THE House of Corm no r m 4 w hi c h b e li eves i n so few things, appears ieliced to pat faith in the lash. We speak me rely of its disposition, because we fail to &stover ,u any of the speeches in sup- Pert of Mr. ADD MILEY% Bill reasons for a firm conviction that fi , jigging garotters will really con duce to the safes yof society. The bill appears to be little more t' As sn en expression of a vague feeling that aomethb ag must be done,"as if blind, blunder ing activity we se less mischievous than calm investi gation. TI A e country is invited by the bill to distrust rer coning, cast away experience, and fall back esi natural impulses. There is a strong tendency in rude states of societies to believe that ruffi anism is bait met with ruffianism. It is only late a that law makers acquire the patience which c an weigh social consequences, and regard them r a more important than the immediate grati fioatio aof the instinct of self-defence. In the debate on W ednesday it was quietly assumed by the advo- Cate , iof the bill that opposition to it could only pro .feed from tender sensibility for the criminal. In the mouth of Colonel NORTH, such an ainump tie in has its obvious explanation, but it is un worthy of anybody with pretensions to statesman r hip. The punishment of the lash has been aban doned, with many other vindictive modes of punish ment, in deference to the slowly matured con 'Motions of society, founded on long experience ; "and the reputation of Parliament is lowered when, forgetting this fact, it restores the pur'sbment under the influence of an expiring panic. If cri minal legislation is not to follow the ebb and flow of populrt sentiment, it must not originate in temporary feeling. Just now ferocity is the fashion, and its imprint is to be stamped on the statute. By a law as sere as that which governs the tides, a reaction will take place, and then sentimental leniency will have a run. Men are not so barbarous as they sometimes to; to persuade themselves. The very persona who are now declaring that no infliction is too severe for the garotters, were indignant a few years ago be cause some scoundrels in the Birmingham Gaol were handled too roughly. And we venture to say that if, in consequence of this bill, a dozen garotters get their backs well scored-1 result we do not look for—those who now oppose it sr*" not be the first to cry out in pity. To make his tall all harmless as possible, Mr. ADDZZLIT provide for the safe keeping of his flogged prisoners Sc, the rest of their lives. In the name at social se curity we protest against the turning loose on the country of men who have been reduced to desperation by the lash. In a recently published blin-book there is a correspondence between the Governor of Western Australis and the Governor of Tasmania which can hard3y have escaped Mr. ADDIALKIN notice. The Governor of raamania had on hand MOMS convicts of almost demoniac malignity, and he appears to hays conceived a hops that his col league might have some means of managing them which he himself could not bout. The Governor of Western Australia declined to take charge of theee pupils, and in his reply declared his con viction that only the nee of the lash and chain could have so brutalized human beings. But we cannot afford to have punishments applied in oar gaols which make amis too bed even for penal colonies. Tann series et diplomatic correspondence on the affairs of North Ametios have bcen pub lished as Parliamentary Papers. The Seat of these consists of letters and despatches between Bari Russell, on the one part, and Lord Lyons, and, during his absence front Washington, Mr. Stuart on the other part. Most of the letters refer to cotton, the extent of the supply, and the impediments to trade in that article; others refer to the protection of British subjects, pertienlarly against drafting, and ooesaionally to the internal politics of the Union and the progress of the war. There is at page 41 • letter from 1 ord Lyons written just after the sue eases of the Democratic party—the " peace party' , as some called them—in the elections, in which he states that several leaden or that party had sought interviews with him, and told him that a proposal of foreign interventica at that time was inoppor tune, and would weaken them and strengthen the war party. He remarks that before the elections an inclination to a pesos policy was so ill received that a strong declaration in favour of war was thought necessary by the democratic leaders, who accordingly were at the date of his letter elamouring for a more vigorous prosecution of hostilities. Referring to the opinions of those who recommend Mediation as preliminary to the recognition of the Southern government, Lord Lyons says, "I do not clearly understand what advantage is expected to result from a mere recognition and I presume the Buro peen powers do not contemplate breaking the blockade by force of arms, or engaging in hosti lities with the United States in support of the independence of the South." With reference to the apprehensions of some who feared an attack on Canada in the event of a recon struction of the Union, Lord Lyons writes "If the reconstruction be still possible, Ido not think we need conclude that it would lead to an invasion of Canad►, or to any consequences in jurious to Great Britain." The 'mond amiss of papers is made up of letters to and from Earl Russell and Mr. Mason, prin cipally from the latter. The Confederate agent is at great pains to show that England ought not to respect the blockade, and that she shou4 moog • the Southern government. The third series is the moat imPieltimit: the respondents are Earl Russell and Mr. Adams, the subject is the Alabama, and the grievances which the government of the United States con t ud,pn her constriction and fitting out in Eng- Iliere is a gest deal of warmth and some bitterness in this wrreepondenoe, which, however, appears to have ►.,c.en suspended as long ago as the 26th of January ; , and not to have been renewed. LATIOT INTELLIOI:27OIs. TAE . EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENIX4 THE ARMY IN MEXICO. The Indipendanee hake of yestarty 'venlig saye _ . . if we are well informed, there was yesterday at the Palace of the Tuileries a council of marshals, the deliber ations of which had reference to affairs in Mexico. The delays of the expedition, and the expense which it sated* are at Paris, in high governmental quarters, a subject of very marked discontent. This feeling la ex hibit e d in all kinds of rumours, which if they are not well founded do not the less disclose the state of things. The most remarkable of these are one about the meal of the army and the conclusion of some kind of peace with Juarez; another, the substitution for Cameral Poesy of soot►er chief, or at leaat the curtailment. of his pewee% so that Dubois de Ssligny should rearm* the diplomatic functions of which he had been &lair, of. EleikESii FROM PARIS. wafts* ow COUWOIDUT.I .• PARIS, THURSDAY Emmen. Notwithstanding the successive assertions of the Constitationne/ and France, M. Larabit's report on the Polish petitions was not read in the Senate to day. The postponement, which I conjectured on Monday was probable, is now a matter of fact. The report is not ready, and the government is not ready. The refusal of Russia to act upon the French suggestion constitutes anew point cis depart, and I believe M. Dronyn de Lhya to be altogether at sea for the moment. The semi-official journals mislead the public and contradict each other. The Nation says to-night that there is not one word of truth in the generally received story (accredited by the Debuts this mmaing) that the English go vernment has sent a circular to all the powers who were parties to the treaties of 1815, urging them to insist upon the fulfilment of the stipulations made in those treaties for the benefit of Poland. The Nation treats this report as one "cunningly set about" for the obvious purpose of depriving France of the credit of her generous initiative. In • tone of offended jealousy it opines the friendly intervention of France, so proffered as to avoid wounding the susceptibilities of Russia, is better calculated than any other means could • possibly be to achieve a result favourable to Poland. The Pays professes not to know whether the statement of the Dibats is true or not, but remarks that ;, it be true, the British government will Pad the French govern ment the more ready to join in the course proposed, because the idea of a common diplomatic action "-at occurred to the Tuileries. But, on the other hand, both the France and the Patric say that the news of the English initiative in the Polish qoeetion is "positively confirmed." The Patric, howevpr, does not believe that answers have yet been re ceived from any of the powers applied to. TFR reserve applies to a rumour that Sweden and an other power had already agreed to the English I proposal. On other kindred subjects the disagreement of the official public instructors is equally striking. The Pays affirms that Prime Richard de Metter nich has gone to Vienna to be present at a carousal to be held in celebration of the institution of the new Reichsrath ; that he accepted an invita tion to this carousal long ago ; and that his depar ture has no other cause whatever. The Petrie and the Nation (which in this instance pull together) speak of the journey which has excited so much diplomatic commotion in quite another tone. The Patric says : Far from justifying the pistoling rumours which were current yesterday at the Bourse, the Prince's journey can not but macho • beneded ; , ..flosace upon the asgetiatioes which are going on. The Nation, which, lace the Patrie, knows nothing about the Vienna carousal, says 1 oars — % nothing surprising in this journey under present eireturostesees. lite bat natursl,wben snob great intends are *-1 question, tbst goreraments should be eel to pus them melees in communication u:th their anshameadors. We are persue ied that the interview in the present instemee wan hot 000t.:hoto to ooluolidate the good relation% which exid between France sod Austria. There was a manifestation in favour of Poland in the streets of Marseilles by several hundred people, who walked about crying, "Vive Poland ! Vive VEmpereur !" Some alarm appears to h►vp been felt at the statement of the Constitstionsel yesterday that the Chalons camp was ordered to be formed from the 20th to 31st March. The Moniker now says that the camp will assemble under entirely ordinary circumstances from the 20th to 31st May. The Constitutionnel attributes its mistake to an unfor tunate misprint. The Prase publishes a letter from General Dem binski, declaring that be holds to be an enemy of Poland any man, whether he calls himself Kossuth or Ladislas Mickiewiez, who seeks to cause Austria the least uneasiness on account of Hungary. M. Hubaine, Prince Napoleon's secretary, has published a pamphlet on Algeria, which embodies the objections made by the Prince to the proposed senates conaultum. CIVIL SERVICE EfiTINATES.

That the protects of Polnnd agaiad that violation of all her rights, and a rising for her deliver•eee, cannot be as similated to ordinary ism ,- :cottons, or branded with the name of revolt ; that they are perfectly legitimate before God and before men.

The Paris correspondent of the Brussels Liam dance writes :—" On Sunday last the scheme for the panne of the Alps by railway over the Simplon was submitted to the Emperor, at the Tuileries. The plans are executed by the company of the Italian line ; end the president, one of the directors, and M. Labiate, the engineer, had the honour of presenting it The Grand Diana gallery bad been placed at the disposal of these gentlemen, for the exhibition of the plans, which are 40 metres in length. Some workmen had arranged along the whole length of this celebrated gallery wooden emeriti and cross-roads, by which wert shown the general plan and outline of the ?stile, so that the Emperor end the persons who accompanied hies could in striking follow upon the maps the projected line from Douro D'Omeols, in Italy, to Brims, in the Valais, and so effect, fa imeginadors, an actual prosy of the Alps, upon a raised male, it is true, of two thousand.

About 40 agent', divided into two brigades, one werning to the north, and the other to the south of the Alps, osier the leadership of two engineers, have during four sacaths explored the mountain, and traced the plan of the future railway which is to p MB over rocks, eras torten* fill up valleys, gorges, and precipices, before which mimes does not hesitate. The stimulus of lustier a great work to accomplish has alone sustained the picked men to whom the task aces confided. They set up shelters sod encampments in woods hitherto unexplored, carrying on their hacks beds, cloth ing, and provisions, as they bad often to live two or three leagues from any dwelling. It was fre quently necessar► to lower by ropes down the precipices the men who ha 1 to prepare the plans amid empty space, end the snow and avalanches more than once threatened to stop them summarily in their work. The result has been to put before the Emperor 80 kilometres of iron way in the Helvetia Alps, 44 of which will be covered over, 23 in tunnels, and 21 in galleries. All these perigee are ventilated either by shaft& for the tunnels or wand openings for the galleries.

The execution of the plan, according to the authors, would occupy less than five years.
