The Sovereign Princes of Europe are wander ing about from Court to Court exchangin g civi lities with each other most industriouily. A n d the Sovereign Peoples of Europe—are they not, for the most part, all the while at a dead stand still I Not a whisper now about Poland being Restored ! About Hungary being E man cipated I About the revival or reorganisation of German Unity ! Or about the vindication of Italian In dependence ! Italy, in fact, is still deemed, as METTERNICH deemed it, "a ; mere geographical expression." Poland is still considered t)be a I kingdom that has not merely been destroyed and buried, but as one that has actually mouldered I away into nothingness. Hungary is still to the last the despair of KOSSUTH and of all such poli tical day-dreamers, and one of the many baubles loosely set in the Hapsburg diadem. Germany— well, even Germany, is it not still, to all intents and purposes, the most heterogeneous conglomera tion of big and little independencies t Looking like Forty States rolled into one ! Having a national song ever on the lips of its motley population, with a doleful burden like the refrain of UHLAND, asking, by iteration upon iteration, without the smallest apparent chance of ever eliciting a satis factory reply—" Which is the German's Father land ? A lethargy hanging over continental Eu rope the while—a lethargy not by any means restricted in its influence to the countries border- ing upon the Rhine—to the fair land of Pesth and Peterwaradin —to the dead realm whose noblest heroes were SOBIESECI and KOSCIUSKO— and, last but not least in the mournful catalogue, to the once powerful and still beautiful Roman Peninsula. It droops appreciably elsewhere far and wide over Europe. It stagnates in Sweden and Norway. It paralyses the action of the Danish Government. It palsies every nerve and sinew of the constitutional monarchies of Spain and Portugal. And while the peoples of Europe are thus deplorably and obviously at a standstill, the Sovereign Princes, we say, we see, we hear, we read, everywhere, are wandering about indus• triously from Court to Court, in the midst of all sorts of old-world ceremonials. It is a magnificent farce, all this, from first to last. It possesses a fantastic resemblance, we can• not but think somehow, to the whirl of pomp and frippery at Paris immediately anterior to the outburst of the first great Revolution. For we cannot believe for an instant that this all but universal lethargy can be of any very long dura tion. It really appears but the merest mockery, now that continental Europe is under the leaden weight of it, to find the Grand Events of the hour chronicled somewhat to this effect :—That his Imperial Highness the Archduke CONSTANTINE is slowly making the best of his way from Fontain bleau to Osborne—He having been until very recently the deadliest foe of France and England! That her Majesty the Empress Dowager of RUSSIA. is the recipient of the most uproarious welcome at Turin--Her dead spouse having, comparatively speaking, but a very few months back by his outrageous violation of treaties caused the sword of the Sardinian King, weak and powerless though he was by contrast, to leap from its scabbard in scorn and indignation ! That the King of BAVARIA has gone to Paris ! That Prince NAPOLEON has returned thither from Potsdam and from Dresden ! That the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER are coming to England ! That this High Mightiness, that High Mightiness, and the other, are going just in fact anywhere but precisely where we should vastly like to send some of them—namely, either to Coventry or to Jericho ! And these are the Grand Events of 185'7—the Grand European Events of a Public Character ! Looking even at home in a strictly political sense, the year now fast flitting away seems to be awfully barren of incidents of a satisfactory de scription. It was thought by many that the Leader of Her MAJESTY'S Opposition was going a " little" too far in his address to the Electors of Buckinghamshire, when he described the object of Lord PALMERSTON in dissolving the last Par tiament, and appealing to the country to create a new one, to be literally this "To waste A year 1" Yet is it not so, obviously, not - riously, undeniably in the strictest sense of he words ? Is not the year being wasted systematically, deliberately, and with malice pre pense ? Have we not the clearest possible prospect before us of its being wasted politically down to rhe thirty-first day of December inclusively ? Everything in the way of Reform is postponed till "next session." "Man never is but always to be blest." This general rule holds good even in the present particularity of its application. " The Good Time Coming" turns out, after all, to be a very long while coming—and it proves but sorry coin- Fort, in sooth, for the delay, when we are told by way of encouragement to wait yet—" a little !onger." Next Session !—lt is our political To norrow ! And if we wait for it always in his way we shall very much indeed resemble chat old Classic Lubber, " familiar to every schoolboy" that, we believe, is the correct phrase " familiar to every schoolboy"—the miser tble rusticus who sits down by the river side, in chat hackneyed couplet of dog's-eared latinity, carrying on his journey until the stream shall have passed by I Candidly let us say—while these royal and imperial visitors are going their rounds, md while our present parliamentary session is being Idly frittered away to no purpose, and with scarcely a murmur hoard at the melancholy fact that it is so—We all seem to have grown wonder fully phlegmatic I In our impression of yesterday we gave in ex tense the bill recently introduced by the Attorney- General " for the punishment of frauds committed by trustees, bankers, and other persons entrusted with property," on which we offered some obser vations in our leading columns on Friday last. It is simplex munditiis, going directly to the point without that circumlocution or tautology too fre quently contained in similar enactments. It seems to have achieved the happy medium by which it will be difficult, if not impossible, for parties guilty of wilful and deliberate fraud to escap e the penal consequence of their offences, while, at the same time, parties who have not intended to do wrong, and have only been guilty of an error l of judgment, will be protected by the saving 12th clause, which provides that no proceeding or prosecution for any offence included in the Ist section shall be commenced without the previous sanction of some judge of one of the superior courts of common law or equity, or of her MAJESTY'S Attorney-General, or (should that office be vacant) of the Solicitor-General ; and also, if civil proceedings should have been taken, of the Court or Judge before whom such proceedings had been instituted. It is likewise, by the 13th section, very properly provided, that the receiver, with a know ledge of the fraud, shall be liable to the same punishment as the principal, and that whether the latter shall or shall not have been previously convicted, or shall or shall not be amenable to justice. This is as it should be, and, as we have already said, entitles Sir R. BETHELL to the thanks and gratitude of the coin- m unity. The first section relates to the cases of trustees, properly so called, those who have been placed in a fiduciary character towards others. It includes not only those holding property, for the benefit of others, under any deed of settlement, but also their heirs and personal representatives ; and also all executors and administrators, and all assignees in, bankruptcy and insolvency, bailers of goods, and every person holding, or having the disposi tion of any property for the benefit of another— while the word "property" has an equally ex , ensive signification, inasmuch as shall include every de scription of real and personal property, money, rHE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY- EVENING, MAY 28, 1857 debts, and legacies, and all deeds and instruments dust - raising over an abused text from MOSES, they cony' not have blinded Chris tians so long. The New Testament knows nothing of these " prohibitions to marry," except to class those who create them with the predicted "scoffers of the latter days." All reason, and common sense, and regard for one's bereaved children, nay, frequently the wish of the de ceased wife, commend a marriage, when practica ble and suitable, with the aunt of the bereaved children ; no consanguinity interferes ; but Ju daism is appealed to by our Legislators while Jews are denied a place among them !

SlB,—Has the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a fair comparison between the Civil Lists of his Majesty George 111. and that of our Most Gracious Queen ?

With this very extensive interpretation, the first clause would alone be sufficient to meet almost every possible ca3e ; but in order to make assurance doubly sure, there are a series of provi sions applying to bankers, merchants, brokers, attorneys, and agents (s. 2); persons entrusted with powers of attorney for the sale or transfer Difference... £62,436 To make a fair comparison the various salaries paid by George 111. should be added to 385,0001.

Thieves of the ordinary class may be regarded as Ishmaelite9, whose hands are against every man, as every man's hand is against them. They are waging constant war against society, and are subjected to very stringent enactments, but heretofore the genteel swindlers—the AUGUS TUS TOMLINSONS7-.baVO too frequently evaded the consequences of their crimes, and that simply because they have added the deepest treachery, worming themselves into the confidence of their victims, and taking unfair advantage for their own vile purposes of the position they have thus unfairly obtained. In addition to section 5, which deals with a fraudulent taking or application of the money or other property of any body corporate or public company, there are three other very important clauses (6th, 7th, and Bth) which create new offences, and subject the parties—directors, public officers, managers, members—to the penalties pro vided by the bill. These include (sec. 6) receiving or possessing any of the money or other property of such company, otherwise than in payment of a just debt or demand, and shall wilfully omit to make, or cause, or direct to be made, a full and true entry thereof in the books and accounrs, or who (s. 7) shall destroy, alter, mutilate, or falsify any of the books, papers, writings, or securities, or make, or be privy to making, any false or frudulent entry, or any fraudulent omission in any book of account, or other document, with intent to defraud shareholders, creditors, or other persons interested in the property or effects, or who (s. 8) shall wilfully make, circu late, or publish, or concur in wilfully making, circulating, or publishing any written statement or account which he shalt know to be false in any material particular, with intent to deceive or defraud any member, shareholder, or creditor, or to induce any person to become a shareholder or partner, or to entrust or advance money or property, or to become security, or to advance any money, may be liable to the penal ties provided by the 9th section, that is to say, may be kept in penal servitude for not more than seven years, or to fine or imprisonment within the discretion of the Court. Nor shall any pers3n by reason of anything contained in this Act, be enabled to refuse (s. 10), to make a full and complete discovery or answer, but the same shall not be admitted in evidence against him. Nor shall it prevent any remedy at law or in equity that he might have independent of the Criminal proceeding. Expenses of prose cution may also be allowed, but cases under the Act shall not be tried at general or quarter Sessions. lawswe keep Sabbath, and E as t er t oo , we be lteve, by Jewish laws. HEAVEN grant that we may not at last be born and circumcised by Jewish laws ! We beg our friends of the lawn sleeves—the modern substitute of the Ephod— to notice, too, that their titles, and, indeed, their whole Church establishment are confessedly Jewish things. What part of the " faith of a Christian" is it to pay tithes ?—that it was an essential of the faith of a Jew we know ; a very marked injunction of the law of MosEs ; but we remember not a word about tithe-paying in the New Testament, except from the lips of a certain well-known Pharisee ; he was certainly a first-rate tithe-payer. The ex emplary are, however, now chiefly to be found amongst those who " take tithes," and take also Church-rates, Easter offerings, or anything else they can get, "of all that others possess." In this, too, they are hard again on poor MOSES ; he, so far as we know, only enjoined the paying of tithes, not the taking of them. If Jews would not pay them, we do not remember that the incumbents of Jerusalem, or of any other place, had any means of making them pay. We read of no proceedings for recovery of tithes, or of church rates, in the Mosaic ecclesiastical courts. And then our venerable establishment—why is it so venerable ? Not, surely, because HENRY VIII. brought it into being some three hundred years ago ; and, certainly, we venerate nothing which it inherited from Popery. No, it is Judaism again that we are thrown back upon. Our GREAT MASTER and his Apostles—unworldly, living on free-will offerings, rejecting secu lar rank and authority, confining themselves to " ministering the word and prayer," never saying one syllable about a Christian hierarchy, but saying a great many things which every hierarchy would like to expunge from the records they have left us—make the New Testament a sad docu ment for the Lords Spiritual and the various grades beneath them. But turn to Judaism, as the old advocates of establishments always did, and as modern apologists are often compelled to do, and a High Priest and Levites, and all the hierarchy, according to MosEs, will quite , set up an Archbishop and a bench of Bishops ; while again, Kings at the head of the Church, fre quently paying it well, sometimes like SOLOMON and HEROD, putting Priests and High Priests into office, or (but tile less said about that the better) turning them out of office, are the natural prece dent for our modern Defenders of the Faith, and for their issuing their conge d' elire. Enough, however. We wish only to remind Churchmen of their indebtedness to Judaism, and to suggest that the modern Jews are the natural heirs of those to whom the debt was due. Can terbury, Oxford, and Exeter would get on slowly enough without Judaism. Let Baron ROTHSCHILD be the recipient of their gratitude. We have thus pointed out the leading provi sions of the Act, which we hope, and believe, will have the intended effect. We cannot, of course, yet say what questions may be raised respecting its operation, but it will certainly require no ordinary ingenuity to draw a coach-and-six through its provisions, or to practise frauds similar to those that have created such painful excitement as in the cases of the Tipperary and Royal. British Banks. If political gratitude be " gratitude for future favours," the Jews can ask little of our Legisla ture on that score. We cannot gain much from them in legislation now, for the simple reason that e have got almost all they could give us. We are indebted to them for so large a proportion of our laws, that what more we should borrow from Moses, if we did avowedly give him a seat in our House of Commons, it is hard to say. In all our legislation which touches at all upon religion or scripture, our motto seems to be " Moses, not Christ." Divorce has been the almost solitary exception, but—even in that—the rich always contrived, as "Moses commanded, to get a Bill of Divorce (passed), and to send her away." We seem likely, however, now to come nearer the law - of Moses on that point, and so much the better. Why, the very ground of the Jews' present ex clusion from Parliament, though Christian in form, is rather Jewish in fact. Oaths belong much less to Christianity than to Judaism. There have never been wanting honest and intelligent Christians, as well as over-scrupulous ones, who have inter preted literally Our Lord's prohibition, " Swear not at all." If we do not persmally object to au oath, we can not fairly ridicule the man who thinks it better to take his Master's words in their more obvious meaning, than to make things easy to himself by adopting what he thinks a " non natural sense." Indeed, we do not see what fairer sense can be put upon the prohibtion than that a Christian's word ought to be sufficient without his oath—a principle which ought not to seem strange in England, where for so long the usages of society required a gentleman to defend his veracity by stak ing his life upon it. We look upon this, indeed, very much as a perverted result of the doctrine that a Christian's word should be equivalent to his oath. Before the existence of Christianity it would be impossible to find veracity rated so highly as an essential of a gentleman. In any case, swearing is commanded in the Old Testament, but forbidden in the New, and we have kept out Jews by requir ing an oath whiCh they cannot take—an oath " on - the faith of a Christ-ian," when CHRIST says, " Swear not at all." Let the fact go for what it is wo.rth ; it is at least a singular one. Then, as to that scandalous business, "forbid ding - to marry" the sister of a deceased wife, it is defend ed by purely Jewish reasons. The rotten non ,sen,se of Church authority would go for nothing, if it could not appeal to MOSES. True, the ablest Hebrew ,scholars, the best commentators, and Jews themselwes at present, all deny that the law of Mom, in the p a ssage referred to, did prohibit the -marriages in question ; and we are confident that our ever-in-the -way Bishops merely hoax us with the name of MOSES, on behalf of their own truut; pert' rubrics. Still, but for their solemn LATEST E WS. THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA AND PERSIA. :BY SUBMARINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.) TRIESTE, THURSDAY.

FRANCE, PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, .The project of law on the Bank of France, which the Commission of the Legislative Corps had resolved to reject unless the amendments it pro posed were accepted, is now certain to pass, the Commission having considerably modified its op position. Had it not done so the °bombe would have thrown its own Commission. ov,r board. This does not mean, however, that the Deputies approved the projt et ; it means that at this moment the Chamber will vote any thing the Government thinks proper to propose. It is on the eve of dissolution, and the Deputies have no notion of exposing themselves to th chances of not being accepted as Government can didates by any show of independence. The eager ness with which certain lii. B ll functionaries are thrusting the project down the throat of the Com mission justifies the suspicion that some personal interest is at stake. M. Parieu, Vice-President of the Council of State, is no longer spoken of as the future Governor of the Bank. M.

The court left the palace of Ofen yesterday morning for Jaszbereny, the chief town of Jazygia. Count de Nadasd, the new Minister of Justice, lately went to Pesth to take the oaths to his Majtsty. The count belongs to one of the oldestfamilies of the Hungarian nobility; he is at the same time first chamberlain of the king dom and hereditary Count Palatine of Comore. The entrance of a Hungarian magnate into the im perial Cabinet is an act which will render the Emperor more popular than even the amnesty and the remission of the taxes ; and the nomi nation was received in Hungary with unanimous satisfaction. The accident to Marshal Radetzky caused a great sensation. On receiving the news, the Emperor sent one of hisakles-de-camp to Monza to express his regret and to make inquiries about the health of the veteran. Telegraphic despatches are regularly sent to the court, informing the Em peror of his state. The journals give very affecting recitals of the scenes which were produced by the liberation of the political prisoners. In several towns the. inhabitants spontaneously illuminated. The Mint continnes to be busily occupied in strik ing off the new coins of the monetary union, and for this purpose it employs the immense reserves of silver in blocks and bars which were lying in the cellars of the national bank." The Universal G erman Gazette says The text of the petition prepared by the Hungarian nobility for presentation to the Emperor of Austria is now known. The petitioners request that the use of the Hungarian language shall be officially established in the schools and public administrations ; only Hungarians be admitted to exercise public functions ; the Woiw . odine and the Banat be reunited to Hungary ; the constitutional regime be again brought into operation ; a national COURT CIRCULAR.

LOSS OF THE EARL OF YARBOROUGH'S YACHT ZOE. The fine schooner yacht Zoe, belonging to the Earl of Yarborough, was lost on Hasborough sands, between Cromer and Yarmouth, in the course of Sunday night. She had his lordship, with two or three friends on board, and had :eft Grimsby on the previous day fora cruise along the coast. She had a favourable wind up to 10 o'clock. and aft-r mak ing the Cromer lighr, the wind suddenly dropped to a complete calm. The tide ran so exceedingly strong that the vessel could not make headway against it, and unfortunately drifted with it. Every passible precau.ion was taken for the protection of the yacht—the lead was frequently hove, and the last soundings were reported to be sixteen fathoms. In less than five minutes afterwards she struck on the sands, and all efforts failed in getting her off. For full two hours blue lig.its and rockets were continually thrown up, and although several ships passed, and the sands are within a few miles of the coast, no notice was taken of the signals. At length, as the water gained upon her, his lordship determined to leave her. The large boat was got out and lowered, but was stove, and three men in her were thrown into the sea. Happily, however, they were rescued. His lordship, with his friends, ca.piain and crew, in all 20, took to the two other boats, and succeeded in reaching the beach at Has borough about 4 o'clock. Lord Yarborough sent off men in a large yawl to the yacht, and the master was despatched by land to armou'h, to obtain the aid of a steam-tug. Should the weather continue mo derate, there is some hope that sire may he got off. She is about 170 tons, and very beautifully fitted up. The crew were unable to save anything. With reference to the Coast Guard not sending off aid in the direction the rocket signals were fired, his lord ship has written to a contemporary, complaining of a practice of steam-vessels sending up a rocket when they pass vessels which they suppose belong to Vie same owners—both ships discharging signals. His lordship adds :—" On landing from the wreck of ' my yacht, I observed to the Coast Guard officer I first saw, We fired rockets, but no notice appeared i to be taken from the shore.' His reply was, Rockets are never noticed, as the steam-vessels ' so oftn fire them in the manner I have above ; described.'" The prospectus has been issued of the Hartlepool Col liery Company, with a capital of 65,0001. in Si shares.

In order that the two days' debate should still subsist, he would propose to postpone the closing of the discussion to the next day (Wednesday).

Manuel de la Concha explained at great length his participation in the insurrection of Vicalvara/ and his views on the best system of policy to be followed ; he concluded by exhorting the Ge" vernment not to make any abusive use of its power' and to pass laws not for a party but fur the Ile" tiou. The Count de Lucena, (O'Donnell) Vl b° afterwards spoke, maintained that he had a right to oppoe the Government, as he did not a pprove of its principles ; he then declared that he did n ot hink he deserved reproach for sitting amongst the Progressists, as they had aided him in preveuting the revolution from going farther than he wistie d f Adding that he should always be ready to exte nd his hand to them cordially ;'and he defended hims elf for having exercised a dictatorship, by saying under the circumstances it was necessary t ° prevent a dissolution of society, and that be s des he had exercised it by authority of The , svereign and on his own responsibility. e , debate was then adjourned, and a letter says t ha ' t was resumed on the 23d, when Marshal Serra° said that he accepted his share of responsihiliti in the late events, as what he had done had heel dictated by patriotism, and he complained that the discussion proved that lamentable divisions p re• vailecl among parties in Spain.
