peace of EAgland, or any inlraction OF the duties
which we owe 10 the nations eOn the continents.
Mr.. SUuAar w oRTLEy, Recorder of London, and
M p. for iBgteshire, msde inquiry on Tuesday
last Of the Secretary Of State forthe HomeD Depart
ment whe4her his attention hadtbeen called to the
number Of foreigners now in london, their charac-
ter and proceedings adding thathe Mr. W. had
in his possession evidenceofa widespread conspi-
racy in Europe, a branch Of which had been estab-
lished in this country, under the name of the Com
mittee Of Central Eurepean Democracy" whose
object was the subversion. Of the Governments Of
Central Europe. These Partiessrecommended, as
the aleans Of promoting this object, insurrections
against, and the determination Of, the existing
sovereigns Il had come to his knowledge, he said,
and he believed he had the best foundation for what
he stated that there were, at that oment going on
among foreigners residing in this country,in combs
nation with some Of the subjects Of her Majesty,
scheme for making some demonstration which
would beyery dangerous to the public tranquility.
Sir GReRGE GREY said, he wasnot aware of the
existence Of any such circumstances were allud-
ed to by Mr.. WoRrLEx, which rendered it neces-
sary for the Government to resort to any extraOr-
binary precautions that the civil and municipal
authorities possessed sufficient power to meet any
anticipated emergencies athome, and that Ministers
would take care no breach should be perpe trated
here in our relations to foreign countries. f the
honorable saember was in possession OF any or
cumstaaces which he considered likely to prove
dangerous 10 our domestic .or foreign peace with
which Ministers were not acquainted, at W as his
duty to place the Government in possession of
them-a much more likely course 10 oounteract
their mischieyous tendency than by thNs helling
their abettsrs that their plans we're known, Leading
them to adopt a more secret mode of carrying on
their mischievous machinatiOns.
The conversation then dropped. There is no
doubt that nany Of the revolutionsts ofcontnaenta
Europe are now in Loadon, and it is more than
probable that they have their plans and their plots.
Government, however, hasits eyes Upon them, and
it is very Improbable that they should intend any
demonstration In England where their number aud
power are inconsiderabe and where there existsrno
body Of materials upon which they can operate.
BY very well arranged plan the census of'the
population, &C. of Great Britain was taken by
returns made to the proper authorities on the LIST
instant-fhe sohoie busaaess being done IN that
single day.
The Archbishops and Bishops Of Eagland, with
the exception of four Of the latter, have ISSUED
weltimed address to the Clergy, setting forth the
necessity Of uniformity in their public teachings
and administrations, and representing the hetero-
doxy Of the Pnseyite opinion, that the Church Of
England is nothing more than reformed Church Of
Rome, and that all the forms and ceremonies of the
latter which were not done away with at the refor
nation are yet to be attendedt to not, according
to the views Of the officiating minister. On the
contrary, say the Hight reverend dgniaries of the
Church Of England, the sohole scheme of Catholic
rites and ceremonies was set aside at the reforms
ti00, and none other were reestablished, excepting
such clearly set forth in the ritual then agreed
upon, and, where difference Of opinion as to that
ritual exists the appeal is to be made to the Bishop
oc L. ccr RIB roSn
are not attached 70 this important manifesto are
those Of Hereford, Manchester, Exeter, and Bath
and Wells. The first two have not signed it, be-
cause their tolerant principles incline them 10 regard
all action in the mater as unnecessary. The
Bishop Of Exeter repudiates the document on ac-
count of his high tractarian or Puseyte tendencies,
and the Bishop Of Bath and Wells upon some
technical matter Of form. Had such a document
as this issued from the Bench Of Bishops few years
ago, we should probably have been spared the Pa
pal aggressions and the mischievous train of con!
sequences which they have induced.
The great Exhibition is the principal point of at
traction at present. and all its arrangements sue
cessfully and rapidly advancing. We have great
hopes that the United States will occupy very
prominent place in this cosmopolitan display Of
human skill and industry. Some difficulties and
misunderstanding have arisen among the Ameri-
can exhibiters respecting the exact meaning of the
appointments made by the Central Committee at
Washington. Mr.. SrANsBuRY has been placed
in an unpleasant position. and it is due to him
to state, that, so far as we are conversant with
the clrcumstances-and we believe we know them
all-he has conducted himself like an able, active,
and intelligent agent and with the department
OF gentleman. We trust that explanations,
which have been written for to Washington, will
remove all difficulty upon the point and place the
exhibitors at large in position TO recognise the
plainly declared intentions and wishes Of the Cen
tral Committee, which they are unanimously pre-
pared to do. In the mean time majority Of them
understand, and have acted under the impression
that Mr.. STANsBuRY's present duties ceased when
the goods were placed in the buildings and that At
that point Mr.. RIDDLE's duties commenced, al least
SO far as related TO their arrangement and display
Mr.. Riddle is now thus occupied, and the interests
Of the exhibitors and the credit Of the country, will
be efficiently cared for but il is very desirable that
il should be known as soon possible scho is to
be the Agent or Commissioner representing the en-
tire body Of the American exhibiters in all meet
ings of the foreign Commissioners, and in all inter-
course and business arrangements, &c. with the
British Executive Committee and the Royal Com
missoners. Mr.. STANsBuRY and his friends main
tain the opinion that he was appointed as agent for
general purposes, and that therefore he occupies
the first position, and is to remain here in that po-
