LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 24. THE riot at Stalybeidge is in every point of view a lamentable event. It breaks that uni formity of patient good behaviour in which Lan cashire, and all England on behalf of the suffer ing county, took, so just a pride. Its obvious effect must be to diminish in some degree the sympathy which has been so widely manifested in favour of men who b ore great privations uncom plainingly, as well as to sow the seeds of possible distrust between the administrators and the reci- pients of relief in other districts. Nor is this out burst of biwleasness one for which it is possible to find the faintest shadow of excuse. When men, hope . leanly ground down by famine see their children starving before their eyes for want of the bread which on every side luxury consumes in wasteful profusion, but refuses to distribute to their necessities, it is hard to blame them if they make one wild, frantic appeal to what they think the tribunal of natural right, and take what no one ---- will give them. But the present is not a cue of thin kind. It is not alleged that there was any- - _ thing like starvation in Stalybridge, s town where the average rate of income, including earn ings and relief, was no leas than 2s. 7d. per head. The story of the riot is not one of famished women forcing their way into the bread shops, but of an idle mob, too strong for local control, .. . . displaying its partialities in smashing windows and stoning the police. It cannot be too clearly un derstood that this is not so much a riot of Lanca shire operatives, undertaken for the sake of im posing an unreasonable popular will upon a Relief Committee, as an Irish row upon Lancashire ground. It was Donnybrook Fair, with its as faction fight, held in the market-place of Stalybridge. Even so, the disgrace of the large class of English workpeople who, forbearing at once to range themselves upon the side of order, suffered this bitter shame to be inflicted upon their town, is hardly the leas. While for those who urge the ignorant passions of the people to excesses which they are themselves far too prudent to share —who are skilled in the use of insinuation, and suppression; and invective, upon platform and in print, but when brickbats are flying are too cow ardly to strike a blow either against or in behalf of public safety—no words of scorn and contempt can be too severe. The very demands made by the rioters are a sufficient proof that they had no substantial griev. vices of which to complain. The Relief Committee desired to introduce three changes into their method of administration ; first, to reduce the pay ment to the men in the adult school from 3s. 4d. to 3s. weekly ; secondly, to keep a day's wages per week in their own hands ; and thirdly, to pay the men for the future by ticket instead of in cash. In the absence of further information the object of the second measure is not very apparent ; the third, which is said to be justified by the amount of drunkenness observed in the town whenever the payments are made to the schools, is in any cue • change fairly within the discretion of the committee. The main point is the first. Urged by local circumstances over which they had no control, the Stalybridge Committee fixed the rate of remunerationfor attendance in the adult school at a sum beyond the average, and now see, in prospect of failing resources, the necessity of lowering it. The proposed diminution still left the men in receipt of a larger than the average amount o: the distressed district. Whether the adult scholar were a single man, or a member of a family receiving relief, there could be no question of his starving on 3s. a week. Part of the mischief has doubtless arisen from an injudicious use of the word " wages" in relation to the adult schools ; as if the sum paid could be raised or lowered by the conjoint action of the recipients, who had acquired a moral, if not a legal, right to a certain scale of payment. It is possible enough that other causes of vexation, which have notbeen reported, may have inflamed the passions of the rioters; the best intentioned adminis tration of charity sometimes makes mistakes ; wholesale benevolence, if it is to get through its work, must neglect individual feelings, and may inflict individual hardship. Still the Stalybridge riots are a strike against charity, and that of the worst kind. It is an ill omen that disturbances of the public peace should have begun in a town where relief has been most liberally administered, and privation, in consequence, most lightly felt. As a matter of course these outbreaks will be promptly and rigorously repressed. In these cases quick severity is the truest mercy : better far that a fefh reckless boys and girls should pay the penalty of imprisonment for their brief hour of tri umphant mischief, than that by-and-bye fiercer passions should be aroused, and the public peace be preserved only by the sacrifice of life. For the sake of all parties—of the manly and law-abiding workmen who are accepting the bounty of their countrymen in silent thankfulness—of those who are executing with great devotion, and on the II THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENT/4G, MARCH 24, 1863. whole with singular success, the ungrateful task of administering relief—of the kind-hearted, wbo are still willing to help those who deserve a gentler and more liberal aid than the law awarde—it must be distinctly understood that no wrongs oan be redressed by violence, and that force will be beaten down by force. There is, if we are rightly informed, some reason to think that the state of feeling which has existed in Stalybridge is peculiar to itself and one or two neighbouring places. We trust that the events of the next few weeks will prove that no other Lancashire town is willing to share its shame. ebe Court. LATMT INTIILLAIALIENUK. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. The Cuss of Cracow, in a leading article, expresses regret that the tactics of the dictator should have been changed from those of a war of partisans to regular warfare ; but, in deploring the issue of the affair, attributes to it an importance purely load. The flight of the dictator, it says, does not impart a graver character to the incident. Although Lao giewicz should not re-appear, the situation will teat the same ; he had been too short a time at the head of the troops, which were not properly con centrated under his direction. The dictatorship was but a symbol of the sacrifices and of the united action of the country—the expression of the wishes of the nation. The CMS terminates its article in these words :—" We know not who will replace the dictator, but the incident of the 19th is only an episode, and by no means the termination of the strife." It appears from documents published in the independence Beige that General Mieroslawski con siders himself to have been ill-used by Langiewicz. The former states that he was named dictator by the National Committee, and two of the three Poles who were sent to him at Paris confirm his statement ; the third has fallen in the struggle. It is evident that the dissensions which have hitherto been so fatal to the Polish cause are not altogether absent from this last movement. _ _ The Prase of Vienna says :—" All the chiefs of the insurrection are convinced that it will hold out a long time yet. It was foreseen that Langiewicz would be beaten, but this does not take from the insurrection anything of its intensity. What are most wanting to the insurgents are muskets. The Russians fire at five or six hundred paces, while the Poles, with their hunting guns, can only fire at 200. The troops of which Russia can dispose on the field are not estimated at more than thirty or thirty-five thousand men." (axcria's macrassi.) CRACOW, IdAsca 23, Evasive. Since this morning there have been indecisive engagements between the Russian troops and the insurgents, near Lazy, Miechow, and lgolomia. The chiefs Wisiock, Bentkowski, Sohmiechow ski, and Rochebrune are in the insurgent camp. The leossacks have stopped and plundered an Austrian patrol, killing one of the soldiers. BRESLAU, litAteß 24M The SchZesische Zeitung of to-day publishes a telegram from Cracow stating that Langiewica is not treated as a prisoner in the citadel of that town. AMERICA. (Per City of New York.) REPORTED VICTORY OF THE FEDERLLS. SEW YORIC, XAwn 14, Mournio. . A report has reached Memphis a that battle has occurred on the Yazoo River, in which the Federals captured 7,000 Confederates and eight transports. The New York press generally credit this report, as it was known that the Federal gunboats were prepared to ascend the Yazoo River. Rumours are current in Cairo, but not generally credited here, that the Confederates have captured Forte Henry and Donelson. . Large Confederate forces are said to be massed in Tennessee. One to hold General Rosencranz in check, while the others flank him and enter Kentucky, moving direct on Louisville and Cincin nati. General Longetreet did not go to Tennessee, as reported, but has his head-quarters at Peters burg, Virginia, and has 18,000 men below that city. An early movement of the army of the Potomac is again expected. General Beauregard has revoked all furloughs and recalled all absentees to Charleston. Colonel Richardson, with 400 guerillas, has been captured by the Federals at Covington, Tennessee. The Mobile papers state that the Confederates have much trouble with the Union men in Northern Alabama. One county is said to be full of them, and many deserters are joining them. The Chicago Tribune says there are 500 clubs of the Union League in the West, and the organisa tion is rapidly extending. The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Mr. Cassius IL Clay as minister to Russia. His confirmation was specially pressed by Mr. Seward and the President. The New York Times considers Mr. Clay's appointment as a blunder, and urges him not to accept it. The Secretary of the Treasury has arrived _ _ . New York. It is reported that he will endeavour to raise a loan of 100,000,000 dols., i. e., 50,000,000 dole. on 20 years bonds and 50,000,000 dole. in short bonds. The bill to regulate transactions in gold has been favourably reported in the New York Legislature. Brigham Young has been arrested in Utah under the Polygamy Act. He was released on giving bonds to appear for trial. One democratic and two republican members have been elected to Congress in New Hampshire. No governor has yet been chosen. The Senate at Washington will adjourn to-day. Mr. Seymour, the democratic candidate for the governorship of Connecticut, has made a speech, iu which he said peace would restore the union, but war never would. The contest could only end in despotism. The union must be restored by force of reason, not by force of arms. Richmond despatches speak discouragingly of I the prospect of supplies of food, and say the impressment of grain by the government dis coursges production. Senator Sumner strongly urges the President not to issue letters of marque. NEW YORK, MARcKI3, EVINII9O. Despatches received from the Rappahannock assert that the Confederates have armed and uni formed negroes doing picket duty on the Rappa hannock. The Provost Marshal of Baltimore has forbidden the sale of photographic portraits of distinguished Confederates and of secession music, and has ordered their seizure wherever found. The Federal debt up to March 1, 1863, is esti mated at 868,000,000 dole. This estimate is consi dered accurate. The City of Baltimore, Australasian, Kangaroo, and Anglo-Saxon have arrived out. The City of Baltimore experienced a terrific storm when four days out. The first-mate was lost overboard, and the second-mate severely injured. The steamer Kedar sailed to-day for Liverpool with 275,000 dole. in specie. NEW YORK, liAsca 12, Eviarma. Reports have reached Memphis that an engage ment was progressing at Port Hudson ; but this is considered doubtful. General Hooker has held a conference with the cabinet at Washington, and afterwards returned to the army of the Potom►c. Expeditions from this army have visited all the ferries on the Rappahannock eighty miles below the Federal lines, broken up numerous smuggling nests, and captured a quantity of contraband stores. It is again asserted that large numbers of Con federate troops are being withdrawn from Frede ricksburg. Two hundred Federal'', with two pieces of artillery, have been captured by the Confederates in Tennessee. General van Dorn has succeeded in getting away to Shelbyville with the prisoners he lately captured. No attack on Charleston had occurred up to the Bth inst., but General Hunter bad issued prelimi nary orders showing that an attack would soon commence. Three Federal Monitors have bombarded Fort Macallister during twenty hours. They were struck several times but not injured. They oonld not get near enough to the fort to dismantle it on account of the obstructions in the river. The attack will not be renewed. A Confederate lieutenant, captured near Char- leston, states that peace negotiations have been progressing at Richmond for three weeks ; but the papers there are not allowed to &Rule to them. The difficulties between General Hunter and the officers of General Foster's command at Port Royal are still unsettled. The chief of General Foster's staff has been ordered North. Before leaving he issued • farewell address, saying that truth was mighty and would prevail. It is again asserted that the Confederates have several rams at Mobile preparing for an attack on the blockading squadron. The reported appointment of General Butler as provost-marshal is denied. The government is said to be opposed to appoint ing military men as provost-marshals under the Conscription Act. The Federal Government is advised of move ments by the Confederates for placing privateers on the Pacific. The wreck seen off Havannah was not that of the Florida, as supposed. The steamer Douro, with 400 bales of cotton, from Wilmington, has been captured off Cape Fear. - The British steamer Queen of the Wave has run ashore M Charleston. Admiral Dupont was making efforts to save her. The steamer Peterhoff, from London for Mata mores, has been captured off St. Thomas and sent to Hey West. President Lincoln is expected to call for more troops within ten days. A large meeting will be held at New York next Saturday, to inaugurate the Union League.

THE POLISH RELIEF FUND FOR THE alcK AND WOUNDED POLES. APPEAL PROM THE lADM' ASSOCIATION. There is at the present moment in England • very moral sympathy for the Poles in their fesrful struggle. Their cause is pleaded by the voice of Europe ; it is felt to be one of common interest, of humanity—one which requires more than pis mire moral sympathy. One of our good and able statesmen, when departing from official reserve, pronounced the Maur rection of Poland to be that of • people driven to despair. The mean throughout Europe, the voice of every free people, has answered these words with the question, " What can we do !" It is humanity outraged which gives its full form to this question. Whatever course is taken by the powers of Europe, we, the women of • free country, ought to give our sympathy to the wives, mothers, and children of these patriots. The women of Poland, tree at all times to the noble spirit of patriotism, are now, as ever, devoted to the cause of their country ; and at what cost ? —the cost of all that is dearer to them than life. Rearm tiona like them have lad several ladies to form an ass cation for the relief of the suffering and wounded patriots of Poland, and to give some practical proof of their pro found sympathy with their efforts. In France and throughout Italy funds are being collected for the benefit of the suffering patriots, whom condition in many places is described as most deplorable. The Counter of Shofar.

AUSTRIA. PRINCE METTERN IC H'S MISSION. We find in the semi-official journal of Vienna, the Prase, the following interesting article : Rumours of all kinds, and some of them very interest ing, are being circulated in diplomatic circles respecting the report which Prince Metternich made on his arrival at Vienna upon the situation at Paris. First, they tell us that Prince Metternich spoke of the desire which 'the Emperor of the French and kf . Dronyn de Lbuys have ex. pressed in the most lively and seductive terms for a *loser alliance between Austria and France. Everything invites to this—not only the Polish question, but the Italian and, especially, the Roman question,which can only be regulated in a definitive way by an understanding between Austria and France. The latter hopes that in pining Austria she will also gain England, and that then would be found a truly stable basis for the maintenance of European peace. There ought to be no anxiety at Vienna upon the Polish question ; however it may be settled, Austria can lose nothing. If matters arrive at the point that the Allied Powers must take into (*moderation the re- eonstitutiou of a Polish kingdom independent of Rule, France will so arrange that Austria can ex change Galicia against the Danubian Principalities. Sorb are the sort of things which are related in ooenexion with the departure of oar ambassador from Paris; and if they are trim the astonishment which they cause may be imagined. It is added that when Prime Metternich had been received with Count de Hochberg by the Emperor and had finished his story, a reply was given to him to the effect that Austria would be ready to accede in principle to the prootiedinse of the Western Powers from the moment that those powers are agreed as to those proceedings. "We do not see," it was said to M. Metternich, " what puttees would be served by identical proceedings of Austria and the Western Powers in the Polish imeetior. if there were not behind her an army to force Russia to consent to the demands. We can well understand war which is made to obtain something, to conquer a pro vince as Franca did in IW, against Austria, but the latter could not be asked to make war to lose a province." The Vienna journals state that the Austrian ambassador at St. Petersburg, Count de Thun, is about shortly to leave that capital, and that Austria will be represented only by a simple charge d'affaires ; but it is denied that this fact has any serious character.

A letter from Brussels states that King Leopold has just undergone another operation for his per sistent malady—the stone, and that, unfortunately, Dr. langiewicz has only succeeded in extracting a small fragment ; the principal calculus remains.

Gold, 691 per Gent. premium. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom otra owa PARIS, MONDAY ETICIMM. Prince Richard de Metternich has arrived in ' Paris from Vienna. The government journals speak mysteriously of the result of his mission as being all that France could desire ; but I believe the truth to be that Austria has not acceded to the proposal regarding Poland which was made by the Tuileries. BuUisr's Correspondence says the public will perhaps find in a very few days that France, has not been neglecting Poland. I build very little upon this vague announcement. It is remarkable how little is said to-day about the alleged violation of Prussian territory by the Russian troops. I believe that the violation has taken place. The Patric observes as a significant fact that the Moniteur does not notice the denial telegraphed from Berlin in its bulletin, but only under the heading " Foreign News," which is un derstood to be a collection of current intelligence for which the official journal does not bold itself out as responsible. The same observation would in deed apply to the bulletin, to a certain extent ; but there is a considerable shade of difference between the two. The bulletin does frequently give cur rency to mere on dits, but then the presumption is that they coincide with the policy of the go vernment. In the present case the omis sion to give prominence to the contra diction which the France and Constidatiennet eagerly adopted may be reasonably regarded as evidence that the government knows that contra diction to be untrue. The Patric argues that the latest news, stating that Russian estafettes were freely allowed to reap the benefit of the convention of Feb. 8, is even more important than a simple stategic movement operated by Russian generals ; because it shows that the Prussian authorities de liberately allowed the Russians to use Prussian territory for keeping up their communications which bad been cut off. The Opinion Nationals assorts that Langiewicz'a defeat is entirely owing to his being surprised by the advance of a Russian corps which came upon him through Prussian ter ritory by places called Oppeln, Czentoschau, and Pili ca. The Bourse was very firm at the opening, but gave way afterwards. Rents declined 20c. from the highest point of the day, but the dosing prices were not lower than those of Saturday. Three Algerian journals have received warnings for "disrespect to the Emperor," and chronicling the proceedings of a self-elected "colonial defence committee," for which " there is no occasion."

At half-pest nine o'clock this morning a pollee constable who had been sent tostelrbridge by Mr. Daleak the chief constable, to watch the progress of 'yenta in that borough, arrived at the Town-hall, Ashton, with the intel ligence that a considerable mob of persons baring gathered there had marched in proossaion thence for the purpose of rioting at Ashton. Mr. Wei& immediately called in all the available police force, and soon afterwards Kr. Hugh Mason, a magistrate, arrived, and, with Mr. Dslgliab, decided upon calling out as soon as pcenble a troop of the 14th Hussars, stationed at the Ashton. barracks. ln the meantime a nom . . her of special oonstables were sworn is, and with the porme were placed under the command of the chief constable. With ldr. Yawn at their bead this body proceeded to the Stalybeidge-road, with a view of preventing the mob from estering the tows. They were too late, however, for that purpose, for before this could be done the _ . . . . mob had arrived and attacked the bread.shop of Mr. Handfortli, baker, Old-street, ad the inmate', through fear, had thrown out loaves of bread, which led to a scramble and mach arcitament. From this shop they pro ceeded to that of Joshua Taylor, a corn dealer and cheese factor, and here also both bread and cheese were thrown to them. Thence they went in considerable disorder to the shop of Joseph Wood, a large provision dealer, in Market street-avenue, and broke into it and carried off some cheese. From this place they proceeded, with great noise, down Stamford-street as far as the shop of Mr. Corry, grocer and provision dealer, where bread was also thrown out to them by the alarmed inmates. With the bread, • box of biscuits was also given to them. From Stamford-street the mob proceeded to Heuryaquare, to the shop of Mr. Farrand, pro. vision dealer. Mr. Mason, accompanied, as before describe], by the police and also by the military, here came up with the rioter, ; but the shop had been already forced open and breed was being thrown out. Mr. Mason Immediately proceeded to address them, and was received with cheers and booting. He was lifted up on to the shoulders of severed men, and many of the crowd took off their hate to listen. He addressed them to the effect that they would do much betterby peaceable than by riotous conduct, and advised them to go home without committing farther depredations. What they had does alreedy, he told them, constituted a riot. (Cries of " No, no"—" no riot.") He said that it was • riot, and so long as he was a magistrate he would not permit riotous conduct to go on in Ashton unchecked. If they had any reasonable grievances to complain of, they should, if application were made to the proper quarter, be heard and indeed impartially. Bat if they took, as he wee sorry to say they had done. the law into their own bands, they would earn for themselves well-merited disgrace, and would lase all the sympathy which had been so generally expressed for them. In Ashton shop-breaking could neither be allowed nor tolerated for • moment, and with the view of effectually and at once ;meting • atop to such disgraceful conduct, he should proceed to read the Riot Act, and then call upon them to disperse. Mr. Mason proceeded to read the Riot Act amidst cheers. hooting", and cries of "We want bread, we've got no money." The mob was then told to disperse, and they pro ceeded along Fortlandatreet and Catherine-street, to a baker's shop in Cavendish-street, into which • por tion of them broke, and seized a number of loaves that were on the counter, and threw them out at the door. As they were leaving this shop the police came up, and Mr. I)alglish seeing one of the mob carrying away • loaf, apprehended him. The mob from this place went towards the gas works, whither they were followed by the police ; and soon afterwards, the police, taking another route through Oldham-street, were assailed by a shower of stones. One of the missiles struck Mr. Mason, but did not severely hurt him. The moment the atones were thrown the polies faced about and confronted the mob, coosisting of at lent 3,000 people. The Human, which had been stationed in Henry-square, now came up and charged the mob with drawn swords, but rode through them without indicting injury. The mob were broken and dispersed for the time; but • considerable number again collected and proceeded towards Dukinfield, sacking several shops on their way. At Dukinfield they were received by a body of the county constabulary, under Captain Elgee, who with the assis tance of the military dispersed and drove them back to Stalybridge. Up to this time Ashton remains in an excited state, but none of the people of this place took any part, so far am is known, in the disgraceful proceedings of the mob. Captain Elgee has ordered 50 of the county constabulary to be sent to Ashton, and 50 to Stalybridge. MANCHESTER, Five o'clock. A telegram from the authorities at Ashton was received in Manchester about four o'clock, saying :—" All is quiet. The rioters have returned to Stalybridge. The military remain with us, and have done good service." STALYBRIDGE, MONDAY. A meeting of the relief committee was held at Stalybridge this morning, and in consequence of their Whit ing to their resolution not to give relief in money, but by tickets, all the operatives but eight refused to receive them. Many of them, however, it is thought, have bees frightened into refusal by the general body. The greater part of the applicants went in procession to Ashton, as stated above, and to Dukinfield ; the town, however, is in au ex cited stele, and fresh outbreaks are feared to-night. There are two troops of Hussars under arms and one company o the 49th Infantry. It was reported this morning !het • large i number of men and women left here to go to Oldham and S Hyde, in addition to the mob that proceeded to Ashton. 2 (From the Manchester Guardian of today.) With the approach of evening the streets of Stalybridgs ware again crowded, and at half-past six o'clock Market street, the Hydes, and Melbourne-street were ►lmost i minable. Many of the public-houses in those districts were entered by the mob, some of the landlords were roughly handled, and others were compelled to distribute food and drink. At the Victoria and the Back Inns the mob were extremely demonstra tive, and Mr. Maitland., of the Victoria, was se verely injured. A number of special constables were also attacked, and others driven from the streets to the town-hall. Some of the shops were plundered, but this part of the disturbances was not, at sight o'clock, so serious as in the afternoon, and was conducted without per sonal violence. The number of persona perambulating the streets was estimated at about 12,000. Their amusement appeared to be to jostle the more respectable inhabitants, thrash the Stalybridge police, and beat the shop doors sad window shutters, to the no small terror of the inmates. At the town-hall and police-office acts of violence were reported almost momentarily, hut none of a serious nature. The police and military, consequently, made no attempt to clear the streets, their policy evidently being not to act till the outbreak assumed more serious proportions, or as one of the functionaries at the town-hell expressed himself, "till the mob began to riot." The only appear. once of military being in the town between Ave o'clock and eight was the marching of a picket to relieve some of their compsmocs who were on guard at the District Bank. About half-past eight o'clock the crowd in the centre of the town divided into mobs, as on Saturday night, the ma. jority of them visiting the Castle Hall district. They demanded bread at the shops of Mr. Ralph Whitehead, at Mr. R. Garside's, at Mr. J. Ridpway's, and Mr. Kenyon's. Grosvenor-square. While they were here, about 50 police. men marched down, followed by half a dozen of the cavalry. and an attempt was made to clear the streets. A few stones were thrown at the police, and they were hooted sad yelled at, but noes of them were injured. The mob gradually dis period, but again concentrated in Market-street, and a portion of the infantry was sent to get in advance of them. By 11 o'clock the 'areal& ware perfectly quiet. STOCKPORT. There was some maitement amongst the operatives at Stockport yesterday, in oonsequenon of a new regulation of the Raid Committee which imposes a larger amount of work for the relief eves. Hithetto three or four hours labour per day has been required of the men, and some appear to have worked in the early pert of the day and others towards the close. The committee have decided that the recipients of relief shall attend the workyarll " • • -- durin the whole of the day, and this alteration the men feel aggrieved at, an they say it will deprive them of the opportunity of taking occasional Jobs. Yesterday some of the men ref used to work under the new regulatioo, and during the day they collected in knots round the mien' relief stations in the town, and pre expression to their disapprobation of the altered toluene in hires and 'bouts. but no violence wee nutted to. It was confidently hoped last night that the disagreement will be peaceably ar' ringed• HT DE. COMMITTAL OF FIVE PRISONERS TO THE ASSIZES. A portion of the mob, after Mewing Dukinfield, pro. ceeded to Hyde, when they were joined by a consider• able number of the more nthiehiwrons of the operatives.
