THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1861. Church seeks political objects and gains political power, she invariably loses her moral and religious hold upon the nation. In his masterly account of the years immediately succeeding the Resto ration, Lord MACAULAY says, "It is an unques " tionable and most instructive fact that the years " during which the political power of the Anglican " hierarchy was in the zenith, were precisely the " years during which national virtue was at the " lowest point." Bigoted Churchmen and Tories, could they have their way, would restore that state of things ; but temperate and reflective Conservatives may, by helping to settle the Church rate controversy at once, prevent this degradation, and do the Church an incalculable service. But whatever the Conservative members may do under the new circumstances in which the question is placed, the duty of all Liberal members is clear, imperative, and peremptory. Since the leader of the Opposition has chosen to make this a political question, they must deal with it as such. The Conservative party have avowed their intention of opposing the Bill to the utmost for the sake of weakening the Liberal party and harassing the Government. It is for the Government and the Liberal party in the House to meet that challenge by action equally resolute and determined. They must spare no exertion to secure the third reading of the Bill by a decisive majority. ALLEN'S PATENT PORTMANTICAIIB and TRAVELLING SAGO with equate openings.

Maraca 9h. 34 LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 1. Tee result of the debate and division of Thurs day last is not to be mistaken. It was empha tically a great trial of party strength ; and is less correctly definable as a great party battle than as the conclusive and decisive action in a protracted campaign between the two great parties which compete for ascendancy in the councils of the State. It would be mere affectation to say now that the contest is over that the issue never was doubtful, in the estimation of many even of the best informed on both sides. So many per sonal, local, and sectional considerations had come to mingle in the general cur rent of opinion, that for some days before the calmest and shrewdest observers of the ebb and flow of feeling were the lout disposed to speak with confidence as to the precise measure of what was to happen. Gradually, however, the conviction gained ground generally that the hetero geneous combination formed against the existence of the Ministry would fail to accomplish its ob ject. Nobody undertook to say precisely how the event would be determined ; but as days and hours rolled by the confidence of Opposition that they would" be able to hold together all their usual forces grew less sanguine, while physiogno mists in the Ministerial camp began to persuade themselves more and more firmly that they could read in the countenance of their veteran chief an expression which indicated his belief that he was not going to be beaten this time. As reasons for a high bet either way such elements of calcu lation arc, indeed, hardly to be named ; yet nothing is more certain than that they contribute to influence the actual result. Men may not change their opinion or break their word from such considerations ; but in an assembly of six hundred representatives, two-thirds of whom at least have no direct or immediate interest to render their first prepossession inflexible, there will always be a number of waverer' on the ever-recurring previous question—ls it necessary to vote at all 1 Ard ex perience testifies that a larger number of what are called great party divisions are determined by those who do not vote, than by those who do. Looking over the serried ranks of the minority, we see at once the cause of the expectation which was thought to have betrayed itself in the features of the PREMIER, when many of his friends and ad- I berents looked anxious or grave. There is • strong feeling of respect and sympathy among the most independent and least factious of the Tories for Lord l'Autsasroy, which has often stood him in good stead in seasons of emergency, and on which he is not indisposed to depend sometimes more than his Liberal friends could wish. But in the present instance it must be owned that the desire to put aside minor questions, and to act upon the broad and national consideration, whether it would be wise to drive the veteran PREMIER from office in order to make room once more for Lord DERBY, was in accordance with that manly and honest instinct of common sense which, when their passions do not carry them away, is the characteristic of Englishmen to whatever political party they belong. Had the Conservatives as a party voted on Thursday night without defalcations from their acknowledged muster-roll they must have won by a clear majo rity, reinforced as they were on the occasion by a number of Irish Liberals who are ordinarily found amongst their antagonists. It was not to be ex pected that many members of the Carlton Club would be found voting with Ministers ; but some twenty or thirty of them made up their minds to stay away rather than share the responsibility of driving things to a change of Government, or a dissolution. Let it not be supposed, however, that we attri bute the silent and unconcerted formation of this resolve on the part of Conservatives passively to sustain Lord PALMNPUITONN continuance in power to a blind or indiscriminate predilection for the man, or for the policy ho represents. There have been occasions when several of those who refused to harm him the other evening did not hesitate to pursue a different course ; and we venture to aver our strong conviction that had his lordship shown any faltering in his support of Mr. G Lineron s as • colleague during the last month, or any willingness to truckle or temporise on the subject of the Galway Contract during the present week, he would not have had the benefit of the absence of so many honourable opponents, when his fate as a Minister was in their hands. For there is nothing, after all, which in the House of Commons is more keenly appreciated than what may be called moral pluck ; and in the main there are few qualities so useful to • leader of men in any assembly. When ever Lord Psterairros has obeyed the instincts of his better nature in this respect things have come right with him, and it has been chiefly where he has seemed wanting on this score that he has failed. The history of the Conspiracy Bill was a memorable illustration of the latter ; and all the loss of popularity and influence arising from the failure of Government on the subject of Reform may be traced to a similar cause. Had Lord Pstmeattrow shown the same determination last session to carry Laid JOHN RUMELL'a proposal of Reform which he has evinced this session to carry Mr. GLAINITONZ'S proposition to repeal the Paper Duty, he would have succeeded then as he has succeeded now. But week after week was suffered to elapse without any earnest attempt to forward the mea sure; and attacks the most damaging on the motives of those who advocated the measure, and those who were to have been enfranchised by it, were listened to in silence, until at length it came to be believed that the PRIME MINUTE= would thank nobody for lending aid in furtherance of the scheme. Thus did the appearance, if not the reality, of irresolution on the Liberal side render compact and powerful the resources of Opposition. Happily, another course has been pursued this time, and we see fruits of a better and wiser policy in the vote of Thursday night, which not only secures the carrying of the Budget, but the con tinuance in office of the present advisers of the CROWN. THE Church-rate Abolition Bill is to be read a third time on Wednesday next, and it is important that the attention of liberal constituencies through out the country, as well as of their representatives in Parliament, should be fixed on this event in time. The movement against this obnoxious and anomalous impost has now reached the critical point where prompt, vigorous, and combined action may easily ensure success. One more resolute struggle, and the work will be done, so far as the Lower House is concerned ; and if the third reading is carried by a decisive majority, the Peers will probably pause before they again refuse to redress what they have themselves admitted to be a national grievance, by rejecting • remedial measure the Commons have repeatedly passed. Some friends of the Bill may, however, imagine that, the second reading having been carried by a larger number of votes than were ever yet recorded in its favour, no serious resist ance will be offered at the final stage, and the fact that Lord ROBERT MONTAGU is to lead the Oppo sition certainly appears to favour such a supposi tion. There is no doubt a certain dramatic pro priety in the priggish champion of medMvalism, the defender of the divine right of Kings, being chosen to uphold the divine authority of priests, and head a reactionary crusade against civil and religious freedom ; but though the leader may be contemptible, it would be a mistake to suppose that the opposition to the third reading will therefore of necessity be trivial and insignificant. On the contrary, it is known that every effort will be made by the Tories to defeat the Bill, or if this is hopeless, to reduce the li beral majority so as to afford the Lords • decent pretext for rejecting it. It is essential to the credit not only of the Liberal party, but of the House of Commons itself, that this reactionary attempt to resist useful legislation should receive • firm and de cisive rebuke. The House can ill afford to throw away any chances it still has of doing something that may be really serviceable to the country ; and the Abolition Bill is almost the only popular measure, as next to the Budget it is by far the most important measure, Parliament will have to deal with during the present session. If the Church-rate Bill is not passed there will, in fact, be nothing to look back upon, except the amended Bankruptcy Act, which is itself in great peril. And that act, however important, is special and technical rather than popular. It makes improvements in a limited department of legal machinery that will be extremely welcome to • large class, but it can scarcely be said to redress any grievance that affects the nation as a whole. But the Abolition Bill does this. It effectually meets what may be fairly regarded as not only the most irritating and inexcusable, but the moat notorious and ad mitted grievance of our time. The evils attend ' ing the system of Church Rates are not partial or local. They are as universal in their incidence as they are mischievous in their operation. They extend over the whole country, and do or may, in • greater or less degree, affect every parish and every parishioner in the empire. Every year this hateful tax produces strife and discord, stirs up feelings of bitter hostility, and creates social and religious divisions in parishes that would otherwise be at pesos. Every year the local tribunals of justice are vexed with accusations and complaints they cannot entertain, or have to listen to the exposition of wrongs and outrages they are im potent to redress. The rate is, in fact, a reli gious offence, • legal anomaly, and a social nuisance. All this is, and has been for years past, admitted on both sides. Experience has also demonstrated that there is only one way of putting an end to these manifold evils and mischiefs. The only plan is to abolish the rate unconditionally. Neither of the extreme partieswill accept a compromise, and those who are theoretically in favour of an intermediate course have not yet been able to agree upon a plan. Indeed no such plan could be devised in which the evils of the old system would not re appear. Then what is there to oppose the abolition of the rate? What valid objec tion against this course can be urged to counterbalance the enormous advantages that would accrue from it The slight material loss to the Church would be nothing in composition to the social and religious gain to the nation. The amount produced by the rate is a mere bagatelle, and could easily be obtained in other ways. The present system, to adopt the formula used by Mr. WiLPOLE the other day, thus produces a maxi mum of evil for a minimum of good. The wise and thoughtful members of the Church may there fore be fairly asked to wig in putting an end to it in the only way now possible. We venture to appeal to the more temperate and reflective members of the Conservative party to join in this necessary work. We do this all the more confidently from the peculiar position in which the question of Church Rates is now placed. It has during the present session become for the first time a political question. During the recess, Mr. DIBRAEL/ t being reduced to a state of utter political destitution, bethought him self of the Church, and the ecclesias tical questions he had formerly despised, and determined, if possible, to make political capital out of the pro-rate cry which the more extreme and bigoted of the clergy had recently raised. In the utter absence of any other pro gramme, the leader of the Opposition took up this cry, and the country is now invited to restore a DERBY Ministry to power, in order that Church Rates—the greatest practical grievance of the day —may not be abolished. If the true friends of the Establishment are wise, they will not permit Mr. Duntast.t, nor any other needy and unscrupulous politician, to degrade the Church into a mere political instrument. But unless the Church-rata controversy is speedily settled, this will inevitably be the case. Mr. Ditutazu has fastened on the question for his own purposes, and if he is allowed to keep his hold upon it by preventing an early and final settlement, the Church will be dragged through the dirt and mire of political contests, and be reduced to the posi tion of a mere party hack. Before this degradation is effected, before the Church blindly consents to barter her spiritual birthright for a mess of politi cal pottage, we would remind her true friends amongst the Conservative party of one fact which history teaches—that just in proportion as the CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL.

THE ROMAN QUESTION. The Indeprawice Beige, of yesterday, says : " Letters from Turin inform us that the Roman question approaches a solution. An autograph letter of the Emperor, in which it is fully treated, has produced a very good impression in high circles at Turin. King Victor Erumauuel's reply was sent off on the 27th. The conditions of the arrangement between the two courts are not known to us ; but we have reason to believe that they include on the part of Piedmont neither the recognition of the Holy See over the patrimony of St. Peter nor any cession of territory." (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) TURIN, MAT 31. Count Cavour was taken ill yestenlay, and was thrice bled. He is, however, better to-day. The °Pia!

She has been de tained by continuous contrary winds. She left Table Bay on the 25th ult. ; St. Helena, 3llth ; and Ascension, 4th inst. She brings 52 passengers. Trade at the Cape was not brisk, being depressed by the unfavourable intelligence of the prices of wool and wino in England. The prospects for the winter season were dull. At Natal affairs were improving, and much speculation was going on. The mail steamer Cambrian arrived out on the 14th nit. In working her way into port she went on the rocks off Mouille Light, but got off the neat morning without damage. The works of the railway were progressing rapidly. The line will be finished as far as Stellenbosch by the end of June. The building of the Sanatorium . had . been stopped. It wasto be removed to Vancouver a _ Dr. Livingstone, Bishop Mackenzie, and the Her. Mr. Rowley had met, and gone up the Rowooms. River in the Pioneer. - The parliament was to open on the 26th ultimo. Govern ment ITICNIUM would be introduced for promoting irriga tion in the colony, and for the publication of colonial bankers' accounts. It was thought likely that the sepa ration question wodld be diseuworl more reasonably by the thoughtful among its advocates, but that a settlement was not probable this session. Krelra threatening with his large muster of natives was likely to end in smoke. As a counter demonstration, the Governor was concentrating a large force in the direction of the Mabee. In the free state there had been plenty of rain. The pasturage was most luxuriant. Transvaal wax disturbed by some of its unruly citizens. In Basutoland two of Itoshaeh's sons had had a quarrel about the wife of one of them. The husband was deliberately shot by the other. The volunteer movement we. pr"gresmirig ; • grand re view was about to be held. The labour market was dull. THE FRENCH TREATY.—TIIC new tariff on British productions imported into France, so far as regards manu factures, and yarns of flax, hemp, and jute, comes into operation to-day. The date at which the whole of the new tariff comes into force, as fixed in the treaty, is Oct. 1. A soletnn service wan performed on Wednesday in the church of Rueil, near Prria, for the Empress Josephine. Almost all the officers and privates of the let Regiment of the Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard were present. There were likewise a great number of old soldiers in the church wearing the uniform of the First Empire. Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clothilde will leave Paris to-morrow for Toulon to embark ou board the Maim yacht Jerome-Napoleon. Permission has boon granted by the French authorities for the celebration of the Church of England service in the French language at the English church, Rue d'Aguesae►u. Besides the sernce at the English Embassy there are Dow in Paris three places of worship belonging to the Church of Ragland. There aro also two American places of worship, and one eervios connected with the Church of Scotland, one with the Wesleysas, and one with the Independents. The English church in the Rue d'Aguesiseau, which has now been opened two years, is highly appreciated by the English resideota, being attended each Sunday by large congregations. The remaining debt, amounting to about 2,0001., will, it is hoped, be soon liquidated. Advices from Italy state that the harvest this year, the gsthenng of which in Naples and Sicily will commence in the course of a week or two, promises to be of the most favourable character. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (ram ova OWN CORRESPONDINT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The new law on the press presented to the Corps Legislatif yesterday is exceedingly short, the fol lowing being the entire text of it : Art. I. The first paragraph of Art. 32 of the law of 17th Feb., 18.12, is abrogated in what concerns the suppresoion, without further proceeding, of any journal coodemoed twice for offences or contraveotiooa. The second paragraph of the nine article is abrogated. All warnings Oven in virtue of paragraph 3 of the said article lapse two years after their date. The Patrie says it is thought that when the court leaves Fontainebleau, the Emperor will go to Vichy and the Empress to St. Sauveur. The demolition of the Pavilion de Fiore of the Tuileries is to commence to-morrow. It is said that the repairs of the palace will not be finished for two years : tho Emperor will inhabit the Elyse° next winter. The priest of Polish origin (by name Harcsynski), who conducted himself at a funeral at Montmartre in the extraordinary way recounted by K About, got somebody to write to the Opinion. Nationale denying the facts alleged against him. But now, curiously enough, the curd of Montmartre, whose substitute he was on the occasion, repudiates his denial, saying he was prompted to send it by bad advice, and that he has admitted in his presence that, after the condemnation of his conduct by the archbishop, his only proper course was to remain silent. The curd adds that he is ready to perform a mass for the defunct, and begs the family to attend. According to the Gazette de France, the eccentric Marquis de Boissy means to move iu the Senate that the remains of Louis Philippe shall be brought to France for interment, thus returning the compli ment paid by Louis Philippe to the memory of Napoleon I. There is a rich smack of the esprit Francais in this idea. Only that the Marquis de Boissy seldom finds a seconder for his motions, there might be a debate ou it in the Senate, which would greatly chafe M. de Peraigny, whose horror of Orloanism amounts to a monomania. If the matter were to be taken up seriously, the Emperor would be a very likely man to take the wind out of the sails of the promoters, by offering to do the funeral in gorgeous style, and, even by way of making the historic parallel closer, to send Cousin Plon-Plon to England to fetch the coffin. M. About, who has just shown that he knows how "to sing of greatness greatly," would of course be retained to write an accouut of the ceremony for the Moniker. The great appeal case of " Paterson v. Bona parte," which was fixed for June 5, stands over till June 24. Schoolmaster lawyers are as common in France as in England ; the prefect at Bar le Duc Las just sent a communicated note to the journals of his department, depn3csting the propensity of village Dominies to draw deeds, which he says, with infinite delicacy of expression, they are apt to do from "a desire to enlarge the sphere of their usefulness!' There is a strilo among the journeymen printers at Dijon, and two journals of that city have not been able to appear in consequence. The Bourse was firm for the settlement. The Rente closed at 69fr. 35c. and 69fr. 40c., with a rise of be. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. In railways no change. The rhare de la Manche announces that the irou plate frigate Su'feria° will be launched at Lurient ou the 24th June, the anniversary of the battle of that name. The Courrier des Alpes makes the following ob servations on the high price of butchers' meat :—. "We beg to call the attention of the authorities to an important fact. Owing to want of rain, and the consequent scarcity of pasture, the price of live stock has fallen 50 per cent., so that butchers now pay only 46c. or 50c. per kilog. for oxen and cows. They nevertheless continue to sell beef at lfr. 20c, per kilog. Though we always advocate liberty of commerce, we must protest against a system which is opposed to every principle of equity, and must injurious to the interests of the population." It appears that the announcement of the com plete success of the Artesian well at Pasey was somewhat premature. The water has nut con tinued to rise, as was confidently expected ; on the contrary, it has since subsided, so that for the present the object remains uuaccomplished. Still, from the sandy nature of the soil now extracted, the most confident hopes are entertained that the borers are not far from the aquiferous stratum. THE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT OF CAPTALN MACDONALD AT BONN. Further correspondence on this subject has been presented to both Houses of Parliament. We extract the following despatch from Lard John Russell to Lord .8. Loftus, in reply to observations contained in the despatch of Baron Schleinits to Count Bernetorff, of which we have already published a translation : LORD J. ReSAILL TO LORD A. LOlriCs. Foreign-office, May ?2, 10161. My Loral,—l send your lordship herewith, copy of a despatch from Berms f3chleinitz, which wan put into my beak by Count Bernstorff, and which contains observe.- tions upon a speech made by Lord Palmerston in the House of Commons on the case of Captain Macdonald. I have in the first place to remark that as a general rule it is inconvenient and objectionable that the government of ono country should make matters which pars in debate in the parliament of another country the subject of diplo matic representation and correepoodeoce, but her Majesty's government are willing to admit that there may be came in which statements made or opinions expressed by a mini ter of the crown may. if it is thought advantageous tie.do so, be made exceptions to this general rule. Her Majesty's government, therefore, do not complain of the step taken by Baron Schleinitz ou the present mouton, as objection- able in principle. With respect to the contents of that despatch, I have to state that, as it consisted substantially of n reply to and an allialadVall6olo upon the speech of lard Palmerston, it was natural that 1 should consult Lord Pal merston an to the manner in which that despatch should lie dealt with ; and 1 have now to inform you that, if llama Schleindis despot++ hail contained merely a re* newed record of the opinions of the Prussian govern ment on the Macdonald affair, and a ntatement that thew opinions had in no degree been changed by what wee mid in the Howie of Common., on the occasion in question, Lord Palmerston would not have connidered it necessary to prolong by an answer a discussion which oval", well.wisher to a cordial good understanding between the Prussian and British governments must regret, and mutt he desirous of seeing brought to an end ; but as Baron Schleinitz has chosen in one part of his despatch to awes@ Lord Palmerston "of heaping ungro unded re pr oa ches no the government and lawn of Prussia, and in another part "of having put forth reproaches without groin."' or justification against tbu government nod laws of Prussia," he deems it right to state that what he said on the occasion in question was cad advisedly and upon full conviction ; that he deliber.tely abides by all that he then said, arid that be pees notliiii4 in it either to be retracted or to be explained away ; and be is convinced that the opinions which he then expressed ale entirely shared by the great bulk of his fellow-countrymen. Than opinions, however, he would observe, were confined to the conduct of the Promo government nod of their euhordinate officer.; he mid nothing that could justly give offence to the Priisnian nation, with regard to whom he eel/ expressed a regret that they should be liable to Ines widen vest in subordinate and irresponsible agents nowcrs sad sutliorita which, as in the cue of Caption Macdonald, are capable of being used with cruelty and injustice without any overstepping of the strict limits of the law. You will read this despatch to Baron Schleinitx aid give him a cart of it.—l am, Lc., (Signed) J. Iit'SNELL CRYSTAL PATAAClL—Blotblin's first meek taker place to-day at four o'clock.
