LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 18.

Mary months have passed away since the Roman
Quedionbecame a "dropped"subject for the English
press. M. Mixoarrri, and his colleagues, feel this
Roman question to be purely one of Right against
Force, and they believe that the silent patience of
Right must sooner or later prevail. There 51 a
strength in this attitude of proud and calm expecta-
tion, and we have too much faith in moral forces to
doubt of the ultimate triumph of • just cause.
Yet we have even • livelier faith in that " il-
" exorable logic" of which the French Govern.
went is so fond of talking, and which is
already rendering the position of the French
protectors of the Temporal Power and the
French soldiers of the Pore intolerably odious
and absurd in the face of the civilized world. Now
ridicule, we know, is no laughing matter for sag
French Government.

A recent incident in the harbour of Genoa,
which has attracted attention in France and
Italy, seems calculated to make this ridi•
cute and this odium still more sharply felt. A
few weeks since, after the French elections in
town and country had pronounced unmistakeably
against the foreign and domestic policy of the
Second Empire, the French Government
began to lecture the Court of Rome ,
sharply on the inconvenience and imprudence of
its doing the dirty work of the Neapolitan Bona-
Bola, arming and blessing and equipping the cut-
throats and marauders who sallied forth from the
precincts of the Vatican to commit crimes at which
humanity shudders, under the joint patronage
of his Majesty Fasiveis 11., and his Ham-
Ness. For two years and more, as all the
world knows, and as the British Parliament was
again and again informed on official authority,
the "brigands" have been organized by agents
of the Papal Court and by officers of Fazzteis IL,
under cover of a French army and of a
French police, before the eyes of French
generals, and with the full knowledge and assent
of the Frenih Government. Repeatedly has the
Government at Turin complained of the abuse of
French protection, and requested the EMPEROR to
cease to lend his countenance to practices which
would justify reprisals. These appeals were
politely listened to and forgotten, and month after
month, year after year, the Papal-Bourbon bri-
gandage went on by permission of the EMPEROR.
At length, after the elections, the consc;ence of
the Imperial Government woke up, and one fine
morning Murrain', the chief of the Botritsox
brigand army, was arrested at Rome and lodged
in prison by the French police, and with him
several of his aides and associates. So active
has the French police at Rome become of
late in hunting out and seizing the villains
it has harboured for two years past,
that the headquarters of brigandage are
utterly routed and broken up, their funds ex-
hausted by mutual thieving, and their occupation
gone ; even Fitzricis 11. himself and all his court
are on the point of throwing up the game, and
decamping to Bavaria or Bohemia. The tardy
but decisive action of the French authorities
has almost persuaded the Italians to believe
once more that their great ally was a
misunderstood man and more honest than he
seemed. Renewed confidence in the good in-
tentions of the EMPEROR has taken the form of
excessive zeal in one instance, and re-
sulted in the untoward occurrence at
Genoa. It appears that five of the most noto-
rious and bloodthirsty of the brigands upon
whom the French police had lately laid hands,
were shipped for Spain in one of the steamers of
the French Messageries Imperiales, and furnished
with Pontifical and French passports. No sooner
had the Audis come to an anchor in the port of
Genoa than news flew through the city that these
five criminals were on board. Presently the
Governor of the town proceeded to the French
Consulate to demand an authorization to seize
them. But before matters could be arranged with
tle Consul, the steamer was observed to be pre-
paring to proceed to sea again. She was instantly
surrounded and boarded, and the five bri-
gands arrested and conveyed on shore be-
, fore the proceedings at the Consulate were
completed. The Consul very properly acceded to
the request of the Governor ; but the actual arrest
had taken place without waiting for his autho.

rization or the Governor's. There way therefore,
a superficial informality in the manner and
'moment of the act of seizure, but an informality
susceptible of the simplest and most satisfactory
explanation, and absolved in substance if
not in form by the authorisation of the French
Consul, which arrived too late. The people
at Genoa and throughout Italy were natu-
rally delighted at the arrest of five
men who were not, except in a BOURBON sense,
political offenders, but common thieves and mur-
derers of the blackest dye. Probably there was
also a feeling of satisfaction at this unusual evidence
of goodwill on the part of the French Govern-
ment, and of independence on the part of
the Turin Government. Probably the Genoese
were pleased at the resolute act of their own
prefect. And will it be believed that in
France this arrest of five cutthroats in an Italian
harbour, is regarded as an insult to the French
flag ; as almost another " Trent affair ;" and
that even French liberal journals are so blinded
by that false national vanity and that false point
of honour which are the curse of their country, as
to insist on reparation for the offence ? Such is
the latest but not the last incident of the Roman
question, as between France and Italy.

that the president should be elected by the governing
body, and be assisted by a council of eleven ; that en ho-
norary clam should be added of artiste from all countries ;
and that another should be formed of art workmen of dis-
tinguished eminence. The academicians, moreover, are to
exhibit only four pictures instead of eight, and the Academy
should either have the whole of the Natiooal Gallery or
migrate to Burlington House.

THE EILICLISSIMITICAL COMILIPAION.--The select
committee of the House of Commons which was appointed
in the early part of this sessioo to inquire into the working
of the Ecclesiastical Commission, has at length presented
its report. The report recognises broadly the failure of the
commission to satisfy the objects of its incorporation, traces
that failure to sources, and suggests several practic..l
remedies. The first is the delegation of one branch of its
fumed., to an independent authority ; the second is the re-
constitution of the existing commission, for the more eEi•
dent exercise of the powers which it is to retain. They are
of opinion that the management of ecclesiastical property
and the application of surplus revenues to the wants of
destitute parishes should be vested in two separate bodies.
Discerning that a corporation comprising all the bishops in
England awl Wales. all the chief justice., and "other per-
sons of distinction" to the number of more than fifty, is
ill qualified for the business of land agency, they gem,
mend th►t these duties should be transferred to a board
consisting of one unpaid and two paid commissioners.
The former, anoordiog to their plan, would have a
seat in parliament, and one of the latter would he
an experienced barrister ; but purely legral questions would
be referred to an advising counsel with a fixed salary.
With reprd to all the other functions now discharged by
the Ecclesiastical Commission, the committee think it ex•
pedieut that " local associatioas in each diocese, composed
of clergy sod laity." intimately acquainted with the
spiritual wants of each neighhourhood, should perform some
of the duties. Until this scheme of co-operation can be
carried out, the committee recommend that the distribution
of the funds in question should be committed to the gover-
nors of Queen Anoe's bounty.

THE RUSSIAN REPLY ON THE POLISH
QUESTION.

PA KIS, JULY 18.

According to information published by the
Courrier du Dimauthe, the reply of Mazda is marked
by a decided spirit of conciliation, although not
forgetful of the dignity of a great empire.

Prince Gortchakoff is said to declare that the
sit points are in accordance with the intentions
of the Russian government.

With regard-to an armistice, Russia, obeying
superior considerations, deems it impossible to
defer to this wish. She, however, accepts the pro-
posal of a conference in principle.

FRESH LEVY OF RUSSIAN TROOPS.
ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 18.

An imperial decree has been published which, in
view of the present state of affairs, orders a fresh
levy of troops in November next, at the rate of 10
men for every 1,000 of the population.

forgery was so ingeniously executed that he would,
doubtless, have got the money but for the fact that
it bad been already paid to the holder of the genuine
ticket, M. Buquet, a tradesman of Pontoise. I
take this opportunity of stigmatising the scandal-
OW, encouragement which the french government
gives to lotteries. They were abolished long ago in
principle, as immoral things tending to cbouse the
poor out of their scarce pence, and foster a spirit
of gambling. But various exceptions to the rule have
been admitted of late years. Charitable pretexts
advocated by priests first introduced the thin end
of the wedge ; and now for many years past the
windows of all the tobacconists shops have
never been free from a display of tickets
offering the chance of a large fortune for a
small sum. The success of poor Lamartine (after
the failure of many other devices to raise the wind)
in relieving his necessities by a lottery at twopence
halfpenny the ticket, has emboldened other specu-
lators who have not failed to obtain government
permission to practise upon public credulity. A
lottery office now boldly advertises the " 25 cen-
time ticket" as one of the greatest of modern dis-
coveries, and holds it up to admiration as a national
institution, with as much confidence as Jefferson
Davis does slavery. Every newspaper contains
advertisements, exhorting people to gain 100,030
franca for 25 centimes, and mentioning the names of
people who have won, in order to excite cupidity,
and represent that opulence would be the rather
probable consequence than otherwise of taking a
single ticket. In the case of this very Montene-
grins lottery 5C0,000 francs (supposing all
the tickets to have been sold) have bees
raised front the public, and of this large sum only
125,000 f. (just one quarter) has been distributed
in prizes. What becomes of the rest of the mo-
ney 1 Nobody knows. And what is the Montene-
grine lottery ? Nobody knows ; or at least not a
single Paris journal has ever given any explanation
about it, and Ido not believe that any journal
dares at this moment to give any explanation about
it. In the next meeting of the Corps Legislatif,
supposing no step to be taken in the meantime to
crush by violent and illegal means that liberty
which is now raising its head, a question will
probably be asked on this subject. Then perhaps
the public will learn for whose benefit it is that the
poor and ignorant, the needy and embarrassed have
been stimulated to dissipate their savings or increase
their debts, by daily advertisements dinning into
their ears the figures representing fabulous wealth,
but sinking the fact that the chances were four
millions to one against every ticket.
