LONDON, MONDAY, JAN. 30. Sums the doors of the Star Chamber won clued we have had no secret tribunal in thin country, and it is rather late in the day to attempt a revival in any form of an institution so obnoxious to the feetinp and dangerous to the intermits of a free people. Lord Joan MANNERS has, however, resolved to make the attempt. tie has given notice that to-morrow week he will more for leave to bring in a bill enabling the Court for Divans and Matrimonial Causes to hold its sit tings with closed doors. This effort of the noble lord in favour of an obsolete and mischievous practice is perhaps not altogether surprising. As a political arebwologist he looks with a kindly eye sa medieval institutions, while as a nobleman be natu rally meets the popularising of a privilege hitherto restricted very much to his own order. Both as a high eharchrnan and a staunch conservative, in his eight the Divorce Court is simply an abomination, sad thsre being no chance of its suppression, be would fain reduce it to einem. No doubt there are maw who will sympathise with the noble lord in his crusade against judicial publicity. The friends of eselesiutical despotism, for example, are the natural swamies of • lay tribunal that presumes to decide as what they regard u a religious question. Mr. Bosoms buddy confesses that es a Catholic le he ea principle opposed to the Divans Court, and ea it want Ise abolished he is of coarse far ndusing it to silence by all means. We are far from main taining that these is nothing whatever to be said in favour of such a course. On the contrary, were item. expedient foe public justice to be administered with closed doors, the Cuun in question would no doubt supply the strongest reasons for sash an exceptional practice. Its revelations are generally far more die• gutting than instinctive. They being into repaleive prominence the viers and follies that in our ordinary nodal life at. mat carefully mmosaled; they punt entiesally the miserable spectacle of broken faith, bleeding hearts, sod desolate homes; of fraud, weelty, ms•naesa, and revenge in the nut intimate and sacred relationship of life ; of union without love, or pitsainate affection turned to bitterest hate. The Court is, in fact, a living satire not only as our minted domestic life but an our =tient civilisa tion, suggesting that hone is a mockery, matrimonial fidelity • delusion, sad mann affection a drone. No right-minded man can tale any pleasure in such revelation, or .issire them to obtain any extended circulation. The cynic may, indeed, rejoice at the ample material thus supplied for pointing his usual suers/ ; but every Konen - Jos amid manly heart will =cern at the desk side of oar social life which this Divorce Court reveals. It most be remembered, however, that this is not peculiar to one Court. We do not expect courts of jostles to exhibit the best side of human nature. Lams are made for transeressoes, and the whole machinery for enforcing them presuppose* offences I sad offenders. lierchations quite as saddeoing and repulsive as those of the Divorce Court are made le other courts as well. But this is no sufficient ground whatever for surrendering that publicity which reason and experience alike prove to be one ; of the most efficient safeguards foe the impartial administration of justice. There may be incidental evils connected with this publicity, but they are nothing scampered with the graver mischiefs and dangers which secret tribunals directly tend to pro dace. Every good institution, every healthful prac ties ie liable to abuse, and the open doors of the court of justice may now and then, especially in criminal trials, Le turned to injurious aceonnt. The details of the cases are sometimes unfit for pa& lioation, and often, when not absolutely impure, would be much better curtailed if not altogether sup pressed. Publication in the newspapers is not a neesseery guarantee of justice, like the openness of the Court. Wherever a responsible reporter for the newspapers is present there is what may be called a potential pablication, which 'sewers some of the most important ends contemplated in the printing of reports of courts of justice. No doubt many of the came reported are most ananitable for family reading, and if generally perused would do more harm than goon. This is peculiarly the case with the proceedings of the Divorce Cain. Bet the evil cannot be met by legislation; it must be left to the corrective action of public opinion and the discretion of the prem. We ea mot deny the central pricimple of liberty and reverse the basis of our sdministra-1 tioa of jastice, because th►t may attend it. inevitable in all human reduced to the lowest snaukt a., billable kind in Wee( 'a liberal dem Dot Create the evils sad e&ad leemilets; it simply reveals them, and a full know ledge of the degree is half the care. Under free institutions the vices of our private and the &btu*, of our pulite life, instead of being suppressed, are brought into the light of day. But the publicity that reveals and seems to exaggerate them supplies also the most direst and powerful cure. The morbid elements, being brought to the surface, are in • fair way of being thrown off by the healthful action of the whole system. instead of preying in secret on its vital centres. Political valetudinarians may, indeed, prefer the fatal quietude of dewy to the rude rigour and irregular activity of popular health. But every freeman knows that the evils eomplained of are only the signs of life, and that at the worst they are nothing in riomparisee with the dewily mawkish that flourish within the Gibson of closed doors, and grow to gigantic proportions under the dark shadow of arbitrary power. The Pharisees of public life it. always scrupulously nice in externals, but the caw sional turbulence of publicans and sinners is infinitely preferable to the dead calm of whited sepulchres. In a word, the short-eighted ostrich policy of conceal meat can serve no good purpose in any department of public life, lent of all in the administration of justice. Let us know the worst by all means, sod we mey then strive to mend and gradually work towards a better eats. The argument, now urged against the publicity of jedisial proceedings are precisely the sane aa thus formerly adopted naiad the freedom of the pries. Where the press is fns its liberty may sometimes degenerate into license. Whims justice is administered with open doors its proasedings msy sometimes tend rather to disgust than to edify. Who, however, that understands the tree principles of liberty, would au this amount plat* • legislative bar on tie freedom of the one or the pablisity of the other 7 Such restrictions never ean e•eosed ; and if they could, they would prove in juries. just is proportion to their success. The caly arguments in their favour rat on the files assump tion that ignorance is virtue, and childish Imbecility better than manly strength. Thu noble words spoken by Caoirwitu.'s Latin Secretary to the triads of Censorship in the days of the Common wealth equally apply now to the enemies of pablieity. " I cannot," says MILTON, " praise s fugitive and eleistered virtue, unexereised " and anbreathed, that never sallies out and seeks " her adversary, but slinks oat of the roes where that " immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust " and hest. Assuredly we bring not innocence " into the world, wo bring Imparity much rather ; " that which purifies m is trial, and trial is by what "is sontrury. That virtue, therefore, whish is bat " a younghng in the contemplation of evil, and " knows not the utmost that vice promises to her " followers, and rejects it, is but a blank virtue, not 1" • pure." Besides, even the revelations of the Divorce Court are bysesessas ea unmixed evil. No doubt they touch es Le a tender part, but it is also a vital one, being essential to the strength end security of the social fabric. They bring late prendnecoo one of the worst features of modern life--the false and com mercial estimate of the marriage relation which has grow iogly prevailed of late years, especially ameept the better climes of society. We see the result reflected in the tragic mirror of the Divert* Court. These scandalous revelations, which have given it such an evil repute, Sr. but the inevit able Nemesis of me recuary, prdligate, and ill-assorted unions. If they inspire horror and disgust, so meek the better. The feeling is salutary, and may prove earreetive. Those who dread such scenes will be likely to avoid the way of life that lead' to them. They will reflect before em barking to the meet moored of engagements, sad display some mutual forbearance in fulfilling them. The kaewledge that redress is within reach, but only to be obtained by publicity, will help to produce this result. Those very evils now complained of In the proceedings of the Court are greatly doe to the previous want of publicity. It is crowded with cares whisk have grown up ander the old system when relief was practically hopeless, sad all prospect of reconeiliatioc, therefore, vain. To those who have dragged with frantic desperation at a hopeless chain and latierated sea other for years in the struggle, the relief of the new Court is welcome, even at say oast of publicity sad damaged reputa tion. But to ethers safely each examples are likely to operate as a ansfel warning. Oa the ground, therefore, both et prim iple and expodkomy we protest spinet Lard lona MANNsits's attempt to sloes the doors of the Coart,aad we are glad to mo that Mr. EDWIN hat, hes given owns that, ea leave being wiled to iatredaes the proposed saguaro, he will move the penis= itionisa. Tin Rev. Czaibis Nevin Wontwousr, Canon of Norwich Cathedral, Recto/ of St. Margaret's, Riug's Lynn, and Chaplain to the Bishop of Non 'leg, has, on deliberate and matured considers deo, resigned the valuable preferments in the Church which he bas held all his life, because he or. no logger acquiesce in that loose way of in terpreting the language of certain parts of the Prayer-book which enables thousand* of clergy men bolding doctrinal opinions like his own to subscribe to semi-Popish formularies. Canon WODS HOUSE if a Oloripsan of whom Bishop STANLEY OSSO Said in the House of Lords, " Let one who knows him " well bear testimony to his valuable services: et his " character as a clergyman and an a man it is lus " possible to meek too highly." He has not forfeited, he has eshaased this reputation; neither has be taken up with any heresy, new or old, but holds, u i he always has done, to the essential truths ot Chrie tianity such as they are held by the great body of r e li g ious persons in this island, whether churchmen or dissenters. The objections to portions of the offices of the Church which he makes now are such as he imparted to Bishop Kars is 1817, to Bishop STANLEY in 1844, offering to resign his !preferment, and again in 1860 to Bishop HIND.. They relate to the damnetory passages contained in that superb monument of human preatimptisa, the Creed called Athatiasian ; and to the Form of Abso- lution in the Visitation of the Sick, the words need at the Imposition of Hands in the Ordination of Priests, and the corresponding Form in the Conse cration of Bishops. '1 hose of the laity who have read these speciAl offices know that they are so framed as to imply the communication of supernatural power to the person ordained or eonsecrated. The learned prelates named above sympathised with Canoe WODIHOINIS in his difficulties, but strongly advised him to remain at hie post. Bishop STANLIT publicly maintained that the clergy could not be supposed to seseet to all and everything to which they subscribed at their ordination. Bishop KAYS told his 'mug frirtad that be should not tumid'r views like his any impediment to ordination. And Bishop HINDI wrote to him : "Those expressions in " our servilss for visiting the sick sad for ordaining ask attention to the reason he gives :—" It appeared " to sanction the using very solemn words in a " asses different from that which the words them " selves must neceesarily convey to the generality of " the English people." This pump contains the pith of the whole matter. The Evangelical clergy man cannot adopt the words of the services own plained of except by • process of interpretation which wrests them from the meaning which is plain to the common sense of the English people. How shall the difficulty be met ? We have seen what answer three eminent prelates gave to this question. Here is another, to which Canon WODZHOUSE has been led is the exercise of his judgment and conscience. He writmi to the Bishop :—" I am persuaded the Form "of Ordination for Priests, while it remains " unchanged and unexplained, tends more than any .' thing to generate and foster within our Church " opinions aid practices objectionable to Protestants. " According to your lordship's established cootom, " an Ordination is appointed to take place in March " next, which is also one of the months appointed " for my Cathedral residence. I beg, therefore, re " spectrally to apprise your lordship that, under " present circumstances, I cannot satisfactorily take " my equal part is tie Orem*. sarviae, am* sp. pear to approve of a form which is now so °Nee " tionably interpreted or understood. Up to this " time I have endeavoured to maintain my poet. " tion in the Church as one of its minimums ; b ' bat having come to the conclusion that I cannot " join in one of its most selenin services, there ap " pears, upon oonsideration, to be only one becoming " course open to ma Having, therefore, already " resigned the Rectory, &c., of St. Margaret's, Lynn, " I now beg to resign my Canonry, and also the " Mace of chaplain to year lordship." Far be from us the pretension to pronounce which of these two courses it is proper for a clergy man holding the views called " Evangelical " to adopt. As the question is attended with great dif doalties, we leave it to the courteous of those most concerned in its decision. Bat we are at perfect liberty to declare that it would be a great public misfortune if any large part of the clergy holding the opinion of Gaon WODEROUSZ were to fol low his example. It is now more important than ever to remember that the aim of MORLEY, SHM.DoIt. GUNNING, and the other authors of the remetiosury revision of the Prayer Book accomplished at the Restoration, when the whole volume was made to accord with the sacerdotal and sacramental theories Of LAUD, was to drive men to the wares which Canon WODEHOUSE has taken. When the Act of Uniformity was ander debate the Lord Chamber lain Mammas= told the Kuto that its teems were l eo rigid he was afraid many of the Ministert would not comply with it ; upon whisk Bishop Gunboat marked. "I am afraid they will ." He is re paled to have added, " Now we know their " minds, we'll make them all knaves if they eon ' " form." Bo when Dr. ALLIN observed to the same Bishop, " It is a pity We door is so strait," he an swered, " It is no pity at all ; if we had thought so " many of them would have conformed we would have " made it straiter." Language similar in its spirit may be read any week in the organs of the High Chore► party now, a party whist+, well knowing that the great majority of the laity renounce it, incapable of perceiving that the Prayer-book exists for the Church, and not the Church for the Prayer-book. But for the aggressive activity at this minority, the success of which would leave oar churches ri desolate as Bt. George's-in-the-East in quiet times, these liturgical questions might have remained in abeyance, but they have now acquired a moseqnswe which it is impossible to deny and folly to ignore. Canon WODREOUSI has put the hots very clearly and fairly in the concluding part of his letter to the Bishop. He says: "The essential deo " trine of the Church of England may be justly " commended as pure and scriptural; the many claims " of its Liturgy as public estimation may be fearlessly " weeded ; bat a review of the dents and the circus " stoma in which they woes compiled and brought 0 to their present state unquestionably proves this one fact—that, during all the dismission. which attended .' various alterations, never was there displayed the 0 tree spirit of charity and conciliation; never was " the attempt fairly and fully made, nor even the " design encouraged, to cowed° on non-essential " points for the sake of peace, to expunge whatever " might be justly offen.ive to week brethren, to con " eider what liberty ought in praddies se well as in " justice to be allowed to the anxious activity of the " human mind on such a subject as religion; and 0 finally, to propose such a form of doctrine and " public worship as might be at once botheatisfae •' tory and edifying to the largest possible number " of believers in a free and protestant nation."

The Univers of yesterday published the encyclical letter of the Pope, dated /annoy 19, addressed to all Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops. Bishops, and others in communion with the Apcstolio Bee. In an exordium, abundantly stuffed with the verbiage which commonly characterises inch documents, the Pope refers to his last encyclical letter of June 18, and then takes up the matter in hand as follows : • • • "But while, Venerable Brethren, your Keel and admirable love towards Us and towards this Holy See, and also the sentiments of the faith ful in general, lightened Our grief, a new canes of sadness arose in another quarter. It is on this ac count that We write these presents, in order that the sentiments of Our heart in an affair of such great importance may be clearly known to you. Recently, as many among you already know, the Parisian journal called the .fifoniteur published a letter from the emperor of the French in reply to a letter from Us, wherein we urgently prayed his Im perial Majesty to protect the integrity and inviola bility of the temporal rule of the Holy See by his moat powerful patronage in the Congress of Pa-is, and also to relieve it from a criminal rebellion. In his answer the very high emperor, referring to cer tain counsels which he had formerly given Us on the subject of the rebellious provinces under our pon tifical rale, advises Us to renounce the possession of these same provinces, because he sees in th;n renunciation the only remedy for the present tronblous st►te of affairs. Ranh of you, Venerable Brethren, must perfectly well understand that, remembering the duties imposed upon Us by Oar high charge, it was not permissible for Us to remain silent after having received this letter. Without any delay We replied to the sad emperors and oat of the apostolic liberty of Our soul We clearly and distinctly told him that We could not in any way whatever accede to his advice, for the reason that such advice involved insurmountable difficulties for Oar dignity and that of the Holy See; consider ing Our sacred character, and that the light of the ' Holy See did not appertain to the dynasty of a royal family, but to all Catholics. And at the same time We told him that We could not yield on this point, which regards not Ourselves alone, and that We per fectly understand that the victory which may be gained by the rebels of Emilia would be aa inventive to native and foreign disturbers of the pesos in Oar other provinces to commit the like crimes. And, among other things, We in formed the said emperor that We could not abdicate the aforesaid province. without violating t►re cilemn oaths by which We eve bound, without exciting complaints sod rebelliors in the mat of Oar States, without doing a wrong to all Catholics, and, in shorts without weakening the rights, not only of the princes of Italy, who have been unjustly deprivrd of their dominions, but also the rights of all princes of Christendom, Who cannot behold with indifference the introduction of certain very pernicious princi ples. We did not fail to observe that his Majesty could not but know by means of what nice, by what money, and by what support the recent crimes of rebellion bed been excited end perpe trated in Bologna, Ravenna, and other cities, while the immense majority of the people were everywhere thunderstruck by these risings, which to them were perfectly unexpeet , d,and which they are in no way whatever disportid to adhere to- And forasmuch as the most serene emperor thought that these provinces should be abdicated by Us on amount of the seditious movements which have oc curred in them from time to time, We most oppor tunely replied to him that this argument was of no value because it proved too much, since movements of a like kind had frequently taken place in other regions of Europe end elsewhere ; and everyone must see that the argument might lead to the dimi nution of the possessions of any civil governmen t whatever. We did not omit to remind the said em. peror that he had addressed to Us a letter of a very different kind before the war in Italy—a letter which brought Us consolation and not affliction. And forumuch as, according to the tenor of certain ex pressions in the imperial letter published by the aforesaid journal, We had reason to fear that Our rebellious provinces of Emilia were already regarded as separated from Our pontifical domination, We prayed his Majesty in the name of the Church, and out of regard to his own welfare and his usefolness in the world, that be would completely re►ieve Our apprehension. Moved by that paternal charity with which We must always watch for the eternal salvation of all, We reminded him that we must all one day render a strict account before the tribunal of Jesus Christ, and be subjected to most severe judgment, and that therefore we ought all to do the utmost in our power to deserve mercy rather than justice. Such, amongst others, are the things which We have said in answer to the very great emperor of the French. And We haws thought fit to communicate them to you, in order that you first, and after you the Catholic wurld, may know that by the help of God, according to the duties of Our most important ministry, We fearlessly make every effort and omit nothing in Our power courageously to defend the cause of religion and justice, to preserve inviolate and in its integrity the civil power of the Roman Church with its temporal possessions, and all those rights which are the property of the Catholic Church at large." The letter concludes by demanding the prayers end the aid in every possible manner of the ecolesisatics to whom it is addressed. In the above translation we have adopted in every case the capital letters used by the Univers. It will be seen that a typographical distinction in favour of the Pope as against the Emperor is sustained throughout. This awning the Moniteur publishes a decree of the Emperor suppressing the Univers, and stating as reasons for this measure the irritating oontroversy of this journal, by which religions opinion was dis concerted, the country agitated, and the fundamental basis on which are established the relations between the church and civil society undermined,—this journal having further published doctrines tending to resuscitate pretensions which the ancient French monarchy had always struggled against. The following report of the Minister of the Inte rior precedes the decree : " The Univers was the organ of a religious party whose pretensions were every day becoming ia more direct opposition to the privileges of the state. The incessant efforts of this party tend to dominate the French clergy, to confound the reli gions opinions, to agitate the country, and to under mine the fundamental bases on which the relations between the church and civil society are founded. This war made against our mast ancient national traditions is most dangerous to religion, which it compromises, because the French clergy have never separated their respectful submission to the Holy Bee in spiritual matters from their amiss of patriotism. The controversy of the Univers was the subject of profound grist to the clergy as well u to all good citizens." The report then says the don. trines which the Meiners would have resuscitated among us are not new. The former French monarchy continually and energetically contended against them, being sometimes supported in the struggle by the higher rank of biahops. The Emperor will not show himself less anxious than his predcceasors to cause the principles which are eoneserated by oar national tradition• to be re grated. The publisbes an article, signed by its chief editor, M. Grandguillot, expreeling re grets that the Rotnish court is still bent under the influence of Aushis es before the war. The Popo having refused to follow the .advise given by Napoleon lIL, the duty of France is fulfilled. The counsel of Franco will never be changed into menaces or compulsion. The injustice towards her is great, but it will never cause her to depart from her character of moderation and protection. France would if necessary still defend the Pope against anarchy in Rome, but should the political authority of the Holy Father be everywhere else doomed to experience another crisis, the respousL bility would not fall on the generous nation who has done everything for warding it off, and who will always be ready to grant to the Pope that support and assistance which is misapprehended to-day. PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 27th, in the Gazette du Peuple, contains the following : " We learn that the Prussian government is on the point of acceding to the treaty of commerce concluded between France and England, on condi tions which cannot but be well received by the country from commercial reasons ea well as for advantages in a political point of view." FRANCE AND SAVOY. The GazeUe de Savoie declares that not only is Savoy far from unanimous in desiring an anners tion to France, but that the great majority of iss inhabitants have pionoanosd for anion with the new monarchy under the sceptre of King Victor Emmanuel ; and that the material, moral, and politi es' interests of Savoy are with Italy. Moreover, if there should at any time be a question of separating from Piedmont—Chablais,:Fancigny, and :a portion . . _ of the Geneveee territory, amounting to nearly half the country, would vote in preference for annexation to Switzerland. _ The Courrier des Alpes (Savoy jearnal) of the Sdth was seized for an article advocating the annexa tion of Savoy to Franre. CHAMBERT, amt. 29. The Governor has declared that the Sardinian Government never had the intention of ceding Savoy to France. VENICE. Addressing the authorities at Venice a few days sines, the Lieutenant of Austria, Count Bissengen, used the following language: " Gentlemen,—Do not give way to the illnsio'i and hopes of the revolutionary party. His Majesty, with whom I had very recently the honour of con versing upon this subject, said to me,' Venice shall never be ceded, nor sold, nor separated in any way from the Austrian monarchy, nor detached from the empire, se long as we have a musket to defend it.' Gentlemen, the government will persevere with re solution in the actual system, in which there is no need whatsoever of change' It is known - by everybody in Venice that this lan guage wea used, but the demonstrations against the government increase, if possible, in boldness and number. VENICE, SATURDAY. Agitation continually prevails in Weeds. lathe coarse of one day seven officers have been attacked and wounded at Verona, and cavalry were ordered to clear the streets. Attempts have been made to hoist the tricoloured flag at Chioggia, Portoseoco, and Palestrina. ThirtreLt individuals have been arrested at Venice for insulting persons promenading in the Piersa di S. Nose while military musics was being performed. IMPORTANT CIRCULAR BY COUNT CAVOUR. TURIN, BUNDAT. On the 27th January the Minister for Foreign Affairs forwarded a circular to the Sardinian Ambas sadors abroad on the question of Central Italy. In this circular Count Cavour observes that the inhabitants of Central Italy had accepted the Con gress with confidence, but important events fol. lowed which caused its adjournment. The pamphlet, "Ls Pape et le Congris " (of which, without seeking its authorship, no one can contest the importance), the letter of Napoleon I/L to the Pope, the speech of the Queen of England, and the speech of Lord Palmerston in the House of Commons, are facts which show the impossibility of the restoration of the ancient rule in Central Italy. It is certain that the Congress will not be assembled for the present. The government of Central Italy have, under these circumstances, the important duty of giving satis faction to the legitimate requirements of the people, whose dignity and conduct have so much astonished Europe. The governments of Central Italy being satisfied on their part, wished also to satisfy these provinces by proclaiming the law of Sardinia for political elections. For the present, only announcing these facts, Count Cavour concludes by recalling that he will never fail in hie responsibility for the tranquillity of Europe and the pacification of Italy. NAPLES. PARIS, SATURDAY. Letters from Naples of the 24th instant explain the apparent contradiction in the late statements of the ministerial crisis. Galeria Filsogieri had defi nitively tendered his resignation, but leave for six weeks only was granted to him. Toe Marquis de Villamarina had been received by the King, who promised to maintain friendly rela tions with Piedmont, provided that neutrality will mutually observed. SPAIN AND MOROCCO.
