Tee Bishop of Motional:a and Belem. dis cussed, on Monday, at his triennial visitation, two very dissimilar interests of the Church—the maintenance, in some form or other, of Church hates, and the revision of the Prayer Book. The success of Archdeacon HALE and the Duke of idaitisoitoucti in the last session of Parliament does not altogether assure his lordship as to the future of the first. On the contrary, he is anxious to press on the attention of his reverend brethren the consideration that, unless they consent, both speedily and unanimously, to a liberal concession, the total abolition of Church Rates is only a question of time. The Bishop appears to attri bute this tendency towards what he would consider a disastrous settlement of tho question to the increasing power of Dia. sent as a political engine. Each year, he says, there is a growing desire on the part of members of the House of Commons to get rid, by some means or other, of a very troublesome vote, which must offend a large body of their constituents; and each year the language of statesmen on either aide becomes more hesitating, so that if some compro mise is not made before long, the bill for the un conditional abolition of Church Rates will be passed by the House of Lords, in sheer despair of finding any other solution of a disagreeable and difficult question. It is with these convictions that the Bishop recommends a solution like that put forward by the Lords' Committee on Church Rates last year, according to which persons liable to the rate might be relieved from their liability on making a formal protest year by year. We think if the Bishop had placed himself in a position to take a wider view of the matter, he would have formed a different opinion of the causes of the agitation aga'-uit Church Rates, and would have been able to per ceive that a settlement such as he imagines would prove no settlement at all. Bishop BARINti need not go out of his family for accurate information respecting the political influence which he attributes to Dissenters. There was a time when the leaders of the Liberal party would undertake no subject of general importance without taking pains to ascertain authentically the opinion of representative men among the Dis senters. Thirty years ago the Dissenters bore a vastly larger proportion to the body of th Liberal party than they do now. The rea son hes on the surface. In the good old days, when "Church and King" was, on every orange and purple banner, it was difficult for a man to be a Churchman and not a Tory. It is now different ; liberal principles are the fashion, and the position of Dissenters in the liberal party has been affected thereby as much as that of the Anti-Corn Law was by the conversion of Sir Rosser Past_ They remain in undiminished and even in increased strength the faithful witnesses to the doctrines of civil and religious liberty of which they were the tint confeseors, watching over their development, and insisting from time to time on their faithful application ; but those doctrines have ceased to be their exclusive possession. They have triumphed ; but their victory has been one not of party tactics, but of conviction and reason. Bishop BARINti us therefore unjust to the fair-minded and enlightened men of his own communion when he attributes their indisposition to defend Church Rates to a willingness to yield to clamour what they cannot concede to argument. The Bishop denounces as a scheme of confiscation the Ildl for abolishing Church Rates, which the House of Commons has repeatedly sanctioned ; yet he is ready to grant to the individual what ho defiles to the Legislature. That which would be confiscation if done by the wisdom of Parliament, is to be lawful to the sectarianism, the avarice, or the caprice of the individual. The proposition subverts every notion of law and public obli gation, and on this ground has been op. posed, as it ever must be opposed, by constitu tionalists and jurists of all parties. Nor can we beheve that it is one which will find favour even with those who are prepared to consider it with exclusive reference to Church interests when its practical bearings come to be understood. For, conceive a Church supported not out of its own inherited revenues, but by the payments of those of members who have voluntarily submitted for one year to be chargeable for its maintenance. Its funds are practically a voluntary contribution, and its business is transacted, according to this plan, with closed doors by those, and those only, who have entitled themselves to a voice by their pay ments. Can any one recognise in a Church so sup ported a national institution? In the words of Lord Jourr Rcessu , remarking on Mr. Wstrots's Bill, " You may maintain it, if you will, as a " powerful Church, as a State Church, as a " Church that is diffusing religion and morality " among a vast number of people ; but when you " have said to one person, ' You are to pay for " ' the repairs of the church because you have " the benefit,' and to his next-door neighbour, " You need not pay because you have not the be " nefic you can only maintain it as the strongest " Mot o [ the community.' Dr. Drama ter advocated to the laity of his own that bag - been said by party in the heat long as it was argued that compulsory levy of Church Rates could not be foregone without danger to public interests, it was only implied that when legal pressure was removed Dissenters would probably apply to uses of their own money which is wanted for the amintenance of the Church. But the proposition which Dr. BARINO makes means this—that Churchmen will not stand by their own principles, but will alloy the fabrics in their hands to go to ruin. It implies even something more than this, for it provides a way in which the nominal and unfaithful Churchmen may escape payment, and it reserves a compulsory machinery to be used against the good men and true who stand by their religion. It is very unwise of the Bishop to disparage the voluntary system, for as we see he depends on it, since the Church Rate, in the form to which it would soon be reduced under the plan he favours, would become little more than a cumbrous device for securing regularity and system in the offerings of the faithful. Surely the help of Queen. Lords, and Commons, and the sanction of legal penalties, cannot be requisite to this simple end. HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL AT COBURG. A supplement to the London Graette last evening contains the following : " WHITEHALL, Mum. 26. " The Right Hon. Sir George Cornewall Lewis, Bart., has received a despatch from the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, dated Sept. 25, 6 p.m., announcing that the Queen arrived at Coburg at 6 o'clock that afternoon." ERR !LUZ...4I'IS JOURNEY. Sarr. 94.

The King and the Belgian Royal family accompanied the Queen and Prince to Vervieres. At Aix-la-Chapelle, the Prince Regent of Prussic re ceived her Majesty at the station.

Lord' Howard de Walden, her Majesty's minister at &nasals, travelled in her Majesty's smite from Antwerp to Vervieree, where Lord Bloomfield, her Majesty's minister at Berlin, awaited her Majesty's arrival. Sir Alexander Malet was in attendance from Mayence to Frankfort, to re ceive her Majesty's commands ; and the British consuls at the different towns upon the route paid their respects to her Majesty. At Frankfort the Princess of Prussia, with their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, received her Majesty, and afterwards dined in private with her Majesty, the Prince Comiort, and the Princess Alice. Prince Giorgio of Saxony celled likewise in the evening to pay his respects to the Queen on behalf of the King of :Saxony.

The children of all the church and Wesleyan mid missionary schools, with their banners and music, came out in procession ; and so did • long line of swarthy Kaffir,, me and women, u well-behaved and peaceable as the rest. Ia the park there were triumphal arches and pavilion& erected, where Prince Alfred, with the Governor and the Bishop of Grahamstown, beheld the scene. A young oak was then planted by his Royal Highness, assisted by Mr. Deeper, the curator of the Botanical Garden, the bawd playing the while the National Anthem, and the people cheering lustily. A number of ladies were then presented to his Royal Highness, Sir G. Grey, and General Wynyard. His Royal Highness gracefully acknowledged the courteeke of thou who were presented, "but seemed a little alistmeled during the ceremony." It was now advanced in the day, and the games were the next item in the programme of the fête. But, excepting the throwing of the assegai at • mark by some Kaffir; there was nothing done that could be a novelty to the Prince. The mark was • wide-awake about sixty yards distant. The first }Wilt sent the assepi through the crown of the hat ; the others threw wide of the mark or beyond it. The Prince kept the assegai of the vie tartans Kaffir, and rewarded him for his victory. After this hb Royal Highness retired with his retinue to the refresh ment marquee, conducting Lady Currie thither. About half an hour after the cortige again formed, and the Prises returned to town. In the evening there was a ball, and there were sixteen boys of Grahamstown who insisted on drawing the Prince's carriage, adorned with Chinese lanterns, down High-street, for which service he invited them to the supper-room. On the morrow, August 11, the prince, with the Governer and party, left Grahamstown, and proceeded by Fort Brown and Roonsp to Fort Beaufort, with ranch fun and loyalty all the way. He then went on to Heald Towns, on the frontier, an industrial school and institution founded under Sir 0. Grey's patronage, and under the management of the Wesleyan Missionary Society. The Fingoes who have settled around the mission there, had held a meeting, and made preparations for the occasion, and they came up to Sir George Grey with a grateful address. It was Sunday, and the Prince and Governor having inspected the institu tion, entered the (Wesleyan) chapel, where a native con gregation was assembled. The whole of the staff attended, and the Rev. W. lame,' officiated. The sermon was in the Kaffir language, end the conduct of the coloured people was excellent. It was an interesting sight to see a prince, • child of the greatest monarch in the world, worshipping under the same roof with some 600 or 700 natives. After luncheon the royal party west on to Arm, and thence into British Kaffraris. &ARR!AGE 07 THE LADY ARABELLA SAM VILLE WEST AND 818 ALEXANDER BAN NERMAN.

The Patric alleges that Garibaldi has issued a proclamation in which he asks for 12,000 resolute volunteers to march immediately upon Rome. The Pays endorses this unlikely news, but at the same time adds that it comes through Turin, and may possibly be propagated either by injudicious friends or open enemies of Garibaldi For myself I do not for a moment believe that Garibaldi means to make war upon France. The " sensation news" which the evening journals are now in the habit of publishing by way of latest intelligence, must always be r:oisiv:d with great reserve. Orly the other day they took the trouble of saying that all other journals were wrong in calling the Austrian circular on the subject of the invasion of the Roman states a "protest," but the great article of the Constitutionnet signed Boni`ace saidl m terms yesterday that Austria had "protested." The Patric has propagated in large type at least a dozen of capital pieces of false news within the last fortnight. The Patric in a leading article says that Lord Dufferin's only object in urging FusdPachts to exe cute Ahmed Pacha wait to deprive the French troops of a pretext for marching upon Damascus, but that France will not be thwarted in her projects, and will go through with her work in Syria, what ever happens. This of course mer-is, if it be any thing more than mere bravado, that the Emperor has no intention of being bound by the convention by which he promised to withdraw his troops from Syria within six mouths. The same journal says that Lord Palmerston contrived to get the son of the Emperor of Moro= on board an English yacht, and kept him there until it was too late for him to meet Napoleon 111. at Algiers, and this because the appearance at Algiers of the represen tative of a Court essentially Mahometan would have been understood by the Arabs as an adhesion to French policy in Syria. After this brilliant story the Patrie complains of the " littleness" of English statesmen. The Opinion Nationale has reason to know that a note issued by Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell (I discredit at any rate the double signature) has been despatched to Turin, represent ing very strongly the dangers and inconveniences of an attack against Venice. This note, it is said, invokes an argument not new, namely, that such an enterprise would furnish Austria with an excuse for recovering all the ground which she has lost in Italy, and that Piedmont could no longer reckon upon any assistance from France. The Opinion adds that it knows not upon what grounds the English cabinet thus prejudges the intentions of the French government, but that the public will Boon be able to judge, because a copy of the note is to appear to-morrow in the Times. The Bourse was calm at the opening, but became rather animated towards the close, and the Rente left off with a rise of 20c. and 15c., at 68fr.70c. and SKr. 75c. Mobilier rose lfr. 25c. The Orleans and Lyons railways rose Sir. 75c. each, and Not Jena and Western, 21r. 50e. each. In Eastern and Southern there was no change. The Mandate announces that the storm of the night of the 24th and 25th having destroyed a part of the rifle practice works at Vincennes, the opening of the shooting match is postponed till Oct. 7. I spoke a few days since of the importance of the bold step taken by the prefectoral council of the Bouches-du-Rhone in setting aside the last muni cipal elections for Marseilles. Their judgment, now published at length in the papers, is well worth attention. It seta forth a long list of gross frauds perpetrated by the mayor and his agents, in order to ensure the return of the government candidates. The authorities struck out registered electors by wholesale, and ou the other hand ad mitted great numbers of non-electors, many of whom were strangers to the town, and some of whom were not even Frenchmen, to vote. In many instances the same individual voted over and over again. The pull books were tampered with to conceal the frauds. A president of a section arbi trarily arrested a voter just as he was coming to the poll, and thereby struck terror into the whole district, and the mayor illegally nominated Dr. Bartholi, an influential oppo sition candidate, to the presidency of a sec tion in a small township in the suburbs for the express purpose of getting him out of the way on the day of the election. It was the mum cipality so elected—this beautiful specimen of universal suffrage—which was presented to the Emperor on September 8, by the mayor (M. Lagarde), who had the hardihood to say on the occasion "The municipal council by which I sin now surrounded appears before your Majesty with an authority [meaning a genuine mandate from the people] hitherto unexampled." The electric cable upon which the Emperor had relied for communication with Paris during his tour in Algeria having been unfortunately broken on September 15, people have been at a loss to know by what means he received and transmittal intelligence with the rapidity which it is evident he must have done. The explanation is this—the imperial despatches were sent by an uninterrupted telegraphic wire from Algiers to Oran, and conveyed thence in a few hours by fast steamers to Carthagens, between which city and Paris the telegraph exists. The statement in the Moniteur that the Empress only beard of the death of her sister when she returned to France, is an official fiction. That sad event was known at Algiers a few hours after it occurred, and it was the real reason why the Empress did not go to the ball, although it was thought desirable to instruct the Algiers papers to say only that she had heard cf her sister being seriously ill. A special correspon dent of the Ruttier agency, who was suit to Algiers Ito report the imperial progress, writes that on the morning of the day of the ball the Emperor told the Empress that her sister was in an alarming state, and that the Empress thereupon expressed her determination to start for Paris at once to see her. The Emperor then felt compelled to say that the journey would be useless, as the real fact was that the Duchess of Alba was dead. Notwithstand ing her grief the Empress went through the ceremony of laying the first stone of the Boulevard Eugenie, but she refused to go to the ball, and struck out of the programme the excursion to Blidah, where, it seems, a wonderful orange bower had been prepared 1~ for her reception, and where the people, not being allowed to know the very sufficient reason for the disappointment, were greatly displeased. We read in the Revue Bourguirwne : It is no longer possible to cherish any illusion about the vintage. It will be decidedly bad whatever weather we may have between this and the wine harvest. The con. tinue4 bad weather has done irreparable mischief. In point of quality the wise of 11360 must to a certainty be aa bad as that of any year will•`' memorf. The Courrier de la Champarp a 4 gives quite at dis couraging an account: We are beginning to doubt whether our grapes will be worth gathering. The nights are cold ; there is no sun 4 1 taw daytime, and the grapes not only do not ripen, but scarcely grow. They are hardly bigger than peas, and only here and there one begins to chaste colon-. Since the above paragraphs were written the weather has been worse than ever. From Sunday morning to Tuesday morning it rained in torrents, with scarcely half-an-hour's cessation. Yesterday and to-day it was very cold, and now the clouds show for rain again. In many of the wine districts the grapes are rotting fast. Some few vineyard's in the extreme south seem only to be favoured. SPAIN. MADRID, Szrr. 26. Earl Granville la on the point of starting for Andalusia.

BELGIIIIL The 30th anniversary of the establishment of the national independence of Belgium was celebrated at Brussels on Sunday. As in preceding years, the cannon were fired early in the morning, the public buildings were decorated with flags, the societies of archers, cross-bow men, &c., and also the singing societies, promenaded through the principal streets with music and banners, and after wards competed for prizes ; and there were grand open air concerts, gratuitous theatrical perform ances, illuminations, Arc. ; there was also the open ing of the horticultural exhibition of the Royal Lin nean Society, which was visited by the King and the Duke and Duchess de Brabant. But the grand event of the day was a display of rifle shooting, the first that has taken place there. It carne off in the plain near the Northern Railway station, and was attended by a vast crowd of sp.ctators on foot, in carriages, and on horseback. The Ministers of the Interior and of Public Works (MM. Rogier and Vanderslichten) were present. The firing began at 1 o'clock, preceded by a discharge of artillery, and was not concluded until 0. In addi tion to a number of Belgians, a great many Bava rians English, Swiss and D ut ch took part in the competition. The B avarians were most numerous ; they wore green hats, and had on their breasts several medals won in previous matches. The Dutch were very warmly received ; it was the first time they had publicly " fraternised" with the Belgians on a September festival. The whole of the day's rejoicings passed off with great spirit, notwithstanding the rain fell heavily all the time. AUSTRIA AND rreLy. The Vienna journals publish a rather cursors document, which confirms the information already published relative to the indirect and disguised intervention of Austria in the Roman States. It is a kind of proclamation which M. de Bach, the Austrian Ambassador at Rome, addresatd to the Austrians who enrolled themselves in the papal anny, and in which he exhorted them, in the name of the Emperor, their master, to do their duty, and to justify the expectations of the Austi:an army, whose ranks they have temporarily quitted, in order to nerve the sacred cause of the church. In case of reverse, the foreseeing solicitude of the government would again, the document states, adn•it those battalions of volunteers in their pre sent formation, and with " the officers retaining the'- grade and their rights," into the ranks of the `•nperral army. PROCLAMATION OP GARIBALDI. ITALY SUMMONED TO ARMS. Tho following important proclamation was issued by Garibaldi on the 19th lost. : "THE DICTATOR or ITALT TO THE VOLUNTEERS. " When the idea of country was in Italy the idea of a few, the only course was to conspire and die ; now we fight and conquer. The patriots are at present numerous enough to form armies and give battle to the enemy. But our vic tory is not complete ; Italy is not yet entirely free, and we are still very far from the Alps—our glorious goal. The most precious fruit of these last successes is that we are able to arm ourselves, and to advance. I forid you ready to follow me, and now I call you all to my side. hasten to join the generalamembly of thine troops which must be a nation in arms in order to make Italy fre3 and one, whether it please the mighty of the earth or not. " Gather in the squares of yor - towns, organising your. selves with that popular inst .- let of war wbich wall erable you to attack the enemy ur'tey. " The chiefs of the corps thus foe ned will, before their arrival at Naples, apprise the director of the Ministry of War of their approach, in order that everything which is necessary may be ready. For the corps which woula come here more conveniently by sea proper arrangements will be made. _ _ _ "Italians, the moment is critical Already some of our brothers are fighting the stranger in the heart of Italy. Let us go sod meet them in Rome in order to march thence all togimber upon the territory of Venice. All that is our duty and our right we shall be able to effect if we are strong. Arms, then, and men ; heat., steel, and liberty! " Naples, Sept. 19, 1860." " G. GARIBALDI. NAPLES. A letter from Naples, of the 21st, in the D&bats, says : General attention here is turned to the quarrel wl“.ch Garibaldi appears disposed to • enter into with France at Rome. The Dictator, with his non-diplomatic logic, asks himself, What has France to do in our Italian squabbles ! We have no objection to Pius IX. as Pope ; but as an Italian prince, it is this latter which is our affair. Re would wish to accomplish with his extra-legal forces the work which Piedmont cannot complete with those of a State recognised in Europe and guided by diplomacy. The course of the Dictator in the presort state of attain is not yet determined on. Certainly the daring movement of Count Cavour has greatly interfered with his plans,. but he does mot appear disposed to give up the contest, through love fur Italy. He will, therefore, continue to organise the volunteer forces of Naples, confining himself fur the moment to volunteers only, out of respect to the promise which he gave to the soldiers of the King's army, to allow them to go to their homes, subject to having at a later period recourse to a general conscription, and perhaps to a levy en masse of all young men from 19 to 25, it the attitude of Austria should render such a step necessary. With that revolutionary army be would complete the overthrow of that of Hug Francis 11., and definitely drive that prince out of the kingdom ' • he would then march forwards towards the Piedmo•dare army, would conquer the country which it bad not dared to touch , would unite with it, and the two armies would become one. Then Garibaldi would proclaim the annexation, and his army would be the advanced guard of King Victor Emmanuel, coming to take pociessiou of the provinces of the Two Birdies. This is the embryo of Nribables plan, subject to such changes as circemetanees may render necessary. The Monde, the principal organ of the clerical party, expresses great dissatisfaction at the conduct pursued by Francs relative to the irruption of the Piedmontese troops into the States of the Church. The Pope, the writer declares, has strong reason to affirm that the Roman catholic powers have not done their duty towards him, and to complain that France in particular has not defended the pitrimony of the slouch by force of arms.
