" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we, can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_ contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

The following is Count Cavour's speech in the Chamber of Deputies at Turin, on bringing in the bill for the new title to be assumed by King Victor Emmanuel : piIICE 4D . STAMPED, SD, " Gentlemeqp—l have the honour to submit to the Chamber o f D eput i es the bi ll by which the King, our august S overe i gn , assumes f or hi mse lf and his succ essors the title of King of It a ly. Th e emotion wh ic h this prop os iti on exc it es , th e app l ause with which it has been received, loudly proclaim that a great fact has been a ccom pli s h e d, an d th a t a new era begins. It is a noble nation which, through adverse fortune and its own errors, had fallen into a state of abasement, and been trampled under foot and scourged for upwards of three centuries both by foreign and 'native tyranny ; it now, invoking its right, rises again, renovated through a magnanimous struggle which h as l as t e d three years, and declares itself in the face of th e world. It is this noble nation which, having proved constant during the long days of its trials, and shown p ru d ence d u ring the days of its un hoped-for prosperity is at the present moment completing the work of its Constitution, becomes one by its Government and institutions, as it w as already by its o r i g i n , it s l anguag e, and religion, the recollection of the martyrdom it has under gone, and the hope of a complete del iveran ce. You, the interpreters of the national feeling, you have already, on the solemn day of the open ing of Parliament, saluted Victor Emmanuel 11. with the new title with which Italy, from Turin to Palermo, has already invested him in her affectionate gratitude. It is now necessary to transform this cry of enthusiasm into a law of the State. The Senate of the kingdom has al ready sanctioned it by its unanimous vote ; you, gentlemen, I am certain, will confirm it by the same unanimity in yo ur su ff rages , in or d er th a t th e new K ingdo m may pr esen t it se lf, w ith ou t any fur ther delay, in the assembly of nations with the glo rious name that belongs to it." tee for order in Europe, and his spiritual power reposes, not on the rock of ages but on his retention of a petty and ruined principality. It is only doing M. Thiers justice to say that the present politics of the French nation have been formed entirely on his _History of the Consulage and the Empire, probably the most immoral, anti-social,:and the least veracious work that ever issued from the hands of a great his torian. The Opposition in the French Senate and Legislature has drunk too deeply from this impure source. To tear up the treaties of 1815, to avenge the defeat of Waterloo, to carry her boundary to the Rhine, to dominate over the rest of Europe by an aggressive policy and an overpowering army, to sow dissensions in Germany, Italy, and Spain, and tßut, above all things, to profit by th ose di ssens i ons i n or d er t o ex t en d th e dominion of F rance over unw illi ng an d uncongen i a l nations—these M. Thi ers h as t aug ht th e p resen t generation Frenchmen th e Frencht ob e the l egit Oppositioni m ate appear p b jpeecait is for the ambition of a grea t an d en li g h tene d peop l e. B to be anxious to involve their coun t ry i n a s t rugg l e for life or death with England, which d es i res no thi ng more than alliance andfriendship. The Emperor represented as actuated by the fear of Italian dag gers, as meanly to the tru trueckliag te to the of England, and false of France, be cause he has permitted a large and prosperous kingdom to come into existence on her frontiers. England is accused of intriguing . for Italian unity under the mask of non-intervention, and Victor Emmanuel is denounced in lan guage rarely indeed employed by the subjects of one crowned head when speaking of another. The Emperor is counselled by one to draw close the ties of alliance with Russia, by another to load him self with the crushing weight of the falling colossus of Austria, and all combine in the most heartfelt praise of the diserowned King of Naples whose hands are yet red from the cruel and useless massacre of Palermo. The Nazione of Florence publishes an Address, signed by upwards of 1,000 women of the lower orders of Pisa, and addressed to King Victor Em manuel, in which" echoing," as they say, the words of the Countess Montemerli, they declare that " at any price, they must have Venetia ;" and that " for so noble a cause, they will send their brothers, their sons, and their husbands to a final conflict, in order to drive the despotic oppressors from the sacred soil." Ameng the women who have signed this Address there are the wives of many soldiers decorated by Napoleon 111. during the campaign of 1859. To this Address, Chevalier Nigra, in the King's name, has replied as follows : We have no objection to be blamed, we should feel the greatest disgust at being praised, by such orators. Their taunts are as much without point as their menaces are without strength and their counsels without wisdom. We cannot wonder that those who counsel France to link her destiny with an exploded theocracy, to ally herself with all that is decrepit, retrograde, bankrupt, feeble, and dis reputable among the monarchies of Europe, should advise her to keep aloof from the alliance of such a country as England. We cannot wonder that those who are never weary of promulgating a policy of the basest selfishness, the meanest jealousy, and the most sordid cupidity, should select England, which has no obsolete party interest to serve, and no super annuated hatreds to gratify, as the mark of their impotent rage and pointless denunciations. They are worthy of their cause, and deserve to live under a Pope and a King of Naples, rather than under the existing Government of France. But the Emperor has no reason to regret that they have shown them selves in their true colours. He has proved to the world that his policy can stand the test of the most rancorous public attack, and come out all the brighter from the ordeal. He has shown that he has no occasion to silence men who have only to speak freely in order to call down upon themselves the reprobation of the wise and good of all nations, and he has probably done much to reconcile France to his domination by giving her a convincing proof of the quality of the men from whose hands he has snatched her, and into whose hands she might pos sibly fall again.—Tinies. " Turin, Feb. 4. Madame—His Majesty has received the Note and the Address which you have sent him, and is convinced that the patriotic sentiments which characterised the Italian women of former days are not unknown to those of the present, who take so active a part in the grand work of national inde pendence, the completion of which is the ardent desire of every good citizen. His Majesty com mands me to thank you for the generous and patriotic sentiments which you have expressed to him in the name of the female inhabitants of the town of Pisa. In acquitting myself of this mission, believe me, .Be-c., "The Minister of the King's household, " NIGRA." A ~r, / / THE NAVY. The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Ad miralty, held a levee yesterday at the Admiralty. The Princess Royal, 91, screw steamer, Capt. C. Fellowes,went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning to Spithead, where she will take in her powder and shell prior to proceeding to Devonport. On clearing the harbour channel she saluted the flag of the commander-iu-chief with 15 guns, the Vic tory replying with seven. The ship is far from being so well manned as she might have been. Numbers of good men have been deterred from joining her by the large number of indifferent hands who have been sent to her from other ports. During the ship's passage to Spithead the starboard quarter boat, fitted with Clifford's patent lowering gear, was lowered while the ship was under steam for the purpose of testing its performance, which was very satisfactory. The Marlborough, 131, screw, Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8., at Portsmouth, is ordered to be fitted with fore and mizen wire r i gg i ng . H er ma i n l ower rigging was fitted with w i re w h en s h e rece i ve d h er original outfit p r i or t o l eav i ng E ngland for the Mediterranean. The orderly manner of the crew of this ship and their seamanlike appearance as they move about the dockyard, each party in charge of an officer, returning stores, has excited a good deal of favourable comment. Bills are posted in the vicinity of the dockyard gates at Portsmouth, inviting petty officers and able seamen to enter for service on board the Great Eastern steamship, offering £4 per month to the former and £3 ss. per month to the latter, and stating where an officer can be fonnd in daily atten dance to ship men. The notification significantly concludes with—" men-of•war's men preferred." The Elfin, Royal paddle yacht, has been taken into the steam basin of Portsmouth dockyard to receive new boilers, and also very extensive repairs to her machinery. The first step towards employing the convicts at Chatham in remunerative manual labour, accord ing to the plan submitted some time since to the Home Secretary, has just been taken by the authorities charged with the administration of the convict department of the public service, who have decided on having several hundreds of the pri soners now working on St. Mary's Island, adjoin ing Chatham Dockyard, taught the art of brick making on the island, where a clay, suitable for the manufacture of bricks, has been dis covered. The services of a person competent to in struct the men in this branch of industry have been obtained, and it is intended that the bricks thus made shall be used on the works in connexion with the enlargement of Chatham dockyard. A number of the convicts are also to be employed in the erection of a public landing-place and jetty at Gillingham, under the superintendence of Mr. Macdonald, C.E., in lieu of the present pier, which will be taken in by the Admiralty in the proposed enlargement of the Chatham dockyard. A day or two since Lord Chief Justice Erie paid a visit to the convict prison, St. Mary's, over which he was conducted by Capt. Powell, his lordship making particular inquiries respecting the causes which led to the late mutinies, and the nature of the discipline maintained in the establishment. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—William Todmer, second-class assist.-engineer to the Hero ; William Smith, second-class assist.-engineer to the Indus, for charge of the Goldfinch ; and James H. Ferguson and John H. Bradshaw, acting third-class assist.- engineers, to the Indus,!as supernumeraries ; Chas. Lawrence, Edward Comley, Robert Phillips, and John Plowright, acting third-class assist.-engineers to the Asia, as supernumeraries ; Frederick 0. Powell, midshipman to the Conqueror; W. B.

The officers belonging to the depots of the various Indian regiments quartered at Chatham garrison are to be instructed in escalading operations by the officers of the Royal and Indian Engineers, in order that they may be enabled to instruct the troops belonging to their respective regiments. Orders have been received at Chatham for the following medical officers, who have been for some time past performing medical duty in the military hospitals at that garrison, to proceed to the camp at Aldershot, to join their respective regiments : Assistant-Surgeons W.

UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—A trifling change from the original position has been made in the Cambridge crew. Mr. W. H. Tarlton, of St. John's, is rowing No. 3, Mr. C oven t r y, of Trinity Hall, 5, and Mr. Callings, of Trinity, 6. The crew are to take their last row on the Cam- to morrow, and then immediately repair to Putney, HUNGARY. General Turr has addressed to the municipal Council of Kecskemet (Hungary) the following letter : TO THE MUNICIPALTY OF THE TOWN OF KECSKEM ET Gentlemen,—Receive my sincere thanks for the honour which you have done me, and of which the journals have informed me. The remembrance of which one's native country gives proof towards her proscribed sons is the highest reward that these can desire. In naming us—my brothers in exile and myself —among the men in whom you have confidence, you have proved that, on the one hand, you are the faithful guardians of the national dig nity and right, old as a thousand years, and that, on the other hand, the Magyar emigrants have dis charged their duty. The faith—that brilliant star which has never suffered itself to be eclipsed while we were pursuing the darkest paths of our exist ence as proscribed men—the faith of again seeing our country in all its glorious vitality—sustains me more than ever. Europe—everything announces it—will before long find herself again converted on the field of battle. A most important part awaits there our country. Let us beware of following a wrong course. The Austrian Government is en deavouring to induce one to believe that her highest care for the last twelve years had been to find the means of making the Magyar nation happy ; it would fain persuade itself that the feasts, the ox roasted whole, and the revels of the coronation constitute the ne pita ultra of our national require ments, and that a visit eventually to the royal palace of Buda is already a superfostation of majestic condescension. Let us awaken it. If it keeps silence on the events very recently past, it is for us to come to the succour of its modesty. The Diet ought to make it understand that the cloak of St. Stephen himself is not large enough to conceal from view the agonies and palpable humiliations into which the peoples of Hungary have been plunged day after day for eleven years by the supporters of a usurping system. To guarantee the union of races, behold what ought to constitute the chief object of our solicitude. Let no smiling perfidy succeed in embroiling us with our natural allies. Let us reject the apparent favours of a sinister afterthought, that might be offered to the prejudice of our Croatian brothers. Let the promises, the presents be subjected to a severe scrutiny by us as well as by the Sclaves and Roumanians, who are our fellow-countrymen. In short, when looking at the policy of the Divide ut iniperes, let us rally all the inhabitants of our [Hungarian] country, without exception of race or religion, under the sacred flag of complete civic equality and liberty. It is on this condition alone Hungary will become great and the nation happy. —I am, &c., E. TURR. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. The Bank of France has reduced its rate of dis count from 7 to 6 per cent.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARC I. 15, 1861. THE COMMERCIAL BANK FRAUDS. The examination of John Durden and James Holcroft on the charge of having defrauded the late Commercial Bank of nearly £70,000 was resumed yesterday afternoon before Mr. Henry, at Bow-street police-court. Mr. Humphreys, jun., still appeared as solicitor for the prosecution, and the same counsel as before were retained for the defence—Mr. Metcalfe for Durden, and Mr. Sleigh for Holcroft. Mr. Humphreys reverted to the fact stated at the last examination that in September the prisoner Holcroft was bankrupt, and thtit he compounded with his creditors for 4s. in the pound. He (Mr. Humphreys) believed he should now be able to show where that money had come from. It appeared that three cheques had been drawn on Hol crott's account in October last—one on the 18th October for £lB5, one on the 19th for £l5O, and one on the 23d for £l6O, besides one other of which evidence would be given on a future occasion. The particulars of the notes with which these payments were made had been taken, and it would be found that the creditors pf Holcroft had been paid with those notes. Similar evidence would be given as to the settlement of an action which had been brought against the prisoner Holcroft on a bill of exchange. It would also be shown that when he was bankrupt he pro posed to his accountant, Mr. Watson, to omit from the list of creditors the name of Durden, to whom he was largely indebted, and who, he said, would see him out of his difficulties. Mr. Watson urged him to give the name of every creditor, and finding that he was determined to do otherwise refused to go on with the case, after which Holcroft employed Messrs. Paul and Turner as his accoun tants, and bald nothing to them about Durden being a creditor. _ _ . Mr. William Henry Pike, a clerk in the Life Assurance Treasury and Deposit and Assurance Bank, 5, Cannon street, West, deposed—l know the prisoner Durden by sight. He kept an account at that bank. On the 20th October I cashed a cheque for that account of £3OO. It was drawn by the prisoner Durden. When I cashed that cheque I took the numbers, dates and amounts of the notes with which I paid it. There were five £5O notes, ranging from 59,952 to 59,956 in clusive, all dated the 20th of June, 1860. There was a £2O note. No. 09,804, dated 21st of September, 1860; another £2O note, No. 75,419, dated 21st of April, 1860 ; a £lO note, No. 92,261, dated 24th of July, 1860. To the best of my belief I paid those notes to Mr. David Alla,n Ramsay. I entered the payment in the deposit ledger now produced against Durden's account, and to word " self," meaning that the note was payable to himself. The entry is " 20th October. Self, £300." Cross-examined—This is the bank of which Mr. George Henry Law is manager. I should say that Durden has had an account for four or five years. I have been there since the establishment of the bank, about March, 1856. Burden has had an account nearly all the time. I know Mr. Ramsay. I have no entry to show that the money was paid to him. I speak from memory. Re-examined--The pass-book now handed to me is that of the prisoner Durden. I find the sum of £3OO entered there as having been paid on the 20th October. Mr. Humphreys—That pass-book was found on him. Witness continued—Though called a deposit-bank there are current accounts fur which we allow interest on the minimum monthly balance. There is no other cheque drawn for so large a sum as £3OO, as far as this book goes back. That is not a reason why I should remember that I paid it to Mr. Ramsay. The reason is rather that lam not usually at the counter. _ _ Mr. Thomas Dyson, cashier at the Commercial Bank, recalled—l produce the paying-book of the Commercial Bank for current accounts. On referring to that book I find that on the 18th of October last I cashed a cheque drawn by Holcroft upon his account for £lB5. I paid it with a XlOO note, No. 31,318, dated 19th May, 1860; a £5O note, No. 62,126, dated 20th June, 1860; a £2O note, No. 530, dated 21st September, 1860 ; a V.O note, No. 31,945, dated 22d August, 1860; and a £5 note, No. 16,794, dated 11th May, 1860. On the 19th of October I cashed a cheque, also drawn by Holcroft upon his account, for £l5O, which was paid with a £lOO note, No. 25,482, dated May 19, 1860; and a £5O note, No. 57,836, dated June 20, 1860. On the 23d of October I cashed a cheque, also drawn by Holcroft on his account, for £l6O. I paid it by a £lOO note, No. 37,625, dated May 19, 1860 ; and a £5O note, No. 50,579, dated 20th June, 1860. Ido not remember to whom those cheques were paid, but, on referring to Holcroft's pass-book, I find these three cheques debited as being all payable to " self." Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—This book contains en tries of all payments made by me. The second cashier has a similar book. Mr. Richard Adey Bailey-1 am a clerk in the Bank of England. I produce five £5O notes, numbered 59,952 to 59,956 inclusive, all dated 20th June, 1860. Also a £2O note, No. 09,804, dated 21st September, 1860 ; a £29 note, No. 75,419, dated 21st April, 1860; a £lO note, No. 92,261, dated 24th July, 1860 ; a £lOO note, No. 34,318, dated 19th May, 1860; a £5O note, No. 62,126, dated 20th June, 1860; a £2O note, No. 530, dated 21st September, 1860 ; a £lO note, No. 31,945, dated 22nd August, 1860 ; and a £5 note, No. 16,794, dated 11th May, 1860, and issued at Liverpool. That is the only Bank of England note of that number issued on that day. I also produce a £lOO note. No. 25,482, dated 19th May, 1860 ; a £5O note, No. 57,836, dated 20th June, 1860; a £lOO note, No. 37,625, dated 19th May, 1860; and a £5O note, No. 50,579, dated 20th June, 1860. Mr. Cyril Mortimer Murray Rawlins, of 13, Finsbury square, deposed—l am a solicitor, and clerk to Messrs. Clarke and Maurice, of Coleman-street, City, who are solicitors to the London Joint-Stock Bank. They brought an action on behalf of that bank against James Holcroft, of Hatton-garden. I produce the writ, which is dated Sep tember 12, 1860. It is a claim on a bill of exchange for £152 2s. 3d., drawn by J. Bonham, and accepted by James Holcroft and Co., payable at the Commercial Bank, Covent garden. The writ was served on September 26, and the action was settled on October 23 by Mr. David Allan Ram say, on behalf of the prisoner. I do not know who Mr. Ramsay is. It was paid in cash and notes, not by check. I handed the money over to Mr. Hills, the cashier, who entered it. Cross-examined—l handed it over at once. Mr. James Hills, cashier to Messrs. Clarke and Maurice —On the 23d of October I received the money in question from Mr. Rawlins. It is entered in my handwriting in the rough cash-book as " cash of Mr. Ramsay," and the initials " L. J. S. B." are attached to it to show that it was paid to the account of the London Joint-stock Bank, our clients. On looking at the two notes produced I find they are en dorsed in my handwriting. There is an error in that endorsement, " 11" being put for the month instead of " 10." It was the first day of my return to business after a vacation. From that entry i know that I received them on the day in question, and there is no payment on that day of which they could have formed part except the payment I have mentioned. [These were two of the notes mentioned by Mr. Pike and produced by Mr. Bailey.] I paid those not es into the London Joint-stock Bank the same day, with other moneys. Mr. Thomas Watson—l am an accountant at Moorgate street-chambers. I know the prisoner Holcroft. I also know Durden by sight, having seen him once before. On the 30th of Augusta saw Holcroft at his house in Hatton garden. Mr. Sleigh—Your profession is that of an accountant; and in that capacity you give your professional advice and assistance ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Henry—There is no privilege. There is no case of the kind. I considered the point from Mr. Humphrey's opening, as I thought you would take the objection. Mr. Sleigh would not argue the question there, though he had thought it his duty to raise the point. Witness continued—The prisoner on that occasion con sulted me about his accounts. I saw him again on the Ist of September, and made an appointment to call on the follow ing Monday to adjust his books. On the following Monday I went through his books. I did not find any name of Durden in his books. On the 4th inst. I called upon him, and he put it off because he was engaged with Mr. Durden and Mr. Ramsay. I knew Mr. Ramsay, but that was the only time I nad ever seen Mr. Durden until I saw him in custody here. On the 13th I prepared, or began to pre pare, a list of creditors, in which was the name of Mr. Darden. I made that list from Holcroft's books, and from information which he had given me. He mentioned bur den's name, but I cannot say whether it was on that day or not. He told me that Mr. Durden was a heavy creditor, but did not wish to be put down, and he (Holcroft) did not wish him to appear on the list, as it might injure his posi tion with the bank. I understood him to mean Dur Jen's position. He also said that he depended on Durden for funds to pay his composition. I did not know to what bank he alluded. I did not know that Burden was a clerk at the Commercial Bank. I prepared the list on the 22d of September and filed it on the 24th. I told him decidedly to put every creditor down, and I very much wanted him to do so. He did not mention any amount as being due to burden. I did not continue to act for fiim. I wrote and declined to ac",, for him any more. Cross-examined.—He said Mr. Durden had been very kind to'him and had assisted him. I do not remember his saying that Mr. Durden would not press his claims. Mr. John Paul, of the firm of Paul and Turner, of Col man-street, accountants.—l know the prisoner Holcroft. lie was introduced to us by Mr. Ramsay to enter into an arrangement with his creditors. That was on the 22d of September. I went over his books. There was no name of John Durden as a creditor in his books. He never men tioned the name of Durden to me as a creditor. I could not trace in the books the names of some of the bill-holders. In going through his liabilities it was necessary to trace the bill-holders, and on referring to him for the names of those which I had been unable to trace, I was told by Holcroft they were in the hands of a friend of his who had kindly assisted him, and who held a public appointment and did not wish his name to appear in any way in connexion with the affair. I produce a preliminary statement of his affairs which was prepared by me. It contains the liabilities on one side and the assets on the other. I have entered in it against certain bills mentioned their " holders not known." Those are the bills he had not given me names for. I saw the creditors and obtained their consent to a composition, and I afterwards went with Mr. Crowther and paid it. Mr. Frederick Edward Crowther, clerk to Messrs. Law rance and Plews, Old Jewry Chambers, solicitors—l know defendant Holcroft. I acted for him as solicitor in bank ruptcy. I never saw Dnrden, with respect to Holcroft's affairs. I never saw him till I came into court. On the 20th of October last I received £720 from Mr. David Allan Ramsay, and I disposed of that money by settling with the creditors. The notes produced I have no doubt are three of the notes paid to me by Mr. Ramsay. There are endorsed in my handwriting on the 23d. I paid to the clerk of Mr. Canaan, the official assignee, upwards of £2C—the sum was £6B, to the estate of Smith and Patient, who were bank rupts. It was to Mr. Hayward that I paid that money. That was on the 26th 'of October. There was a cheque for £l3O in the £720 whi3h I received from Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Charles Hayward—l am clerk to Mr. Canaan, o Basinghall-street, official assignees. On the 26th of October I received from Mr. Crowther a sum of money as composi- tion for a debt duo tc the estate of Smith and Patient, who were bankrupts. Among that money was a £5O note, No. 59,954, dated the 20th June, 1860. I paid it the same day into Robarts's bank. Mr. Humphreys said that was all the evidence he should offer on the present occasion, and he must now ask for a further remand. The application not being opposed, the prisoners were again remanded. Mr. Humphreys requested that it might be stated, in fairness to Mr. Gardner, who was one of the witnesses at the last examination, that though he had failed in conse quence of the failure of Holcroft, who was his agent, h• had paid 15s in the pound, whereas he had only received 4s. in the pound on Holcroft's debt to him.

At the turn into the straight Lord of the Manor obtained a slight advantage, which he held to the half-distance, where he was joined by Tyrant and Plutus, between which three a close and pro longed struggle home ensued, Tyrant just winning, by running the longest, by a neck, a like distance separating the second and third.

On passing the hovel, Black Diamond, followed by Avalanche and Frede rick, drew forward, nothing else having a chance.

The Emperor of the French has probably encoun tered a much more numerous as well as a more bitter opposition in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies than he had been led to expect. He might have thought, and not unreasonably, that nine years of the most severe repression had tamed down the exuberant spirits of French Parliamentary comba tants, and reduced them to a state much more nearly resembling the phlegmatic Englishman than the lively and excitable Gaul. This, however, like most of the theories of arbitrary power, is, as events have shown and as reason could have proved, a very superficial view of the subject. Men can be kept silent by the fear of death, of chains, or of deporta tation, but the repression which teaches silence does not inculcate moderation, and political passions burn only the more fiercely for having been concealed. The habit of public discussion, of confuting, of being confuted, of striking and baring your shoulders to the lash in your turn, has a great effect in modify ing the most extravagant prejudices and regulating the most ungovernable tempers. We in England have debated upon public affairs till we have hardly left to ourselves a substantial difference of opinion to debate about. We have rounded the corners and planed off the angularities till there is hardly any thing left to lay hold of. It is not so in France. She awakes from her nine years' slumber, like Nourjahad or Rip van Winkle, apparently uncon scious that she has slumbered at all. Nothing has been learnt—nothing has been forgotten. The old factions wake up again in all their vigour and in all their bitterness, and the Tribune resounds with denunciations as vehement and fierce, and the Chamber with interruptions as violent and long, as ever waited on the speeches of Gxizot or Lamar tine. The political education of the country and of the Chambers has to be begun again. We think it is high time that the process should begin, and therefore sincerely rejoice that the Emperor has at last opened an academy in which that neces sary instruction can be imparted. We would, however, suggest one improvement in the course of discipline through which the French Chambers are to pass. The experience of 600 years of Parlia mentary debate has taught us in England that the true objects of free discussion can only be attained by a free and lively interchange of the thoughts of the moment; never by condemning a deliberative Assembly to a wearisome succession of written ser mons. The sallies of an exuberant fancy or the vehemence of an over-eager advocacy may be tole rated and forgotten, but the cold, dull, elaborate malignity of a written oration, every phrase of which has been weighed and every epigram pointed in the study of the speaker, leaves wounds that no time can heal and no good nature can forget. Still, bitter as has been the attack on his person and his Government, we think the Emperor of the French has no reason to regret that he has taken the people into his counsels, and given them the opportunity of expressing, in the most unreserved manner, their hopes and their fears, their hatreds and their predilections, their friendships and their animosities. Certainly, a great many of the speeches display neither reason nor moderation. Facts have been ludicrously misstated, opinions grotesquely distorted, and everything has been re garded through the refracting medium of nine years of compulsory and burning silence. Yet all this, we apprehend, has not been without its advan tage to the Emperor. With all deference to M. Prevost Paradol be it recorded, that the " Old Party," the existence of which he so strenuously denied, has shown itself in this debate in its:true colours. Orleanist, Legitimist, and Ultrairontanist are blended in one undistinguishable phalanx. There is no difference to note between them. Re ligion, politics, sympathies, and antipathies are all the same. We might quote their speeches in detail, but it would be a futile repetition. Nothing but the nnme at the beginning of the speech could inform us whether the orator was a bigot or an unbeliever, a Republican or a disciple of the divine right of Kings. They have but one cast of countenance, one voice, one manner, one thought. There is a monotony of hatred, an uniformity of disappointment. Their religion is to believe that Christianity must stand or fall according as the very worst Government in Europe is preserved or destroyed. Protestants or Catholics, they all hold the same language and - are full of the same idea. The Pope is the only guaran- ESSAYS AND REVIEWS. An extraordinary demand for this incriminated volume set in yesterday morning, consequent upon the publication of the report of the deputation to Lambeth Palace on Wednesday, and the reply of the Archbishop. Up to the present time 14,000 copies of the work have been sold. The new edition is composed of 5,000 copies. A very copious polemi cal literature, consisting chiefly of replies, more or less formal, to the arguments and allegations con tained in "Essays and Reviews," has sprung up within the last week or two. Some of these are very slight productions, and could only have been produced on the supposition that anything on the subject will be read; some are reissues of works that have already done good service, and a few are dis tinguished by erudition and logical power, Some of the most learned and able replies to "Essays and Reviews" ere directed to special points raised in that volume. Among these may be mentioned the Rev. J. G. Cazenove's article on " Certain Characteristics of Holy Scripture," written with special reference. to Professor Jowett's essay. The Rev. Henry Craik, of Bristol, has replied to the Hebrew criticisms in Dr. Rowland Williams's essay. Dr. Heurtley, Margaret Professor, publishes sermons on the " In spiration of the Scriptures," and on the "Atone ment." The comprehensive article in the British Quarterly Review is republished in a separate form. The elder and classical works, as they may be called, on both sides the question, are again called for—e.g., " Coleridge's CAlfessions of an inquiring Spirit," in which the main question which underlies the present controversy is treated so thoroughly, on the one hand, and Dean Trench's "Notes on the Miracles," on the other. The latter work has reached a sixth edition. Sermons in which the authority of the Canon, the inspirations of the Scriptures, the limits of human reason, and cognate subjects, are created, come upon us like a flying cloud. The controversy pervades every species of literature, and does not disdain its hum blest forms. The last number of the cheap popular periodical called " Good Words," to which some of the most eminent divines of the' established and nonconformist churches are contributors, contains a paper by Archbishop Whately, a part of which is a direct reply to the late Professor Baden Powell's argument on Mira cles. No cheap edition of " Essays and Reviews " has as yet been announced, nor is it likely to be while the book sells so rapidly at its present high price, but the clerical journals are supplying the deficiency by reprinting. what are deemed the most mischievous parts of the work, with a very slight drapery in the form of protests, addresses, letters, and so on. It is impossible to doubt that these have been the most effective stimulants to the enormous sale of the volume. Dr. Self's pamphlet, entitled, 1" Evidence of Unsoundness in the Volume entitled Essay and Reviews,' being his Speech delivered in the Jerusalem Chambers on the 26th ult., with long and numerous quotations," is a summary exhibition of the argument of the Essayists which will be read far and wide. THE CONVOCA7'ION. Both houses assembled yesterday. The Arch bishop of Canterbury presided in the Upper House. The Prolocutor of the Lower House (Archdeacon Bickersteth), who was attended by the Dean of Norwich, the Rev. Canon Wordsworth, the Rev. Dr. Jelf, Archdeacon Randall, and Archdeacon Hone, attended and informed the house that the Lower House had come to a resolution on the sub ject of the desirableness of uniting the scattered members of Christ's flock ; and also to present a gravamen, signed by 20 individual members, com plaining that a boob, called Essays and .Reviews, had been published ia London, containing teaching which was subversiNe of the inspiration and doc trine of Holy Scripture. The gravamen alleged that out of the seven writers of these Essays and Reviews, six were clergymen of the Church of Eng land. The members oF the house who had signed the gravamen prayed that their Lordships would be pleased to direct the appointment of a committee of the Lower House, to make extracts from the book alluded to, and to report thereon to their Lordships' House. Two of the persons who had signed the ; gravamen had not signed that por tion of it which related to the appointment of a committee. The Archbishop inquired whether the persons who signed the gravamen composed a majority of the house at the time. The Prolocutor, having answered in the affirmative, withdrew. The Bishop of Oxford said, it appeared to him to be the duty of their lordships composing the Upper House of Convocation to acquiesce in the prayer of the petition, and he should move a resolution to that effect. His lordship moved a resolution, acceding to the prayer of the petition "that a com mittee of the Lower House be appointed to examine and make extracts from the book entitled Essays and Reviews,' and to report thereon." The Bishop of Chichester seconded the motion. The Bishop of London stated various objections to the course pro posed. A long discussion ensued. The Archbishop of Canterbury put the motion when there appeared For (8) —the Bishops of Winchester, St. David's, Oxford, Bangor, Salisbury, Llandaff, St. Asaph, and Chichester; against (4)—the Bishops of Lon don, Bath and Wells, Gloeester and Bristol, and Norwich. His Grace the Archbishop, who did not vote either way, declared the Bishop of Oxford's motion carried. After the transaction of some further business their lordships adjourned. The members comprising the Lower House assembled in the Jerusalem Chambe r, Archdeacon Bickersteth, in the absence of the Dean of Bristol, again presid ing as Prolocutor. There were also present the Dean of Norwich, Archdeacons Denison, Randall, Hone, Hale, and Moore, Canon Woodgate, Canon Mills, Dr. Jelf, Dr. Williams, Canon Words worth, the Revs. Sir H. Thompson, Sir G. Prevost, Joyce, Burton, Fendall, J. Jebb, Massingberd, A. Oxenden, Seymour, Acland, Mayow, Kennaway, and Gillett. Archdeacon Denison presented a gravamen condemning the book entitled " Essays and Reviews." He moved that a representation upon this gravamen should be at once taken up by the Prolocutor to the Upper House, with a prayer to his Grace the President and their lordships the bishops of the Upper House that they would be pleased to direct the appoint. ment of a committee of the house to make extracts from the said book, anti to report thereupon to the house. He made this motion in the hope of avoid ing the necessity of proposing the motion of which he had given notice, for the suspension of the stand ing orders, in order to bring forward the question of the appointment of a committee. The Rev. Mr. Fendall seconded the motion. Upon a suggestion from the Prolocutor, Archdeacon Denison with drew the motion for reference to a select committee, and the gravamen was ordered to be taken up to the Upper House, as the gravamen of the arch deacon and those members whose names were ap pended to it. A long discussion ensued respecting the revision of the Liturgy, and the subject was ultimately postponed.
