With Parliament prorogued for an indefinite time, ‘ § Queen in Scotland snd the aristocracy away, ® bave little to record of the sayings and doings ot London. There is, however, ia the political world a small cloud atising, which may eventually give us something to talk about. The state of parties in England has for some time been mysterious and ur- certain. Lord Palmerston carried out the last ses” sion in a manner pecalierly Lis own, only ackaow- ledging that he had a party, when it was necessary to appeal to it to save him from defeat and dis grace. The conservatives, on the other hand, have been divided under meny leaders, and Mr. Disraell, their ostensible chief, has never been able to de- pend upon anything like nnavimous support. A natural consequence to this state of things bas teen the springing up of numerous would-be leaders, who have oly served to make “ confusion worse confounded.” Now, as Lord Palmerstn carried on the basiness of the country (ia a way) without acknowledging his obli- gations to his party, and the conservatives confessed themselves disunited, it hos become the fashiog here to talk of the total annihilation of political party, There is no such sunihilation. Party feeling and party strife are as stron, ever. Our Premier, al- though professing uot to acknowledge party ties, de- pends entirely apon the whigs, asa party, for enp- ert in both Houses; and secretly ‘powertul efforts are being made to convcentrote the various shades of political opinions uader his “liveral” banner. The conservative party may not be at present so united, but it is not e: t, ond on g:eat occasions will, if [ mistake not, be fonnd ighting under Disraeli for want of a heiter man. The subject uppermost in men’s minds jast now is the proposed new translation of the Bible. For some time the question of the propriety of obtaining a vew, free and oficial transution of the Holy Scriptures was confined to a small circle of religious peop Tt is now cast forth for pablis discussion in the newspapers and prirate circles, and will doubtless prodace the usnal fruits of a re- ligious controversy. Dr. Cu nming, a man of world- wide fame, bas entered a very sensible protest against tonching the preeent version. His reasons may be short!y snmmed up by saying that he con- tends that this is not the time when the attempt night be enfely made; and in this he finds many to agree with bim. The division, so long deplored, which is known to exist in our “ Established” Choreb--the difficulty of finding forty or fifty men conpetent to the wok, of thoronghly sound views, unbiassed by sectarianisam—the danger at all times found in meddling with anything the balk of the people bave been long accustomed to look upon as sacred—serve to render men cautions how they give their sanction to this movement; and al- thoogh ttle time has yet elapsed since the question was seriously mooted, discussion is now getting earnest, and thove opposed to the car. rying out of the project are becoming anxious and nervous. J have, conceiving the sabject to be one of immenee importance, and one that should not be lightly handled, taken some pains to inquire, from genti men of various persuasions, their wishes as to the re-translation, and, strange to svy, Baptists, In- dependents, Wesleyans and moderate churchmen have all answered me in one universal exclamation of dissent, with the accompanying wish, that we should “let well alone.” However, I do not give you this lar expression of opinion as the one which should represent the wishes of the tntelieo tual and deep thinking men of this country. There is a strong desire among men of the highest attein- ments that the errors known to exist in the present version of the Bible should be corrected, and that the world should be furnished with such a transla- tion as could be produced by the united talents of men of learning of the present advanced age, bat (theee buts are sometimes troublesome) then te of such men as Canning, and the conviction fastens itvel! upon their minds that there is troth in tis man's declaration, that this is not the time to in the work, bat that the at- tempt would the church's enemies rather than gratify its friends. The religious movement I have here alluded to has not escaped the keen eyes of the pal » for Jost in the nick of time | find the “American Dible Union” advertiving a “Revised English Versivn of the Holy Scriptures.” We are watching with much interest the you are making in regard to the forthcoming elec- tion of Presivent. When I say with much interest, 1 mean with more interest than that which nsuall attaches iwelfto such an event. The recent on scarce settled cisputes with your country, and the pasibility and probability that npon this elec- ti n hangs the que of war or peace between us, have naturaily drawn the English mind to your in- tersal State, and caused us to look with not only in terest but somewhat nateral anxiety upon your pro ceedings in connection with ir choice of a Presi- cent.

It is whisperet that Napoleon is sore about the tone taken by Evgland respecting Spain, and that the observations made by Lord Palmereton in Parliameut in referenve to his Maechy being too wise to split upon his uncle's rock, were not taken in good part. Be this us it may, I believe there is no doubt of the tact [stat that there is, to speaic in the mildest terms, a sligh ‘divergence’ of feeiing at the present moment. Rass.a ets 0 Opportumty eseave of fanning the wost in- adigpificant spark, and letters which I have seen from some of Lord Granville’s pay at St. Peters borg, declare that in a thousand instances, each palpable to the seoses individually, but cotlecrively very signvificant, the preference shone to #rance cver Evgland is apparent. Everywhere it is the came. M. de Thouveuil at Constantinople is fast puting the laureis Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has so haughtily worm, and all men agree with the Sut tun, his court, and the people, that the English are not whet they wee. At Naples, though the dyaas.1» interest in the Murat party is well known, yet eves here, the King is heard to declare that if the tou! fiend bad taken Lord Paulimerston iustead of his brother, Slr Wiltiom Temple, his party would be ou velvet. And read the following from even that cou- teniptible litle Duchy of Parma:— The Dushess Regent of Parma the other day honored the eetalsltshment of the Freres Ienorantias with her ore sence, on the occasion of th» distrivutioa of prizes 10 the pupils.

The piece was enthusiastically applauted. The Imperial Court is to spend some time at Biarritz, where the Emperor is very happy and very tranquil.

Omne ignotum pro mag nifico stat, isa saying as old as the hills; and it is no reflection on the Emperor to say that, great as he is in Paris, where the sunshine of his presence ts a diurnal radiation, he is greater still at the foot of the Pyrenees, where the sheen of his face is felt bat ence a year.

Oh, what magic charm encircles success! Bat let us be just: the Emperorand Empross have gained — opinions far and wide, not only from their iberality--that in a prince who has all the taxation of his empire at his command, is not an uumixed virtue—but from the benevolence of disposition. the kindness of speech, and readiness to practical exer- tion, which have pervaded their whole conduct with too much consistency to be any other than the na tural efflux of their character, ever since they held the highest positions in the empize.

The Emperor bas raised up a deat and dumb parliamentary spirit, and so will O'Donnell; he has decemated the National Guard, and O'Donnell can sbolish it; be has eap- presred the organs of public opinion, and why not O'Donnell? It may be seen, however, in the end, that Spain is not France, and that which the great centralization of the latter country renders easy to whomeoever can lay his hands on the capital may prove a very different thing in a country so differ. ently constituted as Spain, where Madrid is not the head and front of everything. . ness d’Aygtesvires; the Mayor of Bayonne, &e.

It ssay amuse some of your fair readers to know something of the nature of those fours, as the French term them, which served to wile away the celebrated wife of the Emmperor while sojourning at Plembieres. One was the plasing a jewel of value under a cup of porcelain, which was inverted on a saucer. Each Jady was to take it in her hand aud throw it to the geutieman the farthest from her, and if he caught it without tue cup separating from the saucer and the je vel escaping, the prize belonged to ber. The guiluutry of the Pe agra is that the lady is never ui fault, though she lose the jewelled guerdon ; it is the gentleman who fails to catch tae tiymg porcelain, under the prescribed conditions, who has robbed her of her reward, and not her own maladroitness. Simple us this litte tour de force seems, it serves to create an immense deal of fun. Some- times £0 unskiifully would it be despatched towards the intended cavalier that it divided, as it were spontaneously, into three parts, and the cup, the saucer and the jewel were all io the air at once, to the infinite dismay of the leman on whom the destiny of the lady depended; sometimes. the lady pertocmed her part to the life, bat the tremoling tingers of the cavalier spoilt all, and sometimes the grasp he gave them was so forcible and stringent that the fragile porcelain gave way under the em- brace, whcn other vessels were called for, and the game was alive again. The Emperor took his ful share in the pastime and incurred also his full share of reproaches if he failed to execute his expected devour, but his Majesty plays his Fac ripen d well on such occasions, and seldom failed in respoad- ig, it the lady cast her missile with anything like exactitude. Anotier tour was the familiar one of passing the kercbies, and the Emperor and his lords and prin- cerses played it with as much gusto as though they were realiy not ‘children ofa larger growth.” THE NEW NARITIME CODE, French and English Reviews of Marcy's Despaich. ‘The Paris Siecle, of the 27tn of August, comments upon the rejection by our goverament of the proposition to abolish privateering.
