THE DAY'S NEWS.

It will be observed that, according to the latest
intelligence, the Cabinet has determined that
Lord Palmerston shall not attend the approach-
ing Congress as the Plenipotentiary of England,
and that no Plenipotentiary shall be despatched
to Paris. In this event Lord Cowley, it is ex-
pected, will attend the meetings of Congress as a
representative of this country, merely out of
courtesy to the other Powers, so that, sub-
stantially, Italian affairs will be left to be
settled by those Powers which may be said to
be more immediately concerned in those ques-
tions. It appears that this conclusion has
been arrived at by the Cabinet after a full
discussion of the subject. This is scarcely to be
regretted, considering that no one desirous. of
preserving the peace of Europe could wish to see
the noble Premier take a direct part in the proceed-
ings of the Congress, the peaceful conclusion of
which must so largely depend upon the exercise
of greater forbearance and calmness of delibera-
tion than Lord Palmerston is known to possess ;
while again it could not be expected that Lord
J. Russell would secure the confidence of any one,
after his notorious failure as our Plenipotentiary at
Vienna. Perhaps the best selection that the pre-
sent Ministry could have made to maintain the
honour and prestige of England at Paris, would
have been a nobleman who has on many
occasions shown himself so skilful and fortunate
_
as a diplomatist,--and that nobleman is Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe, who, for so long a period,
under peculiar and difficult circumstances, pre-
served for England that influence in Europe
which is so essential to our supremacy, amidst a
Court singularly full of intrigue and political
chicanery, while our Ambassador to the Sultan.
But, under the circumstances, it is better, per-
haps, in his absence, that the present represent a-
tive of the Crown in Paris should have committed
to his trust this question of Italian independence,
so beset as it is with very Intricate complications.

It is stated in circles the most likely to be
informed upon such topics, that the expedition
prepared by our allies across the Channel will be
one of the most complete and carefully arranged
which has ever left the shores of France. We
trust, therefore, that the alacrity and goodwill
with which this expedition has been formed may
indeed be an earnest of a more friendly and
abiding feeling towards us springing up amongst
our Gallican neighbours.
In Morocco, the Crescent and the Cross have,
once again in the history of the world, come into
conflict, and the enthusiasm of each has been
stimulated by a reference to historical associations.
Either army has been inspired by priestly appeals
to religious prejudices ; hence the war, like all
religious ones, is likely to be sanguinary and
protracted.
By the recent arrival from Americti, we learn
that con4iderable excitement has been aroused since
the recent attempt at Harper's Ferry, in conse-
quence of an expected incursion upon Virginia.
It is apprehended that the intention of the band,
who have formed themselves into a corps to
avenge the failure of the late insurrection headed
by Brown, is to seize upon some of the most re-
spectable and wealthy inhabitants as hostages
against the execution of the law upon this mis-
guided, and, at present, doomed convict. It
appears to be the intention of this armed and
violent interference to arrest Brown's execution,
as its authors threaten that if the sentence

of the law should be carried into effect upon him,
a like retaliation shall be inflicted upon such per-
sons of consequence as they may have seized. It
appears, therefore, that the question of slavery
which has been long looked forward to as likely
to divide the United States, may probably effect
this result much sooner than was anticipated—as
eventually it doubtless will do.

It is a painful piece of intelligence which we
announced yesterday,—the loss of another steamer
belonging to this port,—the Indian, one of the

finest of a line of steamers which weekly sail from
hence to North America. But whilst we, with
deep regret, recal this melancholy catastrophe,
yet still from the accounts which we have re-
ceived, it is gratifying to learn that it has not
been attended with that immense loss of life
. which accompanied the disastrous and mournful
wreck of the Royal Charter.
The monthly meeting of the Chamber of Cora-
merce was held yesterday, the chair being occu-
pied by Mr. Charles Robertson, the president. ,
The proceedings were interesting. Several matters
of great local importance were brought under the
notice of the meeting; among which may be
mentioned the new scale of town dues, and the
proposal for removing 'the Post-office to Dale-
street. . .
_._Frora_the_rep.ort, which we-publish .in.another
column, of the proceedings at the meeting of the
Water Committee, held yesterday, it will be seen
that the intimation we gave on Saturday as to
the formation of a Volunteer Corps from among
the men employed by the Health and the Water
Committees, was well founded, and by no means
premature. At the Water Committee's meeting,
yesterday, a joint report from Mr. Newlands, the

borough engineer, and Mr. Duncan, the water
engineer, was read. From this-document, which
will be read with much interest, it appears that
four companies of one hundred men each' can be
easily formed of the men referred to, that number
having already sent in their .names as being.
desirous fUr enrolment. The cost for the equip-
ment of these companies is estimated at about
£1,400. The report states that the men are
already familiar with all the operations required
by military, engineer, and sapper and miner
corps ; and the men pledge themselves that their
being enrolled as volunteers, and attending to
the necessary drills, will not in any way interfere
with the discharge of their ordinary duties.

IF we are indeed to interfere in the coming Con-
gress, we are not sure whether the unsystematic
mode at present talked of as likely, is not the
most suitable in which we can do so. That our
part in its deliberations should be restricted to
the mere presence of the ordinary channel of
communication between the two Governments,
who shall on this occasion be the medium of con-
veying the sentiments of England 'and the advice
of her Ministers, is, we think agreeable to the
nature of a Congress where England cannot
make anything a cause of war, and where, if she
is to do anything decisive it can only be at French
dictation.

At the coming Congress England can• only
act the part of a bystander whose position
is a guarantee of impartiality; and who
being unable or unwilling to enforce his
recommendations on any one of the parties im-
mediately concerned, has for, that reason, claims
on the favourable attention of all. England does
not go into this Congress in the position of one
whose consent is considered necessary to the rati-
fication of treaties, or to the maintenance of peace.
Her character will be merely that of an expe-
rienced adviser whose words have a moral weight,
but independent of whose will, grave events have
been brought about in the first instance, and can
be as independently brought to a settlement in
the last. The more informally, therefore, she is
represented at the Congress where she an only
advise, the more agreeable to the character in
which she offers advice, and to that undecided
state of English opinion which has become
almost a national habit on this subject.

It seems an obvious view to take, that if we
have held aloof from a war, we should also hold
aloof from the settlement, unless as mediators
on the solicitation of those who were parties to
it. We could scarcely have claimed a right to
interfere in a Congress ; we must take care when
we are invited to do so, that we suffer no loss of
dignity in being _thought to accept a favour or a
condescension. It is certainly matter of question,
what character we should be voluntarily taking
upon ourselves, in formally assisting to establish
that which in spite of us—we might say in de-
fiance of us—was unsettled. We know not what
jurists would say, but we are almost inclined to
think, that as we played a chief part in the set-
tlement of Europe after the great war, no
nation, without very peculiar and special
justification, should have ventured to disturb
it without our countenance and consent. There
were, doubtless, very weighty reasons for
wishing some conditions of that settlement
altered. at the eve of the last Italian campaign.
But the question is, was there a justification for
France—in no sense more a party to the settle-
ment than ourselves—wilfully and independently
originating a policy which was a conscious
violation of treaties to which other and powerful
nations were distinctly and specially pledged ?
Louts NAPOLEON took upon himself to violate
the settlement of 1815 by his single authority
and will, not on the plea that Austria was acting
inconsistently with its arrangements, but that it
was an unfavourable one to one of the parties
on whom it was imposed ; that it did not agree
with his notion of " his epoch ;" that it was
inconsistent with an " idea" elaborated by
that supersensual mind of France of which
he claimed to be the mouthpiece. But even if
the original cause of war had been a distinct com-
plaint against Austria of treaty-violation, none
of the parties had a right to take independent
action for redress, without a positive appeal to
its fellows for co-operation on that ground, and
after its positive refusal. We need not take pains
at this close of 1859 to specify the actual condi-
tions of that history which commenced on the
first day of its first month. It is not necessary
to mention that France engaged consciously
and intentionally in an Austrian war, for the
purpose of violently altering the arrangement
of 1815, and wresting from Austria those
provinces which the negotiators of that period,
whether rightly or wrongly, gave her, and which
she had as much right to in 1859, as she had
then.

Whatever, therefore, are the motives of Louts
NAPOLEON, or whatever are the consequences
likely to flow from the war which he provoked,
there can be no mistake that he took a wholly
independent part, and treated as a matter of in-
• difference the settlement of Europe, and the
parties who had concocted it. There is as little
doubt that he will aim at filling a• similarly wilful
and autocratic part at the Congress ; and as holding
at as little account the wishes and remonstrances
of England. What sentiments are to prevail in
the formation of the new settlement, it would
puzzle any spectator—it would puzzle the
vauntedly astute mind of the French Emperor
himself to predict. It is clear that events—let us

perious mind. We are; not wishful to risk a cause of
war on this question; it would_ be useless and
for all parties in the present disPut4
to do so. But unless we are prepared t°
anticipate such eventuality, how can we
have any pretension to dictate our opinions t°
one who last year despised opinion and dive'
garded remonstrance ? •In short, to use a familiar
phrase, we can only " play second fiddle" in this
dispute. It is better for us to accept this position
at once ; professing nothing more than to give
that advice which experience has a claim to do.
But let us not employ a formal Plenipotentiary'
or send our Prime Minister, to play so humble
and subordinate a tune.

AMONG the most useful and important educational
movements of the day is the establishment of
Ragged Schools and Reformatories for juvenile
criminals. Notwithstanding that of late years
considerable attention has been paid to these
subjects, especially to the question_ of popular
instruction and elementary knowledge and
that large grants of money have been voted
for such purposes, there remains still much to be
done. Our population is becoming more and were
every year a town one. From the great increase
in manufacturing employment there is congre'
gated together not only a numerous but also 6
shifting and migratory class. The habits which
such an unsettled life induce, are far from desir
able, and provoke tendencies to vagrancy and
crime. Dr. HUME, in the evidence which be
gave before the Committee of the House of
Lords (collected from Mr. H. MANN'S statistics)'
states that 25 per cent. of our urb°
population is growing up in absolute
heathenism. Lord SHAFTESBURY has declared
that in the Metropolis there are ten thousand
children of each sex, who lie about the streets all
night afraid to return to the home from which
they have been sent forth in the morning to Coale
back in the evening only- if successful in obtain'
ing a certain amount of money by mendicancy 01
theft. It was not inaptly that Lord STANLEY'
in a speech recently delivered at Manchester,
described that class, thus, as it were, educated to
crime and vagrancy, as- being as much a caste 55l
generis as the aristocracy itself.
It appears that in Manchester, out of fourteen
hundred and nine children, *" there have bee'
" produced five hundred and thirty-three steadl
" working lads, men and women, maintaining
"themselves in situations by their own labour.
This has been the result in that city of the

41 the speech to•which we have referred, so justly
abserved, that such an outlay in prospect should
tiot operate upon negligent and worthless parents
as a premium to their unnatural indifference.
The danger would be that such ,n opportunity of

Parents for their children, might hold out a temp-
tation to forego duties belonging to that relation-

and such excellent institutions as that to which
We now refer. It is certainly absolutely ne-
cessary that the parents of juvenile criminals
should be obliged to contribute according to

penses of inculcating those habits of industry and

and judiciously administered; and thus the object

from the possibility, for the time at least, of
inflicting injury and loss upon society.

[Although not agreeing entirely with the follow-

41raire his exordium,—though between that and
the

ed,

and his conclusions were too often and too
straightly:,, arrived at, by the convenient method

Which would entirely alter the argument. Yet,
We might accord our approval of the spirit with

"4e of ; if he will adopt this course with more
IL'ilsistency and more conscience than he has
'ex hitherto given to, he may at last find out the
-Suresth way of gaining a favourable and patient
earing. If he be6ins his crusade by too freely
Vllaouncing his ultimate design to be the extinc-
°4 of a class—no matter what class—of the
,
li?Pulation of the country, and turning into com-
ttete disorder existing relations in the State,
° throws an obstacle in his way which a
tt'eater pretension to logic, and a more solid
Wer of argument than his will find it hopeless

the
overwhelming argument of force, to inaugurate

Tllt whose emnity is guaranteed at the outset.
Vllere are some who might be disposed to go with
11 part of the way, but are shocked out of

cult to conceive the probability of there being
averers who, judging of the general character

hs'his random utterances, scarcely know what he

Let Mr. BRIGHT, therefore, go on and learn a
neW lesson of moderation. Let him not forget that

It was curious to note the self-consciousness of
this restraint, not unmixed with a peevish resent-
ment on some imaginary tribunal, for imposing so
much decency upon him. Yes, Mr. BRIGHT
dreads—not for himself, not for his country, but
for the " upper classes,"—the day when a " ruder
voice" than his own shall demand concession, and
a " ruder hand " than his own shall be laid on the
citadel of their power. In what unimagined de-
mocratic depths we are to look for this ruder
voice, it is difficult-to anticipate. The arguments
of revolution arc pretty well exhausted. But
there is certainly one fear • and that is, lest there
should ever be a time of distress and discontent
in this country, when the accidents of the moment
shall put into the hands of a BRIGHT, power
equal to his intentions,—an influence against all
that is truest in the political and social fabric,
adequate to the envy and hatred he bears it.

PARIS, Dec. 5.

The Patrie of this evening says we are assured
that most of the European Powers have given in
their adhesion to the Congress.

The Juge d'lnstruction has decided that there
is no ground for further proceedings in the affair
of M. Girardin's pamphlet, entitled " Napoleon

The Pays states that England-has consented to
take part in the Congress. The Pays also
believes itself in a position to state that the
difficulties between Piedmont and Tuscany, on
the subject of the regency of M. Buoncompagni,
are not yet removed. It is certain that England
has agreed to the proposal that the Congress shall
be held in Paris.

The Einivers, of yesterday, contends that eccle-
