SATURDAY,

the Roman Catholic gentry are extremely dis-
pleased at it, and we could wish that more
quiet cpurses lyere followed by the Roman
Catholic clergy. Lord CARLISLE'S ostentatious
patronage c f conventual institutions may pro.
cure him many " cheers ;" but we fear that
the example of his subscriptions will be
turned to an account which, we are sure, his
Excellency never anticipated. At Limerick,
a few days since, Lord CARLISLE patronised a
convent. His subscription was hailed with
glee as an additional triumph in a part of the
country where, owing to the presence of an
active and wealthy clique of seceders from
Protestantism, the Roman Catholics have
assumed a spirit of propagandism. Lord
DUNRAVEN, Mr. MORSEL!, the DE VERE HUNTS,
and their relations, are located in Limerick ;
and we think, under the peculiar circum-
stances of the case, that the patronage of con-
ventual institutions in such a locality was an
indiscreet act of a Viceroy at Dublin.
It is the glory of the State under which we
live that the citizens enjoy more personal
liberty of thought and action than the members
of any community on earth. But we enjoy
these liberties because we are a Protestant
empire; and Lord CARLISLE ought to recollect
that it was provided by the Relief Bill of 1829
that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the
Lord Chancellor should always be members
of the Established Church. It is an unfortu-
nate circumstance that, Lord CARLISLE, when
Lord Morpeth, should have connnitted him-
self by seine highly elaborated attacks on the
Establishment in Ireland. We cannot forget
his Lordship's conjecture that the time might
come when the friends of the Church could only
point to " its lifeless corse and untenanted
armour." The language was seized with
avidity- by all haters of endowments ; and we
fear that some acts of his Excellency are not
calculated to remove most painful feelings
from the Protestants in Ireland. His Ex-
cellency should remember that ho has impe-
rial duties to discharge, and that an unre-
strained pursuit of mere popularity is likely
to be attended with retributive reaction.

Lord CARLISLE should not forget that many
even of the " Liberal Protestants " in Ireland
conscientiously object to countenance con-
vents, although they are ready to give land and
pecuniary aid to the parochial chapels of their
Roman Catholic neighbours and tenantry.

RECEPTION OF THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR BY THE

EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

General Count Kisseleff was received on
Wednesday at the Tuileries by the Emperor
Napoleon at a public audience. The re-
ception took place with great splendour in the
presence of the Ministers and chief officers
of State. General Kisseleff delivered his cre-
dentials as Russian Ambassador, and spoke as
follows :

Sire,—The Emperor, my august master, in
appointing me his Ambassador to your Imperial Ma-
jesty, charged me to devote all my care to cultivate
the relations of friendship which unite the two em-
pires. In the name of my august Sovereign I
have the honour of presenting to your Imperial Ma-
jesty the credentials with which I am furnished ;
and I venture to hope that boa will receive with
kindness the homage of my profound respect.
I shall esteem myself fortunate if, at the end of
my career, I can contribute to cement between
France and Russia that union which assures the
general peace by one of the most durable of
guarantees.
The Emperor replied :

Monsieur le Comte,—Since peace was signed it
has been my constant endeavour, without weakening
my old alliances, to mitigate, by generous conduct
(de bona proadia), whatever might seem harsh in
the strict execution of certain conditions. I have
learnt with pleasure that my ambassador at St.
Petersburg, animated by these sentiments, has
known how to win the esteem of the Emperor
Alexander. The same reception awaits you here—
do not doubt it ; since, independently of your per-
sonal merit, you represent a Sovereign who so nobly
knr.ws how to impose silence on the sad memories
that war too often leaves, in order that he may only
think of the advantages of a sincere peace by means
of friendly relations.

After the reception the Ambassador was
conveyed back to his hotel with the same
ceremony that marked his arrival at the
Palace of the Tuileries.

M. Antonini, the Neapolitan Ambassador, leaves
Paris shortly for Brussels.
The Marquis of Villamarina, the Sardinian Am-
bassador, has left Paris for Turin.
An extraordinary Cabinet Council was held at St.
Cloud on Monday, at which the Emperor presided
in person.
M. Persigny left Paris on Sunday afternoon for
London.

The Imperial Court, it is believed, will postpone
its visit to Fontainbleau.

The Bank returns for the month ending Thursday
are more tavozable thsn could have been anticipated.
The Presse has published the railway table for the
last six months, which shows a depreciation in that
property to the amount of 654,640,000 f., as compared
with the returns of the previous six months.
London, England, 1856-11-15

THE PRESS.

He concludes :

I must say that if the affairs of Greece are to be dis-
cussed in a council of the protective powers, it must be
known that the occupation of Greece is considered by the
whole nation an insult to its independence; that its King
is beloved; that the present Government, under existing
circumstances, is the best that could be expected ; and
that if the protective powers are willing to do something
for the real prosperity of Greece, the best would he to ex-
tend its confines to some proper limits, that she may pro-
tect herself from the robbers who enter the kingdom from
the adjacent Turkish territory. By so doing you would
not only save Turkey from further revolutionary move-
ments and acquire the gratitude of the Christian popula-
tion, but you would save Greece the enormous expense n:
keeping an army of 8,000 soldiers to protect her extended
frontiers from the depredations of robbers.

FOREIGN MISCELLANEA.

LETTERS FROM MADEIRA state that there are
symptoms of improvement in the vines, and it is
hoped that they may continue, so that the supplies
of wine may be kept up. The failure of the vine
crops has had the effect of turning the native indus-
try of Madeira into other profitable channels. The
sugarcane has been planted largely during the last
few years, and the results have been highly
satisfactory.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN GERMANY is shown in
a speech lately delivered by the Cardinal Archbishop
of Cologne, Baron Von Geissel, who laid it down as
an axiom not admitting any doubt that " nothing but
a Catholic could compose a mass or build a house of
God," as in both cases it was necessary to be fully
convinced of the great truths of Catholicism and the
doctrines held by the " only true Church." It
happens, however, that many of the most beautiful
masses daily performed in Catholic cathedrals and
churches are the works of Protestant composers ;
and it may be further remarked that the completion
of the cathedral of Cologne is intrusted to a l'ro-
testant architect, in the person of the Aulic coun-
cillor, Herr Zwirner. The Ultramontane party is
already agitating for the dismissal of this gentleman.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg in the Nord, dated
the Ist of November, contains the following items
of intelligence :

The Emperor is still residing at Gatchina. He visited
St. Petersburg to review a body of troops. General
Milioutine has been appointed Cnief of the Staff of the
army in the Caucasus. Rear• Admiral Boutakoff, head of
the Admireltyotflce at Nicolait.ff, has been invested with
all the powers enjoyed by the Commander in Chief of the
Black Sea fleet. This nomination was made, it is said, in
consequence of the presence of the English squadron.

The first exportation of Russian tobacco from the
interior was made a few days since.
Letters from St. Petersburg state that M. de
Monty, the French Ambassador, is entirely occupied
there in preparing the bases of a treaty of ccmmerce
between France and Russia, by which French
commerce will obtain important advanttges for the
entry of its productions into the Russian territory.

litax.—Mr.Edwin James, Q.C., addressed the elec-
tors of Hull on 3lon lay last. The learned gentleman
said that he came there as an independent Liberal. He
had no wish to oppose Mr. Clay, if he could sit; but
grave doubts existed as to his eligibility to be elected
in the present Parliament, in consequence of his
having been unseated on the petition presented
against his return. Mr. James then briefly stated
his political opinions. He was for an extended fran-
chise, for a comprehensive system of education with-
out sectarianism, for the abolition of Church rates,
and for vote by ballot :

The extension of the franchise would be comparatively
useless without the vote by ballot it may be said that
vote by ballot is un-Et.glish, and so is intimidation. The
elector, in recording his vote, must be protected from inti-
midst ion ; and, without vote by ballot, the extension of the
franchise would be; ounity and a farce.

SATURDAY,

The question of our foreign relations must come
before Parliament next session. He approved of the
Freudi alliance—with us it was cordial and sincere ;
but with respect to the late note of the Moniteur, if
the alternative be presented to this country of a rup-
ture of the alliance or the subjection of the press,
that man would be a traitor to his country who did
not prefer the former. Mr. James then passed a
high eulogium on Lord Palmerston, augured that
political and social progress would not be retarded
under his Government, and concluded with a brief
summary (1 the reforms—steady, sound, social, and
political—wllich must be carried out

The franchise must be extended—the masses must be
educated. All distinctions which interfere with civil rights
on the ground of religious opinions must be removed and
swept away The government of our vast empire in the
East must be ameliorated. Our colonial dependencies
must be administered in a more liberal and enlightened
spirit—the vast increase in crime and the reformation of
the criminal must be dealt with in a comprehensive and
statesmanlike manner—the restrictions on commercial
enterprise must be done away with—the revenues of the
English and Irish Church must be fairly adjusted to the
spiritual wants of the people. Measures such as these are
not, l believe, dangerous innovations, but are calculated
to strengthen the security ►f property—to unite more
closely the ties which bind the two great orders of society
together—to attach the peopl,i to a love of order, to Par-
liament and the Crown, and to render yet b►ighter and
more glorious the future and the destinies of this great
empire.

ITALY.

Naples remains perfectly tranquil.
The correspondent of the Oesterreichisehe Zeitung
writes that the King now appears inclined to make
some slight concessions. The expected amnesty is
likely to be delayed for a few days, as some altera
tions are to be made in the royal decree "in favour
of the prisoners."
Other advices received by the Augsburg Gazette
from Rome state that it is positively known there
that the Neapolitan Minister of Justice is drawing up
a new list of the persons who are to be amnestied.
The Pope is employing all his personal influence on
King Ferdinand 11., and hopes to be able to persuade
him to put an end to his misunderstanding with the
Western powers '° by a judicious compliance with their
wishes."

A letter from Modena of the 9th, in the Opinione
of Turin, states that several persons suspected of
having subscribed to the hundred guns of Alessandria
have been arrested at Carrara.

The Austrian Government has promulgated the
ordinance restoring the Representative Assemblies,
known as Central Congregations, in the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom.
Several political arrests have taken place in
Brescia.

AUSTRIA.

The visit of the Emperor and Empress to Italy is
fixed to take place next week.
Count Leo Thun, the Minister for Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Public Instruction, a day or two since
tendered his resignation to the Emperor. His
Mrkjesty declared that he was well satisfied with the
services of the Minister, and desired him to retain
his portfolio.
A letter from Bucharest of the 25th states that the
Austrian Government,has just confirmed Lieut.-Gen.
de Marziani in the command of the Imperial troops
for the time they may have to remain in the Princi-
palities. The points where the Austrians have
garrisons are, in Wallachia:—Bucharest, Tergovist,
Giurgevo, Kraiova, and Kalafat ; and in Mol-
davia :—Jassy, usch, Galatz, and Doroghoia. In
the early part of October detachments were sent
from other points to Ismail, Reni, and Kilia. Since
the departure of General Coronini in July last, the
effective strength of this corps of occupation has not
been increased.

An article in the Ost. Deutsche Post of Vienna
pronounes against a second congress :
This means (observes the writer) of settling the dif•
fereuce may appear to be excellent, but it is not so in
reality, for the congress might possibly lead to a very
penlous result. The Paris Conference only terminated so
promptly and so happily because all the powers were
agreed as to the object to be attained. But the congress
now asked for by the French journals would lead to pro-
found complications rather than any prompt conciliation.
In our opinion, a congress at the present moment would
only tend to dissolve the alliances, even formally; to

THE PRESS.

plain that " Parliament won't work." Surely
they must very soon find out the reason now,
and see that if Parliamentary Government is to
go on it must be conducted on a system of
openness. It must be conducted by men who
believe in the truth of certain doctrines, openly
profess what they believe, and fearlessly act
as they profess. Not by men who have neither
creed, candour, nor courage. A Ministry must
secure the support of a party by first acquiring
their confidence, not by offering themselves
merely as a refuge from despair, or, still worse,
by teaching the people, through their own ex-
ample, that honesty is a dream, and political
truth a phantom ; that to be indifferent is to
be comfortable, and to be anxious about cha-
racter, the mark of a simpleton. But we will
not believe so ill of the' people of England as
to suppose it possible they would be the wil-
ling victims of such fallacies. And we have a
firm conviction that but a very few more ses-
sions of Parliament, conducted like the last,
will shiver to dust the hollow imposture of the
great Liberal Party.

THE BANK OF FRANCE.

Tax Monthly Debtor end Creditor Account of the
Bank of France, made up to Thursday, the 13th
inst., was published yesterday. It appears to be, on

no'

the whole, of a better character than was anticipated.
In analysing its figures, Mr. William Avens, stock-
broker, of No. 13, Tokenhouse-yard, Lothbury,
thus speaks in his circular issued last evening :
Although the figures given below contain direct evidence
of the perilous nature of the cnsis now prevailing not in
Paris only, but throughout France, they show that the Direc-
torsof the Bank are still consistently pursuing the policy of
discouraging merely Bourse speculation by restricting
their advances and discounts. The decrease in the
bullion appears small, compared with the diminution re-
ported in the return for the preceding month ; but we are
informed by letters from Paris that it would have
amounted to at least 400,0001. if the Credit Mobilier had
not, on Wednesday, repaid an advance, in gold obtained
from Germany, a sum of 7,000,000 f., or 280,0001. Com•
pared with the previous return, the following table will
show the principal changes made in the position of the
establishment during the month, expressed in English
currency at an exchange of twenty-five francs to the pound
sterling :
Decrease in Circulation
Decrease in Public Deposits
Decrease in Private Deposits 630.812

THREE MEN WERE DROWNED IN THE CLYDE on
Saturday night last, under suspicious circumstances.
An Irish schooner had neglected to comply with
certain harbour regulations, and the constables took
the ferry-boat to board her, in order to ascertain her
name to institute a prosecution. Suddenly cries
were heard. The constables on shore launched a
boat, and, pulling into the middle of the river, found
the ferry-boat floating down without a soul in her.
After an hour's dragging the bodies of the men were
recovered. The captain's crew of the schooner have
been arrested. They say the boat capsized, but as
she is a heavy ferry-boat, and was found floating
righted, and with the oars in the rowlocks, that at
least appears improbable.
THE FLOOR OF THE BRIDOEND SAYINGS•BANK fell
in on Saturday evening between eight and nine
o'clock, when the room was crowded. Thirty persons,
with the banker, his desk, books, chairs, &c., were
swallowed up in the region beneath—a lumbar and
coal cellar. No one sustained any serious injury.

Vrobintial.

LORD RAVENSWORTR last week attended the first
anniversary of the Blaydon Literary Institution. The
noble lord delivered an address on the occasion, and
in the course of his remarks alluded to the subject of
infidelity in revealed religion. Pointing out the
distinction drawn by Blackstone between public and
private vities, and ot the power of the 'aw to prevent
the influence on society of the first, Lord Ravens-
worth argued that as revealed religion was the
foundation of all judicial oaths and of all human
law, its preservation inviolate became an indispen
sable necessity, and that therefore when the great
principles ot religion were attacked it became the
duty of society to stand boldly forward in their
defence. And the law would support them ; for,
without in any way desiring the revival of religious
persecution, there was not the slightest doubt that
any open defiance of Christianity, or openly impugn-
ing the doctrines of revealed religion, became an
offence in the eye of the law, and might, if necessary,
be brought under the cognisance of the Secretary of
State :

tk. And let me tell you that those who may attempt it may
probably tind themselves under the prosecution of her
Majesty's Attorney-General. What says Blackstone upon
this point, speaking of public wrongs, in his fourth book?—

CORN EXCHANGE—The arrivals of English wheat up to
our market this weak, coastwise and by land-carriage, have
been very moderate, and about one-half of the Bur ply has been
composed of the new crop in fair condition. , There has been
much less activity in the demand, yet the advance noticed in
our last report has been supported. For foreign wheat— the
imports of which have not been extensive—we have had a fair
inquiry, at full prices. Floating cargoes have commanded leas
attention. The barley trade has continued very firm, and fine
new qualities have realised quite 50s per quarter. Malt has
commanded fully previous rates, with a eight improvement in
the demand. Although the show of foreign oats has continued
extensive, prime samples have realised ud per quarter more
money. Beans and peas have been steady. In flour a good
business has been doing, at very full prices.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian official organ in Italy, the Milan
Gazette, contradicts the statement of Garibaldi that
Ceceruacchio, his two sons, and four other indi-
viduals, had been shot by an Austrian detachment,
commanded by an officer belonging to the Imperial
family. The Gazette states that Ceceruacchio was
drowned while attempting to cross the Po. It does
not account for the fate of his companions.
The Government at Vienna continue to display
the utmost energy in strengthening and increasing
the Austrian navy. A ship of the line and two screw
frigates, with a powerful war steamer, have been laid
down and are now building at Pola. A letter in the
Augsburg Gazette says, in reference to this :
It is reported that the late journey of M. de Bach,
Minister of the interior, to Dalmatia, is connected with a
project entertained of uniting the Government cf that
province with that of the seacoast, and of placing at the
bead of this Government the Archduke Ferdinand
Maximilian. The project is suggested by the develop-
ment given to the Austrian navy.
The Government have given notice that the
"pardon" (!) • of. the Emperor will he granted on
their return to-those subjects who without perfais-
gen entered the British Italian Legion.

Obituarl

THE HON. SIR W. TEMPLE, K.C.8., late Minister
Plenipotentiary at the Court of Naples, died on
Sunday morning at nine o'clock, at his temporary
residence in Dover-street, Piccadilly. The deceased
was second son of Henry, second Viscount Palmers-
ton, by Mary, only daughter of Mr. Benjamin Mee.
He was born on the 19th of January, 1788. He was
unmarried. He was brought up to the diplomatic
service, and was first attached to the embassy at the
Hague in 181 t. In September the same year Mr.
Temple went in an official capacity to the Congress of
Vienna, and shortly afterwards was appointed Secre-
tary of Legation at Stockholm. He filled the same
position at Frankfort from July, 1817, until Novem-
ber, 1823, when he was appointed Secretary of
Legation to Berlin. In January, 1828, he was ap-
pointed Secretary of Embassy to St. Petersburg, and
was afterwards pricis writer to his brother, Viscount
Palmerston, from January,lB3l, to September, 1832.
On the 18th of that month, in the same year, lie was
appointed Minister to the Court of Dresden, and in
the following November Envoy Extraordinary and
Alini.ter Plenipotentiary to the Court of Naples, the
duties of which high office he discharged up to the
last week of the past month, when ill•health com-
pelled him to relinquish his diplomatic functions, and
return to England. Although his health was felt to
be in a precarious state, his death was scarcely an-
ticipated so soon. On Thursday evening last he took
his accustomed carriage drive, and received a visit
from Lady Palmerston on Saturday afternoon, pre-
vious to her leaving town for Brocket-hall, and late in
the evening Viscount Palmerston also called on him,
and remained until an advanced hour. Until half
an hour before his death the deceased was in full
possession cf all his faculties, and then expired in
perfect calmness, without the least apparent pain.
Sir William Temple was nominated a Civil Knight
Cross of the Bath in March, 1852, for his diplomatic
services.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3n, 1856.

THE argument most relied on against the
Conservative party and leaders seems to be,
that they have no great scheme of policy to
propose. Where, it is asked, are their " large
measures?" What do they offer the country?
What particular reforms do they advocate?
What extensive changes do they show them-
selves anxious to promote? We give as
closely and faithfully as we can the idea put
forward in several leading journals. The con-
ception of the writers appears to be that a
change of Government is never desirable
unless a revolution has to be accomplished.
They suppose that parties should contend one
against another for popular support, and that
the prize of Government should be knocked
down to the highest bidder. As any such con
test must infallibly result in the ruin of the
Constitution, the Conservatives are not likely
to be a party to it.
This demand for mighty changes and start-
ling effects does not come with a good grace
from the supporters of the existing Adminis-
tration. We cannot learn that it has any
scheme of policy to propose ; or that it
has any intention of settling those vexed
questions of our time which urgently call
for settlement. Suspended between oppo-
site poles of policy, it is kept in a state of per-
petual variation ; it is the very essence of a
negation. It would be nothing were it some-
thing, and it is something only because it is
nothing. The Conservatives have a creed,• as
shown by Mr. DISRAELI'S speech at.the close
of the session ; and they have objects and a
policy, as shown by their conduct during the
session. But what creed or what objects has
the once great Liberal party ? That party is
nothing now but a connection, kept together
by, the basest of all party influences—the en-
joyment and the expectation of Government
rewards.

It is the vulgarest imaginable conception of
statesmanship to suppose that the leaders of
a party are to be always bidding for office in
the face of the people, or that, like players in
the booths of a fair, they are to he always per-
forming antics on the outer stage, that they
may attract support to see the wonders they
will perform inside. The critics on the present
attitude of the Conservative party intimate
that its leaders should promise such wonders
as are set forth in the bills of a travelling
circus. One performer ought to dance a horn-
pipe on the extremity of an elephant's trunk,
and another to leap through the windows of
a stage coach when it is in full career. We
beg leave to think that it is not by such
absurd antics that the confidence of the
country is to be won. If a Ranliamentary
majority can only be.gained by the promise of
revolutionary changes, the Conservatives had
much better remain in a minority. Lord
