The danger over, Rome's brave citizens exhibit their proper colors; mem who might but « fow days wince, when doubt and danger prevailed, been inadvort entiy mistaken for cowards, now that the peril is over prove to be the boldest of the brave.

What pledge more reassuring? Let none wonder, therefore, that order is restored, that peace prevails, or that Rome is itself once more—proud, arrogant, priestly, mean and safe. 4 ‘The French troops are already and very thoroughly diagusted with their mission; {¢ has been no party of pleasure to thom; relying om the native administration for all necessaries, during the first few days, the “sup. porters’ were almost starved; and even now that they forage for themselves, matters are not much better. ‘The prospect of remaining in Rome through the winter is far from glorifying to them, There can be no doubt that Garibaldi had no expecta- tion of the attack; aud when one remembers the short distance of Monte Rotondo from Rome, tt will be under- ‘stood how many real or reliable friends the republican chief had in thecity, The intention, it seems, was that the action should be fought out between the Pontifical troops and the Garibaldians, the French standing by in case of need. The fact that within an hour after the commencement of the action the Frenchmen were vigorously thrown in pretty plainly shows how different would have been the result without French interven- tion, The Papal Zouaves—let all credit be given them—at- tacked grandly, with impetuosity, in detached compa- nies, There was no formation of line. With a few skir- mishers in front, they advanced directly on Garibaldi’s centre by companies in échelon. The enemy’s line was not a continuous one, but composed of detached parts, the matin strength of the position lying in left, where a body of about fifteen hundred defended Mentana. People here assert that Garibaldi escaped from the field, very early in the action. To refute such a state- ig useless, To tell a liar he lies is paying him a com- pliment. Even the Romans are becoming satisfied of the genu- ineness of the entente between the French and Italian governments, Little do they guess the real position of each party, Ithink. The closer the alliance the more certain 13 Rome to be ceded. Let tho future answer whether French troops do or do not stop here until spring, until the French nation has its hands so busy with Prussia that it will be passively careleeg of what becomes of the Holy Father; then see whether the Italian, in exchange for Rome and unity, do not remain neutral in the coming fray, In all thesetroubies the Pope has proved himself a grand old man, a brave, worthy descendant of old Roman Senators, refusing to leave their seats when informed of its capture by the Gauls. He has shown himseli a consistent and persistent believer in the justice of his cause; trusting to right more than to the French, he has refused every offer of places of refuge, and even refused to leave the city. However mistaken his views, the old man has his traditions, hag his inherited rights; to give thom up would be base; to remain in possession as he does, ‘calm and collected, and charitable as ever, is noble. Thave it on excellent, undoubted authority, that the first letter from Napoleon to the Pope, announcing bis intent to intervens, was au autograph one, declaring the writer's intentions to send succor to the Holy Fathor if he was attacked by the Italian government. I know positively that the Pope expressed great disgust at Na- poleon’s procrastination, and positively refused to see the French Ambassador, referring him to Cardinal Anto- nell. He (the Cardinal) assured tho Ambassador he would believe in the advent of the French troops ‘-when he saw them,” It seems bah Pope and Cardinal are betier pleased now, for this afternoon they were both at the gates witnessing the re-entry of Zouaves, Autib»’s legion and the French troops.

Genzano, a lovely Bea but dirty village, lying on the borders of a charm- ing lake, was in a state of intense confusion at the just then received news of the evacuation of Velletri by the Garibaldians and its consequent occupation by the Pontifical troops.

Much excitement prevailed in Vel- letri. and I very soon learned that the feeling for Gari- baldi, italy and republicanism was so general there necd be no fear, out of hearing of the Pope's morcenarics, from making kpown my intentions and asking for guid- ance. Needlessly; nota soul could form an opinion of the General's whereabouts, yet the night previous the ow n was occupied by three thousand of his men, From all accounts, it seemed, they had behaved very ‘well while in it—so well, indeed, that the Town Council Voted the money to defray their expenses. Of the ac- cumulated, bomen sprig C= and of the foulness of the streets, the stench of the houses, the stagnant pools in yards and squares, the sickly, fotid appearance of this Village I canoot speak too strongly ; neither need I urge the point again.

There were no Garibaidians “purs et sim- ples ;’’ no red-shirted, ill-armed crowd there. Men there were though, in plenty, at least five hundred or six hundred lounging idly about the streots, and waiting for something to turn up.

We of course ought not to expect of the Brooklyn parson that elevation and purity of spirit, that sinking of person- ality, that forgetfulness of ali little human vanities and pride that we find in the founder of the religion he professes; but then, looking at things in that light, we ought to expect him to keep out of sight with his prayers, and not send them out through the booksellers to “sound a trampet,”” and that ne “may bave glory before men.’” Christ’s prayer given in the Sermon on the Mount is sublimely simple, It expresses the thoughts and hopes that are common to man and every state of society almost Beecher was em- barrassed «with a@ greater range of topics; hence we need not wonder at his want of simplicity. Besides, those few thoughts could never have been swollen to fill @ volume of three hundred pages, not even by the “forty parson power’ of verbiage peculiar to Plymouth pulpit, But, then, this idea that Beecher had to pray on a great range of topics—and had to make a volume—seems to imply that the collection of prayers ig put forth rather to glorify Beecher than in a sincere spirit of worship toward God. No one could accuse of such hypocrisy a man of Beecher’s humble and obscure piety, But he did have more thoughts crowding on his mind, ft is evident, than such as find a place in the divine formula, Is not this a greater, more learned, bustling aad wonderful ago, with its telegraphs and other marvellous inventions? Beecher had to thank God for the daily eventsin which the Plymouth cot- gregation had an interest, He had to pray that the war might not come to an end till it had abolished slavery, and bad to put many other of his personal views on politics, &c., in the form of appeals to the Throne of Grace. The founder of the Christian religion purposely left all these things out. His kingdom was not this rid, and Boecher’s is, Hence there are more good guments and sound doctrine and first rate polilicai articles in one of Beecher's prayers than in all that Christ ever said while he was rth. We suppose the words we have given above, and which form part of the Sermon on the Mount, as they were the utterances of the founder of Christianity, must be accepted as indicating the true Christian idea on the subject they deal with, a8 pointing at least th t spirit and purpose with which men should pray, ged by their rule it 1s nothing less than profanity for a man to print his prayers, to parade in the cook shops his titions to the All ity, to make a vanity and a dispisy of what should —. all other haman expressions be sacredly free from the intrusion of a spirit of self-glorifi- cation. Here we see, from cover to cover, in the very Presenco of the book even, that the parson is making much of himself in the pretence of prostration before the Supreme le 18 sbowing with what grace he can cast down, how nimbly he be up again, and with what. t ease assume.somé now attitude, It seems that the impropriety of this publica- tion was perceived in the parson’s circle; hence there are two introductions, ome by ‘J.

Mr. George P, Phileas, one of our most devoted biblio- philes, has had reprinted in the very best Bradstreet ‘press style, two hundred, and sixty-one copies of “The Bhagvat-Geota, or Dialogues of Kreeshbna and Arjoon,’’ translated from the Sanscri¢ by Charles Wilkins. This translation was endorsed in 1784 by the famous Warren Hastings, who pronounced the ‘‘Geeta’’ a performance of great originality; of a sudlimity of conception, reason- ing and diction almost unequalled, and a single excep- tion, among all the religions of, mankind, of theology | accurately corresponding with that of the Christian dispensation, and most powerfully illustrating its funde- mental doctrines. Barth, an eminent continental re- viewer, cites the declaration of a learned English clergy- man, the Rey, D, Griffith, that many passages in this unique work of antiquity ‘have the euphony and phrase PI tics it 18 impossible to occasioned by the act divers oxpedients by which the Prefect of the Seine bas managed to anticipate, for years to come, the estimated surplus of the municipal income, The danger of those schomes for pushing on to an extravagant pitch the pub- lic works of Paris has been repeatedly pointed out, The jovernment seem at last to perceive that too much has done in this way; and a bill is likely to be pre- sented to the Legisiative body more in accordance with the existing laws as well as with prudence, With re- gard to the deficit of the Treasury the Minister is said to.coumt upon such resources to reduce it—as, for in- stance, the liqidation of the Army Dotation fund, re- sulting from the abolition of the system of substitution by the new law on the army, and which would leave that fund at the disposal of the Treasury. It is also said that some measure will be brought forward for the relief of those who have suffered by the failure in Mexico, and that om the payment of the premium called in financial language soulte, such as adopted by M. Fould in his conversion scheme a fow years ago, these Mexican bonds will beconverted, All these expedi- ents, however, will not suffice to reduce to fair pro- portions tho ’ floating debt, The Semaine Finan- ciir4 an authority on such subjects, ailirms that it is impossible that ‘the Great Book should not be reopened’’—that 1s, that a new loan should not be proposed. Itsays:—‘It is to be hoped, how- ever, that in this case M. Magne will not borrow more than is absolutely necessary, and that he ‘will not have recourse to operations of charlataury which, under pre- tence of fresh impulsion to be given to public works, is termed by chimerical peoplo ‘a peace loan’ M. Magne tmust prove himself to be a strict guardian of the public fortune; in fact, he must acquire a little of that ferocity which M. Thiers once reproached him for not having enough of.”” Since bread has grown dear the attention of the agricultural journals is particularty directed to the last harvest, the deficiency of whichis variously esti- mated. The Gazete des Campaqnes, for instancs, af- firms that for all the countries in the west of Eu- Tope it amounts to no more than five millions of hectolitres, This, however, is vory far under the mark; for’ by the most ‘trustworthy estimate ten millions will be required for France alone, In Algeria, moreover, the harvest has been almost null; in Spain hardly enough for ordinary consump- tion; and Portugal, it appears, is not much better off. A competent writer on this most important sub- ject (M. d’Aspremont) declares that there is no serious cause for alarm. France has experienced much worse years, and nobody died of starvation, In 1816 the defl- cit was about twenty millions of hectolitres; in 1846, sixteen millions; and the estimated amount this year ts, aa has been already said, ten millions, It must be borne in mind, too, that the commercial reforms passed since then groatiy facilitate the obtaining supplies; that steam navigation enables ships laden with grain to reach their destination on the day and nearly at the hour expected, ‘and that railways aliow of the conveyanec within a very short time of supplies from one point of the territory to the other. For tho prosent he affirms that the trades are sufficiently supplied to meet all requirements, and that cargoes are uninierruptedly coming into tue poris, Tn these circumstances it is ie that the two kilo- gramme loaf (2 lbs. 6 2-5ths oz.) will not be much more than one franc; and at the worst the prices of grain will certainly not rise to those of 1847, There is another motive against the discouragement which has been spreading 10 Paris in the fact that if the barvest is bad in France it bas beon good in most of the countries which habitually supply Western Europe, If on the Baltic, which so often exports great quantities of grain, the harvest is scaaty this year, and such as it is ‘wilt have to be sent to Finland and Sweden; and if the same be said of the Danubian provinces, the shores of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azo have large supplies ‘at the disposal of the West; and Turk: Egypt and Hungary will likewise furnish their contingents. Tiopes, too, are entertained of what the United States can do. M, d’Aspremont adds, after speaking of California and Australia:—But limiting ourselves to the countries which fora long time past ace much more than they consume, we may easily fill up the void in our aries, The dang:r is uot, then, for France, whico can when it pleases export grain every year; but for England, where the deficit is permanent. What woula the English do if they could not procure all the grain nocéssary for their subsistence? This is an abnormal situation which should make economists reflect, ‘The arrivals of corn at Marseilles are certainly consid- erabie, but it is almost the only port where there is mech Larthe df for the quantity it enters Havre is comparatively insignificant. In September the excess of imports over exports in this article was only 776,330 metrical quintals, and it was not more last month. The activity is great at Marseilles. Tho suspension of the extra tax on cercals imported in foreign ships has giv ‘wonderful impulse to the trade of that great city.

The fall and winter exhibition of the National Academy of Design is intended, unlike the spring exhibition of new works, to furnish the public with an opportunity of seeing such productions of our artists as might not be seen in their studios before called for by the purchasers, Thas, in addition to the old pictures on the walls of the Academy, the works that cannot conveniently be retain- ed for the spring exhibition will be temporarily exhi- Dited during the fall and wioter, Thus two works of Bieratadt, one of Gifford’s new pictures, and five by the late Mr. Cole, have this week been added to the collec- tion now open at the Academy. It is intended to add otber works of interest and value, so that the public may enjoy the variety which they have hitherto sought in the galleries of the picture dealers on Broadway, In the course of December three hundred additional works will be exhibited at the Academy by the Water Color Society. At the last annual meeting of the members of the Academy a committee of six of their number— William Hart, White, Ward, Baker, Leutze and Gray were appointed to ect as instructors in the antique school, which has its class meetings one morning and two nights of each week. These eminent artists, we understand, propose to organize a complete system of instruction, which shall embrace the mentary prin- ciples of design. The Brooklyn Academy of Design has made a similar step in the right direction by opening a school that bas its sessions every night in the week, under the direction of Messrs, Hart, Ritchie, Berger and Chappel. Two nights will be devoted to the “life,” two to ‘the draped figure,”’ and two to ‘‘the antique.’’ The course of lec- tures on art which were so well received last winter, will be continued. ‘Mr. Louis Lang, who, in co-operation with bis friends Mr. Kensett and Mr, Baker has organized the most com- plete sult of studios in the country, including a verita- ble gallery of art, is carrying out most successfully, as ‘we are happy to learn, his plan of not only interesting bat instructing our ladies in the principles and practice of art, His arrangements for this iaudable purpose are complete, His system is unique, and, must result in not only relieving the tedium of the life of our fashionable ladjes, by supplying them with the means of acquiring delightful accomplishment, but also, through their in- fluence, in educating and elevating the taste of tLe com- munity at large ‘ Mr. Gray, the Vice President of the National Academy, bas just completed one of his most successful portraits— the portrait of « lady—and is at work epon an enlarged and improved picture of his much praised ‘* Cleopatra,” whieh, by-the-by, was sold last week for a good round sum, We are glad that the unwearied labors of Mr. Gray im promoting the interests of the Academy—the absence of Mr. Greene, the Treasurer, in Europe having imposed additional duties upon him— do not entirely prevent him from handling the brash in his fine old classical style.

Mr. Dovisielli has lately arrived in this city from Rome, with an interesting collection of pictures, chiefly the works of modern Italian painters, and offering a variety of subjects, landscape and figures, genre and hie- torical, which are on private view at No. 20 Washington previous to a more public exhibition. ‘The plotare dealers’ winiows en Broadway begin to show a certain sympathy with the political excitements of the day, anda portrait from life of General Phil.
