A landlord who does this is no more likely to be suspected of conniving at the overreaching of a tenant than of being guilty of the sale of an unsound horse at a sound price, or of any other act which may improve his banker's balance at the expense of his good name. It is remarkable that, though two tenants com plained, only one appeared at the sovalled I " court," and he bad ceased to " live under " the Squire of Braxted. The fact is, that there is not a more timid class generally than the year-to-year tenant of a small farm. Scratch a Russian and you find a Tartar ; scratch such a tenant and you find a serf. He votes as his landlord directs, or rather, without his landlord's orders, as his land lord votes. Nay, if he holds two farms in adjoin ing divisions of the county, under two landlords of opposite politics, he votes with each landlord, entirely unaffected by political convictions. And this timidity is so engrained in the nature of small farmers, that even where they have leases they are only too apt to follow the same course, so that in a county election even the leaseholders vote to please the landlord, whom they oblige and enrich by their tenancy and capital. It will take generations to work off this evil, which some kinds of agency intensif y ; and as I long as landlords countenance such acts as con fiscating as money forfeited for non-performance of an agreement • sum which has been paid down on account of • valuation, so long will mutual confidence be impossible between landlord and tenant.

W a greatly doubt whetherthe country will be able to make out from the speeches in our Parliamentary Report the reason why the House of Commons did not proceed to consider the case of Poland, ac cording to the arrangement publicly made between Mr. lizzurssav and the Government. It was not for want of information, for the posture of affairs is well known. It was not because the prospect is so satisfactory that we may complacently leave it to unfold itself. It was not be cause the affairs of Poland are not our concern, for English Ministers who pro -claim the policy of non-intervention have been driven by a sense of the obligation resulting from solemn national engagements to interfere even to the extent of suggesting forms for the internal administration of Poland. It was not because discussion would have been prejudicial to the public service. No such argument was brought forward ; and the suggestion is precluded by Lord Patirsairrox's explicit statement to the contrary. And yet, without a word from Lord Paamiasrow, the Leader of the House, or from Mr. HINNI6B; the author of the motion, or from any member accus tomed to advise the House in matters of difficulty, the debate was evaded. We forbear to speculate on the secret causes of this proceeding, so severely, but justly stigmatised by Mr. BOWMAN. Amidst much mystification one thing is clear—the reasons given for postponing the debate were not those on which the majority acted. Mr. Krxor.aas, in recom mending delay, observed that he was at a loss to see how the proposed discussion could be of use. " Of mere declamation in favour of Poland there had " been enough already, and he thought it had pro " duced an ill effect to the cause of Poland." We venture to think that it was precisely a feeling that the resolutionaset down for debate had made a merely declamatory treatment of the Polish question im possible which rendered the majority of the House less willing than on former occasions to enter upon its discussion. Large bodies naturally shun re sponsibility, and in times of difficulty Parliament likes to " drift." A hazy hope was expressed by more than one member that something would happen to save the House the pain of having to make up its mind : France might do something nab, or an accident might happen on the Galician frontier. And the House was actually grateful for the suggestion. In the meantime the foreign policy of England with regard to Poland is repre sented to the world by two public facts—Earl Rusgam.'m declaration that we shall not go to war for Poland, and—our endeavours to replace Poland under the system contemplated by the Treaty of Vienna. The House of Commons has pitiably shrunk from its duty. Will the Lords show no more public spirit! Nor long since we had occasion to review the I manner in which Essex Curates are treated by their Diocesan. A local contemporary gives ns the opportunity of displaying the method which is adopted towards his tenants by one of the County Members. The Bishop of the Diocese has laid down the important opinion that Essex parsons— at least curates—must not mix too much with Essex farmers, and to match the clerical with a lay picture, Mr. Do CANE shrinks from too aloes a contact with the cultivators of the soil, and employs an agent to adjust those burdens of his tenants which he himself will not touch with one of his fingers. The Essex Herald of last Tuesday tells us that " a very peculiar and singular Court was held at "the White Hart Inn, Witham, on the 6th inst, " in the nature of an arbitration or court of " honour, to investigate alleged grievances on the " part of the tenants of the Braxted Hall estate, "sustained at the hands of Mr. Roszar " Psarairsoc, the land agent to CH ARLO! Du " CAN; Esq., one of the Members for North Essex." From the report of the proceedings we learn that for a considerable time past charges have been afloat in the county with regard to that land agent's conduct, and that these reports have become the talk of the market tables ; and from the same bonne we learn that the case which was investi gated was one of a tenant who, having paid 501. to the agent on account of a valuation, complained, when the bargain fell through, by reason, as it appeared, of the tenant's insufficient means, that in the settlement which ensued in respect of the temporary tenancy the agent refused to refund the 501., alleging that it was forfeited. 1 It seems pretty clear that the agent had been employed in working up the rents of the property —a proceeding not usually popular with tenant farmers, and peculiarly undesirable for a Corny Member to adopt in his own county. It seems also clear that the would-be tenant had miarepre eented his means ; but these are not questions of public interest. What we want to point out is, that the first duty which owners of land owe to the public is to attend personally and directly to the management of the estates which they hold. It is something, no doubt, to hunt and shoot, and preserve game, and represent the county, etc Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Jules 22.

DETAILS BEVERL E Y AVALRY RAID AT 'S FORD. (Per the Jura.) NEW YORK, Jules 12, livamme. In consequence of a belief, said to be confirmed, that General Lee bad assembled a large cavalry force between Culpepper Court-house and Beverley's Ford to make a raid into Maryland, General Hooker ordered three brigades of cavalry and 2,000 infantry, with two batteries, all under G enera l Pleasanton, to cross the Rappahannock to counteract Lee's movement. Pl easa nton's force crossed early on Tuesday morning, the right under Bufford at Beverley's Ford, and the left under Gregg at Kelly's Ford, the two being six miles apart. They both moved towards Culpepper on roads converging at Brandy Station, where a junction was to be made. Bid ford crossed without opposition, and the Eighth cavalry advanced to the woods, where they were met by the Confederate cavalry and driven back with heavy lois. The Federal cavalry then charged the Confederates, driving them back to their main body, who were forming in the rear of the woods. General Pleasanton then directed Bufford to charge the Confederates in Bank, whilst the infantry and artillery engaged them in front. Bufford was, however, repulsed, his retreat nearly cut off, and he cut his way out with difficulty. The Con federates then attempted to gain the rear of Pleasanton's force, but did not succeed, and Bufford again pressing them, and the Confederates finding Gregg approaching their own rear, they retreated. Bufford and Gregg then formed a junction at a point six miles south of where the Confederate pickets were first encountered. Gregg had been hotly engaged all the morning on the left, and had driven the Confederates from the river to Brandy Station. At 4 o'clock in the after noon General Pleasanton, ascertaining that the Confederates were receiving infantry reinforce manta, recrossed the river, bringing away his dead and wounded, and 200 prisoners. No definite esti mate of the Federal loss has been received, but the fighting was severe and hand to hand. One corps of General Hooker's army still remains on the south side of the Rappahannock, below Fredericks burg. Official advice. from Vicksburg to the Bth inst. state that the siege was progressing satisfactorily. Three divisions from General Bragg's army were reported to be marching to join General Johnstone. Breckenridge bad already joined him. Grant was being reinforced. Grant's total loss since crossing the Mississippi is estimated at 7,000 men. Advice. from General Banks to the 4th inst. have been received at General Grant's head-quarters announcing that the siege of Port Hudson was pro gressing favourably. Southern despatches from Mobile to the 4th inst. state that the Federate had been repulsed at Port Hudson, and that General Banks had lost an arm. The provost-marshal, his assistant, and the enrol lug officer were fired upon near Manville, Indiana, whilst making an enrolment. The two former were killed, and the latter escaped. Two military companies were sent from ludianopolis to the some of the murder. The governor of Illinois has prorogued the state legislature till the 18th inst. Sixty-five repub licans left the legislature, thereby preventing a quorum, but the democrats refused to recognise the prorogation, and entered a protest against the governor for unconstitutional usurpation, and the revolutionary breaking up of the legislature. The governor's pretext for his action was, that there was disagreement between both houses on the subject of adjournment. Great indignation was manifested among the democrats. General Hascall has been superseded by General Wilcox. NEW YORK, Ana 13. The New York journals publish advises from Puebla to the Ist inst., received via Havana, stating that the Mexicans who surrendered at Puebla numbered 12,000. Their surrender was necessitated through hunger. It was rumoured that General Ortega and several Alms had escaped whilst upon the road to Vera Grua. The officers refused to sign a pledge t 3 remain neutral during the war. THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG. NEW YORK, Jinn 13, MORIMIO. There is nothing decisive from Vicksburg. An early attack upon General Grant's rear is considered probable. Southern advioes are very hopeful. They state that General Pemberton has reported that he could bold Vicksburg, and that General Johnstone was to take his time to organise his forms. They also assert that Kirby Smith with 10,000 men has occupied Milliken's Bend, 20 miles above Vicks burg, cutting off General Grant's supplies. Northern accounts state that there was fighting along the river from Lake Providence to within sight of Vicksburg, and that a revere fight occurred at Milliken's Bend upon the 6th inst., the Federal forces, consisting mostly of negro regiments, being driven to the bank of the river under cover of the gunboats. Advice; from New Orleans to the sth inst. state that batteries were constructed along the entire Federal line at Port Hudson, and would open against the enemy on the 6th Mat. General Leo is said to be heavily reinforced upon the Rappahannock, and to have nearly double the number of troops be had at Chancel lorsville. He is daily expected to assume the offensive. A. small Confederate cavalry force advanced to within three miles of Poolesville, Maryland, driving a company of Mictigan cavalry into the town and burning their camp. They afterwards recrossed the Potomac. The New York Herald thinks General Lee's plan is to envelope Harper's Ferry, and then to move General Stuart's cavalry across Maryland into Pennsylvania upon a destructive raid, which would cause General Hooker's army to be broken up to go in pursuit of General Stuart, and General Lee would then crush Hooker's remaining forces upon the Rappahannock and push on to Washington. Two new military departments have been created in Pennsylvania., under Generals Couch and Brooks, who have summoned all citizens between 18 and 60 years of age to organise for defence, subject to the call of the commanding general. The Governor of Pennsylvania has issued a proclamation urging the people to respond promptly. The enrolment commissioners have been driven out of some counties in Indiana, where excitement continues to prevail. The governor has solemnly warned the people against resisting the govern ment. . . . The Southern conscription is being resisted in North Carolina. The Democratic State Convention of Ohio, after having unanimously nominated Mr. Vallandigliam for the governorship, appointed a committee to de mand his release of the President. Resolutions were passed declaring that the democracy would hail with delight the expression of a desire on the part of the seceded states to return to their alle giance, and would oo•operate with the citizens of time states to restore peace. Mr. Vallandigham is said to have reached a Southern port, intending to sail for Nassau.

This is especially the case n the government of St. Petersburg, which is in cessantly traversed by troops on their way to the Baltic provinces and to the western part of the empire. The Russian army in Poland is raised to 150,000 regular soldiers, and is daily augmented. The greatest activity prevails in the fortresses, the arsenals, and the depots. All the Baltic forts are armed and planed in a state of defence. Croustadt and all the naval dock yards present a very animated spectacle. The officers and soldiers on leave are rejoining their respective regiments. The city of St. Petersburg is surrounded with a cordon militagre ; the exami nations of the passports of the persons ar riving is very scrupulous, and the lug gage of persons leaving is subjected to a severe examination, as the export of lead, sulphur, and scythes is absolutely forbidden. The engineers had decided some time ago to raze the fortifications of Narwa, and the works bad already commenced, but on the Bth the order arrived to stop the demoli tion, and to rebuild what had bean destroyed. It has been observed for some time that the insurgents frequently attack the Russians in the neighbour hood of railway lines, and that they impede communication upon the line from Berlin to St. Petersburg, especially upon the section between Kowno and Wiles. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nod ous OW ooial6roirour.) PABlf3, MoimAT Evmairct.. The Indipendance Beige says positively that Vis count de la Gueronniere was lately sent for to Fon tainebleau. This news lends some importance to an article in his paper, the France, headed "On the Rumours of a Change of Ministry." The France argues in its usual wordy style that if any changes are to take place, foreign policy will have nothing to do with them, for the conclusive reason thgt the present foreign policy of the imperial go vernment is perfection. But if—and this "if" is repeated several times, showing that the writer was instructed to be cautious—the "changes generally supposed to be contemplated by a sovereign initia tive" are to take place, the France hopes they will be of such a nature as "to produce in the country the soothing effect which is necessary after the emotions of the electoral struggle," and such as will enable the government to present itself to the new chamber a few months hence " with the hon our and strength of a pacified situation." This can only mean that M. de Persigny is to be turned out. The Nation says, this evening, in the approved Sargon relating to such matters, " that rumours of ministerial modifications have acquired additional consistency." Of course the denial of these reports, which may be expected to appear in the Constitts tionnel and Pays, will be no evidence at all of their untruth. The organs of ministers in power always deny that they are going out. It is quite in accord ance with precedent that the first intimation of a ministerial crisis should be made through the agency of an outside organ like the France. M. Rouher, the Minister of Commerce, was un expectedly sent for to Fontainebleau, when he was about going in another direction, and Bather's I Correspondence connects this visit with the above rumours, and with the belief that M. Rouher is to t fill a highly influential position in a re-organised ministry. The Pays is now instructed to discredit the article in the Detrats of which it took, no notice yesterday. It treats the idea of France wishing to act alone in the affairs of Poland, after having been at so much pains to bring about an under standing between the three powers, as an absurd calumny. An important electoral decision has been pro nonnoed by the Council of State. In September last year M. de Bonnier, a Paris barrister and an elector of the Loir-et-Cher, was refused permission by the prefect to " oopy " the electoral list, although the law expressly says that every elector LAW INTELLIGENCE. (IRIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. After Tenn Sittings at Nisi Prins at Wertminster. —(ffefore Load Chief Justine Cockburn and a Special Jury.) DICKSON V. LORD CONNZEIRKI AND MOM This was the fifth day of the hearing of this ewe. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., ILL Doman, Q.C., and Mr. Gordan Allen were oonee4 for the plaintiff : the Attorney-Oeurral sad Mr. Dowdeswell for General Peel ; Mr. Swill. Q.C., and Kr. Field for Lord Combermere ; and Mr. Lnab, Q.C., and Mr. Maward for Lord Wilton. One of the jury at the sitting of the noun asked the learned comma to be as short as possible in their addraesea They had already been hero four days. The Lord Chief Justice said it was a case of conaiderable perplexity. The leaned counsel, however, promised to be brief as possible. Mr. Bovill then addressed the jury for Lord Combermere. He referred to the great age of this veteran, his brilliant and lengthened career in the military service of his country, the honours be bad won, and the respect, esteem, and veneration he was held in, and observed Mr. Coleridge well said in his opening address for the plaintiff that it was not of each stuff conspirators were made. He also referred to the brilliant oratory' of the learned rural and his masterly address, which had not been surnamed in Westminster-hall, which could not have failed to prejudice their minds against Lord Combennere. That learned cooruirl delivered parts of his address, particulaHy that with reference to Lieut.-Colonel Dickeon's interview with Lord Combermere, with so much dramatic effect as could not fail to make an impression on them, bat he hoped to be able not only to neutralise it., but to effec tually dissipate from their minds any impressions they might have imbibed advents to that noble lord. The learned counsel then proceeded to state that Lord Combermere was not on personal intimacy with Lord Wilton, but only on formal malting teems with him, and thea alluded to his lordship's age. He was in his ninety-fourth year, and, though he had attended the proceedings on one or two occasions, he was so deaf that he could sot bear what was going on, and when the learned counsel for the plaintiff was attacking him in his opening address the noble lord was about to leave until his son, Admiral Cotton, told him his ear was being alluded to, and be had better stay, upon which his lordship remained. When those charges were first made the noble lord ears sed his determination to go into the witness box, but that would not be permitted. Lord Combermere bad attained so great an age and wee suffering so muck from dropsy and suppressed gout that the least excitement might cause him to drop dead instantly in the box, and therefore he would not take upon himself the responsibility of placing him in the wither box. He should take Lieut.-Colonel Dickson's etre ment, coupled with other facts, and be would ask them with confideor to may there was not the slighted pre teens for suggeeting that Lord Combermere could be guilty of the baseness he bad been charged with. The learned coin eel then referred to the noble lord's career, and his great knowledge of the profession, as proof of his competency to form an opinion what was the restorability and duties of an officer. Lord Combermere's first proordiag was to go with Lord Wilton and CoL North to the Hone Guards, aod ask for • court.martial, which, however, could not be granted, as the regiment was disembodied, and the Horse Guards had no power or control over the miner. They were referred to the War-office and saw General Peel, who called Mr. hiarshalLwho was at the head of the depart ment, and desired him to give the necessary information. A. court of inquiry gen erally precede, • court martial, being • preliminary proceeding like the inquiry of • grand jury, is that an inquiry could not then properly be directed. It was then arranged that the papers should be sent to the War-office, which was doe% Lord Combermere having first ascertained that the charges were well founded. Whether he was right or wrong in coming to that opinion was now for them to in quire, but it must not be forgotten that the same opinioes were formed by the officers at the Wareffice on the papers submitted to them by Lord Cosibermers, coupled with Lieut.-COL Dickson's explanations. The course now complained of by Lieut.-Colonel Dickson was the same as be adopted in getting rid of his junior officers. If Lord Wilton's representations to Lord Combermere were sufficient to get rid of junior officers without • court-mar tial by calling oo them to resign, what right bad be to complain of Lord Combermere's acting on Lord Wilton's representations in reference to him self! Surely if Lieutenatt-Colonel Dickson claimed the right to get rid of his junior officers on his representation by calling on them to resign, Earl Wilton had a right to exercise the seine powers when based on good and substan tial grounds. Mr. Coleridge said the parallel would have been complete if Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson had resigned. Mr. Bovill said the parallel was complete as it was. The learned counsel minutely examined the numerous docu ments in the nee, which he said showed that everything had been dons in the most regular meaner, and after every opportunity had been afforded to the plaintiff to explain the charges that were made against him. Lord Com. bermes had acted throughout for the benefit of the sinks and from the conviction of his heart. Lord Combermere, notwithstanding, was accused of having made false charges; but, so far from their being any foundation for it. he had to grapple with • shadow, and was only called upon to give these explanations in vindication of character, and not in exculpation ot a crime. There was DO pretence for imputing error of judgment to the noble lord for the authorities on the same paten bad come to the Lady Molesworth entertained at dinner, last evening, at her residence, in Eaton.place, the Marchioness same conclusion, and after the 9th June all Lord Comber oforgan of communication ; iag Ely, the Marquis of Sligo, the Marquis of Bristol and men did was on two =lesions t o traasmit leav Parrs Lady Adelina Hervey, the Earl and Counter of Donough- " the effiew the Secretary for War to deal with the on the advice more, Lord William Compton, Viscount Sudeley.

VIA ILES EMBANKMENT (SOUTH SIDE) BILL. This bill was considered sod ordered to be read a third time to-morrow (Wednesday). VACCINATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. DUNLOP suggested that the house should only go into committee on this bill pro toms for the purpose of in @forting some amendments which had been suggested. Sir E. COLEBBOOKE supported this advise, but thought that the bill should rather be sent before a select committee. The LORD ADVOCATE had introduced the bill in coo. gequenoe of the urgent representations which had been made to - him on the subject ; acid whatever amendments might be needed beyond those in the notice paper could be illiert.4l is the report. The finnan= then left the chair. On clause 1, Mr. DUNLOP said the College of Physicisse of Edin burgh had not in a list of objections, which had much struck hint. They objected in particular to the appointmest of public vaccinatora They thought that the medical officer of the parish was quite sufficient ; and there was maw to think that the proposed enactments would tend rather to retard than facilitate the spread of vaccination throughout the country. The LORD ADVOCATE thought that the difficulty could be wily obviated. It was never intended to prevent private vaccination, but the object of the bill was to create an authorised officer who s ho uld have an interest in seeing that vaccination was properly does. He proposed in clause 11, to insert words recognising vaccination by private prac titioners, but rendering it still necessary for the vaccinator to give the certificate mentioned in the set. Mr. FINLAY suggested that there should be an itine rant vaccinator for thinly ropulated district.. The LORD ADVOCATE did not see any reason why that proposition should not be adopted. (Left sitting.)
