To be sure, we are looking forwurd to the assembling of the. Senate. But that body of legislators has never been regarded as One of a very character; and, I doubt much :whether its reappearance' on the, scene at this unusual period of the year will avail to retort to us, any semblance'even of galoty. ,True, its deliberations are about to if 'Mit exactly "big with - the fate of Cato and of . 1lome," at least of vital import to the present a.spirations and future liberties of Abe French people. Bnt many persons shake their heads as they look, up towards the elevated regions , of, the Upper , Assemoly Of the French Legislature,' and • cry, indeed, with a smile, Monies parturient! But they do so with a shrug of Abe shoulders and a gesture which seems td indicate that they are only waiting for the'right moment, to complete the sentence by the addition of nes- , eitur rAlieubis nuts! And . in fact, though so many other people have left Paris within the last' few - days, I regret to say that the "wrong man" still favors us with his company. The ex-Minister of State, whose health was sup posed to be so broken dOwn by, his exer tions in the service of his Imperial. mas- , ter that he even, spoke of a "definitive re- tirenunt" from public life, has. "retired" no further than the Palace and pleasant ,gar dens of the Luxembourg, where he is now formally installed as President the Senate, and seems to tit 'watching, like a cat, beneath the shady groves of his new residence, ready to scotch t•ven the ridiculus nuts aforesaid, -should he see fit issue from amidst the adja cent curate chain; in a form likely to develop • itself into too large dimenSions:' 'word, M.

Rome in non itself, and a boastful effort to bold an ecumenical Council will have to give place to a vital strug gle for temporal power.' Events more rapidly, the pope is of a great age, andthere is great . disorganizatien amongst hisfiiends. It is.evert poissible that the Council may not be held at all. ' But if it be, those who have settled convictions on the points iii question will not be, likely to become unsettled, while ' the increasingly large number of those who, care for none of these things will not find their apathy,aroused or their indifference disturbed.

As. to Churches, it is not wtablishment or disestab listunent, endowment or ditiendOwinent, that can make or unmake a Church, but the ; mea sure of real truth which it contains, and its own fidelity to that truth. Dr. IPasey and the (Ecumenical Connell. (Front the Lundon Star, July 21.] The forthcoming (Ecumenical Council is very naturally making a considerabb3 stir in the'ect. elesiastical Dr. Cumming, as we all know, intends to take part in it if he can overcome the preliminary dilliculties---tirst, of getting in; and secondly, of speaking - inLatin after he has obtained admission. Dr. Pusey has taken a step, not so bold, perhaps no more effective, but one which will probably com mand considerale respect among the thought ful Roman Catholics. Re has written a book, full of recondite :,ecclesiastical lore, and too learned and technical for review, but of which the practical upshot is, that Dr. Posey really believes that there is yet a chance for a reunion between the, Roman Catholic Church and the Reformed Churches. _ hiraself "approXimatea so nearly to the Roman Catholic Church that-to-kis own mind the idea probably seems to be hardly vision ary. But we believe that Dr. Pusey is greatly in advance even of the great body of Churchmen in this country. — His simple diffi culty seems that of, MarioLatry—a however, which has not prevented Dr. , New man from-being constant to the Church to - which lie went over. Dr. Pusey seems to think, that lie sees his way to a general coin preht n.sion if only the Council will" explain away or remit to pious oblivion" •the dogma of the Iminaculatii-ConcePtion. Even if he obtained his , point we- are afraid he would be as far off the attainment of his object as ever he was. But he has not the slightest chance of obtain ing the simple object to which he has limited himself. lie might have had a chance before 1854, but in 18.54 the Roman `Catholic Church petrified au opinion into a dograa. It is ex tremely improbable that that Church should adopt any, progressive measure which it would itself consider to be retrograde. Dr, Pusey baseS his work on a learned collection of pas sages made centuries ago by'a certain cardinal for the Council of BaWe. The cardinal was not allowed to read it to this Council, and the work was forgotten for centuries: We are afraid that their fate adumbrates • what inay happen to Dr. Pusey. Despite What we may consider, hiS errors, we respect •Dr. Pusey for his virtue, simplicity and learning; but:never since Don Quixote fought the windmill has there been a' more. Quixotic attempt than this to convince a Roman Catholic Council against Its will bYa big book enibodying ecclesiastical tradition. • • •• - • • The case of the imprisoned nun at Cracow, which led to the recent riots there; forms the subject of an article in thaVienna Presse from which we learn that the niune,of the prisoner• is Barbara Übryk, and that the statement that she bad been confined for twenty r omiyears is. correct.

[From the Times, July 28.1 , The Harvard crew were .out yesterday for the first time on' the London water a. 4 a emu plete crew, and various were the opinions ex pressed as , to their qaPabilities. , Theie' boat being made ready, the. American oarsmen em- barked shortly after noon from the. London Club Boat-house, and paddled . up to the Crab Tree, between Putney andHammersmith Bridges at low - water, and, turning round, rowed back to Putney. They were out again in the evening, between five and six o'clock, and rowed up to Mortlake against the ebb tide, where they • turned and rowed - back to their boathouse, accompanied on both• occa sions by Henry Kelley, the waterman, who was sculling. Their boat when seen afloat is very different in appearance from the best English racing craft. She sits high in the, water forward and aft--tliat is to say; at both ends—being compa.ratively low in the middle. The oarsmen appeared to be placed a long way apart. with a greater distance intervening be tween .Nos. 2 and 3 than is usual in this coun try. Indeed, instead;of all four men sitting equislistinit, they sit, as it were, two and two. The coxswain, too, is placed at an unusual dis tance away from the stroke oar, and con.se quently the crew do not, present that compact appearance that, one is accustomed - to see in an Luglish four. Their boat.can scarcely be said to carry them well, as she trims by the head, running her bows, very, deep at'the end of each stroke, and riding unnecessarily high at the stern. The firm of .J. St, S. Salter have been commissioned to build the'Americans a racing four.aS quickly , as possible, and, they will row in whichever boat they think fastest. - As re gards the oarsma.uship of the men but Ittle can be said, because, in the first place, they are upon strange water; secondiy, ; they have had no practice for about three weeke and, finally, they are as yet unaccustomed to their heat, in which;we undetostand.theyl have'nly rowed once or twice before. Their pulling is slightly different front the 'English , style, as it is somewhat shelter; 'with' Much leus , body swing, and is , also xery deep, whereas it is considered a sine quo non in this country to dip the oar very lightly. Again, all the men db not row equally well, although they , are very nicely together. The President and some other members of the Oxford University Boat Club visited the Harvard oarsmen to-day to. arrange about the match, but as the latter stipulated for smooth water and a calm clay, no definite selection was trade for the day of the race, although it was agreed that it should be rowed on one of four das , s—viz.: either the 23d, 24th, 25th or Nth of August. The first mentioned day would be highly inconvenient, the 2',,Sfof August being fixed for the second day's racing_of the Thames_National „Regatta, ter watermen. [ From the Morning Pod, July 3.J The Harvard collegians went out in their boat yesterilay for the first time since they have been in England, and their style of row ing, coupled with their extraordinary muscu lar development, has created the impression tbatibey_are a..zood - sere`w - ,:although - rough and out of form; but it is a montlite - thetim - 1 -of the race,- and= erathat natinehtlesvontierf el change will take place. In the morning they went out for a short paddle,and-in-the-even= ing :to Barnes and back,_accompanied by Harry:Kelley, the ex-champion, who be - their__mentor, _ of Spanish. cedar -- longer= ::than ( - 7 - UM, but flat bottomed and very -roomy; in fact, just the class of boat to carry men of their weight and power. They have a good reach forward, and dash the boat along at a tremendous pace, but miss the first part of the stroke, although they keep good time. Two of the oars did not catch the water at right angles, but this is owing perhaps to the tbowl cords being too high, and throwing the oar up and out of position as it, comes for ward for the stroke. One essential, however, they possess—the use of the legs—and keep their bodies in fine precision, 'both with swing and time; they feather also too low, but this will soon be got over, and no doubt theyr will shortly change their very heavy oars for lighter ones, which will be a great improvement. The Oxford crew ran down to - Putney yester day morning to have a look at them. • [From Bell's Life, July z3.J The Harvard crew made their first appear ance on the Thames yesterday morning, and, as might be expected, the aquatic touts mus tered in considerable force on the tow-path at Putney to witness the performance, which,_ however, was limited to a quiet paddle up the Reach and back. In the evening, shortly befoke haff-past five, they again got afloat from the London hard, and rowed leisurely up to Barnes, whence after a brief rest, they returned to Putney with the ebb. It would be ' of course, unfair to ,assume that this, their preliminaky spin, offered any ade quate criterion of their real form, inasmuch as at present they must necessarily be, to a cer tain extent, stale after their voyage across the Atlantic; but, judging from what we saw of them yesterday, we cannot help thinking they have yet a good deal to learn if our .English notions on the subject of " style " are well founded, They 'are unquestionably an ex tremely powerful crew—keep good time, and' sit their boat very steadily, but they all exhibit' a marked tendency to do their work with their arms rather' than °with the body and• legs, and,, with;; the exception of their stroke, Mr. Simmons;:who is decidedly the most , finished oarsman Of the lot, seem never to get fairly hold of the water until the oars are nearly at tight angles with the boat. They are also somewhat dead " on the chest, and, consequently, slow in the' recovery. ' As we have before remarked, however, it would lie,unfair to judge of, their pretensions from a fika'performance ; indeed, it is by no means ,unlikely that the short-comifigs to which .we have called attention may arise in a great mea sure from the • fact that they are'unaccustomed to row on tidal'water, and, we lave no doubt that a little more practiee, - under the 'care of Harry _Kelly, mho, we Understand, has • been engaged in • the capacity of. i f'coach," see them in : much better form.

A pleasant, unpretending vii lage, in the eastern part of New Jersey, is separated from the ocean by an extended pla teau of land which is not duplicated by any part of the 'Atlantic coast. This plateau is barren of trees or undergrowth, anti ends ab ruptly at the beach in a bluff about thirty feet above it. This bluff faces — nearly due east,and, paralleled to its general direction, about sev enty-five feet distant, a carriage road, four or_ five miles long, bas been laid out. A lawn in tervenes, the thorn verdure of which is only broken by a foot-path close to the bluff; and an occasional pavilion on this gives the strol ler an opportunity-to-contemplate at leisure the fascinating monotony of theLsea,_orthe cluster of excited-bathers at-its-foaming edge.- Rude bath -houses are situa :d in $ close beneath the bluff. • -- TheltotelsinTrenpOlTthe land side - Witte car _riage road. _They_ are c,oustruct,ed=of_wood,- painted white, (with the exception of the drab ! colored - StetsofilletisiT; are - _ - coinfialed - _ - offa - __ central-portion-of-tltree-or-four-storieswit extended wings of two, and surrounded,-at= each story with piazzas and balconies. — More or less ornamental wood-work suggestive of cotton lace, is the only attempted relief to a cheap appearance which all partake of. They are scattered at very irregular distances. The. Atlantic and Metropolitan are upon the lonely part of the road north of the •approach from the station. The Continental Mansion House and United States, in social proximity, imme diately south. The Pavilion, more' isolated; and, nearly a mile further, ,Howlands and the slender-columned Stetson House. Cottages, shops and restaurants are scattered along the entire distance, but show a preference for the neighborhood of the three, closest hotels.. The cottages interest the stranger more when he bears of their occupants, than from their ac tual appearance, as they do not surpass the framed residences of many a modern village. So much to give an idea of the 'dace which Philadelphians may attain after an uninter esting journey of four hours, and which per sons from New York can reach in half of the time with a delightful sail down the bay as an additional inducement; such advantages, as Sunday approaches, being too great for the comfort Of all who ,make a prolonged stay. Sunday is the geUeral holiday of the Metropo litans, and their inroad as it nears is a kind of breaker upon the milder ebb and flow of the week. The every-day routine depends some what upon the hours at which meals are served in therdiflerent hotels, and upon the ap pointed time for bathing, which varies with the tide; but, by common consent, 'the morn- - .. mg' is occupied in excursions, parlor gossip, walking, reacting of novels and papers, and. playing, of games; the afternoon in napping, dressing, driving, and promenading ; and the evening in dancing, conversing, and visiting hotels or the tottages where 0110 may be ac quainted. • The arrival of trains, and the playing of the band, have their, influence, which varies, ac cording to individual interest ortaste. At about five in the afternoon, the driving excitement commences, and 'in pleasant weather devclopes ,an astonishing variety of, attractive equipageS: Fashion', - and a desire for noteriety, , here find'an opportunity,' and take advantage of it.

Strollers upon , the' bluff See every sail which they have watched pale in the grey, Cool; atmosphere of early•eveningv and, dis-: turbed in their reireries, reflect that it 'is time for supper. The meals are, good at most of the hotels:- and the who escape, or - overeome the irritatinff ,complaint incident to the drinking of the li me-water , ,in tise, do justice to them. Whatever 'people may attribute it ta indiscretion in eating, cold bathing, or some complaint of long standing, • there are sure to be several in each hotel 'after whose -health it needs be a daily court e sy to inquire: Few suffer from bathing, as the proportion , Who enjoy it; are , small. 4 The beach is steep, and the danger sufficient to warrant the eaten-. lion of the limits of - safe',.hathingaud.' thedallYannonticement of the helm' when it may best be, , indulged in. Following, thmi; precautions one can enter the water witheut' tear, but .no confidence acquired •in fresh' . water swimming should, Iliave its influence. It is, by ,testiniony • . of;;,. one , of the-, regular ' bathers, those who .have this experience for, whom "is felt %the , gpatest, anxiety. ;Such. persons are fearless in the quiet waters of a river' 'MO hear enough about the buoyant qualities of salt water to rather abate than increase caution; but in the constant gliding, tossing, and wrestling 6f the waves they have to exert a force and undergo a strain (in the shoulders particularly) which they do not realize until eilbrt becomes imPer ative. • They swim given distancetrom the.: beach, and, nly in attempting, to return, lind that thrice the, exertion is necessary, and if not yigorous enough for , this, sufferthe copse quences. - These may be fatal, as has been too often proved; and with the lack of all needed appliandes for restoration of life,the risks of hardihood are not'worth taldng. - The neglect to provide such things, as a pliy-, sician might need at a moment's notice, is ahnost criminal at such a popular resort as ;Long Branch. The constant attendance of a physician during bathing hours Would not, in deed be too great a public demand., So much regarding the ld'eal attraction, however, for persons reasonably prudent,' is pleasant and invigorating as needs be.. Now to speak of society` The Hebrew element is very prevalent. There are few of the hotels where it is not conspicuously so, and a cosmopolitan New Yorker might, find numbers of acquaintances among • the pronounced beauties of^ the race. •Soirie houses, however, are otherwise occupied. Of these Howland's may he mentioned as the resort of well-known and rather exclusive' Philadelphians, who play croquet, ride, flirt and patronize the' entertainments of 'other, hotels according to their success; the Mansion House as the equally social and select, abode of New Yorken, aml a very pleasant central resort; the United States, which "is` rather negative than positive in its' characteristics, and, finally, Stetson's, the hotel, which, , from IN - spacious halls, public rooms, piazzas and high ceilings, - has the best claim to the name, while perhaps lacking the geniality of smaller houses. It may clabu more style and a company less dependant upon, each other for their enjoyment. A' greater number of carriages are generally in its neigh= borhood, although other hotels haven fair pro portion, a majority of all being private. The public eonveyances consist of emriibuses, bet-, - Tonging to the different hotels and, somewhat resembling those of ,our engine • companies, which run with more or less frequency be,- tween the depot and their several ,destina.= , tons, and are always subject to public demand. A general idea of the occupation of time by boarders has been given, 'but hardly less in teresting than the event of the day to 'an ob server are those intervals during it whempeo ple sit along . upon the low-shaded balconies andpiazzas in front of their respective pruni tively furnished rooms, and remind one tbr all the world of so ninny swallows under the edge of a sand-bank, every one occupied with some little occupation or confusion, and all utterly oblivious to general regard..

A. .A. 0, H. IBBELIoIO.iT9. The Chicago Episcopal War. The Cheney Ecclesiastical Court, in Chicago, has published its "solemn, protest" against the action of the Supptior...Court. in, that city, and puts upon record a declaration of its rights, - as follows : , . 1. That civil courts, as such, cannot and ought not to interfere by prohibition or in junction with courts spiritual and ecelesiasti cal, in any manner whatever. 2. That courts spiritual or ecclesiastical, in all their proceedings, are governed not by canon only, but by usage; and that usage in matters spiritual or t cclesiastical derives its origin from the same source, and prevails to, the same extent, that "common law" does civil matters. 3. The civil courts, as such, cannot and ought not to assume or exercise, revisory powers over, proceedings in spiritual or ecele.siastical courts, In order to set aside- their: verdicts or reverse their decision; and that, in all'exereise' of any right of' inquiry that may exist sisect to civil or property, interests- after- final decision is bad in the case, civil courts - - are bound-by such eunstntction and such infaerpre- • tation as spiritual courts may, determine , and 4. That civil courth can interpose to, effect relief only in cases of dunage or injury. eIIBII - from acts of which such courts came pro perly take Cognizance; that, nndaa. prospeo tive right of employment ea al' 'clergyman, and conseoent 'salary, does not coostitute such a • case.
