That is the problem !which the " Wiest Bra of ilas
" Church " has to solve. The Heide the Ch
does not much help him towards its solution. He
prays for armed redress, piously urging the inter- '
vention of Reach bayonet, to destroy the newly-
establishtd order and good rgovernment of the
Romagoa, and re-impair the cruel yoke of Rome.
The ''• Eldest Son " sees clearly the mischief and folly
of granting the HOLT Fannies prayer." If that sub-
" mission were obtained Itsy the aid of foreign troops,
" it would necessitate rather koroontinued military
" occupation of the Laratioas. Such an occupation
" would awaken the hatreds and the animosities of a
" great portion of the Italian people, se well as the
" jealousy of the great powers ; it would, in fact.
" perpetuate a state of irritation, of uneasiness, and
"of fear." This would obviously be no settlement
whatever. It world be the old story over again- a
permanent dagger on one side, a permanent scaffold
on the other. This " settlement" has made Italy the
theatre of violence, revolution, and blood—bas ban a
source of perpetual disturbance to Europe for fifty
years past. It cannot last for ever. " What then is to be
door?" The EXPEIOII, after a eseroas examination
of the difficulties and dangers which beset the
various solutions presented, replies, that "it is
" most in accordance with the true interest, of
the Holy Bee to make a sacrifice of the revolted
" pavviness"

This decision appears simple and easy enough to
ea. But we must remember that • devoted EMPEROR,
may find great difficulties in scourge of action which
appears to us perfectly plain. The EMPBIOR knows
that his decision is • " painful" one, and he
communicates it to the Hots FATHER with " sincere
regret." The fact is, it required some average to take
this just and seseiblu view of the am, and the
Enresoa has been a long time in making up his
mind. However arrived at, the policy now adopted
and announced in the letter to the HOLY PATHS.* is
• liberal one, and aa such will be heartily wel-
comed here. The EMPEROR clearly recognises the
right of the people to enjoy wolf-government
as superior to the hereditary claims of the
Church. He has all possible respect and affec-
tion for the HOLT FATHER, but be has also some
regard for the pesos of Europe and the welfare of
Italy. Her • Catholic Emperor, but in spite of his
devotes to the Holy Bee, he undertook the ltaliaa
eampe:gli, and feels that he is in a manner respoa-
' sible for it. results. The best of the results, in oar
view, is the decisive course which the EMPEROR has
at but adopted with regard to the temporal power
of the POPE. Alternately flattered and menaced by
the partisans of the Pore at home and abroad, he has
at length frankly sacrificed the arrogant pretensions
of the Church to the inexorable logic of evente—in
other words, to the claims of international justice. He
has lost something, no doubt—the support of the
priests, the sympathy of the Ultramontane press—
perhaps, also, the benediction of the HOLY FATHER.
But he has gained something too—the lasting pa.
titude of the Italian States, the sympathy and admi-
ration not only of his own subjects, but of every
free people. In throwing over the priests in
favour of the people, he has, indeed, simply
abandoned what an eminent Catholic calls a " prin.
" ciple et decay " for one of life and program.
We shall not like this new policy of the Eitnizos
en the Italian question any the lees because it happens
to be our own—the policy which the English Go-
vernment, the English press, and the English people
have universally adopted and firmly maintained;
On the contrary, such an agreement on the most
momentous question of foreign policy must tend to
bring the governments and people of the two coun-
tries more closely together. If the alliance has been
weakened during the horrors of the war and the
perplexities of the peace, this proposed settlement
must help to strengthen it. Such a result is to be
hailed with the sincerest satisfaction. Independent
alliance with Preece—always our true interest when
it can be attained by honourable means—is now
offered in connexion with the noble and liberal policy
we have long advocated.

Bombay on the 14th nit :

joined is a letter which we have received from a friend on the
frontier :

We (Bombay Standard) have ourselves received
later news by a telegram dispatched to as from
Lucknow on the 14th inst. It confirms the capture
of the Begum's late paramour, Mummo Khao, stabs
that Khan Sahadoor Khan, Beni Madho, hie two
eons, and • brother, are also in oar hands, with all
the principal leaders, and that in the whole two
thousand prisoners are at our disposal. It is doubt-
less the "general surrender" which the correspond-
ent of the Owls Gazette mentions above as being
" expected shortly." The Begum herself nee es-
caped, bat in all probability will now submit. Beni
Madho would seem to be a prisoner, not killed.
Jung Bahadoor has at last done us good service.
The telegram itself is as follows:
We have received a letter from the frontier with the fol-
lowing most important news:—Khan Balladeer Khan,
Mumaloo Khan, Bed Madho, two eons and brother, toge-
ther with ell the principal lenders, and two thousand (2,000)
primer% en In the hands of the British. The Begem has
maps& from Bootwal. The Nania death Is doubtful. Jung
Bahadoor hes returned to the capital, Katmandu.

CHINA.

Hong Kong advioss are to Nov. 30.

From the north there is no political news of im-
portance except the publication of the United States
treaty by his Excellency John E. Ward, American
Minister Plenipotentiary. It contains, however, little
advantage. Tonnage does are reduced from 6 mace to
4 mace per ton, which is to be paid according to re-
gister, although the wording of the clause which
provides for it is contradictory. The ports of Sera-
tow and Taiwan ate to be open after December
31. The former has been virtually so for years.
The new tariff of duties will not come into effect
until the British and French difficulties hare been
arranged.

HifiExcellency Mr. Ward is now at Macao.

efforts to be ready for warlike operations in spring,

The import market during the fortnight, both at

demand for cotton goods very limited. Stooks of
most articles are small, and prime generally are sus-
tained.
