(By Telegraph to Cape Race.) NEW YORK, Oat. 18. General Meade officially reports that on the 14th the enernyat tacked his rear guard, consisting of the second corps, while menacing him on the flank. After a spirited contest the, enemy were repulsed, losing a battery, 5 guns, 2 colours, and 450 pri soners. Ths engagement was stated in the de spatch of the 15th, evening, as occurring at Bris tow's Station. On the evening of the 14th Lee attempted to flank Meade by way of Chantilly, and got in his rear through Fairfax Court-house. Lee's attempt was frustrated by General Meade Ifalling back to Fairfax. the cause to which he nad evoled it ruined. In comparison with this, personal feelings could not be weighed by any loyal and high-minded man, else he had cause enough. Those who for years had looked up to him as their political leader and representa tive, were now taught to regard him Vvith suspiLdon and dislike. He has been grossly misunderstood, and hence, no doubt, habitually misrepresented. When France the other day was called to elect representatives, ho was en unsuccesklul candidate for the situation which seems as much his own of right, as that of O'Connell to be the representative of Catholic Ireland, and it is impossible to doubt that somewhere or other the clergy could. have secured his return, To all these causes of de pref,:sion must be addtd that which made him so late in his anival at the Congress of Malines, and so early in hifi,'departure, a tormenting chronic malady. Moreover, .Montalembert cannot look forward with any certainty to a politicarchange, such as France has so often seen during the lastcentury, and which would restore him to his just station in political life. Although not old, his head is already crowned with grey (" a crown of glory," says Holy Scripture, when found in the paths of justice"). He may even anticipate the restoration of Parliamentary Govern ment in France, without expecting that he will take a part in it. He has exactly reached the period of life at which our unhappy countryman Gibbon, ba lancing the advantage and the evils of increasing years, felt compelled against his will to record th a t " two circumstances, the abbreviation of time, and the failure of hope, could not but tinge with a browner shade the evening of life," The objects of Lee's advance and the reason for Meade's refusal to accept battle form the subject of much conjecture. Charleston harbour is reported to be effectually closed against the entrance of the ironclads. The steamer Spaulding has been captured. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money easy.

How deep a shade of melancholy the political changes of their country have thrown over m any of those who were once the most prominent among th e politicians of the Parliamentary period, may be imagined. It strongly reminds us of the expres sions of Cicero, when he found himself excluded from public life by the success of Cce3ar in drawing into his own hands all the power of the State. High minded men who, in 1848, freely risked their lives in the cause of " law and order," may be heard to profess that if civil strife again broke out they would sit by their fireside with out looking out of the window, that the men of our day are not worthy of liberty, being " sales, Utes et meekants," such is the natural effect of poli tical disappointment upon men who are conversant only with the natural order.

The Dublin correspondent of the Times, under date the 24th, has the following edifying observa tions as to the probable successor of the late vener able and gifted Archbishop Whately A tremendous excitement has been produced among the EvangelicAl clergy hero by the announce ment that Canon Stanley has been offered the mitre of the Archbishop of Dublin. The fact that he is an Englishman is one objection, b ut this is merged in the dreadful charge of heterodoxy. He is be lieved to be the author of an article in the Edin burgh _Review, in which, it is said, he defended the authors of Essays and Reviews. He is accused of being a rank neologist, who does not go the length of Colenso only because he wants the moral courage to avow his convictions. Ho has written a letter to the Bishop of London recommending the abolition of clerical subscriptions. When referring in his works to the errors of other writers, he studiously avoids expressing what his own opinions are on the disputed points. From this his Dublin censors infer that he is decidedly unsound in his faith. There is a long indictment against him copied in some of the Protestant journals from the Church and State Gazette and the Daily Express is flooded N s - ith letters from the clergy containing sweeping cent'ures, and earnestly protesting against his ap pointeuent. But no language of his own has been quoted against him. Hitherto the evidence is all secondhand, They admit his learning, his eloquence, the fascination of his style, the excellence of his character; but they deprecate his appointment the more vehemently on account of these dangerous snares which would render the attractions of hereby irresistible. Come what will the clergy have re solved not to allow Lord Palmerston to taint the fountain of orthodoxy which has flowed so purely from Trinity College, Dublin. In vain they are re minded that Canon Stanley is the Chaplain of the Queen and of the Prince of Wales and of the Bishop of London, and that he is the Professsr of Ecclesi astical History in the University of Oxford. So much the worse, they would say, for the Queen, the elegy of London. They pro test Prince, th an a tth d ey th young w e i y lln n o g t have Canon Stanley to rule over them, even if their resistance involved the separation of the Church from the State. Any other Canon would be accepted, even an English one. They will give the Premier half a dozen to choo se f rom , —Canon M'Neile, dignissimus ; C:knon Boyd, of Paddington ; Canon Miller, of Birmingham. sr Any one, English or Irish, rather thou the neolo gical Canon Stanley." There is not, perhaps, a bishop in Ireland Rho hoped to step up to the vacant throne ; there is riot a dignitary who hoped to wear that bishop's mitre; there is not a clergyman who expected to get that dignitary's place; there is not a friend in the respective circles of those numerous expectant parties who would not be likely to swell the cry of neology and heresy against the New Archbishop of Dublin if Canon Stanley should accept the post, and submit to have his cha racter in the ecclesiastical pillory for several years to come. One clergyman has only ventured to write to a neutral journal, in defence of the ap pointment, and he asks some very pertinent ques tions : " Alas, sir, what is all the splutter in the news papers about? Do the Dublin clergy remember what a howl was raised at the advent of Dr. Whately 32 years ago ? Were those frantic pre dictions verified ? Do not many of the clergymen and laymen who opposed him most bitterly noW hang their heads, and blush for shame, when they think of that intensely prejudicial opposition. Has anything been said against Canon Sta n l e y w hich was not virtually said against his predecesso r p be r There is one class, I admit, which has a right to o of profoundly dissatisfied with the ,app° i tin Canon Stanley, such as formerly it hed of Dr. Whately. I mean the class whic h in this see the Established Church annihilate d f the case long to country. There are thinkers in Eng l and —" profound and judicious thinkers too, who firm l y or a nar row-minded a narrow-minded High Chur ch man , believe that, row-minded Evangelical, been la Dublin in 1831, the Establishe s et Church would not over the se e o f now he existing in Ireland. And what a re Canon Stanley's faults P Though quite a str anger much about him A to him, I perhaps know a s n i a tl ' n y 1 11 the ..s any write so PP Dublin of those who papers. will any o f his accusers tak e t h e trouble judgment for 48 hours till t h ey t h ei r of suspending have looked over some of his work s ? I do not say they will fin d in them elegant s c h olarship, deep eru dition, and a glow o f , chas tened feelin g (f or thi s i s admitted o n all sides), but I say they will find all the essen tials of the Christian faith in their purity forcibly and attractively stated. Canon Stanley is much more a man of the world—much better acquainted with the delicate shades of human cha racter—much less liable to be duped by assentation —much better qualified to maintain bis exalted posi tion in elegant society, and to leaven the magnates of the land with earnest religious feeling, than the admirable and single-minded Whately was." There is much truth in this. Whately, who may be said, in the phraseology of the Church of Rome, to have died " in the odour of sanctity," was de nounced as a Socinian—as one who denied the in spiration of the Scriptures—who was an enemy of the Bible, and an undermiuer of the faith. His assailants lived to see and to deplore their error re garding that great and good prelate ; and so, no doubt, they would in the case of his successor. A 'CUTE YANKEE BULL.—An American is re ported to have said that, if he knew that it was predestinated that he should be drowned in a particular lake, nobody would ever catch blin going within it mile of it. The Count de Montalembert, We would take the liberty of especially request ing our readers, says a weekly contemporary (the Register), to observe the answer given by anti cipation by the Count de Montalembert himself (in the second portion of his great speech the other day at Malines) to the objections suggested to many per sons whose opinions deserve great weight, by read ing the first half of his address without the second. It would of course be too much to expect that all will agree with all that he says, even as his meaning is explained by himself. But we do not see that particular objections which have been raised could have been more exactly answered if they had lain before the Count as he wrote. There are few things more remarkable than the confident, joyful, nay, triumphant tone of these anticipations of the condition and prospects of the Church and religion in Europe. For this cannot be mere sanguineness of natural character. It is no thing less than the exultant hope of a Christian. For what he says of himself is true. No man has suffered more than he from disappointments and re buffs. Three-and-thirty years ago M. de Montalem bert entered public life with the consciousness of talents of the first-class, and with the far greater hap piness of a cause worthy of ten-fold more than he could give, and to which he was wholly devoted. He cannot have failed to feel that he was born a great orator. He was heir to a great name, to a seat in the French House of Peers (which, like the Senate in the United States, was far more impor tant than the lower house), and to a future witich, judged by French standards, is very considerable. Before his years enabled him to take his seat, be made an impression upon the peers, which has not even yet been forgotten, by his speech in defence of liberty of education, when he pronounced for teach ing poor children, without authority from the or gans of the Government. Soon after he became the 4 leader of the Catholic party in Parliament, the in timate friend and sharer of the counsels of the bis hops and priests who were its life out of doors. English travellers who were electrified by the sacred eloquence of Father Lacordaire from the F ulpit of Notre Dame, thought it almost as great a thing to have seen the great layman at its foot. For years he had the joy of seeing the high success of a work in which he was by no means the least important labourer. No English Catholic could possibly be what Montalembert then was ; because there is no other Catholic party large enough to place him in such a position. At last, after 18 years of incessant work, in opposition to the powers of the State and the leading statesmen of Fra nce, the National feel ing was so greatly leavened that when the Revolu tion of 1848 came the populace of Paris declared in support of the Church w hich in 1830 they h a d regarded as their enemy and oppressor, and th e Ministers of the Republic proposed to the Chambers and carried through i t a measure for the f ree d om o f education which, though not all that could be de sired, was far more than the Catholics had ever hoped to see. As another change, the R e li g i ous b a d been driven from F r a nce , were Orders, which so openly restored that Father Lac or d a i re t oo k hi s seat in the chamber in hi s Dominican habit. Thus far a ll had been victory ; not easy, indeed, but solid, a nd so much the dearer, because crown ing a n obstinate long-continued struggle. And what has followed ? Two objects had hithe r t o b ee n inseparable in the life of this great and good man —the maintenance of free institutions, and parliamentary government, and the un iti ng a l l French Catholics together as loyal subjects, both to su pport these institutions of their country and to deman d, not as a favour but as a right, that they s hould be enjoyed to the full Catholic Church, no less than by politicians and traders ; that religious worship and education should be as free as political action or political discussion. For many years all Frenchmen had demanded liberty; all French Catholics had demanded its application to reli gion. As the leader in maintaining these prin , ciples he had come to the prime of life, and now that he was approaching failing years he might expect that the success would make him, for many years to come, one of the most powerful and most useful public men in France. All at once Came a state of things is which the nation is ruled by one man whose strength is in the support of the army. Very many Catholics, probably the great majority, have become advocates of absolute power, almost if not quite to the extent of laying down that a man who professes political libery can not be a good Catholic. The effect of this last change on Frenchmen at large hes been to make i them believe that the Catholic relig ion is r eally n consistent with liberty, and that t he loudfrdo 1830 for liberty uttered by French Catholics emmands was this felt till 1848 were insincere.

Alexis 11., and 'A n dronicus I.—all the Emperors of Trebizond, and avast number of g enerals, states men, and authors, were descended from the family of the Comneni ; but, while almost all of them were distinguished by the choicest natural gifts, both of mind and of body, really of them were notorious for a laxity of morals, in which they. Were excelled by none of their frivolous countrymen. Impe rial families, such a s the Ducie, the Angell, the Paktologi, s(;vera l royal houses in E urope, and even the reigning dynasty of the Sultans in Turkey, boasted, and still boast, of being descended from the C,omneni ; and, down to this very day, the 1 metensions of a noble family in France to be entitled by descent to the name of Prin ces de Comneni have attracted the attention of historians of repute. A history of that family would be a most valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Greeks (hiring the middle ages. When the Comneni first became known in history, in the 10th century, they belonged to the Greek nobility in Asia, and their family seat was at Castamone, a to wn in Paphlagonia, near the Black Sea, wher e Alexis Comnenu s, afterwards emperor, visited the palace of his ancestors dulls ig the reign of Michael VII. (Ducal Parapinaces). Towards the close of the 10th century two Corn_ neni (Manuel and Nicep'ao?Jus) became conspicuous, who were probably brothers an d sar e generally called the ancest ors , of the Comnenian family N.B.—The names of Emperors in the 414 M NaigZcc Printed ill wean capitals are QIGQ4 F.4lllNrorse nne=Wolodornir, Gran Grand Duke Taroslaus: 361 lag, ats, ms, all the ind the ere, ;ies. —s Ms; eas, and ass. 425. ;tuts 38s 23. 10. 12, 29. 29.
