_..--~- zp~.~s R OYAL M=Mcf ENGLISH OPERA, COW:NT-GA R DEN. Meantime there is the agreeable fact before us that Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE is once more in t e House, and that he is there, as we might say o: Mr. SIMS REEVES, in capital voice, and with a I), rfect readi ness to signalise the truth that he is to the satis faction of all listeners. Of this, last evening afforded proof positive. There was a discussion going onyes terday in the Commons upon what one might reason ably have deemed to be one of the most unpromising themes in the whole world for a joke—the proposi tion moved by Mr. GLADSTONE, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the reappointment of a select committee "to inquire into the manner in which contracts extending over periods of years have from time to time been formed or modified by her MAJESTY'S Government with various steam-packet companies for the conveyance of mails by sea ; and likewise into any agreements or other arrangements which have been adopted at the public charge, actual or prospective, for the purposes of telegraphic communications beyond sea, and to report their opinion thereon to the House ; together with any recommendations as to rules to be observed hereafter by the Government in making contracts for services which have not yet been sanctioned by Parliament, or which extend over a series of years ; and to report from time to time." Where upon earth could one hope to get the ghost of a joke out of that ? But Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE did it. The House had been addressed in succession by the Chancellor o the Exchequer in support of his motion—by Sir JoIIN PAKINGTON in shrewd commentary upon it —by Sir FRANCIS BARING in defence of the course adopted 'by the committee last session—by Lord JOLIII MANNERS complaining that the committee had inquired into the conduct of private individuals in a manner which was pre-eminently unfair—when Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, with another wild shriek of liberty, celebrated his re-appearance as a debater within the walls of Parliament. Throughout his speech the House was enlivened by much hilarity —towards the close of it, nearly convulsed with laughter. As the theatrical critics used to say some thirty years ago, "We can never do without LISTON," so might the frequenters of the House of Commons declare now, " We can never do without BERNAL OSBORNE." At any rate we are heartily glad he is back there once more in the House of Commons. And how ever he may whimsically aver that, for his own part, he is exceedingly grateful to the right hon. baronet, Sir JouN PAKINGTON, for having got rid of him out of Dover, we do cordially hope that it may be long before the House of Commons is rid of him in like manner. urpinr the many enient of Miss L.

Every volunteer in the United King dom ought to have a copy of that remarkable com munication penned by General GARIBALDI and transferred from the columns of the Court Journal into our impression of yesterday. These opinions of the Great Italian Patriot, and one of the world's beat military adventurers are at once timely, and fraught in their every syllable with encourage ment. What has the Scottish Commander-in-Chief thought of such words as these from the lips of GARIBALDI ?—" As regards the volunteer force, I believe that England has done the best thing pos sible in availing herself of such an armament, and that this wise measure will render her territory impregnable against any foreign invasion. Would that my country would follow the example." Or, again :—" Above all theory in the art of warfare, one practical fact reigns triumphant—' defeat the enemy'—a truth that will always triumph over all theories." 'A remark at once illumined by the following reminiscences :—" The retreat of the most disciplined troops of Austria before the less disci plined Zouaves proves that a man may be a soldier without wearing a white tunic or a tight cravat. The shepherds of Paulus Emilius, armed only with daggers, rushing on the Macedonian phalanx, those terrible conquerors of Asia—the clouds of French Voltigeurs of the Army of the Republic—and, lastly, the Bersaglieri and Zouaves at St: Martino, Magenta, Solferino, and Palestro —prove that masses are not alone useful in battle fields, and that Volunteers, Bersaglieri, and Zouaves need not learn how to fight in close order, like troops of the line." GARIBALDI adds, of course, that " Discipline is, no doubt, the basis of the organisation of all armaments, and without it war cannot be correctly carried on ; but," he asks, " why should not volun teers, who have sworn not to abandon their stan dards during the danger of their country, have the same discipline as regular corps ?

Om To-monnow.-Morning, 6h. 44m.—Afternoon, 7h. 3m, Nothing could well have been more characteristic than Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE'S facetious re-appear ance last evening as a debater in the present Par liament. It is unnecessary then to add that nothing in its way could very well have been more delightful. The hon. and gallant gentleman has long held his place as one of the pleasantest joke-masters in the Legislature. Unlike the more deadly wit of the right hon. the leader of the Opposition, the wit of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE cor ruscates as harmlessly as sheet lightning. One can't very well perceive much the use of it—saving that it serves perhaps to clear the political atmosphere of ill-feeling, and to promote general good humour on both sides of the- •House by provoking laughter that somehow Or other,: While he is speaking, proves invariably contagious. Let Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE be but once fairly on his legs and warmed to any subject in the wile universe of things—it don't matter in the least. what—let him but have wee arm tucked under his coat tails after the approved oratorical fashion of the celebrated Mr. VicKw - tex, while the other is waving hilariously like that of an exceed ingly loose-jointed semaphore worked by some energetic novice in the old-fashioned art of tele graphing, and we would confidently wager that the most smileless man in the house would find some difficulty, as the phrase is, in keeping his countenance. The only really vexatious peculiarity about the hon. gentleman as a debater, or (which is pretty much the same thing in his instance) as a Parliamentary droll is this, that whenever he has obtained what by hiS talents he eminently well merits a place of any sort in the administration, hel bears at once a curious resemblance—we won't Say by any means to a Jack in office, but to that favourite toy of children known as a Jack-in-the box. When he is fairly got into it he is shut up ! nave we no recollection any of us of the immediate result of the breaking up of Lord PALM—iItSTON'S last Government ? The lid off—Jack was up in an instant. The apparition had all the effect of a re freshing surprise, and Mr. Dlsua ELI congratulated the hon. gen tl eman upon h av i ng no t only f oun d hi s voice again,b u t upon leaving celebrated the finding Of it by the reverberations of that " wild shriek of liberty." Fortunately for the frequenters of the House of Commons and for the - lab3rious readers of the debates, M r. BERNAL ' OSBORNE is now like one of those Scotch wagsheis so fond of quoting—" Bock again." And still more fortu nately for them both, he is ne longer it is Secretary at at the Admiralty. There is a fear, so me quarters that he may perchance b e selected in in a d a y or two by the noble Viscount the Fi rst L ord of the Treasury as the Chief Commissione r of the People's Parks and of the Royal Palaces, in the place left vacant by the untimely and lamented demise of the Right Hon. HENRY FITZROY. But then at least we should prohibly have the consola tion that in losing the most amusing talker in the ;tornmons, as such, we should in all likelihood Vain in post wonderfully requiring it Oa efficient and sagacious administrator, tional troops ? Certainly they are not despicable, since, in every war, a wise chief derives advantages from them in his harangues and his proclamations ; and the First NAPOLEON, who was master of half Europe, and the best army in the world, was defeated by the patriotism of the English so-called shopkeepers, of whom he appeared to have no great opinion." What is General GARIBALDI'S ultimate view, then, of our Volunteer Movement ? It is this—" If Great Britain organises," he says, [she has already, by the way, even now or ganised ♦ery nearly 100,000] volunteers, " her 200,000 will form the nucleus of a million of armed patriots, in case of need, if she continues to train them (and that will not be difficult for the English), so that they become as disciplined as regular troops —we shall then see who will dare to invade the asylum of all, and the protectress of the universe." Those words are of themselves a suffi cient set-off for the sneer of Lord MELVILLE. But to return to GARIBALDI'S letter, we there find the following all-important consideration.): —" I believe," 'writes the General, " that the theory of great regularity of the masses and lines is generally carried too far, and that the open order of battle is too much neglected, as it has become necessary, through the perfection of fire-arms, and through the obstacles that cultivation has accumulated at every step." Adding, "If there is a country in Europe that has served for fields of battle, and continues to do so, that country is certainly and, unfortunately, Italy. How many places are there in Italy where a squadron formed in a line, or a regiment in square, could fight ? I believe that there are very few. On the other hand, places may be found in all directions which aro adapted to the Bersag lieH. In short, I think that several lines of Ber saglieri sustained by a few masses of troops, would be the most convenient order of battle in our country, and in many others ; and that volun teers can be adapted, for this end, to the same kind of manceuvres as the troops of the line." The ItalianCondottiere thereupon refutes the argument recently put forth by one of the most skilled and experienced of all English soldiers now living, the argument, we mean, advanced by Sir JOIIN BI RGOYNE in the initial number of Mr. THACKE RAY'S brilliant I•Cornhia Magazine :—"I have read," 'writes th e Conqueror o f th e Aus trians, " the valuable paper by Sir JOHN BURGOYNE, on volunteers ; and, although I do not know enough English, and have not had the time to form a thorough judgment upon it, it seems to me to be the work of an intelligent soldier, who has seen many fields of battle. Ido not, how ' ever, agree with him that 50,000 veterans will defeat 100,000 volunteers, if the latter have the dis cipline that all troops ought to have; and that they are, as may be imagined, animated by the ) love of their country:" He frankly admits—" I do not yet know the way in which the English volunteers are organised ; but I believe, however, that for volunteers, in all countries, the training of the Bersaglieri is the best. The lightness of their uniform, the open order that forms the basis of their manceuvering, without hindering them from acting in masses, when the occasion presents itself, and, above all, the swiftness of their movements, make them the most perfect soldiers I have known." And he concludes by avowing emphatically " I wish that all the Italian army was composed of Bersaglieri ; and I do not doubt that such an organisation would also be easily attainable by English volunteers, English soldiers having obtained the reputation of intrepidity and coolness under fire." Only just such a comment as this of General GARIBALDI'S upon the Volunteer Movement was required to complete tho incentives to that more perfect orga nisation of our National Defences, the first and I foremost of which incentives was the Tyrtwan call to arms by the voice of the laureate TENNYSON. BA l'lll ARKET THEATRE. ATEST Miss Amy Sedgwick has renewed her engage ment at this theatre for a brief period, and last night made her appearance as Mrs. Haller in the " Stranger." This is the first time this lady has appeared in this once favourite role, but it is need less to say she must have played it frequently in the provinces, and is quite at home in it. The ad mirers of Miss Sedgwick are numerous, and she is sure to please her audience, or the majority of them, and if she does not carry them along in a whirl of admiration, as the great performers of our earlier days did, still sho is sure to touch the fount of sym pathetic tears, and to give sufficient effect to all the well-known points.

The Paris journals publish the following mes• " CHAMBERY, MONDAY: Yesterday the party hostile to a cession of Savoy to France made a demonstration. Nearly 250 persons assembled from all parts of Savoy at the request of the residents of Chambery, and asked information from the governor as to whether it was the intention of the King of Sardinia to cede Savoy to France. The governor replied that the King would not willingly cede the province. This statement was received with some cries of Vive le Roi ." A large number of Republicans are known to be acting in the matter, actuated by hatred of France and the Imperial dynasty. " The population were complete strangers to the demonstration which took place in the. street. At the theatre in the evening not one lady was pre sent. " Judging by the results of the demonstration, it appears that the feeling of the populace at Cham bery was Conservative and sympathetic with France." BERLIN, JAN. 30. It is asserted that the arrangement between France and Sardinia respecting the cession of Savoy was agreed upon previous to the war in Italy, and was to be executed in case Austria should entirely evacuate Italy. It was alto agreed that Chablais, Faucigny, and Geneva should be ceeaed to Switzerland. FLORENCE, JAN. 28. Baron Ricasoli,i4presenting flags to the National Guard, delivered a long address, in which he said : " We require great prudence and large forces to preserve our independence. A great deal remains to be done. The annexation of the provinces of Italy to Piedmont is necessary to guarantee Italian nationality, the defence of which has become a common duty." PARIS, JAN. 30. Count Cavour's visit to Paris has been tempora. rily postponed. PARIS, MONDAY. We regret to announce the death of the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, which event took place at Nice on Sunday afternoon at half-past one. The Moniteur, in giving this melancholy intelligence, says :—" This sad occurrence, which causes profound sorrow to the Emperor, was anticipated for some days. The Duke of Hamilton, son-in-law of the Grand Duchess, had arrived on the previous evening ; the Princess Mary, her daughter, suffer ing from grave indisposition, was not able to join her; and her other daughter, the Princess de Hohen zbllern, only reached Marseilles on her way to Nice. The Emperor had sent Dr. Corvisart to the Grand Duchess, and he was able, in compliance with her wish, to prescribe. General Roguet, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, has left Paris to accompany the mortal remains of the Grand Duchess through France to the frontier of Baden." The deceased princess was cousin to Napoleon 111. Her maiden name was Stephanie de Beauharnais, and she was niece of the Empress Josephine, and the adopted daughter of Napoleon I. Born in 1789, she was married in 1806 to Prince Louis Frederick of Baden. The Grand Duchess, at the time of her death, was in her 71st year.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 31, 1860. - BOW SHALL WE MOVE FOR THE BALLOT? TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Cordially agreeing with you that now is the time to press for the ballot, I must be allowed to express my dissent from your advice as to the•way in which it should be brought before Parliament. It appears to me that a motion for leave to in troduce a bill is the proper course. Logically the question given the constituent body—How can it best exercise the right of voting ? is entirely dis tinct from the questions, Who shall have the vote ? and What places shall send members to Parlia ment ? It appears to me, as Mr. Cobden recom mended at Roehdale, that these matters should form the subject of separate bills; for instance, it would be far easier to pass a bill extending the suffrage, pure and simple, than a bill whick should also ex tend the suffrage and redistribute the seats. You would have the Liberal members voting in a body for that measure ; but mix up that bill with sche dules of enfranchisement and disfranchishment, and the whole question becomes involved in a con flict of personal and local interests, which will im pede the progress of the measure, and possibly— not improbably—defeat it altogether on the third reading. Precisely the same reasoning applies to the se paration of the ballot from the other questions. If the ballot be presented to the House in a pure and simple form those of its supporters in Parlia ment who are always glad of an excuse to shirk their support—and they are many—cannot shrink from saying " Aye" or " No" to the question— Shall there be the ballot ? But if it is put as Mr. Wyld attempted last year, as an amendment to a Reform Bill, you give all these gentlemen an excuse for absenting themselves from the division, and also bring against you the votes of numerous Whigs, such, for instance, as Mr. Brand, the whipper-in, and Mr. St. Aubyn, the mover of the Address this session, who would hesitate to give a direct Tote against the ballot, but will venture to do so when they can shelter themselves under the plea of the ballot being made an obstruction to good measures. An examination of the division on Mr. Wyld's ad dition, and reference to the speeches of men like Mr. Scholofield, who declare that though supporting the ballot they will not peril the Government Reform Bill because it does not include it, affords abundant proof of what I say. The effect of bringing forward the ballot at a crisis when the forces of both parties are whippecb'in to a great party division, is only to increase the majority against it. Had all the 238 members of the late Parliament who were pledged to the ballot been present, and voted with Mr. Wyld, the majority against the motion would have been 383, far ex ceeding any former majority against it. Such a result would have been no encouragement to the friends of the ballot. Those acquainted with the management of proceedings in the House of Com mons will concur with me that it is far easier to secure a debate and a good division on a motion for leave to bring in a bill, than if the ballot were intro duced in the shape of an instruction to the Com mittee prior to the Speaker's leaving the chair. As to moving clauses in committee, although that may perhaps be done by way of protest if the motion for leave be rejected, it is, I think, clear that it would be almost impossible to obtain a fair discussion of the question in committee, and I know the difficulty of securing the attendance of members in the uncertainty which always at tends the proceedings in committees of the whole House. Another reason why I deprecate mixing up the ballot with the. Reform Bill discussions is brie my mind of considerable weight. Many sup porters of the ballot, while they support it, deem it of minor importance to the extension of the fran chise and the redistribution of seats. I differ from these gentlemen, but I should be sorry to give them occasion to say or think that the ballot was put forward in opposition to, or in a manner likely to em barrass the passing of a measure dealing with their favourite questions. On these grounds I cordially acquiesce in the decision come to by the council of the Ballot Society—it was the unanimous vote of the members present, and agreed with the opinions expressed by a majority of the letters read from absent members. The tone of the speeches both in the council and at the public meeting showed that no desire to con sult Whig prejudices, or the convenience of the Government, or any motive but the practical object of obtaining the greatest number of Parliamentary votes—is the guiding principle of the leaders of the movement.

LYCEUM THEATRE. Last night, the long-expected dramatic version of Mr. Dickens's story, "A Tale of Two Cities," was produced at this theatre, and on the occasion every available seat in the house was filled long before the rising of the curtain. From the an- nouncement of the piece we had some doubts whether " A Tale of Two Cities." though in itself pre-eminently dramatic, might not present difficul ties almost insuperable to its being very effectively dramatised ; and the production has confirmed us in that belief, although everything that Mr. Tom Taylor could do has been done to render it successful. Of course, the story of the plot is so well known to most of our readers that it would really be waste of time to give a de tailed description of it. It will be sufficient, therefore, on the present occasion if we notice some of the alterations necessarily required in a story extending over so long a space of time. First and foremost, all that part of the tale relating to London has been entirely omitted, therefore, properly speaking, the drama ought to have been called " A Tale of a City," as the whole of the ac- tion is laid in Paris. Then the character of Miss Pross, a very important personage in the book, has been altogether omitted, and the death of Madame Defarge so summarily managed, that many of the audience were not at all pleased with " the effect." The play commences with a sort of prologue, which takes place in an old house outside Paris (this incident we get nearly at the conclusion of the book), in one of the rooms of which two heartless aristocrats—the Marquis St. Evremond and his younger brother —are coldly awaiting the death of one of their betrayed and ♦iolated victims (Colette), for whom the professional services of Dr. Mannette have been secured. On death releasing the poor girl from her sufferings, the Marquis proposes to pur- chase the silence of the doctor, who, however, re fuses to pledge himself to secrecy, and the Marquis having a blank lettre de cachet, silently fills up the document with the name of Dr. Mannette, who, instead of being taken home, is secretly conveyed to the Bastille. A lapse of 20 years is supposed to occur previous to the second act, which opens in one of the splen did salons of the Marquis St. Evremond, to whom the rescue of Dr. Mannette is related. Then fol- low some of the most striking incidents in the original story, viz., the breaking of the wipe cask in the Faubourg St. Antoine, the in terview between the rescued prisoner Man- nette and his daughter, the revolutionary dance of the Carmagnole, the trial of Charles Darney, and the conveyance of Sidney Carton to the guillotine, which concludes the drama. The part of the Marquise of St. Evremond was sustained by Mr. Walter Lacy, but his conception of the part appears to us to be altogether a mistake. Mr. Lacy makes the marquis a conventional stage fop, whereas in the work he is minutely described as a man of implacable feeling, cold as marble, in short, the beau ideal of a nobleman of the ancien regime. If we cannot say he acted the part cor rectly, we can, with truth, say he looked the part completely. Mr. Villiers (Sidney Carton) was very much better. He evidently had taken pains with his part, and richly merited the applause he elicited. The portrayal of Dr. Mannette fell ,to Mr. James Vining, and with all respect to him as a careful actor, we must say that he did not realise the character drawn by Dickens. His acting was exceedingly, not to say painfully slow, and the scene from which we had expected so much, vie., the interview between him and his daughter, was entirely spoiled, owing to the length of time he took in over-elaborating his return to conscious. ness. Mr. T. Lyon's Jasper Lorry was highly ar tistic, and pleased us greatly. The part, however, which secured the honour of the evening among the male characters was Jerry Cruncher, by Mr. Rouse. His make-up as the reformed body-snatcher was admirable, and his acting quite equal to it. Alias Kate Saville, as Lucy Marinette, acted with a sweet womanly feeling but rarely now-a-days witnessed on the stage, as the style and her exertions were rewarded with very great applause. To Madame Celeste l the the this adaptorgreatadmirable m weight of the piece been con fided, has not over-estimated the nt s irable artiste. Her acting— both as the dying girl Colette and the woman of the revolution, Madame Defarge—was intense. This lady's talent was universally acknowledged to be great in the dramas of " Janet Pride" and "The Green Bushes," but her embodiment of the parts allotted to her in this drama far outrivals all her past efforts—great as they have been. Having spoken of the acting of the play, we now pass to what is technically termed " the getting up." From first to last the master hand of.the talented directress is present—witness the admirable manner in which the first scene is ar ranged. Th e n, again, the wild, disorderly manner in which the infuriated mob fill the stage, and afterwards go through the revolutionary dance, "The Carmagnole," in the wine shop of Defarge. Nothing could possibly convey a better idea of the scenes enacted during the Reign of Terror than this and the scene, the trial of Charles Darney. succeeding s l u l e ed d r i e lag dresses, properties, and effects are splendid; and, when the piece is compressed within proper limits (the three acts last night consuming three hours and forty minutes), a long and success ful run may be safely reckoned upon. Amidst much applause, Madame Celeste an nounced the piece for repetition every evening until further notice. ASTLEY'S AMPIIITIIEATRE. Mr. Cooke's farewell benefit last night attracted an enormous audience, by whom the retiring manager was received with enthusiastic applause. The entertainments commenced with the last act of the tragedy of " Richard the Third," which some short time since was produced here, and was received with such rapturous approbation that it had the unprecedented run of 94 consecutive nights, and concluded with the celebrated " Scenes in the Circle," during which Mr. William Cooke then entered the ring mounted on his beautiful black steed, and went through some movements of the Flaute Ecole, in which he showed the wonderful control he had over the noble animal which he rode. In acknowledgment of the enthusiastio re ception given to him, and the patronage bestowed upon him, he made the following brief address :-- " Ladies and Gentlemen, —Allow me to return you my sincere thanks for the kind and liberal pa tronage which you have displayed towards me this evening." (Applause.) The pantomime of " Harlequin Tom Moody" closed tho entertainments, amidst the hearty laughter of the youthful members of the audience. CEYLON.—An unusually rainy December had caused much anxiety to the coffee curers of Colombo, who received the berries in a wet state from the interior, and found it a most difficult task to dry them. The shipments of coffee had, nevertheless, been by no means inconsiderable. The sittings of the Legislative Council had closed, and the Governor had quitted Colombo for the cool regions of the interior.—Boineward hail. _ _ We hear it mentioned as very probable that the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the organi sation of the great military departments, originally moved for by Captain Vivian, and re-appointed last session at the suggestion of the present Secretary of State for War, will not receive any additional evidence this session, but will meet for the purpose of considering their report.

The following letter has been received in Paris from Perugia, in the Papal States, dated Jan. 23 : "You desired that I should visit the Marshes and the Legations, to give you a circumstantial account of public opinion in those places. I determined to commence my journey by Perugia, public rumour pretending that serious events had occurred in that direction. The report was false, nothing remark able has taken place here. Perugia is gloomy, and gives no sign of life. It never was gay, but it bears a more desolate appearance since the events of which it was the theatre ; twenty at least of the first families have left for Florence, and it is impossible to deny that the majority of the inhabitants are hostile to the Papal Government. They are waiting the course of events, and they are convinced that a revolution is not distant. Political news is whispered from ear to ear. Besides authentic news, the most absurd reports are propag ated. The most insignificant stranger attracts attention, and everybody W l * , b. he a spy or a rev olUtionary agent ? The garris , which is composed of 2,000 men, half cp.valrjr and half infantry, with a park of artillery, ant on very bad terms with the inhabitants. .k cafe, formerly the most frequented, having been chosen by the officers, lost all its other customers. The inhabitants have not only deserted the theatre, but they have caused it to be closed. Some wealthy families subscribed among them as much as the director o f the theatre could ex p ect to gain by keeping t he theatre open, and they gave th e money to him, saying at the same time, now go away. This is what is called wearing m o • urning. The garrison is a mixture of all nations—Swim, French (even Parisians), Germans, Poles, Spaniards, Italians, Piedmontese, and Belgians. I might men tion a young Venetian nobleman just left this, who deserted three times. The word of command is given in French. The discipline is extremely severe, and the inhabitants, who detest the soldiers, admit that they have no cause to com plain of them. There are no longer any of the Swiss companies here who captured the town. General Schmidt, the governor, has just published a proclamation, announcing that anybody propagat ing false news shall be tried by court-martial. The amusements of the Carnival are to be permitted as in former years. In fact, the instructions sent from Rome to the authorities here recommend that the inhabitants be treated with the greatest mode ration, and many transgressions are to be passed over. Foreigners are not at all tormented by the police, in fact, there aro scarcely any police. Strangers are not even asked to show their pass ports at the frontier on returning from Tuscany, I have seen with pleasure that travellers' luggage is examined with perfect politeness, and no hand is held up to receive money as in other parts of A letter from Rome, of the 25th says : " On the receipt of the news of the change o. Ministry at Turin, the chiefs of the Libera party resolved to get up a demonstration as an answer to those recently organised by the cleri cal party; and accordingly, in the evening of the 20th, a crowd assembled in the Piazze. Colonna, where the evening retreat for the French garrison is sounded. After the first roll of the drums, about 40 men raised a loud cry of Viva Napoleone !' Some French gendarmes, who had been ordered to prevent all demonstration, if possible, but not to arrest any one, told the leader of the band to be silent ; but the man answered, I cried " Long live Napoleon !" and I cry again" Long live Napoleon !" ' The drum mers and trumpeters having as usual commenced their march towards the residence of the French general, the crowd followed, repeating the same cry. On reaching the Corso, well-dressed people came in numbers from the different streets, and joined the crowd in crying again and again Viva Napo leone ! Viva la Fratzcia ! Viva Italia ! Viva Vit tore Etnnzanuele ! A French military band, which had been playing in the Piazza Colonna, was made to march rapidly through the crowd, in the hope of dispersing it, but the multitude followed it to a considerable distance, raising the same cries; after which a large number of persons re-assembled in the Corso, and remained for some time applauding the French Emperor and France." The same letter states that in the morning of the 24th the heads of nine religious orders waited on the Pope and presented him with an address expressing their devotedness. SARDINIA. The Of'lda! Gazette of Turin of the 27th instan' publishes the following : Victor Emmanuel, &c. On the proposal of our Minister Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, baying consulted our Council of Ministers, we have ordained and ordain as follows : " Art. I. The Government of the King is autho rised to give full and complete execution to the treaty concluded between Sardiniti and France, and to that concluded between Saidinia, Austria, and France, both signed at Zurich on Nov. 10 last, and the ratifications of which were exchanged on the 21st of the same month. " Art. 11. The present decree will be presented to Parliament, to be converted into a law. " We ordain the present decree, signed with the seal of State, to be placed among the archives of the Government. " Given at Turin, Dec. 10. 1859. (Signed) " VICTOR EMMANUEL. (Countersigned) " DABORMIDA." SPAIN AND MOROCCO. The Commander-in-Chief of the army in Africa has sent the following despatch to the Minister of :- " ENCAMPMENT OF FUAD-EL•FELU, Jan. 23, 7 30 p.m. " With a view to protect the works of the ad vanced redoubt, I placed this morning at the avant garde one battalion, two squadrons, and four guns, under the orders of Brigadier Villate. " The enemy, in considerable strength, descended from the positions they occupied, and attempted to surround our men. The troops beat to arms, and, overcoming all the difficulties of tb e ground, marched against the enemy with their usual bravery. How ever, but a very small portion of the troops was re quired to beat the enemy in every direction. The combat was chiefly maintained by a battalion of infantry of the Rios Division, which, formed in square, drove back the enemy's cavalry ; by a battalion of the 3d Corps; two squadrons of cavalry who chargud with the greatest bravery, and cap tured a standard of the Morocco army ; and by the artillery. On this day distinguished themselvss more particularly—General Garcia; General Rios, who ordered his battalion to form square, and took his place inside it ; General Galiano and General Usturiz ; as also Brigadier Romero Palamegne, who charged with the cavalry. The loss of the enemy was very considerable ; they were cut up by the ar tillery, which fired with remarkable precision, I am not able to give a correct return of our loss, which I estimate at three or four killed and 20 to 25 wounded." ALGESIRAS, SAN. 24, 1.15 p.m. " The enemy attacked the encampment in large force about noon : the Moors were completely driven back by our troops, whose bravery was what it has always been. Our artillerymen decimated skilfully the ranks of the enemy's cavalry every time it at tempted to attack our left. The landing of ammu nition for the artillery and infantry, and of provi sions, continues actively. The weather is fine ; the wind from the west. The ships are firing salutes in honour of the. Prince of the Asturias." HUNGARY. The following letter from Pes th,d dated considerable Jan. 25 says :—" A sign of the times' of im portance is that several Hungarian officers in the Austrian army have resigned, in order not to be in any way on the Austrian side in the conflict which is believed to be impending. Another sign, of not less serious import is, that the Austrian Govern ment prohibits the officers of regiments serving i n Hungary from marrying Hungarian girls. The object of the prohibition is ofcourse to prevent these officers from having any family ties in Hungary, so that, should the struggle coine r they may act . with greater freedom against the Hungarians; but the cleverness of the Viennese Government seems likely in this matter to overreach itself, inasmuch as several officers, either from being in dignant at the unwarranted interference with their private sentiments, or from other causes, have re signed, and others are expedielto do the same. " Notwithstanding the vehement opposition of the Protestants to the patent of the Ist of Sep tember, which destroys the rights and liberties - of the Ptbtestant Churen& the Austrian Go vdrninent has just iikeir a circular to its functionaries, directing 1 j ! patent shall be carried into effect; and tl3 consequence, the ProtesiaritE shall proceed forthwith to make the election, and do alUthe q, other Matters enjoined by it, under.pain of lacing deprive d of the few privi leges the patent leaves thorn, and of being otherwisei punished. The circular is'drawn up in a coarse and even brutal style, and Awn - s purposely intended to examkratg the Hungarians, by " adding insult to injtV--In enforci ng th e hated patent, the Viennese g overnment, faithful to its instinct, which telis9th~t it must divide in order to govern, hope to ks,eogAvision among the Protestants, by detach ing front the bulk the faint-hearted, who would submit to anything for the sake of securing peace and avoiding trouble. What has caused this hope is, that one Protestant clergyman of the name of Hodzza, a known agent of Austria, is endeavour ing to induce the Protestants of the Selavonian race who reside in the north to accept the patent. But Hodzza enjoys little esteem, and is proverbially un. successful in his enterprises. In 1848, for example, when all the nation was on foot to overthrow the Austrian domination, he endeaToured to get up an uc army' to defend that domination, but he only t ceeded in collecting a set of ragged followers with whom Falstaff would not have marched through Coventry ; and neither they nor he' ventured. to show fight. In making use of such a personage, who is distrusted by all Hungarians, the Austrian Government shows to what sore straits it is, driven. It may, perhaps, be rendering a service to the few simple-minded people‘ who follow Hodzza's teach ing, to state that not only in politics does he descend to be the agent of Austria, but he is not even a Protestant in religion—his Protestant ism being a mere disguise. By the way, is it not singular that the Austrian Government, in spite of all its power and influence, has only been able to find in all Hungary two men of the sacer dotal order who have consented to do it service— Michael Haas among Catholics, and the soi-disant Protestant Hodzza ?" "The national movement gains strength everyday. Newspapers to support it are being established everywhere—Arad, Baja, Gyor, Szeged, and Terms war have, in addition to numerous other towns, now got newspapers of their own, which are vehemently anti-Austrian, and (the same thing as anti-Austrian) enthusiastically national ; and lijvidek, Pecs, Nagy-Kanizsa, and other places are about to start journals. In the county of Pesth the Servian and Croat youth have been ' fraterniz ing' in grand style with the Hungarian youth, and have solemnly bound themselves to stand by Hun gary. This oath-taking is certainly a little thea trical, but it shows the spirit which now animate all the small nationalities which are dependent on Hungary. That spirit is, as I have more than once had occasion to tell you, deadly animosity to Aus tria ; and when it breaks forth not only will Hun gary be free but the reign of the Hapsburgs will, according to all appearances, be at an end." SCOTCH CLERGYMEN AND THE ENGLISH CHURCH-BISHOP TAIT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I understand from quarters bath public and private which are likely to be well-informed on such subjects,that in the Church of England there is the greatest possible difficulty in obtaining accept- able curates, and that clergymen have often to wait long before they can secure suitable fellow-workers. Then the Church of England, I hesitate not to say, ought to devise liberal measures, and carry out these measures into practical working, and it is not unlikely that this difficulty might, at least to some extent be removed. Permit me to make a simple statement—l am, or rather was, a Presbyteria n clergyman, but my views have for some time past undergone a change in favour of Episcopacy. After very considerable hesitancy I did apply to sever al of the Bishops of England for admission into the Church. I instructed the right rev. prelates as Ito the character of my education. I stated that I hstd attended the Glasgow University eight years —four of these years were devoted to classical, mathemati cal and philosophical learning—the other four-to theology, didactically, polemically; and practically viewed. I further added that I had received ordi nation, and. for a time served a church ; also, th at my doctrinal sentiments were in accordance with the Church of Scotland. In addition, I stated that I oould furnish unexceptionable documents bearing en character and general professional qualifications. The sins qua non of every answer I received was, that clerical admission could be conceded only on the proviso that I attended some English College or University. This lat once decidedly refused to db, and the simple ground of refusal was that I would consider myself degraded by doing any such thing. I had been found fully qualified by another Church as competent in all respects to judge of literary and theological qualification as the Church of England. I next applied to several clergymen whose adrer- tisements appeared in the newspapers, presuming that some of them might have influence with their diocesans, but here also I failed. The list adver tisement I answered was the late Rev. Mr. Mor ley's, vicar of Aylesbury ; from this truly godly and warm-hearted man I received several comur - , nications, breathing the purest religion and the greatest good-Will, and at the same time informieg „ me that he would employ all the influence he could command to secure my admission into the CIO' He accordingly wrote once and again to his' bil ll °P , the late Dr. Kaye, of Lincoln, but his invariable answer was, I must attend an English University. I can never forget the disinterested kindness of thio excellent clergyman. I never saw him—he wee-to me a total stranger. It was with the deepest regret I was informed of his death—" To live is Christ. and to die is gain." Copies of the bishop's letters were sent me, but they are as cold as ice. Is it aril wonder, I ask, that applicants from other churchas should hesitate to seek admission into the Church of England ?—" I fear not." Several clergymen having been informed of till unfortunate result of my repeated applications, have waited on me and made inquiries as to whe ther I had applied to Dr. Tait, the esteemed Bishop of London, and made my case known to him. I said I had not, and the reason I assigned was that I fen so hurt at the icy way in which my former applici lions had been so summarily disposed of by one an 4 all of the bishops to whom I had applied, that f$ was with the greatest possible difficulty I could' make up my mind to renew my application to an,' one, unless something in the shape of a promise of succeeding was held out. I have already submitted to degradation enough to descend further. Scots men, it is said, are proud; it may be so (I neither affirm the averment nor deny it), but in my case, and under the peculiar and anomalous circumstance, I consider it a commendable pride. H av ing adverted to the respected bishop's name, perhaps Imlay be permitted to state, in reference to that gentlenian's elevation to the episcopal bend}, that the Scottish Metropolis, and the Edinburgh Academy very greatly rejoice. It was in this educational institute that his lordship received the rudiments of that learning which has ranked him among the first classical scholars of the age. Glee gow University, that ancient seat of learning (n 7 own alma mater), bids YOU turn up her venera* records, and with gratulation points to the name. 0 1 Tait, as, one of her most distinguished alumni. OaG ford puts on the cope-stone with shoutings of ao claim; and the Metropolitan See of the south not enjoys the spiritual out-goings of his gifted mind and scholarly accomplishments. We of Scotland rejoice in the honour of having sent forth so ripe iF scholar and so able a theologian. May he be long spared under God to advance the cause of that divine Master he has so manifestly at heart, and bls eminently instrumental hi furthering the spirittO and moral benefits of that holy Apostolic Churcl!, of which he is so distinguished an ornament. I am morally persuaded that were the heads of the Church to devise more liberal measures, em!' sions would speedily be made from other churches to the English establishment, by men whose mort4, intellectual, and theological superiority would re fleet lustre on the Church, and under God's gray bo powerfully promotive in the advancement of* sound scriptural and spiritual evangel. The Kirk of Scotland has at length awoke from the slumber of a century, and again put on her beautiful gar' ments, and from her 1,000 pulpits are now issuin# forth, not as in the old time, a cold and lifeless moderation, but a blessed and evangelical theologt deeply imbued with the statements of the Gospe f and breathing a divine and heavenly tone. Th! United Presliyterian and Free Churches, and 00' other minor denominations are acting up to the spirit and requirements of the tithe, " and ll pressing to the mark for the judge of the hi gh calling." The Church universal imperatively d& mends it, the world needs it, and the Macedonisv cry is again being heard, as in the ancient day! , " Come over and help us."—l am, &c., Edinburgh, Jan. 27. W. P.
