THE opponents of the Ballot in Parliament complain that Mr. BERKELEY should annually bring forward • motion which he knows they are strong enough to defeat. The friends of that reform, however, will think good service is done if be only compels its adversaries to parade year by year the hollowness of the only objections they can raise against it. Lord PALMERSTON is turned to very good account in this way, and his speech last night is only inferior to his immortal oration in praise of " stucco." The noble lord treated the House to two argu ments and a story. His first argument was that Toting is a public duty, and should be performed under a sense of public responsibility ; a most indubitable and important premise, from which he drew the odd conclusion that in the performance of this duty the voter ought to be at the mercy of disturbing private influences, the tenant-farmer being exposed to the displeasure of his landlord, the workman to that of his master, the tradesman to that of his customer, and so forth. This is Lord PALMERSTON'S notion of responsibility. With out contesting his assertion that the protection of the ballot is un-English, we may admit for his lordship's satisfaction that, as far as practice goes, the system he defends is intensely English. His second argument is, that vote by ballot would not protect the voter who did not conceal his opinions from his fellows. This is the idlest of all objections. Partisans form but a small portion of every constituency, and mixed considerations enter into the determination of most voters. Open voting is the practice of the Legislature, yet it is the common complaint of those who have to do with members of Parliament that to the last moment before a division you can never be sure on which aide they will vote. Lord PALMERSTON talked of advocates of vote by ballot as " crushing out " the feelings of Englishmen," but he could only be jolirtz, or he would have asked himself where those feelings are when intelligent and useful members of society, capable of understanding the interests of their country, are driven to the poll to serve the prejudices tsrd rancours of powerful neighbours. The story with which the PREMIER clinched his speech was that the Ballot bad been repudiated and abolished at the headquarters of advanced liberal opinion— at the Reform Club. Advanced liberals will be surprised to find that the Reform Club is one of their strongholds. What its members did last week, however, was this : they found the prac tice of allowing one member's opposition to neutralise the effect of nine members' support of a candidate proposed for membership to be so in jurious to the interests of the general body that they have abolished it, and for a strictly limited time and for a specific purpose they have placed the power of election in a council nominated by the general body. Such is the best opposition which Lord Psotautrrow can offer to the Ballot. The Vivid, tender to the flagship Fisgard, at Woolwich, got up steam yesterday morning at an early hour, and sailed from Woolwich at daybreak for Ostend, to embark the Queen of Prams for England on a visit to her Majesty. The Channel fleet at Portland is under orders on Monday evening to proceed on a few days' cruise in the Channel, and to exercise the crews in gunnery. The iron. cased frigate Royal Oak, Captain F. A. Campbell, will sail from Spithead to join the fleet on the ooncluaion of her trials. Some English capitalists have projected a bank Santiago with ► apit►l of five million dollar.

He had been riding in Haien-row during the morning, and on his return to his residence at the corner of Hertfordstreet, Park.koe, his horse suddenly stumbled, threw him with some violence, and then rolled upon him. Sir Charles was at once taken home and a medical examination showed that his injuries consisted of a severe fracture of the right arm just above the elbow, sod much straining of the muscles of one of his legs. We are happy to say that the reply to inquiries at the house last evening was that Sir Charles was in no danger, and was progressing favourably. L THE EXPRESS, WEDNFSDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1863.

ARRIVAL OF CAPTAINS SPEKE AND GRANT. (87 ILECTRIC TtLEGRAPH.) (7110 N OUR OWN CORREBPONDM7.) SOUTHAMPTON, WzmnaDAT. The Pera has arrived with Captains Speke and I Grant, the discoverers of the source of the Nile. Both gentlemen have nearly recovered from the frightful hardships they have undergone during the last three years. Tbey are tall, well knit men, and well qualified for African travelling. Captain Grant suffered much from fever ; but he nows seems the healthiest of the two. He only experiences pains now from old wounds, having lost part of his hand at the siege of Lucknow. Captain Speke suffered in Africa from a disease in one of his lunge. They describe the countries through which they have passed as marvellously fertile, and they saw large accumulations of ivory on their route ; they have brought home the horns and skull of a gigantic buffalo which they shot near the Equator ; they saw cotton and every tropical product growing with great luxuriance. They have examined the Mountains of the Moon, and found them to be clusters of hills over whose sides torrents of rain flow into the Lake Nyanza, the fountain of the Nile, and cause the periodical flow of that river. They met with deserts to the north and south of the Equator, but com paratively of no great magnitude. Although Capt. Speke had previously visited the Lake Nyanza, be had great difficulty in reaching it this time. They have been robbed of every thing, and stripped nearly naked by the barbarous people whom they • have encoun tered during their travels. Some of their Zanzibar guides would not share the hardships of the travellers and turned back ; but a num ber remained faithful, and accompanied the Englishmen as far as Cairo, where their photographs were taken and have been brought to England ; they are nearly naked, and are gigantic looking savages of various tribes. As soon as the Pera arrived here the consul of Zanzibar and a number of gentlemen went on board to welcome the distinguished travellers and congra tulate them on the discoveries they had made and the fame they have achieved. The Custom house authorities here were instructed by Earl Russell to pass their baggage free, and afford every facility for the travellers to proceed to London. They left here by the 11.35 a.m. train. luirries maws Ax.) THE SIEGE OF PUEBLA. FARM Jui 17.

Freights unaltered. RUSSIAN ATROCITIES IN POLAND. In Lithuania, since the arrival of the new Governor-General Mouravieff, every day has been marked by an execution. On Monday, a telegraphic despatch from Cracow stated that Count Plater bad been hanged at Wilna by order of the governor general, adding that a young student, M. Henri Abicht, and a priest, M. Konaraki, had met with the same fate at Warsaw. The Russian official journals of yesterday contain a list of all the exe cutions which have taken place during the last week at Wilna, amongst which are those of the priest Zszoru, aged 28 years, shot ; Priest Zicmalcki, aged 60 years, shot ; M. de Laskowicz, shot ; M. de Kolysko, hanged. The most illustrious of these victims, Count Leon Plater, bears one of the oldest and moat honoured names in Poland. M. de Kolysko belongs also to an ancient and illustrious family. What adds to the odiousness of these barbarous executions is, that none of the men who have just been struck down were taken with arms in their hands. Count Plater was arrested in his chateau, and the sole complaint made against him by the Russian go vernment was that he had concealed arms. All those who were banded over to the executioner at the same time as Count Plater were arrested before the proclamation of the amnesty. A letter in the Temps of to-day gives a frightful account of the circumstances attending some of these executions. The Abh Ischora, who was shot on the 3rd, in the presence of an immense crowd, at Wilna, was not killed at the first dis charge of musketry, although 12 soldiers are supposed to have fired at him at only a few paces distance. The soldiers re-loaded and fired a second time. Of course, the populace believed that this was done intentionally. Kolysko was hung under most revolting circumstances. A cord was put round his neck while he was on the ground, and he was slowly hoisted up to the platform. By some means he fell, and for ten minutes be was in a atateof great agony, during which time the soldiers struck him several times with their muskets. The people of I Lithuania seem for the moment stupefied with horror. The national committee of the district have issued a proclamation stigmatising these hor rors in the strongest language, and calling on the people to avenge them. The New Raven (U. S.) Journal says that a Cap tain Davis Hatch, of Norfolk, Connecticut, has returned from • visit to the salt mime at the mat end of as, Domingo. He states that there is a mountain there of pure rock salt 10 miles long, 1 miles wide, and CV feet high.

(ram OUR OWN ocasserommar.) PARIS, TOXBOAT EVINIZIG. By the election of M. Guiroult for the sixth cir cumscription the triumph of the opposition in Paris is complete. The government left no stone unturned to prevent it from being said that Paris had " unanimously " rejected all the men recom mended by the administration. It has been signally defeated. M. Gudroult, although he has many personal enemies among the democratic party—although he is suspected (unjustly, as 1 ' have always thought, and still think) of being ready to compound with Napoleonic tyranny, on condition of concessions to certain St. Simonian theories—has beaten both the government and the church, and that by au enormous majority. The close of the poll last night was as follows :—M. Gudroult, opposition candidate, 17,495 ; M. Fouchd Lepelletier, government candidate, 11,016 ; majority forGudroult, 6,479. It had been sedulously averred by the government journals that within the last fortnight the electoral excitement had abated, and that the taking of Puebla would get the govern ment a great many votes. The result shows how mistaken were all these suppositions, and how steady and determined is the tide of opposition which has arisen against M. de Persigny's notions of order and public safety. At the poll of June 1 M. Gudroult had but 11,100 votes, now he has 6,395 more. This accretion of his majority is com posed of about 3,000 votes which on the first occa sion were distributed between the liberal candidates, M. Prevost Paradol and K de Jouvencel, and of upwards of 3,000 more which were given to M. Cochin, the clerical candidate. It is calculated that about 1,500 of M. Cochin's supporters gave their votes this time to M. Fouchd Lepelletier, the government candidate, thinking him a lees evil than such a virulent and powerful enemy of the temporal power as M. Gudroult. Upwards of 2,000 of the Cochin men (Cochin Chinois, as the ribald journals call them) followed the advice of the Monde, Union, and Gazette de France and abstained from voting. These was never before an instance in the history of France of all the members for Paris being hostile to the government. Such a consummation was reserved for Napoleon 111. Whsn, in 1850, the three republicans, MM. Carnot, Vidal, and De Flotte, were returned for Paris at a partial election the burgraves of the Rue de Poitiers Club got frightened, and proposed the law of May 31, restricting universal suffrage. But the Emperor is stopped from resorting to any such remedy on this much greater occasion, because his main plea, and most plausible excuse, for his coup &Rat was the restoration of that universal suffrage which the law of May 31 (assented to him it must always be remem bered)had taken away. Any tampering with the suf frage is now out of the question. The government journals are reduced to extenuate their defeat by the desperate argument that the unanimous opinion of Paris is of no importance when set against the great numerical majority obtained from ignorant peasants by prefectoral drilling. But the Emperor knows better than this ; and in spite of all sinister • rumours, I cannot believe that he will fail to take the warning so unmistakeably given, and which he may so safely act upon. The result of the provincial batotages are all known. The opposition has gained five seats and the government four ; but the go vernment majorities in the four cases were exceedingly small. The Hew opposition members are M. Planat, in the Charente ; M. Maurice Richard, in the Seine-et-Oise ; M. Ancel, in the Seine-Inferieure ; M. Malezieux, in the Aisne ; and M. Jules Favre, in the Rhone. The govern ment new members are M. Curd, in the Gironde ; M. Boitelle, in the Nord ; M. Perras, in the Rhone ; and M. West, iu the Haut Rhin. I anticipated the election of M. West, but had no idea that Count Migeon would obtain against Lim so large a minority, as (in round numbers) 12,000 against 13,000. At Bordeaux, M. Lavertujon has only been thrown out by 40 votes, and that small majority has been obtained by immense pressure by M. Pietro, the prefect, which will be the subject of a protest. It is to be remarked that the 3funitettr, now that M. Curd is elected for Bor deaux, calls him, for the first time, a " govern ment" candidate. M. Pietro had styled him " a sympathetic," and a " non-opposed" candidate. The fact is that he is an honest bourgeois of strong local interest, who was returned as an opposition candidate in 1857, and being dazzled by an invita tion to the Tuileries, abstained on all important questions, instead of voting with the five. It is now certain that the opposition iu the new chamber will count 35, which is the figure I men tioned as probable a fortnight ago. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WEDNISDAT, JCNK 17, 8 A./I. L.

Rio to be entitled to freedom, but who, there is good reason [The case was proceeding when our report left.) to believe, are up to the present time held in bondage, con trary to law and in violation of treaty engagements. I may also refer to Mr. Christie's note to IL d'Abrsotes of the 12th of February last, in which, in obedience to in structions from her Majesty's government, he called the attention of the Brazilian government to the various com munications which he had addressed to the Brazilian go vernment, and which remained unanswered, and claimed for all the Africans who had been liberated by the late mixed commission court unoonditional freedom. To this note, it is true, • reply was returned by the Brazilian government ; but IL d'Abrantes' note of the 28th of February cannot, under the circumstances, and taking into account previous delays, be considered satisfactory. In this note M. d'Abrantes stated that the Brazilian govern meat were studying with earnestness and solicitude the ques tion as to the free Africans, in order to proceed with such discretion and prudence as the case required. But the result is that her Majesty's government are as far as ever from receiving the information repeatedly asked for, and which their treaty engagements in favour of the liberated Africans justify them in demanding. It is, moreover, not out of place on the present occasion to refer to the posi tion of the claims which it was originally proposed should be referred for settlement to the late mixed commission. That commission was appointed with • view to withdraw from diplomatic negotiation the private claims of the sub jects of either government as against the other The &deur cage of such a tribunal was manifest, and the appointment of a mired commission appeared the best means of relieving the two governments from prolonged and embarrassing dis cussioe. It was, therefore, with great regret that her Majesty's government found that a confiictiog interpretation of the terms of the convention by which the commission was constituted became an insuperable bar to the further labours of the commission, which subsequently lapsed ac cording to the terms of the convention. Her Majesty's government could not but regret this unexpected result. But the interpretation which the Brazilian government attached to the convention was wholly incon sistent with the well-known policy of Great Britain, and was one which could not have been admitted by her Majesty's government without • practical reversal of deci sions alresrly made known by them to the Brazilian govern ment. But what comas was adopted by her Majesty's go vernment under these circumstances? In Mr. Christie's note of the 14th April, 1862, the Brazilian government were informed that her Majesty's government were willing to conclude • convention for the establishment of a new commission empowered to discuss all claims except those which occasioned the difficulties which proved fatal to the late communion ; and the proposal thus made by her Majesty's government was in strict conformity with the line which, both with • view to mutual advan tage and to the preservation of friendly relations, they had hitherto pursued in this matter. Hi r Mejenty's govern meat, under these circurustances, are fully justified in *ins til-Lining that up to this time they ace still left without a reply to the proposals conveyed in Mr. Christie's note of the 14th of April, 1862, and that no mere appear to have been taken for the just settlement of various British claims, some of them of long standing and of very considerable amount. Her Majesty's government, therefore, hops that the government id Brazil will, in its future intercourse with Great Britain, through whatever channel that intercourse may be carried on, act with that courtesy which is u,u,' between governments ; and also that the Brazilian govern ment will without further delay frankly enter into the com munication of their views as to the means by which • mettle meet of the long-pending claims may best be arrived at. You will seed a copy of this despatch to the Marquis d'Abrantes, at the same time that you demand your pass ports, ezpressiog the regret of her Majesty's government at this temporary suapersion of diplom die intercourse.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulhurn.) RE COLONEL WAIIGFE—LTAVE TO SURRENDER GRANTED. Mr. Linklater, on behalf of the assignees in this use, said that his Honour had intimated that he would make au an conditional order for receiving the bankrupt's su r - render, without requiring repayment of 7,0. which he had taken away with him, cei the assignees intimating their consent to such a course. It was a mistake to suppose that the creditors Led any sympathy with Colonel Waugh ; they bad only refrained from prosecuting him because they had been great losers. and were not willing to incur further expense. Two meet. fop of creditors, at Poole and at London, had come to that resolution. Since the filing of that petition, the colander his solicitor had obtained from creditors to the amount of 12,0001. their consent to his turret der, being accepted without the repayment of Therefore, at the request of such a large number of credi. ton they consented to an unconditional surrender.

This, of course. wan a request which could not be sanctioned by the boilrmt law. His Honour, after showing, by reference to the ),torsions of the old and new DCVO. that Colonel Waugh could not now be successfully prosecuted for his non-surrender under the old act, observed that he might still be intlictcd. if the creditors thought fit, for other otfencesagainet the bankrupt law. He did not wish to prejudge the case, but what ever the result, the bankrupt would no , be lean stringently dealt with after the surrender than be fore. He therefore, in compliance with the request of the assignees, gave permission for the bthkrupt to 91.1 e. render, but not until 21 days' bad expired from that date, in order that the opposing creditors might have an oppee tunity of obtaining the Lord Chancellor's opinion on the question.

Master Charles Bruce, third son i of the Earl and Countess of Elgin, died at Methven Castle, • Perthshire. About three weeks ago the boy was seised with inflammation of the brain of a rather virulent type. and, as usual in attacks of that malady, became insensible. On Thursday consciousness seemed to have returned, and i hopes were entertained that all might yet go well. These • hopes were, however, doomed to speedy dieappoiatment. On the following day, Friday. at half•psst are o'clock, p.m., he breathed his last. De.ith seemed with. tit pain or suffericg of any kind. It is a consolation to know that, though so widely separated from both patents, Master Charles Bruce was not without the devoted atten tion of the kindest friends. Mrs. Smythe, Methven Castle, cousin to the Earl of Elio, watched over the boy with almost a mother's solicitude during the eutire course of the fatal ma lady —day and night she was by his couch.
