    > be made dependent on the civil power , our institutions \ ¦ oiikl be vitiated from the root ; we should have iin . ap- earance of liberty , but substantially , a tremendous ad- . illustrative despotism . It * the administration of tho i Loroan States lias its ineom'emences , it is because the ; Lvil power is ia the hands of ecclesiastics ; and , -if with s tut' clergy were made dependent on the civil power , e should arrive at analogous , and perhaps still moxe grnicious results . But I think tlie -vicaineruinento would roducc the contrary eiloet , would increase in the clergy ie spirit of caste , would detach them still more from vil society . I speak , in the purely social point of view , lie organization of the Catholic clergy has the defect r . liayi ' few ties Avith civil society . Separated from Ls family , not permitted to aspire to create himself Dot her , the priest concentrates his affections on Ms aste . But if he has property , that constitutes a . tie to Lvil society and neutralizes the tendency to separation . " n support . of these views , lie "pointed to the extremely Itramoutine opinions held by the Roman Catholic clergy f France and Belgium . In pursuing his vindication * of the policy of the Goernmeiit last Saturday , Count Cavour defended the emoval of the maritime arsenal from Genoa to Spezzia , ad said it Svas his " profound conviction that the forti- ication at the latter place is a matter of absolute and irgent necessity . " This caused , great sensatio . i in the . ) liamber . The Count then related an anecdote :- ^ 1 Yesterday ( said Cavour ) , as I was leaving this House , rcaoccupied . with many thouglits , I accidentally met an jtigineer—our former colleague ( Signor Soinmeiller ) , whom the electors of Savoy have forgotten , notwitli- standing that he ever showed himself a steady partisan if liberal opinions , and who lias taken advantage of that oblivion to devote all his time and energy to a work which will honour not only himself bat his ungrateful country .. ( Murmurs and ser } satio ? i on the Jtiylit . ) I questioned him as to what he had been doing during the many months wo had not met . He replied , with a smile ( well for him that he did not hear the speech of D eputy Gasaretto ) , 'I have just returned from Brussels , where I have completed the arrangements for the iaa chinery for the tniforo ( the Mont Cenis tunnel ) , aud with improvements that will save expense while increasing its efficacy . Instead of . l 3 500 , 000 f ., only l , OOQ , 0 * 30 f . will be necessary . ' He then told me . that he had found himself in contact with many scientific men , French and others , and that all approved his project as well founded . " The King of Naples is fortifying his coasts and making various defensive preparations . The army is being enlarged , and orders (_ it is said ) have been given for building sixteen new frigates . Tlie King has consented to the arbitration of Prussia in the Cayliari dispute . The Pope and the King of Naples have met at Porto d'Anzio , and have greeted with grea t cordiality . Queen Marisi Christina ( of Spain ) was at Porto d'Anzio during the time her brother , the Neap olitan monarch , was also there ; but , though they h live not seen each other for some years , she went awuy -without an interview , to the surprise of everybody . The Pope has now returned to Homo . AUSTRIA . . Sir John Young , the English Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands , has informed the Austrian Go vernment that it is at liberty to lay down an electric telegraph , from liagusa to Corfu or Xante . An ofliciul telegram has boon received at Vienna from London acting whether tho Austrian Government proposed lay down a submarino telegraph between lviigusa . and Alexandria , or between Corfu aud Alexandria . The Lord Bishop of lie rgamo , in Lombardy , has given great offence to the inhabitants by his intolerance towards ProteatantR . He has warned the clergy of his dioceaoagainst " desecrating" thecemeteries by interring - 'in thorn , impenitent ltoinnn Catholics and l'rotestants . If the remains of a heretic Hhould by accident be buried in ono of tho cemeteries , it is to be cast forth from the consecrated earth . Pater Bergstaller , a member of the Jesuit body at Feldkirch , in Vorarlborg , lias told the students of the . Gymnasium , from tho pulpit , that the celebrated Humboldt is an impious pormui , who , if lie does not shortly repent , will bo lost to all eternity . A . Commission of tho Council of tho Empire is now employed in revising tho drafts of tlio constitution of tho different provinces and of the municipal laws .

"A now impulse , " says a letter in tho Nortl , " itt also shortly to be given to our Statistical Department .

    A i Mi rcc em rui to of bei ad wl ha coi Ti op c al ; be h ; i fir si : A central committee on statistics is to be formed at the Ministry of the Interior . This committee , which will receive the statistical reports from every portion of the empire , will be divided into two sections— -statistics and rural economy- The latter will be exclusively devoted to the study of questions concerning the rural economy of the empire , and to the examination of information bearing upon this chief branch of our social wealth . In addition to the members of the committee , all of whom are to receive good salaries , all the Ministers have to designate some of their employes , who maybe consulted relative to the 1 / ibours of the committee . These Ministerial employes will have to express an opinion whenever they are consulted on . subjects . relating tc labours . connected with tb-eir departments . '' It is also said that the reports of the Ministers , after having been examined by the Emperor , * will henceforth be handed over to a Council of Ministers . His Majesty finds himself oppressed by work , and needs the assistance he will now obtain .
