The fresh intelligence from Australia, which we give to-day, has reference principally to the state of business in that colony, which upon the whole was satisfactory at the latest dates. The latest accounts respecting the Italian ques tion will be found under the proper head ; but they are still indefinite, and rest very much, as before, upon mere report. A rumour is circulated in Paris and Brussels, to the effect that' En - gland will be represented bY the Prince Consort, and Austria by the Archduke Maximilian, in the Congress which is proposed to be held at Brussels. Another Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of Lord Palmerston. The religious disturbances at St. George's-in the-East haVe begun to assume a most serious aspect. On Sunday evening, the district was made a scene of‘Tiot and outrage,' such as is dis-, creditable to, any civilized community, and, such as could not meet with approbation from any one having the slightest regard for religion or reli- gious .observances. From the Cape of Good Hope we learn that the colony has been suffering to a great extent from a drought more severe than any which had ever been recorded there. The stock lost by the _ farmers, in consequence, is represented as enor mous. • • - The annual meeting of the Society; for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was held last night, in the Lecture-hall of the Colle giate, Institution. The meeting was well attended, and, as will be found in our report of the pro ceedings, the whole was of a highly interesting character, and went off well. It is now all hut officially stated that the Great Xastern will be ready, after the necessary repairs have been effected, to proceed on her trial trip on the Bth of October, as advertised. The repairs are going on under the direction of . Mr. Scott Russell ; and Mr. Atkinson has made a most favourable official report as to the condition and capabilities of the ship. The business of the Registration ReVising Court for the Borough of Liverpool commenced yesterday, in St. George's Hall, before ; Thomas Shaw . Brandreth, Esq., the revising barrister. The business was not of general interest, although a good deal of work was done, the whole of :the cases on the " Freeman's Roll " having been dis posed of. , To-day the proceedings, with respect to, the claimants, and the objections raised against voters in the different wards, will form the busi ness of the court, the cases in . connection with Everton and Kirkdale occupying the first atten tion of the court: The proceedings of yesterday will be found recorded in another coluran. THE various surmises, which from day to dit n y appear, as to the certain and ultimate disposal of Central Italy, "prove hew &Weal and intricate the adjustment of the question. Sometimes it is rumoured that the second son of KING LEOPOLD is to occupy the Duchies ; sometimes that these revolutionary States, which have expelled their legitimate, rulers, are - to be conso7 lidated and governed under an independent assembly, and on constitutional principles are not inclined to receive either of these ru- very likely to be fulfilled largesses scattered among the population of the Duchies, previous to the publication of Louis NAPOLEON'S pretentious programme for render ing Italy free and independent from the "Alps to the Adriatic to incite them to rebellion, had no such results in view as those we refer to. The Franco-Sardinian gold, so lavishly and freely dis seminated, was for another object, and one which there seems some probability of being eventually realised,—namely, the construction of an Etrurian Kingdom for PRINCE NAPOLEON, who, it is well known, is most ambitious of dynastic honours, more suited, apparently, to his temperament than even the "pride_, pomp, and circumstance of glo riois war." If this should be the issue of the French Emperor's interference, then will a part of the grand scheme he has laid down for himself be achieved. It is said that this compromise, so palatable to him, has even been proposed by Austria, who abandons the restoration of the Grand Dukes to their respective kingdoms, ac cording to the hastily drawn up preliminaries of peace at Villafranca. And the arrangement would appear to wound less the amour propre of the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA than would the annex ation of those principalities to Piedmont. The same feeling which reconciled FRANCIS JOSEPH to the' cession of Lombardy to France, rather than to Sardinia, extends itself to the establish ment of a Napoleonic dynasty, so long as there is no _ apparent compliance with VICTOR EMMANUEL'S wishes. It is strongly suspected that PRINCE METTERNICH received this inspiration on his visit to LOUIS - NAPOLEON at Biarritz ; and having delivered himself of it at Vienna, he_ re turned with the acceptance of it, by the Austrian Court, as an adjustment of the present coin- plications in the Peninsula. It is ari arrange ment, however, which, although it may suit the two Emperors, is not very well adapted to the wishes of the Tuscans., Modenese, and - Parmese; any more than it is consistent with the rights of the - - respective sovereigns, who must feel themselves deserted by the House of Haps= burg, and evicted by French gold and intrigue. They must consider that they have been sacrificed, in order that NAPOLEON. 111. might early .out some gigantic scheme he silently cherishes. It is well known that the latter considers it his predestined fate to imitate the Career of his uncle; and perhaps to avenge his reverses. His preSent conduct towards the Italins is very similar to that of the First NAPOLEON, who formed an alliance in 1796 with the then reiguing KING OF SARDINIA, against his former allies, the Austrians, the KING, hoping thereby to save his crown, but whom, when BONAPARTE took the Republican side, he left to his fate. The Italian patriots hoped then, as now, that they might _maintain their independence by constituting a separate Re public ; but they were incorporated with France, and became the department of MONT BLANC. The history of all this has lately been published in the " Memories de M. Miot de Melito," who had been a sort of secretary to JOSEPH BONAPARTE, and whose memoirs, along with those of EUGENE BEAtirIARNAIS, .throw• much. interesting light on the First NAPOLEON'S connexion with Italy, at the same time that they expose his constant 'want of faith, his perfidy, tyranny, and cruelty. A 'is surprising that the EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH sanctioned their publiCation ; unless, indeed, he was blinded 'by the dazzling cati: logue of the Napoleonic successes they an- All these things, then, considered, it behoves us to watch closely the political movements of Louis NAPOLEON on the Con- flounce. tifient. The country must not allow the present Government to relax their efforts in placing in proper order its armaments and defences. The MARQUIS OF NORMANBY, who is thoroughly ac quainted with the character of Louis NAPOLEON, does not place implicit confidence on his political in tegrity ; and it must be observed, that the noble lord was our Ambassador in Paris during seven eventful years, including the period when the EMPEROR presided over the Republic description of the character of BONAPARTE by his brother JOSEPH, we take to be equally true of his nephew, the present EMPEROR. " You do not," he says, " know ,him ; he "is a wonderful man. The depth, the extent, " the audacity of his projects astonish me more "every day. Believe me, he has not yet attained It is not " the limits he proposes to reach "difficult to see what he proposes. The founda " tion of a dynasty, an empire of Europe, divided "perhaps with Russia, on the ruin of England " and of Austria—such is the ultimate object of " all his enterprises." We believe that a secret written treaty now exists between the EMPEROR or THE FRENCH and the AUTOCRAT OF RUSSIA, which is intended to carry out the agreements of the peace of Tilsit. One of the best safeguards, then, for this country, is the maintenance of a friendly feeling between the Teutonic and Anglo- Saxon races, between whom there is much simi larity of disposition • and feeling, and whose alliance may prove an effective counterpoise to any such ominous confederacy. A MONTH or two ago it was the fashion in cer tain high newspaper quarters to represent that the revulsions of the last few years had issued, or were fast issuing, in the assimilation of the old and rigid forms of antagonism into one peace ful and harmonious type ; that, in fact, there remained only one party in the State. This was, doubtless, a pleasant enough sort of fancy. To the mere speculative moralist, who, had looked from his study with sympathising compassion upon the bickerings of a . senate, and had long deplored the low intrigues and perverted zeal of faction, there was a charm even in the idea of the dying out of rivalries, and the reconciling power of great national interests. Even we might have been deceived. We ourselves were in two minds whether to begin—and that not profanely—our Ecce quant bonum et jucundum It seemed churlish to reject the peaceful invita- tion. For a moment we wished that we could give credence to the imagination of the_inventor. Such dreams come not often. Why not for one parliamentary recess give ourselves up to the flattering illusion ? The fact is, circumstances were against us. An unlucky time was chosen for propagating this ward to the usual possible Or expected issues ofparty conflicts ; but it is all a mistake or a fancy servatism is the ghost of vanished hopes revisiting the glimpse& of • former scenes, haunting' the de serted spots it once illuminated in the burly and portentous shape of Corn-laws and Agricultural Statistics; but now without body and substance ; " elemental," " etherial," transitory; grotesque and amusing in its supra-mundane and shadowy"- antics. It is playing out the reminiscences of its former being,—dancing, as it were, round the outline of- its 'lingering shadow, and passing off, with fantastic gyrations, into a vapour. Yes, the conclusion of the matter is, that Conservatism is= not a policy : it an element!" Oh, golden age of politics ! Oh triumph and omnipotence of human opinion ! At last thou hast prevailed over all the diversities of intellect, all the uncertainties of truth, all the prejudices . of an hour, all the traditions of an age. Hence forth, let not the moral or political speculator be called philosopher —mere lover and seeker cf wisdom—for wisdom is found ; and set on high that all men may see her divine lineaments ard: worship. Such is the certainty arrived at on all human questions, such is the mental unanimity' which pervades the - whole circle of human enquiry, .that there is : only one .voice; and one watchword ; and three hundred representatives of political and social idiosyncracies, though they pant above -everything to be singular, are un able to mar the harmony with a single discord !!'- Greatest wonder of all, the casket where thiS discovered and newly consolidated wisdom - is en shrined, is that section of the State presided over by the constitutional levity of a PALmERsToI4 and the factious jealousy, the self-seeking tact of a LORD JOHN RUSSELL ! This, we say, is the greatest wonder of all, that hoary intriguers , who have just patched up a paltry rivalry—if for any ascertainable purpose—only that they may together betray the Constitution to a revolU tionary faction; that these two f‘ haPpy-r -luckys" should have alighted upon the assimi lating policy which is to spread balm , over the' wounds of the State, and announce great unity in the science of politics—this is; at all events. an accident as surprising as it is sudden What next? Perhaps Liberals will learn not- to bribe. If Conservatives have no policy, per haps a newspaper of credit and aspiring t o be the leader of British thought, will not con descend to impute to them the most desperate and corrupt arts, to sustain a position which is simply useless or an incumbrance If Con ser- vatives have no policy they are not worth a falsehood, and will soon be beneath the privilege of a name. Three hundred intelligences, hoW- ever meagre or unpretending, cannot be kept together without a creed or a profession ; and must crumble into dust through sheer inanition- Perhaps, therefore, this high authority wilt scarcely in future think it worth his while to run the ri of so deplorable a as in that notable episode of this year's political history, when the calumnies he poured-upon his enemies falsely, were outdone by the detected misdeeds of his friends,—the depositaries of the sole and all-conquering orthodoxy of the future• We shall expect a good deal from these noir lights : magnanimity in their advocacies,- -a wholeness and breadth and finish in their elabo rations of doctrine and policy'.
