Tons iocomparable ELIA discoursing, in one of his charming .rays, upon certain psealiaritise in the Caledonian intoned, Bodes", amongst others, a some what stiff and sabending rigidity which, is his quaint style; he is pleased to characterise by sayisg of the Seotehaten, that "his Milano is born in panoply." JOHN Lord CAMPBBLL, One of the most Megrims of living Caledonians, would appear in this respect to have something of the North Briton still clinging to him. We would by no means insi nuate that the learned i and eminent Chief Justice is destitute of a talent for the facetious. On the contrary, as oar reports of proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench frequently prove, he seems pos sessed in a degree somewhat remarkable of that faculty which SYDNEY Sin's wickedly persisted in calling a wet," maintaining that it was a specifically distinct thing from that more frivolous operatics of the naiad the name of whist+, on this side the Tweed, Is generally pronounced as though spelt with another vowel. We donut for a moment mean to suggest that my Lord Carus= is sot a watty;" we merely mean, with all submission, to propound a doubt whe ther he may not have formed a conception almost byper-Caledonian in its strietases, of the attributes indispensable to the Goddess of &imam. His /diner's, it would meet, mast not only be born in panoply, but teetotally asses te be basalt direstly she lays aside her magus, or sabaekles her breastplate, or smooths away a single frown from her austere and virgin brow. Science with a smile on her face is no seance for Joint Lord CAMPBELL; literature omen to be literature when combined with en appetite for **news of the day. Twelve years ago the Legisla tors, for the enoooragement of sant" literature, and the fine arts, exempted societies that cultivated them from liability to local taxation. Lord CAMP. BELL and the Court of Queen's Bench have inter preted the Legislature to mean that such exemption cannot be enjoyed by societies which, though sub stantially instituted for the very objects to which ex emption is promised, combine with their pursuit the enjoyment of social recreation and an indulgence in the news of the day. Cultivate science, arts, and literature without amusement, (what would the author of the oration Pro Archie have thought of this notion ?) and you are not rateable; let amusements ester into your scheme, and you are rateable. Have you a readintroom on your pre mises in which a newspaper may be toned P--you are powerless against the rate collector. Do you exclude periodicals P—you are proof against all the incursions of Bombledoin. This certainly does seem on the fate of it a some what peculiar way of interpreting an Act of Parlia ment, designed, as its title informs us, "to exempt from comity, borough, parochial, and other local rates, land and buildings occupied by seeing* or 'away societies." Does a society, then, cease to be scientific or literary, because its members are not rigorously confined to Nawram or to BACON, to Smaitsrianit or to Chinos, but are allowed occasionally thous lighter solaces of the /disc kirsch or the Quarterly, the nines or the Daily News 1 Are these unfortunate socie ties the °sly abodes of learning in which the bow is from the strictest tension involve the immediate and terrible penalty of being subjected to "county, bo rough, parochial, and other local rates"—aad this, too, in oases where, se very often happens, the enjoyment or deprivation of the statutory exemp tion may make all the difference between the possi bility or impossibility of continuing to carry on the society at all P It seems hard, no doubt, but, bard as it may be, it is most undoubted " Queen's Bench law ;" and, unluckily, in questions of rateability the Court of Queen's Bench is a tribunal from which there is no appeel. The current of declaims has ban strong and uniform ever since Lord CAMPBELL presided in that court: the ease of the a Manchester Concert Hall," decided in 1831, and thins of the a Russell Institution" and "the Cambridge Philoso phical Society," both decided in 1854, are among the most striking instances of the ap plication of what we must regard as an exceediegly narrow rule of construction. In the first case, the rateability of the institution was affirmed, because though avowedly originated and substantially maintained for the promotion of musical science, yet it also contemplated as a principal object the amusement of its members by means of contorts; in the two latter cases the mane conclusion was arrived at, becalms the establishment of a reading-room where newspapers and periodicals were taken in formed one of the purposes of the institution. In our impression of yeaterd.y was reported a similar decision affirming the rateability of the " Working Man's Educational Union." In this instance the Court fully admitted that the society was a most laudable oce—s society founded for the purpose of elevating the condition of the working classes, "as regarded their moral, phy sical, educational, and religious position ;' they further admitted that the means by which this end was sought to be obtained were of a purely literary and scientific character—that amongst the standing rules of the society was one distinctly providing that nose of their publications should be either political or sec tarian. It happened, however, that one of the affi liated societies in the country had permitted two lector,* to be give* on " the Ballot" and " the Voluntary System," and for this lasso°, and also spas the ground that the objects of the society were not "exclusively" the cultivation of literature, melons', and the floe arts, the Court declared the institution to be liable to the local rates. These decisions certainly strike is as being op- , posed to the spirit of the Act 8 and 7 Vie., cap. 36 ; whether they are or are not in sooordases with its strict letter is a question of pure law, with which we do not propose to intecnieddle. One thing is quits sear—if Lord CAMPBILLL'II law be good, the Act of Pettis meat must forthwith be altered„ for its present opera tion, as interpreted by the Courts, is moat intolerably oppeasive and absurd. The existing state, indeed, of oar jurisprudence on this point strikingly alas hates the general remarks we ventured to make the other day on t►e aeonsity of moan Mica change in the mode of (ramie, and interpreting oar statutes. L this ease t►e Act as doubt, in terms, confines the exemption been liability to societies M iestituted for popesse of solemn, literature, or t►e floe arts so. etiiiceiy," and it is to a strict interpretation of this ma wad 0 exclusively " that vs owe that eareeat of declaims is the Clasea's Beach which seems is as so widely to deviate from the probable objects proposedl by the Legislature. It is reasarinulde enough that when this statute first came up for jeclicdal littergre tad= before Lord Duxes (In The anew v. Pocock," A.D. 18411),—th4t i eminent *es de clared his regret " that the Act was 110 drawn as to raise great doubts to what institutions it really applied ; " and both he and Mr. Judos ParrEson declared their conviction that the strict construction would operate to exempt many societies which had the kest claim to exemption, and. on the other hand, to render many rateable which bad the strongest title to immunity. This was more than nine years back, and yet nothing has from that time been dose to expunge from the statute book that one word "exclusively " which has since in so many in stances been allowed in our Law Courts to form the sole bat insuperable bar to the enjoyment of that exemption which, these can be no doubt, the Legir Incurs intended to confer. The cue of this " Work ' log Man's Educational Union" really appears to us to be a crowning instance of the absurdity of the law as at present written in our statute book and admi nistered in our courts. Let as hope that its manifest hardship may stir up a resoluta endeavour in the right quarters to get the law altered and amended in the next series of Parliament.

FIIDET EVININO. The Rios of Sardinia arrived at the Lyons Railway station at one o'clock to-day, acoompanied by his suite and the officers of the Emperor's household, who had gone to Marseilles to meet him. His Majesty was received by Prince Napoleon, Marshal Magnan, Colonel Fleury, the Prefect of the Seine, and the Prefect of Police. M. Mosier, the president of the Lyons Railway Company, with the director, secre t tary, and engineers of the company, were in attend ance. A salon d'honfreur, tastefully ornamented with military trophies and the arms of France, England, Sardinia, and Turkey, had been prepared for his reception. After staying there a few seconds, and eemplimentiog . the president of the railway company on the arrangements, his Majesty entered the Imperial carriage in waiting to convey him to the Tuileries. Prince Napoleon took his seat so the King's left hand. The artists, whioh con sisted of seven carriages, was escorted by a guard of Imam of the Guides and Cent Garda. On leaving the railway station, the procession passed through a square of the Imperial Guards formed in front. The line from thence to the Palace was not lined with National Guards, as had been expected, and, indeed, the entry was not a triumphal one in the sense which those who had been led to look for a repetition of of the excitement witnessed on the occasion of the Queen of England's visit may have anticipseal Although in a political point of view the event of the arrival in Paris of the esteemed sovereign of Pied mont is highly important, and although his Majesty's reception will be most cordial, it cannot be said that the public mind of the Parisians is much stirred on the subject. The crowd collected about the railway station, although considerable, was not large, and con sisted for the most part of the poorer classes who reside in the immediate neighbourhood, which is very popu lous. The wesAher wudull, with a drizslingrain,afact calculated to diminish the number of the curious. Bat what more than all prevented anything late a popular demonstration was, that whether by accident or design, the public was misled both as to the hour at which Victor Emmanuel would arrive, and as to the route that he would take. Until this morning it was supposed that he wou:d follow the line of the Boulevards, and many of the houses near the Bee tills were dressed out with flags in this anticipation. The Moositsur of this morning announced that the corregge would proceed along the new Rue Rival, but this notice appeared too late to be generally read, and very many people waited on the Boule vards, where the appearance of the flags was WOW listed to dispel any doubt that his Majesty would pass that way. Flags were also hung out along the line which was actually adopted, but there were no triumphal arches or mottoes, and the crowd on either side of the way was by no means great. The ifesiteur had said that the Kiog would arrive at the elation between two and three o'clock. Remember fag the lamented delay when the Queen came, people expected that his Majesty would be here rather after than before the time announced, and many were ustsch surprised to learn, when they arrived in the Pine Mesas too late, that the procession had left pre sisely at one o'clock. At the Tuileries, the King of Sardinia is lodged in the Pavilion Marian. 'llse Count Cavour, the Marquis d'Areglio, and ethers of his Majesty's suite, have apartments in the new Hotel de Louvre. His Majesty's stay in Paris will be about a week. 1 am informed that, after visiting London, he will go not may to Brussels, but to Cologne and Mayence, on his way home.

Captain Erskine has followed his instructions, and left that anchorage on the 17th, but although there had then been some falls of snow there wereno indications of ice. It Is impossible for those who know practically something of the navigation of these waters not to be satisfied that this movement of the fleet, although deferred to a later date than last year, has still been premature, and if the Russians should require to transfer their ships from one port to another, or should have any other object to accom plish of this nature, there is now nothing to be attempted on our part to prevent them, at least with their larger vessels, as, how ever suitable the squadron left under the command of Admiral Baynes may be to main tain the commercial blockade, they weld not be expected to cope with the large mew men-of-war, which it is known are still in a state of preparation to proceed to sea at Croustadt.

OIL ITALY. (711011 OUR OWN 0011 NAPLES, Nov. 10. I cannot refrain from making ene or two other observations on the elevation of the detested Minister of the Police, Signor Maus. Had it not been for the antecedents of which I have kept you always well informed, it might have been regarded simply ma a proof of the system of government to be persevered in in this country ; but, when it Is remembered that his dismissal was demanded by the British govern ment—that it was yielded (so it was said), and that our legation acknowledged itself satisfied in conse quence, though it was accompanied by other acts which entirely neutralised it—what are we to say to a royal decree which declares that Hears is to retain kis pay and his rank as Director of Police, and is, moreover, to be elevated to the Consults di State The Neapolitan government rescind all that it wee said to have done. It goes out of its way to insult England. It says, "We have made you withdraw your fleet by a fallacious promise— we will keep our man in spite of you, and we will make him one of our privy council." Such is the character of the recent act. It is a defiance and an insult. What will our government say to it? Nothing P Doke parole P or will it bluster and withdraw P There are especial reasons for firmnesel in the present ease, inasmuch as a most hostile ani.l mu, has been displayed towards a faithful and meri torious public servant, Mr. Fagan; and on the same grounds that Mr. Freeborn, our consul at Rome, has always been so honourably suppotted by Lord Pal merston, should Mr. Fagan be defended and upheld. I repeat what I have already said, that there is no one here who is so thoroughly acquainted with all the intrigues of the Neapolitan government as he, and therefore is it that he is attacked. In whatever diplomatic affair he has been mixed up be has done nothing on his own responsiblity, but everythipg in obedience to superior orders; and it behoves our home government to defend one whose fidelity has been equal to his prudence. The last few days have been marked by several events which, taken in connexion with the present state of the country, assume some little importance. Thus the Marchese del V—, who was lately sent to Vienna on some diplomatic mission, suddenly re turned to Naples. It appears that he bad acquired a certain reputation as a spy, and a number of French and Romagnoli bad combined together to give him a farewell salute on the frontier. He must have feared some such an affair, as he travelled under a false name ; bat on seoertaining the certainty of his sue. pic:ons, he returned hastily to the capital, leaving his carriage, which is said to have be en utterly de stroyed. This is one of those many incidents which' show the disturbed state of the peninsula and the de termined expression of public opinion. On the contrary, two other facts show some of the tricks by which the government seeks to acquire strength and influence. There has been for a long time confined in the Castle of St. Eramo a man called Lansellotti, for having defrauded a military institution of 283,000 due. How could he escape P it is asked. The secret to the whole difficulty is that be was a strong royalist, and that in 1848 he was very zealous is the reactionary movement. The Neapolitan government is grateful to those who serve it well. A few days since, too, a kind of rejoicing was got up in Santa Lucia, one of the royalist quarters, on the return of some divers from the Crimea after an absence of six month.. The church bells were rungl and guns were fired, as in honour of heroes. Such at tentions are gratifying to the people, and they were repaid by vigorous cries of " Viva it Re." In a country . like Naples, where nothing is done but by permission of the police, little events speak volumes, therefore it is that I note them. The commerce of the country is at the lowest ebb. The imports are reduced to nothing. The foreign exchanges still continue falling, but it is hoped that the press will take up the subject.
