THE DAY'S NEWS. On Saturday, a grand banquet was given to the late ministrY, at the Merchant Tailors' Hall, London. - The attendance was numerous, and everything passed off welli- Speeches were delivered by Lord Derby, Mr. Disraeli, and Lord Malmesbnry. The late pre mier, in the course of his remarks, sa id that though they 4ere defeated; they were not dispersed; and a fter paying wwell - dtv.erved . etilogy on her Majegty, Who is " ever disposed to rouxd..with confidence any minister who ifr:serving her,' he proctededito enlarge u pon the late war on, the--Conthymt,_ stated ~the T Jasons whiat'they had. lept in View When they de rtruned to maintain a strict neutrality, slOolicied "" rd Mainlesbury, and entered into some inq u i r y re -13.p ec tin,„___ff the conduct of the belligerent parties. The onclusion of TAace as at present understood byliin; eads him to believe that affairs are now more critical and moredangerous 'than anything which existed before. The 'war was commenced on insufficient . grounds.; 'turd without sufficient cause. HiS lordship then entered into some - explanations as ;to his opinleri what Would' be the result to` Italy, and lie . aiered that one inevitable result will be that all tliosq friends -of liberty, whether, of liberty ,in crews or moderation, will be doubly disappointed at, the proceedings of the allies. Mr.. Disraeli delivered an eloquent address, chiefly devoted to an analysatio. tr_of. cisere m the,HouseOf Commons, and said that the appeal made to the country by„Lord Derby Was completely warranted.—Lord Malmesbury de fended liras& from the attacks which - had been made .• on him, evidencing, as a complete vindication — of his views; that although the last Ministry had been eipelled from Office, Lord Palmerstori ,bad assured the..countri that he woad fellow the course of the.

"So puzzled are , people to, account. for a denouement so much Out. of proportion' with the design, that the strangest motives are assigned' for it. They attribute—it to some - second projected family alliance between the IMperial family of France and one of the Italian Sovereigns. The writer of a letter from Berne, of the- 14th, published in the F 'resse, men dons that he heard the Duchess of Parma, say, on thE lath, -be,fore the peace was signed, that she should be _ . m _Parma, and in possessi on ' o f h er crown, before six Weekswere oyer. If M. Cavourhii.S any-feeling left., how keen intst-be his sense of humiliation, and how bitter his remorse.

In a word, Italy, to liberate• and organize which the war wis undertaken, 'promises' to •be ' soon in a ; worse State of. confusion than ever." ' The correspondent of - the Globe says that,;vvith - the resignation. of. Count 'Cavour, all ,specubition must pause. Nothing .can be foretold concerning until. Parlianient meets oncemore at Turin, or possibly at llilan. The .Saturday _Revelv is very inthgnant at Louis Napoleon's new movements. The .end of the Italian crusade is, it ,says, perfectly suited to the beginning, and both are worthy of their author. "It was a mas4rpiece.,of consistency to. terminate a lawless war by a piratical peaCe,, and to illarm established qoYernments by the same act of treachery which cation of :vanity, ~or • e!'ccen the demonstration ) of an 'important truth could be weighed in the balance , against an imminent d ang e r to Europe, the steady opponents of Bonapartist aggression might console themSelVes by the absolute triumph of . all their :doctrines and predictions. The Liberals and pe,cemongers who applanded the attack ~of a despot • on an unoffendin,g'neighbour, are now forced to admit that in this instance at least, good has not come out of deliberate`eVfi. As some of {he advoCateS of the Italian war complain with pathetiosimplicity, it was in vain - that, in defiance -of all evidence and probabi lity, they defended the disinterested policy of France. The author of the war has been thus far successful beyond, his most • sanguine hopes, and he has left Italy less free than he found her, and not more united or independent." The Paris Univers, the organ of the Ultramontan6 *man Catholic body in France, particularly rejoices iii the arrangemerit•at •Villafranca, from the fadt eat Lombardy WaS therebY - transferred froth one monarch to another, without_ the slightest semblance of-a re . cognition of any rights on, the part of the d i vh: lgar herd of people.

We feel confident that in Liverpool, so‘justly re • nowned for its cogunercial honour and integrity, there will be no. sympathy, in any respectable quarter, at ledst, with proceedings so utterly at variance with all fair, dealing.

But people with any reason left, who haA;e gone'on`beheving professions against acts,---and-pestponing, -day-after-day, the demands-of their earlier faith, must get weßriecl of the constancy of disappointment and the increasing hopelessness of credulity As the deeds of a crisis become crys- tallised into a course of life or'n rule of gOvernme:lnf, the conscience of most people will lodge a protest against their persevering love of paradox; and'oompel them to give u ) the case in des min In November 1851, d to have asked one of :his paid representatives,___"Po _you believe_ in the coup eta ?"

There are men who, through all the melancholy:tind_desolating' , yearaof the empire,—the proscriptions, the deportations, the massacres, had "nof begun to " believe in the 'coup d'etat," did not accept its obvious and Only meaning. Even thiS year {l4 hailed the commencement, of the Italian—marehr-and-the-inflated programmes of -the Wily Emperor as a triumphant answer to those who did " believe in it ; who did not, see that the secret of the last ten yearVwas in that true understanding • (y' of " his epoch," which, among living m en ; did grid dnes belong alone to the master wind of (NAPOLEON 111 I If Louis 11 . 43 , 9 moi,T,Ioe,s.niiclerstanl. his epoch we Jo nat see ttiii ernpliiy method of iiterpre7 • ,1 n nil: • • • ' tation dift'erent koin of av ordinary tyrant, the one,. object .of whose existence has been to - cater for hiniielf and consolidate his own power.

But this is only, another of the majestic phrases which split the ears of the groundlings, and explode in barren and fruit less results. Whenever he launches into Print, the, mountain is always in labour, and .a r•idiculus emus, like that of the Italian peace, is brought forth. With all his cunning,.and that force of will to which the utter absence of conscience gives „full scope and freedom, Loupi t ,NAPoLoN is great in nothing but in phrases His tyranny over a people' strong the sentiment of liberty is the one great fact of his existence, due to his unsei=ul;nlosity and not to his , renitts• Give him a conscience, and he would imm e - I, aiatelv. itelapso-into- Citizen -CHARLES-LOUIS BONA- PARTE, perhaps without ambition enough to take the official oath t i cr, the Republic ; for he never takes oaths which he does not intend, if necessary, to break.

But that sanguinary occurrence is it'samPle 'of the means by which th new fabric of :power is tO' be alone sustained. It pro claims / the advent of that strong. government" by which ,a discontented ;people must be coerced into submission.. It points to a new era "Which *e _fear will be rife with revolutions and proscriptions, with political disasters and domestic misery. -♦-- /terupz, iterupique,—again and again the vexed questidn of Church-rates is before the Rollie of Commons. We think' it most desirable that some measure shduld be proposed, which would, once for all, settle this subject. of difference between the members of the Established Church and the Dissenters. It would be much more satisfactory to all parties that some final measure should be passed by the clegislature than ,that . these: reiterated and hitherto, abortive attempts should continue to keep up the heartburnings which exist, and afford an occasion to the opponents of the National Chureh•of making their alleged grievances a means of attack upon that venerable institution. It is riot the amount of money, whieh:is the sole objection raised by the Dissenters,—'--that in itself is really too insignificant to be made a ground of reasonable refusal to this time-honoured payment. c It ill ,upon a highey ground that exemption from church-rates is sought; upon indee ft d, the very highest, of human motives— scientious feeling. The Dissenter declares he cannot, "salsa conscieriiia,"- support a Church , ;to which he does not; belong, and' in whose doctrines he does not believe. Coerced as his conscience is by the Law, he , has a right to be relieved :from its pressure.- We find no fault with •him for this. But we must take exception to his assertion-that-the fabrics -of the Established-Church would be more c,heFfi4ly and effectively kept in re pair, by voluntary contributions; that many who differ from the national faith would, upon the aboli tion of church4ates, willingly and readily give of their substance- for the maintenance of the parish church. But we ask, with the tenderest concern for his, conscience, mould it not suffer greater violence by a voluntary support of that State Church in _whosP doctrine he_ luta inn_faith, thnn when..._he wild excnse j bintself: "in foro conscientice" under the shelter of legal , , compulsion ? _Wp itrust some` siibsiitufe may tie folind fOi bh2tlaties, which while it relieves on the one hand the grievances of the Nonconformist, on the other it . will not impair the stability of our venerable establishment. A total abolition without any commutation at all, we could not countenance and support. It is difficult to pro -pose-- measure which would give general Al:flab:alai: •To make short work of it, and cut the gordian knot, by a ,total repeal—thik is an: easy / . and speedy way to get rid of the . question, but it is neither justice nor Statesmanlike. Ent a revision of the Church-rate questioillig:.also :desirable, on account of the Estab lished Church, herself: It is an injustice .that her own members should, in many instances, have to support , not only ,their own chapelry, but also the parent Church, and so have a double rate levied Upon them. The particular measure of 'Sir J TRELAirNEY will not pass this session, and. we thinlF , it will never pass the House of Lords, where now a committee : S Sitting upon the matter, granted to the Duke .of- MARLBOROUGH, who belongs to that party who has more sympathy with the Nonconformists than any other pOrtion of Churchmen.

Minister in 1858, it is said by the clergy Birmingham, " We can affirm, after long and painful experience, that nothing can be more unsatisfactory, generall ( Spe'aking, than what is dignified by the name of the voluntary system, as a substitution for the legal ;rate'; while some of the older churches are failing into decay, it is rarely that the contributions for - the ordinary annual expenges - are to ise-lound 'Stfireient for the purpose." It is impossible, upon such testinidny ;as this, and :more 'which niajr .bo adanced, bylp l oiniiii* . th the I,GOO, or I,7op,churches requiring repairs, to accept the voluntary principle, as the , substitute for the Church-rate. With every feeling of liberality and consideration REGISTER .!• REGISTER ! REGISTER ! ONLY tWO <lays more, and the opportunity of registering avill„for another year, have again passed away. Wednesday is the 20th of July, and it is the J,st day, on -which Parliamentary Electors can send in their claims to the overseers to be placed, upon the All, therefore, who neglect to do so, will deprive themselves of the means which the Coristitu- Register tion of the country has given them of doing their duty tothe St And never, perhaps, has there been a time when it was so important as it now is, that every friend of the Constitution should be in a position to avail himself of the elective franchise On all occasions, England expects every man to do his duty." But at the preAent time, the obligation so to do is, in an especial manner, incumbent upon all who would aid in upholding those institutions of their country under which the nation has advanced to its present high and palmy pre-eminence. For we are threatened with organic changes in the Constitutiop, under the guise of Reform, which may so "rend and deracinate" the venerable fabric, as to render it incapable of much longer resisting the increasing democratic pressure against it ' There is every probability that the introduction of another Reform Bill will again 'result in an appeal to the country. A general election is almost certain to commence, We entreat, therefore, our Constitu- tianal friends to- be up and doing. Let them remem- ber that the battle' of the ConstitutiOn must be fought in the Registration Courts. And it is not enough that we take care to register ourselves, we must see that others of the great constitutional party do so likewise. We may depend upon it that every Constitutionalist's vote will be wanted. The next struggle, to all appearance, will be one of life or death,—of life or death to those patriotic principles of our glorious Constitution, the maintenance of which fundamentally, and in their integrity, amid the neces sary adaptations of them to the growing intelligence and expanding greatness of the nation that have had to be undergone, has made this kingdom the envy and admiration of the world. Only two days more, then, we repeat, remain for the discharge of this bounden duty on the part of every one who wishes to preserve inviolate the mo narehical'institutions of old England. It is no mere question of Whig or Tory now,—that d4y has gone by. The question now is, shall we, 'or shall we riot, preserve to ourselves, and be able to hand down to our children, that noble Constitution of King, Lords,. and COmmons, which has secured to the country, through so many ages, the best and most enduring system of popular legislation and representative government that the world ever saw.. That is the momentous- question which the next election will 'have to answer. And the manner in which it will answer it will entirely depend, we verily and indeed believe, upon the ensuing Registration. We reiterate, then, with the most anxious earnestness, the rallyirig cry which the patriotic PEEL himself, in his best and most popular days, taught the friends of the Consti tution to adopt, REGISTER! REGISTER! REGISTER ! WE must be prepared for the news of another grea ovation to the French Emperor. He is returning home, almost smOthered in laurels ; and so impatient would his lovely Empress seem to be, to rush into such verdant embraces, that her Majesty is by this time, if not before, at Marseilles, to meet her victo rious lord and master. The Emperor's return home is a good stroke of policy in a popular point of view ; seeing that, in the circumstances, his progress from Marseilles to the capital cannot fail to realise his highest wishes in the popular oblations it will call forth. He returns as a conqueror. He has conquered Lombardy,--not, it is true, for himself; and, on this very account, he would persuade the people, nay.the world, of his dis interestedness. But his ulterior objects are yet to be ascertained. No living man, perhaps, is so difficult to read as Louis NAPOLEON. His suddeuresolve to make peace is, to Europe at large, a perfect riddle. The King of Sardinia, it is true, professes to believe, that his "magnanimous and valiant ally," who has be ;towed upon him the kingdom of Lombardy, has done so in Order that he may establish on solid and fin= perishable bases the happiness of the people. This, however, is little more , than a flourish of trumpets. VICTOR: EXMANUEL himself knows better. But it is not politic to have it supposed that he does,—not politic anywhere, least of all at Turin, or even at Milan. But the Parisian Press is beginning to read Louis . NAPOLEON, •if nobody else can. The Constitutionel is enabled to explain the reasons which have induced the Emperor so hastily to make peace. His Majesty had discovered, it appears, that in advancing beyond ,the Mincio towards the Adriatic, he had to _reckon with revolution in Italy, and with war on the Rhine. And, in spell a case, the Parisian . Journal asks, " What was he to do ? Was he, forgetting the primitive"cause of a just and holy war, to give it greatei extension and entirely change its character? Was he to convert the war for Italian independence into a European war ? Was he to expose to these terrible risks the prosperity of France, the grandeur of civilisation, and the repose of the world ? Had glory been his only object he would not have hesi _tated ; he would perhaps have renewed those" , heroic times whose splendour in history is obtained at the lost of oceans, of blood. But the end he had in view was more generous, more useful to humanity." Of course - we may believe as mu c h o f w h a t th ese _ • questions - infer as we like. For our own part we are of opinion that the reasons here, given, although they Might in some degree influence the Emperor's •mind.were not the main cause of his sudden desire for peace, s He .had, from the first, ulterior objects in 'view; and these objects he had doubtless begun ,to find were likely to be attained,—and attained at a less sacrifice of blood and treasure—by more gradual, means than he was then pursuing, There is no'doubt that, as• the' French paper we have quoted adi this pea& Monday, July 18, 1559. _ . proceeding from the interview at Villafranca, denly restores Europe to repose, and gives French influence the most complete satisfaction that could be desired, For the present, at least ; this may serve very well. Frenchmen will, no doubt, enjoy 'the Glory which their arms have again achieved, "with the most complete satisfaction." But Glory-of that kind soon passes away Ind when it begins to, fade, , • their Emperor, to keep up their satisfaction, must find more of it elsewhere, 'it one ring we may visit of Louts NAPOLEON to Lombardywill never Tx that the forgotten by the people Whom it has horrified. Hu- manity must indeed have received a tremendous shock there. The scenes of slaughter, and desolation, and woe which the people in the" track of 'the army have witnessed have been so horrible that they can- not fail, to haunt them with sickening memories to their dying day No wonder, one Tends that . , . "the effect produced amongst them, when the intelligence of the armistice was first announced, was electrifying —that one universal feeling of joy possessed every breast—that old men came hobbling out, and repairing to the wine -shops ; quaffed in large draughts to its everlasting- eon- tinuanee--that women, putting on 'their best finory, exchanged visits of mutual congratulation and delight —and, in a word, that a holiday smile lit up all thei "We must not forget that all-this is but the AJvu .01 rit'ULEON'S " epoch,"—a thing which, he declares,nohody understands,hut himself. It would be better if they did - - for human nature and the happiness of mankind, if 1111 d0UbtedIV, others could understand it; because, in that case, he might more easily be frustrated. But so long as he is allowed to act as his own, and its sole interpreter, we feel that Europe must expect to hear of wars and rumours of wars until he ceases to be at large in the world as a crowned head and a despot. --÷- NOTES OF THE DAY, There is some new dodge " in hand it would seem, • respecting the newspaper press, for we 'Aserve that, "on the motion of Mr. E. Craufurd, a-return was ordered of the registered newspapers of the United Kingdom,. and of_ the number, if any, of stamps at one penny•issued to each for each iquarter respectively, from December, 1857, to the 30th day of June, •1859 ; also of stainpS at three halfpence issued to any such newspaper during such period ; and Similar return of registered publications and of Stamps issued to them during the s ame per i od (in continuation of parlia mentary paper No. 489 of session 1858)." What legiti mate object can be served by such returns as these, now that the issue of stanips is no indeit*hateer tc; the circu lation of the several newspapers of ihe kinidom, -we cannot imagine, It is certainly to be wished that honourable members would let the newspaper press alone in these re pects. All newspapers, we believe, are registered at Somer set-house ; and any particular newspaper proprietary may 'therefore very easily be obtained by• application there. As to stamps, they have no* nothing whatever to do with cir culation. We believe, indeed - that those papers which have the'hest Circulations never use the stamp at all. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is to make his financial statement, in all probability,- this- evening. We are indebted for this information to our honourable. member ; Mr. Hors fall, who, with, an earnest desire, we doubt not, to benefit the commercial community, put a question the other even= ing to Mr. Gladstone, whose answer was; t141,44.f the naval and military estimates should be' cOUlitded in would not delay his statement beyond this eveni ng ; , The Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire junction Rail *ay Bill was obstructed in its course towards 'a third reacting in the House of Lords, the other evening, by LordStanleyof Alderley, who moved- the introchictiiii"of an amendment providing that the level crossing in Cannon-street, Birken .head, should not be stopped tip, as propesecl i: hy the bill, without the consent of the Mersey Dock-Board or' the Board of Trade. The bill was defended as it'stoo4 34.L.0rd Tor- : ring on and others ; but ihe effect of the ,interruption was the handing over the matter to the Board of Trade ; and, in consequence, its farther consideration was adjourned. It would seem that in some instances her Majesty's sub jects may sell human beings as slaves, without a violati on o f British law. Th e ' case o f ." Santos versus Illidge and others," which has been before the pUblic lately, is' consi dered in some quarters to authorise such an outrage upon our common humanity. That is to say,",there are British Joint...stock Companies who insist that they are authorised to sell_ slaves, wherever:they indy happen to possess them,, acting under the authority of,the 6th' and 7th Vic., 'cap: 98, Lord John Russell was asked, the other evenuvi, if so iniquitous a provision of our laws ought not to be repealed; but the noble lord declared there was no intention to do anything of the kind .me, he • , So enamoured would the present Government appear to ,be of the working of the Divorce Act, that we are told they are quite determined to extend its " benefits." Indeed, a Bill has already been presented to the House of Lords, by the new Lord Chancellor, enacting that all the Judges of the three Superior Courts of Common Law shalt be Judges of the Divorce Court, in addition to those already appointed. The fact is that the facilities for dissolving marriages are now, so extensively appropriated, that it is becoming quite a fashionable habit for a man who is tired of his wife, or a woman of her husband, to try and effect a riddance of the obnoxious' tie. " Whom God hath joined together," says the Marriage Service, "let not man put assunder ;" but our modern legislation, it would seem, has an authority• even beyond that of the Higher. Law. Mr. COBDEN AND . HIS CONSTITUENTS.---A meeting of Mr. Cobden's election committee was held at Rochdale on Friday night, for the purpose of determining the time when Mr. Cobden should be invited to address his constituents. It was resolved that a soiree should be held on or about the 27th instant, accvoling to the convenience of the hon. gen tleman, and that Mr. Cobden should then address the con stituency of Rochdale. EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL OPERATION.-0 /1 Saturday week, atilucknall Torkard, a large stony substance, of -an alniost oval shape, l inch in length, 51 inches in circum ference, and about 22 oymees in weight, was- extracted from ' the bladder of a tame r, obit - It is still preserved - as a singular natural curiosity.— -"Nor r i No HAM REPIEW." tiOLLISION ON THE ME R •expr.—On Saturday morning, between 'the hours of eight 'awl nine o'clock, a collision took place between the fishing s 'muck Catherine, of Dublin, laden with heiyings, and the tu --boat No. 3, John Po o l e , master, who was not unfortunately on board at the time. While nearing the Great Landin7-stage the tug-b o at struck the smack, she (th e smac k) i ns ,'sntaneouSly sinking. The crew, consisting of five men, we re st .'ved but one man was in imminent danger, having been immersed four, or five times. The pl ace of 'the accident is scan 'elY seventy or. eighty yards from the Great Landing -stage, and between five and six o'clock yesterday morning the con.'Pandr's tag lump was sent to extricate her. A diver, arnh. la , as we might say, "cap-a -pie," threw himself into the river between six and seven o'clock, and, after a submersion of twtyntY or thirty minutes, succeeded in attaching chains to the w."eek, when he returned to breathe fresh air, the man at the a.'r" pipes giving him every facility. He descended several times' after, and succeeded in attaching chains firmly to the wreck, but at six p.m. yesterday. she was in the same posi tion, and is expect e d t o b e got up when the tide answers. LARMING FlRE.—Yesterday afternoon a fire of an alarm ing character broke out in Messrs. Twigge and Crossfield's rice mill, Parliament-street, corner of Bedford-street. Reels from the South Dock Station, Seel -street Station, andi ,the Central Fire-office, Hatton -garden, were promptly mi the spot ; and, by the active exertions of the brigade, the . fire was soon subdued, and, consequently, the damage dope was not very great. Had the - fire broken out at night the result might have been. more serious, as a very large quantity of rice! was on the premises. The loss is fully covered by in surance in several offices.
