Bestow on him what honours he may seem to deserve, but our advice to the ately to war on education with the Church which it left. The Lord Advocate knows this to his cost. Premier—and it is perfectly disinterested—is, whether in the Lords or in the Commons, contrive to do without his Lordship as a colleague ; or, as sure as fate, he will contrive to trip up your Ad ministration. But even . had Sir JOHN beaten down the hos. tility of the Establishment and the Dissenters the parents would still puzzle him. What would he do with those who would rot send their chil dren to school ? The class which wants its chil dren to earn, when they should be in the school, a small addition to the weekly income ; and the large class which despises all schools—how would he deal with them ? Would he literally "go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in ;" or would he give children as well as masters head-money for their attendance ? Parents would be up in arms against compulsion, the House of Commons against pay. Yet it is just this class which furnishes all our juvenile criminals, and for which education is now wanted. Where there is schoolroom in abundance, where the cost is not the reason, parents will not send the children, and children will not go. We believe that any educa tion bill which could be passed would be a pompous and costly failure, unless this sub ject were well considered and provided for. And then the Parish. Sir JOHN PA KINGTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL both look to it, and, if we are to have national education, very properly. But who will persuade our parishes to submit to a school-rate, till they can be guaranteed that there is to be no religious squabbling ? They have had enough, in all conscience, of Church-rate brawls, and do not want School-rate brawls. The clergy will not allow of secular education ; the parishioners will have no quarrels about religious education ; and, between the two, the parish-rate will fall to the ground. Confine the rate-paid in struction, as it ought to be, to what all deem necessary, and get the clergy to agree to that, and the great difficulty would be over. There would indeed remain the conflict with the present voluntary efforts, but that we must advert to at some future time. CABINET COUNCIL—A Cabinet Council was held yes terday afternoon at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing -street. The Minis ters present were Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chan cellor, Earl Granville, the Earl of Harrowby, Sir Geo.

THE COURT.—According to the present arrangement, the Court will leave Windsor for Osborne o❑ Thursday, the 7th proximo, and return to Windsor for the Christ mas festivities on the 23d of the same month. The birthday of the Princess Royal, who was born on the 21st of November, 1840, and consequently has attained her sixteenth year, was celebrated at Windsor with the customary honours. On Monday next the first party will be given at the Castle since the death of the Prince of Leiningen. Yesterday the Princess Royal completed her 16th year. LATEST NE WS. The Omar Pacha, from Sydney, has, it is stated, brought about 2,000 sovereigns. The rumour that the Rink of England intended to raise the rate of discount depressed the Paris Bourse. There have been some slight disturbances at Madria amongst the lower classes. A treaty of commtrce has been concluded between France and the Sandwich Islands. The Sardinian sailed yesterday from the Mersey for Australia with a full cargo and 270 passengers. MARSEILLES, Nov. 21. It is said there is to be a new classification at the Customs of the receiver.general'B department. Prince Woronz)ff, whose death we announced two days ago, was 74 years of age. There is a proposal on foot for making a railway betwee❑ Cheltenham and Chipping Norton. Advices from Constantinople, of the 13th, state that M. de Boutenieff had again pressed upon the Porte the withdrawal of the British ships from the Bosphorus. An English frigate had arrived at Constanti nople, and others were expected. The endeavours of Ferroukh-Khan, with Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, to arrange the Anglo-Por sian differences, had not been successful. The following is partially the composition of the new Ottoman Ministry :—Aali Pacha (ex- Grand Vizier), to be Minister for Foreign Affairs; Riga Pacha (Seraskier), to be Minister at War ; Mustapha Pacha, to be Minister, without a port folio. A powder mill has exploded at the Island of Rhodes, by which 1,000 persons have been killed. The new equestrian spectacle produced at Astley's, entizlA "Dred," is attracting nightly immense audiences. Baron de Seebaeb, Minister Plenipotentiary of Saxony, has arrived in Paris. General de Montreal has arrived at Marseilles from Rome Since 1801 no less that 500 Acts of Parliament have been passed reepecting the Excise department. A resolution was confirmed yesterday at a meeting of the Life Assurance Treasury Company t) raise a sum of money not exceeding 100,0001. on debentures. Preparations have commenced for the marriage of the Hereditary Grand Duke of Tuscany with the Princess Anne of Austria. There is a rumour that four new Field Marshals are to be created—viz., the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Seaton, Lord Gough, and the Earl of Cathcart. The names of the other members of the Cabine are not yet known. When the intended reduction of the Coldstream Guards is completed, the regiment will consist of 850 rank and file. Mr. Smith, the acc9untant•general at the War-office, intends, is is said, shortly to retire, and to be succeedeo by Mr. Kirby, the chief examiner: Mr. P. Rolt has resigned his seat for Greenwich. He says he is likely very shortly to become a Govern ment contractor. A meeting was held a few days ago in Manchester, at which resolutions were carried for the abolition of the punishment of death. THE GUN-BOAT AFFAIR IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. Sir Alexander Bannerman, Governor of the Bahamas, succeeds Mr. Darling, the new Governor of Jamaica, in the Governorship of Newfoundland. Mdlle. Nau, the well known cantatrice of the Grand Opera, has just returned to Paris from a highly success. ful professional tour in the United States. It is said that the Austrian Government intends to establish a new Catholic university at Salz'oourg, and new re!igious seminaries in each bishopric. Eight additional pictures by Turner are to be added, on Monday next, to those already on view at Marl. borough-house. A call of 1/. 94. is ordered to be paid, on the shares of the Epsorn and Leatherhead Railway, by the 11th of December. The Pays states that the affair between the Russian battery at the mouth of the Sea of AzDff and the English steamer has been arranged. The guns fired were, it states, all with blank cartridge, and merely intended as a notice to the captain of the steamer to explain his object in ascending the strait. Explanations were afterwards entered into between the captain of the vessel and the Russian commandant, and it was agreed that the affair should be referred to their ambassadors at Con stantinople. The matter being accordingly sub mitted to the representatives of the t'wo Powers, was amicably arranged. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : "The Marquis Antonini, the Neapolitan Minis ter in Paris, has not yet left, but his departure is positively fixed for Tuesday or Wednesday next. His passports had been prepared for some days past, but were not, I believe, delivered to him till yesterday. He will probably proceed to Brussels with the members of the Legation. I suspect he has not yet lost all hope of an arrang'sment between Naples and the Allies, though few share that hope. "I am assured that the statement relative to a new circular of Prince Gortschakoff is not correct. Notes have undoubtedly passed between the Rus sian Government and the French and English, but it is denied that Russia has yet formally announced her decisioa on the matters in debate between them. Of the complete accord between France And England on these points I am again assured on excellent authority." Upper Gallery, ls. ; Gallery, is. 6d. ; Pit, 3s. ; Upper Boxes, 3s.

Far greater vigilance is essential at the present 'moment, when Russia not only refuses to per form her solemn obligations, but when she has displayed such palpable 'manifestations of an in tention to evade undertakings of a different cha racter. It is ridiculous to suppose that any man of ordinary understanding, can be blind folded by the sudden desire to acquire a large commercial steam navy, on a scale of vast magnitude. Nor is the motive less transparent when the stipulation that every vessel must be so constructed as to be capable of being transformed into a ship-of-war at a brief notice. The CzAßmust indeed have conceived a very humiliating estimate of the common sense and judg ment of French and English statesmen if he sup poses that they can for a moment 'be bamboozled by so shallow a pretext. Like the contemplated Russian railways, it is clear that no reasonable hope can be entertained that the speculation would prove remunerative, and that the Govern ment guarantee is all that the shareholders in " the new Russian Steam Navigation Company" could look to for a return on the amount of their investments. Russia wishes, in fact, to obtain a series of military lines, constructed within her own territories, at the expense of the western nations, while she will further distress them by drawing the bullion from their stores and care fully locking it up, so as to prevent the possibility of its finding its way back, until the time had arrived when she could cast aside disguise, and again 'boldly avow her fierce determination to Cossackise Europe. The steam navy is with a similar object. She might construct the railways herself if she only possessed the money, material, and engineering skill. No foreign Powers could protest against these undertakings, although they must be well aware that the end and object was to in.. crease the military power of Russia. But not so with regard to thesteam fleet. She has entered into stringent stipulations against any increase of her maritime strength in the Euxine. If so many ves sels were to be constructed at Nicholaieff or Sebas topol, there would be many earnest remonstrances, and perhaps sometking more, from the other parties to the Treaty of March ; but by giving the con cession to a foreign company she hopes to over come the difficulty, while they would be to all intents and purposes her own, the power of taking possession at any time being retained in her own hands. As to the revival of the Congress, the pro ject is too absurd to require serious argument. As we have already explained, there is nothing for arbitration. The obligations on Russia are too clear and explicit to render any construction different from that adopted by England for a moment tenable. It would not be to carry out, but to reconstruct and modify the exist ing agreement, and any even a single party has a right to object to such an unautho rised change. We have shown that Russia would be virtually appealing to a packed jury, and that the decision would be a forgone conclusion that could only lead to the isolation of England, or what would be even worse, closer connection with Austria. Ou the part of England, then we firmly protest against any revival of the Confe rences ; and we hope, and believe, that the Eng lish Premier will refuse his sanction to a proceed ing so uncalled for and so impolitic. L)rd JOHN RUSSELL. What is he after ? What can be done to keep him out of mischief, and at the same time reward him for his past services ? A brace of inquiries these beginning to excite some degree of interest, now that the meeting of Par liament draws nigh. On all hands it appears to be admitted or be lieved he contemplates his reappearance as a prin cipal actor on the political stage on which he has conspicuously figured, but from which he has re cently been compelled to retire by the veto (s. public opinion. The na'atra,l inference therefore is he is after mischief. No reasonable being, one would imagine, can believe that Lord PALMER STON is such a nincompoop as to desire his aid in the Commons. Vast as are the resources of the Premier, unmatched though he be in tact, the risk is too great for him willingly to encounter it. However steadily his coach way be running just now, like all other coaches it may be upset—and well he knows " JOHNNY" is just the man to do it. It would seem, however, " JOHNNY " is so unreasonable as to believe the Premier may be induced to accept him as a col league in the Commons, and thus allow him the opportunity to do so. It can hardly be that in one of his periodical fits of audacity Lord JOHN entertains the belief he can command a fol lowing which will enable him, without treachery, to assume before long the reins of Government himself !- There is no knowing. This much, however, may be relied on—both friends and foes are of opinion that as a leader in the Commons he is used up, and that the sooner he recognises the fact the better for his fame and for the inte rest of the Liberal party. The second question, to wit—What can be done to keep him out of mischief, and at the same time reward him (to some extent) for his past services —is that which really demands consideration. A 'ltang contemporary, who alone seems to retain the odo ur o f hi s i nsp i rat i on, an d p i t i es hi m i n his isolat e d position, though it cannot help him to hi s wish, suggests the elevation of the Nobl e Lord to a peerage, is order to the a t ren House. gtbeniug of Government in the Upper If by thi s b e i mp li ed i n order to t h e a id he can ren d er well and good, in an i n d epen d en t capac it y — a ll We won't even quarrel with our , contemporary for d, • t•signatmo• the acceptance of a peerage a sacrifi ce on the part c' of the Noble Lord. He "has done the State some service," and we are byno means lothet o leave that s erv i ce pu bli c l y acknowledged by a recorep„ee Worthy o f it. N ay= we are almost disposed to go f ur th er, and spy,with a more powerful contemporary, "we feel su re that the country Would think no honotir the Crown can bestowto be too great a reward for a statesman who in his time has done many great and useful things." But if his ad , mission into the Ministry, and the lead in the Lords be implied, as we believe it is, the suggestion assumes another aspect. Where is the assurance that in this capacity h e would not prove exceedingly dangerous to the THE WEATHEM--SuN OPTICS, NOVENBER 22, TEMEMOUTTETI, IN Ilig SHAD:C. - ,, —highest ging!, noon yesterday. —lowest this morning *nil . - Inring the :15--this (is, at noon.

She is striving earnestly and energetically to obtain a speedy renewal of the Confereuces, with the view of procuring a mo di f i cation of the Perms agreed on last March, and also of sowing dissec tion, so far as practicable, between the Great Powers of she West, whose cordi a l and unexpected alliance foiled h er . deep laid sche mes, as Inuatbl e suitor cocupe.).leci her to 6A:wile 3, for Peace. She is also striving to induce It will most probably be presumed from all this that the Noble Lord the Member for the City of London would not object to be pitchforked into the'Lords in the capacity of Ministerial Leader. They know but little of the Noble Lord who do not entertain grave doubts on this head. His Lordship conceives himself to be an ill-used man, and is as ambitious as of late years he has proved himself weak and wrong-headed. The future his friends contemplate for him, and the future he contemplates for himself are two different things. To his thinking, there is but too much reason to believe, Lord JOHN is the coming Prime Minister, who, instead of being " used up," is more capable than ever of directing the affairs of this great country, which always stands in need of his services when deprived of them, while his friends at best conceive he may be useful in a subordi nate capacity in the Lords. Are they likely to succeed in converting him to their belief ? They wish him to withdraw from the Commons before it is too late for his reputation—before he has drunk to the dregs the cup of humiliation his vanity and weakness have prepared for him. Is he likely to overthrow a superstructure in which he delights, and listen to their advice ? The chances are enormous against his doing so. The sacrifice of personal vanity required at the outset is too great. It is not to be hoped. To quote from our contemporary :—" Urged on by a kind of chronic restlessness, he is rather anxious to try once more his fortune in the House of Commons. Old predilections, old reminiscences, a craving for the occupation of official life, a confidence in his party followers, and a still greater confidence in himself, all *flake him willing to bid once more for popularity and power. We can hardly wonder that he should delude himself with the belief that liberal government is impossible without him, when we find such a notion actually received by others, in spite of the events of the last few years. For many years past it has been obvious to all, except a few bigoted partisans, that Lord JOIN'S political reputation has been on the wane. His conduct has on many occasions exhibited that mixture of rashness and timidity which often betokens the decay of great powers, and gives warning of approaching feebleness. It is natural that, in fear of such an event, there should be a party desirous of inducing Lord Jourr RUSSELL to accept the honourable retire ment and the high distinctions which all will agree he has fairly earned. Should they succeed, no one will rejoice more fully than ourselves." In these remarks we fully concur, under the proviso that no more is intended in his Lordship's elevation than his failing powers would warrant. A de cayed Minister may be even more dangerous to his colleagues than if in possession of his pristine energies, understanding, and self-command. The subject is a painful one, and we gladly dismiss it. Sir JOIN PAKINGTON having tried the Rouse of Commons in vain has put his hope in Man ehester. The highest servant of the Crown and the Opblest of living patriots have recently taken and conferred honours there, and Sir JOHN sees no reason why he should not have his share also. Sir JOHN informs us that to him belongs the honour of redeeming education from being a mere party question ; and that his bill placed it on common ground. Be it so—that is the reason why his bill, or any one like it, will not in our time bec )me an act. Sir JOIN and his coadju tors, honest and patriotic as we believe them to be on this subject, have three antagonists which they will not vanquish in our time—the priest, the parent, and the parish. Any one of them singly, formidable enough, but combined, although from very opposite motives, they will be a match both for Sir JOHN and Lord JOHN. Take the Priest—the grand obstacle—who will ever bend him ? He has a fixed persuasion that the school is the nursery for the Church. Very probably he exaggerates the efferj, ; o f t h e Giurch or Assembly's Catechismson youthful minds. In a free country like this the deference of the youthful laity for the dogmas of their school-books is small. indeed ; some say that there is evv;, a tendency to throw the Catechisrn's into the fire, as soon as oompulsory lea='iiing ceases. Be this as it may, the clergy do not think so. To zehearse a Catechism for an hour, and then to submit to a two hours' service, or at least to sitting or wriggling the service out, is, they think, the sure course to discipline faithful disciples for Church or Kirk. Each denomination believes alike on this point. Each is well disposed towards education, but nervously anxious that it should train up adherents to its creed. Hence it is that in Britain eleemosynary education has fallen under the exclusive management of the diverse, and generally hostile, religious bodies ; and until this sectarian jealousy can be removed, both secular and national education are simple impossibilities. The wealthier laity are too much wider the influence of the clergy to subscribe to any plan which the latter will not sanction, and they will sanction none which does not multiply, as they believe, their own spiritual subjects. When Sir JOHN cites America and Canada, he forgets that in neither country is there any domi nant and richly-endowed sect: Perhaps the fact that there is in England has had more to do than any other cause with the deep seated disaffection of the clergy of all creeds to State education here. Dissenters fear that under any national system the Established Church would have the lion's share. It is so, indeed, with the money now voted for education. The Church, on the other hand, dreads the necessity the Go vernment is now under, of dealing on equal terms with all creeds. The one dreads any augmenta tion of the privileges of which it is already jea lous ; the other shrinks from anything which should put it on a level with unrecognised rivals. In America, and we may say in Canada in a great measure, this fertile cause of opposition to nati ona l education does not exist. There are no favoured 76(xlesiastioal sects, no Ecclesiastical Peers, no Crown patronage, no teachr::„ authorised by the State, scarcely dei!„,":;ing to speak to the untho ed D teactier, and, in conseque nce , no one that his creed or sect i s i n d anger f rom ris to feel en - 113 g the seltoel supported by a Government vrhich knows no distinctive sects, or by a rate which is administered by Ecclesiastical equals. We be lieve it is impossible to exaggerate the indirect obstruction to a national system of education, arising from the fact of an Established Church, surrounded by unestablished churches more than equal to it numerically considered. But neither Sir JOHN nor Lord JOHN contemplates dispens ing with the State Church fur the sake of State education. It is singular that as soon as the gre,ter part of the Scotch Church became an unendowed church, it went immedi- The Presidential Election has now been decided. However deeply we may regret the result and object to the means by which it was achieved, we must now regard it as an accomplished fact, and submit with the best possible grace to what is now irretrievable. There are, however, many points on which we can cordially oongratulate our transatlantic brethren. Although they were unable at the first serious contest to insure the triumph of their " standard-bearer" FREMONT they made a most creditable struggle ; and al though they could not achieve, most certainly deserved, success. The existing organisations, together with the full power of the Government, were too formidable to be defeated ; but the sharp end of the wedge has been introduced, and there is everything to encourage the free-soilers to anticipate a decisive triumph in 1860. The slave owners may exclaim, "another such victory will be ruin to our cause," but even that will, we hope and believe, be beyond their power. The next contest will test their strength to the utmost, and by that time the free-soilers, made conscious of their real power, will be enabled to eschew the divisions that have led to their defeat in the present instance. Four years since they bad not the slightest chance in their favour. FRANKLIN PIERCE had an absolute ° :majority of 212 in his favour, having outnumbered his opponent by at least 6 to 1 1 On the present occasion JAMES BUCHANAN bad but 30 majority—giving him credit for the four votes from California—the returns whereof had not yet been received, or little more than 6 to 5 of the electoral votes ! This alone was great progress in the right direction. But when we consider that FREMONT had a consi derable majority of actual votes over BUCHANAN, that he obtained no less than 12 out of the 16 free states—including, among his supporters, that which has been well termed the Empire State of New York, and the whole of theimportant districts of New England, the gallant " Pathfinder" may well be proud of the disinterested and honourable support which.he received, and which affords the most auspicious auguries of the future triumph of the good cause which he so efficiently represented. The planters stuck together with extraordinary unanimity. Not a single vote was bestowed on FREMONT. The only drawback was the sup port given to MILLARD FILLMORE in Mary land. I n the North the drab-coated gentry of Pennsylvannia cast their entire weight into the scale of the slaveowning and fili bustering party. Had the 27 votes of the dege nerate descendants of the companions of WILLIAM PENN been given to FREMONT, we might have congratulated America, aye, and Europe, on his success. Sufficient has, however, taken place to teach the Northerns their own power, and to render the planters more cautious in their proceedings than has hitherto been the case, Now that the heat of the contest has passed away, that time for more reasonable consideration has been afforded, even Mr. BUCHANAN may refrain from going OA) " entire animal,"4or pro ceeding to the lengths which his thick-and-thin advocates seem to anticipate. More reasonable counsels may prevail; the contest may not proceed to extremities, if the Southerns are contented to retain what they have without seeking a fur ther extension of power. We may still hope that the prudence of the President elect and his advisers may equally avert foreign war or inter nal commotion. There is time for all angry n ; we hope it may not be misapplied.wpasasstieodnsortoco cool down ow We would earnestly commend to the attention of our readers the letter from the Special Corre spondent of the Tunes, which we have extracted into another part of this day's impression.

The news of the election of General Klapka, a Hun garian refugee, as a member of the Great Council of State to the Canton of Geneva, has been received with great bitterness in Vienna. The commercial letters received yesterday from New York state that the stock-market has greatly improved, as the pressure on Europe is considered to be merely temporary. Lieutenant-Colonel Macbeath having been appointed to the command of the depot battalions at Glasgow he has left Woolwich, and proceeded thither to assume the duties of the appointment. A meeting was held in Manchester yesterday evening, at which a memorial was adopted, praying the Lord Chancellor to appoint paid scientific commissioners, in stead of the present law officers. An accident occurred off the harbour of West Hartle pool on Thursday last, by which it is feared three young men, named Pounder, Bonnier, and Rountree have met a watery grave. A gold buyer in Sydney, in his circular, says he bas 2,040 ounces of gold exposed in his window, and nearly 1,700 ounces more on his premises wanting transmission uy the escort. This would be rather a dangerous an• nouncement in London. Mr. W. H. Russell, the Times' correspondent at Bakshi Serai, has written a letter to his friends, dated the 4th instant, in which he states he is on his way home. There must be some error in the paragraph which has appeared, which stated this gentleman was dangerously ill. Au atrocious murder has been committed at Bathgate. Two men, named John and Thomas Maxwell, were way laid and violently assaulted by two Irish miners. Thomas Maxwell was stabbed to the heart and died instantly, but John was only slightly injured. The ruffians have been lodged in Linlithgow Gaol. OXFORD WORKING MEN'S EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. —The first anniversary of this institution will be cele brated on Monday, December Bth, by a dinner at the Town-hall, Oxford, at which the Rev. F. D. Maurice, M.A., and other gentlemen interested in the work of education will be present. THE LATE MR. BOGUE.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Wakley, coroner, relative to the death of Ir. David Bogue, of Camden road-villas, Camden-town. The evidence of Mr. Cousins, surgeon, of Camden-town, showed that deceased's death had arisen from disease of the heart; and the jury returned a verdict of "Death from na ural causes." PATENT LAW REFORM.—A meeting was held at the Town-hall, Manchester, yesterday evening, to memo rialise the Lord Chancellor to appoint paid scientific commissioners instead of the present law officers. The chair was taken by Mr. W. Faubairr, C.E., and a me morial and resolutions in favour of the object for which the meeti❑g was called were adopted. The arrangements in regard to the estate of Fox, Henderson, and Co., have been assented to by the great body of creditors, nearly all of whom have signed. The winding up will, therefore, be proceeded with without difficulty, and with but little delay. The works are going on as nand, and no more of the hands have been discharged. The Judge of the Westminster Consistory Court yes terday decided, in the case of "Lewis v. Smith," that, notwithstanding the statement of Mr. C.

A FRENCH RAILWAY SCHEME FOR TURKEY.—The capitalists of Paris are making great efforts to obtain from the Sultan concession for a line of railway from Coustantinople to Bussorab, by way of Alexandretta. This is intended as a counter scheme to the Euphrates Valley Railway, while it is urged England seeks still to maintain a monopoly of communication with the East Indies. WOODIN AT CHICHESTER.—It would be a singular thing to seeeulate as to what opinions the different cha racters represented in the "Olio " would form of Woodin himself, it they had to criticise his entertainment! The Old Playgoer would pooh podt the affair, and make some invidious comparisons with the late Mr. Mathews. Mr. Growler would call it all a pack of nonsense. Captain Smalltalk would feebly ejaculate "Tolerable." Giles Clodhopper would say "be be darned if be ever seed such a thing afore."—The West Sussex Gazette. The 560,000/, of gold brought by the Lightning was dilivered yesterday, but the purchasers on continental account were not prepared to take the entire sum, and 70,0001. was carried to the Bank. Ii may therefore be assumed that some proportion of the 700,0001. to be landed by the James Baines will also remain, especially as the Asia, from New York, on Monday may probably bring a considerable remittance. The purcbasera of silver on the continent, however, apart from any action of the Bank of France, must keep up a steady outflow sufficient to prevent at present any rapid accumulation here.

At least, this dirty piece of work assumed by Mr. Pierce should be finished by him. Why should the scheme which has broken down poor Pierce be transferred to the skoulders of Buchanan ? Why saddle bins with this " Old Man of the Sea ?" Mr. Pierce should relieve his succes'or of this ugly piece of business, and by admitting Kansas as a free State he will save Buchanan, save the Democracy, and put them on their pegs again, and return to Concord in a perfect blaze of glory. What will poor Pierce do ? It is plain what he °right to do but still the question recars, ".What will poor Pierce do ?"—Nei' Fork ifera/e. A letter just received from Vienna, dated No vember 19th, contains the following paragraph : " Correct plans have recently been made by military engineers of the two Bolgrads and their en virons, and the Austrians have come to the conclu sion that the Moldavian frontier will be totally un tenable if New Bolgrad is left in the hands of Russia. The British, French, Austrian, and Turkish Courts will of course settle the matter with Russia as they please, but if they do not insist on the cession of New Bolgrad to Moldavia, posterity will say that they neither did their duty to themselves nor to the nations over which they ruled." A letter just received, dated Berlin, Nov. 20, says :—" Almost all the letters from Paris correspondents contained in the papers of this morning state confidently that the Emperor had accepted the proposal, or complied with the request, made to him by General Dufaur in the name of the Swiss Confederation, to act as mediator between it and Prussia in the Neuchatel matter." The statement is not believed here. It is alleged with considerable positiveness, but also exclusively in Austrian quarters, that Prussia is taking part with France and Russia against England, Austria, and Turkey, in the matter of the Bessarabian frontier. The Triest Zeitung has a letter of some interest from Palermo. The subjects of England and France residing in the capital of Sicily have been assured that they will be protected by Government, and it is possible that the authorities purposely got up a little " emeute" in order to prove to the strangers how watchful they were. At an events, a crowd of people assembled at the beginning of this month in the neighbourhood of the University of Pa lermo, and cried " God save the King," and "Malediction on the Western Powers," until dispersed by the police. The correspondent adds, that as the Western Powers have refrained from any "more striking" demonstration, the King will make many important reforms, and grant an amnesty to all political offenders excepting a few of the ringleaders in the revolution of 1848. It is credibly related that the amnesty was signed the clay after the departure of the English and French Legations, and that the name of Poerio is at the head of the list." No guarantee can bo given for ' the correctness of the information received by the ,Triest Zeitung. PRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Emperor has decided that the word "Se bastopol " shall be inscribed on the eagles of all the corps that have taken part in the Eastern war, and that the words "Bomarsund," " Alma " " Inkerman," and " T ra k t i r, " will be inscribed on the eagles of the corps that have figured in these different combats. This disposition will be applied likewise tocorps which have only despatched detachments to the seat of war. A letter from Teheran, of the 22d of October, in the dioniteur, states, that up to that date Herat had not only fallen, but that Bokharan merchants asserted that there was no more than an imperfect blockade of some of the principal gates and roads. Provisions, and oven caravans, passed in and out. The Persian troops were suffering from want of supplies. By two Imperial decrees, pensions of 12,000 f. each are granted to Mme. Ducos, widow of the late Minister of Marine, and to Mine. Fortoul, widow of the late Minister of Public Instruction. Each of these ladies has two children, and these pensions are in reversion to the children, but only to the amount of 3,000 f. each. _ _ Admiral Behrens, who commands the small aqua -n at Cherbourg, gave a grand dinner two days 1 .-bard the Wiborg to the superior officers During the banquet and after, - fired salvos of artillery, which • shot by the French cor- 1 ago on 4.- of the garriso.., the Russian vessels ... were responded to shot r vette Newton.

Russia considers that course as an undue interference of foreign Powers in the internal affairs of Denmark." The Second Chamber of Hesse Cassel has fol lowed the example of the First, and demanded that the discussion on the, new constitution shall be public ; the Government Commissioner has op posed that course of proceeding. The Fresse, of Brussels, contains the following : —" At the moment of going to prose, we receive from Paris a despatch giving us the precise bearing of the last circular of Prince Gortschakoff. Ac cording to this despatch, which proceeds from an undoubted source, the circular of the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs is couched in moderate and conciliatory language ; but Russia abandons neither her opinions nor her claims on Bolgrad, and :,he calls for the meeting of a conference, to the deci :ion of which she will defer unhesitatinglY: The news given here in so positive a manner confirm' the intelligence which had already reached us on the subject from Berli n an d Vienna. dr.: had been again commuted into imprisonment in hi i own house." A letter from Naples of the 17th says :—" Naples is perfectly tranquil, and travellers need have no apprehension of disturbances here, nothwithstand ing the departure of the French and British mis sions. It is the interest of innkeepers in other parts of Italy to state that we are on the eve of a revolution, and unfortunately the Times news paper by its Own Correspondent' gives some colour to such reports ; but such is not the fact. I do not mean to uphold this Government in many of its acts—some of them are lamentable, and to be regretted; but the state of the country is not so bad as is represented, and it is absurd to say that the tranquillity of other parts of Italy is com promised by what has occurred here. Naples as a kingdom never has been well governed, and, we much fear, never will be in our time. Under the rule of the Spanish viceroys it was ten times worse." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 17th says :—" The Prussian note sent to Copenhagen on the 23d ult. replies to a note, accompanied by a memorandum, delivered here on the sth of September by the envoy extraordinary of Denmark, M. de Billow. In this memorandum Denmark adduced arguments to vindicate her proceeding s with r egar d to the duchies upon legal grounds. She further offered to yield to the representations of Holstein, in so far as regards the domains, by proposing a law to the Supreme Council, enacting that no lands be longing to the domains should in future be sold without the authorisation of the Superior Council by two-thirds of the votes. The following is an analysis of the reply of Prussia : " The note sets forth that, when the general constitu tion was proclaimed, the rights of the duchies were not sufficiently taken into account ; and that this neglec t can hardly be repaired by a law granting to a council in which the Danes possess a majority of nearly two to one, the right of deciding, by two-thirds of the votes, on a matter which admits of no decision. When Den mark introduced the general constitution, the Danish government, contrary to the terms of the declaration of the 28th of January, acted without consulting the German Provincial States, although the strict observance of the rights secured to the state under the guarantee of the great German Powers was perfectly reconcilable with a unitarian government iu Denmark. Now theme rights especially establish the competency of the States in all matters relating to personal rights, to property, and to public charges. Hence, Denmark ought first to have come to an understanding with the States on the limits to be drawn in those matters relating to the pro vinces, as well as in those relating to the whole monarchy. It is evident that such limits could be fixed in various ways, since they have been so in a very prejudicial sense as regarded the States. Next, there ought to have been an understanding come to with the States on the ques tion of what rights would be left to the latter, when a prtion of the rights of the representatives of each pro vince had been transferred to the reresentative organ of the wla, le monarchy. It would have been necessary at the same time to consider the position of the diffe rent portions of the monarchy as members of a unity, in which, according to treaties, no one i s t o be subordinate to the others. The right was not respected in the general constitution. It is not only the States ° f the Duchies, but likewise the Germanic Con fedtratioe which may exact from the Danish crown the respect for those rights and the accomplishment of the solemn pro iniee4 that had been made. The Danish governmen t must hasten to come to an understanding with the States, which it has hitherto neglected to do, if it wishes to spare the Germanic Confederation the disagreeab le task of taking the matter in hand and of providing a remedy. The note concludes by insisting on the neces sity of a prompt and definitive reply on the part of Denmark." THE MEDITERRANEAN• SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NiciaT.
