ii pROGRBSSS ' . in the Russo-Turkisn question . X there is almost none to report- The last facts that -we know are scarcely a step in advance of thpaie ^ Bat -we knew last week . Count QdbfF it is said is despatched from St . Petersburg with & spedial-mis si 6 n for ^ JDdtftW ^ f ^ Vieiinav Berfiii , Paris , and London , and it is assumed that Mthat mission is pacific . The presumptioit does : not appear to be self-evident ; and a contemporary makes a jnore probable conjecture , in ; supposing
c that his whole and sole purpose is to ^ persuade Austria to quit the alliance of the Western Powers , jjnd to Jbind fcer 4 ^ 'tp j 5 iissia . " ' * , " i If is much more certain that H the Epaperor has l > laced himself in a" position tb receive ) a very unpleasant communication . ' It is announced in his official journal at St . 'Petersburg ** that the Kussiati iaroverriment has inquired" irotti . Franca and Bng- ^ land a categorical declaration Avith regard ^ to the
character and bearing of their action , in sending their fleets into the Black Sea , and that upon , that declaration will depend the ulterior attitude of Russia . " The Morning Post ., which gives the most distinct reports upon the subject , says that before thie meeting of Parliament an answer will be despatched to the Czar " as unpalatable to Russia as it is worthy of the Western Powers , and
of the great cause they" are . united to support . Meanwhile two steamers , French and English , have appeared before Sebastopol , and have given the Anglo-French notice to the Governor , requiring him to avoid collision with the fleets . Hia answer , it is said , simply amounts to a declaration that he was surpised by the notice .
The news from India confirms and modifies what we have heard from Persia by other channels . It now appears that Persia had really been threatening some annoyance , but the Government 6 f Bombay , fully alive to every chance of aggression from that quarter , had taken measures of precaution , and no doubt Mr . Thompson , the charge d'affaires at Teheran , had been , enabled not
only to point out the position of Eussia , isolated from the rest of Europe , hut also the power which England had of annoying the Shah , particularly on his coasts . This explains how Mr . Thompson had been able to recover lost ground , although it confirms the original belief that Persia was not unwilling to play the part of an enemy . Aaothor step in the direction of national
improvement has been taken ; b , jc . Piedmont . Some time since i ^ e ' . |^ is 1 b (^' ' J sAa ^^ -i ^ e . rQjal ^ uthority , a decree for reducmg the duty ; on com } and , at the opening of the present session , they constitutionally spa ^ Bi ^ i get ibkt fe&v 6 fy issued for a purpose ! of urgfinpyy sanctioned by " tH' ^ jjf ^ gf 3 ^ lature , andv placed upon a . permanent footing-i Thejr proposed a sweeping reduction of the duties 6 rij 56 r ^ i ; tte Chainlter \ oY ^^ e ^ iativesiieferre ^ the question to a select committee , which proposed
ft still further reduction ; Un the Chamber , however , several members advocated total abolition , and ^ pppit pavour saki that he ai » 6 u 5 ld prefer tptal abolition to a very ; small dufcyi if . the ^ Qhamher ^ rould ; mak ^ good [ the cdnlsequfetit ^ deficiency in the revenue . ; The Chamber ^ t , 6 njc ^ adppt ^ dHhe \ pro - position , fa& . } p qiMfc 0 i : ^ % & ' iq ? 2 $ l tHat ^ the cori trade should be ' absolutely free ; no doubt is entertained that the Senate will confirm - th ' is" vote .
Thus we see the Government and the " representative body proceeding in harnaony ¦ to improve the condition of the country , ami to extend freedom in commerce as Vell ^ as in politics and religion . . , ' ' ;•/;• . ' , ' ., ' ; ' - ' ; . ,.- " ¦ ' . We only wish that we were equally certain of the same earnestness and resolution at home . When wG reflect upon the difficulties against which the Piedmontese must contend ; when we
think of the , dangers that threaten them—the hostility of Rome , possessing spies and agents in every church and convent ; the rancour of Austria , anxious to expunge the audacious model of constitutional freedom , and the unhappy indiscretions of a so-called ultra-liberal party , which does not permit itself to be guided by the temperate counsels of Mazzini—we cannot fail to admire those firm and and consistent patriots of Piedmont who continue internal reform and
improvement , notwithstanding such distracting circumstances . We are often told that if there were a war , our own Parliament and public would be unable to pursue Parliamentary reform , to attend to education , or even to carry out a drain . Such is the picture of Englishmen painted by themselves ; yet Piedmont , her very existence threatened \> y traitors within and tyrants without , steadily pursues her course . Indeed so much more steadily than ourselves , that truly we are inclined to believe danger to be a stimulant and tonic rather than a disturber . Almost tUo converse of that proposition might be gathered from , what the public is doing about reform . They have just had a great meeting at

The scene was a meeting of the X > iocesan School Society at Hereford ; ' t | ie purpose of the meetieg was to promote education , A report read ' stated how a few schools for farmers and labourers have been successful , but . that , an immense number of parishes in , the . diocfiselaye without any school at all . Presiding ; ov . e ; r , this meeting , Bishop Hampden , usually regarded as an extremely liberal prelate , uttered a sermon full of Tory platitudes , asserting that secular education is not what the people want , but Something to rescue them from depraved habits ; £ ot
education may only render the want more wicked : We will not say that the prelate might speak for himself ; though it is strange to hear an educated man talk thii Jack Cade stuff against instruction . He should not preside at a meeting of the School Association , but stick to church extension . . To carry out his reason to the full , ho should try what can be done by purely religious instruction , admitting tlie people of his diocese , from , the cradle to the matrimonial altar , with no school but the parish church , to receive no tuition but from the pulpit . How would such a system work unless the pulpit were to become , what it might bo , the truo instructor of the people in naorals , by making them understand natural law a as illustrated in fact and nature ?
