Correspondence qr the -New York Herald
LONDON, Sept is, 1851.
SUMMARY CT THE NEws.-The summary Of
events since my last. include some important
and some apparently unimportant matters. Here
it is:
The Italian congress of Potentates, with the
Emperor of Austria at their head is assembling
at Verona. The King Of Narles has arrived,
to meet the Emperor after his military tour.
The Pope is represented by his confident, Prince
Attici the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke
Of Modeua, and the Duke Of Parma, have arrived
The Kings of Wurtemberg and Of Bavaria are
hourly expected There is great hostility In this
congress against the King of Sardinia he is
guilty of libera'ity.
The news of the discovery of gold in Australia
Is confirmed, and the gold region there e said to
exceed even California in extent and riches. 1t
has caused more of panic than JOY in the CON-
mercial world.
The great sham plot in France, got up against
all democracy, and the expulsion of foreigners,
especially liberals is kept up. The President
has, by u proclamation, placed one of the depart
meats in state of siege and under martial law
Arrests without stint, en- masse, and the muzzling
OF the liberal journals, are the order of the day
in that pseudonimous republic. Despotism al
ready reigns, only requiring its real name, which
can easily be given by law, in country where
law is subordinate to despotism.
Great excitement prevails in Europe in conse.
quence of the Cuban affair 1t will probably
lead to the restoration Of Narvaez as prime min
lister in Spain. He is a man Of bold measures
and desperate deeds. He is on his way TO Madrid
1t is believed that Kossuih has been liberated
and is on board the u. s. steam friga.e Missis-
sipp by this time, on his way to Southampton.
Great preparations IRE making there to receive
him and the American frigate honorably.
The Queen of England is making tour in
the country, and is expected to visit Manchester
and Liverpool Great preparations are made
for her reception in those cities. and ut Man
chester some, Of the ultra protestant words in
q God save the Queen" have been altered, and
Others substituted, to suit the Catholic popula-
ton there.
The sale of souls by wholessle-parish full
at ii ne-stil continues in England, agencies
are appointed to drive bargains and as many
as three hundred parishes of the souls of men,
are advertised for sale in the religious periodical
publications Of the Queens church.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has given
great offence to q large body Of the clergy, by
denying the exclusive necessity Of ordination by
The regular bishop Of the Queens church. and
hereby virtually overth~owing the sacerdota
doctrine of the apostolical succession of the
bishops. A great Indignation meeting ofal the
'lergy is in consequence proposed to be held at
Derby, at which il is contemplated to denounce
he oonduot of the archbishop, and to call upon
lin to resign mis- high office The statutory
,verseer of some Professionals In the district of
Canterbury, Mr.. Summer by name, is in conse-
Iuence In bad fix
The accounts Of the general extension of the
potato rot are confirmed, as also OF the grape
ot in France and Italy; in England the same
ot, or rather blight, prevails among the grape
vines.
Diplomatic negotiations are on foot among
the great European powers, and it is believed
.hat for the present, France, England and Spain
will unite to address a strong joint rer resenia-
ion to the government Of the United States, in
respect to the late expeditions Of citizens of the
United States against the Island of Cuba In
he event that these representations should pro-
luce no result, the de ermnation Is to resort to
more effective and overt deeds, and an alliance
offensive and defensive against the United States,
will it is confidently affirmed, be formed be-
veen these powers. These rumors and re-
ports, however, are chiefly Spanish. The first
part ia undoubtedly true, that a diplomatic rep
.esentaton will be made 20 the u. s. govern
nent; but that England will proceed to any
,tep beyond that, is not probable. The gov
here and everybody, except the Span
ards, are convinced of the good faith of the
American government, and that il never has
been an abettor of the ill-adyised expeditions
which have resulted so deplorably Still, it
nust not be dissembled that strong party, both
n Europe and England, viz all the high aristo-
ratio party, affect to be highly indignant that
he American government has not, or will not
lse the power, effectively and with strong hnnd
o put down and punish the adventure RS among
he people.
The Hon. A. Lawrence with his family is
low in Ireland, to which beautiful island tours
# exploration have become very fashionable of
ate. II is probable that he will suddenly cut
hort his tour and return to London, in conse-
Iuence Of the exciting news from Cuba requiring
lis presence, Ia the diplomatic furry which it
las everywhere occasioned.
