We had news through two channels from America yesterday—that is to say, by the North American, which ' arrived .in this port, and a vidimus of whose news appears in another column ; by telegraph we had also intimation that the City of Baltimore arrived at Queens town yesterday, where she landed a number of passengers, and proceeded on to Liverpool. The Conferences at Zurich do not seem to con duce to any ,actual arrangement' of differences between the conferring parties. A rooted impression to -this effect is gathered from the proposed interview which it is said has been arranged between the Emperors of France and Austria. The object of this interview is broadly stated to be'a full consideration of the difficulties which have unexpectedly arisen in course of the nekociations. ' The great annual meeting of the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society takes place this year in Liverpool, and an amount of local interest commensurate with the value of this important institution has been evinced by the good old town." This is as it ought to be, clearly indicating, as it does, that in intelligent circles, of whatever calling, the interests of com merce and agriculture, if not absolutely identical, are believed to be reciprocal. As the period for absolute trial approaches, the interest felt throughout the country, in reference to the success of the Great Eastern, becomes more and more intense. She was expected, indeed definitely announced, to leave her moorings on Monday ; and in expectation of this great event actually takin place, numerous parties assembled in the vicinity of where- she now lies, for the pur pose of witnessing her departure.

This is strikingly presented to our notice by the wool sales which, have just concluded in London, not alone as denoting the rapid development of the capabilities of our Colonial possessions, but also, inter alia, that the premiums offered by France and Holland, on direct imports from our Colonies, have proved abortive. At these sales ninety thousand bales of each kind of wool have been disposed of, at an advance upon previous sales of from one penny to one penny half penny per lb. The . history of this trade exhibits. a more rapid growth than that of any other, except cotton. While we have an extraordinary increase of pro duction in wool in our distant possessions, we find a corresponding decrease in the old wool-pro ducing countries of Europe.

Doubtless the construction of railways in India will stimulate' the production of this article, .and bring down an immense amount of wool of an inferior quality, for which use will be found for home consumption, at, however, a miserably low figure. There appears, therefore, to be no ground for the apprehension that the supply will not be equal to our demand for the raw material. The carrying -trade Which this great increase has caused, we have generously thrown, open to the whole world, without any corresponding equivalent. Would that we could see all nations with a liberality like that of our own shipowners, grant a reciprocity in the same spirit of free- trade. Would that foreign nations would do so at once. Bis dat qui cab dat ! But if not, 'we must endeavour to take care of our own' interests, so that generations of our countrymen yet unborn may still be able to say— " Britannia needs no bulwarks, - No towers along the steep : Her march is o'er the mountain waves, Her home is on the deep." THE next great figure that is to occupy a pre eminent place on the Italian scene, is the POPE. The relations between this great spiritual Poten tate and the French EMPEROR are of the most delicate and complicated nature. The two-fold character of the office he sustains, as successor to the alleged Ecclesiastical supremacy of St. PETER , and also inheritor of his " Patrimony," and the undefined connection between the two, impart an air of uncertainty and vagueness to the position he holds 'as regards any other merely temporal Power in Europe. The problem of the effective and impartial wielding of the two swords by one hand, has never yet been solved by the wit of man, and has certainly been hitherto quite beyond the lofty pretonsiops and divinely guided. wisdom of the Bishop of Rome No one would venture to question that this union of what seems such incongruous ideas, and whose incon gruity the events of the passing year demon strate with as much force as any part of previous history, have in their time wrought much benefit in Europe. It was not, indeed, the temporal power of the head of Western Christendom, that directly exerted in the middle ages an influence so potent to restrain the license of Kings, and to promote the liberty of nations. But it was the POPE'S temporal position that secured scope for the operation of spiritual authority, and gained for it a freedom of action, impracticable if its agent had occupied the position of a subject in any European, State. Yet the changes of the last century or two have gone on developing and consolidating themselves, .until they have culmi nated to a point at which the POPE'S temporal power, having lost its occupation and found no other office to discharge, is a violent excep tion among nations—among them but not of them—in that very character which assimilates itself to them, still claiming a vague and wholly peculiar kind of superiority ; not disdaining the common analogies which rule throughout the families of nations, yet fully responsive to the traditions of that spiritual rule, which seems na turally to cherish the right of departing frOm them when higher interests seem to demand it. Now if there be any system of things more than another insensible to the progress of time and the change of circumstances, it is an Ecclesiastical Government. It is therefore quite agreeable to antecedent expectations, to find the Papal Government still striving to discharge old-world functions amid new-world relations and hypo theses and exigencies. To find it struggling for the last shred of a temporal power, which by some process of internal decay has ceded its func tions, and upon which the finger of Providence seems to have set a ban. But it is not in the nature of things that a power originally and naturally of so active and aggressive a character should occupy a wholly negative position. If it has lost its potency for good, it must be potent for evil. If it has ceased to aid and strengthen the judicious and heathful and honest use of spiritual influence, it must misdirect it, and pervert it, and in every way misuse and misrepresent it. Now the attempt to prop up a system advanced to such a stage of decadence as this, must, as we see at the present moment, complicate European politics, be productive of endless difficulties and uncertainties, and confound the relations which ought to exist - between itself as a kingdom, and its fellows in the European system. Who can define the secret character and extent of the re- lations at present existing between the POPE and Louis NAPOLEON ? Who would ventxre to do so, if he wished to retain any moral respect for either ? It seems to be a system of dark and un- definable sets-off. To the mere spectator it par- takes somewhat of the character of a confederacy in questionable practices, where the confederates find it necessary to devise guarantees for each other's good faith, and preserve some sort of accord by a system of mutual and not over creditable coin Rome has managed to assume, is not a direct but I a wholly factitious importance, bmrowed from the ecclesiastical position of its Sovereign.

The mutual acquisition of influence is unquestionable No one will dare to deny, that the latter are very loyal, and the former very religious. Or, at least, if the Bishops are satisfied with Louis NAPOLEON'S piety, and LOUIS NAPOLEON with their loyalty, no one has a right to doubt or to interfere. Both have doubt equally good reasons for their confidence. It is of course the same system of mutual service? which, when we go nearer the fountain head, caused LOUIS NAPOLEON to prop up the temporal power with French bayonets, and the POPE in return io bestow on .Louis NAPOLEON the title of "hi s beloved son in' —One, Whom we have a sort of repugnance to associate with so very questionable , or rather unquestionable an individual, as the " min of December."
