EUROPEAN AFFAIRS -THE EFFECTS OF A GEN
ERAL WAR Upon ENGLAND.


Diplomats have been busy with the map of Eu-
rope, during the last few weeks, and the arrival of
each steamer is looked for with the greatest anxiety
for avdnt oOuriers are dashing through France and
Italy, white-coated Austrians being reviewed,
and ominous wagon loads of lint concentrating
at convenient points Europe is in unmistakable
state of erment, the portents dark and fearful
and only relieved by the doubtful application of the
rule which applies to national well to private
quarrels, that where there many words there is
seldom any bloodshed. We have no prophetic Of
ce and do not pretend to read in the disturbances
of despots the Meme, Meme Iekel Upharsn, predicting
general overthrow of sovoreignties, and the uni
versal establishment of republican forms of govern
ment. Less sanguine than some of cotempora-
ries, we have less hope from the results of Eu-
ropean war, if it should occur. 1t is true that
Mazzini and Louis Napolean appear to be busy,
but the latter, if successful in his supposed pro-
jects, will not be likely to favor the schemes of
the former. We fancy that, as to the con-
sequences of war in Europe, the public attention
is turned towards the wrong place on the map. The
may be in Italy-a ground which Napoleon
has traditional reason for selectiDg but the effects
of the war will be less felt by the Italians than by
the English. In the latter nation, almost every cam
paign has been followed by political movement at
home, by which the arstocracy has lost and the
masses have gained power. The Peninsula and
Waterloo were followed by changes almost radical
in the government of England and the Crimea weed

THE MoRALIsr AND THE STATESMAN.

There are few men who can flourish as political
parsons Now and then, man of real genius can
bear up against the consequences of his idiosyncra
cies, and with his eloquence compensate for his fol
lies but the of the Atlantic are not more nll-
merous or mutable than the company of those who
pass through temporary martyrdom into oblivion.
We are reminded of this by seeing, in the Cincinnati
Gazette, long statement of the second disaster
which has happened to gentleman of the clerical
profession (of which profession we desire to speak
with respect,) who, two or three years ago, made
himself notorious in Washington by temporarily
scattering DID, respectable and once prosperous
Church, which did not relish hisabotionist notions
AT the North he was feted and feasted and finally a
rich, numerous and united Church in Cincinnati
gave him avery attering call and the poor crushed
and wounded martyr found consolation in a larger
salary and the admiration of his new parishioners;
here he should have been happy no chains clanlI-
ed unpleasantIy in his hearing he was at perfect
liberty to discourse of freedom to his hearts con-
tent but, alas that love of display, that unholy
thirst for popular notoriety which prompts all the
