As we had anticipated, the second reading of the Marriages Bill was yesterday carried by a clear and decisive majority of 52—no less than 182 Members having recorded their votes in favour of the removal of the unjust and impolitic restriction now in force, while 130 persons only appeared to sustain the ex isting law. This is as it should br. The British Parliament will not abandon the proud position it has assumed of high liberality and universal toleration. Me. STUART WORTLEY must not, however, in any degree relax his exertions. He has bold and unscru pulous adversaries, who will not hesitate as to the means by which their objects may be achieved. Every advantage that can be taken of the rules and farms of the House, every species of Parliamentary strategy will be resorted to in order to pro crastinate and retard the progress of the measure. The Fabian policy must especially be guarded against, and every attempt at delay must be strenuously and vigorously resisted. The Hon. Member for Bute is Placed in a position of no ordinary responsibility. The future h3ppiness of thousands of his countrymen and countrywomen depends on the result. The status in society of tens of thousands of innocent children is involved in the issue. His clients are numerous, and the subject is indeed one of vital impor tance to them. He must reflect upon these un questionable facts, steel himself against the insidious blandishments that may be made use of, and reso lutely refuse any compromise. If he succeed, and bring the matter entrusted to his charge to a happy termination, great will be his glory, ' and he will he r 611 ai Lied with the praise and blefir,gs of many faithful hearts. But if he should fail, through any error or mistake on his own part, the censure and reproach to which he will be subjected will be of eqaal magnitude. We ' trust that this warnieg is unnecessary, and that the measure will be passed with all convenient speed through the popular branch of the Legislature, and that it may be sent to the House of Peers with the sanction of a majority at least as decisive as that which yesterday affirmed its principle. Nothing was, perhaps, more remarkable in the debate than the complete absence of any of the ordinary rules by which votes are influenced. Two I persons, from whom we should have expected the Most liberal sentiments on every question bewing on LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, )850 the religious liberty of the subject, arrayed them selves among the opponer...ts of thl Bill, and made by far the must powerful speeches against its principti. It is true that the Honourable Memberlfor Sheffield and the Right llon. the Master of the Mint, abandoned the high ground of Scrip tural or canonical prohibition, and rested their case eoiely on the "social incoavenimcas." They did not claim for any particular church or sect the right of binding the consciences of their fellow-subjects, and of excluding without the pale of the constitution all who ventured to differ from the opinions of the do minant party. But was not such practically the consequence of their vote , , and might not any act of bigotry and intolerance be justified on similar grounds ? Might not the removal of the Catholic disabilities or the enfranchisement a Dissenters have been resisted with equal f,rce for the very same reasons ? If we were dissatisfied with the arguments of Mr. ROEBUCK and of Mr. SUEIL, we ware most agreeably surprised by the admirable address oF Mr. SPOONER. That Hon. Gentleman, in a speech that did him infinite credit, brought forward the clearest and most statesmanlike views. He depicted the case of a poor man whose wife had died, and who, labour ing under that painful deprivation, found it utterly impossible to attend to the wants of his children, with a sister in-law in the funily of such a person, almost his only companion. It was contrary to nature to suppose that such a connexion could exist without affection springing up between the parties, and yet they. were restrained by the consideration that it was against the law of man, while at the same time they did not feel it to be contrary to the law of GOD ; and he boldly asserted the proposition, that "they had no right to put a restriction on the marriage of such persons, unless they could prove that it was founded on the Word of GOD, or necessary for the social happiness and comfort of the large mass of the people.'' On such a question no mere balance of convenience would be sufficient to justify the restriction, although, if such were the case, it could easily be shown that the preponderance was at the other side. The Hon. Gentleman also clearly explained the melancholy state ( f immorality in which many persons lived, in consequence of the existing law, "to an extent that would horrify and distress every man of right feel ing and proper mind," and he proved that " that im morality was attributable to their imperfect human laws, and by taking upon themselves that which they, in his judgment, had no right to take." Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT also most ably proved that the House was not justified in resting the question solely on religious grounds. He would not himself enter into such a connexion, and as far as he was personally concerned, he gave a cordial and unhesi tating assent to the deprecation of such marriages ; but he did not therefore consider himself warranted in legislating for others whose views were altogether different, and_he truly declared that "the House of Commons was not a convocation or council, and that they had no right, as they had no competency, to dis cuss nice theological questions, or matters of eccle siastical law. Let them not interfere with respect to the laws which the Church of England had esta blished for her own government, which were left untouched by the operation c f the Bill. But with respect to other religious bodies, who had no such laws, who had no canons to restrict them from con tracting marriages of this description, these were clearly restrictions which prevented them from con tracting marriages which, according to their own re ligions, were perfectly justifiable, and those restric tions should be removed without any delay." The Honourable Members for Pontefract, South ampton, Youghal, and the West Riding, also placed the question on its true basis, and made most con vincing argumentative speeches, that must have been perfectly conclusive to any unprejudiced mind. The result was the satisfactory division to which we have alluded, and which must bring the matter to a happy termination, if Mr. STUART WORTLEY be true to himself and to the just and holy cause of which he has come forward as the advocate and champion. Tuesday having witnessed the swearing-in of Lord CAMPBELL es Lord Chief Justice of England, we trust that his Lordship will very soon afford the country a guarantee of his determination to emulate the bright example of his predecessor by voluntarily and spontaneously abandoning all association with the present Government. such a proceeding on bis part would be a brilliant augury of his judicial career in that post of the previous occupants el which he has so recently rendered himself the annalist. Historian of the "Lord Chief Justices of England," and now Lord Chief Justice himself, his ju ig ment must be peculiarly alive to the large and heavy responsibilities devolving upon him in his new character. Erudition and observation have alike impressed upon him the paramount neces sity of abandoning all political predilections imme diately on his entrance upon the new and venerable office to which he finds himself elevated in the autumn of his reputation. The recognition of this fact in his instance no longer requires argument, and hence, with a due recollection of his personal and profes sional antecedents, we cannot remain for an instant in doubt as to his determination. Lord CAMPBELL will of course at once sunder himself from all con nection with the Cabinet. He will insulate himself and his present lofty responsibilities from all the agitating influence of Ministerial partizanship, aware that by so doing he can alone succeed in that "con stant endeavour" which, on being rung out of bin coin's inn, he avowed his resolution to make, "to set Lord DENMAN'S bright example before his eyes, in the hope of following him, though at a distance." The fulfilment of this resolution is due, we aver, to the eminence already attained by Lord CAMPBELL in so many and such various capsciies. Taking a retrospective view of the career of the present Lord Chief Justice of England, we are satis fied that all sill coincide in opinion —that it is due to himself, by reason of all his previous successes, that he should thus prove himself, in all par ticulars, sedulous in the emulation of his illus trious predecessor. From the period of his being called to the bar, in 1807, nay, we might almost say from the time of his first en trance into Lincoln's Inn as a legal student, Lord CAMPBELL has betrayed a laborious application to his profession, such as entitled him to all his sub sequent advancement. His celebrated Nisi Prius Reports would of themselves be a sufficient attesta tion of this, even if his toiling assiduity as a legal reporter had not been followed by his forensic labours and his arduous literary occupation.. Out of the latter have proceeded, within a very recent interval, those biographies of the Lord Chancellors of England which have tended so materially to enrich the already fruitful stores of our national literature. It has consequently come to pass that Lord CAMPBELL has himself eclipsed his reputation as a legal reporter by his reputation as a legal histo rian. Let US hope, that having now ascended the judicial chair of the Lord Chief Justice of England, he will surpass all his previous achievements by the dignity, the benignity, the impartiality, and the so called "indifference" of his judicial administration. In foll Owing immediately upon the retirement of a personage of illustrious character, no matter in what capacity, whether as a lawyer, a statesman, an orator, or a Lord Chief Justice, there is of course always to the successor a blending of advantages and disadvan tages. Among the advantages the principal is that of possessing a brilliant and appreciable example to emulate. Among the disadvantages the most conspi cuous is the probability of perpetual and depreciative comparisons. These will doubtless be agreeably and disagreeably experienced by the present Lord Chief Justice of England. Yet we believe the coun try, _ and especially the profession, will have that confidence in Lord CAMPBELL that they are not in his case prepared for any disappointment. On the contrary, we are satisfied that huth the public and the profession have an implicit reliance upon the ca pacity of the Noble and Learned Lard to fulfil to the uttermost extent his many severe and honourable re sponsibilities. They are conscious that here, at least, the Government have not been precipitate in their se lection, but, that actuated by a profound solicitude to compensate as much as possible for the heavy loss experienced in the retirement of Lord DENMA N in con sequence of his increasing infirmities, they have chosen as his successor the man of all others, in their opinion, best qualified to follow in his majestic footsteps. While the peptilor heitrt will furl a illness limn of a aisfaction in this elevation of L , rd CAMPBELL to th e Chiet-Justiceship of England, it v.ill be som' matter of regret that the conseqqcnt elevation of the E Sri of CARLISLE to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster may possibly militate injuriously against the continuance c f his beneficent le.bours as a . sanitary re - former. In such a dol:bt, however, we are sanguine that the people mly find themselve s to have been altogether deceived ; believing, as we do, that that good and distinguished state_man will apply himself as energetically to the amelioration of the condition of the poorer inhabitants of our more densely populated cities as when he participated in the labours of the Parliament, simply as Representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire, or as when he shared in the reformatory efforts of the Cabinet, simply as the principal Commissioner in the Woods and Forests De partment. A philanthropical legislator such as Lord CARLISLE is not to be daunted from the pursuance of a nob!e course by the mere circumstance cf a change in his minis terial position. Nay, we are persuaded that, having adventured upon the labour of eff_Tting a vast sani tary improvemt nt throughout the country, he will not pause in his endeavours because of his having attained an accees'ou to his influence and dignity as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. But for his removal from the seat of the Legislature by his appointment as Ambassador to France, the Marquis of NORMANDY would never, we are sure, have relax d in the same generous efforts to improve the social comforts and physical situation of the commu nity. Unlike the Marquis of NORMANDY, the Earl of CARLISLE still fortunately possesses the capacity to advance the cause of sanitary reform in the House of Lords on every available opportunity. That he will do so the public may rest confident; and hence it is we are persuaded that the nation will find no more reason to regret his elevation to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster than the simultaneous elevation of Lord CamrnELL to the Chief -Justiceship of England. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. At the sitting of the National Assembly on Tues day, M. Dupin, the President, announced that he had received a requisitory from the Attorney-General, M. Baroche, asking to be authorised to take legal proceed ings against M. Michel de Bourges, for having on the Ist of March, in the commune cf Montmartre, ad dressed a speech to an auditory, composed of 800 per sons, assembled at the Hermitage, in which he attacked the principle of property in the following terms : " The day after their triumph the people will inquire into the origin of fortunes and capital, and proceed to wind up the accounts of the bourgeoisie. They will be justified in so doing, after examining the accounts of royalty, unless the bourgeoisi e should vo l un t ar il y consen t to the sacrifice, which I strongly recommend them to do. The people produce everything, and it is to them consequently that everything belongs. Let us accordingly uniee, and we will come out victorious from the contest. It is for that reasun we entreat you to be peaceable, in order that we may one day say to our enemies--' Do as w e have do ne; we have too long submitted to you. You may rest assured that they will do so. Is . our present social state possible or durable ? Are there not, in our society, many individuals who live in comfort able idleness, whilst others work very hard and lead a wretched existence ? The Re-public, as it exists to day, is a mere empty word. The possession c f man by man must at last cease," &c. This communi c ati on was received by the I e f t w ith loud murmurs, and one of them cried, "This is an electioneering manoeuvre." M. Michel de Bourges, having ascended the tri bune, said that he had thrice spoken at electoral meet ings, as an elector, and not a representative of the Teeple. Ho protested on his honour—anti five of his colleagues, and 2,000 citizens of Montmartre, who him, would attest, that the wor d s ihmadputheedar to him had not been uttered by him. He, on the contrary, preached conciliatio n , an d h e ld out the list adopted b y t h e O ppos i t i on as a pledge of re conciliation between the bourgeois and the working classes. I ke d e fi e d t h e M inistry and its agents to substant iate their charge. Ile had said that it was time the misunderstanding existing be ts% een the bourgeois and the people should cease, and that both should take each other by the hand. The speech ascribed to him by the Constitutionnel was a fabricvion. He had de scribed the Socialist list as the symbol of three principles—the improvement of the people by science, by, the election cf Vidal, their moral amelioration by educatior, by that of Clrno‘, and a moral and material interest, that of justice, by the election of Flotte. The greatest order and dignity had prevailed at all the meetings, and he defied any man to cite a single word pro nounced by him on that occasion, or during his whole li‘e, against religion, property, or family. He had not read the Constitutionnel, or he should have in stantly protested, as he did two days afterwards, when the forgery was made known to him. At the meeting on the Boulevard Bourdon, held on Satur day, he had said that if the labourers gave their arms and the bourgeois their capital, they would form a great association, which would save society. This was very different from the expressions placed in his mouth. He was no enemy of capital—(Laughter)— but he thought that it was not unlawful to inquire into its origin. M. Rouher, Mini▪ ster of Justice, said, that having read in a proces-verbal, dr awn up b y a j u di c i ary officer, an attack against the pri nc ipl e o f p ro p er ty, he had considered it his duty to propose to the Assembly to authori▪ se proce e di ngs aga i nst M. Mi c h e l de Bourges, to whom it was imputed. The Assembly ens the sole judge, and would decide if the explana tions entered into by M. Michel de Bourge3 were suf ficiently explanatory. As to what the latter said re specting the three candidates, inieribed on what he called the list of conciliation, he (M. Itouher) re garded them as the candidates of ignorance, insur rection, and labour, organized on the principle laid down by the delegates c f the Luxembourg, and he trusted that the good sense of the people would dis criminate between their real and perfilious friends. Th The and on being consumed,t hat t t requisitory of le declared ur gency, the Attorney-General should b e re f erre d to the bureau, which should appoint a special committee to exemine i*. The President next read a letter of the Minister of Justice, including a report of the Commissary of Police of LA Villette, in which M. Bancel, another representative of the Montagne, was stated to have used language offensive to the Legislative Assembly, which he divided into two hostile camps, the one representing monarchy and op pression, and the other republic and emancipation. Ile had declared that the former, composed of 500 in dividuals, had deprived the people of the sacred right of meeting, of liberty of thl press and thought, and the expedition to of f sed that l anguage , an d Rome, a dv .A, 'o i c . at c. e the ad m iltetgeidt having macy anl said that he was ready to appear before his sovereign judge the country. The Assembly, on being consulted, unanimously decided that the language used by 11. Bancel was not offensive, and passed to the order of the day. The Assembly then proceeded to discuss the Bill authorising the PRESIDENT of the Republic to ratify the treaty of commerce with Chili. The Bill was read a second time. The majority of the Committee on the Bill which purposes to give to the. Government the appointment of the mayors and deputy-mayors in the provinces are unfavourable to the Bill, This result has been brought about by the coalition of the parti-pretre with the Reds. It would appear, however, from the statement of the Journal des Dlbats, that the Legiti matises have already repented them of their victory. The Electoral Union has published the official re turn of the preliminary elections. The number of votes given was 61,992, and the eanditates who have obtained the greatest number etand in rotation as follows General LAIIITTE, M. BOUJEA V, M. For, General LAFITTE obtained a considerable majority over the other candidates. MM. CHAIRED, CHAMEAU, ARRIGKI DE PADUA, THAYER, and MARDEAu who were candidates on th e list cf the Electoral Union, have announced their withdrawal from the competi tion in compliance with the obligation they had con tracted, and in the interest of the cause of order. M. COMBAREL DE LFYVAL presented the follow ing amendment to the Paris and Avignon Hallway Bill : Ttio W o rksii;aiitiorized to con cede, under sealed tenders, and on the general condition, of the cahiers ales charges. "First, the ra il way f rom P a ris to Lymis on tLe re imbursement t o the Sate of a sum not less than GO millions of f rancs; an d, seco ndly, the tlilway from Lyons to Mignon, with a branch paid by the 6tut? which shall not excee d 50 m illions." The steam-frigate Prong, intended to form Part of the La Plata expedition, has sailed fur the third time, from Toulon. - - A court-martial in the 6 h military division has sentenced to death five soldiers of the 17th Light Infantry, for refusal to obey orders in Lyons on the 15th of June.

The budget of expenses for 1850, as approved of by the Cortes, amounts to 11,492,167/. Thus the excess of expenditure over and above that sum on New Yeat's Day will be 4,376,990/.

A telegraphic dispatch, in the Kiilner Zeitung, from Thrlir, of the 4th instant, gives a list of the names of the gentlemen whom the Prussian Government has appointed for the States (or Upper) House of the Erfurt Parliament. The list stands as follows :—Count Arnim-Boitzenburg, Prince Croy-Diilmen, Count Donah-Schlobitten, Herr von Duesberg, Dr. Eichhorn, Count Finken stein •Jaeskendorf, Colonel von Hermann, Herr von Hiller, Herr von Kleist-Retzow, Count La-Wissen, General-Superintendent Moller, Prince Putbus, Prince Radziwill, Duke cf Ratibor, Count Rittberg, Prince of Solms-Lych, General Strotha, Dr. Telle mann, Count Waldersee, Count Zech-Burkerarode. Another dispatch of the same date states that M. Delbriick, one of his Majesty's Privy Councillors, has been sent to Vienna for the purpose of making some confidential proposals respecting the regula tions of the Austrian tariff. The points proposed have been communicated to the members of the Zoliverein. The following are the leading points of the Prussian offer:— " 1. Free exportation and importation of sundry arti cles of raw produce, bread stuffs, and half manufactures. "2. Free transit of goods through Germany to Aus tria, and mice versa. "3. Mutual assistance in the frontier service. "4. Regulation of the navigation of rivers, and of river duties. " 5. Regulation of the communications by post, rail way!, telegraphs, and steamers between the two coun tries." Baron RADOWITZ was expected to arrive at Berlin on the 4th inst. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist of March says : " The German constitutional question has entered a new phasiP. According to .information which we have received, and which we believe to be correct, a conven tion was signed on the 26th February between the Ministers of Bavaria, Wurenaberg, and Saxony, with respect to the constitutional question of Germany. Ac cording to all appearances, AusLia encouraged this plan. Hanover, whose adhesion was expected up to the eleventh hour, has not joined this convention of 26th February." The same journal of the 21 inst., gives further particulars : " The signing at Munich c f a new convention relative to the German constitution, tetween Bavaria, Wurtem berg, and Saxony, is fully confined. The tiguatures were affixid on the 27th, and not, as stated yesterday, on the 26th." The report of a prolongation of the armistice be tween Prussia and Denmark has not been confirmed by subs( quint advices. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, Mxßcu 4.—The Second Chamber, in its sitting this day, accepted unanimously, without putting to the vote, and without discussion, first, the project of law concerning an augmentation of the budget of 1849, necessary for covering the interest of Treasury bands; and, secondly, the project of law relative to an augmentation of the expenditure of the non valeurs during the years 1843 to 1848. Atter passing these two laws, Mr. SLOET VON OLDHUIS called upon the Minister of the Colonies to explain the causes of the great want of provision which at this time prevails in several parts of Java. A long debate ensued as to the desirableness of a question of that kind being mooted, and at the request of the Minister and several members, Mr. OLDHUIS withdrew his motior. The Committee of the Chambers, appointed to re port on the Government project of law on postal affairs, has terminated its work. It appears that several members of the Second Chamber are decidedly opposed to the continuance of the Government mono poly of the Post-office in its present exclusive cha racter. They consider that a medium should be adopted, permitting the transport of letters by pri vate speculations, provided each letter was subject to a duty. They are also cf opinion that the tariff pro posed by Government is too high, and that the charge for a single letter ought to be 20 grammes. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, FEB. 27.—The Berlinger Zeitung publishes an extract from the project of law relative to the new loan. From this it appears that the Prus• sian Government has already paid the Danish Govern ment the sum of 216,000 dollars for the demands male by Denmark for the damage sustained by Jut land, by the army under the orders of General WRANGEL, in 1848. It is stated that Denmark and Russia have con cluded a private treaty, by which the former will cede to Russia the island of B.rnholm, for its support in the event of fresh hostilitie3 with Schleswig. The Baltic Journal, of the 24th, says— " We are authorised to state that, in a Ministerial conference held last night, it was delei mined to abstain from any further negotiations relative to a fixed pre longution c f the al mistiee. This resolution has been communicated to-day to the Ambassadors of the mediat ing powers, with the observation that the interests of Deomark under present circumstances called for such conditions which in Ihe opinion ot the Government could not be accepted by Prussia or Germany." ITALY. A letter from Rome contains the following curious gossip on the subject of the expected return of the PorE " A few days slice, General Baraguay d'Hilliers went to Civita Vecchia to receive his sister, the widow of General Damrement, who was expected from France on a visit to him at Rome. The au thorities of Civita Vecchia, accompanied by the municipality, having waited upon him in a compli mentary manner, his Excellency assured them spon taneously and repeatedly that the Pope wou4l shortly return to the capital of the Catholic world, and that as soon as his Holiness arrived at Rome all the French troops would retire from the Papal dominions. As was natural, this news—coming from such an authentic source—was immediately divulged, and being communi cated hero to the bankers, ev,:s believed by many; so that in the course of three da) s they refused to receive bills upon England and Prance, because the exchange was expected to go down considerab;y. Tho English Consul, desirous of knowing the truth from the mouth of the General himself, took a lvantage of meeting him at the ball he gave that night to question him upon the subject. But what was his surprise on receiving a decisive negative regarding the supposed re turn of the Pope, accompanied by this ob servation, ' Ile does not come because he is afraid.' But,' observed the consul,. they write from Civita Vecchia that your Excellency assured them to the cot trary." The Civita Vecchia people Ctme, come,' replied the General, with his sardonic mocking laugh, ' the Civita Vecchia people ! and who pays any attention to those poor creatures? I told them the first thing that came to my mouth. voila tout. I repeat to you that the Pope will not come because he is afraid.' " On the same night, and at the same ball, he said to General Cordova, If the Pope does not come very soon he will not come back, although he wishes it, for many years.' " The whole of the Spanish troops are to leave the Roman territority immediately. The Opinione of Turin, of the 23, gives a letter from Trieste, of the 28th ult., which states that the Austrian Government had sent a force of 25,000 men into Dalmatia, in order to guard the coast of the Adriatic. The object of this measure is said to be to prevent any disturbances which might occur in consequence of the proceedings - of the English fleet at the Pirmus. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. FRENCII PLAYS. Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Hi g h ness Prince Albert, honoured these delightful perform ances with her presence last evening. The opera was Les Dimling de la Couroaae. Sparkling. ;n6 the jewels from which it takes its title, thin, one of the brightest gems of Auber, was last evening perfictly rendered by all the artistes engaged in its produc tion. Mademoiselle Charton was in excellent voice, and sung and acted with infinite taste and spirit. She was admirably supported by M. Lac ; and the orchestra, under the able conduct of M.

A CHILLI AND THE ROMAN 1 INQUFITION.— (TILTS DAY.) A public meeting of persons holding tine principles o' the Protes net Re formation was hsld this 109:11iLlg iu Exstei -hall, to welcome die return of De. Achilli, The ant jcct of the mentir.g seemed to excite considerable in tercet amongst the Evsrgelical portion of the reetrope lis, and some thee before the co/iv/mime-merit ( 1 die pre - ccedings there was not a vacant seat in the g - erta hall, while the doers and passages leading t i the hail were thronged with disappointed parties who had been unable to obtain admission. The galleries were file 1 with ladies, of whom there appeared to be a preponderance in the meeting, and the platform crowded with eminent di vines who have rendered themselves famous by the ec centricity of their manner, the depth of their learning, or the eke - pence a (heir preaching. Anioneit them we observed the Rev. Dr. FL tuber, the Rev. Mr. Binney, Dr. Jerniege the Rev. John Granville, the Rev. Jot n Burnet, and the Rev. Blptist Neel. At elevee o'clock precisely, Dr. Achilli ascended :Ile pletnirm, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Immediately afterwards the chair eves taken by i'dr. Bev sr, when three (tenzee of a hymn were given out by the Re v. - Mr. Latroep, and surer Icy the meeting, ant the Rev. Gentlemen having then invoked the Divine We:- sing on the proceeding of Iles day, The CIIAIRISIAN proceeded to address the meeting 011 the occasion which had called them together, regretting that some person of big! er station had not been called upon to preside over it. The objects of the meeting were--first, to congratulate Dr. Achilli upon his escape from the jaws of the Inquisition, and, second, to take:steps for aelvaecing the interest of Protestantism. It was a new sight to see one who suffered f.om the tyranny of the Romish inquisition, but it served the good purpose of convincing them that Popery was the sane now that it had ever been. It was a disgrace to the nineteenth century that the accursed Inquisition still existed, and although the trickery of Popery might attempt to set up the excuse that Dr. Achilli was imprisoned for a moral and not a religious offence, yet there could be no doubt that the Doctor's incarceration was attributable to his desire to promote religious truth. Now, if such tyranny could be tolerated uner a liberal and benevolent Pope, what would have been the case had a Hyldebrand now occupied the Papal chair.—(Cheers.) He would not de tain them further, but call upon Dr. Steven to explain the measures which had been taken for secuting the re lease of Dr. Achilli. Dr. STEVEN informed the meeting that Dr. Achilli received his early educe tion amongst the Jesuits, and at the age of sixteen became a monk elect in the order of Lyola, in the Dominicans. He obtained rapid distinction, and while yet a young man he was nominated Professor of Philosophy and Theology of Virturpo. Leaving Virturpo, he went to Rome and was appointed a profes sor in the Minerva College, the chief horns of the Domi nician order; but afterwards he was nominated to the office of friar of a convent in Capua, where be obtained considerable celebrity as an eloquent preacher. Nor were these all the distinctions he bad obtained while yet a Romanist. He had said enough, however, to convince the meeting that even amongst Roman Catholics the Doctor had been highly honoured and reverenced, and was not the bad character which his enemies had since attempted to paint him.—(Hear, hear.) He now approached the period when a change took place in the religious sentiments of the doctor. There were amongst the Doctor's pupils at this time a number of young men who had questioned him closely on the topic of transubstantiation, and finding that ho could net answer them satisfactorily, he had recourse to the writings of the Reformers. These convinced him of the errors of Romanism, and afterwards discovering that the doctriees of Pope Pius IV. were a tissue c f falsehoods from beginning to end, his religious feelings underwent an entire change. The superiors re his order were not blind to this change, and in order to put his sincerity to a test, he was nominated on one of the Remish festival days to preach a sermon in honour of the Virgin Mary. This the Doctor could not conscien tiously do, and the result was that he was summoned bef ire the Inquisition at Rome, who dismissed him from all the offices he had held in the Romish Church. The Doctor then sought refuge from the creatures of the In quisition in Italy in British possessions. He first went to Corfu and then to Malta, where he wrote two letters, one addressed to Gregory XVI. and the present Pope, stating that subsequent research had fully con firmed him in the treth of Protestantism; and in 1848 he came to England for the second time to at tend the Evangelical Alliance, a hich tl at year was held in Bristol. During the holding of that conference on arrangement was made for extetiding Protestanism, under the direction of Dr. Achilli, in the Roman and Italian States, and when the Pope was driven from Rome the Doctor repaired to that city. He there com menced his operations as a I,:rotestant missiorary, and having circulated Bibles which he had brought with him from England, he took steps to have the Scriptures, which had never been dune before; printed in the verna cular language of the country. While thus engaged the Roman Republic was overturned, end the Pope restored to his throne by the French Government. The Doctor ecrupulouely anstateed throughout from taking any part in the political affairs cf the state. His mission he felt was purely a religious one, but being a Protestant, he of course was not free from the hatred of the Romish Church, and eventually he was arrested by Italian sol diers aid thrown into the (lunge of the Inquisition. Through, however, tl.c instrumentallity of Mr. Freetatl, the British Consul, at Rome, the Doctor was removed from these damp dungeons to the Cat e of St Angelo. A deputation was then appointed to go over to France, to seek his release, ho were readily aided by the Marquis of Nerreanby, and they ultimately stvisfial the French Government that the Doctor was incarcerated fur a reli gious and not a moral offence. Theyproved that the charge against the Doctor of having seduced and murdered a nun at Virturpu was a trumped up affair, and that the a al cause of his imprisonment was his religious views, and his having circulated Protestant Bibles in Rome. A portion of the deputation then went to Rome, and re tained a Roman lawyer of some eminent. et, whom they sent to Virturpo to investigate the charae f murder and seduction against the Doctor. The charge was disco vered by the Learned Gentleman to be a malicious slander, and the French Government now demanded the libera ion of the doctor. The Pope, however, who had been a shuffle: in the matter throughout, wished the re lease to stand over till he had returned to Rome and in vestigated the question, but the French Government would not stand this at all, and they sent a body of their soldiers to the Castle of St. Angelo, and obtained pos session of the Doctor's person, on the pretence that he was required to give evidence before a court-martial. The Doctor now felt that 1 e was fere,land left alone in an ape:talent at Rome, he dressed himself as a French soldier, and thus disguised, ho got without the walls of Rome. He then repaired to Paris, where he was gladly received and welcomed by the British Ambassador, and ultimately found his way back to the metropolis of Eng land. That was a succinct account of the doctor's his tory, and the meeting established the efficiency and sub limity of the Evaagetical union which had brought about the rely see of the doctor.—(Cheers.) Dr. Aoneene then addressed the meeting in Italian. The following, however, is a translation Of the purport of his speech (—I praise God that I am amongst you again, and in the name cf . God I pr. sent me sett before you this morning. The Church of God is dear to me, and I thank the Lord, tege ther with you, for my release. You have prayed fur me, and in the solituee of my prison I united my prayers with yours, which ascended to he lien, n here they were accepted at the throne of the Lord, and my liberation was decreed. I was heppy in my prison, because, although in prison, I knew the Lord was with me, and I had my Bible with me. Oh ! imagine, my brethren, how often I was cast down in spirit and found comfort in my Bible. When I opened that blessed book I found con sols tion and comfort in it, and from deice I lifted up my eyes to heaven, and said to the Lord, " Oh blessed are those nations where the Bible is; Lord grant that this book may reign in Rome ; also that this book way ap pear amongst the Romans." I look beck with comfort and delight upon the important fact that the Bible has been printed in Rome for the first time in our Italian tongue. It is the last translation that has ever been made, but the man who translated it so well was perse cuted by the Pope till his death. The book was pro scribed because it was a faithful translation, and to this hour it is called by the Roman Catholics the Protest ant translation, and under this pretext they forbid it being read; but at the moment of the emancipa tion of the Romans, when they were first receiving their liberty, they received also this book as a gift from heaven, and delighted as every man who could obtain it. I was sought after on all sides. My house from morning till night was filled with persons coming to ask for it. It was sought after because the people knew they were seeking Christ. Yes; they said to me, we wish to become Christians—Christians as of old► and fashioned as our fathers were in those days when Christianity was pure, and the Romans were spoken of throughout the whole world. We will return to those times, and no obstacle shall hinder it. By the grace of God we will obtain our libe ration, and receive this book within our walls as coming from the hand c f the Lord. These, my dear brethren, were the sentiments of my countrymen. These were the expressions of their feelings, and imagine to yourselt es how my heart leapt within me at seeing these things. I was full of joy at the good work. My friends warned me of danger, but my answer was, I did not fear. A soldier of Christ has nothing t fear. I fear not persecution; I fear not imprisonment; I do not even fear death. I will stand here face to face with my eremiee, not my own personal enemies, but the enemies of the cause which I have in hand. Well, things took their course, and as my words were net sufficient, perhaps it was well that I should be more substantial than many to the truths I was preaching. Christians must be practical men, and therefore they must not avoid opportunities of putting into practice that %%filch they prof. see with their lips. I had not so much ambition then as to suppose myself worthy of so much honour, hut I now look upon my imprisonment as the greatest honour that could have bk father me, and with this feeling on my mind I left the Eatollites of the Government. I will say nothing of the way in which I received them when they came to arrest me at my house, but you may be assured I was not cast down. I received their intimation with petfect calm ness of spirit. I was in some sort prepared for it, and so allowed myself to be taken away by them. Six mouths I passed in prison blessing the Lord—thanking him for the mercy he had shown me, and believing also that i.e would grsnt me the fevuur of liberation. My peace was not founded on man, but on God, Man, however, in the hands of God is a seemed cause, and therefore my thoughts often turned towards you, because I was quite sure that evayr thing you could do you would do for my liberation. I received no intimation of what you were doing, but I felt within me that you were at work for me. I felt so in that tipir4 of cvmmtpion by which we 40 united one to ~~~ ........-----.-------"" another in Almighty God. It is thus that we fe lla I , , l p . this ene body.
