Far esuststisos land has enjoyed unjust exemptions from the tea on successions by death; and instead of being grateful for all it hu hitherto enjoyed by grace especial, and con science-stricken and silent on the announcement of Tafyien alb" a tone of injured virtue, and threatens ltiudly to take vengeance upon those who would put an end to its unvirtuous privi lege. Conscious, however, of the utter weakness of its cause in this particular, Toryism naturally prefers to take issue upon other ground. The unamended Income Tax will in many respect. serve its purpose better, and upon this, therefore, the chiefs of the Carlton have, it is understood, determined to offer battle. ibis battle of the session begins to-night, and will probably last some days. To what extent a counter-coalition may have been formed between the Irish Catholic party and the Dcrbyites, we do not undertake to say. But we record the numerical strenetb, or rather weakness of the former, and can therefore be neither by its own gasconade, nor by the affectation of fear, somewhat clumsily assumed respecting it in certain quarters. The entire con tingent that acknowledge the leadership of Mr. LUCAS hardly exceed a score, and there are about as many who have given in their adhesion from the outset to the Coalition Ministry. The votes of some , half dozen Irish Whigs may be doubtful, but mat, of them will either stay away altogether or support the Government. Admitting, however, that from sixty to seventy Irish members of all creeds and opi nions concur in declaring that they do not wish to pay the same tax upon income which, for ten years, his been exclusively borne by the people of England, how much nearer will that bring Mr. FORBES MAC gems to his former post of Secretary of the Treasury ? An evening contemporary tells, with all the air of circumstantial gravity, a story respecting . the arts which are said to have been used to gain a decisive majority against the late Administration. Certain Irish members con tinued, as the story goes, undecided until the last moment : no genial arguments or blandishments could fix their wavering resolve, unless Mr. Harm could obtain for them a pledge from the Coalition chiefs that, were they in office, they would not extend the Income Tax to Ireland, these intract able gentlemen would not help to tarn Mr. MACKENZIE out and to put Mr. HATTER in. After are negotiation, the pledge, it is pretended, was given ; and now these gentlemen, according to the Beanciard, are fully justified in making reprisals, by voting against the whole Budget, or any part thereof they do not happen to like. The story is only worth repeating as illustrative of the state of decadence and despair which pervades the party now in opposition. If they had any great principle or any great cause to invoke, we s ho uld nut hear of such tales of broken faith, or of appeals to such miserable motives as these on the eve of a great party conflict. It is pretty well understood, however, that the more sensible men among Lord mater's followers have no desire to reopen the old quarrel between town and country. Many of them have concealed their regret at having been misled into desertion of Sir Roam PEEL., and since the humiliation to which they were ex posed in December last, when at the end of a cox years' mutiny they heard every principle of that illustrious statesman practically adopted by Mr. DISRAELI, these sober-minded gentlemen have made no secret of their determination never to be run away with again by any insurgent genius. They feel that in the main the order to which they belong has everything to lose and nothing to gain by setting itself against the common sense and general interest tithe community at large. Free Trade has already begun to convince even them of its compen sating advantages. The price of agricultural produce has not for a long time been so remunerative, and even oountry gentlemen are beginning to under stand that low and just taxation is better for everybody than high and unequal imposts. We believe if such persons were to speak the thought which is upper most in their minds just now, it is an un feigned regret that the Peelites were not induced to join Lord DERBY in place of Lord lons RUSSELL. Between Mr. GLADSTONE'S scheme for the renewal of the Income Tax, and that of Mr. DISRAELI there is no substantial difference, which recommends the latter to the approval of country gentlemen. Whatever faith they ever may have had in their Arab chief, utterly (ha oat within them before Christmas last, and of the two, they would infinitely rather follow Mr. OLLDSTONS as their future leader than his more venturous rival. To this it may moms day or other came, aid meantime we shall not be surprised at finding the names of many respectable twenty ingrahsre miming in the list of the division en the renewal for seven years of the Income Tax. Lars the tax they may not. bat they like the notion of a dissolution less, and will not smelly be iodated, therefore, to neglect their " heavy nide" or " argent private badness" in the country to ease to town in order to precipitate a Ministerial crisis. If, upon the other hand, there be some pp* in the Ministerial ranks en the present oseanon, the Cnancxuna of the Exxxenuen has only to thank hiring( for causing them. He knows as well as any man the strength and intensity of the objeo dons so long entertained out of doors by men of all shades of °plaion to the undissaiminating tariff of incomes. ifs knows full well the justice of such ob jections; and he must feel that, sooner or later, they are destined to prevail. Bat be seems in this and some other more anxious to walk in the shadow d ra g:, than to emulate those practical qualities of legibility and adaptation which so eminentl ehinederised his master. There was nothing of ' et shape, or form which PEEL wa s zip, no t re ady eg sooner than endanger a great object. Mr. OILLISTONZ admits—as it is impossible, • for hitting deny—the prevalence and earnest ness of the mipmilissi to an indiscriminate rating of incomes. MA wear than forego a literal and un reasoning adhormiss to the formula of the tax, as originally end by Pizi., he offers to dribble it away year by year, mid at last to abolish it altogether. Nobo4, except Mr. GLADSTONE himself, seriously believes that the latter result is likely to arise in our time. Long ban 1880 many circumstances will have mina to die natural progress of events which may mike sate an abolition impossible ; and long before then we desk not that we shaft see the just and natural asserted of discrimination between fixed and fluctuating incomes. THE CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is site right as to the important effect the abolition of the Soap Duty will,—by stimulating the demand for Palm Oil,—have on confirming the suppression of the Save Trade ; and in giving an additional impe tus to Negro improvement. He might, however, have gone further in his African speculations, and have added that by increasing the consumption in England of another African production, Ground Nuts, —whence the oil so largely used in making Continental Soaps is expreseed,—it will have still greater effects than ho anticipated upon the affairs on the Western Coast of Africa. When the Portuguese first traded with that Coast they found Palm Oil and Ground Nuts articles of native food, and so they remained down to a period within living memory. So used, neither required any cultivation or gave rise to any notlonwof pro perty. Though whole tracts of countqf are crowded by the Palm Tree, little care was taker of what wee, in fact, superabundant ; and, f,se cleqund Nato, they were simply dug up as prudenee. or Necessity dictated. Some thirty years ago a cask or two of Palm Oil was sent home from the Gold Coast ' • it met so ready a sale that it was further inquired after, and the total amount now imported into Eng gland ranges from 25,000 to 30,000 tons annually. The exportation of Ground Nuts is even larger ; ' but, owing to our Excise on Soap, they have hitherto gone principally to France—to Marseilles especially. Of these two articles, it is to be observed, the Western Coast of Africa appears to have a mono poly; and with respect to Palm Oil, it is further to be remarked, that it is exactly behind those ports and up those rivers which were formerly the great nests of the Slave Trade that its production is largest; and just as the slave trade there has been crushed, a commerce in Palm Oil has sprung up and replaced it. There are men alive who recollect the Slave Trade flourishing on the Gold Coast; it has long been extinct there ; and Palm Oil is now largely ex ported. It is but a very few years ago since that traffic appeared to be irrepressible at the mouths of the Niger: it is now expelled, and thence Liverpool obtains, instead, its supplies of Palm Oil. So, also, later still, at Whydah and the other ports of the kingdom of Datum and along the lagoon which connects Dahomi with the Benin River, there the Spanish slave dealers are themselves inaugurat ing a considerable commerce in Palm Oil. Already the trade in this quarter is considerable • and it would have extended much more rapidly than it has done were it not that disorder and warfare in the interior have been promoted and prolonged by the indiscreet zeal of some of our own naval officers and by the desire of some of our I missionaries to rule at Abeeokuta, at Logos, and at Badagry. When, however, order and tranquillity are restored, a most important trade will undoubtedly arise here. A generation ago, when Palm Oil was merely an article of food, there was, we have said, no property in Palm Trees. Since, however, large foreign demand has arisen for this oil, the Planta tions, as already they are called, begin to be cared for ; and lately the title to some of them has been disputed in our Courts on the Gold Coast : a contention which constitutes the first evidence we have received of the value of land, not actually under their own cultivation, being re cognised by the Natives. Thus the feeling of property and the desire for accumulation are spring ing up out of the Palm Oil Trade ; and they are every where the germs of nascent civilisation. It is no light question, therefore, thus involved in an increased demand for this article ; it may produce African consequences of incalculable importance to the whole human race. It la in France hitherto that the great consumption of Ground Nut Oil has occurred. It is there used in the manufacture of soaps which, though preferredabroad, are little used in England—very much because of the Excise Laws. The specific gravity of the soap made out of Ground Nut Oil is higher than those laws permitted; in consequence we could neither make It for our own use or for foreign exportation ; and thus France has substantially the Soap Trade of the world. By the repeal of the Duty, England will be enabled to compete—in this, as in all other ' 1 trades,—with France abroad. INDIA AND CHINA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received by submarine telegraph the fol.' lowing despatch, dated " TRIESTE, Arm 24. " The steamer Bombay arrived at half-past two o'clock this morning in 108 hours from Alexandria, bringing advice, from Calcutta to the 19th ult. " There was no news from Btirmah. Trade was improving at Calcutta. Exchange on London, 21. " Trade was dell at Bombay, and money plentiful. " According to advices from China of the 12th ult., it was said that Nankin had fallen into the bands of the rebels on the 19th of February, and it was thought that nothing but European intervention could maintain the Emperor on the throne." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY EVIININO. The Yogi eor of this day states that the govern ment postpones, for financial reasons, tke establish ment of the proposed lines of transatlantic communi cation, but will shortly establish a line of vessels between France and the Brazils. The Wurtemberg government informs the bishops of the Upper Rhine, who, in conference at Fribourg, sent a manifesto of ecclesiastical independence to the Bing, that any further communications they may address to it will remain unanswered, the government recognising no other ecclesiastical corporation than the Bishop of Roteoburg. ' A number of English residents at Vienna have presented a congratulatory address to the Emperor. The Second Prussian Chamber has rejected by 147 to 139 votes the bill for giving the executive an arbitrary power to exclude foreign newspapers and printing from the kingdom. At the Bourse yesterday there was rather a large amount of business transacted in government securi ties, and prices showed an increase on yesterday's closing rates.

The Civil Tribunal of the Seine gave judgment to day upon the preliminary objection taken to their jurisdiction by MM. Veron and ?Eris in the cause of Azusa° v. Tenn. The court, as was expected, he declared limit competent. Dr. Venn and M. Mires are decreed to pay the costs of the interlocu =objection, and this already celebrated cause is red to stand for hearing upon the merits, on this day fortnight. The Moreilesr publishes a decree of the Emperor putting an end to the ad interim administration of the War department exercised by M. Ducal, Minis ter of Marine, in the absence of Marshal de St. Ar naud, who has now resumed hie functions. Several new great speculative undertakings are on the topic Notwithstanding the fear lately frequently expressed of encumbering the market with new paper, I understand that more railway coacemions may be shortly expected. A prospectus is in print for a grand whaling company at Havre, with a capital of 7,500,000 f. This company is said to be under the patronage of the Emperor, the Empress, Prince Napoleon, the Princess Mathilde, the Marquis d'Hautposl, Grand Refereadary of the Senate, Admiral Hugon, General Schram°, dec. This beats any London committee list during the railway mania. M. Lebobe, the ex-deputy, formerly president of the Tribunal of Commerce, and M. Callon, the banker, are now in treaty with the government for a lease of the baths of Vichy, with a view to their en largement and amelioration. The company propose to lay out a million of francs in the thermal esta blishment to buy certain springs in the immediate neighbourhood of Vichy, and in particular the famous one of Hanterive, and to make arrangements for the accommodation of 3,000 additional bathers per day. The Prefect of the Var has issued a proclamation, informing the authorities and inhabitants that the socialist agitation is reviving in the district under his superintendence. The insurgents against the coup (Mat were more numerous in this department than in any other, and an immense proportion of the political victims lately pardoned belonged to the Var. At the election for L o uis Napoleon, scarcely a negative bulletin appeared in the box. This fact has been frequently cited u proof of a wonderful change of opinion. It would seem, however, that socialism was only " scotched, not killed. - • • ' The remainder of the imprisonment to which M. ,10 Ra.4pot surges w es as o rtence n d by lo th: ta llith Court of tustr i e . itaiipail, it is ma, will• immediately go to' Belgium, • period at kila sentence has yet two yams to ran. o proposed lines of siubmarine telegraph be. n Franoweed Algeria are now uallar.the consi. • n of elie-government, one by way of Piellmon t, Sardinia, and Corsica to Bone, and the other from Perpignan, along the Spanish coast as far as Oats, and thence to Oran. The Constitutionnel, in commenting. upon Mr. Gladstone's financial statement, says : The financial scheme, the heads of which we hale 4. scribed, is evidently favourable to small fortunes. On Mile account it will be well received in England. Mr. Gladaelia developed his views with that lucidity end power et ass ment for which he is remarkable. He spoke for five and his speech occupies no less less than twelve col the Times. This journal receives the proposed meastnee with shouts of triumph, and pushes its lyricism so far as tie thank God fur the prosperity which the speech presages f England. This burst of grateful enthusiasm is vet y excis able, and doubtless the abolition of the stamp upon supple ments has nothing to do with it.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY Evxxixo. The Heyst Mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain Lang, arrived in the Mersey this evening, frum Boston and Ifslif.tx, the former of which ports she left on the 13th, and the latter on the 13th inst. Besides the usual mails from the United States and the British provinces, the Niagara brings about 120 passengers, but no specie on freight. The Royal Mail Steam ship America had arrived at Halifax on the 12th inst: The iiiiiare.pa/WedtheArabia, Royal Mail steam ship, from Liverpool, on her outward passage, on the 18th inst. ...The ........._ announcement of the appointment of the Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, to represent the United States at London, has been received. The Senate have confirmed the nomination. . _ . From Washington reports had been received by telegraph on the 11th inst., stating that there was • complete want of union amongst the newly-appointed cabinet, which had rendered it exceedingly probable that numerous changes in the present appointments would shortly be publicly announced : this report had, however, received contradiction by information received since. _ _ _ The Senate had finally adjourned on the evening the 11th inst. REACTIONARY RISING AT FRIBOURG. A telegraphic despatch states that on April 22 the reactionary party got up a serious esneute at Fri bourg " Three or four hundred peasants, headed by CoL Perrier, got possession of the College. The fight was severe. There are many killed and wounded. Col. Perrier is severely wounded. Almost all his followers are made prisoners. Two columns of insurgents gave way. The civic guard is everywhere victorious. All is over." It to to be presumed from this despatch that the partisans of the Sonderbund, seeing Switzerland me naced simultaneously by Prussia and Austria, thought the moment favourable for trying a coup-de-main. HOLLAND. BRUSSELS, FRIDAY. I have just been informed by a gentleman from Amsterdam, worthy of the fullest confidence, that party feeling runs so high in Holland that serious apprehensions of disturbances are entertained. Pub lic opinion is greatly divided, so much so that nume rous Roman catholic" have signed the addresses against the establishing of the Roman catholic hierarchy, and numerous protestant., on the other hand, including many protestant clergymen, warmly disapprove of the King'. conduct. Such apparent anomalies admit of explanation. Many Roman ca tholics, whilst sincerely attached to their religion, are not disposed to allow their country to be made the theatre of papal intrigue; many protestant., while opposed to the Pope, objeet to any tampering with the liberal constitution of the kingdom on the ground that that constitution admits of papal en croachments. In fact, since the King's famous decla ration the other day, that, contrary to his will, he was bound by the constitution, much alarm has arisen in the minds of all stanch con stitutionalists, and some apprehensions of a coup d'etat have even been expressed, a fact which proves nothing so much as the intense ness and susceptibility of public feeling at this mo ment. However, it is certain that an imposing number of troops was stationed, the other day, in the vicinity of the second chamber, and that the withdrawal of these troops was recommended, in a certain quarter, on the ground that the communal guard were dissatisfied with that military display. t is believed that the adjournment will be followed by a dissolution, so that ministers may have a chance of obtaining a majority in the new parliament. Some of the leading members of the present cabinet are men having what is called in Holland and Germany pretist tendencies, and who are, at the same time, warm upholders of royal prerogatives. Van Hall himself may be set down as a re-actionist in politics. He was the intimate friend and confidential adviser of William the First, and it is feared that he is not so warmly attached to the constitution as sound liberals would wish him to be. It may be stated that he has considerable influence on 'Change, and that he is looked up to by monied men. SPAIN. THE MINISTERIAL PROGRAMME. The new Spanish ministers have publiehed, their me; " deeming it," as they say, "expedient t P •M r i n n by frankly expressing their ideas on the situation in which they have been called upon to direct public affairs; and to present to the country a clear :expose of principles promising advantageous refits to the public weal. Such a statement is indeed greatly needed, both in and out of Spain. Letters ftom Madrid state that in that capital the programme was regarded by some as a promise that the constitution should not be disturbed, the words favour ing this view being those which declare the affection of the people for " the political system inaugurated by the fortunate accession of her Majesty to the throne. Others believed this phrase to be a concealed jibe at the nation, which has so long tolerated the grossest perversion of the constitutional system, and farther asked what " power" but that, of the crown was to be "prudently developed" by the new cabinet. All however were agreed that the prominence assigned to material improvements and public works in the programme was nearly connected with the large interest of Christina and the Munos family in railroads. M. Balleateros has been appointed Director of the Treasury, and M. Lopes Vasquez, Administrator of the Direct Taxes. These gentlemen are friends of M. Mon. By royal decrees, published in the Gazette of the 19th, General Lars is appointed Oaptain-General of New Castillo, and M. Benavidde Civil Governor of Madrid. M. Benavides was a member of Roncali's cabinet. ITALY. PIEDMONT. On Ling the bill for a loan of 400,000 f. to those Sard•n n ian subjects whose property had been put under sequestration by Austria (vide telegraphic dispatch in last Thursday's Daily News), M. Carew denounced the sequestration as "an act, which not only violates the principles of international law that all civilised nations look upon as sacred, but also the conditions formally established by the treaties latterly concluded - between Sardinia and Amble, which consecrate the inviolability of property pow seised by the subjects of either power on the territory of the other." The bill was well received by the Chamber. Its principal articles prescribe that the amount of the sums lent shall be in proportion to the property plumed by the Sardinian citizens in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and to the rank of their families, and no loan can exceed 5,000(., nor the two thirds of the property under sequestration. The loans are to be made without interest and on condi tion of their reimbursement in the course of a year, to be reckoned from the day on which the boirowers shall have acquired proper means of existence. A telegraphic despatch dated Turin, April 22, states that the Prince Royal has been almost unani mously elected Colonel of the National Guard of Turin. PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON. 81:1NDILT EVENING. The Tagus hes arrived, having left Lisbon on the 19th. The Tagus broke down, and the chief engi neer bas been severely injured. The Portuguese ministry is tottering. The French Emperor has made a demand on the Portuguese government for the payment of the French subjects having claims arising out of the loan to Don Miguel. The Portuguese ministers are in the utmost alarm at this demand, and have solicited the intervention of the British ambassador. Seidler Jervis is likely to retire from the ministry. Exchange, 541; discount on Lisbon Bank notes, 24 per cent. INTELLIGENCE. There was comidenble activity in bovines reported throughout the United States at the time of the departure of the Niagara. The conditioa of the money market at New York was highly satisfactory, with a decided tendency toward. further improvement, owing to affairs generally being in a more flourishing condition than at the last advice.. An increase in the firmness of stocks was reported. The market for breadstuff. was active, and there was great firmness reported in prices. The following are the present quotations : Western Canal flour, 4 dol.. 75c. to 4 dole. 871 c. per barrel; Ciennessee prime wheat, 1 dol. 24e. to 1 dol. 2GO. per 601 b. • Indian corn, round yellow, 64e. to 66c. per bushel; Indi an meal, 2 doll. 8710. to 3 dots. per barrel. There had been a fair average amount of business doing in cotton at New York, the previous quotations having been steadily maintained. At the time of the departure of the mail the following were the rates: New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, 120. to 121 e. per lb. ; Uulands, mid. fair to fair, 111 e. to per lb. The excess of receipts over those of last year now amounted to 350,000 bales. There is no 'iteration to report in the state of the pro vision market, end holders showed no inclination to recede from the prices previously obtained. At the steamer's departure the price of freights as pre viously quoted remained unchanged, the asking rates being: Freight of flour to Liverpool, 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d. per barrel ; cotton, 5-16 d. to Id. per lb. ; grain, 6ld. to 7d. per bushel. Exchange on London, 109} to 1091 ; Parie, 6.121 to 6.13 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361 ; Bremen, 79. 1 to 791. KOSSUTH. TO Tlll IDITOS 07 TR! 112811111. BlB,—M:ioesutilie:eeAlclreseedic7iie a letter, fall of startling facts and puzzling questions. As an Eng lishmen I confess, with shame, that I can neither contradict the former nor reply satisfactorily to the latter. As both are of deep interest—not to me alone, but to you, air, and to every man in England—l make use of the privilege granted me, and send you this letter for publication. I shall make no comments upon it. Let England answer for herself. But this I will dare to affirm—that, if the state ments of Mr. Danford be facts, and Englishmen submit tamely to a knowledge of them, then indeed have we reached a crisis of shame ; and the further downhill of dia. grace will be short, rapid, and facile. Political espionage is cuneiform. Give the vile system but the smallest insertion, and, wedge-like, It will help itself, until it has cleft the columns of our glory and sapped the foundations of our dear liberty. If our own sense of national honour move us not now, there is but little hope that we will be aroused from our ;lethargy by the scornful cheer that will soon greet us from the other side of the Atlantic. Them gem may be lightly treated by the over-wise and the too secure. To you, sir, they will be thoughts of pain and sorrow , as they are to Your obedient servant, MAYNE REID. 14, Alpha-road, Regent's-park, April 24, 1863. (Copy.) 21, Alph a-road, Regent's-perk, April 23. My dear Sir,—Recent occurrences have thrown such an uncertainty upon the legal position of political refugees re siding in England that our honour as well as the instinct of self-preservation make it indispensable that the exact na ture of the right of asylum should be cleared up, which we have been induced to believe the organic institutions of England afford to political exiles in equal degree, be they dethroned kings or inconspicuous martyrs of the cause of liberty. We are told, in and out of parliament, that we live under the protection of the common laws of England. Now, sir, I apprehend it is no easy matter, even for Eng lishmen, to know exactly what is English law. Long for gotten statutes, exhanated for some special occurrence from under the rubbish of by-gone times, render the access to the sanctuary of your common laws extremely sinuous. Foreigners cannot be reproached for being unable to know the way of their duties and their rights in that labyrinth. You having been always amongst the foremost to defend us spontaneously when we have been wronged, you will excuse me, I hope, for venturing to bring some facts to your notice, and for asking you some questions resulting therefrom. Sir, I sincerely believe that Englishmen mean to be hos pitable to political exiles, but few o ou know what sort of hospitality England a ff ords to u. Hospitality, in my view, means the admitting a guest to be, at least, on the same terms as the members of the family ; but, forgive my say ing, I feel that I for one am not thus treated. Englishmen are punishable if they break the law, but they are not dogged by spies, surrounded by political espionage, and the names of all who visit them kept in a black-book. They axe not always: trembling for the safety of their letters and the lives of their correspondents, or of the innocent men whose amine may be mentioned in their prints memorandums. I avow my responsibility to the laws of Englishmen, and have not dreamed to ask more than English freedom while on your shores. But under the pretence of prevention On especially despotic plea) it appears 1 am beset by agencies, which all true - heart ed Beglishreen hate, and which, if applied to any of you, would, I believe, rouse your indig nation. Of coarse I correspond with my friends, many of whom are suffering under lawless oppression, haunch correspond ence is no breach of your laws. Nevertheless, I hire in daily terror, lest on waking some morning I fi nd that my writing-desk has been torn open, and my private memoran dams rifled by virtue of • se arch warren% obtained by I know not what one-aided deposition, from • secret irresponsible tribunal, like that of the Inquisition, obtained by snonymous accumtion—the charge and the judp being unknown to me. I say I live in daily terror lest by sack seizure of my private papers innocent friends be betrayed to Austrian vengeance. Englishmen would not endure such a state of law as applicable to themselves, but it seems you have exceptional laws spinet foreigners, which turn your hospitality to exiles (possibly) into a cruel trap. Du you say " Not possibly ?" Do you mare me that this power, though committed to your ministry, certainly will not be ' used F Excuse some anxiety in one who has road how the brothers Hindi= were betrayed, and has recently seen in the ease of an Englishman, bow, without any process of law where accuser and accused mee t face to face, any piss of searching for gunpowder may be used in *skim to rifle my desk, and carry off my trunks and papers. What is to hinder some masked accuser from whispering something which by virtue of " reasons of state," justifies a burglary in my house, and puts the lives of ray correspondents into hazard, for no imaginable breach of your laws—men who have never come within the sphere of English law at all ? These fears are not unfounded in fact. Listen yet a little, sir. Mr. Danford, printer and stationer, residing at Notting-hill, gives to me the following information : While Lord Derby was still Prime Minister, men from the detective police, in plain clothes, were appointed to watch my house at Notting-hill, and take the number of every cab which came to the door. The late ministry hav ing left office, they were withdrawn. But a short time after the debates in the House of Lords about the refugees previous to which your Home Secretary declared in the House of Commons, with loud applause, that " It is no part of the duty of an English government to provide for the safety of foreign governments." According to Mr. Duaford's positive knowledge, the detective polies not only made their appearance again about my house, but he has full reason to believe that there was slaw one policeman for every person who visited my house, and he assorts to know that they had orders to mark every such person, and even to take a cabriolet, if necessary, to follow the visitor wherever he went. Farther, Mr. Danford informs me that, upon the occa sion of my removing from my late residence at Notting-hill to that which I at present occupy in Alpha-road, Regent's park, one of the detective police in the disguise of a labourer, and upon the plea that he was oat of work, in sinuated himself into the service of the person employed to remove my furniture, and in this character assisted at its I removal, thus having free access to my house, and adopting what I—and I am certain you, dr—would pronounce • base means of becoming acquainted with my private affairs. The honest carman himself, having too late learnt the matter, has felt so ashamed and revolted in his plain honest English heart, at being made • tool in so base • plot, that he never called for payment of his bill; so that having waited for a considerable time in vain, I was under the ne cessity of sending to search him oat and pay him his money. The people's moral sense is an honourable test of institations. Mr. Danford, I have reason to believe, is a respectable and honourable man. Ilia letter lies before me, of which he gave me permission to make public use, and authorised me to say that he is ready to come forward and make oath to the facts here stated. So much of political espionage for the present. But you will say—what of intercepted letters ? I indeed can only answer you that one most important letter I have never re ceived, which was directed,to me under inclosure to a friend. It never reached my friend, and all knowledge of it is denied at St. Martin's-le-(hand. Judge, then, whether 1 am unreasonable or uncharitable in feeling frequent alarm, for good and brave men, whose names are found in my private letters. When I metiew the past, and compare the most recent and still pending transac tions of your extra-judicial activity, truly I have little ground for congratulating myself on security from proceed ings which I used to think Austrian, but not English. Pass laws, if you please, which forbid exiles on English soli to use pen and paper, or to talk face to face, we 'hall then know on what terms we accept your proffered refuge. But if you induce us to believe that England is a free coun try, you mut excuse re for believing that political esp age is incompatible with liberty. If you like to boast of the proud personal security of Englishmen, do not blame us for thinking that preventive political police measures can hale is legal footing in England ; and if, in that belief, I take it for granted that I am allowed to correspond with my friends, and to enjoy their company, will you then give me 1 1 no security that in using this common privilege I shall not become the means of betraying my beloved compatriots to the Austrian hangman? I used to read that an Englishman's house was his castle, and, according to my Hungarian notions, the stranger who is received among you should have equally sacred rights ; but perhaps lam wrong. Those are old fashioned principles of common law, exploded by many a petty coup d'etat. Englishmen are contented to be liable to search warrants themselves upon " information ;" and therefore I must be contented. Is it Bo ?or are refugees placed under exceptional law in order to please foreign tyrants ? These are questions which agitate my mind. I hope you will help me to have them answered ; and I have the honour to remain, Dear, sir, yours faithfully, To Captain Mayne Reid, 14, Alpha-road, Regent's-park. L. KOSSUTH. 'EDE Court.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE, WATCHES, AND JEWELLERY. On Saturday morning a very daring burglary was effected on the premises of Mr. Calmere, silversmith, watchmaker, and jeweller, of No. 6, St. Ann's-lane, St. Martin's-le-Grand, when property to the amount of several hundred pounds was carried off. The premises of Mr. Cut more are adjoining the burial ground of St. Ann's Church, which encompasses it on two sides. In the back wall of the house opening to the churchyard is a small recipe, four feet square, in which Goddard, the grave-digger, keeps his shovels, spades, end mattocks ; the thieves contrived to con ceal themselves in this recess, and having closed the door, with great perseverance *acceded in cutting • bole through a nine-inch wall that separates it from the parlour behind the shop; the aperture was made about fifteen inches by sixteen inches, of sufficient size to admit • stout-built man with facility. After entering they packed up every articld of value, including above 120 gold and silver watches, about 1,000 ounces of plate, and a large quantity of valuable jewellery, with which they de camped by the same aperture Si they entered. Mr. Cut more, who does not sleep on the premises, on arriving in the morning to superintend the opening of his shop, found the fastenings safe, but on entering discovered he had no thing but bare walls to look at. Information was given to the police, and a large reward is offered fir the apprehen sion of the thieves. It is supposed that the robbery was effected by the same gam which broke into Mr. Sinderby's, watchmaker, of Bull and Mouth-street, a few weeks ago, carried off property te a large amount. THE RECENT MANSLAUGHTER AT CHELTENHAM. We reported a few days ago the circumstances attending a brutal attack waft in the streets of Chelten ham, upon aman named Richard Mann, by two women and • man, who beat and kicked him in such a manner that he died from the injuries. It will be remembered that the outrage was committed between ten and eleven o'clock at night, and that although the disturbance occasioned by the affray occupied at least half an hour, no policeman was to be found; and the unfortunate deceased remained bleeding in the street until three o'clock next morning, when • policeman found him insensible, but left him in the street for another hour before he had him removed. These cir cumstances corning to the knowledge of Earl Fitahardinge, Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, through the me dium of the newspaper, his lordship directed that an in quiry into the conduct of the police should be instituted by the magistrate. of Cheltenham. Accordingly this inquiry has just taken place before eleven of the: local magistrates, his lordship being pre vented from attending by an attack of gout, Mr Leftoy, the chief constable of the Gloucestershire constabulary, was also present. It appeared the outrage occurred on the night of the Cheltenham Steeplechases, and nearly the whole of the police force were in attendance on the race course all day, so that the night police did not go on duty until after ten o'clock, and the town was left for at least an hour without a single policeman being on duty. After hearing the statements of the police, the bench came to the decision that on the night in question the town was net protected by the police in the way in which it ought to have been, notwithstanding the excuse about their engage. ment on the race-course. They also resolved that if steeplechase races again take place in the vicinity of the town, the stewards or parties promoting them should at their own expense provide the necessary means for their being properly conducted." TILE NEW EMPLOYMENT POE Tin LONDON PoLics.—lt h►ving been moved on Saturday last in the Marylebone vestry, that the police rate, 12,3441., be paid by inatalments, Mr. Nichelay uid, that he could not allow that vote to pus without calling the attention of the vestry, and the nation at large, to the fact, that the police were employed by the Austrian government to pursue and persecute the Hungarians, who sought shelter here from the fangs of that despotic power. Such conduct was illegal—was a disgrace to the English nation, and the English government, and execrated by the rate payers, who paid and supported the police—but who, instead of protect ing the lives and properties of English subjects, were deemed in disguise, and thus employed to hound down the wretched foreigners whom tyranny compelled to fly from their native land, and seek protection on English soil. He did not make these charges hastily or unadvisedly, for he could fully substantiate them. Mr. Hodges corroborated the previous speaker, and unqualifiedly denounced the policy of the government in allowing the police to be so employed. The motion for paying the police -rate wu ulti mately carried. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tuts DAY.
