of peace.. It is said thatitlie cession of Lombardy

are:talk made similarly- aver to the Archduke
MaxiMillian, son-in-law .to the King a the

; chimera.

• - The Bombay Mail,--some of the intelligence
by which appeared in a portion of our impression
of yesterday,---has brought, upon the whome,..satis-
factory news. The only rebels left are those few
bands who are making nyedatory excursions in

We. are to expect, it seems; some startling: an-
.nouncement from Diarritzi.concerning-the
cation of the Italian queStion—one, it is said, that
will exert no slight financial influence iriaiondiin,
as well, as in Paris.
If the intelligence we give elsewlmre from
Pembroke be correct—and we believe there- can
be no doubt about it—there is quite a squadron
of men-of-war now building there, incltding a
three-decker of 121 gam, and two 91 Ant.• ships,
beside* three first-class. frigates of 51 guns, and
five smaller vessels. These, we understand,. are
some of the results. of Sir John Pakinghon's
exertions at the Admitalty..

most exhaustive and imperial objects, comprising,
everything that wealth, civilization, and religion.
can achieve,---scarcely one of which the wisest
of mankind, or the most powerful of nations,
have been, able to bring to perfection ; but the
conjunction of which has been for ever- beyond
the mast adventurous skill of statesmanship, and
even the wildest dreams of optimism,---it perhaps
becomes us to take some knowledge of the miracu-
lous agency by which the great transformation
is to be effected.

We oan scarcely be wrong here. This, if any-
thing, is that call of wisdom to which all men
should come and listen. Have we not found the
GAMALIEL of this degenerate age, at whose feet
it behoves all classes of thinkers and administra-
tors—the Politician and the Churchman, States-
man and Priest, alike—to sit with something of
humility and a teachable spirit ? How is it that
the world does not for a moment stay its course,
that it may turn aside into these bye-paths where
provincial genius sits in the scat of counsel ?
