Ir is not • good sign that the charges of the Bishops of our Protestant Church are becoming more and more like those " Pastorals " and " Allocutions " which the Pope of ROME has scattered of late years in such profusion. There is the same feminine excess of sensibility to oppo sition, the same propensity to indulge in broad accusations against the age, and to quarrel with its modes of thought and its organization of in telligence, expressed in the same shrill treble in both classes of episcopal literature. Bishop Wics..ll has added another to the list of charges which are but long chidings of his times. He is not so disconsolate as his brother of Gcorcrsrea and BaurroL : nature and grace appear to have contended in its composition, and we sus pect that if the shadows in his picture are relieved by lights not to be found in that drawn by Bishop Eiracorr, we owe it to his happier constitution, while the shadows represent the sad temper which Bishops think appro priate to these latter days. There was a cheery assurance in one of Bishop WIGE.I.II'S earliest episcopal utterances--the confidence expressed to his clergy that if he only knew Hebrew he could confute his erring Colonial brother—which pro. raised well for the diocese of Rochester, and which is not altogether absent from this charge. Still the Bishop conforms to the fashion of the day a great deal more than becomes one of the heads of the Protestant Church. He cannot resist dwelling on the "painful subject" which has formed the staple of so many episcopal addresses. Men of repute, be complains, have sent out writings in opposition to the " old doctrines," and the wicked periodical press has carried them into the homes of the com mon people, where their effects are pernicious. Men's minds have been harassed by distrust., per plexity, and alarm. This is the dark side of the pic ture. But on the other hand, the gainsayers have been encountered in their most devious paths by men of truth, power, and learning equal to their own, and even humble believers have been able to furnish conclusive answers to many of their objec tions. Moreover, the diocese has not been found wanting in the hour of trial ; no deep impres 'ion has been made, no serious damage done by recent heretical treatises to the faith of the Church. Bocking has not been ahaken, nor Hedingham seduced by subtle wiles, Epping is firm, and Tendring sound in the faith. The clergy have been prompt to support their Bishop ; when he inhibited Dr. Coxr-Nso they approved, and when the PILIMATX explained away the Privy Council judgment they prepared an address. " The heart of the spiritual body," Bishop WIOILAM testifies, "is wholly unaffected for evil " by the false teaching that has been so rife. We venture humbly to suggest to the Bishops whether, if so little harm has been done by the erroneous doctrines lately taught, it is worth while to make so much ado about it, whether in fact all unnecessary outcry ie not injurious. It seems to us that, if Bishop WIGRAY is correctly informed, this incessant agitation is extremely unwise. Every age has its perils and difficulties. When the chief clergy feel inclined to lecture the age and the periodical press on the subject of heresy, they would do well to remember that the cause of the mussiness they feel lies within their own Church ; and the reflection should moderate their censures. They would do well, moreover, to consider, as the public are sure to do, the very unequal conditions under which the warfare between the advocates and defenders of the old and new tenets is carried on. The Church has splen did rewards for those who distinguish themselves by maintaining the doctrines of HOOEER, PEARSON, and WA ERLAN ; while those who would modify them are marked men, cut off from the promotion to which their learning and piety might be supposed toentitle them, and happy if they can escape molestation from their brethren more fortunate in their beliefs. The significance of recent episcopal appointments is not to be mis understood, and is not misunderstood by the younger portion of the clergy—the rich endow ments of the Church, it is seen, will be adminis tered for the encouragement of one tendency of theological thought. We do not say that this is to be complained of ; we merely observe that it is • thing of which the world takes note as constitu ting an inequality of terms in the contest between the clergy of the new and old schools. And , THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, - OCTOBER 25, 1864. since, as Bishop Wroaut observes, very lade of the heresy that has been lately broached fa new, and nearly all of it has been ooncluaively answered before, it would appear that these rewards ate not reserved to compensate the severe efforts of a Law, a Kis°, or a BUTLER, but are within the reach of common industry. With such advantages as these, and being thus able to raise up men to maintain their opinions ; and, above all, having truth on their side, the defenders of orthodoxy may afford to be calm and patient, and cease to vex their generation with cries of alarm that are get ting wearisome. There is one part of his charge which the Bishop might have developed further to advantage—that in which he referred to the more popular scepticism which is of no age or school, but ever confronts the faithful Christian minister. The Bishop tells us that the well-intended word of exhortation is often met with some common saying which the ' " infidel mind " has devised, such as " We have " not to answer for what we believe." " A " man's religion comes from his country or his " education ; he does not make himself what he " is." "No matter what I believe if lam sin " care." "If my heart is right GOD will not " care for my faith." " Orthodoxy is not reli " gion ; they are quite different things." " Re " ligion is for the rich, who have time for it. We " will be religious when our betters show us the " way." There is teaching for both clergy and laity in these familiar expressions, but the lesson is in danger of being lost when they are straight. way referred to the infidel mind. There mint be a cause for the error in these sayings, and it may possibly be entangled with truths which have not been sufficiently recognised, and which serve to make it plausible. It is well if the man who observes that " ortho " dozy is not religion " has never been scandalized by the want of the Christian graces in some one proud of the correctness of his creed. It is no wonder that those who know how lightly many men come by the beliefs which they hold most tenaciously, and who observe what a clamour is made when any one deviates ever so little from the beaten track, should infer too hastily that religion is an accident of education or country. Men will not be brought to think that they have to answer for what they believe by hearing the exercise of the individual judgment condemned under opprobrious names from the pulpit and the episcopal throne. Bishop Wicaan should not too hastily conclude that the expressions he quotes are the direct consequences of scepticism. It would be well to inquire whether he has not inverted the process. We suspect that the scepticism which those familiar sayings embody is an effect rather than a cause, and that it is a sad consequence of the imperfections under which religion has often been presented to the common mind. However this may be, it is too plain from Bishop Wuntam's charge that even in those parts of England which have enjoyed longest the advantages of a settled ministry and parochial supervision, there is work which may tax the energies of the Christian mis sionary as severely as the conversion of Maho metans or Brahmins. TEE PRINCE OF WALLS'S VISIT TO KNOWSLEY.— We (Lererpoo( Mercury) are requested to state that the an nouncement in oar impremion of yesterday of an intended visit of the Prince of Wales to Knowsley and Liver pool is at least premature. We believe that Lord Derby has reason to expect that he may have the honour of re ceiving his royal higbaeee about the time named, but nothing has beet positively fixed. nor has his royal highness intimated any intention with regard to Liverpool. We may be permitted to hope that, unless his royal highaess's time be extremely limited he nay be able to devote one morning to a visit which could not but be hig'ily gratifying to the inhabitants of this loyal and important town. We are informed that no extraordinary preparations for hie royal highness's reception are in programs at Knowsley, and that the noble earl will entertain there a large party during the week commencing on the 7th November. Pima ALIRED.—Bu Royal Highness Prince Alfred, attended by Lieutenant Haig, left Windsor Castle yesterday mauling, shortly after 10 o'clock, for the Great Western Railway station, Windsor, whence his royal highness proceeded by the 10.15 ordinary up passenger train to Paddington. where the prince arrived about 11 o'clock. His royal highness and suite occupied a saloon carriage, which was attached to the usual train. Prince Alfred wee expected to return to the Castle in the evening. It has already been mentioned that his royal highness will take up his residence in Bonn, on the Rhine, daring the coming winter, with a view to pursuing his studies in the univer• city of that town. His suite will consist of five gentlemen, and one of Herr Erurekeil's newly-built houses in the beau tiful and healthy Poppeladorfer-Allis has been taken for him, and is now being arranged (both within and without) in a most elegant and tasty manner. - - His Royal Highness Prince Albert Victor, the infant son of their Royal Iliglinemen the Prince and Princess of Wales, is expected to arrive shortly at Windsor Cantle, where preparations are being made for his reception. Frances Countess of Waldegrave and the Right lion. Chichester Fortescue, AL P., are expected to anise in town on Wednesday or Thursday from Ireland. General and Lady Alice Peel will leave town to-clay on e continental tour. Mrs. Charles Cavendish was safely delivered of a eon yesterday at the nnidenoe of the Lord Chief Jostles of England, is Hertford-street, Mayfair. Both mother and infant are progreming favourably. Lieut.-General Sir John Pennefather, K.C.8., commanding the division at Alderabott, has consented to preside at the sixth inaugural meeting of the Aldershott in stitution for !Lintel Improvement and Soma! Recreation, to be held to-morrow evening. It is in contemplation by the military authorities at Alderabott to devote the building km," as " the Club house" to the holding of immobile' and fashionable riunrias during the winter months. The large Warrior target recently experimented upon at Shoeburyness has bees convoyed to Sheerness dockyard in the Dove naval transport, and is being taken to pieces in the north camber by a party of shipwrights. The remains of the Lord Warden and the Seott•linsaell iron targets have been landed at Chatham dockyard from Shoeburyeess. They are so much battered that they are only fit to be broken up for the service of the dockyard.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. (Via, Orookbavaa.) NEW YORK, Ocr. 11, EVIMING. General Grant, after visiting Washington, has returned to Petersburg. - General Lee', report of Friday's engagement on the north of the James River states that he at tacked the Federals on the Charles City-road, and drove them from two entrenched lines, capturing 10 guns. Finding the enemy further strongly en trenched he did not press them. General Gregg was killed. Southern journals claim that the engagement was a signal victory, the Federals being driven five miles from the city. General Grant repute that his loss on Friday amounted to 400 men, the Confederate loss being 1,100. General Sheridan reports that on the 9th he re treated to Straaburg. During his retreat he de solated the whole country, making it untenable for the Confederate army. In retaliation for the guerillas killing engineer Meige, he burned all the houses for a distance of five miles. He attacked Rosser's cavalry, who pursued him near Strasburg, routing them, and capturing 11 guns and 300 prisoners. General Longatreet has superseded General Early. General Sherman is at Keneaaw repairing the railroad between Atlanta and Allatoona. His army is well supplied, and secure in Atlanta. The Confederate defeat at Allatoona is con firmed. Forrest is escaping across the Tennessee river. Hood has retreated to Dallas. The Richmond papers have favourable news from the north of Georgia, but decline publishing it. Price made a demonstration before Jefferson city to cover the passage of his main army across the Osage river. During the night his army, 20,000 strong, with 20 cannon, passed westward. Plea santon, with 8,000 cavalry, pursued him and en gaged his rear at Jefferson, while Curtis, coming from Kansas, engaged Price in front. Price had proclaimed his intention to remain in Missouri Burbridge reports that be drove the rebels to their works at Saltville, Western Virginia, and withdrew through want of ammunition, leaving behind his wounded. General Beauregard's new department includes East Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. President Davis has returned to Richmond. The Democratic National Committee has issued a threatening protest against the action of the administration for suppressing the Baltimore Evening Post, and requiring the Presidential voters of Tennessee to take Governor Johnson's test oath. These actions, the committee say, reveal President Lincoln's revolutionary purpose, and to attempt to control by these means is to plan crime against liberty and the republic. The committee believe that the people, armed with the constitutional laws, will meet these usurpations with the spirit and determination of their fathers, nor will they suffer executive ambition so far to corrupt the con stitutional remedies of executive wrong-doing as to condemn the people in the immediate future to a condition and remedies of the subject population of the old world. The Nem York World publishes a statement showing that the public debt, including the appro priations to be made by the next Congress, amounts to 4,000,000,000 dols. Vidaurri, Quiroga, Dublado, Zuloaga, and Gars& 114 made their submisaien. General Dwaine was preparing for the return el those French troops under orders to leave Mexico. over the world." And again, "the reasons which urged France to raise the papacy from its ruins, and to be its faithful guardian during fifteen years, rowan in all their force as on the first day, and petuate the duty of our army to watch over the Vatican," not, remark, for two years, as the convention says, but "so long as a stable and certain order of things shall not have guaranteed the independence and security of the Holy Father." Here at length is something new. Here is lan guage widely different not only from any hitherto used by the Coustitutionnet, but from anything to be found in the convention or in M. Drouyn de Lbuys' last despatches. If this article be not dis avowed, I consider it most ominous for Italy. It would betoken a change in the Emperor's policy since he denounced the government of the "dear and holy" city of Rome as hopelessly incompatible with modern ideas. A correspondent of the hidependance says that the Austrian government is beginning to be alarmed at the frequent visits of French officers of rank to inspect the fortifications of Venetia. The Bourse has again gone down. Rente fell 35c. for cash, and 25c. for account, closing at 64fr. 75c. Mobilier fell 20fr., and Cr6dit Fonder 15fr. Railway' are all lower.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. VIENNA, Ocr. 2.5. It in positively stated that peace will be concluded with Denmark in the course of the present week. THE DUCHIES. The demands of the Prussian government in the duchies seem to be increasing. Whatever may be the resignation of Danmark to accept the heaviest sacrifices, she does not appear to have yet been able to convince the allies of her sincere de sire to see peace concluded. The Bcrlingske Tidende contains accounts of further acts of rigour from the occupation. Not satisfied with having ruined Jutland by prohibiting the exportation of corn and cattle, the Prussians have just adopted a measure which completely annuN Art. 6 of the armistice, in virtue of which the various amounts of surplus found in the local treasuries, after the payment of the goods furnished to the allied troops and of the expenses of the administra tion, should be restored to Denmark when the country is evacuated. General de Falkenstein has now published a decree which shows that Denmark, instead of having to receive any sum of money on the conclusion of peace, must, on the contrary, expect to have to pay a considerable amount to liquidate all the expenses of the occupation. The German populations of Sleewig-Holstein continue to manifest their desire for the early in stallation of a definite government under the sceptre of Duke Frederick VIII. Most of the rural dis tricts, following the example of the municipalities of the towns, have held meetings to vote resolutions to the effect that they will not re.nnise any other sovereign than Duke Frederick, that the relations of the Duchies with Germany or Prussia can only be regulated by the duke ; and lastly, that MM. Samwer and Francke, the liberal advisers of that prince, enjoy their full confidence. SPAIN. The Epoca of Madrid gives the following not very favourable picture of the state of atiairs in Spain : The cabinet of the Duke of Valencia on asoendiog to power finds the questions of Santo Domingo and Peru still open ; the former the cane, of tremendous outlay, and innumerable sacrifices which have perturbed very mate rially the finaaoss of the country, and the latter ready at any moment to bring on the contingencies of • war ; the question of the recognition of Italy still pending, and the affair of the Neapolitan archives not yet closed. The aspect of affairs caused by the late Franco- Italian convention adds not • little to ite embarrassments. The state of the interior is not more cheering ; the policy of the country is swayed by factions; the Progressieta party is determined to adhere to its nonvoting programme, and is daily entering more and more blindly into the den. gerons path in which—after its lamentable circular of the 20th of August—it will find itself ; the de mocratic party, arrogant and threatening, is enveloped in • revolutionary atmosphere, drawing towards it the ill-advised Progreeaistas ; parliament rendered powerless to continue its high functions after it voted the law of " Par. liamentary Incompatibilities;" the Treasury calling for energetic, urgent, and salutary measures to free it from the pressure it is labouring under, and which the credit laws, passed by Senor Salaverria, were unable to remove ; the financial crisis, aggravated by the continuation of the American war and the agitations in lkitalonis caused by want of work reducing hundreds of the labouring class to misery ; the monetary crisis embarrassing commerce and sowing disquietude among all classes, and public opinion deeply agitated. CORERS FROM PARIS. (mom on OWN 001115PONDENT.) PARIS. 110SDAT ETEMO. It is now given out as positive that not only the day but the hour of the Emperor's departure for Nice is fixed. He is, we are told, to leave Paris at 1 o'clock on Wednesday, Oct. 26 ; and he will be accompanied by two of his aides-de-camp, General Fleury and Vice-Admiral Jurien de la Gravitire. But even now there is uncertainty. The Prance says :—" The rumour runs that the inter view between the sovereigns will take place else where than at Nice." The Temps, while giving like other journals the news of the Emperor's de parture on Wednesday says, alternatively, "or on Thursday at farthest." Neither the Pays nor the Constitution/id says anything about the day. Now I hear from a private source that the Czar will I positively leave Nice on the 29th ; and if, as the Temps says, Napoleon 111, does not leave Paris till the 27th, it would almost necessarily follow that the meeting would take place, not at Nioe, but at some place where the Czar would stop on his way back to St. Petersburg. The Em peror Napoleon would scarcely choose to arrive at Nice just as the Czar was packing up to go away. The Prase, however, says that on his way back from Nice Napoleon !IL is expected to stay at Marseilles to inspect the new port of La Joliette. Nothing more is said to-night about the visit of the Czar either to Paris or Com piegne. M. Gueroult, in the /pinion Nationale, calls attention to the fact that only yesterday the news arrived of three more capital executions of political prisoners in Poland, and he thinks it ex traordinary indeed that, if it be really true that Napoleon lIL is going out of his way to clasp the hand of the Czar of Russia ia.friendly grasp the latter should not at least have had the politeness to stay the work of blood for a little while in that unhappy country, which France but very recently promised effectually to befriend. The Emperor of Russia has sent a polite tele graphic message to Paris, thanking the French government for the arrangements made to main tain his incognito during his journey to Nice. Thanks to the measures taken, the Empress who was very un.vell when she left Darmstadt, arrived in Nice not only without fatigue but in an improved state of health. If M. Paulin Limayrac's latest manifesto in the Constitution/4e/ was, as I thought it, and as the Labatt says this morning, utterly insignificant, as merely repeating what has been said a dozen times before, the same cannot be said of an article in this evening's Pays on the opening of the Italian par liament, and signed Grenier. This article, which I fear will take Italy by surprise, says, "The Italians must no longer hesitate to admit that Boma is not an Italian city, but the religious capital of catholicism, and that therefore France does not with hold to the detriment of Italy a portion of Italian territory, but that she protects, in the interest and in the name of catholicism, a dear and holy city, Amick ir the common property of oatholics all nionAiLa.

The famous swallow painted by Carl Vernet on the ceiling on the Cdg Foy, Paris, is the cause of • law mit. The landlord opposed at a late bankruptcy sale of the tenant's effects the right the latter claimed to sell it.

SINGULAR OCCURRILNCR—A TAMS EAGLE AND sere Viarroas.—For the last tea years William Pike, Faq., of Glandarary, Achill, has had • golden eagle, which he got before it was folly fledged, and which is csagidered one of the Boast specimens in the kingdom, perfect in plumage, and quite tame. It is kept in • large cage, made of wire about the thickness of sheep fencing. For more than a year past two wild eagles of the same species have frequented the mountain over his house. They have on several occasions alighted on the cage of the tame eagle, and also oo the top of the house. They are not in the least shy, and, ea no one is permitted to molest them, they seem quite at home. Last week one of them broke through into the cage to the tame eagle, where he remained for • few minutes, and got out again. On Friday, the 21st, he broke in again, when some of the workmen stopped his means of exit, which seemed to astonish him no little. He was • splendid bird, with • spread of wing of appareotly over eight fast. After keeping him half an hoar, Mr. Pike opened the cage door and let bin , out. At first he did not fly, as he seemed out of breath with his exertions, but allowed himself to be driven for fifty yards, to a rising ground. where he took wing. Instead, however, of flying off at once, be remained poised over the age, but at a great height, for tee animates. These eagles build in the cliffs of Dooega, four miles off, la the face of • precipice which is about I,ooofeet high, and perpendicular. The tame eagle seems to be the attraction ; the wild ones ramie in sif i ll s, of it about four hours each day. They chiefly prey upon which are abundant is the locality. Their mode of par seise them is curious. They almost always haat in maples, and, when ono, the hare is started, one pokes itself in the air to mark the game, whilst the other twists sad taros about like a greyhound, within a few yards of the ground. If, by any chance, the pursuer loses sight of the prey, he at oaoe poises, and the other takes up the running, and soon till they Express.
