" It has been said," says M. de Vincke, " that the Papal State is adobstacle to the unity of Italy. I maintain that the temporal power of the Pope is baneful to the Church. It has been said that it is in the interests of Germany that Austria should still hold .Venetia. It is said that German com merce will suffer by the loss of Venetia. The whole question may be reduced to this : " Italy without Venice will always be under the thumb of France, and consequently will be a con tinual cause for war in Europe, because Italy with out Venice will be an incomplete and vulnerable State, always trying to close its wounds.' " As long as Venetia is not united to Italy Aus tria can always threaten Lombardy. All that we ask from our Government is not to make hasty promises in fadour of Austria. The foreign policy of France, which was the same under the Republic as under the Empire in this question, proves that France had no interest in Italy acquir itrg Venetia,—that she does not desire a strong Italy. She will offer her hand to Austria, which Austria will willingly grasp, and give her Venetia for the left bank of the Rhine." M. de Vincke concluded in the following wordi: i, by isign. vice MR.

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY. — The recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountab l e that so many marriages, contracted nn der circumstances apparently auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock had passionately loved each other. It the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school, and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state. It is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou , sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there be not something in his past life which admits of the possi bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting the quarter from whence assistance's sought. Dr. LA'MERT is the only legally qualified practitioner on the Medical Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to the treatment of a peculiar class of infirmities incidental to youth and maturity.

Sir John was born in 1776, and was therefore in his 85th year at the time of his death. He was the son of Mr. Joseph Lord, by Corbetta, daughter of Lieutenant-General Owen, who was the second son of Sir Arthur Owen, third baronet of Orielton. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, B.A. 1804, M.A. 1807, according to a book professing to give an account of county families, but he was called to the bar un doubtedly in 1800, four years before this book admits that he took a degree. He married first, at Gretna-green, in 1800, Charlotte, daughter of the Rev. J. L. Phillips, who died Sept. 1, 1829 ; secondly, Oct. 21, 1830, Mary Frances, second daughter of Mr. Edward Stephenson, of Farley Hill, Berks. By his first wife he had issue one son and four daughters, by his second three sons and one daughter, of whom three sons and four daughters survive him. His eldest son Hugh suc ceeds to the title and estates. Of the daughters, Charlotte married, in 1819, Mr. John Meares, of Eastington, Pembroke, and died July 2, 1852 ; Maria married, in 1830, Mr. Edward Marcus White, of Hotham, Yorkshire ; Ellen married, in 1831, Mr. G. B. J. Jordan of Pigeonsford, Cardiganshire ; and Eliza married, in 1831, Mr. Charles Porcher Lang, of Sandrock, Surrey. Of the children by the second marriage, William, born in 1831, was a lieutenant in the 23d Welsh Fusiliers, and was killed in the trenches before Sebastopol June 29,1855. Sir John is one of the veterans of Parliament. He sat for Pembroke county from 1806 to .1841, and has since 1841 represented the Pembroke boroughs. Up to 1845 he was reckoned as a Tory. In 1845,, how ever, he supported the Maynooth grant, arid in 1846 the repeal of the corn laws. He voted for Lord Derby's budget in 1852, but against Lord Derby's Reform Bill in 1859. He is now put down by Dod as " a Liberal," and kis son and heir contested Pembrokeshire a few weeks ago on Liberal principles. Sir John has not taken an active part in debates, exeept on Welsh sub jects ; as for instance, in 1830, when he determi nately opposed Sir Robert Peel in his successful measure for amalgamating the Welsh courts of judicature with the English—the ,opposition ema nating, singularly enough, from Welshmen, aided by Lord G. Bentinck, Mr. O'Connell, Sir Charles Wetherell, and Sir Robert Inglis. When 'he stood in the Conservative interest for Pembroke he was opposed not only by a Mr. J. M. Child, a Liberal, but by his own son and heir in the Conservative interest also. Since that year he heti been unopposed. The Pembroke district comprises Pembroke, Tenby,, Wiston, and Milford, the first three having formed the " borough" from 1536 to 1832, when Milford was added to them. Dod says t:hat the chief in fluence is possessed by the Owens,l who have re turned one member since the Restoration." At Wiston, however, the Earl Cawdor, and at Milford Mr. Fulke Greville, and the late Lord Milford's family, " have influence of a secondary kind." Sir John was lord-lieutenant of Pembrokeshire and governor of Milford Haven. He inherited the estates of Orielton when Mr. John Lord, a barrister at-law, on the death of his kinbman, Sir Hugh Owen, Bart., August 5, 1809, and was created a baronet, Jan. 12, 1813. The original baronetcy of the 0 wens was conferred in 1641, and became ex tinct on the death, in 1851, of Sir William Owen Barlow, who was nephew to the late Sir John's mother. Sir Hugh Owen and the late Sir John, who inherited his estates, were both great grand sons, one paternally, the other maternally, of Sir Arthur, third baronet of 1611. The Owens are said to trace their descent from Hwfa ap Cynddelw, lord of Llys, Llifon, Anglesey, who was contempo rary with Owen Gwynedd, Prince of Wales. Sir John Owen is succeeded by Hugh, his eldest son, now second baronet. He was born in 1803, and married, April 12, 1825, Angelina Cecilia, 'daughter of Sir Charles Gould Morgan, Bart., sister of Lord Tredegar (who died Sept. 4, 1844), and has issue by her three sons and four daughters. He sat as Conservative M.P. for the Pembroke boroughs, from 1832 to 1838, when he made way for Sir James Graham, who had been ousted from East Cumberland ; Major Francis Aglionby and Mr. William James, both Liberals, being returned for the division. There is little doubt that he will succeed his venerable father in the seat. 7HE D_EBATE IN THE PRUSSIAN CHAMI3ERS. By a majority of 159 to 146 the Prussian Cham ber has adopted the motion of M. de Vincke, that " It is not in the interest of Prussia or Germany to place obstacles in the way of the consolidation of the Unity of Italy." This vote of the Prussian Chamber has already appeared in our columns. We now subjoin the speech of the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Sehleinitz, and that of M. de Vineke. Baron von Sehleinitz gave the following explana- Aons:-- " As many speakers have expressed their opinion upon the Italian question, I think it right to ex plain the view taken of this important question by the Government. The Government has not the slightest motive of against Italy, against a people who once dominated the world, who have produced great things in art and science, and writ ten their names in glorious characters in the his tory of civilisation. Nor do we object that a people with such a past and so well characterised a nation ality should attempt to obtain a political conforma tion assuring that nationality, and making good its signification. But, without depreciating in any manner whatsoever the importance of the national idea, we do not think we can attribute to it the absolute value which has been claimed for it in Italy—a value before which everything else is to give way, the law of nations as well as the right of treaties, all interests, the highest as well as the lowest. Here, with the exception perhaps of those members who do not consider themselves as at home in this country, no one will attribute so abso lute a signification to the principle of nationalities. If any one was to attempt to reconstruct the balance of power in Europe on a purely national basis, he would give the signal of an endless and sangui nary struggle. There is another principle, that of non-intervention, which we cannot admit as bind ing and applicable under all circumstances." Baron von Schleinitz then explained that the only position Prussia could assume was one of reserve. M. de Vincke then rose and spoke as follows : " Certainly there cannot be any objections made to the policy of non-intervention as explained by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is the duty of every Government to spare the blood and property of the citizens. But, such being the case, no diplomatic intervention should have been made which is in staring contradiction to the views now adopted. M. de Vincke then expressed his disapprobation of the Coblentz Note, which was totally uncalled for, and passed severe censure on the Government for allowing the Prussian Government ship the Loreley to carry despatches between Messina and Gaeta in defiance of the admitted law of non-inter- vention. " There is a third fact (continued M. de Vincke) which I must dwell upon, and which is contrary to the policy of ‘ non-intervention ' now admitted; Prussia, in concert with other Powers, requested the Emperor Napoleon to keep his fleet at Gaeta. What could have induced Prussia to take such a step? Humanity has been put forward as a plea. The best humanity would have been to put an end to a sanguinary struggle the only result of which can be to maintain for a few weeks more a Crown to a King who will never have his kingdom again. Prussia has not, then, been faithful to the principle of non_intervention ; she has shown herself unfavourable to Italy. Italy will never be a con quering Power, but she will contribute greatly to the preservation of the balance of Power in Eu rope. The Emperor Napoleon has said, ' that the greatest virtue of a people was to have confidence in itself,' and that France might tranquilly await the future, confident-in her own strength and loy alty. This is equally applicable to Germany. Let us rejoice to rival France in the arts of peace. If she chooses to attack us she will find us sword in hand." After saying that the French nation were easily excited, that the French Emperor once said to the (From the Dispatch.) The author of our State religion is called the Prince of Peace. TO show his loyalty to his spiritual Sovereign, the Rev. J. S. Brockhurst, Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, gives the Rev. Edward Dodd, Vicar of St. Giles's, " a sound thrash ing with a horsewhip." The offence of his rev. brother in the Lord was that of showing a delicate respect to the feelings of a Jew. Dr. M'Caul arid his metropolitan clerical associates feel their Chris tian sympathies " outraged " by the authors of the Oxford Essays and Reviews having thought proper to think differently from themselves. Of course they at once discover that they are " infidels," and unanimously pray the Bishop of London to reveal the true Christian spirit by prosecuting, degrading, and cashiering them : Behold how good a thing it is and how exceeding well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell 1 The meeting of Sion College, London-wall, would seek to ungown the Essayists in the spirit of the illustrious foreigner, " for their good, for all their goods"—and chattels into the bargain. We wonder which of the three travellers Dodd or Auriol really thinks was the neighbour of the man who fell among thieves ? The Samaritan was notoriously unsound in his doctrine—the priest and Levite were never caught tripping in their catechism. , -.4e. IV* We are coming, we think, to "the beginning , 6l the end" of our present system of ecclesiology. The country opens its understanding to the discovery that there is a wide distinction betwixt the making a legal provision for the religion of a country and the endowment of a creed, or the subsidising of a sacerdotal corporation. It at last sees that the piety 'of a people may be perfectly promoted without the enforcement of doctrinal conformity. It finds that religious affections have no ,necessary connexion with extravagant sinecures to a privileged hierarchy, in the view of bribing them all to think alike ; and that the monopoly of the loaves and fishes conceded to the clergy of the Anglican Establishment on the assumption that they are the safest depositories of Divine truth, is an extortion of the public money under false pretences. Pray, can any man tell us why the rector of the empty parish church should be paid a thousand a year by the nation, While . the minister of the crowded Methodist chapel should get nothing ? Is there any reason why the fashionable temple before which hundreds of private carriages of the rich draw up every Sunday, should be supported out of the hard earnings of the many poor who never enter it, while the poor conventicle in the back street, wherein the pinched Baptist preacher labours to reclaim the bare and ragged to society, virtue and Heaven, should have to be maintained out of the hard-earned farthings of the needy ?

When seat tries became too strong for them it sneaked up to orthodox dissent and called to it,.as agreeing in all essential points, to help to persecute the Papist; and Unitarians. When Unitarians grew in social influence, it was discovered that the Church. although not accepting their dectrine, could frater nise with them on the ground of a common Pro testantism ; and "last • of all, when the Jews demanded of Parliament - the recognition' of their civil rights, it has been seen that the Church of England:that has ddclared.`Paßery:to be-Anti-christ, l and the Scottish Kirk thatrin ,its Act ,of Settle ment calls the Pope " that man of sin and son of perdition," can Wheedle both Roman Catholics and Unitarians to their aid, and tell them that their differences are on comparatively minor points, and that they legislate together. en the basis of a com mon Christianity against those who, are alleged to call its author an impostor , Now, perhaps the Sion College Sanhedrim may find that the Jews at least accept the inspiration of the Old Testament,. and may fraternise with those who seek to persecute essayists who deny even that.

THE BISHOP OF DURHAM ON " ESSAYS AND REVIEWS."—The following letter has been received by the Venerable R. C. Cos, M,A., Archdeacon of Lindisfarne, from, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Durham, in reply to an addreks to his lordship from the Arehdeaconry of Lin disfarne, on the subject of the work entitled " Essays and Reviews," recently published : " London, Feb. 4. "My dear Archdeacon,-1 beg to acknowledge the re ceipteef the address from yourself, Om rural dean, and tilt:- clergy of the Archdeaconry of Lindisfarne. Having felt it to be.iny duty to read with great care the volume of 6 Es. says and ROVIOVS ' to which the address alludes, I am not surprised that the hearts of honest, and faithful Churchmen should burn with indignat'Ain at finding such a publication should have emanated from men professing to be minis ters of our Church. lam still less surprised that you are, - as clergymen, deeply grieved at finding such doctrines can be heard from any pulpit or professional chair in our land. You say you consider it desirable that the bishops should at. , Once proceed- to vindicate the commonlY received Catholic sense of the Creeds, Articles, and Forma laries. I have not failed to convey your opinion and wish to a large number of my right rev. brethren. The subject has undergone long and serious consideration. The illness of a beloved,menlber of the family of , the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a telegraphic 'summons to him, rendered it essential to postpone further discussion. You will feel with me that any conclusion determined upon in the absence of that most rev. prelate would have lost much of its effect from the want of that weight which his wisdom and firm ness would have given to it. I feel that I should be fail ing in my duty, as your bishop, if I hesitated to express my most deliberate conviction, formed after the careful read ing of the " Essays," that a more heterodox volume could. scarcely have been produced. The cautious style of the writers may possibly render it difficult to frame out of this work 'a case 'for direct legal investigation ; but no candid reader can be blind to the fact_ that inferentially the Atone ment is denied, miracles are explained away, prophecy is cast erside, inspiration, in the only real meaning of the term, is rejected. Under these painful circumstances, permit me to express my hope that your exertions will not be limited to the issuing the address which I have now received. I feel that, as men of all shades of opinion in the Church have united in signing the address, because they are convinced of the presence, in the person of.these seven essayists, of a , common foe to Christian truth, so we should all unite in ,dedicating ourselves afresh to the service of , our Divine Master. We should, resolve not to allow mere externals to divide us ; but, on the other hand, a common danger to our common Christianity should make us cultivate a spirit of scriptural unity, redouble our exertions to obtain an experi mental knowledge of the Word for ourselves, to propagate the Gospel of Christ among our fellows, and maintain in the face of the world the value of the sufficiency and supre macy of the Word of God. It will be, in great measure, by our Christian earnestness and by our scriptural teaching that- we shall guard the unwary from being led into paths of such dangerous speculation, and show our abhorrence of o pinions which I, from my heart, consider to be not only detrimental to the best interests of morality and derogatory to the Word of God, but which are so manifestly opposed to the truth as it is in Jesus. Praying that God may bless all attempts to spread the pure Gospel of Christ through the length and breadth of the land, I am, my dear Arch deacon, very faithfully yours, "H. MONTAGU DIJNELM. " Von. Archdeacon Coxe." • TILE REAL CHARACTER OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. (From the Saturday Review.) We have always taken a view of Louis Napo leon's character somewhat different from that which commonly prevails. He is usually supposed to be a supernaturally far-sighted man, who lays his plans long beforehand, matures them in silence, profoundly calculates the means necessary for theireu .. execution, and adheres to them through all diffi J o ties and accidents with inflexible thattenacit. he have always maintained, on the contrary,r Ie to the is a man of very ordinary capacity, world only because he happens to terrible the trigger which would fire a.destructive mine--i:gr,estlessly ad and, up to dieted, indeed, to eonspiracie b s u , t cl i i vry far from long a certain point inventive, lculations, wanting in sighted or profound in hi a s n e d a somewhat infirm of promptness of decisiono,,.the Carbonari, levelled at purpose.

One line of ac tion was all the time crossing another line of action, and both were marred by the complication. We do not doubt that the Emperor's head is full of schemes —the accumulation of a life of plots and of long broodings in solitary imprisonment ; but we doubt whether he has any grand plan or whether he even understands the Europe in which he is acting, and which is not that of the First Empire. He has in trigues going on everywhere—in Hungary, in Spain in Belgium. in the Rhine Provinces, in Turkey, ill Egypt, with th e se diti ous I r i s h press , w ith a fue -1 tious leader of the English Opposition. He strives at influence for himself on all sides ; but we suspect that, like a magpie stealing spoOns, he scarcely in fluence when wh a t use i s t o h e ma d e of all this when it is accumulated. SWOOP OF A HAWK ON A BREAKFAST TABLE. —On Thursday morning week, as Mr. Duncalfe, of Pirton, near Wolverhampton, was sitting with his family at break fast, a hawk dashed against the window of the room with such violence that a large pane of plate-glass was shivered into a thousand fragments, several pieces striking Mr. Duncalfe on the forehead, which was cut, but not seriously. The bird fell in a dying state upon the breakfast table. What makes the circumstance the more remarkable is, that 'this is the third time, within a few years, that Mr. Dun calfo's windows have been broken in the same way, in each case ending in the death of the hawk.—,Stafordsnere .444- vertiaer. ►rne, iott, prth- 'eat- jun., nca- Ore. uvl - did- Lore, 3ria, day 5,100 ),900 1,970 1,345 3,315 1,776 1,403 0,060 1,521 ..•• .0 ',785 T. om day l or teat des 71e1 )8d last Ind wer 39 tier )el Or of
