The Times retraces the circumstances under which the French trioolor is retiring from Rome, air, pro ceeds to again express the op inion that the ground thns gives up must be occupied b y the Italians, and that the protectorate which Napoleon withholds must devolve on Victor Emmanuel. In the midst of his distress a nd perplexity two points s eem to be clear to the Popc—that he ought not to leave Rome, and that be ought to reconcile himself with Italy. The lavish blessings of the Venetian clergy upon the Italian King—the hastening back of the self-banished bishops, and the recent charge of the Archbishop Paris, are all indications that a compromise with the civil power is at band ; and, left to the mercy of his subjects, Pius IX. may again bid high for their love and applause. What is essential in any concordat between them is that there shall be a free church in a free state. The terms which he must make with the Romans wall lead in all prohability to an acknowledgment on the Pope part of the people's 'a right of eelf-government. Should the Pope be content with the mere nominal presidency of a Roman senate or municipal council, he would only re-establish the con . notion between the church and the city on its original footing. The Daily News thinks it remarkable that the Pope's I resolution in the contingencies before him should still be unknown, and remain for the conjecture of those who find pleasure in compering nearly balanced probabilities. It is i unlikely, however, that by the withdrawal from Home he will expose himself again to the painful expedient of a restoration by a foreign army. Besides, the world has . changed since the day when he left his capital in 1848. His ; throne does not fall no w because of any violent shock, I but from the operation of natural forces, and the wiser prelates of tho Roman church, like the Archbishop of I Paris, are quietly preparing the minds of the people for the Pope's acquiescence in the Negation of the temporal power and his continued residence at Home. Honour may be thought to require that he should defend to the utmost the institution which twenty years ago he was elected to represent, but as a priest he may be expected to accept the will of Providence with at least as much grace as some of the princes of this world have done in his day. His go vernment is twice condemned, for it is bad in itself and it is an obstacle to the accomplishment of the national unity, but this is no reason why the Pope should run sway. His parting address to the officers of the bith French regiment, politically the most injudicious one he ever made, proves that he is greatly irritated, but his words, mall and ungra cious as they are towards the Emperor of the French, do not absolutely preclude an accommodation with the King THE bootmaker CRAMPHORN has been acquitted, after two trials, of the assault on the police with which he was charged, and Dews and Jolty's, the two constables who burst into his house, dragged him into the street, and hammered his head with their truncheons, have been found guilty of using excessive violence. According to the analogy of the reasoning adopted when Horn was found guilty of perjury on the prosecution of PEARCE and DYK—an occurrence from which it was concluded that property would in future be insecure—we ought now to hear that We and limb are no longer safe. Wo do not, however, expect to hear anything of the kind. The wor ship of the naked principle of authority may at times and in peculiar circumstances become a dangerous affectation ; but the real and constant reverence of Englishmen is reserved for law and order, and this case will do good by satisfying both the well and the ill disposed that excess and transgression are punished in our courts without respect of persons, or office, or station. The occurrence of these two police convictions within a fortnight is, however, a serious matter. Assuming that the jury in each case came to a correct con clusion, we must of course be glad that the men have been tried and found guilty ; still it is im possible to regard their conviction with unmixed sat:sfaction. The prospect of having to maintain a series of prosecutions like these in order to keep the exorbitance' of the police in check, would be intolerable. The administration of the force must not be suffered to become a despotism tempered by convictions. We can-tot resign ourselves to re gard a service upon which we depend for security day and night as a necessary evil, against which we are bound to be continually on our guard. The police of the metropolis is the creature of public intelligence, and amenable at any hour its existence to the author of its being. We all recognise its immense value even while we point out its defects. The popula tion of the metropolis has doubled since the late Sir ROBERT (then Mr.) T'szt, instituted the new police, and looking at the state of crime and the relations which the old detectives had established and maintained with the most dangerous classes of criminals, it may not be too much to say that without the police that increase could not have taken place. The public is very sensi ble of the importance of the service rendered by the force, and it has every reason to be so. We are powerfully reminded from time to time that beneath and behind the apparent order and regularity of our outer social life there lurks a barbaric monster only waiting for a favourable moment to spring into ferocious activity and make the fairest fruits of civi lization his prey. While with one hand we sternly repress, with the other we nourish and train up in the greatest and wealthiest city of the world the material of one of the foulest mobs that the sun has ever looked down upon, and which, in its individual members, is constantly keeping up a war upon the honest portions of society. To weaken the efficiency of the army which copes with this enemy, both when we wake and when we sleep, can be the desire of no rational being, and inasmuch as the first and most obvious tendency of convic tions like those of HATES, DAVIS, and JARVIS is towards that result, we can only hope that they will have the effect of rendering further similar proceedings unnecessary. After all, the public must look to the heads of the police administra tion for the correction of those faults which recent criminal proceedings have placed in a strong light. Prosecutions can do no more than call attention to causes which are at work to dete riorate the character of the police; it is for the chiefs of the force to supply the remedy. Foreigners accustomed to the arbitrary strictness of conti nental systems remark with surprise when they come amongst OS the good terms upon which the police and the public live with each other, and the support and recognition which the guardians of the law find in the temper and opinion of the peop'e. This is a great advantage to both parties and one which ought to be prized in Scotland: yard ; it makes the duty of the police lighter, and facilitates its performance, while on the other band it removes obstacles to the execution of of Italy. Osborne. THE QUEEN ' S LATE 'VISIT TO WOLVERHAMPTON. —Yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the Wolverhampton town council, the mayor read a letter which, marked pri vate, he had obtained throu g h Sir C. Grey (the writer) the p e rmission of the Queen to read at that meeting. The letter was dated Windsor Castle, Dec. 1, and after stating that an o ffi cial answer to the address of the corporation would be sent from the Home-office, said, " But her Ma jesty is anxious that you should bear less formally, and as it were more directly from herself, how much she was gratified by the heartiness and cordiality of the reception she met with from every individual of the vast assemblage that yesterday fi lled your streets ; sod how deeply—how very deeply—she was touched by the proof which the day's proceedings afforded of the respect and affection entertained at IVolverbamPton for the memory of her be loved husband. The arrangements for the preser vation of order, and to prevent confusion, were beyond all praise ; but even these would hardly have been sufficient, had you not been s econded by the' excellent disposition of the people them selves. I have also been requested by Princess Christian to say how much she has been gratified by the kindness shown yesterday to herself and Prince Christian, and that she will have much pleasure in wearing the beautiful bracelet presented to her at the station as a remembrance of a most interesting and gratifying day.—Believe me, yours, very faithfully, C. GEST." Sir John Morris then read a letter he had received from Sir Thos. liiddulph, in which the Queen desired thither condolence might be conveyed to the wounded volunteer, and also the expression of her Majesty's intention to settle upon him an annuity of 201., payable quarterly. The announcement was received by great enthusiasm in the council. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE WINDSOR ROYAL INFIRMARY.

Russia is secretly arming to a considerable extent—the fact is undeniable. An incredible activity p revails in her arsenals ; she is converting t he old infantry muskets into needle rites, and filling up the regiments ; in short, she is putting herself in a condition to be prepared for any event next spring. The superior officers believe they will be called upon to enter on a campaign at that period. However, it is only stating the truth to say that up to the present no change has been wade in the cantonments of the Russian army, and that the mili tary force has not been increased in the kingdom of Poland. The Austrian frontier is u bare of Russian troops as in ordinary times. A considerable number of young men, natives of Galicia, who had taken part in the last Polish insurrection, have just passed through Warsaw . They had been sent to Siberia, but the Russian govern ment, at the instance of the cabinet of Vienna, has lately set them at liberty, and they are returning to their homes. , Scarcely half of these young men , it is p erceived with re. 1 Bret, have come back ; the others found their death in Siberia, as much from the journey and the climate as from i the painful labour to which they were subjected. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) EVACUATION OANGEF THE CASTLE OF ST. LO. ROME, Dm. 11. At eight o'clock this morning the French flag upon the Castle of St. Angelo was hauled down and the Pontifical flag hoisted in its stead. The French troops evacuated the Castle. CIVITA VECCHIA, Dec. 10. The 29th Regiment of the French troops has embarked on board the Intrepide for France. An other frigate is expected to-morrow. A FRENCH VIEW OF IRISH POLITICS. The Patrie publishes the following against the English cabinet for its mode of governing Ireland. The writer says : " For some days past the telegrams from Dublin have not varied : Numerous arrests have been made,' or The arrests continue.' And what is still more remarkable is that these telegrams every day find • place in the beat French liberal' journals, without one word of protest or regret being uttered. If they were dated from Madrid, what would Lot the liberals say!! If they came from Florence or from Venice with what amenities would they not inspire the clerical publications against Italy ! But that comes from Dublin, from England, from the country of liberty, as it is called, and it is hardly noticed ! There is in that corner of the world an entire people who does not know if it will have • to-morrow ; there are whole towns occupied by the police ; there are villages which their inhabitants are obliged to desert to make room for the soldiers arriving from England ; and the French liberals' show themselves perfectly calm, they who have, however, the sentiment of the universal family so strongly developed ! The Cretans are to be pitied be cause the Turks demand from them respect for the laws, but the Irish merit no pity from the moment that it is England that arrests and imprisons them, or places a price on their beads. Ah! if ever a Turk should be rash enough to offer a price for the head of an insurgent Candiote ! Ah ! if Marshal Narvaez should distribute to all the Spanish policemen the portrait of General Prim as that of Stephens has been. To this it is said that England is defending herself. In fact she is, but against the evil which she has herself crested and aggravated ; she defends herself against a people to whom Mr. Bright was not far the other day from counselling • general distrust of the authorities and landowners. She is right to defend herself, but Turkey is wrong, the Spanish government is wrong, the Italian government is wrong. The French Liberals' have decided so, and the telegraph from Dublin will continue to say in the midst of general silence, Numerous arrests are being made here.' " The Countess Anna Apponyi, rife Zichy, mother of the Counts Charles and George Apponyi, has just died at Presburg, aged eighty-six. The General Correspondence of Vienna announces that the definitive plan of recruiting the army has been adopted in principle. By an approximate calculation, the effective, in time of peace, will, according to the new system, amount to 850,000 men, and, by addition of the first levy of the landwehr destined to join the colours, 1,100,000. The sec ond lev y , which is to garrison the in terior of the country, will be 200,000 men. The other arrangements, such as the duration of service, the yet of the men belonging to the landwehr, &c., are not yet settled. The Journal de in Vienne, published at Poitiers, has the following :—" The double arrest may be reme m- I b ere d which followed the failure and flight of the head of t h e b a nking-house of Sousigny and Co. One of the aaaig. nees of the bankruptcy being sent to prison with the chief accountant, banged himself the next mominsr. This de plorable affair has now led to another frightful catastrophe.

Lastly, it wou'd be desirable to ascertain what practical recognition is given in the rewards of the service to the display of the valuable qualities of discretion, forbearance, and self-command. It is useless to conceal that on these points public opinion greatly needs to be satisfied. It is, of course, easy for flippant writers to affirm that those who, while sensible of the great utility of the police as a body, are alive to certain of its defects, can be no other than friends of the disorderly classes ; but idle words of this kind will have no weight with those who consider that by its oonstitrtion and attributes the police must necessarily be one of our greatest safeguards, or an agency intolerably oppressive.

You know as well as I that the Tarlatan rock is not far distant. About six years ago I was speaking to a representative of France. I told him to inform the Emperor that St. Augustin, Bishop of Hippo (which now belongs to the French empire), ter rified by the calamities which be foresaw while the bar barians were besieging the city, asked the Lord to be per mitted to die before w i tness i n g them.

Her crew consists of about 20 men, but the captain it is stated haa not yet joined. On the vessel being searched, site was found to be laded with cc•L, Blakely rifled guns, rifles, swords, and about 30 tons of gunpowder, which latter she has received on e board from • barge since her arrival in the Medway. neath her coals there is also concealed a large quantity of shot and shell. The second officer, who was in of the ship, has disappeared since her seizure, and ribs not sines been beard of. She is without papers or documents of any kind, and the account given by the crew, most of whom are Irishmen, is that the vessel has been purchased by the United States of Columbia for • war steamer, and that they were proceeding to South America when they put into this port. The Bolivar is • new iron screw steamer, built by Messrs. Palmer and Co., of Jarrow, and she appears to have sailed from North Shields on Wednes day last. A party of Royal Marines bu been placed on board by Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, and her Majesty's steamer Lizard has taken up her p osition near the sus pected ship, to prevent any communication with her pend ing instructions from the government LAW INTELLIGENCE.

On the west coast of Ireland barometric pressure has de creased slightly and temperature hiss risen, but on our other coasts pressure has increased and temperature has dec li ned. This morning the winds are chiefly northerly and easterly, light to moderate ; and fog is prevalent on the mouth cosst of Eng land. The London magistrates experience a great diffi culty in their attempt to carry out the Industrial Schools Act in the metropolitan districts from the want of certified schools to which children may be sent. The managers of the large ragged and industrial schools in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, York. do., have long since availed themselves of the powers and assistance offered them, and in the last two or three years Bolton, Macclesfield, Exeter, Bath, hc., have followed their example. The number of children under detention in the provinces is now upwards of 2.000. But in the metropolis we have scarcely 150 protestant and 120 catholic children under detention, and only eight protestant and two catholic schools have been certified ; moreover, the managers of these have so mu ch difficulty in getting funds for further extension that they see no prospe ct of an y considerable enlargement of their operations. Dr. Buller, son of the late venerable John Bul ler, Req., of Bassett, near Southampton, has presented to the Hartley Institution, in that town, the chief portion of the valuable library of his father, consisting of nearly 1,000 volumes on history, divinity, and philosophy. Dr. Buller has bad the books handsomely bound, and has at his own expense fitted up a splendid book-case in the reading-room of the institute where the volumes are to be kept. In the half-yearly rep ort of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central Indian Railway there is an analysis of public merchandise carried on the line during the above period, amongst which are 1,055 tons of capes, 4,814 tons of jagree, 7,473 tons of moors, 2,703 tons of ghee, and 159 tons of cudnam. Orders have been issued to fit out the Royal Alfred, ironclad, as • flagship for Sir Rodney Mundy, to replace the Duncan, which is coming home with Sir James Hope. The Royal Alfred carries a very heavy armament. It is announced from Quebec that a large num ber of temporary sheds have been erected in the burnt district, in which many of the people whose houses wet., destroyed by the recent fire will find shelter for the winter. It is also stated that many are emigrating to the United States. The large estates in the county of Sehmalkal den, in Hesse, of which the King of Prussia has lately made a present to the Duke of Coburg-Gotha, in acknowledg ment of his friendly policy, are estimated at 537,0001. The yearly revenue arising from them is 21,7501.
