LORD &TANURY ON THE OTHII CHURCH SYSTEM.— At the meeting of the Liverpool and Hi:km:hart Open Church Association, on Thursday, a letter was read from Lord Stanley, declaim' to take the chair at the meeting. His lordship says :—" My opinion en the principle which it is sought to advocate is not sufficiently decided to justify me in giving public support to your movement. I fully agree in the propriety of supplying in all churches, whe ther old or tow, ample acoon,modation for those who can not afford to pay for seats ; but lam not, es at present advised, prepared to support the entire abolition of pew rents, which in poorly endowed churches are the principal reliance of the minister. Experience only can show whether it is possible to rely, in the plum of these, on a system of weekly collection , which I uoilentand to be the substitute you desire to see adopted. Without further MACS of judging for myself on this point Ism unwilling to take put in this controversy, which I still watch with interest." PROPORED EXHIBITION Or PORTRAIT TIMM—The Louis of theCominittes of Conseil on Educa tion propose to open at South Kensington in June next as complete an exhibition as possible of the works of the miniature painters of the present and the three previous oenturies, both in this and in other countries. Their lord• ships have determined to invite a number of noblemen and gentlemen, coonoisseurs in the art of miniature paint ing, to act as a committee in order to assist in the formation o f the exhibition, arid it is hoped that possessors of Weis. tun worthy of note, either on socoant of the person re presented, or of the artist by whom the portraits were executed, will by their contributions give as mach com pleteness as possible to the proposed exhibition, which, both from an historical and an artistic point of view, will be one of very great interest.

Davis has written a letter accepting Mr. Seddon 's 4 resignation, tendered in consequence of the action of the Virginia members of the legislature. Davis denies the right of the legislature to control the continuance in office of the officers of the executive department, whose choice the constitution has vested in the President. The Richmond Examiner severely criticises Davis's letter, and says that the remark mendatiou of the legislature deserved a better answer. Lincoln has sent Senator Morgan's name to the Senate for Secretary of the Treasury, but the nomi nation was afterwards withdrawn, Senator Morgan refusing the position. Mr. Macculloch, comptroller of the currency, is spoken of as Mr. Fessenden's successor. Mr. Fessenden Las submitted to the Committee of Ways and Means a financial plan for the next fiscal year. It provides for the issue of a lean of 600,000,000 dole. in such form of bonds and such rates of interest, not exceeding 6 per cent., as may seem most advisable to the secretary. The total public debt on Feb. 1 is othislly announced at 2,000,153,000,000 dole. ; the total interest is 93,130,000 dole. The South has peered the amendment making the paper duty 15 per cent. Duncan Kanner, chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in the Confederate Congress, has left for Europe. _ _ _ The subscription to the 7-30 loan last week amounted to 9,900,000 dole. Minnesota and Kansas have ratified the consti tutional amendment, making now lb states who have adopted it. . . The people of West Tennessee have petitioned Lincoln against the interfere's," of the military authorities with the civil courts taxation and the draft, except according to the United States laws. The petition also requests the President, as soon as Tennessee has ratified the constitutional amend- merit made by the Tennessee Convention, to de clare Tennessee to be no longer in a state of insur rection. The Missouri Convention has endorsed Lincoln's action at the peace conferenos, and resolved to support the government until peace is established on the basis of Lincoln's note to Mr. Seward. Fernando Wood has made a speech at New York, in which he said that the South would never submit to coercion. Peaceful negotiations, con ducted in a proper spirit, might restore the Union. He would never submit, under any circumstances, to disunion. He favoured the Monroe doctrine, and assistance to Ireland. Archbishop M'Closkey has delivered a lecture at New York in defence of the Pope and the En cyclical letter. He said that the outcry of its oppo nents prove they hold the errors it condemns. The Jews in New York have presented a petitioa to Congress against the proposed amendment to the constitution recognising the Divinity of Christ. A coloured minister preached in the House of Representatives on Sunday, at the invitation of the chaplain. A conri-martial has convicted Captain Beall of piracy on Lake Erie. He has been ordered by General Dix to be hung on Saturday. The Senate has palsied a bill authorising a con tract with any company who will agree for the lowest price to establish a line of steamers to make 12 round trips a year between San Francisco and China. The Congressional Committee have proposed Corondolet Mound City for a naval depot in the Western Waters. The bounties for volunteers have been raised in New York. The Danish Minister at Washington has denied the report sent by the American Consul in London, that the Danish government had sold the Bordeaux ram to the Confederates. The Paris correspondent of the Herald writes that two Bordeaux rams, sold by the Danish go vernment to Confederates, were about leaving the French coast to attack New York city. The Herald urges the government to prepare for their reception, and seize the Danish West Indian pos sessions as an indemnification for their being fitted out under the Danish flag. Advice' from Vancouver's Island and British Columbia state they are still discussing the project of union, but the latter will not consent unless the former abandons the free-trade policy to which Victoria desires to adhere. The Golden Age sailed from San Francisco on the 12th for Panama with over a million of specie, of which over 400,000 dole. were for New York. A Mexican correspondent, writing on the 15th ult., states that the Mexican government refused Owin's colonisation scheme, fearing that the esta blishment of a colony of Confederates might lead to trouble.

AMERICA. (isterzies 111/01•34 ) ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. (Vi► Rooluis Pond.) NEW YOILY, Pa. 14, Eviarnia. The following are the latest particulars that have been received relative to Sherman's movements : After crossing the Whippy swamp the left wing, under Slocum, supported on the extreme left by Kilpatrick's cavalry, advanced towards the South Carolina railroad, of which Branchville is the junction. On the following day the Federal in fantry seized Macbride's Bridge, across the Big Sallkehatehie, and, after a successful engage ment with Hardee'a troops, captured Braxton Bridge, crossing the north fork of the same river. Simultaneously the Federal cavalry ad vanced along the Augusta-road, then making a diversion to the right occupied Blearing) and the midway station between Branchville and Augusta. ♦ mo►ement beyond Blackville by Kilpatrick woe repulsed by Debrell's Tennessee brigade. From Braxton Bridge Slocum advanced towards Walker and Edisto bridges, smogs the Edisto River, which the Confederates abandoned and burnt. Slocum is four miles and a half from Branchville, which is invested on the west and south. The Federal centre, composed of the army of the Tennessee, under Howard, after crossing the Oombahee, detached itself from the right wing, and marched in a direct line for Branchville by Bell's Cross roads. The Confederates under Maclaws made an ineffectual effort to arrest Howard's progress. The Richmond Despatch of Saturday says that if Sherman succeeds in forcing the passage of the Edisto above and belaw Branchville, he will keep the railroad running thence to Columbia and Charles ton, compelling the Confederates to evacuate Branchville, which they will most probably do if unable to prevent Sherman's passage of the Edisto. The progress of Sherman's right under Foster, which is operating against Charleston, is said to be slow, as, in view of the capture of Branchville, pro bably involving its evacuation, an immediate attack on the fortifications of Charleston is not intended. In the meanwhile active preparations for defence continue to be made at Charleston. Richmond papers state that Grant still holds his position at Hatcher's Run ; his lines, therefore, are extended, but not advanced. They represent Monday's engagement as very severe. The ground was fought over four times, in consequence of each aide receiving snooessive reinforcement'. The Con federate loss on Monday was 500 ; that of the Federal' from 1,500 to 2,000. General Forrest's wound is not mortal. Grant is fortifying a new position. I The World says Grant has added three miles to his line of works, but as far from the south side as ever. It regards Hatcher's Run as another fruit less slaughter. The Tribune says that Grant's activity, his close approach to the south side railroad, and the ex tension of his lines westward, will prevent Les re inforciag Beauregard. Dashers report that Les was removing his artil . _ lery to the north side of the James in front of the Federal works. The Herald concludes therefrom that Lee is preparing to evacuate Richmond. Grant left Washington on Saturday for City Point. His visit is believed to be connected with important military movements. He held consul tations with the President and Secretary-at-War. Schofield has assumed the command of the forces before Wilmington, in virtue of his appointment of commander of the new department of North Caro lina. It was expected that Terry would command a corps under Schofield. The World says that a movement near Wilming ton, in co-operation with Sherman's campaign, will shortly be heard of which may have an important bearing in the war. Thomas's troops were embarkiog on board transports at Eastport on the 3rd, and everything indicated a movement of his whole army down the Mississippi. The Federal,' have evacuated Panaceala, Florida. The gunboats remain off the coast. Officers arrived at Washington, from before Mobile, confirm the reported evacuation of the city, which would probably be surrendered when demanded. The cotton is all removed to the interior. The Federal fleet was expected to reach the city on March 1. The Confederates have captured and burned two Federal supply steamers ou the Arkansas river. The Confederate General Winder is dead. Peace resolutions have been introduced in the House of Representatives requesting the President to use means to bring about peace by the restora tion of the union upon the basis of the constitution and laws, with a guarantee to the South of the pro tection of their rights. These resolutions were de feated by 73 against 43 votes. Mr. Hunter has made a speech at a war meeting in Richmond. Be said strong governments had always made it a part of their duty and wisdom to extend liberal terms to those who bad been in armed opposition in order to reconcile them to their sway and make them contented subjects. Mr. Lincoln did nothing to soothe the reluctance or mi tigate the severities of submission. It was impossible that he could suppose peace to be attainable on his terms with the fore. the Confederates have in the field. Secretary Benjamin said all cotton, tobacco, and provisions must be given to support the Southern cause. Every negro willing should be allowed to go and fight and receive freedom. There were not enough ablebodied white men in the country. The Herald asserts that the Confederate Com . missioners proposed to Mr. Linoolu at the late conference the union of the Northern and Southern armies for the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Stephens has left Richmond for Georgia. A resolution has been introduced in the Confe derate Rouse of Representatives directing the Pre sident to ask and accept from the owners of slaves the services of such negro.e as be may deem ex pedient during the war to perform military ser vice. Nothing in this act shall authorise any change in the relation of slaves to their owners as property, except by the consent of the states where they reside or by the law of those states. The house refused to reject or postpone the considera tion of the bill, and indefinitively referred it to a select committee of one member from each state. - The Richmond Whip amnia that General Forrest is in favour of arming 200,000 negroen A correspondent of the Southern papers asserts that Lee has informed a member of Congress that the only thing to fear was causeless despondency among the people.

Si It is stated that the Prussian note, which arrived here yesterday, rejects the proposal of Austria provisionally to transfer the government of the Duchies to the Duke of Augustenburg until the solution of the succession question. Prussia must make the ultimate form of government in the Duchies dependent upon certain conditions, and must also receive sufficient compensation. In conclusion, the note enumerates five points upon which it is essential for Austri► and Prussia to agree before a final solution can be arrived at. These points would not be contrary to the interests of Austria, and would advance the general interests of Germany. ITALY. TURIN, Fan. 26.

The Turin papers contain full accounts of King Victor Emmanuel's return to Turin on the 23rd inst. His Majesty arrived at the railway station at • quarter past two, the two princes, and • large number of persons, including the municipal body, being in waiting to receive him. The King was in private dress. After having saluted the two princes be shook bands very warmly with the Mayor of Turin, the Marquis Ron, and then en tered the station, where he was welcomed with much enthusiasm by the privileged persons who had obtained admission. The King at once stepped into his carriage, and was lustily cheered by the assembled crowds. All the houses in the neigh bourhood were decked with flags, and the entire city wore a holiday aspect. The band of the National Guard struck up the royal march, and the carriage started amidst general enthusiasm. His Majesty had Prince Amadeus on his right ; in front of him were Prince Carign•nn and General Della *Room The crowd on all aides was very great ; indeed, it seemed as though the whole po pulation of Turin bad come forth to meet the returning King. The windows, too, and balconies were full of spectators, many of them being ladies in elegant toilettes. Directly the people along the line of route to the paste caught sight of Victor Emmanuel, they cheered him to the echo, all classes alike joining in these demonstrations of loyal affection. The reconcilia tion between the King and the city be had left so suddenly a short time before appeared to be complete. Previous to his Majeety's arrival the municipal council had issued an address to the people of Turin, from which the following are extracts : "Today King Victor Emmanuel gladdens by his presence the palace of his ancestors, and realises the wishes of a population which, on seeing him recently depart, was deeply moved. His prompt return to the city which, during eight centuries, has been the guardian of the crown of Savoy, which has shown itself jealous of preserving in troubled times and at the price of heavy sacrifices, the de poet of liberty, which affectionately extended the hand of welcome to a hundred sister cities, when by the wisdom of the people and the valour of her armies Italy constituted herself as a nation, is a fresh token of his paternal sentiments, an occa sion of public joy, an event which brings with it a sweet consolation to afflicted hearts." We read in a Brumels letter of the 22nd : "It is stated that King Leopold is in covalent eorrespon deuce with France and England upon the subject of the affairs of Mexico. The hostile intentions expressed at Washington with regard to tie Dew empire disturb the King, and he is endeavouring to procure huh guarantees for his son.ie-law Maximilian. It appears that the Empress of Mexico greatly interests hermit in the sdeshiistration and interval policy of the country. Several of our ministers have received from her numberless requite for information respecting the organisation of setabliabinenta of public utility."

The com ments of the merely semi-official prints are too fulsome and too devoid of ideas to be worth notice. M. Paulin Limsyrac, in the Coustitu bonnet, simply represents the Emperor as the greatest of all historians, past, present, and future. The Patric, while admitting that it has only read the preface, undertakes to my that the entire work will be equally " magni ficent." The France says " the utmost latitude will be allowed to journalists in their criticism of the work ;" but upon this officious announcement the Temps observes : This desiaratioa—snyerdeons and in bad taste—is as least ill-Used, sad we should like to know what our great graadebildres will my If by chases these liar shoold seer some wider their eyes.

The Prance and Opinion Nationale enunciate the sound doctrine that by the mere fact of writing a book the sovereign quad hoe becomes a member of the republic of letters, and that it would be to insult him to suppose that his work may not be criticised just as freely as if it were signed Than, Michelet, or Henri Martin. The Emperor has already made several presents of his book. The first copy printed was given to the Empress, and the second to the Imperial Prince, with them words written by his Majesty on the title-page, " A mon file, temoignage de ma vive tendressn.—Napoleon." The copyright in the Russian edition of the "History of Omar" has been assigned by M. Plon for 9601. The translation is entrusted to M. Stassulewitch, a professor of the University of St. Petersburg. A select correspondence, addressed to about a dozen catholic journals, relates the story of a miracle recently performed at Horne by the Pope in person. A great lady, Madame Odes Oalohi, being at the point of death sent to the Pope to beg for his blessing in articulo mortis. Pius IX. went on his knees, and while he was praying the lady got up and dressed herself. She states that in the sleep which preceded her miraculous cure she distinctly saw the Pope approach her bedside, lay ing " Rise up." It is added that she got up so well as to be able to go straight to church and to pay a visit of thanks to the Vatican afterwards. THE LOCK-OUT IN THE IRON TR.ADE.-A GRR4 2' STRUGGLE IMPENDING.
