BOLOGNA, Bert. 24.
The farther I Proceed with my journey through
Centred Italy are more I sequin a certainty that it
iliPOP*l.o.4e to bring back its populations
sackr the yoke of their former rulers. If this fact
be elear eisoogh is the Ituchiss which I have just
ositi,d, it shines like sualight in this second capital
of tae Bonita States. You are swan that Bologna
is the capital of a most important province, embrac-
ing a population of tBO,OOO ..is. The city Well is
ishrshsted by :3,000 people, who are perhaps the
Severed sad most eserptic population of the
Beniagen Tarry are still the tram descendants
of those Guelphe of the Lombard Leases
who, led by Filippo Ups& of Brescia, roared
the Ghibelline boot at Fenalto in 120. Priestly
miegurorrassent sad Australia &missteps have it:
creased the hatred of the Bolognese against the
tem-
pxai sovereignty of the Pape to such an extent that
were its motormen tab* urged upon them by force of
arms, a bloody straggle most Mar. This is not only
a Land felt by oori ciao of Manes, but it is a wart
of universal arenas., the remit of inexpressible
saferiage., sad of hrag-felt injustice and c.oelty.
Prom the ced strong-built palem of the nobleman

who wee disposed to incur his Irodesseen's wrath by
Shim ofßnatiag, and the government was obliged to
have recourse to an humble chaplain of the town

thundeoholts, consented to officiate on such a critical
socasoon. tin returaisg home the poor chapters
found on his desk a deem of interdiction, and be is

legally perform his meted ministry any more. Both
the government sod the Assembly decided to endure
this set of open rebellion with patios's, and they
have contissed to be patient in spite of tido engage-
lees pr.% ovationsof t he clergy. This painful occurrence

Ind scarcely bees forgotten by the Bolognese when
the permission to perform a funeral mass in honour
of the Venetian patriot Ml2lll was asked of the
wortay Morignore. All the town of Piedmont,
Lombardy, and the Dunbar bad determined to show
this token of veneration teethe sacred memory of the
Dtc'a•oe of nine. and Magna could not be thiret
to juts them. la spite, bowever,of all reenmensans,
the Cardnal obeunately refused to grant Gni per-
mission, raying in answer to the government• that
►e did sot know where Manila had died, or to what
rennin be belonged. The funeral osnineay
could not, therefore, be performed ; for even thorn
chaplain had no authority to enter the church. Us
fee shows plainly scough that the:priests are or.
solved to meddle in the actual state of public again;
and I should sot wonder if some day or
other some foolish attempt to disturb the public
peon of then provinces should be made by them.
Althuudh public opinion is so much against the.
tb.y an bolder than ever, and do not disguise their
belief that in a short time the Papal authority will
b. re-established hen by foreign arms. I have beta
told that a rich nobleman of the Marches, who pro-,
liably did not share in this confidence, baying
to Koss to draws large sum of money In had in tin
Bank of Santo Spirit*, Cardinal Autonelli sum-
moned him to his presence, and told him
that the money was quits safe where it was,
for .n a few weeks the government of his
Holiness would be restored in the Logsdon.

NNW YORK, Brer. 20.
The San Juan difficulty seems to be considered by
the authorities at Washington sufficiently formidable
to require the presence or our commander-in-chieL
Oencral Scott, on the spot; and the aged and now
infirm veteran we. accordingly sant thither post

little stroke for popularity, which can always be
had amongst the asisiset cleans of the community
by saythieg widish kr a " smart" and at the same
time a detarmiasii look. It is votively unjustifiable,
in view of the arrangements concluded between
the two goverameata when Mr. Marcy was Foreign
Bowittery, by which it wee expressly stipulated that
pending the negotiations neither party should take
bodily possession of the island. This is the weak
point is the American position in the matter. Of
the goodness of our claim to the island there doss
not seem to be much doubt. When the north-

western boundary was settled, " the channel" was
somewhat loosely laid down as the boandsay of the
British possessions in and bordering on Van-
mover's Island. It now turns oat, what the seen-
mir &WITS did not appear to hare known, that this.

whirs matter is not worth sixty rounds of 'amnia-
ties. Thee only possible objection there seems to hi

ormago the anserapaloas mid worthless pack of
ample, 6a who regrown the Wr atington govern-
ment on the shares of the Pacific in sets of aggression
of still greater gravity. However, a war between
the two countries, or even the imminent risk of a
mar, is mach too serious a thing to be incurred as
long Is there is the least doubt about your having
the right on your side. It is far better to endure a
little temporary danger of aggression than plunge iota
hostilities is defence of your rendering of a clans
in an agreement, particularly when the subject of
the dispute is not worth 1,0001. There is nothing
of which lam more thoroughly satisfied than that
there is no way so certain for that Britain to main-
tain solid and oatiafiwtory relations with this country,
and to obtain guarantees against future annoyance,
than s rigid respect for abstract morality, and an
abstimmes from everything which looks like bully-
iag,or a thein to pick a quarrel. The momentary
neat may possibly be s good dare of crowing and
jubilation on the part of the politieians and" rowdies ;"
bat the fellows are as tickle as the wind, and
as little to be relied on. There is an lot-

woes clam in Anterios of honest, upright men,
who love justice better than territory, and
who never maks their 'Okla heard in politics except
la great crises, bat always exercise at such times an
overwhelming intimate ; and there is nobody in
London who appreciate* an honest, straightforward,
and piece-loving course on the part of Great Britain
more than this portion of the American people, and
they may always be relied on to sustain her in it.
And in spite of the daily assertions to the contrary
aside English journals, this class is yearly X-
eroxing in aesthete and influence. There could not
be a better proof of it than the enormous impetus
given to the anti-slavery cause within the last few
years. This indicates in a remarkable degree the
extent to which an idea, a principle, is honoured
throughout thecountry, even when its triumph repre-
sents no material gain whatever. We are still suffering
i• reputation abroad firma the fact that we are repair
seated in our intercourse with foreign nations by the
rabble which the Mexican war unhappily raised to
Use topmost please in the democratic party; but that
party is now in the last stage of dissolution. There
is already little left of it but the dregs, and it is
um than probable that the descent of Mr.
Boehm= from the Presidential chair will bring on
its final disappearance from the scene. The depar.

tare of General Scott for the "seat of war" is
bringing down a good deal of ridicule on the admi-

wistrstiOn. People are afraid that you in Europe
will make merry over the peremptory despatch of
the commander-in-chief to preside in person

over the conduct of • quarrel at present carried on
by a corporal's guard.
Oar one, our only magazine " is again in
danger. We have been for many years dying
for • magazine, and have been making divers
unsuccessful attempts to have one " of a high order,"
that would nest your Blackwood or Fraser. Oar
last attempt was Putnam's Maya:use, which, after
a brilliant career of a few years, was at last driven
lab that last haven of all crazy literary craft—
" bret-clam wood engravings." It failed to find
refuge even here, however, and died a natural death
is 1837. Immediately after some enterprising indi-
viduals in Boston stepped into the breach and set on
foot the Atlantic Monthly Maga:ine, which was to
be kept up to the highest point of excellence by con-
tributions from both sides of the Atlantic. The
British quota, however, was not sent in very long,
sad it has owed a very remarkable success almost
entirely to native pens. No magazine of similar stand-
iag and pretensions has in this country ever obtaioed
so large • circulation, and remained so long in a de-
cidedly prosperous condition. The articles were
rarely either so elaborate or so profound, or even so
varied in their interest, as those of its English con-
temporaries, as that ripe and careful cultivation, of
which good magazine literature is the fruit, is by no
means so general here as with you, bat they were
incomparably better than any similar remelt which
has yet made its appearance on this side of the
Atlantic, sod has done • great deal both for
American literary taate and reputation. It also, lam
sorry to say, seems to be in danger. The publishers,
I the well-known house of Phillips and Samson, of
Boston, last week suspended payment, owing to the
I death of the two leading members of the Hem, and
I the magazine. though per se, • decided success even
in a commercial point of view, can hardly separate its
fate entirely from that of the rest of the concern.
