POLE, Sir ions PAZINGTON, Of Mr. GLADSTONE! This is a gut scion at present puzzling and perplexing the Tories. 'fee Quarterly Ritvieto lately promised the party that great guns should be fired off in the next sesetot. of Parliament. Undisturbed by the threatened volleys, Lord PALMERSTON has had the spirit and ; he sense to summon it tossed at the usual time. Tau therefore. begins to press. And, if the Tory plu' s are ready, who is to execute and direct them in Ice Commons? It le pa r', ate to aid in the solution of this question that Mr. l‘ttAdt has suddenly withdrawn himself to Paris. I ere, at all events, he is out of the way of &lib,' • Gns and negotiations which must be difficult at: &limits so far as he is individually con cerned. it. re, too. he may be receiving inspirations from a bi l e.: guider to enable him to make a distin guished p r• nal (se contrasted with a party) figure ant sew. n, by representing and advocating the in terests of it may be those of Rana also, in the Como. t. Hound Parliament. In that Ins of tiantme e s, t, wee, be will have to sacnntsr the rivalry of Mr. GLAD-roes, who is quits as ready as be can be to depr ..s English interests; unless, indeed, it be true Mi. %Ir. Out:deems is ready and willing to take his Otte in the leadership of the party, and to comedy strongly " in the new character of a truly British pi. tt and u the Earl of DIABI . II right hand man. Per the Tory party has not, it msy be pre sumed, PeZt.W. d up its courage to give the "Very Tybalt," tno cwner of thousands of broad acres, that notice to quiz which it has either actually served, or is about to serve, on the lsokland tenant at will, whose s) mu and fantastic oratory perplexes the heads of country gentlemen, and whose irregular practices .round their pride. And yet the real weak ness of rto Tory position arises far more from Lord Dune's :eve...rats habitat °needles public affairs into per. 'nal sport, than 'yea from the hollow pomp of Mr. Dannett's periods, the manifest vacuity of him plan. or the transparent insincerity of his profeesioe.e. That ',Aar change in the leadership of the Oppo sition is now under discussion is generally asserted and believed. The body of county members who refuse, to uye: toe lacgsage ascribed to Mr. W. MILES on the oceise. , in of the discreditable Kan motion, "to be r:rairg-d through the dirt" by such pro ceeding. ne Mr. Durum, though with the approval of Lord Deacy, hassansticeed, is far too numerous to admk e? their much longer submitting to his leadership in the Commons. That leadership is fluc tuating and fi eble. It is founded on no principles, and it her no et fined plans. It is occasionally very inconveownt to the Government by its tricks and its surprise.; but what credit can a great party, the great lei,e:sd ii.terest of the kingdom, acquitn by sue artitices ? These itemises are often very wouderfsi. as well as provoking; but they are digntfied, anti they are sometimes very discreditable They gie quite se much annoyance to those who support as to those who oppose them, but they do less harm to their opponents than to their ...o., , eters. It is all right end proper for a !o trip up, if he can, the heels of a flying pickpock t. Put to be continually attempting to trip up tt. L: .1 of a Government on a successioo of small aid or worthy occasions, without ever daring to attack at be dry by a vote of want of confidence, and withal' 'otitis prepared to take the consequences of an oe. esional success, is a policy to which no ' oratoriere. rowers can reconcile either party or the' country. A' yet this is the only policy which has diatinger -lied Mr. Disaant's leadership in the Com mons, I do impartial jastios, Lord Danny's in the Lord.. Who r to Ia gracefully slain on the altar of Opp aition recr:.• .tion as a sacrifios foe peat sins is, however. wised= in which Liberals are far lees interested Lh.e in the inquiry who, it Mr. Disiszi4 has to b up, will be his samba ? It an hardly br Ur. N'steotx. He is utterly deficient in all the q:. dime of a leader. He has neither know- ledge r, r riuquence, neither foresight nor tea to rally party around. Although since his eon anion w...h the University of Cambridge hie dimi nished a. rt eiminiehing liberality might reconcile the more ultra—the Stootenns, the NEWDEGATBS, Of the , Opposition—to his Leadership, the contrast between his weakness and Mr. Dmiunts forge would be generally intolerable. If Mr. WALPOLI NW not lead the party, it may be fairly promoted that, with his advancing liberality, Sir JOHN PAIONOTON would not. Sir JOHN remaine, indeed, swag the Tories, bat be is not of them. He may, by virtue of former associations, and ander the Mosses of bad habits which cling to the best of as, occasionally make the party a present of a smelt when it is badly of for oratory, in order to pay for his " stall d'orehestre" in the Hones of Common,. Bat Sir Josz is moving, thinking, and acting in a way and at a rate which is raptly leaving a huge diatoms between him and the party to which be still nominally balmy. He can, moreover afford to keep a poli tical conscience, and it will one day render the separation complete. So also of Lord &UNLIT. And as for Mr. Hmu.zr, he is far too ham in criticising detai/s ever to rim to principles, and has, it is understood, u little desire again to assume *Mos as to lead a party. Batsmen a continuance of Mr. DISRAELI a mis management, and a reset to Mr. OLantrroirs's dexterity, there appears to be no medium for the Opposition is the House of Cowmen To this amp from the Scylla to the Charybdis of Tory ism thinp are said to be now tending. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1856. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. The Mats of this day says: '" We believe we are ibis to state with some oar tsinty, that England, in entering the Conference, distinctly declare that she will conform to the deci sion of the majority, whatever that decision may be. The relative position of the dimpstants is no secret; oa one side, Frames, Rosa* and Prussia; on the other, Ragland, Austria, and Turkey; in the middle, Sardinia, which, coinciding originally with the opinion expressed by Francs, is now, it is said, oscillating between the two." annglag that patilie opinion which ,in the long run,la lIIMIt blind to ha own tree intonate.

I further remind you, that is either case, the reports which you will 'Urges to me must be accompanied with documents, thewieg the grounds for your reports, and particularly by the reports of the sub-prefects of all urondissemeste, other than the principal arrondiesentent of your department. ffieceivit, Monsieur I. Frefet, tte., BILLAVLT. The Bourse opened with some animation, - bet prices soon gave way. It was feared that the Bank of France will not decide to-morrow to discount bills with 90 days to run. It was also said that the increase in the bullion proceeds entirely from pur chases of the precious metals from abroad, and not from any natural tendency to improvement. There were also sinister reports afloat as to the state of affairs at Naples--some people saying that the King of Naples was dead, although it is doubtful, accord ing to some despatches, whether he is even wounded. The Bente fell 100. both for Gash and account, closing at 1371 k. 700. and 68fr. Mobilise fell 16fr. Railways were better supported than the Rents, and most of the lines closed from 21k. 600. to Mr. higher. The Council General of Bridges and Highways has adopted the plan submitted by the principal engineer of the Buses Pyrenees for making Bayonne a sea port. The works on both banks of the Adorer will be commenced immediately. THE TWO SICILIES. (7110 X OCR NAPLES, Dia. 4. We have no fresh intelligence from Sicily, the wind having blown a hurricane, even the Sunday mails having been retarded until to-day. The following additional particulars have, however, been given to ON of an &gouge which either was or is. Coeicons was one of several places where it broke out, and the 7th battalion of Cacciatori had been sent against it from Palermo. Meanwhile the steamers in port here, instead of being disarmed for the winter, have been fully coaled and provisioned, and have orders to be in readiness at two hours' notice. The disturbances seem to have taken the form of a guerilla warfare, having broken out almost simultaneously in varions parts. Thus proprietaire, called Bentivegna, and an advocate, of the name of De Marco, leaving Palermo, commenced a movement at Megrogurio, a place about twenty miles distant. The Baron Auto seems to have headed a movement in another direc tion. He wu well known in Palermo, and has, I believe, been recently pardoned for some of fence,—but until justice be done in this country, the Two Sidles will be a „ foyer de revolu tion," and every amnestied person a nu cleus of discontent. Certain emigrants, too, have landed on parts of the coast, and have thus added fuel to the fire. As a consequence, troops hays been dispatched to the seat of disturbance. On the 28th of November 800 soldiers were sent from Palermo by sea, a battalion of Cacciatori having previously been pent by land. Letters from military men, or from members of their families, say, "All the (awl lies of officers have left or are leaving for terra firma. I am thinking of doing the same thing, and shall leave for Naples with my father by the first steamer." Another letter says : "Now that I am writing to you, the let battalion of the 7th Caociatori is leaving, and the Ist battalion of the line for Palermo. The Bth regiment has left Oirgenti, and perhaps also the 13th of the line. The fleet I. about to leave. From some other point I will writ* to you." At Villa Prati h►d arrived the 7th battalion of the Cacciatori, and half a squadron of cavalry, without having been able to effect any ope ration. " Armed bands traversed several communes without shedding blood, and distributed tricoloured cockades. The polies of Palermo had made nu merous arrests of person■ of all ranks. During the night patrols of troops, of gen. dames and policemen traverse the suburb., questioning every one with whom they meet. The city is tranquil, and the theatres ars open and frequented." Such is the amount of information which I have to commusicate—it does not come down later than lut Sunday. Numerous reports are flying about, but I do not give them credit, as I can not asoutain the foundation for them. So many days have elapsed since we heard from Sicily, that the emerde may have been put down, or it may have made considerable bead. His Majesty is still in Naples, and will probably remain here until after Dec. 8. The effect of his re sidence here has been to crowd the city with gendarmes and policemen. No acts of violence ur illegality, as far is I can hear, are committed in Naples, where the greatest tranquillity exists, and will continue to do so. Signor Bianchini exercises the best inflames in the capital, but beyond it I fear that the same excesses as ever are committed in the provinces. On the 17th November the Capri, Neapolitan steamer, was discovered to be on fire. The captain and onions of the Lombardo steamer (Sardinian) there upon boarded her and extinguished the fire. The captain of the Lombardo is called Dodero. The French steamer, doe last Sunday, Nov. 30, not yet in— Deo. 3. She has met with some accident and has put into Nice. The Neapolitan boats from Her mitics are said to be much superior to the French boats in speed, safety, and machinery. Vbe Court. MORNS, Dso. 10.

Two corps d'ermie are also ready to advance to the Austrian frostier. THE QUESTION OF The memorial on the Neufchatel question, com municated to the several cabinets of Europe by the Swiss government (as mentioned in yesterday's Ex press) occupies 92 quarto pages. It is understood to proceed from the pan of Colonel Burman, the Swiss minister at Paris. The writer passes in review—the origin of the sovereignty claimed by the King of Prussia; the conditions under which this so vereignty was conceded; the vicissitudes to which it has been subject; the reserves socam. panying the entry of Neufchatel into the Helvetic aufeclaration, in 1818 ; the inconveniences that arose from the undefined situation of the canton; the dangers which led to the re-establishment of the former state of things; and, finally, the interest which Switzerland and Europe have in the maintenance in all its integrity of the political rlgime established since 1848. It is now stated by the continental journals that the question will be brought before a conference at Landau, although the arrangement in repugnant to the King of Prussia, who prefers the arbitration of the Emperor of the French. The Federal government has summoned to Berne I I Colonel Ziegler, who had held the chief command of l the troops encamped last year in Eastern Switzer- land. In 1847 ke was at the head of one of the five divisions called oat on the occasion of the Bonder band. It appears, beyond doubt, says a letter from Neufchatel of the 4th, that the presence of this dis tinguished °Meer at Berne is connected with the arrangements which the war department is at pre sent adopting in ordor to be in a condition to meet all eventualities. TURKEY. We read in the Pays of Paris :—" A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople announces that Rua Bache, Minister at War, is no longer a member of Reschid Paella's cabinet. We do not know the reasons fat his retirement, nor whether his succemor has yet been nominated. Bat at all events the news, should it be confirmed, proves that the ministerial difficulties at Constantinople are not over." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE PREFECTS.

It may be all very true that our common law was opposed to the pretensions of the Americans, and even that, as you state, their own most eminent judges had confirmed the decisions of our Admiralty court.. But this did not touch the facts of the sac as they wire presented to our govern meat In 1864, wheat it was unmistakeably evident that the American people were determined that their merchant ships should not be visited and searched by our cruisers; and that any attempt to revive the pro ceedings which lid to the rupture of 1812 would be resisted, would load to bloodshed, and would, to all probability, end in a war between the tweet's:item.

NAVIGATION OP THE TIGRIS AND COTTON CULTIPATION: Yesterday morning a meeting of the directors of the Manchester Commercial Amociation took place for the purpose of givieg an audience t 3 Colonel Moss'aid Bey, chief of the staff of the Puha of Bagdad, a gentleman con nected with the effort making to improve the navigation of the river Tigris, and who has come to Europe in order to purchase stamen eatable to the proposed navigation. In the courts of a convenation which followed, the colonel , stated that Mr. Baum, British via-consul at Mosul, ' had tried the experiment of growing cotton, and bad no caded, not only is fact bat in a commenial point of view. No 'outplay bad a yet been formed at Bagdad; bat all that was required was a little capital to commence with, and ha had no doubt that cotton cultivation might succeed, and he believed for this purpoes 15,0001. to 20,0001. would be quite sufficient, for which a monthly interest might be paid. This wu supposing the messy wets expended in irrigating the gardens and alibi& the seighboarhood of Bagdad. Casco, a director of the association, put several ques tions to the colossi as to the growth of cotton in the neigh bourhood of Bagdad; and the colonel stated that a small quantity was at present produced sad wed by the inha bitants (or their own consumption, but for want of proper means its preparation use very szpearive. Mr. Cx.roci did not think it advisable at present that any public company should undertake the experiment, but thought the natives themselves should be induced to com mence the growth of cotton as much 111 possible, but on a small male at first, and the experiment might be undertaken afterwards on a lerger male it they succeeded. Re referred to the cultivation of cotton on the wort coast of Africa as being on a larger scale than was generally 'opposed, and thought the time was come when chambers of commerce and associations like this should do all in their power to encourage such undertakings. He thought it very desirable some individual should be induced to go to Bagdad to see what could be dose to induce the people to cultivate the cottoa plant. Evidently what they required was not money so much as instruction and guidance. After souse remarks from Wm. Gibb (who presided to the absence of the president and vise. president), and others, a vote of thanks was given to Col. bloss'ond Big for his at tendance, and the information he had given, sad the meeting than separated. Count de La Rochefoucauld, attache to the French Ligation at Frankfort, bu arrived in Paris for the purpose of procuring the ratification of the treaty eonoerning liter ary property, concluded between the city of Far kfort and the French governrneut._ The officers of the Russian squadron now at Cher boars returned a few days ago at the Hotel de Ville, with a splendour and brilliaaey each as had before been witnessed at that plats, the ball given them by the authorities of that port. Upwards of 600 persons were invited, Including the notabilities of the department. In addition to a numerous *reheats', the band of the Russian squadron was preesat and played alternately Preach and Raul= aim.

During the evening (says Golignsuse) refreshments of the most delicate kind were distributed fn profusion, and about one o'clock in the morning the ladies were invited to place themselves round a large buffet, placed in the Salon da Musks, and supplied with every luxury of the lesson, and on leaving the table each lady had a bag of bonbons presented to her. The Times observes that Russia, in her late me morandum (published in yesterday's Express), admits that the maps were faulty, and strengthens the admission by protesting against being supposed to be responsible for their ' production; neat, she states that the fault consisted in this, that t►e town of Boland, instead of being atte►ted at some distance from Lake Yalpuek, a backwater of the Danube, as delineated in the map, actaally touched the noettern ex tremity of the lake; and, thirdly, the does no: deny, sad by not denying admits, that the was well aware of this error of the map at the time she made the agreement with the Allies, and used her knowledge to overreach and deceive them. Russia stands upon her agreement that the boundary line should be drawn to the south of Bolgrad, the capital of the Bulgarian colonise, and this agreement she obtained, first, by suppressing the truth that Bfigrad, the capital of the Bulgarian colonies, communicates by Lake TA!puck with the Danube ; aad, secondly, by the Wee eaggeetion that tt-e Bolgrad which was shown on the map is the same Bolgrad which she bargains to retain, instead of being an insignificant village, which, now that its name on the map has answered its par pose, she will not condescend to call by that neat, but con temptuously designates u • plass called Tsbek.
