neglected them as Lord 0011.7011 D did; then a man
from whom better things are hoped. Book a system
at once places.the ineumbeat m an offensive position,
stuffs him full of pretension hurtful to the promotion
' of religion, and creates a gulf between him and his
parishioners which may, it is tree, be bridged over in
time, but whisk it is vary difficult to bridge over.
And, as with the appointment to, so with the
division of this great parish. •The inhabitants are
fit tom thlt „;;;Lricaooll WIONA Oa to be
their new rector ; and then they hear that
their parish 'has to be quoad sacra divided. Bat,
u touching his appointment none of them were
consulted, so neither are they to have aught to do
with the division. They are treated as children
incompetent to judge of the efficiency or inefficiency
of their minister to edify them, and of the manner
and :tent to which their parish is to be divided. All
that bas to be done for them at Farnham Castle and

Whitehall-place; and when done so effectually that
it can't be undone, they will have an opportunity of
complaining aimlessly ; just as the parishioners of
Bishop Weermouth had. The Bishop of WINTON
will arrange with Archdeacon WIGRAM the terms and
mode of the division. When Play have "made things
pleasant," the Ecclesiastical Commission will bestow
on their arrangement the force of law; and then the
parish of St. Mazy's will be informed. Such is the
process.
This we say is unreasonable; the parishioners
of St. Mary's are just as well, and probably
much better, calculated to arrange this matter as
the Bishop of WINCIIEsTER or the Ecclesiastical
Commission for them. At all events, the division of
the parish is their affair, their concern, their business;
and by every analogy of public matters in this coun-
try, they ought to have some share and part in the
division. Yet the 20,000 inhabitants of St. Mary's are
to have no more to do with the re-arrangement of

their parish than they had in the choice of their
minister.

Bishops may depend upon it that such a system
will not in these days last ; its endurance is an insult
to the intelligence of the public; and ecclesiastical
affairs in this country can never, they may take our
word for it, be satisfactorily arranged until the power
of the laity is largely increased, and the authority of
the bishops and clergy is greatly decreased, or rather
strictly confined to its proper functions.

FRANCE.

THE NEW MINISTRY.
PARIS, TACK/IDLY EVININO.

At this moment it is certain that the new cabinet
hu been formed. M. Drouyn de Pliuys, late am-
bassador to England, takes the ministry of Fo-
reign Affairs; General Repault St. Jean d'An-
ply that of War; Baroche, Rouher, Fould,
and Bineau retain their places. M. Dumas
gives up the ministry of Agriculture and Commerce to
M. Duos, and takes the department of Public In-
struction : lastly, the Ministry of Marine is offered to
Admiral Leblanc, who is, however, expected to de-
cline it.

This cabinet comes in pledged to suppress the mi-
litary command of General Changarnier. That ge-
neral's exceptional pusition having been created by
a special law, the government will propose to the
Assembly, without delay, the abrogation of that law.
The majority of the Assembly showed, during the
whole of the sitting, visible irritation, and when news
was brought from the Elysee that the above cabinet
had been formed, the dissatisfaction which reigned on
the Right of the Chamber seemed at the height. The
Elysean name of Gen. Regnault de St. Angely as
Minister of War was particularly offensive to
the burgraves. The weight of M. Drouyn de l'llays's
name gives an aspect of firmness to the new com-
bination, and the fact of M. Beroche remaining in
the cabinet, is accepted as an omen e f the successful
accomplishment of the bold task which the new
ministry have undertaken. The commercial world
also regards with satisfaction the permanence of
I M. Kuld u Minister of Finance.

It was reported at one moment in the Chamber
that a menage would be read from the President, but
the sitting broke up without the occurrence of this
incident.
The time perhaps is come when reaction has cul-
minated, aad must abdicate before the common mad
of the nation. The assertion of the eight burgraves
that an army like that commanded by General
Changarnier is neceesary for the safety of
the Assembly, is absolutely devoid of all
verisimilitude. Nobody dreads any longer socialist
;nieutes ; nor does any one, but such people its M.
Yon, suspect the President of any design against the
Chamber. The reiterated assurances of his speeches
during his journey through the provinces, the
emphatic pledge contained in the last message t
spect his oath, to observe the constitution, and to
bow to the le,rally declared will of France, as regarded
the prolongation of his powers—and more than ail, the
man's known lineal and uprightness of character put
all the doubts and misgivings expressed by the majority
of the Assembly in their true light, as mere insincere
pretexts for keeping the government designedly we..k,
and retaining all power in its on n hands until the favour-
able moment arrive for a restoration of the monarchy.

It is of great importance at the present moment to
know what amount of support the President can
obtain from the Left of. the Assembly as
well as trom the Eight, in his determination to
break the command of Gener.•l Changarnier.

Well; nearly all the organs cf the several tractions
of the Left take decidedly the President's part, and
applaud his resolution; and even those democratic
papers which have habitually opposed his govern-
ment
are far more adverse to General Ctangarnier
than to Louis Napoleon.
No debate of importanee took place in the Assem-
bly. General Changarnier was the chief object of
attention, and remained for a long time in the
couluirs, the centre of an immense group of repre-
sentatives.

The Constautsonnel gives the following details re-
specting the interview of yesterday :
" The President said that he was ready to accept,
for the formation of a new cabinet, the concurrence of
those among his eight hearers who partook his opinion
on the organisation of the army of Paris. He then
turned to M. Dupin and said, " If you want troops
you will have them ; but I promise you that you will
have no enemies."
It was expected that the dismissal of General
Changarnier would appear in the Afoniteur of this
morning.
7,700,000 f. have been paid into the Treasury by
the Receiver-General. This sum is the first instal-
ment on account of the Five and Three per Cent.
Renter, as adjudicated on the 31st of December.
At the Bourse the funds were very firm. The
Fives eland at 94.80, with a rise of 5 centimes on
yesterday.
