NEWS OF THE DAY.

In an order of the day the King of Italy has dedared
that the Garibilidiali army has deserved well of the
country, and announces the measures which have been
taken for its reorganisation. His Majesty also gives a
donation of 4000 towards the Promotieri of the educa-

It appears to be the general impression in Paris that
the English and French Governments are perfectly
agreed as to the common recognition of the kingdom of
Italy, whenever Francis 11. shall thihk piciPer to niOVe
off from the corner he Yet holds id the kingdom he has
thrown Only; Some little uncertainty prevails as to the
part now played by the French fleet in those waters ;
brit the natural wish to defer unnecessary bloodshed, so
long as a hope remains Of ultiniatelY avoiding it; is
generally attributed to Napoleon
It is announced that Garibaldi has formally accepted
the rank which has been conferred upon him of General
in the army of Italy, and also, but conditionally, the
command of the forces of southern Italy ; one of the
conditions is said to be that he shall be permitted to
employ the authority and power thus entrusted to him
in adopting the necessary measures on the approach of
spring, for the deliverance of the whole of Italy: It is
likewise stated that the General is 4ilite ready, in the
event of the Cabinet 'et Turin feeling itself hindered
from tatting so deaisiVe a step by diplomatic con-
siderAions, hiniself to undertake to bring the matter
before the Parliament of Italy, and to exert himself
to the tamest in securing for the proposition a
favourable reception in that assembly. Mean-
While, and in order to afford opportunity for regu-
lating the position of the new general of the army, the
King has granted Garibaldi a three months' leave of
absence (that is the footing on which the retirement of
Garibaldi for this period has been agreed to be put), to
commence froth the the 15th November last, and to ter-
minate on the 15th of February next, when the General
will take possession of his command, and undertake the
personal organisaticn of the various divisions of which
his corps d'artne'e is to be composed.
Francis IL continues resolute in his intention to
defend Gaeta to the last extremity. The fortress is said
to be provisioned for a small but sufficient garrison for
six months. Its works are of the greatest strength,
and defended by most formidable artillery. But his
generals are dropping off ode after Midthdi, and the
insubordination and confusion which prevail among
the offlcers, must speedily force him to take.his depar-
ture for a foreign land.

The Observer, in alluding to the visit of the Empress
of the French to Scotland, offers the following explana-
tion on the subject, which we willingly reproduce :
The Empress Eugenie has been suffering froni illness
and low spirits? greatly aggraiated by the shock
caused by the intelligence of the death of her Only
sister, the Duchess D'Alba, in the midst of the
fatigue of the journey to Algiers. Even if her health
had permitted, she could not receive company
during the approaching annual festivities at Compiegne.
She, therefore, resolved to pay a long promised visit
to one of her closest friends, the Duchess of Hamilton,
whose mother was a Beauharnais, and who is the cousin
of the Emperor Napoleon the Third. it was naturally
thotp,ht that oharige of air and scerle might be service=
able, and she is also about to consult Dr. Simpson, of
Edinburgh, whose practice amongst ladies of high rank
is very extensive. Had her arrival been announced,
she would necessarily have been received with all the
formalities of state, which she came to avoid. Her
incognito has been strictly preserved.
The invitation of the American Minister on a visit to
the Queen at Windsor, so soon after the arrival of the
Prince of *ales, iii company with the heads of the
Government, is a prompt and graceful acknowledgment
of the hospitality of the President, and the cordial
attention and the enthusiastic reception of the heir to
the British throne exhibited by all ranks and classes of
the people of the United States,
The Queen has placed her own first-class steam yacht,
the Victoria and Albert, at the disposal of the Empress

murder of Mrs. Emsley, that the penalty of the law
will be put in force at the time originally appointed,
this (Monday) morning. The various memorials with
which the unhappy man has been occupying his time
hare failed to suggest any reason why there should be a
commutation or remission of the capital punishment.

BISHOP AND THE PROTESTANT
PEOPLE.

IT is impossible to take even a cursory survey of
the history of religious bodies in this country for
the last few years) without perceiving that) while
amongst many of the clergy there has unfor-
tunately set in a current of reactionary feeling
against Evangelical Protestantism, there has
happily been manifested a corresponding amount
of determination on the part of the people to resist
every backward step to Rome. The struggle
has not been confined to any particular section of
the religious community. Among the younger
ministers of the larger Dissenting bodies there
has been a growing tendency to adopt what may,
even in their case, be called " High Church" views.
This has been observable in various ways accord-
ing to their respective peculiarities among those
who acknowledge the Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Puritan, and Wesleyan forms of church polity.
Even in the Church of Rome itself there have
ever been found two great sections severally
recognisable under the distinction of the High
and the Low Church party. The truth is that
these terms represent something more than a
dispute about particular forms and ceremonies.
The Low Church Romanist sees no objection to
an order of service which is as much "higher" than
the " highest" Anglican service, as the latter is
