MAzzINI had given his adhesiost to the national movement in Italy. which had so well prospered in the hands of the ,00stitotiocal party. If any believers in M. MA' Ist regretted that he should prefer the hides pond/nor of his country to a theory, if any lovers at Italy feared that gentleman's help more than his hostility, they may make themselves easy. M. MA/./.INI is true to his antecedents. It is not likely that M. MAzztitt wij lend the sanction of his character to the doings of the men at the head of the national party in Italy, for in his eyes they deserve nothing but reproba. lion. It is u a great teacher that he comes forward, although not only uninvited, but positively denounced and a handoued by old friends, without a following, and not certain even that hashall be understood, to teach I'a roe EsMAAvat. courage and Cavort policy, and to point out to Italy the sate path to success. The hut,, does not understand Italy; but there us one who doss, who "has explored her hidden life," who ours her with an immense and disinterested love." The public men of Italy are " wretched pigmy emus " (-dated existences." They have committed a crime : Italians used to die for their country on the scoff ld with a smile on their face, or throw away their lives from Mantua to Sapri in • hundred defeats. The CAVOCILS, FAIIINIA, and their associates have put an end to the noble spectacle. They have introduced a system of " cowardly teach " log." They said to the sons of Italy—" Wait, restrain " those generous impulses, and submit to discipline. ° They liked—this also Is • charge—regular war better than popular insurrection, and preferred meeting Austria with organised battalions, artillery men, and generals, to leaving all to the initiatory power, the sacred wrath, and holy bo:dnees of the people, which create victory. Worst of all—for this " man of truth," as he describes himself, will con ceal nothing—the stern himself did not want the help of Italy. " You never desired bee aid. Sire, '• will you have her?"—But enough of this. . _ . - - M. Munn', it is seen, is blinded and intoxicated with vanity. Without a party, disowned to an ex tent which provokes him to the calumnious asser tion, that on Italian soil he finds all feeling of a free conscience or a free future dead in Italy; he yet pretends to give away, or rather to sell, the people, and prescribe the policy of their chosen and trusted leader,. And to whom does he presume to offer them ! To the KIN , . who, on the 30th of April, said to Italy, " I have no other ambition than to be the first moldier ] " of Italian independence ;" and who within a month afterwards was hand to hand with the Austrians. The generous maple with whom M. KAZZINI makea free will estimate his resumption as it duerven. If he has explored their bidden life they too have remem bered his public weer. They had fugotteo him on the 30th of May, but they know where Vicroa EutuNtrat was on that bloody day—now in the thick of the fight, now consoling the wounded who bleeped him se they died for Italy. We have no doubt MAzz txt loves Italy as much u he says ; but we can only conclude from his language that he would rather she should perish than be saved any other way but his. He can write grandly of the unity of Italy, but what has he done, what can he ever do, growing as he does more arrogant and seltabsorbed every year, but multip!y her dissensions? The pro moters of Italian I. pity are not those who talk most about it, but the men who have actually made Italians of one nind to hail the constitutional sceptre of Vtcroa EmusNtEn—the men who have freed Lombardy, Romagna, Modena, Parma, and Tuscany from the common enemy. When M. Mv/Atxt can show in Italy any better monument of his intliteoce than the graves of the •ivt.cus of his schemes. he may aspire to peas judgment on those who have done the work of freedom. 'frit wheat crop of the present year is not turning out quite so we:: ai was expected. In England, as ,ortitag to the best informed authorities, it is about air, below theorem* quantity: and though the grain is variable in quality, in general it is superior to, or at least as good for the miller as, that grown for may years. In France. too, the harvest is said to be below the average. In some part. of Austria it is deficient, in Germany and Denmark very abundant. In the United States aid Canada the wheat crop ii very large. In Wiscoucc they have grown 24,000,000 bushels, and re l ire ooly 4,000,000 for their own consumption. Between August land September 22, 3.12K,2' 04 busheis of wheat, and dour recloned as wheat, had armed at Chicago, the great emporium of the Vest, cia its way to the Eastern ports, against 2,0%0,391 bulb!!! in 1838, and 2,816,502 bushels in 1417, when the supply was very large. Both in Eng.and and Franca the farmers hold large stocks of wheat, and in our five priaeipal grain ports— London, Liverpool, Leith, Hull, and Glasgow—there are uoil.ooo qrs. of wheat more than there were at this time last )(i-. From the:infects we may feel assured that the great whest-coasaming countries, France, England, and the United States, which share a oem moo supply, are amply provided for till the period of next harvest. Should the crops in Southern Russia and is some parts of Aur•ria be deficient, the sources of our supply are now so numerous, while the har vest general.y is tolerably good, that the enbiisteuos of the people on easy terms for a whole year is fully wound. Though this is the natural and necessary roc/equal:CO of exertions dictated by the price of the article or the wants of the public, it le itr:, the I mo satisfactory to rind those extern* as be wi tjhu y rewarded. Everywhere growling rAtriots, its spite of expe coatinna to believe that the prosperity of one tidies is the ruin of another, and continually devise new restrictions, or maintain old ones, to hinder, the growth of any imaginary rival. It is now plain that on the success of French agriculture the pro- sperity and peace of that country and the safety of its Government are dependent. It is by far the most important branch of French industry, and it must be enhanced in the eyes of the nation by sup ply log materials for a large foreign trade. The French Government, too, is enlightened enough to encourage the agriculture of France after its own lashion, and it recommend. the use of agricultural implements to the aboriginal inhabitants of its Africa' dominions. At the same time, from deference to iroornamere and old prejudices, it subjects the agricultural instruments of England, which are superior to those of France, and the iron and coals by which they can be made, to onerous duties. It impedes the agriculture it wishes to encourage. It is abenedly inconaLitent, and knocks down by one hand what it builds up by the other. It still acts from the most vulgar and ignorant prejudices, and will not open its understanding to the conviction that, like charity, free trade is a universal blessing. In the United States there are patriotic writers quite on a level with the ironmuters of France, who like them would levy heavy duties on the produce of oar indietry to promote industry in the States. They still put faith in the principles of the colonial policy el England, after they bare east off her dominion ; and they impose and demand still higher protective duties that the Americana may manufac ture iron and cotton for themselves. Yet with a protecting tariff theft manufactures are continually suffering, this cotton manufacture appears to be de clining, while the cotton and corn of the Muted States, which have no protective duties, can scarcely be pro duced in sufficient quantities to supply the wants of Europe. From the facts noticed of their corn trade an illmesation may be drawn of their policy. In the tatter part of 1867 and through the greater part of 1838 the imports of the States from Europe declined more than one-half. Mainly in consequence of the decline in their imports their exports of grain in 185$ and 1869 were small ; and now the patriot protectionists are full of apprehensions that wheat in the States will fall to half a dollar a bushel. They will again be allowed, they say, to feed Europe at half-price. Bat if restrictive duties had not impeded in the States the consumption of European manufao tures, there would hare been throughout 1868 and the present year more manufacturing industry, and an increased demand for food in Europe. It would have been dearer in France, and both England and France would have been obliged to import from the United States. The price there would have been kept higher ; there would have been a greater consump tion generally, and there would not now have been the least prospect, ea the harvests in Europe are not excessive, that the price of American wheat would sink to half a dollar a bushel. Bat for the Anlirielin tariff the manufacturing industry both of France and England would have been greater than it has actually been, and in their prosperity the United States would have had an ample share. The Ameri can tariff prevents in Europe the sale of American son. With nations as with individuals, one can not prosper by honest industry but others must prosper too. The Rector of St. George's-in-the-East having I closed the Parish Church and confined all the means of public warship to two little private semi popish chapels, accessible only by means of tickets, appears to have settled down in a contented frame of mind. The Bishop of the Diocese had no sooner intimated his readiness to become the arbitrator be. tween the Rector and his parishioners, than the latter submitted their whole case to his decision, and the Rector's letter of September 17 has been hitherto taken to signify a general and unqualified acceptance of his lordship's arbitration. It now ap pears, however, that Mr. KING will only accept the decision of his Bishop on two points, the vestments to be worn by the officiating clergy in church, and the tires at which the lecturer's service in St- Georgs's shall take place. The Rector knows that this limitation will leave many irritating ques:ins open between him and his parish ioners ; he knows that the inhabitants are anxious to have the fine old parish church—their church, not his—open again, and that this cannot be until some adjustment of the existing differences has been made. Yet he persists in refusing to submit the ease to the only arbitration that can be ',thought of. The law supports him in the position he takes up. and he will not give way. 'Twere good he did so much for charity, but 'tie not in the bond. (non Lase NTORT'A oarrrYs.)

Letters on Monday. ITALY. PIEDMONT. (TlOlll OCZ OWN 0011.11.111PONDINT.) TURIN, Oct. 11. The conclusion of pesos, although delayed by accidental causes, may yet be regarded as a fact, and immediately about to be announced. The im portunities with which the Sardinian government is visited from Paris are such that it seems not to be prudent to persevere in any longer resistance to them. There are not wanting some persons who blame this deference on the part of our government, and allege that it has not managed to obtain any important modification of the first article of the pre liminaries of Villafranca. In reality, the frontier line has been left, as I told you, precisely the same as it was marked out by the armistice. As for the debt charged upon Piedmont, Austria has certainly obtained a great deal, though it may seem but little compared with her strange and exorbi. tent demands. At any rate, the present Sardinian government defends itself with this consideration, that King Victor Emmanuel receives Lombardy such as France chooses to hand it over to him, since it is to France that Austria has ceded it. This would not have happened if Count Cavour had not been re moved from the ministry. I believe I am accurately informed when I assert that he would have advised the King not to accept Lombardy except on condi tion that this act should be preceded by the free vote of the population. You may well understand that this fact would have altered the character of the Conferences of Zurich, and would have invested Piedmont with an authority and a right which she dose not at present enjoy. Bat the strategy adopted preparatory to arriving at the Villafrauca prelimi naries of peace was to deprive Count Cavour of power. It is, perhaps, useless to refer to these cir cumstances now, but as they belong to history, I have thought it worth while to mention them. The exemplary quiet and order of Central Italy have been unfortunately and culpably disturbed by the atrocious homicide of Count Anviti. But if the iniquities, the provocations, and the impudence of a wicked instrument of tyranny could diminish the guilt of those who immolate him, without trial and mercilessly, to popular vengeance, this would be the cue. He wu the most shameless and the most odious satellite of all the blackgurdisms of that Caligula in duodecimo, the late Duke of Parma, Carlo 111. Nevertheless, Puma would not now have had to deplore, along with all Italy, the com mission of such a misdeed, but that all organisation of a polite force was lacking, and ever since the horrible times of the late Duke the people have been urged by despair to defend themselves by the agency of the secret societies, and to arm themselves with daggers, to one of which the Duke himself fell a victim. The effects of all this could not disappear in one moment, and the populace of the city could not forget all at once the habit which had been imparted to them of witnessing revolting scenes of violence and torment. Jostle will, however, be done. Yesterday evening the dictator Farini arrived at Parma, in order to make speedier and more ener getic arrangements. France might therefore have abst►ined from passing such a bitter though indirect censure on the government of Parma as she did by publishing in Ler semi-official journals an announce ment that if the crime were not promptly punished, her epresentative, Cavaliers Paltrinieri, had orders to withdraw. I cannot tell you how cinch public opinion has been agitated by the sad event at Parma, and, in general, by the inactivity of which the pre sent ministry are accused with respect to Central Italy. If I am to judge from the signs which seem to me perceptible, some course will quickly be decided upon; and the Sardinian troops would already have entered Parma, it Commendatore Rat tarsi had been present at the last cabinet council, but he has been confined to his bed for several days by indisposition. The times are becoming difficult, and it is to be hoped that the courage which they require will not be wanting. The clergy here be have quietly so far, though the circular lettere des patched from Rome to the bishops throughout Europe command them to get up a general lee4e de boueliers, and you have doubtless read the curious pastorals and protests of many of the French bishops. The greatest impression has been produced here by the publication of Monseigneur Dupanloup, who, as a Savoyard, is a born subject of King Victor Em manuel's, yet speaks of him in the most irreverent manner parable. The Piedmontese and other Italians read his letter oat of mere curiosity, then fold up the paper, and shrug their shoulders. We shall ass whether it will be received with the same good sense in France. A. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Cram' Ora owN PARIS, FIIDAI EVENING. The Pays announces that the court will stay at St. Cloud till November 1, and will then go to Com piegne. It confirms, by way of an on dit, the state ment repeatedly made by foreign journals, but hitherto greatly doubted, that the Emperor of Aus tria will come to Compi4ne in November. The same journal thinks it necessary to reproduce, "under all reserve," the news telegraphed from Lando' that Prince Napoleon is expected there. Notwithstanding this mystery, I can state with cer tainty that unless say very sudden change of pur pose has taken place the prince will certainly go. M. Orandguillot has an article in theConstitution eel, the leading object of which appears to be to allay the fears of those Roman catholic* who think it would be a very shocking thing for the Pope to submit his cave to a congress in which heretical and schismatical powers such as England, Prussia, and Russia would take a leading part. The writer observes, with much point, that in 1816 the Holy See appealed to those very powers against Austria, and that it had no reason to be dissatisfied with their decision. But, while recommending the Pope not to shrink from the jurisdiction of a congress, he proceeds to urge the necessity of one upon the other powers in a tone of persuasion scarcely consistent with the announcement, in a separate paragraph in the same number of the Constitutions's!, that they all have already consented to join in a congress. " Prussia, .England, and Russia," says M. Grandguillot, " must all desire that the supreme head of a church which numbers two hundred mil lions of disciples should preserve its independence in all its integrity, and should not bring to any one , catholic power in particular the formidable aid of its influence and prestige." This is an argument well worth taking a note of, but at the same time I appre hend it to be one which few Roman catholic. would openly adopt. It is taking very low ground for the papacy, whose kingdom is professedly not of this world, to say to nonconformist sovereigns, " Take care ; if you allow my present limited temporal domi nions to be taken away from me, in whole or in part, I will plan my spiritual influence at the ser vice of a catholic monarch, and I will aid his armies by exciting your subjects to rise in rebellion against Jon." There is not mach religion in such a threat as this. The menace is, however, one which the powers alluded to would, if the rem were to arise, listen to without any great alum. The number of professing Roman catholic* is the world is no doubt very great, but the propor tion of those who would be ready to turn traitor to their own country at the bidding of a foreign potentate is infinitesimally small. The very success of the church of late years in imposing new dogmas and commanding faith in new miracles is a pregnant argument to show that its power is mainly confined to such matters. If it really felt able to struggle with the civil power, it would not so frequently resort to devices which only meet with impunity because they operate upon the credulous simply in such a way as not to come into col lision with their duties as citizens. M. Grandguillot, however, speaking in a " Sue frenzy," seems to think that the power of the Pope as lieutenant to any bellicose sovereign to whom he might offer his ser vices would be something very terrible indeed, for he says " Let the powers look to it ; on the day when such a revolution should be effected the dream of a universal monarchy would be realised, and there would be an end to the independence of the world !" I do not think M. Grandgnillot is in this instance the faithful interpreter of the ides, of the Emperor. The Emperor probably wants a congress, and may hope to conciliate his Roman catholic subjects by playing a part in it as the advocate of the Pope, whom he would regard as his " client," in the old Roman sense of a person under his protection, but I cannot think he shares M. Grandguillot's opinion, that if the Pope were to be driven out of Rome he would enable the power, with whom he might take refuge, to subjugate the world. It is said to-night that a congress will certainly take place, but I still doubt much whether the con ditions upon which it is to meet are agreed upon. As far as the question of the papacy is concerned, it would be most imprudent for England to be a party to any guarantees whatever for the future. It may well be doubted whether there be wisdom enough in all the world at this present time to frame a constitution for the temporal dominions of the Pope. The maxim that Constitutions grow and are nut made," is very applicable to the present state of Italy. To any arrangement calculated to sanction accomplished facts, and to remove obvious present difficulties, England may well be a party, but to set out metes and bounds u a barrier to the further development of Italian unity would assuredly be to lay the seeds of future wars.

At Milan, scandal is busy with an allot which bre something of the ludicrous. A nobleman of some wealth —who had contrected marriage by civil contract before the legal authorities—found it expedient to disown the tie after a while, in order to connect himself with a Milanese lady of great personal attractions.
