The Bishop has interfered ener- getically, and to-morrow ceither the light of Mr. ALLEN, nor the fire of Mr. limo, nor the iconoclastic enthusiasm of a mob will di,turb the gloom and soli. tade of the parish church. A fortnight ago the Bishop, writing from languid Lland Ain°, bc: wailed at inordinate length the little power he had to remedy the mischieh which were raging at St. Georges. Arrived at Carlisle, the bracing influence of the northern air is soon appe•ent in WI corre spondence ; his last note is terse and pithy, and could not have been shorter unless his Lordship had merely written, " Shut up the Church." It is an extreme measure to be resolved on at a distanoe from the scene; although if it be tree that the Bishop has no means of stii r li os hie want of official authority by Influence or endeavours, we do not see what else he was to do. Many, however, 11:11 ask whether It can be that his Lordship was reduced to this last entre measure, in order to eneotain outward pease. His Lordship cannot be on very distant terra with the Rector of the parish, whom he recently invited to co-operate with him in the London Diocesan Mis sion, and we all know that he it very popular in the eastern section of the Metropolia Can it be that. with Mephistophelian cunning, these troubles have been made to fall in a season when, as their authors knew, the Bishop, who knows what is due to social propriety, could not be in town? The process by which St. George's-in-thr East has been first emptied of worshippers, then filled with rioters, and finally shut up, is remarkable. Bosse clergymen all but empty their churches by their mortal dulness., end leave the residuary congregation to sleep. Mr. Jima has pursued a more active career. lie has had his ideas and aim., and his plan of action, and has been untiring in their pursuit. The populatien of Bt. George's is shoot 60,000, of whom 30,000 are under his special charge, there being two district churches. lie keeps five curates, and cele brates eighteen services a week in the pariah church. Then he has a " mission " to the poor who live at a distance from the church, sni are not likely to be brought to it ; and in connexion with it two licensed chapels. In the first nine month of the mission, May to December, 1846, its special revenue was 960/. ; in the second year, 1867. 18004. ; and in the first four months of 1866 as much as 7•01. was received. Connected with the mission are schools with 300 pupils, sad • refer or penitentiary for females. Here, sorely, is activity enough. Mr. KING is not one of the drones of the Church. Bat what is the me' t of all this energy ? What has his activity done to make good the influence of the Church' Bt. George's, which will hold about 1,200 people, is not even moderately well attended. Mr. limo admitted this before a select committee of the Houle of Lords, but he ermined for the fact by alleging the repellent cha. racter of the pew system. He his etreas rearranged the sittings without remedying the GO. Of 30,000 parishioners under Mr. Kitto'v care not more than 60 &pp( ar:as communicants at St. George's, and 46 at the two inferior chspile. As to that personal indexes , which the incumbent of the parish ought to possum, and which is contemplated in the education end social position assigned to our clergy, we not only see no signs of it, but have direct proof of a contrary feeling. We do not refer to the behaviour of the ruffians who have invaded St. Georgs's of late, more t i eoj +y the sport of baiting a gentleman who could Cot for his cloth take his own pert, then out a regard for partizaler points of faith, bat to the absence ham the church of those who sight for de cency's sake have protected their Minister from per- Donal ontngs. It meet parochial contests there is a recta's Si a vicar's party, but Mr. KING appears literally to have no friends. When that patterns" dame to 6t. George'', 16 yeara ago, the people Wen detindly attached to the ehareh, ma he himself has berm witness. Their pelmet fitapoeition remains t. bessuotuated for. It is broadly and popularly assumed that the , difference between the Rector of 8% George's and DU people is theological. This is only indirectly I tree. The history of his incumbency, or at least of the greater part of it, is that of a struggle to ester blish a false church relationship to his pa rishioners. He his striven zealously to build up as official wall of separation between the clergy and laity, and has succeeded to) well. The curates of the parish church, instead of living in families live, together with a laymen who is a midi date for orders, in a " clergy house." The mission curates, in Eke manner, live together under a semi monastic role, in a mission-house, and wear a special garment. The laity are in every way reminded that church work is clergy work,—at any rate, not their work. Not only i 3 their advice not taken, their co operation not sought, but even a very large portion of the funds for carrying out the Rector's system of wor ship are brought from another and distant parish. The subscriptions for maintaining the mission , chapels and their Romish 'trainee are mainly drawn from St. Paul's and St. Barnabu', Knightsbridge. If laymen are wanted to act as scripture readers they are usually brought out of the parish, and they live with the members of the mission. If pious women are wanted to assist in acts of mercy they are received from all parts of England—except St. George'sein-the•Eamt—fontsed into a sisterhood, ex pected to attend daily at the mission chapel, and they wear a peculiar dress. Thus every pains is taken to make a free and genial cooperation of the laity and the clergy impossible. The latter are in the habit of speaking of themselves as if they were in an enemy's country. This mode of thought runs through all their habits and 'Odom. Their submissive pa rishioners are rather their captives than their flock. Tnis is the system which has jag broken down. The " mission" has helped to shut THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1859. Y the pariah church. To gratify priestly pride, the resources of Christian feeling and Christian snow, lying latent in the parish and asking red ratios, have been allowed to be unimproved, and, instead of union and harmony between the Rector sad the better part of his people in enterprises for the good of the weak and wandering, we see es trangement and strife. It is a history fell of instroo flan for those who are sspable et profit:ns by observation. The lesson is that of all English hie tory—that while there is no country in which the deserving Ministers of religion enjoy a triter and higher respect, there is not one in which hierarchical presumption will be so effectually repressed. irbt Court.

The particular article which excited the mirth of the Dibats was one of the latter category. That is a fact perfectly well known in newspaper circles in Paris. Another important distinction which the Constitutirmnol finds it convenient to overlook is that in Louis Philippe's time there was no law of signatures : now every newspaper article is required by statute to be signed by the " real author," and the government, in supplying articles to be adopted by Peter and Paul, makes itself an accomplice in the perpetual violation of the law.

(Isom ova srzciAL co PIACENZL, STMT. 19. When I left Turin for this place, the delegates o Parma, Piacenza, and Modena were still the object of enthusiastic manifestations of fabling on the part of the whole Turin population. Banquets, illumina tions, songs and speeches from the balcony of the hotel, were of constant occurrence, and, in a word, the people of the capital seemed unable to control their enthusiasm, which found vent not only in acclamation. out of doors, but even within the sacred precincts of Superga and of the Deem°. It was a matter of course that loud cheers of " Long live Vittorio Emmanuele, King of Italy," resounded through every part of the cathedral, and in every corner of the Piazza Castello, when either the Kiog or the delegates showed themselves to the eager multitude. It was indeed a spec tacle which could not fail to produce a thrilling effect upon every person present ; and assuredly his Majesty himself, was not exempt from this feeling, which appeared bat too visibly in his countenance. The most remarkable speeches I heard from the dele gates were made by Professor Fioruzzi, one of the delegates from Piacenza. You will remember that even in 1848 the first move towards a union with Piedmont was mule by the city of Piacenza. Raving got rid, almost by a miracle, of the garrison that manned its then formidable citadel, that city, in the great days of March, hoisted the Sardinian together with the national colours, and sent a deputation to Charles Albert to tender its allegiance. In 1848 the result of the votes of this town was 37,000 for the union with Piedmont, 69 for union with Lombardy, 300 for union with the States of the Church, 10 for union with Parma. As you see, there was already an overwhelming majority for union with Piedmont, and it seemed almost im possible that the wishes of the people could be ex pressed in a more decisive manner when a new and more favourable occasion should present itself. This, however, has been the case, for not only the vote of the National Assembly, which a few days ago was prorogued sine die, was unanimous, but the feeling of the inhabitants of this town cannot be mistaken even by the most careless observer, There is not a street, there is not a house in Piacenza where Son may not see large placards posted upon the walls which tell you that the citizens of this town have made up their minds to be united with Piedmont. " Vogliamo Vittorio Emmanuele pernoetro Re," such is the io ecrip tion which my eyes meet everywhere when I walk through the narrow streets and along the spacious squares of this ancient residence of the Funcee princes. And remember that M. de Reiset had not forgotten to come here also on his errand, and to bring the Imperial word, warning the influ ential people of Piacenza that the provisions of as Villafranca bargain must be carried into effect. AU hie warnings, however, were of no av►il, and the French diplomatisee mission did not meet with any better success in the Duchy of Parma than it did in the Legations and in Tuscany. What is most striking in regard to Piacenza is, that a garrison of 10,000 French troops is walking its streets, and that, as you may easily imagine, the advice of the Parisian envoy has been ex officio backed by the salu tary influence of General De Frilly, the commander in-chief of Napoleon's soldiery in this town. Ido not know how the Emperor will be able to keep his word so solemnly given to his new Imperial friend at Villafranca, but what is certain is, that as a storm may come suddenly but never without warning, he may take the vote of this Assembly as the forerunner of a fierce resistance were he unwise enough to bring back the dethroned Princes to the right bank of the Po. The whole loped of the political sky is lower ing, and no one knows where or how the thunderclouds may burst. If the wishes of the people of these provinces are about to be disre garded, no diplomatic meetings, no Imperial ad monitions, not the most anxious dealers and aspirations for peace will avert revolutionary dis turbance from these fair and fertile plains. You may depend upon it that the transition from order to revolution will be in these States the work of a day; and it will be like the transition from a peace fed household retiring to rest as usual after a merry evening and family prayers, to a fight with armed thieves who are contriving to break into the house. No one can now deny that the Italians are quite able to take care of themselves if left alone, for since the wretched governments of three Dukes and Duchesses have been overthrown, not one instance of disorder has arisen to cloud the bright promise of Italian independence. If we take up the official gezdttes of Parma and Modena of last March and April, we read that during those two months 14 armed burglaries had been perpetrated in the farms and villages of those two small dukedoms. Since their old rulers have been sent away not one act of violence has occurred in these States. The same fact is to be notioed in the Legations, where personal security was quite out of question in the most populous towns and boroughs an hour after sunset. I hays taken great care to verify what I have just written, and I have had in my hoods the official proofs of it. Order and security are maintained in a most exemplary manner both here and in the State which has now got rid of the papal L.gate. What then is requisite but only to respect the wishes of a people who, during five most trying months, have numieitakeably proved to Europe their wisdom and Maas fur self-govern ment and social order? There is not even a email minority who desire the restoration of the Nino., and Cardinals in those States ; there remain not even the demoralised soldiery who have followed them, for the troops of Modena who joined with the Duke at Oatiglia are deserting by scores every day. As for the fidelity of the Papal native soldier', the Legate at Pesaro has been obliged to issue an order that the saddles of the dragoons should be removed from the stables, so much his Eminence feared to see the faithful horsemen pass into General Fanti's camp at a moment's notice. Such is the state of things in Northern and Central Italy, and with these elements at work no one an reasonably believe in the possi bility of opposing the universal wishes of these people. Louis Napoleon is, no doubt, powerful, bat the Italians are sensitive and determined. THB 114218111 D 111-NARRI 870R7.

The Pearls states that, according to a despatch sr rived in Paris to-day, the Archduke Maximilian is appointed Governor of Venetia, and is in all pre bability invested with extraordinary powers. The same despatch is reported to announce that a con gress will assemble at Brussels under the presidency of King Leopold. None of the other jao-nals confirm this news, and nothing is known of it at the agency 1 where private telegraphic messages are usually re ceived. The announcement in the Pattie is cot published in the form of a communiqui, and if truss, which must be considered very doubtful, it can only be founded on some accidental knowledge of official intelligence. The Pays end Patric both throw doubts upon the news from Zurich that peace is to be signed between France and Austria alone, the question of the Duchies standing over, and Austria holding Piedmont to the prelimi naries of Villafranca. The Patric observes that the intelligence appears to be traceable to an Austrian source at Frankfort, and that its adoption by a tory organ in London is no sufficient confirmation. As to any positive information on the subject, the moat profound silence is observed here in all those quar ters which are generally looked to for indications of what is going on at court. The Italians in Paris express extraordinary confidence that an will come right, and that if anybody is to be deceived it will be Austria. In the Constiiutiannel M. Grangoillot undertakes to answer the humorous article of the Debate, in which M. Prevost Paradol exposed the prevailing system of sending to the country papers from a government office leading articles, ready oat and dried, which are signed by various editors as if they were their own product ions,and not unfrequently cited afterwards by the ifoniteur As evidence of "public opinion in the provinces." hat in the same way the Monitory often quotes, as the principal feature of the English press, paragraphs, with the origin of which it has every morn to be well acquainted, from one particular London journal. The Chastity amine!, following the approved principle in the conduct of a controversy which teaches that raillery should be met with reproving frowns, affects to be very much shocked that the Debate should laugh at so sad a matter as the barrenness of invention of the French provincial press. The writer explains the fact, which he laments in thi, way. It very often happens that the entire staff of a country paper consists of a single individual, who iv at once printer, proprietor, manner, and editor. The budget of such journals is com monly very restricted. Their distress for " copy" led to the formation in Paris of an "honest and intelligent agency," which "fur very small profits" undertake* to supply them with matter, and hence it happens that the same leading article often appear& simultaneously in the north and in the south of France. The necessity for this central manufacture of political essays arose , u the Con- stitugionnel would have its readers believe, out of the discontinuance by the prevent government of the bad practice of the monarchy of July, which on every oocuion of importance 11111 in the habit of ' sending elaborate articles into the departments, for publication by all the papers that would take them. The country editors were very sorry to find the imperial government scrupulous not to exercise undue influence upon public opinion, departing from the ways of its foregoer., and ceasing to furnish them with matter gratis. Hence the advent of the" honest agency " as a mere private speculation. Now, I apprehend that if the independent Paris journals were quite ea free to speak as the ministerial circular pretends, they would not accept this statement of the CYO as altogether correct. It is quite true that in Louis Philippe'e time the provincial papers were occasionally, perhaps even frequently, crammed by his ministers. But it is important to observe that it was not the government, but the ministry which furnished the articles. The opposition could and did do the like, and therefore the mina:sera in thia kind—of the constitutional ministers responsible to parliament—were rather part of a system of party organisation than a governmental trick. The papers being then free wore ender no obligation to adopt the ministerial correspondence rather than the other. Now they have no choice. , There is no opposition correspondence, and lif they were system►tically to reject the MILLI AND BEQUESIS. The will of the Hon.
