      MISCEIXANEOUS . The Court . —The Queen and tlxe Royal family arrived at Osbome on Thursday . teHBONEMEm of Bishops Dr . Tait was euthtoned as Bishop of London in St . Paul ' s Cafhedral on Thursday moruiag . —TJie Ven . Archdeacon Bland was enthroned as a proxy for the new Bishop of Durham last Wednesday , the Bishop not being able to attend . It was stated in Durham on . the same day that the Bishop himself would "be enthroned on Friday ( yesterday . )

      upon Mr . Philip James Bailey , the author of " F « stus , " of 100 ? . per annum , in consideration , of his great talents as a poet . Mr . Skbjeant Kinglake ha-ving vacated the Kecordership of Exeter , upon his promotion to Bristol , Mr . J . S . Stock , Recorder of Winchester , is transferred to Exeter ; and Mr . G . A . Arney , of the Western Circuit , is appointed Recorder of Winchester . Mddle . Rachel . — -The last mail from Egypt brings accounts of Mddle . Rachel . The state of her health remains nearly the same . No sensible improvement has yet taken place , but the disease appears to have been checked . Litkra-ry Recreations at Manchester . —Mr . Thackeray commences liis course of lectures on the ' Four Georges' at the Free Trade-hall , Manchester , next Wednesday , the 10 th inst . Judge Halliburton , author of Sam Stick , has engaged to deliver an address on the l € th inst- to the members of the Manchester Athenamm . This address is to be followed ; by subsequent lectures during the winter from Lord Lyttleton , Sir Robert Peel , and Lord Stanley ; The Ecclesiastical Courts . —Sir Fitzroy Kelly has addressed to Lord Brougham a letter pointing out the necessity for a speedy reform , of tkese courts , and indicating the kind of alterations proposed to be effected by the Bill , which was the joint production of himself and . of Sir Richard Bethell , and which lie . " hopes and believes'" will be reintroduced next session .

      A Want of the Age . —Our main want is protection . Not against competitive industry , but agaiast confidential clerks , garotters , housebreakers , &c . This Jbeing the case , we shall go out of our way for once and advertize a meritorious invention by Mr . Morse , a mechanic . It is called The Patent Door Fastener , an < l is Intended to do for a door that which cannot ba done , apparently , by locks or bolts—secure it from , the sort of ' pressure from without' which is a part of the burglar ' s craft . It is neat and portable , and may be so applied as to baffle the strength and cunning of the most experienced wearer of a crape mask . Sir Alexander Duff Gordon , according to the Globe , is likely to be appointed , to the vacant Conunissionership of Inland Revenue .

      The BuatrKGHAM Cattle and Poultry Show . — The first sign of approaching Christmas may be noted in . the opening of this midland exhibition of prize beasts and birds , suggestive of a hundred exquisite delicacies for the holiday dinner-table- To read of these fatted calves , bullocks , sheep , pigs ,. fowls , &c , might almost make an epicure out of a devotee from La Trappe , and must send those who are already epicures into a state of flavprous beatification . We cannot , of course ,

      particularize the individual triumphs , of the show , but we can state that the exhibition of live stock is reported to be of first-rate quality 5 that the pigs , in particular , ai * e illustrious ; and that the rapturous r . critic of the Times " especially admired the black pigs . "— -The Rutland Agricultural Show , in connexion with which a number of prize animals were exhibited , took place on Wednesday , when Mr . Augustus Stafford , MiP ., presided at the usual dinner .

      Gaeotte Kobbebt . — -A woman is trow under remand at tha Southwark police-office , on the charge of being concerned , with some men not in custody , in a garotte robbery committed about niitlnight in London-street , Dockhead . ; ' . ' Me . Cobdes on Foreign- Affairs . —In reply to a letter from some local committee at Bradford , calling hia attention to the non-execution of the Treaty of Paris , Mr . Cobden , after observing that he does not see how he can act in the matter , writes : " I do not presume to know the precise objects of the ' Bradford Committee for Investigating State Affairs , ' but if its attention be

      chiefly directed to our foreign relations , I vould venture to suggest that , instead of wasting its efforts in the vain attempt to unravel the thread bf our foreign policy , it would more wisely apply itself to the task of laying down an intelligible and honest principle on which , the intercourse between this country and other nations ought to tie carried on . There seems to me to be signs of a growing conviction that some restraint on our diplomacy is necessary ' , and I do not think it would be difficult to find a common ground on which a large amount of argument for a reform of our foreign policy might be secured among men of every shade of opinion on domestic politics . "

      Colney Hatch Asylum :. —A meeting of the magistracy of Middlesex was held on Thursday at Clerkenwell , for the transaction of the general business of the county . After the minutes had been , read , the Court at once proceeded to take into consideration a special and a supplemental report from the Visiting Committee of the Lunatic Asylum at Colney Hatch , relative to the alleged dangerous condition of some parts of that building ; , owing to subsidences and to deviations from ttie original specifications .

The decision is not yet given .

Parliament will meet for the despatch of biiHiness on the 8 rd of next February .

      THE CONGRESS . The period for the assembling of the Congress ia not yet fixed . It is thought , however , that the end of the month is likely to be the time at which the meeting will take place . The cause of the delay is to be found in the fact that the Porte has not yet decided on the representative it will appoint . " A statement of the Comtitutionnel" Bays the Globe , " as to there being no preliminary accord between all the great Powers , is not , of course , untrue , as the 1 bad faith of Russia admits of no doubt ns to her difference of opinion with tho Western Powers ; but the inference drawn from these remarks by some of our Paris contemporaries , to the effect that England , France , and Austria are not substantially agreed as to the execution of the treaty , is certainly giving too official a character to the statements of a paper so often repudiated by the French Ministry , "

      MURMURS IN EUROPE . The Swiss SonderbuiKl was the " prelude ' to tho Europ-ean movement of . '¦ IS IS . Peiderick-William is raising in NeufcMteLa new agitation for the . repeal-. of '; the Swiss Union , and there are other prognostics of a more goneTai movement in Europe . ' 'Switzerland shows no signs of submitting to tlio Prussian Soiiderbund ; it holds th 0 leading members of the conspiracy in prison , and all ihe ' . ' representations' of Austria , 33 avam , and 33 aden ,.. tho ' mediation' of France , and the ' advice' of England , do not seem to have softened the resolution of the Pederal

      Groreinment . Every now and then we licar of an insurrectionary ... . movement in . some . ' part of Italy . The Belgian people are not very , well content to put up with the foreign interferences that restrain their ' Government . in . the . complete vindication of religious freedom . The Holstciners are as little contented with Austria or Prussia , who are now standing up for the local rights of the Duchy , as they are with Denmark , who toolc away their local rights . In France we see it reported that

      members of the old Republican party are coming forward to take some part in the elections , —to nominate their own candidates . The difficulty is , to find men who will at once satisfy the working classes , yet consent to take the oath of allegiance to the Emperor . De Mau / eville , Duf ^ tri-, and Mortimer TernaiUx ^ have been mentioned , —men who would do credit to any assembly , but scarcely to be considered the adequate representatives of a republican

      party . The particular difficulty .-will strike Englishmen as being of an unpractical kind . In Trance there is a Government de facto ; it has lasted sufficiently long to "be admitted as a political fact in France . An -oath , vrc are told l ) y those that use oaths , is to bo accepted aniino imponentis —\ n the spirit ot him that imposes it . Certainly there arc no adherents of tho present French Government

      . _ x » _ ¦ _ 11 who can consider an oath to bo more thnn an obligation for tlie time being . The oathot allegiance to tho Emperor would lose its force as soon as ' the party' ceased to be Emperor ; and there is little political virtue m being trammeled by restraints lilco oiie-sidca oaths , imposed by those who regard'them nor . For there is no rule more sound in law , that thero cannot be a bond binding only 0110

      sidp . > . For tlio present , however , tlio eilbrl oi t » o Kopublican party may bo taken less as \ m ' portant on its own account , than oh a Mg 11 that tho political discontent in Franco- is arriving- at a point where the people doriirc to givo it action . In many respects tho Government is contemptible * ¦ enough .
