LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 23. IT would appear from the reply of the Arch bishop of YORK to the deputation which waited on him on Thursday, that the Bishops, or some of them, am looking forward to the time when they may be compelled to take measures for obtaining an authoritative declaration of the law as it affects those extreme ritualistic practices in our churches of which we have seen and heard so much -- of late. The Ancumsnop spoke with a full sense of the dangers with which these practices are attended; but we may take it as certain that any invocation of the tribunals that may in certain cases be thought advisable will have the solution of a troublesome question, rather than the annoyance of individual offenders, for its object. Indeed, the language which the leaders of the Ritualistic party have been accustomed to hold gives the public a right to expect that this is all that will be necessary, and that if the recent attempt to revive ante- Reformation usage is found to be contrary to the law, it will be readily abandoned. Hitherto the Ritualists have not only relied on a supposed warrant to justify their own course, but have occasionally claimed a degree of credit for forbearance in not requiring its observance by others. "Of the strict legality of " the restored forms and modes of worship, . " the use of incense, lights at celebration, and the " Eucharistic and ancient vestinents,there can be " no manner of doubt," wrote the reverend editor of the Dircctorium ding/hoe/nun, in the preface to the second edition of that work, in August lut. Very recently, however, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER, Sir livou CAIRNS, and two other eminent counsel, have given a must distinct and decided opinion' that those things are severally and altogether illegal, and this opinion the Bishops adopt. On the other aide, however, it is understood legal opinions equally clear have been obtained in direct opposition to that on which the Prelates rely, and it does not appear that anything short of a special judgment of the courts can set the question at rest. Moat impartial persons will be of opinion that a matter of this kind might bo disposed of without resort to the law. Changes in the mode of conducting public worship require above most things to bo guided by sound judg ment and good feeling, and the Rubric plainly indicates the resort of the clergy to the advice of the Bishop for guidance in such matters. The innovators have introduced prac tices contrary to the usage of three hundred years, and the public have only their word that the law is on their side ; nevertheless they proceed as confidently as if they had a recent judgment in their favour. The Rubric directs that when a clergyman has any doubt as to the meaning of the prescriptions contained in the Prayer-book, he shall refer to the Bishop of the diocese, and, if his decision be not satisfactory, to the Archbishop of the province, whose decision shall be final. The Bishop of LoNnuar lately said in the House of Lords that " in many caeca when he had at " tempted to apply this solution he had been " met by this answer, one which he believed " amid not be got over—the Rubric said, if " the clergyman had any doubt,' but these gen " tlemen always rejoined that they had no doubt, " and did not want to refer to the Bishop, or " Archbishop, or anybody else." But, as the Committee of Convocation observe in their Report, the Rubric contemplates not only tho case of doubt in an individual mind, but that of diversity of opinion between two parties, and in either case resort is to be had to the Bishop for the quieting and appeasing such doubt and diversity. It would seem that if the Episcopal church polity were good for anything it ought to furnish a mild domestic authority adequate to such a case as this, and so it would if all parties were animated by the spirit of the system to which they outwardly adhere, and which they are ready enough to extol when obedience and the sacrifice of personal predilec tions are not demanded. But this is far from being the case. It is to be feared that the Arch bishop of Yeas ton well described the temper of the "P.,er-day alien he characterised it as " insuborthhate, and proceeding from a spirit "of self-exaltation and division." We should all be sorry to see the Bishops harassing their clergy by petty and uncalled-for interference, but the practices now in duestien deeply affect the peace of the Church, which has been disturbed no one knows why, and which is still more seriously threatened. A great outcry los been made in times past against the authority of the Bishops; but it certainly was never the intention of the Church of England to make every beneficed priest a pope in his own parish. At present, when a bishop remonstrates, as it is his duty to do, he is exposed to be told, as the Bishop of Lorimer was lately told by Mr. STUART, " that he has as good " a right to his opinion as the clergy have to theirs; " that he may take all lawful means to effect his "object, and that they will take all lawful means "to effect theirs." This is not the spirit in which the Episcopal system can be worked to advantage. MAE 11X- P 1 •-• The Archbishop of Yoiu was hy y ymitified Jarr saying on, Thursday, " that Se %wage held in " some quarters towards any bishop who opposes " ritual innovations is such as no Episcopalchurch, "In modern days at least, has heard within it, and "that i is more coexistent to deny Episcopacy " altogether than to take away those ties of filial " duty on one side, and of fatherly guidance " and protection on the other, which have always " been the essence of its working." Notwithstanding the heated language that has been heard in some quarters, we believe that as soon as an authoritative decision has been pro nounced against these objectionable practices the greater number of clergy who have adopted them will return to a more sober line of conduct. Great latitude is wisely allowed to the various tastes and feelings of ministers and congregations, but it is evident that a limit must be drawn somewhere, if order and unity are to be preserved. The ten dency of the action of certain parties of late has been to make the Church a mere congeries of sects, and should that work ever be accomplished the hold of the Church upon the nation would be very much weakened, if not altogether destroyed. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TIM EXPECTED DISAOLITTION. The Times can see no justification for a dissolu• tion of parliament. Mr. Gladstone has been met with weapons and tactics st least as fair and open as his own: 'lt is inconsistent, moreover, to wish to refer the present question to the existing constituencies, when the very ground of the appeal is an opinion that the constituencies are corrupt usurpations. There is no reason at all why the Reform Bill should not be handed over to next session, for the house has dealt more seriously and respectfully with the abject than the government itself has. The chorus of frightened dissatisfaction with which a certain portion of the press has received the suggestion that ministers have another course open to them than that of abandoning office convinces the Daily News that the idea of • dissolution deserves more con sideration than may seem to be due to it at first sight. The national voice, they say, pronounced last stammer in favour of Lord Palmerston ; the simplest way therefore of determining who it would have as his successor is to take the votes over again. If such • step can only issue in the hopeless ostracism of the great liberal statesmen, as they say will be the case, it is not easy to see why the opposition should protest against it. But, as everyone knows, the ministers chiefly owe their difficulty to the Adullamites, and it cannot be 'apposed that fur their sakes ministers can disregard strong expres sions of opinion which come from the great centres of industry and intelligence. The only course the Adullamites could adopt would be, before ministers have taken an inv. vocable step, to signify their readiness to support the government in its honest endeavours to satisfy the just expectations of the unentranchised by carrying a reform bill. Vague and general offers of support, such as those of which rumours are just now heard, are worthless to a ministry pledged to • reform policy before the country. If the parliamentary defaulters who were elected as liberals, are ready to return to their allegiance and sot with their party instead of against it, well and good •if not, they cannot complain if ministers appeal to the country for a judgment upon their conduct. The Poet revives " the memory of the great minister," and at the same time endeavours to convince the govern ment they have everything to lose by a dissolution. Our contemporary believes that the cabinet will delay its de cision to the last possible moment, and adds that this does not tend to give increased confidence that, when the de cision is arrived at, it will be the one most consistent with that high sense of honour which has all along been so much professed. The Herald appears to believe that the government have not offered an unconditional resignation to her Majesty, but a threatened resignation in the event of the Queen's refusal to agree to a dissolution, but it does not for a moment suppose that her Majesty will give her assent to so mischievous and unjustifiable • measure. Only in the event of the inability of the leaders of the conser vative party to form an administration could her Majesty ask the present ministers to withdraw their resigna tion, or consent to the dissolution which they propose. To entreat or command them to remain in office, to give them the power of dissolution without first ascertaining that no other administration could be formed, would be to take aides in the party conflicts of the country. No one will be foolish or wicked enough to impute the possi bility of such partisanship to the Queen. The Tel gra IA and Star continue to urge a dissolution. mirettive part?sppear to ictve survived trir domestic Paliudion, bat !Mx adminispifilon tented b V Lard Stanley night perhipteseape wander she diffiesiiies wile& would beset a strictly conservative government. & The party might without discredit accept the leadership of a states man who is largely trusted by liberal politicians within 1 and without the walls of parliament. The Spectator, which has been one of the roost persistent opponents of the Reform Bill, and therefore of the mi nistry, thinks it would be beat for the liberal party to accept the natural consequences of the recent defeat, and that the statesmanship of the moment is likely to consist very much in vigilant inaction. The Economia sees no good prospect for the country except in the reinstatement and still better in the recon struction of the liberal government. The vote of the house is not in itself one which compels the resignation of the ministry. The conservative journal, the Preu, says various rumours are in circulation with respect to the intentions of ministers. They seem to repent the haste with which they resolved upon resignation, and numerous modes of evading the difficulty have been suggested. It is believed that reconstruction will be attempted, though, in the pre sent state of the liberal party, this seems altogether hope less. Some more reckless politicians advocate a. dissolu tion, but the effect of this at the present crisis is not likely to be favourable to those who have made such a bad use of golden opportunities. The Queen is expected to return from Scotland on Tuesday, and nothing very definite on the subject will be known until ministers have been in direct communication with the sovereign. The public must restrain their impatience until next week, when they will learn what new surprise Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone may have in store for them. According to the Examiner both politicians and military men wonder at the rash policy of Prussia in pushing so far without possessing an overwhelming force. It looks as if she were aiming not only at the subjugation of North Germany, but of all Germany. It is needless to point out the impolicy of such conduct, which would infallibly bring both France and Russia into the field. But after all, good must probably come of this fearful tempest. Germany will be reformed and unified, whichever side conquers. The Saturday &rim says that the real stream of Prus sia after all is not so much military as politicaL The genius of Austrian generals and the disciplined bravery of Aus trian troops may prevail, and Prussia may be driven back, crushed and humiliated, within her own borders ; but nothing can undo the effect of the great political revelation that has been made this week to Europe. Wherever the Prussians go in North Germany, they go really as friends and not as enemies. They have shown that it is true that the courts, and not the people, of North Germany are against them ; and they have shown that these courts have no hold over their subjects, have won neither popular respect nor affection, and that the whole structure of these petty kingdoms and principalities is rotten. The Spectator thinks • new possibility of compromise has arisen which the first great battle may make it both possible and expedient to work out. Silesia once fairly occupied, and a pitched battle won, the two powers could cease from fighting, find each other enormous gainers, and by a new alliance protect German territory across the Rhine. The Examiner characterises the report of the Jamaica commissioners as a whitewashing report, though parte of the case are so black that they cannot be whitened, and the blackness stares through the whitewash. We do not detect any suppression of the truth ; there is admission of much that was wrong, of some criminal acts, but for a ll excuses are suggested directly or indirectly. A narrative of St. Bartholomew might be so drawn up as to make the catholies appear more sinned against than sinning. The Spectator says that the language in which the com missioners censure practices and language which they admit to have been culpable, is soft in the extreme. There is no piano-wire in the lash of the commissioners. ffht Court. BALMORAL, Je Ns 21. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena and Princess Beatrice, went out driving yesterday morning. In the afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Helena and attended by the Duchess Dowager of Athole and Miss MacGregor, went to Allt-na-Guithasach and the Glassalt. Princess Louise and Prince Arthur went out riding, attended by Miss Cathcart. Princess Beatrice went out driving. On the receipt of the unexpected news of the defeat of the government in the House of Commons the Queen ordered the arrangements for the return of the court to Windsor to be hastened, and will now leave Balmoral on Monday next, the 2.5 th inst. The Prince of Wales presided yesterday at a meeting at the South Kensington Museum of the Royal Commissioners for the Universal Paris Exhibition of 1867. The Princess of Wales took a carriage drive, attended Ly the Counteas of Maccleafield. The Prince of Wales rode out on horseback, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Keppel.

Upwards of 900 persona were pre sent, and consequently, in • pecuniary point of view, the ball was a great success. By the death of General the Earl of Rosalyn, Lieutenant-General Knollys, colonel of the 62nd Regi- meat, becomes a general; Major-General J. R. Young, colonel of the 80th, a lieutenant-general ; and Colonel John Yorks, C. 8., Commandant of the Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea, a major-general. Lord Rosalyn was the junior of his rank, having attained it so Late as April last. THE WAR. The Times says it is now admitted by the Austrians themselves that Prussia has gained very great advantages, and that these have been afforded her by the imprudence of the Austrian government itself. It would probably have been impossible under any circumstances to save Hanover, but the occupation of the other States is directly due to the unreadiness of the Vienna Court, which pro voked a powerful and unscrupulous enemy before its own preparations were complete. The whule plan of operations devised by the generals of the Austrian alliance is now in a great degree discomfited. The minor states are signally discouraged, and it is even rumoured that Bavaria hesitates to take at present an active part in the campaign, on the ground that Austria is not yet ready. The Austrian government will, no doubt, do its best to restore the balance in its own favour. It will strain every nerve to give assistance to the Federal army in the west, as well as to reconquer Saxony, and to possess itself of Silesia. The last news is that the Federal army is moving northward, and that 12,000 Austrians are on their way to join it. It is not im possible that a terrible encounter may take place within the next few days. While the main armies of the two belligerents are moving slowly towards each other the fate of Central Germany may be already decided. In an article devoted to the prospects of Italy, the Timer ups it is ready to confess that, whether it be by peace or war, it would rejoice to see Venice restored to Italy, and the Alps and the Isonzo rising as a perpetual barrier be tween the two irreconcilable races, whose intercourse has been since the days of Otho I. a perpetual infliction of misery upon one another. Mysterious tales reach the Herald of the demoralisation of the Italian forces, and sinister accounts of the wide spread disaffection of the troops of the Prussian Landwehr. On the other side, the num* of the Austrians is said to be excellent. They have all confidence in the skill of the veteran generals who command them, and are eager for the fight, believing in the justice of their cause. THE WEEKLY PRESS. Though there are good grounds for an appeal the country, the Examiner doubts much whether ministers will resort to it. A dissolution, however, before long there must be, for a conservative ministry could Lot hold office in the face of an opposition numbering snore than 300. Their allies for the nonce would soon drop off and resume their places in their former ranks, and there would be that government on sufferance against the evils of which Lord Derby, and his son Lord Stanley, have so vehemently protested. As for a coalition, the Examiner believes it to be quite out of the question. Nothing, how ever, is known and nothing can be known, of the commu nications between her Majesty's ministers and her Ma- I jesty and their results, till Monday or Tuesday. The Satarday Review, professing to lament the fate of the ministry, proceeds to attribute it in a measure to Mr. Gladstone's unfortunate inventions, and to his want of skill and conciliation. A deeper cause is in the fact that the questions of the day are very vague I and not such as to unite leaders and supporters ' among the liberal party as was the wise with free trade, the Italian war, end the policy of non-intervention. The liberal party wants time to think, time to persuade itself and the country what is needed and what can be earned into practice. Much, therefore, as the Saturday /keine regrets the particular manner in which the party has been broken up it cannot think that it will have any real reason to lament if the conservatives will kindly do it the great service of taking office in its stead. The foreign policy of a Derby government would be regarded L with reasonable suspicion, for the retrograde theories and despotic sympathies of the principal leaders of the eon- • "Ai+ i'~ t • • 23, - 18616 - - ROME.

Of 33 per isapsisoned in this city for political offences, 20 have received, by order of the Pope, a coinmntation of their term of imprisonment, and four have been set at liberty. The Avoca, from Southampton on 12th inst., arrived here on the 21st at 7 a.m., and left at 4 p.m. for Alexandria. The Masailia, from Marseilles 20th inst., arrived to-day at 4 p.m., and leaves at 11 p.m for Alexandria. The Criminal Court of this town has given judg ment in the case of the sailors of the Rederis Arca, guilty of mutiny and murder. Lenard, Villic, Carbuccia, and Thibauld have been condemned to death. The other prisoners were acquitted. THE YACHTINCI CRUISE OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AT LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY Num?. As soon as the yachts made their start, the head of the Alert was turned down the river, amidst the cheers of hundreds of persons crowded on the piers on both shores, as well as from some dozen of overloaded steamers follow ing in the wake of the Alert. On pasting the North Fort a royal salute was fired. Shortly r the yachts to the mouth of the river the wind gradually fell, and it was with great difficulty that they succeeded in rounding the north-went lightship, and it soon afterwards became so calm that all hopes of the race coming to a termination in the daytime had reluctantly to be given up, to the intense regret of the various owners and crews of the yachts, oho unexpectedly deprived of a chance of re ceiving the Queen's cup from the hands of royalty. To' pass the time, however, the Duke (now a Master of Trinity House) went on board the north-west light-ship d. m i n utely inspected the elaborate lig htin an g apparatus on board. After luncheon, the Alert steamed slowly towards the mouth of the Dee, and here several of the royal party went in boats to Hilbre Island, where they rambled about for some time. After watching the vain efforts of the competing yachts to make headway, the Alert slowly steamed along the coast towards Liverpool, amidst more hearty cheers from eager and patient spectators on both shores. The Duke and party landed at the Prince's land ing stage about 6 p.m., and drove off to the Grange in company with his worthy host, Mr. Graves, M.P., who is the commodore of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club. To day the Duke will visit the yards of Messrs. Laird Brothers, at Birkenhead, lay the foundation of the Children's In firmary, and deliver prizes in St. George's Hall to volun teers who have been the best shots during the week at the contest of the County Rifle Association. The Duke will leave Liverpool about 5.20 p.m., we understand, for Trentham, the seat of the Duko of Sutherland, who will next week entertain their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales.

As is usual in war times, the manufacture °f false news has received considerable development ; reports are circulated one moment to be contra dicted the neit. The telegraphic wires, instead of conveying correct intelligence with rapidity, are made the means for spreading fabrications which would seem to be got up for the mere purpose of pandering to excited imaginations. The public, therefore, cannot be too much on its guard in accepting as true everything that is brought by the telegraph in the shape of war news. Up to the latest accounts no movements of importance have taken place. A military corres pondent of the Times, writing from Olmutz on the 19th, says that at that date everything was in activity in the camp of Benedek, and that the h ea d qua rters were to be changed, as he supposed, " in a westerly direction." But on the even ing of the same day directions" adds a line stating that they were to move on Trubau, in Bohemia. The place referred to is -pro bably Troppan, a town of Austrian Silesia, on the extreme frontier of Bohemia, north-east of Olmutz, and at no great distance from Neisae, in Prussian Silesia, where we stated yesterday that I the Crown Prince of Prussia was concentrating his forces. Further information received to-day from Germany states that the Prussian army in Silesia is being rapidly reinforced. On the 19th and 20th 14 trains were despatched every two hours by Breslau, with troops belonging to the first corps d'arm‘e to Ratibor, in Silesia, which is a little to the north of Troppau. Regiments belong ing to the sth and Gth Prussian army corps have been forwarded by other routes. Landschut, Walden burgh, Friedland and Hirschberg have been almost denuded of troops. The first and second regiment of the guards have been sent in six trains from Berlin to Neiaae, and even the army of the Elbe, under Prince Frederick, has been weakened to reinforce the Silesian army under the Prince Royal. Both armies therefore seem to be concentrating on the confines of Silesia, and perhaps in a few days we may hear of a great battle on the very ground which was the scene of many a hard struggle be tween Austrians and Prussians in the Seven Years' war. in the western field of operations the Prussians have advanced southwards to Plauen, which is the next station to Hof, in Bavaria. In Electoral Hesse the Prussian General Beyer is moving by forced marches towards Hersfeld, with a view of cutting off the retreat of the Hessians or Hanoverian troops, who, the telegrams informed us, had effected their junction with the Austro Bavarian army. Yesterday we published a proclamation, which came by Reuter's telegram. and which purported to be an address of General Benedek to his army. It now appears that the document was forged. The following is the real address of the general : Headquarters, Olmutz, June 17. Soldiers,—His Imperial Majesty has announced to-day to his faithful subjects that all his efforts for the mainte nance of peace have been vain, and that he is forced to take up the sword to uphold the honour, the in dependence, and the power of Austria and her noble allies. The uncertainty which hitherto weighed upon us is at last removed, and our soldiers' hearts can beat more freely. Our gracious sovereign and head calls us to arms. Full of confidence in God we march forward to a just and holy war. Now, then, soldiers, our heaviest task has begun. Germans, Hungarians, Sclaves, and Italians from far and near, you have hastened to place yourselves with joyful devotion under the flags of the Emperor. Behold them flying once more ; they invite you to combat for the just cause of the Emperor, for the most sacred interests of Austria, for the supreme good of our country. Those flags you will hear aloft and firm ; and with God's help you will bear them gloriously to victory. To arms, then ! You know, soldiers, what I am, what I feel for you, what I require and expect of you. Let every man, with all his heart, and all his strength, with bounding courage, and with contempt for death, justify the confidence of the Emperor, our beloved and oft-tritd master, in order that I may soon say to you, with joy, "you have behaved valiantly, as became Austrian soldiers. The country is proud of you ; the Emperor is satisfied with you." RIMEL/ER. The democratic party in Germany are bestirring themselves. The Frankfurt Journal says that " a committee of public safety for the national defence" has been established in the Palatinate and Rhenish Hesse. The central committee are exerting them selves to found affiliated societies throughout Germany. Every member must contribute six kreutzers a week. The wealthy are invited to promote the work by voluntary contributions. The same journal adds that the National Verein have placed at the disposition of the Rhenish committee the funds which they had collected for a German fleet.

During the first vet there were five morning performances in addition to tie performances in the evening, and on the pay alb si the end of the week the defendant handed the plena% The plaintiff asked for payment fur the morning a perfeen ances, but the defendant expressed Koine doubt lin whether he was entitled to it. Subsequently, however,* cording to the plaintiff's evidence the defendant middle had paid him at that time for these performances, he vosli have to pay all the other principal artistes, but hs wed make all right with him at the end of the The plaintiff, however, never got the money e , n s l iC i t compelled to bring this action. A considerable nu nber of acrobats, pantornimisie, al equestrians who had been employed at Cremona, it Alhambra, Astley's, and otberplaces of entertsinmens,wers called and deposed that it was the cust om in the minim to pay extra for morning performsnces. Mr. Thos.

When the Fins tiff asked to be paid for the morning performances ibe defendant inquired of Mr. Henderson, tbe m anager of ths entertainments, whether the claim was light, and lir y was that it was not. Mr. Henderson then said is the plaintiff, " You know, Bond , that if you wee with Hengler, or any other circus proprietor, you would no t k el it." Bond said he did not care what other people (Ha, us intended to be paid.

Upon cross-examination the defendant admitted Ski he had never been engaged in any such speculstiou before, and he knew nothing about the custom. Mr. John Henderson corroborated some part et the aw fendant's evidence, and said lie was under the mermaid' that all the artistes were given fully to uuderstaridtkei they were not to be paid extra for the rehearsals or the morning p er f o rmances. He said the gene ral rule incite cubes was for a performer to give two or three cense* formanoes without receiving additional p a y . If there was more such performances, no doubt the artiste would see: eider them excessive, and he would most likely &nog something extra. At least he knew he should, and if bi did not get it he would leave.
