Parliament and the country will hear, next week, nearly all that can be said about them. Mr. WALPOLZ and Sir Joan Tag- LAWNY, Sir ARTHUR ELTON, Mr. Ai.cocx, and Mr. Gamma, all manner of Dissenters, and every variety of Churchmen—all have something to say on a subject which involves a very small amount of money, and most therefore involve a great deal of something else. It is perfectly clear that a settle ment of the question is at hand, while yet the opposition of the Lords is a difficulty ahead. The difficulty will be got over. We know that by experience, as well as by the instincts of freedom, and the resolution of free citizens which ultimately determine all suck controversies on wind questions. But the opposi: tion may as well be reduced to natural limits by withdrawing all disturbing Mumma th►t can be got rid at It is imporible to say hew mach of the adverse haling in the Upper Recess,—yes indeed elaewhere,—is generated or kept up by *Dermas% which is as noisy ma it is dirspatable. Again, every advantage is given to this 'gasman when the sp. ponents of Church Rates insist urea sash urging hie own method of nettling the gaseties. As to the ignorance, there are members of both Homes who go on saying, jest as if the emir had never been rebuked, that Church Rates are a is: upon the laud. We are really ashamed to have to advert to this point again ; but it is necessary to do so as long as there ere speeches in Parliament about the shabbienn of men who buy estates charged with Church Rate, and then object to pay It. In remote rural parishes, when the Braintree saes was never heard of, and when the sathorities pay for lights and music, and essidsne, and the sisek's en rims, out of the rates, It may met be very seaprisiag that the Dime:den are seemed of \wise their ebbs under the liability of this charge. es of tither, sad then bytes to maple the payments but thee legis lators abed& stabs and repeat t►e blander h dis graceful. In the rural pariah the sammer Ice may. The Charehwarden admits, if asked, that the Ma keeper pays Ave or ten dams as much Church Rate as the shopkeeper next dear. Every legislator ought to know, net only that it is strictly a personal tax, but that the dada= ea the Bealatree ease ought to have etzusk out of the eisMoversy all that seder of arguments. When it was &dared to be ths law of the land that the rate is to be intuited by a majority in vestry, it became sheer waste of time, sad a dis creditable mar moves to talk fay mere of Chunk Rate as analogous wit► tithes. It lase bad is the nonsense which Nome ormatry gentleness me sot above talkie' is their terra whim, ahead the clergy beta' heft to stares If Omsk Bates are abolierhed. The Doily News the other day published a very strange letter, signed " Muctastre." The writer is a Charehwardea penneally Dos awned in the imposition and levy of Church Rate. Of the 4,000 inhabitants of his parish. 1,200 are Dissenters, pomessing no fewer than seven chapels. He does not say whether the chapels are very small or very empty. They must he the ems or the other. Perhaps we may infer that they see extremely small, from his telling us that the Dis senters ought to be glad to rapport the Church fabric, because they have not provided room for the whole population in their own chapels. For the make of Christianit y, morality, honour, respects. bility, and the presence of the clergyman, the Die. seaters ought to sustain the Church as well as their own chapel., and to rejoice to do so. As the Church seats 1,200 also, the argument will of course tell as well the other way, and this Churchwarden must, if he is consistent, be employing his isflosuce in in ducing the Church-people to sebseribe teas main. tinanos of the seven chapel.. If he were one of 1,200 Protestants in a Ramie Catholic parish be would of course be happy to pay his share towards the support of Catholic worship, se well as to sus tain leis own church. For the Nakao( Christianity, morality, honour, and the pressen at the priest in the pariah, he would rejoice to do so. If We is the way that churchwardens go about talking, we me the mischief of ignorance in high phone. The squire and the parson I (mote the lords sad sow moners who make blundering Matmessits in Church-Rate debate. ; the churohwardees quote the squire and the parson ; and among them they get up a noble rage, which inspires them to worry the Dissenters with rates and summonses, till, some day, the magistrates exceed their jurisdiction, the rate goes to the wall, a consciousner of illegality ewer aloud. the orthodox mind, the Dissenters are more abhorred than ever, on account of their victory, sad yet the church goes out of repair, or at least loess much of the case and grace of the services. All this is very embarrassing—a very great evil—at the cri tical moment when the question must be settled one way or another. It would he a prodigious bleastag if no member ef either House would speak en Church Rates till he had harmed, clearly and indis putably, what they see. Te abolish the mama unsuccessful and vexatious method of raising a small fend for the support of the fabric of churches—pro. riding only far the redemption of all existing pledges of the rate—ie a simple sad direct proposal which the House sanctioned by large majorities lam year. All sound Reformers should unite in making for this till they have got it. It is ant fart Re formers to entangle the plain question with same for teeming Vestries empowered I. maw the existing fabric endowments, aided by volun tary subscription. It seems not improbable, jed::4 by their offers to Lord 'Steer lad year, that the Reformers would comma to some set, method, proposed in committee on their own bill, if all security were taken that Dissenters and other ferments should be actually and permanently re leased frost the payment: but to bring forward the project as a rival plan is not the way to get either carried. This is why we object to see the question complicated by the proposals of Sir ARTHUR HALLAM ELTON, which we print in another column. His resolutions brought forward man independent scheme are calculated to divide attention with Sir JOHN TREL tMNT's Bill, and fritter away the impression of its suocess. A voluntary commutation, such as the Government measure proposes, is a matter for those to consider who have an interest and a conscience in regard to the maintenance of the Church fabrics; end no Dissenter could or would, we suppose, inter his with the establishment of sooh an arrangement if the entire exemption of Dissenters and other mown were secured. A Roforruser would not bring forward such a scheme when the express object was to relieve the objectors to Church Rates from the imenpullory payment of them ; bat he might be willing to let the matter be arranged on Mr. ALcomes principle by the parties concerned. Ix the same way, if the Disinters were fairly and honourably exempted, they would hardly feel called upon to object to the continuance of the present plan in regard to Churchmen. Some Church men, as we know by many petitions, and much action against the existing system, would have a good deal to say against persevering in the method which occerdoes a host of evils in parishes, both town and wally bat it would become a Chnreb man's question, and &wahine to allowed to stand in the way al the velum of the Dissenters. Knowledge on the an hand, and union on the other, might settle tide question with an ease and security which would render past delays really mar vellous. The thing wanted is to raise a small sum, about 300,0001. a-year at most, for sustaining the fabric of churches, without taxing any citizens for the support of a form of religion which they disap prove—which is a clear infringement of religions liberty. Not only is the Church attended by docks who most be ready, as all worshippers are everywhere, to sustain the worship they are attached to, but that Church is in possession of vast property, derived from ages when the whole people held one faith. To obtain the mall necessary income from two such sources as hereditary wealth and voluntary contribution enact be difficult for any other reason than the =willing sees to recognise the existence and extent of Dissent. To obtain this practical recog nition, then, is the peat object.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY MVENINI ff XHIBSTION OF 1881. The Council of the Society of Aria are still work ing energetically through their chairman, C. Went worth Lillie, Eeq., in procuring data upon which to base the proposed Exhibition of 1881. The scheme itself has broad and popular features enough to recommend it to the support of the general public, irrespective of the opportunity it will afford of Dg a graceful oomplimect to the Prince of ales, by asking him to accept the presidency on his attaining his majority. The opposition that has been 'aimed to the proposal is the echo of that old cry, which was heard some few months before the great enterprise of 1861 became an aceomplished tact; sad every argument that wu then brought forward in support of the parent Exhibition, may sow he repeated with addi tional force. The London population of 1881, according to • return obtained from the Re gisturAleneral, will show a partially amumed in. Grease of half a million compared with the London population of 1861. Tnis will give on two millions and nearly nine hundred thousand persons, one half of whom are estimated to be miss, and the other half females. Mr. Charles M. Willich has replied to an applica tion made to him upon the foundation of these figures, requesting his opinion "as to the probable number of young persons who, under certain assump tions, it may be safely presumed will have grown into manhood In the years between 1861 and 1881." The figures ha gives show that one-half of the London male population in 1861 will be between the ogee of 16 and 60, and able to enjoy and to benefit by a renewal of the Exhibition of 1851. He ob serves that one quarter of the London population in 1881 will consist of persons who were too young in 1861 to appreciate the gain to be derived from such industrial displays t and, with reference to the female half of the public', he thinks their attendance as visitors will be found to out-number that of the males. Mr. William Hawes, having also been applied to, has collected, with marsh lobos', a mass of statistics bearing upon exhibitions, visitors, receipts, and population. We find from his statements that the Quinquen nial Industrial and Fine Art Exhibition at Part. has shown a remarkable progress from its origin to the present time. Taking the first, the middle, and the lest exhibitions, for the sales of brevity: in 1789 there were 110 visitors ; in 1897, 1,798; and in 180, 9,799. 'Referring to the annual exhibition of the Royal Agrieniturel Society, at horse, and taking the first, the middle, and the last exhibitions, sA in the former ease : in 1844, at Southampton, there were 2,432 visitors; in 1831, at Windsor, 3,397; and, in 1808, at Cheater, 8,187. These figares prove that each annual exhibition here, end melt quinquennial ow in Paris, attracts mere Ashore and more exhibitors, no matter in what part of the seanhy it may be held. Turning to the facts and figares connected with the Exhibition of 1831, and the mina exhibifione that foliates& it, we find much that will mat& es to infer the pretrable result of the proposed exhibition in 1881. Ice Lorton, with a population of 2,300,000, the deli adadwiooe reached 5,265,429 ; the season ticket 773,768 ; and the receipts respectively, 384,2761. sad 67,6141. Is Perks, with a population of 1,200,000, the visitors reached 4,1/93,576 ; and the receipts, 128,0901. Is Dublin, with • population of 234,000, the daily' admimisee ressiad 634,323 ; the mason ticket a& esiodens, 0016,740; mad the receipts respectively, 28p811. and 1848111. la Clark, with a population of 811,000, the daily admissions reached 74,095 ; the season ticket admis s sad ion*, 64,036 ; and the receipts respectively 2,8741. .6661. Is Hie hues, with a peculation of 173,000, the visitors receded 80,862, and the receipts 3,6321. In Ilsadvistirt, with a population of 340,000, the daily admissions reached 1,053,338 ; the season ticket &assimilate, 283,177 ; and the receipts respectively 60,6061. sad 211,0141. The drat That deduced from these figures is the properties the total number of Triter, bean to the iTiaat the places where the exhibitions were be t te ll se nambal Far London—a little more than two and a half visits to one of papillae= ; for Paris, three and three quarters; for Dalihn nearly four; for Manchester, nearly four ; for Co rk, a little over one • and for Birmuliham, rather lase than oachalf—all to one of populauoc. The visite is pm, selisa bete Meal p?oa, at Paris, Dublin, and MILDAIIOOI4 w.m..y I ended these la Loam If we separate the number, paying one shilling and under from the higher rates, the following result appears I—ln Leedom, they were nearly two to one of population ; in Paris, jest over three and a belt; In Dahlia, just ander two and a quarter ; in Cork, about three quarters; in Birmingham, just under a half; sad is Manchester, nearly two and three quarters—all to erne of population. This &ewe the wide field that is open far peeler receipts, if the people are admitted more freely at lower sates than see shilling each. The lowest rate at Park; wee 4 eons, whisk produced 17,4691. out of 128,0001. sterling; at Dublin, sixpenor, which pro duced 3,3111. out of 29,0001.; at Cork, sixpence, which produced 1,2001. out of 2,6741.; and at Bir mieghans, sixpence, which produced 6911. out of 3,8321. The one shilling admissions in London—the lowest rate—produced upwards of six-tenths of the whole receipts. Although the Exhibition of 1861, looking at the small number of visits compared with population (a little over two and a half to one) was comparatively but a small success ; yet a balance was secured, after paying all expenses, which amounts to 270,0001. The facilities for railway communication have been largely increased since that period; and the passenger traffic, which amounted in 1861 to 86 millions, had reached 140 millions in 1868. In collecting these, and other dein, the council of the Society of Arts have see and as excellent foun dation for this wood great national, peaceful, and industrial este/prime. ~~ Ebc Court.

THE FEDERAL DIET AND THE DANGIIk. OF WAR. HANOVER, TNVUDAT EViNINO. The &mind Chamber has unanimously resolved upon requesting government to obtain from the Federal Diet resolutions calculated by their una nimity and energetic execution to avert the threat ening danger of war, but, if necessary, to repel with united federal power attacks on Austria or Ger many. AUSTRIA AND THB PAPAL STATES. A letter from Vienna of the 20th, in the Augsburg Gazults, says : " The Austrian government has obtained from the Holy See a promise that Cardinal Brunelli shall proceed to Paris to request the French go vernment to state in clear and precise terms the reforms which it wishes to see introduced in the States of the church. As regards the occupation of those States, the Austrian government, as already stated, is ready to withdraw its troops from Bologna and Ancoraa as seen as the French troops shall evacuate Rome and Clefts Vecchia. Bat it will not in any case abandon its right to occupy Ferrara, Commachio, and Placentia, in conformity with treaties. Such is the spirit of a I communication which the imperial government has sent to different courts, and it is the basis of an arrangement which it is desired to bring about between France and Austria."

The following paragraph appears in the Pattie: Lord Cowley's ;vertu re for VitWea hes bees tie 'abject of much discussion both yesterday aid to-day. Public %l akes attaches great importanes to this journey, mid, as we think, rightly so. Without wishing to exaggerate the Its permute, or veutoriog tr antielente the summit of Lord Caw ley'. solosiew, we comet but consider it at Miliciatire of a tentlesey ea the part of the British cabinet ti rally to the policy tithe Tuileries. For our own pert we hem never detailed of this understanding, which responis to all the priaelpies mad all the interests upon which the Inglieh anima b bred. Nothing could be more desirable or mom logical then that this alliance should protect la Italy incl. Hones, the independence of peoples, and to. pesos ti &t -rope, me it hem protreed therm in the Best and throughout the world. I consider this assumption, that Lord Cowley is oommimioned to support the policy which has spread eoesternation in Europe ever since New Year's-day, as as impudent assertion of a known falsehood, destined to deceive members of the English parlia ment on Friday. The instructions sent to the pro vinedel papers are oonceived in a widely different spirit. They are ordered to sneer at Lord Cowley's minims, and to prognosticate that nothing will come of it. Without being in the secrets of diplomacy, I I think it may be safely conjectured that Lord Cowley is essierissioned, not to persuade Austria to abandon her Lombardo-Venetian possessions, which are secured to her by the treaties of 1815, but to relieve herself from the reproach under which she now justly labours, of exercising iofaenos in other parts of Italy, contrary to the spirit of those treaties. She will, I doubt not, be advised to deprive Sardini► and Frame of the pretext for aggression furnished by the opposition of Austria to grievously needed reforms in Rome and Naples. Should this mission be successful, it rosy be productive of infinite good. and may indeed prevent a breach of the pesos; but the latter most desirable consummation can only be effected by the abandonment by the French Emperor of the main object of his pamphlet, and the consequent disappointment of the hopes which he has fomented in Turin and Milan. It is quite plain, that at the present moment neither the Sardinians nor the Milanese can a pin's point about reforms in Rome or Naples. What they want, and what they have been taught to expect, is that Austria should be driven out of Italy altogether. It is very certain that Lord Cowley has not gone to Vienna to threaten the countenance of England to say such selvsne, which, however desirable,coald ouly b. effected by that very war which all the world, except the Italian and a fraction of courtiers at the Tui leries, is agreed to deprecate as a certain calamity, fraught with no rational prospect of good to the ISM of freedom. The following paragraph, in a Marseilles letter of Fab. 21, is perhaps of no importaase, but in the present state of things the question will naturally be asked whether the movement of troops which it notices is merely an isolated one, or whether it is not the first step towards the execution of the rumoured design of sending large reinforcements to Rome: A &Wilmot of the 25th regiment of Os Hoe, wadd ing of 1 officer sad 3do non-cotomteisoel Mem sod eol- diem arrived bare from Arks this mor;isig, ma at 4 in the &Armen embarked a bawd the Binti fur Cid& Vecchia. • ;, 1859. The Indipendortc. and Nord were both seized 01. day ; the Dear News was 'delivered for the first Mme this week. The Bourse was greatly agitated all day, and vio lent duetuations took place. Lord Cowley's mission was the great subject of discussion.
