TEE RIGHT HON. B. DISRAELI ON THE If ANON-
ALITY OP THE CHURCH OP ENGLAND.

HIGH WYCOMBE, TIiIIISDAT.

The annual meeting of the Society for Augment-
ing Small Benefices in the Diocese of Oxford, wsa held this
afternoon; the Bishop of Osman in the chair. There
were also present the Right Hon. B. Diaraeli, M.P., the
Bight Hon. S. H. Walpole, IL P., Mr. Hubbard, IL P.,
the High Sheriff, Sir C. Young, Archdeacon Bickersteth,
the Rev. C. Lloyd, the Rev. T. Evatte (rural dean), Mr.
W. Lowndee, acc.

The Might Rev. Cliaranan opened the prooeedinp by ex.
piaining the nature and objects of the society, ,'Wing that
in the diocese there were 72 livings with incomes wider
100/. a year, 85 livings with incomes under 1501., and 66
livings with incomes under 2001. This, out of 613 benefices
altogether, showed a very large proportion of poverty es set
against, generally speaking, a peat moderation of endow-
ment in the other parishes. An adequate provision could
sot be made for the poor livings by means of a division of
the existing endowments. As far as the object could be
accomplished it was accomplished by parliamentary eosot•
ment, under which a common fund wm devised to meet
the case of the mast necessitous districts, grants from
which were made in proportion to the rums raised by local
ocatribution. (Hear.)

Archdeacon Bieciebeirst tooted the firs* resolution—
" That the poverty of • large number of the livings in this
diocese a subject which demands the careful consideration
of all those who are interested in the welfare of the national
church r and in so doing entered into a variety of details,
for the purpose of showing the necessity of increased ex-
ertions on behalf of the society.
The Right Hon. B. Duataxid, in weeding the resolution,
rid—lt is not at all surprising that the church of
England should not be i rich church, because the
church of England has been despoiled. (Hear, hear.)
That is not a fate peculiar to the thumb of Eeg.
land. Other churches have been despoiled. But there
is this peculiarity with regard to the church of Eugland is
.this matter, that in other countries, when the property of a
church has been taken from it, whether the plea was right
or whether it was wrong—and I am not of course entering
into any controversy on the subject—but in other coun-
tries when the church has been deprived of its property by the
state, that property has at lead been applied to public and
national purposes. That has not been so in the camel the
church of England.. The property of the church of England
has teen granted by despots and tyrants to their DDIDODS,
sod has been in this country, fortunately now many centuries
ago, the foundation of the establishment of powerful fami-
lies, which by virtue of the possession of that property, and
not from any public services, have bad for generations •
great portico of the government of this country under its
power and its patronage. (Hear, hear.) Well, 1 find in
these circumstance* of aggravation in the case of the spolia-
tion of the church in this country, compared with the spolia-
tion of churches in other,countries, circumstances of conso-
lation and of hope, because we live in an age when commu-
nities are governed by tife influence of opinion, and when
individuals are regulated in their conduct to a syeat degree
by the influence of oonerissee; sod I cum* for • moment
believe that the swam* desceudants of these original
appropriators of church property, when they learn—amain •
country of free discussion like the present they Mast all of
them be well informed upon the subject—whets they know
that men of English education are from • sense of duty teed de-
votion dedicating their live, to the comfortingof the people,
and receiving for their !about stipends which even menials
would refuse—(hear, henry-I nowt but believe that the
, estimable descendante of the original proprietors, is the I
satiety of their splendour, must feel an impulse that will
make them apply •portieu of that property which they afar
ago unjustly obtained topnrposs of a character -which
society will recognise, and by its approbation reward.
(Hear, bear.) And I think, my lend, that what we have
beard to-day, and what we know of the-action:of thisamisty,
justifies that expectation. (Hear, hear.) What has been
mentioned by the archdeacon respecting oar esteemed
neighbonr Lord Rowe (who use built and endowed • church
at an expense of 10,0001.) is a most gratifying case, and I
piust do this justice to the Duke of Bedford to say that •
communication has been received from him, couched
in • spirit worthy of hies . big & pesilioo • and of
the easellsot estetheieed for him, whinh
shows that he completely recognises the justice
of the principle which I have indicated, and that he feels it
his duty, as it has been his performance, with respect to
all those miserably paid livings on hieown estates, possessing,
as it is well known that family does, large ecclesiastical pro-
perty, to raise in every instance all those low livings to a
rate, not of considerable amount, but which is at least
adequate to sustain a clergyman who is performing parochial
duty. (Cheers.) Well, then, I say that we have • right to
expect that • part of that property that was alieuated under
circumstances which could not be prevented and be justified
in the present age from the church, will yet find its way to
the increase of these livings. (Hear.) But I should not
be acting with candour to your lordship if I concealed any
opinion that there is little hope of any large action on the
part of the class to which I have referred in this respect,
or indeed I may say that there is not much chance of great
exertion to be made by the laity of the church generally
unites the church itself take • more definite tad deter-
mined position than it has occupied during the hurt five.
aod-twenty years. (Hear, hear.) During that period there
has been a degree of perplexity, of hesitation, I will say
of even inconsisteucy in the relations between the church
and the nation, that has damped the ardour and depressed
the energy of churchmen. 1 think it not difficult to indicate
what is the probable cause of that conduct, and it is only
by ascertaining the cause that we can perhaps apply the
remedy which may, remove these injurious consequences..
The society of this country is established upon the priu-
ciples of civil and religious Liberty, and in my opinion it is
impossible. and certainly it is not desirable, to resist the
complete development of that principle. (Hear, hear.) At
the same time you have a church established by law—that
is to say, a national church—and there is an apparent incon-
sistency to the principle which you have adopted as the ground
of your social system and the existence of that established
church, because the principle of civil and religions liberty
had placed legislative power in the !mods of great bodies of
the people who are not in communion with the church—
(hear, hear)—and they have used that power during the last
25 years with caution at first, with great deliberation at first,
but as time advanced, with greater boldness and greater
energy, until within the last few years they have made an
avowed attack upon that church, 000 ducted with great
ability and great courage. (Hear, hear.) That being the
case, you know what has occurred within the last quarter of
a century—you have au apparent want of sympathy between
that which by our constitution is the national church and •
great body of the nation ; and that is a state of affairs
I which is no doubt to be highly deprecated. (Hoar,
hear.) Twenty years ago, when the inconvenience
was first very generally felt, ardent churchmen,
sincere churchmen as ever lived, thought they had
found • solution of this difficulty by termivating the union
between church and state. They said, " Terminate the
union between church and state, as the whole of the nation
is no longer in communion with the church, and you will
put an end to the dissatisfaction that partial)), and to •
considerable degree prevails." That no doubt is a very
plausible suggestion, and one that has been accepted by
ingenuous and able minds. But if it is looked into, it will
be found one that will tend, in my opinion, to results very
different from those which are anticipated by the indi-
viduals who are favourable to it, and I think unsatisfactory
and injurious to the Muntry—(hear)—because it cannot be
supposed for • moment that the civil power in this age will
tolerate an imperium is imperio, and that it will allow a
great corporation, in possession of large property—for the
property u considerable, although, if distributed, it may sot
offer adequate compensation to those who am labouring in
it. service—the civil power in this age will not permit a
great corporation in possession of this vast property to act
in Independence of the state—(theen) ; and therefore there
is uo concealing it from ourselves that it would soon mil in
further spoliation, and the church would be left without
the endowment and status which it at present possesses.
(Hear, hear.) The principles of divine truth, I admit, do
not depend upon property • but the human machinery by
which the circulation of the principles of divine truth as
effected depends upon property for its organisation, and no
cue can deny for a moment that the church, deprived of the
means by which the divine instruction which it is its duty
to afford to the people is secured—the church, deprived of
these means, would of courai lose immensely in its effi-
ciency. (Hear.) But in the case of the church of England
it is not merely • question of the loss of its property, but it
is also a question of the peculiar character of that
property, bemuse the property of the church of
England is territorial property ; it is a property
so distributed throughout the country that it makes
it from the very nature of its tenure a national church ; and
the power of the church of England does not depend merely
on the amount of the property which it possesses, but is •
great degree on the kind and character of that property.
(Heir, hear.) Then I say the result will be that the church
of England deprived of its status would become merely an
episcopal sect io this country, and in time in this country it ;
is not impossible that it might become an insignificant one.
Bit that is not perhaps the whole of the greatest evil that
might arrive from the dissolution of the contreaton between
the church and the state, because in the present age the
art of government becoines every day more difficult and no
government will allow • principle so powerful as the reli.
pious principle to he divorced from the influence by which
ti re-ulates the affairs of • country. Them what would hap-
pen ? Why it is very obvious what would Impose. The state
of England would take CUSS attar the church was spoiled to
enlist in its service what are called the ministers of all reli-
gions. The ministen, of all religiose would be salaried by
the state, and the consequence of the dissolution of the
alliance between church and state would be equally

disesteem to the churchman and the nonconformist.
(Near, hear.) It would place the ministers of all
spiritual influences under the control and the influencelof
the civil power, and in this country it would effect in reality
a revolution in the national character. (Hear, beam) It
would, in my opinion, even have an injurious effect upon the
liberties of the oonntry, and I cannot believe that, after the
thought and discussion that have been devoted to the sub-
ject for the last twenty yeses, there can be .monist
those who have well considered the subject any great diffe-
rams of opinion ; but that all men—l would my the church-
man, the dissenter, the philosopher would all shrink from
a Nokia* of the difticsilty which we feel with regard
to the •preeeet state of the church d England--•
solution effected by means so injurious as the
one to which I have referred. (Hear, hear.)
Well, then, what would you do? I maintain that you bane
only one alternative—that if you do not favour a dissolution
between church and state you must motet the nationality of
the church of England. (Hear.) I know it will be said,
" need the nationality of a church in • nation where there
are millions not in commuzioe with that church ! These
are words easy to use, but practically what would be the
consequence of • mere phrase!' Well, I think that is a
point that requires a moment's pave consideration, and in
the lint place it is expedient to ascertain what is the cha-
racter of those--I will acknowledge it—makes who ere not

these are not dimentem from the church—these menet
millions who havequitted the church—they are great masses
of the population who have newer yes entered into eommn-
•ion with the church. (Hem.) The late Archbishop of
Canterbury, a most amiable and pious man—oser
sad by so means deficientiw obsematioi of the times,
many of the last years of his life in great per-
plexity about the anomalous position of that 'enamel church
of which he was the primate. I wh, myself a member of the

who had to confer together upon the doodle:it clash 'Mould
be taken in the two houses by the friends of the church
upon some momentous questions in which the interests and
character of the church were concerned, and the Archbishop
of Canterbury was our chairman. In every instance in
-which we bad to confer together, the archbishop always
counselled surrender, sad sarmeder without oonditiiins.
Fortunately thee were other opinions upon that Optil.
mittee, and I am glad to say that in every instance
the archbishop was out-voted. It so happened that in all
these cases when they were .brought before the Houses of
Parliament for decision, it was proved that the_ opinion of
the archbishop had been erroneous, and that be hid Meal-
otilated the feeling in favour of the thumb which existed in
the country, iss the decision of the Hams of Parlia-
ment, and es yof the House of Code:eons, it a reflex
of the feeling* of country on ruck • subject.' Mier,
hear.) The year Ware the archbishop died he did un'the
honour of seeking a conversation with me, and the object
of that conversation was to explain the course which he
had taken with regard to thee questions, on which he
admitted, so far se recent occurrences were concerned, he
had been mistaken. "But (said he) although I may have
formed an erroneous judgment, and although I admit that
you and your friends were right in your view of the=
still I went upon • great fact ; my conduct was
upon the great fact, which no one can deny, and it is this—
ou one cam deny that the population has outgrown the
church." (Hear, hear.) No one can deny that. I don't
deny that, but I draw from that fact • conclusion exactly
opposite to that of the late Archbishop. (Hear, hear.) My
inference is the very reverse of the one which he drew,
and the conduct which he consequently recommended. If,
indeed, the church of England were iu the same state as the
' Pagan religion was in the time of Constantine—if her
altars were paling before the divine splendour of inspired
shrines—it might be well indeed for the church and the
ministers of the church to consider the course they should pur-
ee. But nothing of that kind is the case. You have to deal. so
far se regards the millions, with those who are not in com-
munion with the church, and whom I would describe, dis-
tinguishing them from the dissenters, as those who are Indif-
ferent to the church. You are dealing with millions of the
English people. And who are the English people ? The English
people are without exception the most enthusiastic people
in the world. There are man excitable races. The French
and the Italians are much more excitable ; but for deep and
fervid feeling there is no population in the world, no race in
the world at all equal to the English. And what in the sub-
ject of all others upon which the English people have always
been most enthusiastic ? Religion. The notes on the gamut
of their feelings ace few, but they are deep. Industry,
liberty, and religion, form the solemn erale—ilidustry,
liberty, religion—that is the history of England. (Cheers.)
Now upon these three subjects they have periods of exalta-
tion. They have bad periods of deep feeling both with re-
gard to toil and with regard to liberty, and it ia not at all im-
possible—nay, I would not hesitate to say, so far as my own
opinion is concerned, that I think there are many
in this room who will witness a period of exal-
tation in thd public mind of the country, sod
especially among those millions with regard to
religion, which has certainly been equalled in OUT tame or in
the times of our fathers. But what au opportunity is
that for a church—what an opportunity when the great
bodies of the nation who have never been in communion
with the °berth, with their mind', their helium', and their
passions all in the direction of religion, and influenced by
the religious principle—what an opportunity for a church,
with its learning, its organization, the ineffable influence of
tradition ; with its sacred services, with its divine offices,
with all the beauty of boluses in which it professes to ad-
vance and address them ; what an immense field for a
church ! But what • field ant merely for • corporation.
which is not merely a church, but which is the Church of
England. which blends with divine instruction an appeal to
the sentiment of patriotism, and announces itself not only
the church of God but the church of the country ! (Cheers.)
1 say, that with these views, instead of supposing that the
relations which exist between a large body of our fellow-
subjects and the church—relations at this moment of in-
difference, or even of alienatioa—sre causes why the

church slioald not assert its nationality ; than are causes
and circumstances which peculiarly call upon the church to
exert itself, and not only to exert itself but to prepare for
the forthcoming future, which will demand urn utmost
energies, as I believe it will give it its greatest rewards.
(Cheers.)

Tim Rim. F. D. MAIIRICE.—It is understood
that the Rev. F. D. Maurice has resigned his preferment
in the established church. Reluctantly canvinoed, we may
presume, by recent jedgmetita in the Court of Arches,
he hos at length seen, what all unprejudiced on-lookers have
long seen, the utter incompatibility of his theology with the
formularies which he has pledged himself to maintain. We
are glad of this on all accounts : on Mr. Maurice's own
account, for the noble elements of his character will no
longer be compromised hy the equivocal morality of hie
position. We are glad for the sake of truth; for, what-
ever a man's theological errors—and we think some of
Mr. Maurice• are serious-- truth always gains when
a man shows himself faithful and aelfeacrificing
in the maintenance of conviction. Mr. Maurice will be free
DOVI to maintain whatever opinions he may hold or arrive
at ; and when we differ from him, we shall have simply to
combat the legitimate opinions of • free man, sod not to
coudemu the ambiguous morality of an adherent of creeds
which his combing contradicts. And we are glad for the
sake of the Church of England. Although we may think
that many of these anomalies spring out of ilex ecelesisstical
eyetem, yet it is no Omani., to us to see any church torn by
dissension sod emasculated by heresy. We wish that we
could congratulate her on Mr. Manrices example being fol-
lowed by Professor Jowett arid his co-Essayist', and by
Bishop Coleus°. But it is the infelicity of creels that they
legitimatize everything that they do not formally prohibit.—

Ms. Colons's Rochdale speech exhibits most
of the excellences, together with some of the worst
faults, of his political character. No one better
understands the causes and conditions of national
welfare. It is now the fashion to underrate
knowledge of this kind, although not many years
since we were all saying kthat the " condition of
" England question " was that which would
swallow up all others. That time may come again,
if it has not already arrived for a most important
district. But it is Mr. COBDEN'S serious defect
that to this question, which after all is not the
whole of public life, all his politics come sooner or
later. If nations were only municipalities, he
would be a first-rate statesman.
The distress in Lancashire must be the first
theme of any public man speaking at Rochdale.
It has increased, is increasing, and will increase, and
Mr. COBDEN, with all his knowledge, cannot tell
us how its cause is to be removed. We all know
that by the slow operation of self-interest, moving
agriculturists in India, Australia, Jamaica, and
elsewhere to grow cotton, the want will gradually
be supplied ; and Mr. COBDEN apparently can see
no nearer relief. But one thing he can see, and
as soon as he places it in the light of his strong'
common sense everybody sees it. Crafty people
are going about saying, " Wait no longer ; you
" have delayed too long already. Recognise the
" South, and enjoy once more your old abundance
" of cotton." Mr. COBDEN, to whom the whirr
of a cotton-mill is the sweetest music, says :
" Recognition of the South will not give you
" cotton." Those who give the advice know
this as well as he does, and always mean that re-
cognition is to be followed up by war measures.
But Mr. COBDEN is satisfied that interference
would not give us the cotton. He will
"venture to say that it would be cheaper to
" keep all the population engaged in cotton manu-
" facture--aye, to keep them on turtle, chain-
" pagne, and venison—than to send to America to
" obtain that cotton by force of arms. It would
" involve you in a war, and six months of a war
" would coat more money than would be required
" to maintain this population comfortably for ten
" years." Of course this is not altogether conclu-
sive : it is merely a calculation. Mr. Coomee
has not answered those who would engage us in a
long and sanguinary struggle in the name of
" humanity." But as far as the policy of fighting
for cotton is concerned, he has shown that, what-
ever else it might do, it would not mitigate Lan-
cashire distress. That must be the business of all
of us, with head, and heart, and hand, until the
former supplies of industry are restored in a
natural way.
Mr. COBDEN'S complaint of the manner in
which the Liberal party is led, was marked by all
the bitter truthfulness of his speech in Parlia-
ment at the close of the session. It is true that
parties among us are not on an honest basis, and
that " the Tories are in power without the
" responsibility of office." Mr. COBDEN thinks
this state of things cannot go on much longer.
But we do not know what reason he has for ex-
pecting that a system which has lasted so long
is about to come to a sudden termination. It
omits the Tories, and we must presume that it suits
a very considerable number of " Liberals,"
who will cling to that designation as long
as it is possible under it to prevent
all effective reform. We do not think
Mr. COBDEN has hit upon the true cause of the
reaction under which every liberal interest has
long been suffering. He thinks it is Lord Pat-
sosasros ; but he is wrong ; Lord PaLmaitsros
never originated anything in his life. His most
ardent admirers only claim for him that he

MADRID, Ocr. 30.
The Council of Ministers has decided upon open-
ing the Cortes on Dec. 1.
The Marquis of Duero will be the govetameni
candidate for the presidency of the Senate.

Imagine a man bed-stretched for fifty days,
very low, very wearied, occasionally in considerable
pain, always suffering from the constraint of keep-
ing the same unchanged position, with as much on
his head and heart as most men—imagine him, I
say, invaded some half-dozen times a day by troops
of people he has never seen in his life ; who, for
the most part, speak no tongue but their own, and
who have not the shadow of a pretext for their
visit beyond their own personal curiosity. Picture
to yourself this man, with a very grateful
sense of innumerable attentions from these
people's couutrymen—for I am now talk-
ing solely of England and Englishmen—and
full of all the kindnesses of which he has been the
object, endeavouring to receive this motley horde
with equanimity, while perhaps his head is aching
or his ankle torturing him, straining every effort
to remember a language he has not used for seine
years, or to find fitting expressions for the common-
places which are to be exchanged on the occasion
—and all for what I That Mr. and Mrs. Brigges
may return to Clapham with the proud narrative of
their visit to Garibaldi and the overbearing con-
sciousness that their neighbours, the Digges's, never
touched the General's hand, nor heard that thrilling
voice, nor witnessed that captivating manner.
But let us own frankly that all this is very one-
sided. Garibaldi never wanted to see the Brigges's,
nor to hoar Mrs. Brigges' bad French, nor to
al:Amelia's photograph. It is a heavy price
to pay for the sympathy of some tiresome
vulgar people, to lie there to be stared at, and
sighed at, and groaned over—for they do all of
there things—and with a regularity that actually
would bespeak practice and preparation, and malice
aforethought.
It is constantly remarked that English people
presume to do abroad, and with foreigners, what no
amount of persuasion would lead them into doing
in their own country, or with their own countrymen ;
and it certainly requires no demonstration to
show that they dared not take the same liberty
with a distinguished Englishman that they have
permitted themselves to indulge in towards ,this
great man of Italy.
Would they, for instance, dare to knock at the door
of Lord Clyde's bedroom, and enter it without
waiting for a word of invitation, on the mere pre-
text that he was ill and they were curious 1 If I
seem at all over captious on this point it is because
the comments passed—and very freely passed—
upon our countrymen and countrywomen—justified
as they unquestionably are—are still neither agree-
able to endure nor easy to rebut, and, what is of
more consequence, Italians are rather prone to
balance English sympathy against English obtru-
siveness, and to say that our national generosity is
well requited by our national curiosity.
The consultation will take place on Wednesday
next, and I will endeavour to let you bear what is
the opinion come to, and, if I can, what are the
probabilities of seeing the General soon on his feet
again, and ready for that work which is assuredly
before him. As to America, believe me, it does
not enter into any of his plans. The present atti-
tude of France towards Italy has left no doubt at
all as to what is reserved for this country if Italians
are not able and willing to help themselves.
The catastrophe of Aspromonte has been acknow-
ledged by the appointment of M. Drouyn de Lhuys,
and as this is not what M. Battazzi compounded
for, let us see whether he will accept it as the re-
quital for all he himself has done, and all that
G'aribaldi has suffered for Italy.

did not form it, as Mr. COBDEN assumes. There
are special reasons why the hon. member should
not see all the truth of the case. The real author
of our misfortune is one of his idols. We have been
flung into increased military expenditure by the
French EMPEROR. The English nation has not
been " hoaxed," if Mr. COBDEN has. It hal
rightly judged that the man who sprang upon his
country like a tiger in the dead of night, was
capable of springing upon this island whenever it
suited his purpose. In vain Mr. COBDEN accu-
mulates statistics, tells us what money is spent
here and what there. The fact which meets us
at every turn is that Loris NAPOLEON is dictator
of the half of Europe, because he is the head of an
army of veterans.
The country every year put more and
snore upon its defence by the growth of this
man's power, has forgotten to maintain its ordi-
nary rate of political progress : it is unfortunate,
and, to some extent, it was inevitable. There
were two men who, under such circumstances,
could have preserved political feeling from retro-
grading if any could have done so. They were

A dinner was giveu to several celebrities at
Chatham by the high constable of the town on Wednesday
night. Lord Clarence Paget congratulated the people of
Chatham on the way in which the shipwrights in the
dockyard had constructed an iron-plated ship, and he pro-
ceeded to say that when all the works of the Admiralty
contemplated at Chatham were carried out England would
possess more basin accommodation for the reception of
ships of war at Chatham than France did in all her porte
put together. Sir F. Smith congratulated the Chatham
people on this statement, which' showed that the govern.
meat contemplated making Chatham a great central arsenal
—a measure which Sir Frederick had himself advocated for
I years, but which was disregarded till the noble lord took
the matter up.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, THURSDAY Emma.

There can be no doubt that a recent interview
between Lord Cowley and M. Dronyn de Lhuys
resulted in an agreement between France and Eng-
land (with which Russia seems to have concurred)
to treat the Greek revolution as a matter not calling
for any interference at present on the part of the
three protecting powers. The word has gone forth
to the government journals to make as light as
possible of the affair, and it is quite amusing to
see how jauntily they speak of it—as nothing more
than a change of dynasty—" nothing more !" The
orders fur the departure of the Toulon fleet have
been "suspended," but the " preparations" for the
eventual expedition go on. Thus is reconciled the
conflicting statements of the Patric and Pays last
night. The latter journal, however, pursuant to
the usual custom, does not pay its readers the com-
pliment of explaining the error into which it was
betrayed, and leaves them under the impression
(contrary to the emphatic and almost indignant de-
nial of the Constitationnel this morning) that Admi-
ral Genouilly is going out in all haste. The Opinion
Nationale, by the way, still thinks that the rumour
of France and England having determined not to
reinforce their Hellenic naval stations requires con-
firmation, in presence of the news that both Austria
and Italy are sending ships to the Piraeus.

Bonnets will be still worn high in the front, but much
less exaggerated. Flowers are not much worn, the prin-
cipal ornaments being feathers for dress bonnets, or a
simple trimming of ribbon or lace.
It is rather early yet to speak of evening coiffure. We
must not, however, forget to mention the flower of the
bigooia, which is coming much into favour, and which
may be formed into very supple and graceful wreaths, both
for the hair and dress.

An assertion of the Gazette de France that the

on November 15, and the inference is that Fiance,
having an understanding with Russia, encourages
the candidature of Prince de Leuchtenberg for the
vacant throne of Greece.

There is a mystification about the great bakers
debate in the Council of State, which I may be
excused for not being able to fathom, since even
the France confesses that it has been misinformed
on the subject. Its present amended information
is far, indeed, from clear. It says that a decision
has been come to of a nature to " combine the
advantages of commercial liberty with the guaran-
tees of a regulated trade." That is an announcement
quite worthy of the journal of "hesitation"—a
name given to the organ which has undertaken to
reconcile the Pope and Italy.
The ex-Queen of Naples, who, it was lately said,
had beeu reported by Mgr. Grassellini as not in a
state to leave her German convent till the spring,
passed through Marseilles yesterday with a nume-
rous suite, and embarked on the Spanish royal
steamer Lepanto for Rome. The wife of Francis
11. is travelling under the name of Madame de
Vytlembech.
At the Bourse the Rente, after fluctuating
between 71fr. 10c. and 70fr. 60c., closed heavily at
the lower price, with a fall of sc. both for cash
and account. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. The Orleans
Railway fell 7fr. 50c. ; end Southern rose flfr. 25c.
These were the only material changes.

At eleven o'clock this morning, King Victor
Emmanuel left the palace on a magnificent white
Arabian charger, followed by the Prince of Carig
nano the Duke of Aorta, Ccuut Pettiti, Minister
atWar, General de Sounaz, commander of the
troops, and a numerous staff, in which were to be
seen many veterans covered with the decorations
they bad won in eight or ten battles, and
a crowd of young aides belonging to the most
celebrated families in Italy. Eight regiments of
infantry, two of cavalry, two battalions of Ber-
liaglien, and twelve iems of artillery were reviewed
in the Piazza d'Arme, and the appearance they pre-
sented was extremely imposing. If these men were
a fair specimen of the 280,000 now forming the
Italian army—which next ppring will consist of
325,000—it will deserve to be regarded as one of
the finest armies in the world.

The Corriere dale Marche of Ancona publishes a
letter addressed by M. Wallaire, the Emperor Napoleon's
steward of the private domains lately purchased by
bis Majesty in the vicinity of Civitanuova, to the
syndic of that place, in which he informs that
functionary that the Emperor has been pleased to
authorise the establishment of an infant school in bis
villa called Poggio Imperiale, for the benefit of the chil-
dren of the neighbouring districts too far removed from
Civitannova to be able to derive any advantage from the
schools of that place. Children of both sexes between the
ages of five and nine are to be admitted, and to receive a
dish of good soup daily between school hours. Another
infant school for children between the ages of four and
seven is to be established in one of the buildings pertaining
to his Majesty's palace at Civitannova.

It is still said that Signor La Farina will go to
Greece, but nothing has yet been settled on the
point.. The day for reopening parliament, and the
steps to be taken regarding Greece, were mule-
consideration at the council of ministers this morn-
ing ; but, as usual, the only decision come to was
that nothing should be decided on. We are to wait
for despatches from Paris. This habitual procras-
tination adds greatly to Rattazzi's unpopularity.
In the meantime the opposition is preparing for
the struggle in parliament; but it is neither well
organised nor unanimous ; and if it does not give
the victory to the Ministry, it may, at least, give it
some excuse for dissolving the Chamber. The
minister himself is trying, in an underhand way, to
revive the question of the capital ; looking for-
ward to such dissensions during its discussion
as may justify a dissolution. Thu question
was first raised by those French journals
which are favourable to a reaction, or those which
are connected with the ministerial party, and poe-
sees Rattazzi's confidence. Neapolitans who are not
used to these intrigues, and others influenced by
interested motives, are preparing to sustain the
idea put forward by France, that Naples should be
selected. This, as I have already remarked, would
imply a renunciation of Rome, without mending
matters at present. What Italy wants is an Italian,
and not a hole-in-the-corner-miniatry, such as we
have now.
Always the same story about Garibaldi. Many
find reason for hoping the best, from his not be-
coming worse. Medical men are still divided in
their opinion. Whenever they have spoken confi-
dentially during the last fortnight they have de-
scribed his case as desperate : now it is said 'ay some
of them that he may probably recover. God
grant it !

Advises from Oporto of tho 26th announce that
Prince Humbert of Piedmont had left that city for
Lisbon by land, the weather being boisterous and
the sea exceedingly rough. His royal highness, during
his stay at Oporto, was received with great respect by the
people. All the principal authorities of the city paid him
a visit, and different deputations presented addresses of
congratulation. The prince twice attended mass in the
Chapel Charles Albert, and visited the house in which his
grandfather died.
A Paris letter says :—" The season at the Italian
Opera does not promise to be • brilliant one. The fact is the
Italian supply of singers by no means meets the de-
mand. The few favourites of the public, therefore,
very naturally sell their talent at • price which
makes it difficult for managers to find • margin for
profit. This year the manager of the Calzado, it is under-
stood, offered Mario 12,000 fr. a month, instead of 15,003 fr.
Mario very naturally refused, as, I presume, he could get
his price elsewhere. Tamberlik can only sing a few nights,
at a very high figure. The prime donne, Pence and Freeze-
lini, are the chief attractions amongst the lady singers.
By the way, Frezzolini has been singing the Lucia, as re-
gards art, taste, expression, and school, in a manner which
no living artist could approach. She does wonders, with a
voice severely tried."
The Volk Zcitung of Berlin states that quarrels
for political motives are becoming frequent in that city. On
Saturday last not fewer than three duels took place there,
between three artillery officers on one aide, and as many
students on the other. The immediate cause of those
meetings was a dii.cussion relative to the late voted of the
chambers. Two of the officers were badly wounded, and the
hurt of one of them, from a hall in the stomach, is consi-
dered mortal. One of the students was bit in the right arm.
The old shareholders of the Liverpool Trades-
men's Loan Company have lately bad a hard measure of
the law administered to them. The company was unlimited
up to 1856, after which it became limited, and then bank-
rupt through the defalcations of the secretary. The limited
shareholders have been obliged to pay up all the claims
against them, and the unlimited, who held shares even six
years back, have been ordered to pay a call of 4/. • share
to make up deficiencies. This decision was given by the
Commissioner cf Bankruptcy, but the shareholders are
going to appeal against it.
Stn E. B. LTITON ON THE GROWTH OF
AMERIC.A. —Considering that men now living have seen
its birth, who of the old world can wonder at the pride
with which its citizens regard it? What other state in
history ever rose, within the period measured by the life of
a single man, into so great a power amongst the nations?
On equal term, it has met the mightiest monarchies ; no
slow growth of progressive ages, it came into the world
like America herself, a discovery which altered our know-
ledge of the globe, and dated the birth of • new destiny in
the chronicle of the human race. Blind indeed the states-
man who imagines its future darkened by the calamities it
now undergoes. Divide the vast area of the land as fate
may decide, be there in republican America as many inde-
pendent sovereign states as in monarchical Europe, still the
future of America, from the date of that disruption. must
be as potent on the world as has been the past of Europe,
whether diamptured by the fall of Rome or by the death of
Charlemagoe. Enough of pride for me, as an Englishman,
to know that whatever state in that large section of the
globe may best represent the dignity and program of human
thought, shall have had its fathers in Englishmen, and
shall utter its edicts in the English tongue. I ! • preju-
dice against Americans as Americans!--enough answer to
that charge for me and my. countrymen, that fathers have
no natural prejudice woad their children E. B.
