FRIDAY, JUL I 29, 1859. THE DAY'S NEWS on the state of foreign affairs, in t& Uon . mons last night. It will be found fully recorded i our, parliamentary summary. He introduced hi remarks by saying that he was glad that day', Moniteur had announced a reduction in the land ark sea forces of France, and hoped that it was a peaceful augury of the future. The reasons for the peace, signed between the two Emperors, were, according to the noble lord, as follows :—Louis Napoleon was afraid that the war would extend into Germany. louse 0: and eventually all over Europe. Francis Josep'l thought that he could make better terms of mac( Napoleon than if he had waited for the neutral powers to interfere, whom he thought would offer less favourable terms. As to the latter, Lord John assured the House that so far as England was concerned no intention - of such a nature was entertained. So far as the peace of Villafranca was concerned the English Government had nothing to do, nor would they take part in any proceedings in connexion therewith ; but the future of Italy was to be discussed at a congress, and Great Britain had been asked to send a representative ; that a represen tative from this county should attend such a con ference was necessary, as Lord Clarendon had, in 1856, called the attention of the Paris Conference to the then Condition of Italy. The noble lord read a despatch from the French Governme the scope and intentions of the Conf . ( at Zurich. .He then proceeded to state what her Majesty's Government intended to do. They could not join the congress, unless Austria took part in it ; nor could they take any part in it until the treaty to be drawn up, agreed to, and ratified at Zurich, should be laid before them. He entered at some length into other phases of the question. Respecting a general confederation of the Italian States, he agreed that no union or community of views could be expected. He asked, could they agree on the great question of freedom of worship? As to the ret ,urn of Gr Dukes, he said that the two Emperors would not lend the assistance of any of their troops for such an affair ; and the _people of Tuscany were to choose their own form of, government, which Her Majesty's Government could not object to. The third difficulty in the settlement of affairs, was the temporal supre macy of the Pope, which he did not think would be acceptable to the people of Italy. He further stated that a confidential agent of France had been sent to Vienna, to agree as to the terms of the treaty, and added that he believed the Emperor Napoleon was anxious that Italy should have the benefit of self-government. In conclusion, the noble lord said that it would be premature for . Parliament to chalk out the course it would pursue until the proper time came for action. Mr. Disraeli at some length pointed out the absurdity of many of the noble lord's state ments, and called upon him to be more full and ex plicit in his explanations. Ile severely commented upon the proceedings of Lords Palmerston and Rus sell on the Italian question generally. The news from the Coiitinent 'this morning is important—at least so far as regards France—and what concerns France at present may be said to involve the interests of Europe.- The Paris Moniteur of yesterday states that the Emperor has decided that the army and navy of France shall be restored to a peace footing without the least possible delay. But even this does not prove that peace is at once to be determined upon. Indeed, every day seems to bring the proof with it of the shortness of the present peace. The Turin correspondent of the Morning Post states that the Austrians openly say that a short time will see them once more masters of Lombardy. Their press openly speculates on such a contingency, and reckons up their friends there on whom they may depend. But all this depends on an Austrian army in the plains of Lombardy, and consequently these speculations spring from the expectation of another war—an expectation justified by the fact of the Austrians holding the two gates of the new Pi e d montese pro vince. In f a Ct, giving Lombardy to Victor Emmanuel, and allowing the Austrians to hold Peschiera and Mantua, is like selling a house and reserving the Aght of entering it whenever you please. He is really in a worse position than before. The Ticino was nearer home, and was more easily defended, and the country was put to a much less expense than it will be now. The principal organs of public opinion in Europe seem to prognosticate war, but do not seem to be clear as to whence it will originate. Some believe the Italian question will again give birth to another appeal to arms between the late antagonists, which is not very likely; others think that France and Austria will unite to fall on Prussia, whose inter ference has pleased neither party, and that England will be forced into taking part with the latter as being of the same school of politics, and of liberal institutions, as opposed to two of the great apostles of absolutism in Europe. With respect to the disarmament of France, We may state that advices from Paris inform us that, as soon as the troops have returned to France and re sumed their previous masters, a great number of temporary furloughs will be made definitive for all those men who have twelve or eighteen months to serve. The administration of the marine also is said to have revised the necessary instructions, for prepar ing the definitive discharge of all sailors who already having served six years, have been called to join the fleet within the last six months. The Nord denies that any of the French troops are to occupy the Duchies. Those who are at Rome will remain for th e present where they are. N ow h ere The Government aciisto of m L s o linem Lombardy between t _ w else will there be a n y m i litary intervent i on i n It a l y . hase e n issuedL o m Lombardy a a r ddye decree establishing Venetia. Th e Ti mes quotes a letter from Milan, e which states that the extrem e party i s beginning to bl • • Possi e Veneti a will rise in insurrection. The Vienna correspondent of the Ti was generally believed that a deputatioan:ve Times says, it with Price Napoleon at its head, would shortly tz e take the remains of the Duke of lteichstadt to France. A sort of manifesto has been issued by the l'ied montese Government in the shape of a circular to the governors of the provinces. Reforms are promised, and the governors are called upon for their support in the " tranquilization of discouraged minds, in strength eneing the belief in the right to liberty, and in pre paring the annexed provinces for liberal institutions." The abdication of . the Grand Duke of Tuscany in favour of his son is officially confirmed; but, as we , have said before, the Tuscans have refused his ser vices to rule over them. What will be the end of this controversy we know not. We have intelligence from Rome, via France, to the effect that M. de Meneval, aide-de-camp of the Fmnich Emperor, had arrived there a bearer of a firm letter from his Imperial master to OW Goad , "fit' FOR SALE The handy Brig NORTH STAR; lewth 101 feet, breadth 23 feet 5-10ths, depth 13 feet r" — „,4 . 77\ 5- ths, 247 tons register, built at Nova Scotia in 1854, '''' ' *f" , a\Nei and is now classed A. 1, is sheathed with zinc, which ' • • is i t ialair order, and will be found, upon inspection, a Very desirable v'essel for the coasting, or any other trade her size may suit; lying in Brunswick-dock.

They began to look upon him as a safe Minister ; a man disposed to progress, but not un mindful of first principles. A very ominous rebuff was administered to this mis Iced Confidence during the continuance in power of the lat,e Ministry, bN somewhat ambiguous expression of w mately to concede the question of the ballot his own convictions against 3 Radical party should become sufficiently loud and importunate , another rebuff is now administered by . his vote for the' abolition of Church-rates- —a revenue which, he has over and over again proved, belonged of right to the Church of England, to alienate which, without compensation, would be nothing short of spoliation and robbery. If, during his life, it should be the lot of the British Cons ,ution to fall under the disastrous and destructive manipulation of Radical ingenuity, we make no doubt whatever that Lord JOIIN RUSSELL will be found eating his own words in graceful con cession to BRIGHT and his revolutionists. We shall, however, make our most strenuous protest against one peculiarity of the present The clamour of a violent minority has succeeded in making Churchmen afraid of defending with openness and confidence the material and pecuniary interests of our Ecclesiastical Establishment. The conscientious scruples of the doubtful Dissente situation. we are at all times ready to considerate and consult. But the loud-mouthed sneers of the violent sectarian, the pretentious phrases about ecclesiastical avarice, about a Church whose weakness requires the protection of the law, and the apathy of whose people renders necessary the compensation of legal payments, we treat, so far as Christianity permits us, with indignation and scorn. When men trade on imaginary religious scruples for the purpose of gratifying their interests or their passions, we cannot expect them to stick at any of the arts of sophistry or misreprese ation. We know there are many among the religious opponents of Church-rates who give up their privilege of thinking to others, and are more guilty of weakness than of design. We know there are many high minded' bissenters who as strongly reprobate the abolition of this ancient revenue as a townsman would the unconditional confiscation of the Liverpool Town Dues. We know there are many without a direct interest in this matter, who are yet sufficiently guided by principles of honour, to be unable to tolerate in public conduct, what would be called simple dishonesty in private life Churchman, then, be frightened into a hesitating tone, or a half-hearted defence, when the pecuniary interests of our Ecclesiastical Establishment are called into questiOn. Let us not be betrayed into that fatal impolicy which has been so often the harbinger of destruction to old institutions. We mean the listless concession of prescriptiVe rights to stop the mouth of clamour, just because we do not attach much importance to • their maintenance. Whenever a ease of justice can be clearly established, let us stand upon our rights, at least until a reasonable claim for our consideration has been made out; and that, too, with something of dooency and humility. Halals strength Let no stance t. __de same as Ito maintain and to withhold, it is safe to encourage very act of bribing them; for, notwithstanding they re imbassador in 1857 , P ceived_the money to vote for the Liberal candidate, in the expectation that we m specified tension of our synart iy where we show the 5t or Mini asion for feal take • a'wa'y that indeed, 'who acknowledged before the Committee French a s, whose Churchm ceived a bribe to vote for Mr LEATHAM, as too 0: .31c1 ou I.nd voted for his opponent.

The circunt- stances are very similar in each case It was fourid that public opinion, even in such town constituencies as those in question, where the spurious Liberalism of the day is generally so rampant, was decidedly against the Liberal cause ; and it was concluded, therefore, apparently in every case, that their only chalice of success was by means of bribery and. corruption, .to which they did not scruple to have recourse, wherever they found that so iniquitous a mode of procedure, with individu voters, wa necessary to serve their ends And this fact is mos instance , such voters a _ - they thus found it necessary to corrupt were of tha very - class of society, to the 1, to me( d Libera arch-rates lowest grades of whi Advanced Liberals" would extend th, .e elective franchise Now, we are far from meaning to cast any unfavourable _reflection upon the respectable working classes in this respect. It is the case, among all classes of society, that there are some unworthy , persons ; and we would not, by any means, insinuate that even bribery and corruption are confined cx- elusively to the poorer classes. But the temptation is much more irresistible among those classes. Very often it oceurN 'gat, as it was with SHAKSPERE'S poor apothecary, their poverty, and not their will, consents. And, certainly, the most infamous part of such proceedings as those we refer to, where Liberals persons professing extraordinary purity, and liberality, and propriety should take advantage of the unfortunate condition of those to whom the elective franchise has been entrusted, and -debauch them, as it has been proved-they did in the cases alluded to. As the learned counsel before the Huddersfield Committee is reported to have observed, " One GODFREY NOBLE would tell " them that he was introduced to Mr. LEATHAM, that "he afterwards saw him at Huddersfield, and that "he told him to go to the Committee at the White " Horse, and go to work there. He afterwards went " about to the Committee-rooms, at which no business "was done, and flashed <£.so Bank of Elegance notes " before the eyes of the electors, saying that there was " plenty more money where that came from. The " Advanced Liberals were willing to pay well for votes " with the complicity of Mr. ',HAMAR. Among others "Nom& went to a man named EDWIN BOVEY, and " gave him £5 in real looney to vote, and another "man named JOHN FISHER was bribed by one of Mr. " LEATHAM'S Committee men. Two cases of abduction " would be distinctly proved. Others would doubt " less come t o li ght. Indeed, more than all he had "stated would be proved; but if he only- proved half, "he was convinced that the Co mmittee must decide "that th e sea t was vacant, on the gr oun d o f b r ib er y "and corrup ti on. " And, in fact, more th an a ll this has been proved, and distinctly brought home to the immaculate "Advanced Lib era l s ," and --"Advanced " with a vengeance, it would seem, in the practice of bribery a n d corruption, whatever else they may yet have to b e " adT= aea in. There is another point of tion, such as thi s view in which eerruP" , is to be view- e d. It not only t vitiates the mind of the e l ector, as one who is abouto disch arge w h at ought to tal . ,) considered a solemn public trust, but it seems V:, debase his whole charac ter. For instance, in, 'she Wakefield case, not only did they take the k : ibes which the Liberals so shame fully tempted ilem with, b u t a ft e r all they did OA fulfil theirengagement s . The Liberals succarjd e d, it ryld it ali sense of honour, by eat i in destroTing are fa 1 no busi demo: disgra Advanced Liberal, '4e questio: 3 decidedly of opinio: only cliff rence would be. The practice at elections tinder the Ballot, in th, United States, very forcibly illustrates this. C ruption is infinitely more prevalent there than even in this country, under the operation of the Ballot. They have a system of ticket voting, which enables them' to carry up whole -companies of bribed voters to the poll and it can always be pretty -hand how, through such correctly; calculated befor means, the election wil terminate. We say personal observation in that :he Ballot would be no remedy fox The' only reliable remedy this from our own country bribery and corruptior lies in an improved quality of the constituencies We are Of those who wish for an extension of the elective franchise,-7: for a considerable enlargement of our several constituencies. We think that, at pre sent, there is many a Worthy, well-conducted working man, who is unfairly excluded from the electoral privilege.. But surely such corrupt proceedings as we have been referring to, do most forcibly show cratic directions in which any YfPnsion' of the franchise wouli that there are demo, mitigated of only to society at large, but even to those being enfranchised, would only be placed in a position to be corrupted NOTES OF THE DAY. The Morning star.thinks it is much to. be desired, that he Chaneellor of the Exehequer would at once boldly an- nounce his intention of proposing the Income-tax as a per manent source of revenue, since " we should then have an ;horough disvussion: of the principles of taxation, and a chUnce of having the inequalities wortunity fc of our actual system redressed." No doubi this were most desirable, if there really be an intention of retain ing that obnoxious impost permanently. But is it so ? Why, Mr. Gladstone himself has denounced it as a most iniqui tous mode of taxation as at present levied; and it is one of the right honourable gentleman's inconsistencies, that he has adopted its continuance after having committed himself, - as he did, so strongly against it. No Income-tax can ever be a just permanent source of. revenue : a real Property.. tax, fairly and equitably imposed, would be quite another thing. But for incomes—often very precarious incomes— to , be assessed as they now are, is a crying injustice. The Corporation of the. City of Loudon must certainly be a highly favoured body. Not only 'is it saved from the operation of any such reform as all the other Municipal Corporations of the country have had to submit to, but even now, when, there is, again an apparent inten tion of overhauling its exclusive privileges, there is an outcry against it; and several of the companies are pleading their rights in resistance of the proposed inter ference with them, on the ground that they were-incorporated by Royal Letters Patent, and are " the most ancient Livery Companies of the city of London." Again—there is a bill now in Parliament for the regulation of the fees of Queen's Remembrancer, a clause in which seems to interfere with the rights of the citizens with; respect to the , approval of her Majesty' of the , election of Sheriff of London ; and the Court of Aldermen have, therefore, determined to submit the bill to the• Committee of Privileges. It is not im probable that—as has : been the case before—the metropolitan Corporation will succeed in resisting this fresh attempt "to ; interfere with the rights of the citizens." We have frequently had occasion to notice, in these columns,. the very praiseworthy efforts of the National Life boat Institution, in providing such a means of rescue, in cases of shipwreck, on various• parts of the coast. We believe, the institution has been. the means of doing a very large amount of practical good, in this res p ec t, d ur i ng the last few pars. Another instance of the many we have, from time to time recorded, of the valuable exertions which the institution is in the habit of making, to carry out mere and more fully its humane objects, is the preparation of a new life-boat, which is about to be stationed at Whitburn, on, the coast of Durham. This boat has sonic new points especially as respe c t s it s of great importance abo u t it, more great stability-power against capsizing. It has been thoroughly tried already, and its self-righting power is found to be perfectly effective. We are glad to observe, also, that the exoellent practice of individuals presenting life boats to the institution has now been begun. Let us hope that the examples already set will find many liberal followers. With respect to the Cobden soiree, at Rochdale, "the cry is still they come,"—as to the applications, we mean, for ticketa, of admission. They now amount, it seems, to up wa':ds of 1,400, and this excess of numbers beyond what was Calculated upon appears to be putting the committe to some difficulty, as respects the accommodation. The secretary, however, we learn, has gone to London on the subject, to consult with Mr. Cobden's influential friends ; and it is ex pected that, on him return to itoehdtto, the ntw arrange- JULY 29, 1859. - • ments rendered necessary, and probably the day of meeting , also, will be officially announced. The new parish church at Wallasey, the consecration of which is reported in our columns—to-day, comes. betbrethe public under peculiar, and, we cannot but think, very grati fying circumstances. It is what, we humbly conceive, every parish ;church ought, of right, to be,—a - free church,:--free to. to the parishioners themselves, of course, first, if any prefeeence whatever is to be shown, because it is, in fact, more particularly their own ; but to all others who can be accommodated within its sacred walla. • And, let us, hope that; tinder the ministrations of its devoted incumbent, it will belmind that many will be drawn thither to worship God; and to hear the gospel, even from beyond the immediate precincts of the parish itself.
