Sar Fair is a bad state of the weather-glass for an Opposition, but for the present the political thermometer tells no other tale in England. It is a stark staring calm—an Irishman's hurricane ; the fiag up and down the mast. Not • catspaw to be got out of that oily mill-pond ; mischief brewing all round the horizon; but unless we sail right into it, it won't come to seek this good old ship of ours—the " British Constitution " lazily tumbling on an even keel. Under these unhappy circumstances what is to be done 4 Furl all sail and go to sleep ; or whistle for a wind, hoist • tablecloth to see whether it will draw, and drink one another's very good health. The old stagers who are tired of going aloft are content to make good weather of it when they can, and turn in : it is the hotblooded youngsters, on their promotion, who want to make • splendid passage, and when a calm comes, make a noise. We cannot wonder if the Tories pure and simple, finding that not • rag of their original principles will draw, set • table-cloth to catch the first breath of air in the political sky. We cannot wonder if the great Conservative party has settled down into the great Conservative dinner party. There are occa sions when even to hear the sound of one's own voice is • relief. It is long since the great Con servative party has heard the sound of its own voice; for in Parliament the hands may be the hands of DERBY, but the voice is the voice of Pantsavrox. Since they took to the min cing patois of Liberal Conservatism, the fine old racy idiom of the party has evaporated. As for their Parliamentary existence, it is become a life-long exercise of the painful virtues of patience and self-denial, very may for the old and the satis fied, but very tiresome for the young and the am bitious. Doubtless it is a moat honourable and conscientious part for an Opposition to play ; to oppose the Government just enough to give it some thing to lean upon, but carefully to disclaim the in tention of doing it any harm. To the credit of the Country party, it must be acknowledged that many of its members on the back benches are never more in their element than when they are proving the disinterested sincerity of their patriotism ; and for our own part we should be sorry to see those back benches vacant when we see how the front benches are filled. But in our days the great Conservative party, once so massive, uni form, coherent, and compact, is almost as composite and as mixed as the Liberal majority. It contains Tories pure and simple, and Conservatives of every shade and colour ; and among the pure and simple Tories the most eager and ambitious are, it may be, the purest, but cer tainly not the simplest. How are these restless and swelling spirits who have taken to Conservatism as • professional career in statesmauship, and who fancy themselves Tories of the Bousoeitortz school, as the Girondins fancied themselves Roman republi cans—how are these ardent and bitter young met to be kept quiet while Lord DERBY wishes it to be understood that he does not desire Lord Pm, MERSTON to be disturbed f Sir JOHN PAILINOTON may be content to com municate his satisfaction or his displeasure to the Admiralty ; Mr. WALPOLE. may mildly suggest compromises, and abjure hostile motives; Mr. BENTINCE may be busy with the Dockyards ; and Mr. NMEDLOATE may watch with sympathy the de• cline of the temporal power of the POFE. ; but where is ancient Toryism in all this? The great Liberal party, it is true, has merged into • man ; but the great Conservative party has equally acknowledged the same supremacy. The Liberals have thrown their heavy guns overboard; the Conservatives THE EIPREI3I3, SATURDAY -EVENING, JUNE 27, 1863. dent says that the ordinary law courts are made- there being no ladies in $ Trkish houlehold.

The privateer Clarence, the tender of the Florida, bas captured seven brigs and schooners off Virginia I Cape. The captain of the Clarence transferred his guns Ito the bark Sacony, which he had captured, and burned the Clarence. Twenty-five Federal vessels have left Northern ports to capture the Sacony and the Coquette. The privateer Japan captured the ship Dictator. It is rumoured that the privateer was seen fifteen miles north west of Cape Room. The Spanish steamer Soler, from Savannah to Mobile, was wrecked on the 26th ult. The cargo was worth 500,000 dollars.

As the season advances, doubt, which has hitherto reigned with reference to " La Mode," has given plum b eartaintyy, ; and we can now speak with ciafidenos of the various styles, both in material and make. The elegance consist. more than ever in the uniformity of toilettes. Robe, bonnet, parasol, and even beau, must be of the same colour. We do not, certainly, approve of the harlequin dresses sometimes to be seen, but this seem there is, we think, an abuse in a contrary direction these costumes, so exactly of the same shade, have More the appearance of • uniform than an sieved toilette. However, the lady of taste and fashion has the happy intuition of wearing such a toilette at the right time, and in the right place. White alpacas, and light-coloured mohair., are very fashionable. The robe Meximine, a kind of satin gauzy ma terial ; the golden-brown taffetas, striped with black ; and the remits, are also much in demand. Scotch plaids, of two shades, are made in all the new materials. Mualins, organdie, and all the light materials, are only waiting the advent of settled weather to appear in all their beautiful sad graceful designs. Foulards still continue in favour for walking dresses ; bat the taffetas are more usually worn for visiting. White pod de cheers, trimmed with coloured rib boos, frame • very pretty and fresh looking toilette. Sommer dresses, in white muslin, printed muslin, or pat terned organdie, are made with high, full bodies, or low bodies cut square, with which must be worn • paerine, or a Wm Maris-Antoinette of the same materiel. The alpacas are reserved for morning dress. The Meximine is trimmed with narrow roams of black taffetas and guipure', and is suitable for walking-dress. The taffetas of which we have spoken are not the foulards for merly seen, but a splendid material, as strong and durable as the finest taffetas gros grain. Flounces are much worn. They are narrow, and placed in twos or threes, never reaching higher than the knee. As it is still the fashion to raise the skirt, it is indispensable that the petticoat should also have • narrow flounce. Barer robes, in small designs, are trimmed with three narrow flounces, edged with ribbon. The moire antique is still worn on cold days. This robs is made with five narrow fluted frills and • flounce of lace, with a deep fan-like train. Lace is much employed as trimmings to dresses of taffetas, as well as upon simian and mantles. Rotoodes, forming shawls in front, are trimmed with arabesques of braid and black chenille, and bordered with two deep &awes of lace, separated by ruches of pinked taffetas, put on with a narrow band of pessementerie, worked with jet beads. Many muslin dresses, with printed patterns, have the skirts made plain. Some are spotted with light blue or pink dots, sod bands of the same colour in zigzags at the bottom, imitating ribbon or guipure. This style of muslin is quite new, and only made in the best qualitiee. Doubt less this light and elegant design will remain in fashion all this season. Those spotted with .alias, with • wreath mounting in palms, have • charming appearance. We also see foulards, with groups of asalias and grey foliage at equal distances. On turning to the subject of bonnets, we are informed that their forms have completely changed since last rummer. They are generally very small, but truly graceful. The models vary in trimming. Feathers are much worn. The natural feathers, placed in bunches, are in good taste, and suit any toilettes. Hate may be chosen according to taste, but especial re gard should be paid to what is becoming to the wearer. There is the Incroyable, the Frondeur, and the Moissounear. The first is exceedingly elegant—composed of Italian straw. The front has a double coque of maroon velvet, and two feathers ; one of the same shade as the velvet, the other white, placed rather high on the crown. The sewed is very stylish, made of black straw, with a high and pointed crown • broad edges, turned up on orss ride only. The edge is lined with red velvet ; sod in front, sod rather on the Bat side of the edge, are four large roses, encircled in black lace. We advise brunettes to adopt this style. The moissonenr is rather lees stylish, but is very graceful sod young. The crown is rather lower, and the edges are Bat. A scarf of lace or fringed silk tied behind. The front is trimmed with a bouquet of Bowers or • small bird. Round hats are younger and more fanciful than the bonnet. The postilion hat is destined for the couotry. Its form is a slight modification of the man's hat. The prettiest is of grey straw, edged with velvet to metch, with • bow of the same fastening ; a red feather in front, and a long grey one turning round the crown, and slightly raised at the JAPAN. NEW YORK, Jaws 17. • Advices received here from Japan to May 11 announce that the British admiral had demanded a large indemnity and the surrender of Mr. Richard son's murderers, failing which before the 26th of May England and France would declare war. Thirteen war vessels were at Ganagwa. The natives bad all left. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. POSEN, Jim 27. A private letter from Warsaw, of the 25th inst., states that the revolutionary national government has appointed government commissioners to be attached to every military command. It has further decreed that all Poles remaining in the service of the Russian army, within the frontiers of Poland as existing in 1772, after the let of August next, shall be exiled, shall be de prived of their civil and political rights, and be de clared to have forfeited their honour as citizens. CRACOW, Jou 27. The Polish leader Andrusziiewicz has occupied Lomza, Styes°, and Grajewo, in the government of Augustowo. A sanguinary engagement occurred at Serolk on the 22nd. Executions continue to take place by order of the Russian government. Macewicz, Ancypa, and Korsak were shot at Mohilew upon the 18th, and Zutinski was executed at Kiew ; Czarnecki, Micewicz, and Bokiewicz have been hung at Biedlee and Piotrkow. Two sanguinary conflicts have occurred at Kro lowymost and Luelniki, in Lithuania. Cape Cage are generally made of the risille form, with soft CTOWISII. Flowers and ribbon are employed as ornameots for the hair. Canezons and paerioes of embroidered muslin, and waist coats of white quilting or embroidered silk in bright coloora, with Venitien or Bernoise bands, are much in demand. Undereleevee, with deep cuffs, wider at the top than at the bottom, are quite the fashion, u are also the plain or quiltinccollars, trimmed with Valenciennes lace for half - toilette. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.--(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly court and elections of this society took place this forenoon at the London Tavern ; Sir JAMES DUKE, M.P., in the chair. Mr. HAMM, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the total receipts for the past half•year had been 1,140/. 12s. 5d., and the expenditure 499/. Oa. 3d., leaving a balsam of 6411. 12s. 2d. The institution was daily rising in favour with the commercial body, so evinced by the increased subscription, and the large amount col lected on the benevolent day in April last, being 215/. 3e. 11d. an ioeresse of more than 40/. over the collection of but year. There are three candidates for election on the present occiniion, out of which the board propose to elect two this day. There are now 24 pensioners on the funds. who receive annually from the funds the sum of 655 /. T he funded property of the society invested in the Three per Cents. is now 3,7504 The report concluded with an earnest appeal to the com mercial travellers to come forward and enrol themselves as members of a body calculated to confer so much benefit on the body generally. Thu report having been adopted, scrutineers were then appointed. Mr. CLICKER moved a vote of thanks to Sir James Duke for his kindness in presiding, and his attention to the in terests of the society, which having been agreed to, and suitably acknowledged, the poll was proceeded with. The names of the successful candidates will be duly advertised in the usual way. In the West Indian Incumbored Estates Court, Park-street, Westminster, a few days back, the Worthy Park Estate, of 4,000 acres, in the island of Jamaica, and said to be the finest estate in the island, was sold by atm. tion for 8,5501., exclusive of the stock, to be taken at • valuation. Mickleton Penn, containing 623 acres, was sold for 3001. The Swanswick Estate, containing 1,161 scree, in the same island, was sold for 2,3001. ; and the Up Park Pen, containing 682 acre., for 1,510., on similar terms. There was a large attendance, and considerable competition. The prices w ere considered good under the circumstances, and showed a rue in the value of West Indian property.

THE HERBERT MEMORIAL INAUGrRATION.—It in expected that Lord Palmerston, who is to perform the cere mony of inaugurating the late Lord Herbert's statue, which his been erected io the Market-place at Salisbury, on Mon day next, will arrive at the railway station at about II o'clock from his seat at Broadlands. He will be received by the chairman and Memorial Committee, and will proceed to the Council chamber, where a ,3ng rat u Istory address bearing the corporate seal will be presented to him by the mayor (Mr. John Style) and corporation of the city. The lord-lieutenant of the county (the Marquis of Bath), the young Earl of Pembroke, and the members of the late Lord Herbert's family, aa well as a large number of distinguished visitors, including Lord Clauwilliam, Lord Dunmore, end other noblemen, are expected to be present.

Anything more closely approaching to a solution of that vexed problem in mathematics, the squaring of the circle, could not well be ima gined, and some of the pillars of the state, on whose front deliberation and public care might be sup posed to sit after the conservative dinner which took place in another quarter of the town, relaxed into most ungracious smiles at the plunges made by the frail wearers of hoop ts to ge through the mazes of a quadrille or a waltz. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales seemed to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the dance, and the countenance of the Princess, when it began to glow with excitement, was the theme of general admiration. Nothing could surpass the grace of her smile or the charm of her manner dur ing the entire evening.

The Prince and Princess retired earlier, and the bands of the Guards, which were all assembled on the occasion, struck up the national anthem. Regarded in all its aspects, the beauty of the de corations, the brilliancy of the assembly, and the we alth displayed, this festival of the IGuards honour of the Prince and Princess of Wales may be considered as the most complete and unique that has been yet given in honour of their bridal.

The electoral circular issued by the Marquis Miraftoree has met with a favourable reception throughout the country. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ora ()yrs oosarerostmirr.) • PARIS, FRIDAY EVICIMIG. I have heard a story about M. Walewski which I can only venture to repeat as a likely canard. It is said that so far from his retirement being a symp tom of peace in Europe, he is relieved from the duties of French Minister of State only in order that he may put himself in communication with hie countrymen, the chiefs of the Polish insurrection, and be ready, when the proper moment arrives, to accept the title of " King of Poland" under the pro tection of French arms. I must explain that I use the word " likely " in the sense which it bears in a nigger auctioneer's catalogue—viz., fat. lively, pro mising, and not in the European sense of probable. It is, however, quite true that Count Walewski Iwas from the first privy to all the ministerial changes which have been mado, and entirely acqui esced in his own dismissal. Bel/ices Correspondence, referring to the statement in the Times that the Emperor has again proposed to England to recognise the Confederate States, asserts that, on the contrary, it is the cabinet of St. James's which has this time taken the initiative of the pro posal. It adds that the overture has "not been repulsed," and " that the two cabinets may very likely come to an understanding on the question, if the Confederate government will give some guarantees for the abolition of slavery within a given time." There is much virtue in the latter There is scarcely any change at the Bourse. The tone of the market is somewhat better. Djemil Pacha, the Turkish ambassador, gave a splendid dinner and ball at the Ottoman embassy yesterday to celebrate the anniversary of the Sultan's accession to the throne. Messrs. Godidlot, the eminent undertakers of public rejoicings, erected a temporary saloon for the occasion iu the garden of the embassy which abuts on the Arc de Triomphe. M.

Drouyn de Lhuys proposed the health of the Sultan, Abdul Aziz, and success to the reforms with which he had inaugurated his reign, and which lie was carrying out with houourable perse verance. At the ball Djemil Pacha very success fully did the honours both of host and hostess, LATESTELLIUENUE. (acorn's Tzszawds.) AMERICA. ENVASION OF THE NORTH BY THE CONFEDERATES. QUEENSTOWN, Jusz 27.

NEW YORK, JUNI 17, Yearns°. General Lee, with an army estimated at 100,000 men, including 30,000 cavalry, has commenced an offensive campaign against the Northern States, the plans of which are not yet fully developed. The following are the operations up to the pre- sent time : General Jackson's old corps, commanded by Ewell, supposed to number 18,000 strong, passed through Culpepper last week, en route for the Shenandoah Valley. On Saturday last Ewell attacked Milroy at Winchester, and on Sunday night carried the outer works of Winchester by storm. Milroy then spiked his guns and retreated towards Harper's Ferry, but was intercepted on the Martinsburg road and compelled to cut his way through, reaching Harper's Ferry with the loss of 2,000 men. On Saturday night the Confederates captured Perryville and the small Federal forts at that point, and on Sunday night they attacked Martinsburg, compelling the Federals there to re- treat to Harper's Ferry. Oa Monday morning the Confederates occupied Hagerstown, Maryland, advancing northward from there in three columns, each column said to consist of 5,000 cavalry, with infantry and artillery. 1. On Monday night the C onfederates occupied Greencastle and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. They were reported to be still at Chambersburg at midnight yesterday, and it is not known whether they propose to march from Chambersburg to Harrisburg, Pittsburg, or Baltimore. In conse quence o f General Lee's movements, General Hooker's whole army, including the forces on the south side of the Rappahannock, left Falmouth on Sunday morning, marching to Fairfax station, vilt Dumfries, and arriving at Fairfax on Monday night. Belle Plaine and Acquia Creek were abandoned, and Hooker's base of supplies trans ' lerred to Alexandria. General Hooker's army at present occupies the old Bull Run battle ground and the line of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. General Lee's main army is said to have crossed the river at Rappahannock station, and to have moved off towards Warrington, and General Lee is now supposed to be on the westerly aide of Bull Run Mountains, somewhere about Whiteplains or Front Royal. A battle on the old Bull Run battle ground is expected. It was rumoured yesterday that General Lee, by a flank movement, bad cut off and captured the entire sixth corps of General Hooker's army. General Lee's invasion has created an immense sensation throughout the Northern States. Presi dent Lincoln has called out 120,000 militia from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Western Virginia, Ohio, and New York, for six months' service. The go vernors of the different States responded promptly, and the New York 7th Regiment and several others leave for Harrisburg to-day. The Governor of Penn sylvania has called upon the Governor of New I Jersey for the services of the nine months' soldiers just returned. Several regiments volunteered. The Governor of New Jersey also issued a stirring appeal to the people of Pennsylvania not to stand quibbling about six months' service, but to close their business and go to Harrisburg. The Mayor of Philadelphia yesterday ordered all business places to be closed and the men to join the military organisation. Troops are hurrying to Harrisburg, and prepa rations are making for defence. The governors of all the Northern States are organising to send all the militia they can. General M'Clellan went to Albany to assist the governor in organising and forwarding troops. A cry for his reappointment is again raised. It is reported that the Confederates are burning and destroying along their route, but this is not confirmed. NEW YORK, JUNK 17, 1 .P.N. The Indiana enrolment excitement continues. A general disinclination to submit to the draft is apparent all over the country. A military board has been appointed to settle the claims of Generals Butler, Fremont, M`Clellan, Hanka, and Dix for military precedence of rank. Mr. Vallandigham bas arrived at Wilmington, en route for Nassau. Senator Cameron has made a speech at Harris burg, declaring that the neglect of Pennsylvania by the administration was reckless and disgraceful, and urging the appointment of General M`Clellan or Franklin to command the militia for the protec tion of the State. The latest advicos from General Lee state that he has pushed a very large force up the Shenandoah Valley, and there is no doubt that he is throwing his whole army towards Maryland and the interior of Pennsylvania, and not moving to give battle on Bull Run. General Hill's corps has been gem in the neighbour hood of Point of Rocks, and the Confederates have invested Harper's Ferry on the Virginia side. The Baltimore correspondent of the New York Mratd says :—" General Ewell, with eighteen thousand men, has the advance of General Lee's army, and Lee, with Hill and Longstreet, is moving northward, and keeping between Ewell and Hooker. " General Hooker is moving to follow General Lee wherever he goes." General Fitzhugh Lee is reported to have been severely wounded. The Confederates under General Jenkins, 3,500 strong, are encamped around Chsmibereburg. ews is awaited of their further movements. The steamer Norwegian was wrecked on the 14th on Saint Paul's Island, in a dense fog. All the passengers, crew, mails, and baggage were saved. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JUNI 17, 1 P.M. Money easy. Gold, 45} prem. Stocks quiet. New York Centrals, 1181 ; Illinois, 1041 ; Erie, 94. NEW YORK, Jinn 16, Evonso. Official advices from Vicksburg to the 12th inst. report that the siege was progressing favourably. The Confederates occupy Canton and Yazoo City in force. Richmond papers of the 13th inst. assert that General Johnstone has cut his way through Grant's Hues with his whole army, by which it was expected he could raise the siege. This news is not generally credited, but there is no doubt that Johnstone, largely reinforced, is advancing against Grant. President Lincoln has sent a reply to the com mittee who forwarded him the resolutions passed at the Albany Vallandigham meeting.
