Bivoaz the country could recover front its surprise at Lord Dunes display at the Mandan house, the result of the great party fight has shown how little the arrogant and boastful language of the Tory leader is justified by the position of his party iu the House of Commons. An astronomer who wants to have the credit of managing the stars had better not attempt to divert the course of the comets or postpone the eclipses. If Lord DER/Y had not been about to try to defeat the Government, his pretensions might have been admitted when he affected to uphold Ministers by his good pleasure and for his own pur poems. As it im, his great speech recoils on him self, and only serves to mark the difference be tween inflated assumption and hard reality. The result of the division on Thursday night has, how ever, lessons for Liberals as well as for Tories. The Budget, as a whole, is of a decidedly liberal character. The feature which the Opposition singled out foe their especial hostility, is one dear to the Liber►l party. Yet, as we see, it can be carried. Why I Because the Government iden tified itself thoroughly with its sluices'. It was known that the measure must pees unmoblated in its essential provisions, or that a party defeat must be sustained. And no one can doubt that, by a similar manifestation of decision, the success of other liberal measures, long waited for by the nation, might have been assured. Two hundred and eighty antagonists may seem more than enough of obstruotivea to progress ; but experience abundantly proves that no minority of such dimensions is able to prevent the passing of a really useful measure, about which the Ministers of the day are really in asinest. Turning to the division list of Thursday night, we spa that about an equal number of liberals voted with the Opposition, and of Conservatives voted with the Government. Whether or not it be intended to make another trial of strength on the question of the Paper Duties we know not ; bet nothing of a public nature has occurred to in duce any material change of opinion in the interval that has to elapse before a second division can be taken ; end specific reasons exist for believing that some who voted with the minority two days ago are sot likely to repeat their votes on the next cession ; while some who were absent may be counted on as likely to swell an increased majority. But it is hardly worth while analysing minutely the indi vidual cousiderations that might help to add super numerary strength to the Ministerial prepoode ranee. Its large enough for all good purposes; large enough to seal the fate of the Budget, and to reprieve the many tremblers whose hearts misgave them during tits last ten Lys as to the possible consequence of a doubtful division. Lord Draer's announcement that even if able to snatch a victory in the meant Parliament, ho knew that ho was too weak to form an Administration that could oornmand permanent support, was tantamount to notice of eninevitable dissolution in case Mr. HURAFALeII resolution were carried. This accounts for the leave number of abosatees on the Tory side • and this will account for their absence on Mas day night, should their leaders see the Meseta., of going through the formality of another division. That Mr. Durant and Sir STUMM) Num-acorn would win, if they could, on the paper duties, we quite believe; but we are by no means so sure that other men of mark in the party want to do more than to make a good fight on the pies ton ; and there can be no doubt, after what we have seen, that some twenty or thirty unhappy mutes of conservatism are utterly impene trable to speculative considerations, and are doggedly determined to keep es long as they may the fruits of their borough investments. The public may make up its mind, therefore, to see the lest resolution of the CIiANCZLLOR of the Elea MIQVER aimed by a larger majority than that having re- ference to tea. It is of importance, however, that the friends of his policy should not prematurely come to the conclusion that the fight is was. Masy a great battle has been lost after it was gained ; and if indolence or overvanguineness of temper were to lead some score of Liberal members to neg lect their duty, it is obvious that Toryism might yet be able to thwart the progress of Mr. GLAD- WriuN E'S measures. With ordinary care and ordi nary constancy there need be no uneasiness as to the issue of future divisions. The remission of the duty on tea was decidedly the best card the Opposition bad to play, and we know not that they could have played it with more effect under the circumstances. But the House of Commons having deliberately decided by way of resolution that the import tax 041 tea shall re main at the rate of one shilling and 6vepence in the pound for another year, then is no longer that alternative of remission to set ep as against Paper. The only choice now left is that between the abrogation of the Excise charge on the manu facture of Paper, or uo remission at all of indirect tame. Parliament will hardly hesitate keg as to the decision it ought to come to on such a point. It has greatly remitted • million sterling in the shape of direct taxation. It has refused to remit any portion of Customs duties on an article like tea. Will it tabe Use further step of refusing any reduction of indirect taxes in the shape of Excise, and thereby place itself in the invidious position before the country of having relieved property of a Portion elf its burdens, but refused to lighten those that pram on labour? It.* as we have often said, and as we must still repeat, a Parlia ment intensely retrograde and reactionary at heart ! • but we shall never believe it capable of committing an act so utterly suicidal as that which we have just described until we see the deed perpetrated.

The mails were to leave for London atr 10 a.m. The Elora, with the heavy portion of the mails, was to leave Malta at 6 p.m. on the Ist, and may be expected at Southampton on the 10th mst. The Nepanl, from Mauritius, and the Ottawa, from Bombay, reached Suez on the 23rd and 26th respectively. The Simla, with the London mails of the 20th and 26th February, reached Calcutta on the 4th ApriL screpuloiiimeiss ; bat then. were limits to its action, when it violated public decency and insulted the religion of the state and of the great mass of the people ; then it was for the law to interfere, and the articles of the Pietra Infernale now indicted had been guilty of this offence. He did not come there to argue theological points, or to question the right of individuals to believe se they chose, but to enforce the law and respect for public opinion. The law had declared the Roman catholic religion to be the religion of the state, and it must be respected. I shall not continue a speech which wan marked by great good sense and moderation, and was very eloquent. It was received with continued rou nds of applause, and there were some very affecting moments. The accused was found guilty, and con demned to pay a Sue of 400 ducats, and to be imprisoned three months. EXPECTED ATTACK ON WASHINGTON. ELEVEN WAR VESSELS DESTROYED. QUEENSTOWN, Sainnumy. The Royal Mail steamship Persia, Captain Jud kina, from New York on the 25th April, arrived here at 6.30 a.m. to-day. She brings 182 pawn gess, and diamonds to the value of 20,000 dole. She landed 12 passengers, and all mails except those for Liverpool, and proceeded at 7.10 a.m. All well. The Persia was detained fifteen hours at New York to receive despatches from Washington. NEW YORK (via, Qunnrowai), Ann. 25, 2 a.m. All telegraphic and regular mail communication between New York and Washington is inter rupted. The Corriere Mercantile states that, not so much for his own justification u to initiate Garibaldi into the present policy of the Italian government, Count Cavour placed before him several documents of the highest importance, after reading which Garibaldi declared that he perfectly understood the actual position of the government. Although the reconciliation at the general and the minister took place at the instigation of the Bing, his Majesty was not present at their conference, in order to leave them full liberty of explanation and discus sion. The National Guard have arrived at Waah ington. The latest advices from Washington state that 8,000 secessionists were in the neighbourhood of the city, and that the government had thrown up defences round the principal buildings. An attack was expected. Baltimore is in the hands of the mob, and a reign of terror is said to prevail there. The Gosport Navryard at Norfolk has been burned by United !Mates officers. Eleven war vessels have been destroyed by the Maryland people, and the telegraph wires cut. The chartered steamer Star of the West has been captured by the southern government. Kentucky has declared herself neutral. The following is Garibaldi's reply to an address presented to him the other day by a deputation of students from Pavia : Think your companions for the affection they show ma. Thank them in the name of the country u well u in mine. It is not the lest time that I have expressed the same sentiments to you. We met each other in a glorious time, in 1859, at Wee, and lately on the plains of the South. I shall remember your offers and promises at the wished for hour ; let ns still remain ondstent, and the day of struggle will and us still all united. Exercise yourselves, my young friends, is shooting; but don't neglect the bayonet ;it has done good ssavicie. It is not for as to fix the du of the combat ; let it emu, and ft will find us ready.

I know that I shoul ti be quite at home mond you, but I cannot really comply with your wishes. The municipality of New York have appropri ated one million dollars for the expenses of the volunteers. large bodies of troops are leaving daily for Washington. Warlike preparations on a large scale are making in Texas. The Venetian Central Committee publish the official document which was mentioned in a tele gram a day or two day, and which announces that, in consequence of the failure of the central and provincial congregations to send deputies to the Austrian Diet, the results of certain partial com munal returns should be accepted as final. Upon this proceeding the committee comment thus "The pressure and intrigue of the government having been unavailing to fame the Venetians to name their deputies to the Imperial Austrian Council, it is now wished to proceed officially to such election, whence will necessarily result an Austrian and not a Venetian representation. This interference, as absurd as it is impudent, cuts short all hope of compromise between the Vene tians, persisting in their opposition, and Austria, their illegal oppressor. This document is the full confirmation of the moral defeat which the foreign government has suffered in Venetia." The City of Washington, Niagara, Jura, and Asia have arrived out. Tho Columbia has put into Halifax, short of coals. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Exchange on London is quoted 106 to 106}. Stocks are dull and hoavy.

A Trieste letter has the following : A grave event has just occurred here ;the majorityof the popolatieubsa, cuss again, by its conduct, protested epilog the issig'eatiiin of rifts fideliasiew given to the city by Avethis.

Grandguillot, chief editorof the Constibitionncl, in answer to some observations of this latter, and has summoned that journal by huissier to in sert the communication in eztenso, under pain on refusal of having an action at law commenced. The writer in the Censfitationnel affirms that no obligation whatever exists to render the publi cation imperative, and that a refusal could be justi fied fully ; however, looking at the sacred charier ter of the right rev. prelate, and being above all things desirous of acting in moth a manner as to exclude all suspicion of unfairness, the journal has determined to publish the letter. At the seine time, K Grandguillot prefaces the document with the following observations We have retracted nothing because we had nothing ton. tract We rid, and we repeat it, that the doctrine which allows asmasination to be regarded as a manifestation of the justioe of God—"a justice which has many different ways of striking guilty sovereignties"—is a regicide doc trine. We said, and we repeat it, that the treatise of Juan de Marinas (de rage et regis instil otiose, liGra tree), written after Jacques Clement, and burnt by the executioner on the Place de Grin, after Ravaillac, does nut contain a more =pride= proposition. But have we gone too far? Have we ever 'spawned any envision of the private sad panned intentions of lige the Bishop of Revive*? Have we given it to be under stood that it was with deliberate intention, with calculation, and in the expectation of a speedy remit, that he drew the pompano= between Victor Emmanuel and King Chilperic ? If such had been our idea, we should hays observed the strictest silence ; for the affair no longer regarded us, but the Procureur , General. No, what we have opposed, and what we shall continue to oppose, is the writer and his doctrine ; what we have respected, and what we shall continue to respect, notwithstanding his virulent attacks, is the man and the bishop. Prince Napoleon has arrived at Geneva from Paris, on his way to his estate near Nyon. ITALY. -.-- (now ova on NAPLES, Ann 27. A great event has taken place here this week— an event which, if considered in all its bearings, is one of the most important which has occurred in the wonderful interval which has elapsed since the commencement of the revolution of Southern Italy. The first case of a trial by jury came off on Thurs day last in the Grand Criminal Court of Naples, and constantly as that court has been the scene of illegalities and ferocities, a description of the inci dents which marked the case that was decided on Thursday last will, I am sure, be of great public interest By decree of Garibaldi trial by jury was first ordered to be introduced ; but it was not put in execution. This decree was confirmed by an other sigued by Victor Emmanuel, and now it has been brought into action, at least for cases of libel. From the lists of those who are eligible, 50 persons are chosen every month to serve, and from these again 12, or rather 14 (two being supplementary for exceptional circumstances) are chosen by lot. A majority of seven are required to form a verdict. There were not many people in court when I entered, but all were of the most respectable clans. Gradually the galleries filled, and a pretty bage crowd assembled at last round the benches Of the judges. The jury, having been chosen and called over, took their seats on each side of the President, and the proceedings then began. The President was Signor Tofani, Minister of Police in 1848, and one, I think, of the same ministry of which Poerio formed a part. As to S' or La Francesca, the Attorney-General, of whom I can never speak in too high terms, he was one of the advocates for the defence in the great Cagliari case, which, as you will remember, I reported for you. The great courage which he displayed on that occasion must ever command the respect of all honed men, and it was with the greatest Retie faction that I welcomed as Attorney-Gene ral of the Grand Criminal Court of Naples him whom I had known as an intrepid defender of unfortunate men in time of peril, and afterwards as a sufferer for his courage and his honesty. The President having called the accused and his counsel into court, then addressed the jury on the im portance of the new institution which he said the English called the palladium of their liberties. In rather a long speech he described the difference which existed between the duties of the judge of law and the ju4e of fact, combated the arguments which were urged against the institution, alluding to the example of the English amongst whom it flourished, aud by whom all the d utiee of the high office were performed with so much calmness and dignity, and then expressed his opinion as being unfavour able to our practice which demanded the unanimous agreement of the jurors to constitute a verdict, adding that one man miOt possibly decide a case. " Grand and bnutiful," he said, "is the scene which I am permitted this day to witness, and I can almost say that I have lived long enough to witness line triumph of freedom. Hitherto we have administered justice whilst surrounded by the sbirri of the police, and have spoken and acted under the menace of im prisonment and ruin. We have trembled under the despotism of perjured kings, but now let us be thankful for it, we speak and act our honest con victions under the government of a loyal and up right Prince. Italian citizen% let me urge upon you the wise and moderate exercise of your high privileges, and you ' gentlemen of the jury, prove yourselves worthy of the high account in which you are held, and administer justice with the strictest impartialitq." Whilst speaking the Pre sident was several, tames so overcome by his feelings that he could scarcely proceed. The sensation in court was greater than I have ever witnessed, and alternate tears and rounds of applause, in which the jury joined with the audience, ac companied the conclusion of the President's speech. The jury were then called upon to take the oath, the most material part of which was as follows " I swear before God and man to exercise most scrupulously the admiuistration of justice." The President, standing, presented the formula to each of the jurors, who app roached in succession , and, touching it, said, "I swear." The Attorney- General then, having been called upon by the Pre sident, rose and said, " I accuse A. B. (the grant of the Pietro infernak) of indecent attacks on our holy religion, on good morals, and thereby of offending against the statute." The clerk of the court read over the indictment and the articles of the journal which had given rise to the prosecution, and the Attorney-General opened hie case in a most eloquent speech, and very un-Italian, inasmuch as it was abort. Declaring the sentiments of satisfac tion and gratitude by which he was overwhelmed, be congratulated his fellow-cities= on the triumph of liberty which they that day enjoyed. He drew a powerful contrast between the present and. the past government, under which they had all so cruelly mallard, and exhorted his audience to a moderate and legal enjoyment of their freedom. BELGIIJM. A munificent present has been made to M. Charles Rogier, who was a member of the provi sional government of Belgium in 1830 and 1831, and who has since taken a leading Fart in the public affairs of the country, nipecially in the pro motion of railways. A subscription has been raised sufficient to purchase, reconstruct, and handsomely furnish N. Rogier's house in the Rue Galilie, Brussels ; and on the Ist instant a deputation headed by M. Loos, Burgomaster of Antwerp, pre sented him with the title deeds of the property. WHAT IS THE USE OF THE POPE / (Prom the Peri Prase.) "Muth is the tae of the Popti quoi serf le Pepe I)" Such is the tithe( a et just published by Mosseimmur Chums, the a prothoootary. This pamphlet is very short, and its brevity constitutes its sole merit, for as to the matter, it in impossible to imagine any thing more pointless and insigni fi cant. It is so entire ly devoid of argument or Mustratioe, sod its declamatory phraseology is se commonplace and Saslow, that the elerical t rinale has ad had the sewage to de to it. But al h the performance itself is unreadable mid beneath Siam, the title is It good one—it asks very apropos the cpsestion, " What is the use of the Pope!" Y. Chume been witness that "in legislative assemblis In drawing-rooms, ha cafes, in workshops, at the domestic fireside, in country, and in town, millions of baptised crea tures have been brought to such • pitch that they ask with lamentable hardihood, What ix the use of the Pope, and, more espeoially, of a Pope king!" The state ment is pesfectly true, and we need not observe how signi ficant it is. It proves, and we again quote M. Oanme's words, that the Pope king " has fallen upon an indifference which has become contagious even among Christians. As to what is called the world, the fall of the throne of St. Peter le held by it of leer account than the failure of • merestile house or • fall at the Bourse." Nothing can be more tree than this. Both in the world and out of It, the qessikm what is the we of the Pop! is rrow university asked.; and it is very difficult to find an answer. M. Game, indeed, feels no diEenlty. Of what ass, be asks, is the sun in nature? And then he replies, " As the sun is to nature. so is the Pop to the civihred world. Without the Pope soft wooM has slavery for its basis, Nero for king, aid Ikten for God." With the Pope "woul d smith • everything that prevents pagan crimes and sceadals." If the Pops ware &holier& "society would basses what it is everywhere beycod the sphere of the Pops 's inflows—a vast beanar, in which liberty, honour, sad 000SCISIDOS would be bought sad mid." Conclusion : Bosh. Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, Holland, and England, which have broken with the Pope, are all basun where libeety, isearinr, and conscience are shamefully bartered— ass el saletecton steeped in all pagan crimes. Among the precious and irrefutable arguments which fill up the spostoliad prothonotary's pages there is one which is worth noticing. " Whitt the head is to the body," says Oaume, " the Pope is to the church :" without a head there can be no body, and without a Pope there elm be no church. Now, it is an undoubted face that the Roman question is greatly complicated by the prevalence of the belief that the Pope is Deanery to the organic constitution of the church. But this is • great historical error. To demon strate the utter falsity of this idea it la unfortunately necessary to go into questions more fit far • book than • newspaper. But inasmuch as people reed books but little and Downpipe.. a great deal, we must resign °or ielses to attack the prejudices of ignorance and the auda cious asseverations of false learning in • newspaper—and we will do ao with history in our hand. If it were true, a. X. Ganmo affirms, that the Pope is to the church what the head is to the body, we should he driven to the con clusion that the church has very often been a body without • head. To say nothing of frequent vacations of five oe six mouths, or even a year, we would beg M. Oaume to ob serve that between Fabius and Cornelius there was an inter regnum of sixteen mouths : there was a nineteen months' interregnum between Hounds I. and &various ; twenty months between Celestinus IV. and Innocent IV. ; two Leers and • half between Nicholas IV. and Coles tin= V.; and nearly three years between Clement IV. sad Gregory X. The church was without • Pope during all these Intervals ; mad if it could do without one for Gee, two. or three years, we cannot see why it should not get ea very well in a like state of privation for fifty, a hundred, or two hundred years. In the 10th century there were twenty-nine pontiffs, of whom eleven died strangled or aseasunated, and three in pries or exile; fourteen were Popes only in name ; and one. Semis 111., shared the papal , power with the famous Theodora. Cardinal Baronies, scandalised at this period of papal history , which resembles the history of the &Tens of Morocco, finds it difficult to believe that there men were really Popes. He repudiates ' them, and calls them thieves, ravening wolves, and anti. Christ ; from all which it results that for nearly a oentory the church was pretty nearly without • Pope. Does K. Gears think that if • Pope were as neesessry to the church as • bead is to the body, Jesus Christ would have permitted such a long and scandalous disorder! 7'be hierarchy of which it is said the Pope is the corner stone grew out of the necessity of providing • government for the rising church. This hierarchy was modelled upon the synagogue, the rrunicipalities of Ada Minor, and the administrative diviairins of the Roman empire. Every me tropolitan city, that is to say, every town in which the go vernor of • province reside!, became the see of a metropoli tan bishop. But every bishop was indepeadmit in the inte rior administration of his church. He was sleeted by the people, consecrated by the metropolitan, and he governed with the aid of • council of priest.. The metropolitan was also elected by the people, and consecrated by the senior seeregaa assisted by all the others. He convoked and pre sided over the provincial councils, in which the affairs of the prwrinoe were diacusred, aod the oases strictly prohibited the carrying of causes elsewhere. With each • estem,which listed for several centuries, it ie clear that a universal Pope would have been useless, and it is quite certain that the want of such an officer was nowhere felt. But the dignity and importance of the bishop were naturally in proportion to the dignity and importance of the town in which they resided, and among them towns there were three—Bums, Alexandria, and Antioch—which outshone all others. Bears was ever caps, muesli, regime pentium. It was to Rome that were brought all causes belonging to the tnbunal Orrear—canses which were submitted to the prefect of Rome, the natural judge of senators and supreme meg"- (trate.. The bishops of Rome therefore became gradually of more importance than other bishops, and arrogated to themselves an authority in the church analogous to that which the prefect exercised in matters political. upon the a special government immediately dependent upon the Emperor, and represented by the &unite' pre. fact. His residence was at Alexandria, the riche= and most populous city of the empire after Rome. And accordingly the Bishops of Alexandria, becoming rich and powerful, were this first to take the title of patriarchs. Antioch was the capital of the vast and rich proviince of the East (Asia Minor), the residence of the prefect of the preteens, and the bishop of that city became the third graW dignitary of the church. The Bishop of Jerusalem ought to have been the bead of all, but that city being politically 'object to 0111Srlit, the metropolis of Palestine, the 'bishop of Jerusalem had scarcely any jurisdiction, and it was merely ad keno/set that the title of patriarch was gaited to them. In =its, however, of these various supremacies, and the abuser which frequently resulted from them, the organic system of the church was maintained for a very long while in its primitive state without any necessity being felt for an absolute chief—a vicar of Jesus Christ upon earth. The Emperors, who had been chiefs of the pagan worship, became, in like manner, heeds of the Christian church. They convoked the first eight councils, which they presided over either in person or by deputy ; the eighth was presided over by a women— the Empress Irene. The Emperors ratified and authorised the publication of the acts of the councils. They intervened in all the affairs of the church, whether in matters of doe. trine or discipline ; they made laws concerning dogmas, the churches, and the clergy ; they &pared bishops and brought them to trial. The c od esof Theodosius and Justinian show abundantly how large a part the Emperors assumed is the general government of the church. while the Popes had merelylha honorary pee-emiassos, la moral and eassoltathe authority. Thia is not the place to explain how it happened that this authority extended throughout the wash after the fall of the empire sod under beam= kiss We will merely state that down to the thee a ZseLat ias, who died is 752—that le to lay, during the most laborious, the most brilliant, and the most edify ing period of the church- the Popes were subjects of the Emperor. And here we come to that objection which we have sit= submitted to the catholk journals without everob inning an answer ; either the Popes of the first eight cen turies exercised the apostolic"' ministry in all its plenitude, and then they bad no need of the temporal power; or, if temporal independence be an essential condition of "pintos' independence, it follows that the Popes during sight centuries were in a position incompatible with the due , government of the church. Lsdislas Paloosy, the late president, by semiority, of the Basporhin Diet, whose death hes been announced by telegraph, was 78 years old, end bad pre. sided in the Diet of 1848. The assembly suspended its sittings for three days, and resolved to wear mourning foe him for six weeks. Both chambers were swat at his funeral, the expense of which was defrayed by the Diet. . _ _ _ _ _ If the hon: member for Rochdale still remains plain Mr. Cobden, it is wily beciume it is his owe dears to do so.
