Tin proceedings of the Traetarian gatherings of Tuesday are only another though a very notable example of the sound reasoning from false premises which has characterised the whole of the unhappy controversy that had its origin, its authors (most of whom are now in the Roman, and one in the Greek church) tell us, in Lord STANLEY'S reform of the established church in Ireland. Grant the principles from which the speakers started, and we can't help travelling with them to their conclusions; or, if we are very enthusiastic, going a little further than the half-way house at which they stop. But their starting point is an iynis fistula, a fanci ful delusion, an airy dream. Their chief premise is that the church now established by law, endowed by law, and of course alterable by law, in England, is, as contradistinguished from other religious organisation, either here or elsewhere, of divine ongin, has a direct and special divine authority, and is to be treated with that reverence and submission which are due to the objects of divine revelation. Throughout the whole of Tuesday's proceeding., the Church of England was spoken of and treated, both as to doctrines and forms, as something scarcely se condary to Holy Scripture. This is the primary error of men, whose zeal, earnestness, and piety are otherwise not to be disparaged. But, having asserted and proclaimed this mystical and authoritative cha racter for the Church of England, they, not at all unnaturally, go further; and, carrying out their theory, they fall into a second error, not so dangerous, per haps, in essence, but in practical operation much more offensive. For they then claim for themselves, who, notoriously, are a minority in the church, to be the only true and lawful exponents of the doctrines and rules of that human institution on which they have bestowed such awful attributes; thus attempting to create in the hearts of this protestant country a papacy, to avoid which the religions organisation now established by law was called it to existence. Grant them these premises, and there is no resist ing their reasoning, no denying the force of their pro test, no dissenting from the request they have made to the archbishops of the two provinces. More than all that ; we must, in assenting thereto, be prepared to give to such a church—so clothed and so speaking— the power of the sword, the right of internal legislation, the authority of external discipline, the means of universal education and compulsory processes of enforcing communion. And this is exactly what the gentlemen who assembled on Tuesday really want, aim at, and are determined to have. Theirs is no vain controversy about words— no idle disputation about doctrinal subtleties—no silly dispute sham forms. But a resolute, sturdy, de termined attempt to regain power. authority, and dominion; to reconquer the mind of the English people; and to extirpate that right of private judg ment, on the exercise of which our g r eat ness is founded. In this attempt, always steadily, sometimes audaciously, butlatterly more cautiously and subtilely pursued, the decision of the GOMM! case was the greatest check they had received. For, if Mr. Giiiutax, holding doctrines which the Privy Coun cil, whilst maintaining his legal rights as presentee of Bampford Speke, would not assert were those proponneted in the Liturgy of the church, might still remain a clergyman of the church—what became of the divine, mystical, and awful attribute of the 1 1 church in which he could remain a minister ? It was to recover the ground lost by this stunning judicial rebuff that Tuesday's gathering of our Church of England papists was held. And, to do them justice, they did not mince matters; they can didly accepted the defeats they had received ; looked the consequences fairly in the face; and, like men in earnest, set about not merely to regain their former position, bet in regaining it, to advance much further. In the first place they threatened the Sovereign. "On this question, " said Mr. lIDDBARD , their chair man, " depended the interests of the crown and of the constitution." Hitherto the law of the land and of the church hu been that the sovereign is supreme temporal head of the Church of England. But this supremacy, it is now asserted by Dr. Pinar, is limited and restricted not by the laws and customs of this realm, but by the practices of the primitive and the medieval church. Henceforward we are not to look into our great legal text writers and the statutes at large for restrictions on the royal prerogative in affairs ecclesiastical; but into the reecripts of the By zantine emperor, and to practices of the earlier Popes. The former are hereafter to have no binding power on thesubject or the church, when op posed to the latter. Such is the theory gravely pro pounded and elaborately explained by Dr. PUSEY in one of the dullest books that ever issued from heavy, ponderous, and obscure Oxford. And this theory runs through all the reasoning of Tuesday's speaker.. Pint, then, they assert a mystical and supuna- Oral chancier for the Church of England ; se condly, they claim to be the only true exponents of the church they have thus awfully clothed; and, thirdly, they demand that Queen Vic-roata, in her connexion with that church, shall be governed and re gulated, not by the law of the realm, bat by the law of Byzantium and Rome, as delive red to her MA ' Win by Dr.PUBIT. They are getting on. In the next place, they want " room and verge enough" to apply these principles. They must have convocation restored, and, says Mr. SEWELL, with • keen sense that its restoration by itself would do little for them, " adapted to present wants;" they must have " synodical functions," whatever they _ere. re stored to the church; they must have " freedom to judge matters of doctrine and discipline." Now all these, in the shape and form thus demanded, are in the Church of England novelties. They may, se we have before remarked, be indispensable to an infallible end necueary to a voluntary church. Bat the whole current of the policy which has connected the church with the state in England is opposed to any such powers. To 'resat them without separating that connexion would be to make the thank la mole. Maatkal affairs, supreme over the state; and so invert THE EXPRESS; THURSDAY the positions occupied sines the Reformation by state and church. While to grant them together with seek &separates would be ?VA din resat me.r rity the olsegy_aad lat berg . of 'ilia c h urc h , trbedesire and dills not#l, of thetaterk 'homage of eh* preposterous pretensions and aarlarnegg i nam b or . dinauon of a eniamity of both clergy a nd What, thee; le to be dose?

Neither was it endorsed by any of the high flying ecolesiaities who spoke. They were pre pared for everything--almast " for brutal murder or sudden death ;" but not for resignation. Arehdea- OM WILBERFORCE lives in the hope that a strong man is coming to help them ; Mr. KENTON whose very same is synonymous with dulness, that lhe spi rit of Owens 111. will yet infuse itself into she mind of Queen Vlcronia ; while Dr. Pussy, with a sniff of Smithfield in his nostrils, trusts that they will soon have " beacon-tires in England, whose rays will spread from monotain-top to mountain -top. * But, amidst all this nonsense and balderdsah, not on e wor d about resignation of benefices came from a parson, whilst the chairman suggested a reason for adherence to the "flesh pots of Egypt" irresistible to the mind ecclesiastical. "If they left their folds grievous wolves might enter in and rend the flocks!' What, make way fur a race of Gotheme P No; never. No one of sense wishes to see these men leave the church : all that is desired is that, remaining therein, they conduct themselves with modera tion, decency, toleration, and charity. The disas trous consequences of the disruption of & great tech mastics' establishment, are .to be seen in Scotland far too clearly, nut to be dreaded in England. They are to be averted at any sacrifice save that of subjection to prisetcraft ; and the break water which protects us from that invasion is the suiremacy of the sovereign over the church. That supremacy is the key-stone of ecclesiastical peace and tranquillity in Englacd. Withdraw it frcm o ur national edifice and society is plunged into a Mael strom of ecclesiastical discord and strife. Two parties there have always been in the church of England, and two parties there still are—nofertu nately as one has gained in wisdom and compre hensiveness, the other has lapsed into supernatural pretension., and is now attempting to give them effect by intolerance. Time, however, will soften their hearts and mitigate their asperities if they are treated with tenderness and respect. And the worst that can be said of them is that " they know not what they do." Tunas is a sad monotony in the virtuous indigna tion of the Times. It has but one note. Like an actor in what is called the " heavy tragedy " line of business, the Times is as emphatic, as mouthing in its denunciation of trifles as of grave offences. Its laboured invective, when compared with its subject matter, not infrequently reminds one of Dr. Joule bON'S sarcastic comparison of the style of a magnilo- quent writer about no hinge to an eighty pounder used to blow open the door of a pig -stye. Even had the opinion of the ATTOBNEY•GZSERAL, on the application to him to sign the information for an injunction against the Exhibition building in Hyde Park been as wrong as it is indu bitably right, the laboured invective of the com ment in yesterday's Times would have been ludicrous but for its dullness. To hold up Sir JOIIX ROMILLY as an unprincipled partisan and a sycophantish cour tier, because he dissents from the views of the Times respecting the eligibility of Hyde-park as the locale of the Exhibition of 18H is sheer absurdity. Could we suspect the ATTURNET-GENAIAL of any treason able intentions against the constitutional rights of the people, we might fancy that he had thrown this temptation in the way of the Times to lead it to ex haust its store of hard words on such a trifle, leaving it none wherewith to visit his serious delinquenov. The pertinacity with which the Times labours to represent the temporary imaginary inconvenience of i:s rearectsble attorney and • le w of his equally captious neighbours as a national grievance, is a melancholy sample of human fatuity. The Times vows that" the comfort and convenience of every Ler.doner are indi rectiy affected" by the erection of the building in Hyde Park. It protests that "private families have nothing for it but to quit dwellings for which they are paying an enormous rent, during the progress of the extlibition." Yet if the writer or prompter of this pathetic diatribe would only enquire at the next door, be would learn that redoubled exertions are making to complete unfinished houses beside him in order that they may be ready to benefit by the tem porary rise of rents. The; projecud Chancery suit is placed on a level with HAMPDEN'S resistance of ship money. The " sufferers " of Knightsbridge and Kensington are represented as at issue with " th 3 government," and only able to resist its unconsti*.utional encroachments by a law plea. The government ! is Mr. COBDEN or is Lord STANLEY a member of the government? for, unless our memory deceives us, both the leader of anti-corn law, and the leader of the pro-corn-law dis sentients lrom ministerial policy are among the com missioners who have fixed upon Ilydo-park as the site of the exhibition building. Sir Jonx Itomn.Lv, we are told, u interposes be tween the sufferers and their natural remedy." There is more truth in this remark than perhaps the writer is aware of. Nothing could mwe tend to soothe the exasperated feelings of a law agent, than to find that out of what annoys him he can make matter for • lengthened and lucrative law plea. It must be in conceivably annoying to see tnis cup of balm for I's lacerated feelings rudely dashed from his lips. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. HAMBURG, JULY 21. Letters from Kiel, July 19, say the departments of war and home affairs hays issued the following noti fication relative to the interdiction of commercial intercourse with Denmark : ' Hostilities towards the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein having again been commenced on the part of Denmark, the order prohibiting traffic between the two countries, which, issued April 7, 1849, was suspended September 4 of the same year, is hereby re establisted.—(SignedAuxsen, }Lucien.— Hid, July 18, 1850. General Willisen's second army report, dated Head Quarters, Schleswig, July 16, run u follows : The movement of the army oa the 16th has been com pleted according to the announcement of lay former report. The strong intrenchments o f ld sta d t an d Wiedel spang have been occupied by the vanguard, and the whole army was coaeeatratel &hied them on the 18th. A bridge has been thrown over Micuade, and a double line of operatics. thus secured foe the army. Was military views only in question, ties most advaatagemrs movement would be an immediate advance upon Ban, so as to de stroy the enemy's probable strategetio plan. It appears, however, more conformable to the desires of the govern ment for a peac eable solution of existi ng differences to sur render this mi litary advantage. Tee military measures u yet takes by the duchies cannot be regarded as an eg gresgon. Only a small portion of the land, to which we have a good title, has been occupied, and if the enemy is honourably disposed to make proposals of reconciliation, nothing has been dose which can be sada a reason for re fraining to take such a step. The great beat is highly un favourable to she movement of the troops. The army nararMallni, in the most satisfactory state of health. W.M. We have letters from our own correspondent at Schleswig, dated the 20th inst. The chief force under General Willisen was then concentrated at and about Idatett. The left wing of the force stretches across the river Treece, which protects the flank from Danish attack southward ; to the east the &Mei arm of the sea prevents the approach of the Danes. Up to the morning of the 20th, the army of the latter was lying between Oversee and Ansackerhols, the contending parties being burly two miles asunder; but the Danes had since moved back to a distance of nine miles. General William will remain on the defensive is disposition he now occupies. Letters from Hamburg, of the 22nd lust., state that the Hessian steamers were occupied in carry ing stores, &c., for the Danish army. A second Hessian squadron was expected from Oronstadt, and Sweden was also to send ships. On the 20th, a Hol stein steamer took a Danish trader, and brought the prise Into Travemunds ; the authorities there would not allow the capture, as the state of Lubeck i s neutra l The steamer was att acked coming out of Travemunde by a Danish faros, but, sooner than 'amender, the asp taia lsnded his men, and blew up his ship. fG, JULY 25, 1850. GERMANY. - • - ; tO I PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Ina' 20. The discoed awistar between the two leading powers of Germaly appears at the present moment likely to °bake.* tbe endow proposals now under consideration at Card. The protectionists, by grasping at too much, have rendered it probable that they will gain nothing. By means of their central office in Frankfort, of their itinerant agents who traverse all Germany, and is many cases through officials in their interest, the protectionists are endea vouring to raise a feeling in favour of duties so high as to oorrespootto those lately proposed by Austria. Tlwy thus are making it impossible for the Prussian Minister of Commerce to carry out a general increase of the import duties. Acrordingly, from opposition to Amen* rather than from principle, that functionary has signified to the extreme protemionists that their proposed measures are inadmissible. The minister, Von der lisydt, in his progress through the Baltic provinces, is everywhere received with addresses criticising hie policy, and it is believed that his return to Berlin will be simultaneous with his retirement from office. The Rhenish states represented at Cassel have ex pressed themselves very strongly upon the conduct of the Prussian cabinent in allowing the commercial 'treaty with Belgium to expire without renewal. The violent a'tackson the iron duties made by the New Prussian Gareth". in a series of articles which have been re-printed here in a pamphlet form, and sold by thousands, have called forth a cloud of petition. against those dutieP, and it is a fact that the minister of commerce himself is inclined to give way on this point. Letters from Dresden state that the Saxon cham bers, both first and second, are constituted and opened. The legal quorum of the latter is 60 mem bers, and the chamber now counts 51. But the chamber is called to frame a new electoral law, and according to the old constitution three fourths of the whole number (57), are neoeseary to psis inch a measure. The chamber is thus not yet equal to its task. A proposal to limit by law the arbitrary issue of paper mousy within the Union state, is prepared in the College of Princes. The measure is directed against the practice of the small states and companies which issue paper to an extent far beyond ordinmy safety for redemption. We have news by telegraph from Berlin, of the 23rd inst. It stems that, as all the governments of the union have not ratified the Prosso-Danish treaty, the ratifications will not be exchanged. Prussia proposes to nee the full ratifying powers of the central commission. It has already been stated that Austria has re fused the last proposals of Prussia on tte subject of the confederation, and that it will allow the plenum to be tranefonned into a small diet as it were. Herr von Prokeach has, it seems, read a memoir at Berlin, in which Austria row claims all its old rights.

The candidates held the following order : Cambarel de Ley sal obtained 237 votes; Grery, 236; Damon, 214 ; Chambolle 193 ; Bixio, 189 ; Fremy, 138; Delessert,l2B. Ot the candidates of the moderate majority (Chambore, Galion, and Frtmy), only the second had any chance of being elected, while Gravy, a staunch republican, wets record, and Combarel de Leyvel, a member of the tieriparti, first. A fresh ballot will take place to-morrow. The next great move in French politic', as regards the interior, will be an attempt on the part of the new coalition of the extremes of the Cumber to repeal the electoral law of May 31. The power of this alliance has been manifested during the last days in so striking a manner by the composition of the C im mittee of Permanence, that the whole loci' , of mode rates are almost as much alarmed as they were at the elections of De Flotte and Eugene Sue. They are casting about continuolly for same remedy to check the progress of this dangerous alliance, which cam- I plettly paralyses their action and baffles their plans. The tendency of such an obstacle to the course of the moderates is evidently to make them seek a closer alliance with the executive, and the dire affronts offered to the President of the Republic by the selec tion of his marked personal enemies to form the per manent committee, will render him but too glad to meet the men of the Roe Richelieu halfway. The political sagacity and parliamentary decision of M. Ihiers %%ill be tasked to the utmost to put down this new threatening power, which results from the combination of the ultra-legitimists with the Montsgnards. Since the passing of the New Electoral Law, the pointers, as the ultra legitimists are called, have been heard to talk less about an appeal to the people. But on the other hand I it seems the moderates entertain this scheme in pro portion as it is abandoned by the extreme right. It is utterly hopeless to expect that three-fourths of the present Assembly will ever consent to the revision of the constitution in the way proposed by this charter. A new parliamentary campaign would only lead to still more humiliating defects of the government, without advancing one step nearer to a settled state of things, or to the adoption of a uniform policy of administration. The moderates see all this, and there is every reason to believe that they will not fail before the prorogation expires to make their leagued enemies feel the weight of the supreme military power which Begin their hands. The municipal council of Marseilles has resigned, in consequence of the order given by the government that all vessel, arriving from Malta in that port, without any case of death or sickness, shall not be compelled to perform quarantine. A special commis sion of inquiry is to be sent to Marseilles. A decree of the President of the Repubic, dated this day, orders that, as the ground and buildings of the lazuetto at Marseilles are insufficient for the quarantine regulations, the lazaretto and sanitary board shall be transferred, within the shortest possible delay, to the islands of the Frioul. In the Assembly'. sitting to-day the discussion of the budget was resumed amid empty benches. The budget of the interior was voted. Next came that of agriculture and commerce, which was discussed with out a break in the general languor and somnolence which prevailed. The committee on the budget received yesterday a fresh chc:k on a chapter of the budget of public in struction, relative to the retiring pensions of the functionaries of this department. The reduction of 250,000 f. proposed by the committee, was rej ec t e d. A meeting of the Mountain decided in the sitting of the 22nd, that a statement of the operations of the Assembly should be published at the end of this month, and addressed to the electors. MM. Bac, Cheers., Hennequin, Quinet, and Eugene Sue, are charged with this task. Lord Howden readied Bordeaux on the 20tk, on his way to Madrid. The submarine electric telegraph between Francs and England is nearly completed. A grand dinner was given yesterday at the Elysee, at which MM. de Broglie,Montalembert, Dupin,Leon Fauoher, Cnangarnisr,and a great number of other re-1 preuntatives were present. A reception followed in the evening, at which M. Thien was observed to re main long in conversation with the President. It was observed that very few legitimists were present, and those only of the most moderate shade. The party was in fact a demonstration of alliance with the moderates, and the absent members clearly showed that due attention bad been paid by the host of the I Elyse e to the votes on the Comm i tt ee o f P ermanence . You know that M. Creton is in the habit of bring ing forward every six months a motion for removing the ban of exile from the Orleans fau.ily. It is said that on the next occasion on which this motion is introduced the Mountain have agreed to cote for it, in the hope of still further lowering the crest of the President, and deriving profit to the republic from the multiplication ofsonfiesting ambitions. But the chief object of the motion is to bring forward Joined's as a candidate for the p res id enc y la 1882. PARIS, Jett' 94. Per Var notuant. Money. tlpaning Highest.

An occasional correspondent from Venice remarks, under date of the 19th, that since the vote of the House of Common, on the foreign policy of the British government, a change of system is visible in that part of the world. The discontinuance of the systematic abuse of LoPri Palmerston in the papers of the government, the dismissal of Haynau, reduction of the army, dismissal of Piombazzi and Leonardi, the odious chief of police, and recall of Schwind, the government commissioner, sent to arrange the loan of 120 millions with the munici pal authorities of the Lombardo-Venetian king dom, are all measures which are regarded with general satisfaction as the first symptoms of a more liberal regime. The reduction of the army has already had a favourable Effect on the money market, and the agio of Trieste has fallen 4 per cent. NAPLES. The roman 31.nit)re of the 17th states, from Naples, that the French fleet sailed from that port on the 13th. ROMAN STATES. ROME, Jute 12. The war cry of the myrmidons of despotism, the chief rallying point of the opponents of liberal institu tions and constitutiocal freedom, have lately been the enormity of Bri.ish claims for indemnity in those countries where oppression and msl-administration have brought on revolutions, counter-revolutions, and the time series of misfortunes and rain which accom pany such political convulsions; nor are the peevish recriminations of these wis,acres as yet checked by the fesrlem vote of the British House of Commons, and its evident resolutiun to uphold the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston. But lest their arguments may ' appear to have some shadow of justice, it becomes necessary to divest them of their showy exterior of false statements and inferences, aid by reducing their garbled acc o unts to s o b er f ac t s , to allow the im partial reader to form a tine opinion of the various cases presented. Amongst the French journals which delight in disguising the present state of Rome, the Unirers has recently distinguished itself by a letter purporting to hive been written from this city, and quoted in the Galiynanis Messenger of the 3rd July, wherein the writer asserts that ttc British consular agent, Mr, Freeborn, ha+ had the audacity to present a claim of 12,0001. to the papal government as ' indemnity for the forced loan to which British sub jects were obliged to contribute by the government of the republic. Setting wide, however, all comment upon the expression audacity, I mat proceed at once to correct the statement of the Unieers earn spondent, by informing him that no contribution at all of a pecuniary nature was ever exacted from foreigners be the republican govrrnment, and that, therefore, Mr. Freeborn's au tacity in demanding indemnity for such contributions, exists only in the writer's heated imagination. The real claims advanced by the British consul, amcunt to rather more than eleven thousand pounds sterling, and are for British property destroyed or confiscated before and during the siege of Rome, as the followicg memorandum will clearly demonstrate : s. d. Major Richard Sybes's villa near the Porta del P.ipol.e, devastated and destroyed during the siege 5,460 0 0 Steam rota mill belonging to M. aws.

Mr. Elutchin sm, chaplain of the Englieh rrotestant Chapel 25 0 0 For a horse belonging to Me. J. Brown, livery stable keeper Total MOSS C 0 Mr. Freeborn has another affair upon his hands just now, another British subject to interfere for, in the person of an lonian, Pasquali Napoleone of Corfu, residing at Viterbo, fifty miles from Rome, whcse holm was searched by the police during his absence at C;vita Vecchia. Some papers having been dis covered at his residence, showing that he was a mem ber of the Freemasons' brotherhood, instructions were forwarded to Civita Vecchia, where l'asqtudi was arrested upon the 18th of April last, allowed to hold no communication with the British rice-consul, and transported first to Velletri and subsequently to the prison, of Frosinone, in which delectable abode he has been kept ever since along with all sorts of thiev,s and cut-throats. It was not until the 4th of this month that ho ineeeeded in forwarding a complaint to Mr. Freeborn, who lost not a moment in sending a note to Cardinal Antonelli demanding his release. I presume Lord Stanley would think he had acted very improperly, as British subjects ought to enjoy (what an enjoyment !) no other protection but that con ferred by the laws of the country they inhabit; and, according to the laws of this country, the penalty due to freemasons is perpetual imprisonment in the dungeons of the inquisition. The Cardinal Secretary of State has not as yet replied to the Consul's note, and it remains to be seen whether the tone of his answer will be at all modified by the majority cbtained by Lord Palmerston in the House of libm none; but it is right to observe that the government of his Holiness has already sought to invalidate a put of the British ministerial defence, with respect to the policy followed in Italy, by formally contradicting Lord l'almerston's statements concerning the mission of Lord Minto, and the word of the Pope is now staked agsinst that of the British premier and his colleagues. The Giortidie di Roma of last night contains in ita official part the following brief but distinct asseveration : "We are authorleed to declare that the Holy Father never invited Lord Minto to repair to Italy."
