(azirrn's TELIDGRAIOL ) DEBATE ON POLAND IN THE FRENCH SENATE.-SPEECH OF M. BILLAULT. YARD , MAKE 19. To-day, in the Senate, K de Touraugin explained why the committee proposed to pass to the order of the day on the petitions in favour of Poland. K Billault expressed his regret that words had been spoken likely to compromise the cause of Poland, and rendering more diificult the course of the government. M. Billault said :—" The sympathies of France for Poland are not new, and are founded upon glorious recollections, and the sentiments inspired by the sufferings of a heroic people which have lasted nearly a century." The minister then stated that he had nothing to retract from the words which he had uttered in another assembly, and continued—" The Polish question is not for gotten, but a fresh insurrection can only bring fresh misfortunes, and it is neither good, useful, nor hu mane, to encourage it. The French government per sists in this language." M. Billault recalled that the policy followed by preceding governments con sisted in many words and-tittle action, " a policy dangerous for Poland, irritating for sovereigns, and without result for anybody. It is neces sary," he said, " to mistrust popular impulses." K Billault observed that aspirations for liberty were manifesting themselves everywhere, and made the powers more accessible to the voice which has been raised in favour of Poland. "For this rea son," he continued, " Russia has replied to the communications of France by benevolent words, promising concession and amnesty. The old distrust of Europe towards Franoe exists no longest, The policy and conduct of the Emperor has destroyed it for ever. Foreign powers understand that this pacific and liberal policy responds to the wants and necessities of all parties. If it should happen that the destiny of Poland must be settled by a Congress, there is no doubt that the voice of France would be listened to." K Billault men tioned the precedents of the Senate on similar occa sions, and asked that the order of the day be adopted. He remarked, in conclusion, that after the speech which the Senate heard yesterday, it could not hesitate between referring the petitions to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, accompanied by its reasons for so doing—a course which perhaps implied the risk of war—and passing to the order of the day, thereby expressing confidence in the wis dom and firmness of the Emperor. Much cheering followed the conclusion of M. Billault's speech, and the Senate passed to the order of the day by 109 against 17 votes. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. LEYBERG, MARCH 19. A telegram received here from Tarnow an nounces that Langiewicr defeated the Russians under the command of General Scbachowsky, both yesterday and the day before, and captured consi derable quantities of war material.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION. According to intelligence received from Polish sources, a sanguinary engagement has taken place near the small town of Londek, three miles from Konin.

Russian reinforoemeuts set out from Salim!' on the 17th for the scene of this engage ment. I The headquarters of General Langiewicz were at IZaryszin on the 16th. General Padlewaki passed the Narew, in the palatinate of Mazovic, on the 12th, after beating the Russians at Dronzewo. A Russian despatch from Warsaw denies that a detachment of the Imperial Guard bad suffered • check through falling into an ambush near Wilna, and denies also that any insurrectionary movement has broken out in the western provinces of Poland. A telegram from Lemberg states that • new band of 1,000 men has been formed in the government of Lublin, and that 200 insurgents have entered Tarnogorud, and set up a provisional government there. A post-office notification fromltreslan announces that the running of the trains between that city and Warsaw is again suspended. TILE OUTWARD INDIA ILND CHINA MAU& MARIRELLEA, MARCH 19.—The Messegerhe Imperidss steamer Lebourdoensis left Marseilles to-day with the roads for lodic and China, 64 panniers, 1,007 packages of mer. chaudise, and specie value 74,560/. The Para, with the heavy portion of the Austra lian, China, and India malls due at Southampton yesterday, is not expected to arrive before to-morrow, owing to her having been obliged to put into Lisbon, being short of coals. FEMALE EMIGRATION.—The Duke of Newcastle received an influential deputation on Wednesday from the National Female Emigration Society. In the course of • lengthy interview, it was stated that the object of the society wet to disseminate information on the subject of emigration, and to afford advice to intending emigrants. It was sought to carry out the above objects by the forms• ! tion of a committee of ladies, and another committee of gentlemen ; the organiaation of a central office in Lon don, where information would be given gratuitously ; the establishmest of branch offic e s in the loge towns of the United Kingdom under the management of local committees, and also to establish ccarespoodieg coco mittees in the colonies to co-operate with the society in England ; and especially to provide for the reception. of female animate upon their arrival at the port of debarks- Oat A temporary home would be provided in London where single female emigrants would be received and visited by the ladies' committee.

Duke of Newcastle received the deputation very favourably, and promised to communicate his views on the subject is writ to the seattery. [Stamped, Id. Additional] DRAMA. OLYMPIC. A yerAion of M. Fiardoo'n comedy of The Butterfly, adapted by Mr. Horace Wipe, was produced at this hour last night, under the title of Tasting the Truant. It deals, in the French free-and-easy manner, with the old ' story about man's faithlessness and woman's constancy, and though slight as • cobweb from beginning to end, it pro vides a fair amount of amusement for a couple of hours. ' The object of the plot—as the title implies—is to reclaim a truant husband, and this is done by making a fool of the wanderer through three acts. During this period he is led about blindfolded by his aunt without knowing he, in Cum . bled about his own bore without knowing it, is made to , kiss his wife's hand wider the belief that she is an Italian counter, and is finally made jealous of hi. own brio his own drawing-room. One of the scenes is as full of acmes, curtains, and practicable doors, as the platform during a polyphonic performance ; end the comedy —as it is called— ' would be cut short in the middle, if one of them hiding. places was thrown open at the wrong moment. Whet little story there is in the piece seemed to be burnt out at the end of the second act ; but the flickering flame was revived by the whole of the characters 011 the stage, except one, taking • follow-my-leader leap out of the window. The third act partly justified its birth by giving us • very annuls( scene between three gentlemen who were in a mental fee. and ; what with laughing at them and aithe piece the performance was brought to • very satisfactory coeclusion. [liar. H. Neville, Mr. Boar Wigan, Mr. W. Gordon, Meshes, and Miss tanner sustanA l 6 ai he cipal parts with their usual spirit. Nils ocularly good as • smart ilative widow, who plays • lady's maid to befoul her truant nephew ; and Mr. Horace Wigan threw some little character into • feeble flatterer of vicious tendencies. Mr. Neville's part was aroma rather too full of mock heroics to be altogether present, but he went through it with • worthy cheerfulocee. The piece was very well and all the chief actors were called at the fall of the curtain. PRINCESS'S. Mr. Limb's, the lessee of tbie theatre, announces hie firet benefit for to-morrow evening. On this mos /ion two acts of the Honeymoon will precede the popular play of Aurora Floyd. and the performances will wind up with Yr. Benjamin Webster in the Woman Eater. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Is it the fact that Yr. Whitworth was not Zang to bays his own trained men at the tnal., and that fir W. Arab strong was allowed to ham his ? Neither ilk Wm Arra stroag's nor Mr. Whitworth's men ware allowed to gm near them. By General Peel—The principal experiments were wrist on with 18-poundors at 1,600 yards, with a 12.poentler, sal ultimately with a 32.polinder. What is your present opinion with respect to Sir W.

If there bad been a real inspection, patched-up gnus woiskt not have bees Mined. By Sir O. C. Lewie—Unles inspection is carried es through the whole process of rreautdserre it is without rail. It follows that It would be useless to laripsct ger and projectiles made by a contractor. It may be takes r an axiom that all guns lore by contract most be inspected before they are received into the senor It follows that an inspection after manufacture is of salmi, and that it ought to be applied to gorernment works as well as be contractors.
