I 1159 , awn Government. Prince Jerome of France, being now conva • lescent, there is no apprehension whatever of the Emperor's being prevented meeting the Corps Diplomatique, as usual, on New Year's Day. His Majesty is, of course, expected to make a speech to them, the tone of which, it is confi dently anticipated, will be pacific in the highest degree. But, at the same time, it is more than probable that the opportunity will be taken to give expression to that policy regarding Italy and the States of the Church, which it is under stood that his Majesty has made up his mind to adopt, and which will, no doubt, characterise the proceedings of the approaching Congress.

Count Walevislii-is said to be at his wits' end how tic answer the inquiries that are made of him officially respecting it. The Pope himself has e'vidently taken the alarm; and it is now said he will decline being represented at the approaching Congress, in consequence of this pamphlet, unless it be disowned by the French Emperor. It has created a great sensa- tion in Austria, in Belgium, 'in Piednaont, and, indeed, all over Italy Thus the subject is being well ventilated. There is no great neces sity, perhaps, for the Pope being represented and should he refuse upon au& a pretext - as that which has been put fdrth, the It'alihn'question might still without difficulty be settled : even that portion of it 'which has re~eience to the States of Chnicl at the Con&•ress and its course' steady. cative of great : s Sudden fluctuations, indi- cess or extensive failure, have not been experienced. The stream of trade has been continuous and smooth, and even if liable to the imputation- of "slow," the authorised trade returns show that its aggregate power has been large and well regulated, and without doubt when the year's balances are com- puted and struck, the anticipations .of profitable commerce by which the year was welcomed at its opening will be found to have attended its. progress, and to have culminated at its close LORD JOHN MANNER'S has just been delivering . a very sensible and truthful speech . in ESsex. And the Times, ever on the look out. in these un- eventful weeks for suggestions for its leading columns, has distorted it into a Mark for unneees.; nary criticism. That it also gave occasion for, the administration of one or two patronising admo nitions to the Church of England was, of course, an additional motive to the writer. The TinzL3 * in his moderate spirit of Conservation of the . main features of our national life, is oceasionallk generous to the ecclesiastical part of the system. Bat he is very jealous of the liberty claimed by the Church, through her natural and recognised defenders, to speak for herself. lie is not dis posed to let the one-sided and intemperate theories of sectarians pass muster without a sharp sifting and purging. But the moment he begins to fear that the Church of England runs any risk of becoming self-coMplacent, he feels a peevish pleasure in turning round to the other side, and parading before her the formidable list of her enemies and her dangers. What this means is evident. The Church of England must consult the_ novel prejudices of the age, and ask for kindness more than justice. The day for stand ing upon her rights is for ever past, and what consideration she can win, she must take as entirely of favour. Some- thing or other—though no man can tell us what it is—has divested her of all those special belongings which she once dreamed of as inalien able, and she stands a suppliant at the bar of the British nation. The Times has some regard for her in her adversity and weakness, and now an d then pats her on the back ; encouraging, after the manner of a patron, her modesty ; but fore- stalling any undue exhibition of ednfidenee Lord JOHN NIANNEES, speaking at the araiiver- we ought to be . ready •ation that ,ed wi in the midst of IN h, the the Volunteers then es rose to Ld the ladies waved f weir ha,nc 'he 2" a scene of extraord t " the.- S, Li 1441., Lord Grey s the gr atest argT thph that the movement could all ti r to defend Tina of ti S is iden ified with sentrn is adverse to t le age; and by the nature of his vedded even yet to the too thOughtles dies of h s youth, Engla I needs such defe it is time that her case should be to hands, and. herself be dealt wi modern princ e reasoning is, that Bntto defend Lord Jc Times is a sm refer to this idle word fenci which both the spe er and the writer ' strengthen the v ew which this journal has 're peatedly takeri uPor the general aspect of Church questions at the present time It must be witted that the sectarian. andacityi whose,; latest venture hi nster with as been to march to Westmi the full disclosures of its atimate desigus upon the whOle property of the English Church ; to- gether with the apathy among Churchmen, which failed to meet such a bold and infamous - avowal with a shout of execration from one end of the country to the other; have given the Times some reason to think its patronage a concession, and its advocacy, however moderate, a gratuitous favour.' " says Lord JOHN MANNERS; "House of Commons could be brought to believe " that ,the great body of Churchmen were in "earnest in defence of the Church's privileges," their advocates in the Commons would not be, so often outvoted. This is the lesson which has now to be learnt ; and the political events of the last few months have been often referred to in these columns as being its best teacher. There is but 'little time now to get the lesson up by next Session of Parliament, when our enemies will again come out in all their speciousness and all their presumption, and the Church will be again called upon to state her case. Why should not every congregation in the land assail the ears of Par liament with a manly and honest petition on the subject of Church property ? Why should not the movement, so well begun in this town, cul minate into a practical and intelligible result of this sort ? It is said, to be a Constitutional part of our system, that the petitions of the people have considerable weight with the legislature • that represents them. Who knows the electric spark that might be struck through the breasts of our assembled legislators by some five thousand repetitions of a stern and reasonable utterance of this sort ? At all events one thing is certain, that such moral support from Church men would, avail to strengthen the resistance of the Upper House to dishonest designs, until the subject_ is better understood, and approached with fairer and more moderate intentions. Our Par liamentary allies deserve this response on our parts. But, what is more, they need it. ACCIDENT IN NEW -STREET, BLRMINGHAM.—On Sunday, as a carriage belonging to Mr. Barnett, jeweller, of Sir Harry's-road, was passing down New street, the horse took fright and dashed with great force against... a stone post at the corner of Lower Temple street. The concussion damaged the carriage, broke the post, and so seriously injured the horse as to render it necessary to kill the poor animal. Mr. Barnett, who was in the carriage, fortunately escaped unhurt, as did also the coachman and groom. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION OF THE 171•TI VERSITIES.—Lord Elgin received a deputation from the Glasgow Association of Graduates on Friday, when this subject was brought under his lordship's consideration. The deputation consisted of the Rev. M. Cochrane, Dr. Bryce, Rev. A. K. M'Allum, Rev. T. Logan, Dr. Corbett, Dr. Coats, Mr. G. Black, Mr. R. Black, and Mr. J. Came ron. The views of the graduates on the justice of conceding to the Scotch Universities Parliamentary privileges the same with those already possessed by the univer sities of England and Ireland, and the certain advantages which would accrue to the universities by the adoption of such a course, were brought forward by the Rev. M. Cochrane, whose remarks were enforced by Dr. Bryce i n some statements as to the relative number of graduates in the various universities. his lordship received the deputation in the most courteous manner, and expressed his personal sympathy with this object, and his willing es to receive a memorial embodyingg the facets of the ea,se lid, - of cc to gratify the Cabinet of.
