Wittts the Rev. BRYAN liCtito's friends are ac cusing his rebellious parishioners before the ma gistrates, the Rector himself thinks it proper and becoming to denounce his Bishop to the public. He has just published a pamphlet, entitled " Sa " crilege and its Encouragement ; being an ac " count of the St. George's Riots and of " their Success, in a Letter of Remonstrance "to the Lord Bishop of London." From this " Letter of Remonstrance " it appears that deeply culpable as the parishioners are in their aversion to " choral services," " Eucharistic vestments," and damask " dorsals " decorated with deep red crosses, and yet more culpable as the profane rabble are in their violent hatred of white-robed boys and wax candles, there are other parties to whom a much deeper guilt attaches. The true authors of these weekly disturbances must be looked for else where. While the actual rioters are comparatively few and belong for the most part to the humblest clean of the population, the true " encouragers of " sacrilege " are a large body belonging to all ranks, but especially to the highest ranks born in Church and State. There is, it appears from the Letter, a wide-spread conspiracy against the blameless and peace-loving Rector of St. George's, if such a term as conspiracy can be fairly applied to the independent action of the various public authori ties who have been called in any way to deal with these disturbances. Foremost amongst the authorities who are formally charged by the Rector as abettors of sacrilege are the Churchwardens. They are pre-eminently guilty because they did not commit the find dissentient parishioners to the charge of the police. Next comes the vestry, whose great crime appears to have been the appointment of an earnest and popular clergyman to the vacant post of afternoon !ecturer. Then the police authorities are cri minally responsible for refusing to arrest the oc cupants of the church indiscriminately at Mr. Kixti's bidding ; and the Police Magistrates, for refusing to convict obscure members of a noisy crowd on trivial and contradictory evidence. Finally, amongst State authorities the (lovernment does not escape its share of blame, the Hoes Serairrear being heavily reproached, first, for neglecting urgent appeals for' assistance, then for his reluctance to authorise the attendance of the police within the church, and finally for refusing to order the police to remove from the church those whom the Rector considered tree pasaers. But the guilt of these lay encouragers of disturbance is light and trivial in comparison with that of the clerical abettors of sacrilege. These are the Rev. Heim ALLIN and the Bishop of LONDON. The first created the riots by preaching last May in the pulpit to which ho had been duly elected ; and the latter—the Bishop—has actively supported and encouraged the rioters ever since. Mr. llavav Kimo'a letter is written on the principle 4,f the climax ; and all its subordinate charges and .le iations lead up to his grand charge and grand denunciation of his Diocesan. The Bishop of LoeUVN is, according to Mr. KING, the arch-rioter who is directly respfinsible for the scandalous scenes that have disgraced St. lkorge's. Great part of the letter is devoted to the insinuation and attempted proof of this startling accusation. The letter is called a " Remonstrance," but the remonstrance, notwithstanding its assumed humility of tone, often becomes harsh reproof and downright con demnation. The meek and injured air of martyr like remignation and endurance in which these charges are preferred does not in the least conceal the spirit of bitterness and animosity, 0' pride, arrogance, and resentment, that animates them. One of the earliest charges Mr. KING Immo against the Bl.llor is that he publicly r,-ferred to him in the House of Lords as "hating " irritated the feelings of a Protestant congregs " sten," and "as having had recourse in conduct " ing Divine Serviie to practices calculated to " offend or alienate the great body of the pa " rishioners." To most readers this would seem to be only the statement of a sufficiently notorious fad; but Mr. KIN.: considerately agrees to pass it over as possibly "an error of judgment." Other and later acts of his Diocesan, however, the Rector cannot explain on this charitable assumption. The last and most serious of these was the removal by the churchwardens, at the 815h01..4 Command, of the choir-stalls, the move ahle altar-cross, and damask hangings from the chancel of the church about a month ago. These ornaments were not only unauthorised, but spe cie:ly offensive to the parishioners, and on these grounds, therefore, their removal *as perfectly THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 11; .14b; rt . i . natural and justifiable.

Rector of St. 1. .of z . George's. We are quite content to take the . facta just as he has given them, and indeed for many we have no other authority. Those facts, as detailed in the Letter, prove that Mr. Knee has wantonly created and obstinately main tained a scandal that destroys the influence of the Church in his parish, and is most injurious to the cause of religion generally. They prove that he has by his own perverse practices emptied the church, alienated the great body of his respect. able parishioners, and thus deprived himself of that strong local and personal support which every clergyman who discharges his duty ins fair and kindly spirit is certain to secure. In the early part of his Letter Mr. KING briefly recounts the history of his connexion with the pariah. It is evi dent that previous to his becoming Rector there was • large congregation at St. George's, who, so far from Wog indifferent to the Church and hostile to the slew had become so attached to a diligent and Maid curate that when he removed to a church in the neighbourhood a number followed him there. The remaining congregation was still large, but unfortunately the new Rector's first act was not calculated to win their confidence and support. He at once altered the service by restoring those parts of the ritual which had in practice become obsolete. This, he tells us, ex cited " great unpopularity," which feeling so grew and strengthened that in a short time, he says, " a formal request was made to me on behalf of " the parishioners to abandon it." Had he met this request in a friendly and conciliatory spirit he would have secured their support, and have acquired a legitimate if not unlimited influence over them. But he declined their urgent and united request for the restoration of the old form of service. The natural result of such a refusal fol lowed. "It is certain," he says, " that a very great " distrust and estrangementof my parishionerefrom " myself was the consequence of my resolution." The breach was thus unhappily begun, but there was no reason why it need be widened ; and if no further steps had been taken in the same direction the probability is that it would have been healed. English pariah congregations are generally com posed of orderly, peace-loving people, who will endure a great deal rather than create a distur bance, much lees provoke an open rupture with their incumbent. In almost every congregation there will be found High Churchmen and Low Churchmen, who will bear a good deal they don't exactly like for the sake of peace, and order, and harmony—in a word, out of regard for the cioarsaon good. Everyone must well know parish oungregations who at different times have had in cumbents of widely different views. But if they did their duty in a Christian spirit they were respected and supported by the body of their congregations, including numbers op posed to their peculiar Church principles. A High Church congregation will approve and support a Low Church pastor if he does not obtrude his special views in a repulsive and ag gressive manner on their notice. And a congrega tion containing a large Low Church element will endure a considerable amount of High Church doctrine if its symbolism is not incessantly paraded in a way fitted, if not intended, to arouse and in flame their latent antagonism. Mr. KING freely admits the peace-loving and forbearing character of English parish congregations. He says : " The "scenes of riot which have been enacted in my "church during the lent ten months have happily " been an entirely new and monstrous thing in " England." The effect being so strange and un natural it is surprising that it never occurred to him to inquire, or at least to suspect, whether there might not be something equally strange and unusual in the cause. Without formally consider ing this inquiry in relation to himself, he answers it sufficiently in the course of his letter. We see clearly that the Rector is the monstrous cause of this monstrous effect. His restoration of the ritual which estranged him from his parishioners at his first coming was not a solitary act. It was only the first of a series of acts that completed the work of separation so unhappily begun. The alteration of the ritual was followed by the intro duction of the "choral service," which still further excited the hostility of the parishioners. Then came the adoption of the " Eucharistic vest " manta," which revolted the few indepen dent parishioners who still continued to attend the church. The church was in this way practically emptied, the few who continued to attend being those who had thoroughly accepted' Mr. Kuto's peculiar views and practices. How few this number was may be gathered from the fact that in a parish of 30,000, less than forty persons attended the regular Communion ; and as the whole of Mr. KING'S converts would take the Communion, we may Waists the extent of his influence, after mars than twelve years' incessant exertion in the cause by • revised ritual, &c. He had converted the church into a cloister, in fact, sad the regular congregation was sent from the place. It was natural that they should be anxious to regain a footing in the parish church ; and they expressed their wish by the election of Mr. WWI ALMS to the afternoon lectureship. Mr. Kura opposed his appointment in every possible way, and eventually rendered it impossible for him to retain the post. This was no doubt the immediate occasion of the recent riots, but the cause lies deeper—in the long course of vexatious and offensive opposition to his parishioners which Mr. KING has pursued. His line of conduct had left the parishioners, as they say in their petition to Parliament, "practically " without a pastor for seventeen years.'" The police magistrate cannot possibly cure a deep-seated evil and injury like this. Mr. Kist: has emptied his own church, wan tonly deprived himself of the local sup port any good clergyman may secure, and the place of that support cannot be supplied by a body of police, however large, or active, or trucu lent they may be. He has moat justly lost all moral bold on the parish ; and this cannot be re gained by prosecuting the mob who occupy the place his congregation ought to fill. In a word, Mr. KING, like ElLie, has sold his birthright for something leas valuable than a mess of pottage, bartered his position and influence as an English clergyman for a few " eucharistic vestments " and " damask hangings." ttaraß Janes itecrut• The Prima of Wales, attended by Major• General the Hon.

A great deal has been done for the house in the wa i of improvement and decoration. The princi entrances are freed from obstructions • the obbies, staircases, and passages are covered with rich carpetting ; the number of chandeliers is in creased so as to produce a blaze of light in the auk, and this brilliancy is heightened by the introduc tion of magnificent mirrors. The general appear ance of the interior is not greatly altered, but every thing looks brighter and fresher by means of new painting, gilding, and cleaning. In short, this noble old theatre looks more splendid, and is more convenient and comfortable than it has been at any time within our memory. No effort was made to " inaugurate" the opening of the theatre by any display of novelty. The opera was the exceedingly well-known Marta ; and it was got up and performed nearly in the same way as at Mr. Smith's Drury Lane Italian Opera last season. Mdlle. Titiens was the heroine, Giuglini was Lionello, and Vialetti was Plumkett. The only material alteration was the substitution of Madame Lemaire for Madame Borchanit in the character of Nancy. The remaining characters are subordinate, and it does not much matter by whom they are represented. The performance, being thus familiar to the public,. calla for scarcely any remark. Mdlle. Titiens is admirable and cha • in every thing she does, but the character of y Enri chetta (or Marta) is not one of her happiest efforts. As the noble lady of the court she is elegant, grace ful, and aristocratic, and her reading of the part, in its serious phase, is excellent ; but she is no comedian, and in assuming the country girl she is not sufficiently light and playful. Her singing, how ever, was invulnerable to criticism. Her "Last Rose of Summee,"especially, was perfectly exquisite. We have heard Giuglini to greater advantage. He seemed languid and out of voice ; but he had bright momenta, when he acted with fire and passion, and sang deliciously. Madame Lemaire's Nancy was sprightly, but her voice was thin, weak ? and far from perfect in intonation. The opera, in its en semble, was well put upon the stage. Flotow's music does not try the powers of the orchestra at all severely ; hut the accompaniments were suffi ciently smooth and light, and the chorus was good. After the opera God save the Queen" was sung ; and the entertainments concluded with a little ballet, in which the favourite danseuse, Mdlle. Pocchini, appeared. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. -LOMBARDY.

A pamphlet, which I grievously suspect to be official, is announced to coine out on Saturday, under the title of "Coalition." It will treat a coalition of monarchs against France as a thing of the past, and will treat of a coalition of peoples who —according to a celebrated expression of the Emperte —when they suffer turn their eyes towards France. The treaties of 1816 will be made very light of, and the moral of the whole work will be the extension of the French frontiers. It is given out to-day that the Emperor's aides de-camp ,General Fleury and M. de Bourgoin have not gone to England on any political mission, but merely to buy horses. This story may or may not be true ; but it is so much a matter of course to disavow secret missions in the first instance, that no reliance can be placed upon any contradiction of the kind. The Dibata confirms the news that General de Lamoriciere has accepted the command of the Pope's armies, and adds that Cardinal Antonelli had nothing to do with the negotiation which brought the general to Rome. Like many other affairs, this was one conceived by the Pope him self, and worked out by him and his familiars in the palace. It was, therefore, with perfect good faith that Cardinal Antonelli, a fortnight ago, as sured the French Ambassador that the general to be chosen would be neither French nor Austrian ; negotiations having, after the refusal of General Meyer Hader, been entered into with an Austrian officer. It is not generally known that a miracle was wrought in order to enable General de Lamoriciere to serve the Pope. A clerical journal of Angers, the Union de Count, informs us that when Mgr. de Merode first broached the subject to the general, he replied, " Since it is the Pope's wish it must be God's will ; but, as you see, I am laid up with the gout, it therefore rests with God to restore me to a fit state to do his bidding." A few days after the gout left him, and the Angers journal most seriously recommends this wondrous fact to the solemn con sideration of the writers in the Opinion Nationale, Sie , cle, and Charitoril At the Bourse the Rente and Credit Mobilier closed without any change. The market was very dull. Railways were 2fr. or 3fr. higher. The Courrier de Tarn et Garonne says that a camp for military manoeuvres will be formed in the course of the summer in the neighbourhood of Toulouse. The engineering officers propose the Plateau of Bracqueville,fin the plain of Muret, as the most suitable site. COIRCION OF NORTH SAVOY. (1 , 1011 ♦ ooltasaromarr.) GENEVA, APRIL 7. . . _ All demonstrations in favour of annexation to Switzerland are becoming more and more difficult in the neutralised provinces. The whole adminis tration has been renovated, the Piedmonteee employis having been withdrawn and replaced by adherents to France. The circulation of pamphlets, newspapers, and notes contrary to annexation to France is either stopped or retarded. The arrival of M. Laity has greatly excited the zeal and activity of the French agents, and a heavy pressure is brought to bear upon the opulation, little accus tomed to resist official intimations. Promises of all aorta are scattered about—banks, railroads, places, dm. ; whilst intimidation is not neglected, and I have been told that the word Cayenne has even been uttered. As to the vote itself, the poor people will be much embarrassed. They will be required to vote " Piedmont " or " France," and they well know that the first alternative is impos aible, particularly with South Savoy French. So that, even were they left free from any pressure, they could not express their desire to be united to Switzerland. A letter from Paris says, " The oldest inhabitants in Paris remark that Faster Monday was seldom so joyously celebrated by the Parisian population, butbarticularlyiby the operatives in the Faubourg St. Antoine, as it was yes terday. There was not a hackney coach on a stand nor • vacant seat in an omnibus to be found. The gingerbread fair, at the spot where the Barriere du Tenn formerly stood, was so crowded that the Emperor, who drove through it without an escort, on his way to Vincennes, found it diffi cult to pass. Being recognised by the people, he was loudly cheered." The following are the namee of various Princes, Kings, and Emperors who have been excommunicated more or lees solemnly by preceding Popes :—John XII., excom municated Otho 1., Emperor of Germany ; Gregory V., King Robert for having contracted an illegitimate marriage ; Nicholas IL, excommunicated Gerard, Count of Galicia ; Gregory VII., Henry TV. ; Urban H., King Philip of France, because be had carried off the wife of the Count d'Anjon and would not restore her ; Pascal IL, the Emperor Henry V.; Innocent IL, King Roger, of Sicily ; Celestin IL, Alphonse, King of Castilla ; Alexander 111., the Emperor Frederic Barberosaa ; Celestin 111., Duke Leopold of Austria; Innocent 111., Philip Augustus of France. On Palm Sunday, 1239, Gregory IX. excommuni cated the Emperor Frederic; Innocent IV. excommunicated the same Emperor in 1245 ; Boniface VIII., Philippe le Bel; Urban VI., John of Castilla; Jules 11., King Louis XII. ; Clement VII., Henry VIII., of England ; and Pius VII., Napoleon I. General Lamoricibre, writing to a friend in Paris from Rome, speaks very " hopefully" of the prospect of affairs. He says, " With the assistance of God, and our own diligence, I hope soon to have Roman Zonaves." A letter from Ancona atatei that, together with General Lamoriciere, the ex-Duke Francis of Modena landed at Ancona on the %di ult., and the troops of the Duke of Modena are to join the papal troops. A letter from Rome of the 4th, in the Orinione of Turin, says :—" Another kidnapping case has occurred here. Count Ceroni, a rich landowner, having died last year, hie widow entrusted the heir to the property, her only son, to the College of Jesuits, where he made great progress in his studies. But last month the countess heard, most unexpectedly, that he had been removed from the college and sent to the Jesuit Noviciate of Saint Andrea del Quirin►le. She hardened to claim him back from the reverend fathers, but their answer was that her son felt a strong vocation to become a member of the Com pany of Jesus, and that they, yielding to his entreaties, bad felt it their duty to second his vocation. The countess, in despair, obtained an audience of the Pope, who, in reply to her tests, declared that he could not oppose the vocation of her son, adding that the fault was hers in not having kept him under her own eye. The clue to these proceedings of the reverend fathers is this : the young count, now a novice, her a patrimony of 1,500,000 fr. !" SA RDINIA. (IMON OUR OWN OORRINPONDINT.) TURIN, APRIL 7. For nearly a month past the press of Eunve hay spoken from time to time of an exchange of lettvr, between the Pope and King Victor Eollll2llllltl. Several journals have pretended to give the ..xset text of the correspondence. A German paper .lid publish something approximately true, ant a portion, though imperfect, was publi s h e d in the Courier du Dimanche. Now, icy the letter which it is most important that we should be accurately acquainted with is the Pope's answer, explaining, as it doer in part, what he has since done, and showing, as it does at the same time, that Victor Emmanuel was informed of the Pope's intentions, but notwithstanding held hi 4 own good right and convenience to be paraumum, I think you will be glad to see an exact copy of that letter. I can guarantee its authenticity, and an undoubted proof of this will be given by the publication of the three letters, together with the narrative of the Rev. M. Stellardi, who was the Ring's special messenger to tho2pope.. Ma —The idea tilt your Majesty has thought of meta sting to me is not a wise idea, and certainly not, worthy of a catholic king, and of a king of the house of Savoy. My answer is already consigned for publication in the encyclical letter to the catholic episcopacy, which psi rosy easily read. For the rest, I am most afflicted, not fur myself, but for the unhappy state of your Majesty's soul, which is inipli. sited (Magnesia) in the censures, and in those that will more greatly inculpate it after the consummation of the sacrilegious act which you, together with those around you, have the intention of Performing. I pray the Lord with all my heart that He may enlighten you, and give you grace to know and lament both the scandals occasioned and the very grievous evils brought by your co-operation on this poor Italy. From the Vatican, this 14th of February, 1860. Prue, Pon, IX. I make no comments on this letter, in which there is not an elevated thought, and in which the name of Italy is coupled with an epithet no longer quite so pertinent as two abort years ago. To blame the King of Sardinia for any evils Italy may have suffered, the Kitnngg who risked his life for her sake, and who successfully liberated a goodly part of the whole Italian land, while the Pope was hav ing the inhabitants of Perugia butchered, after getting Germans and Frenchmen to shed Italian blood at Rome and Bologna—is a marvellous piece of impudence. The Pope is not satis fied with previous butcheries. Ac you are aware, he has sent for the ex-republican Lamoriciere to compound an army for him out of all the human ingredients that can be obtained throughout Europe and gathered together in Rome. In their want of principle, the Pope and his gene ral are playing a singular game in the sight of Europe. Letters have been detected here, and sequestrated by the authorities, that reveal au An/aro-Papal plot, the resemblance of which to those of the carboriari of old is most striking. The so-called Peter's Pence, now being col lected and sent by Frenchmen, Irishmen Belgians, and others, the Pope expends in hiring both fighters and writers for his cause, and in secret ser vice money for corrupting civil and military officers. Truly a moral and religious mode of expenditure. The King will leave Turin for Central Italy on the 17th of April, and make his solemn entrance into Florence on the 20th. Festive preparations on a grand scale are going on there for his recep tion, but the sight of all others dearest to his heart will be the love and enthusiasm of the people. THE UNITED STATES.

SERIOrm EFITAIH OF PRAcTo 'AL .1 , Pi: IM:• — A very serious case came before the city bench of niagistrd. 1 on Wednesday last. Two yonm fellown—dohn Palmer. millwright at Mr. Bell's, and Matthew Martin, in 11,1 employ of Mr. Nelson—went into the Lion end Lo o t, L.n. in this city, on Sunday afternoon, to get something t. dint or to see the girls. they were in the kib:ben, and it s about tea time. After putting the tea.kettle tape.'lt: are, one of the servant girls went upstaLa to clean her.. ) .f. and during her absence the prisoner Palmer lifted np lid of the kettle and dropped wine twist tobae . o. tl • water. Ten persons had their tea made of this 114.1.011. ,, .Nll -' disgustinglllizture ; and in consequence they were all we••:.•k attacked with sickneee and vomiting. The case of th.. lady, Mrs. Milburn, was very serious--to use Mr. Milk. , words to the magistrate*, "they thought she would h. , 3 died." Happily the children got milk that aftermes, otherwise this exceedingly foolish joke might has , hol fatal end. As stated above, the MAC came before magistrates, and Mr. Milburn had resolved to prowetC, the prisoners. When the law.books were bneight out. h... ever, and when it was found that the case was not antes the jurisdiction of the bench, but must go to the as , and that the prisoners were liable to be impriweast years, Mr. Milburn said he would not push things to t , : extremity. He had no reason to suppose the young t ,, e , had done the act through malice, awl he hops' would sere them as a caution.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Covent-garden likewise opened for the season last night. The opera was Dinorah, the run of which last season, it will be remembered, was cut very short by the closing of the theatre. It then had only six representations ; but then the curiosity of the public was in a considerable degree satisfied by its many excellent performances, in its English dress, by the Pyne and Harrison company on the same board. This circumstance must have taken off the edge of appetite for Dinorah ; but its attrac tions axe so great, we apprehend, that it must form a prominent feature of the present season. It was performed in the same manner as last year, with only two alterations of any moment. he one was the appearance of M. Faure in the character of Heel, w 'ch i (in theatrical parlance) was " created" by him at the Opera Comique. He is a great improvement upon Grariani ; for though his voice is not equal to Grariani's, he is that per former's superior in every other respect—in style, execution, and expression, and above all, in his reading of the part, which gives an intelligible and consistent idea of the dramatist's conception of the character. Faure is a great actor as well as a great singer ; and his reception last night showed that his powers were fully appreciated. The other alteration was not for the better. It was the substitution of a Mdlle.Giuditta Sylvia for Madame Nantier Didiee in the part of Capraio, or Goat herd. We cannot understand why this change has been made, for Madame Didiee sang the Goat herd's song—one of the loveliest things in the opera (and, we believe, composed expressly for her) most exquisitely, while the new singer failed to give it any effect. Madame Miolan-Carvalho, as the interesting heroine, was as delightful as ever, and was received with enthuaiasm. Gordon threw a great deal of genuine comedy into the part of Corentin, and sang with all his usual grace and sweetness. The orchestra was incomparable, and everything belonging to the miss en sane was mag nificent.

ARCHITECTURAL AMSOCIATION.—Yesterday even ing the tenth annual exhibition of this society took place in their handsome and commodious set of rooms at No. 9, Conduit-street. A collection of beautiful draw ings and watercolour paintings, representing either cele brated existing specimens of various architectural styles and schools, both ancient and modern, British and foreign, secular and ecclesiastical, or else representing appro ved designs for projected edifices, was displayed upon the walla Amongst the latter, none attracted more attention than the gorgeous designs for the new Assize Court House at Man chester. A set of curious and beautiful pictures by Mr. Wilson, intended to contrast the respective merits o f clas sical and medieval architecture, by showing, in the one case, a congregation of English churches and cathe drals forming a towered and steepled city, and in the other case the Forum of Rome surrounded with temples, arches, and colonnades of the antique character, was looked at with much interest. An assortment of tee *elated flooring, stone and marble chimneypieces, cornices e nd mouldings, carved and stained wood*, paper.hangings, metal ware, with all sorts of fittings and furniture, useful and ornamentaL.also*oocupied the curiosity of the visitors. The ladies and gentlemen present were briefly addressed by Professor Cockerel' and Mr. Edmiston, who directed their attention to the different classes of objects in the exhibition. Allusion MY made to the regretted death of the Ear! de Grey, the kind and obliging late president of the society. It was mentioned that the Prince Consort, who has become a patron of the society, would have attended this soil* if the Court had been in town. The financesl of the society were reported to be in a tolerably steady position. Grotooters' ASAOCIATION.—The committee of this association, having determined upon conducting a series of excursions to different places of geological interest, a large number of the members availed themselves on Monday last of the facilities afforded by the South-Eadern Railway Company to visit Folkestone, with a view to examine the strata of this particularly interesting part of the coast. The =was under the guidance of the president, the Rev. Wiltshire, Professor Tennant, and others. They spent several hours on the shore investigating the chalk, greenaands, and gault, and procured a considerable number of the characteristic founds. In this manner the peculiari ties of the above named formations were practically brought before the student, affording him a more correct idea of the rocks and their contents than he could gain by the perusal of a library of geological works, IS IM I, 1 t i , f I. 1 a.
