RORRUCH stands just now in a position he much loves, which he has often striven for, and not unfrequently attained. For the moment he is the moat prominent man in the kingdom. The business of the empire waits upon his personal plea. sure, and will stand still to-night or proceed as he disposes. In this interval of compulsory inaction the only thing that is left to us is to contemplate the central figure of the soon*. Mr. ROZIWCR, we believe, cannot reckon on a single follower in the House. He has not the gifts of a leader, and as a coadjutor he is notoriously unsafe. Nevertheless be is in an important sense a representative man. The character in which he is best known, and in which he for a long time most loved to appear, is that of a tribune of the people, and in the eyes of thousands he is accepted es the example and type of popular liberalism. Without wishing to assign more importance to Mr. Rozeuce than belongs to him, we readily acknowledge that there is very much included in that wide designation which he most faithfully re presents. It needed this American war, which has applied the touchstone to so many reputations and so many systems, to bring out the weaknesses of popular liberalism, to show how much is rotten beneath its fair exterior, how destitute it is of principles and aims, how often it is merely a mass of class jealousies, of hatreds, denials, and unbelief's, powerful only for obstruc tion and demolition, caring for no ends of society which GOD has ordained or man can approve, sad held together, when it is held together, only by the compression of opposing forces. Of this obsolete and helpless pseudo-liberalism, the dregs of the controversies of a past generation, little understood, but so far as understood deservedly pitied and condemned by all generous minds, Mr. ROEBUCK is the worthy representative. Turbulent, iconoclastic, anarchical, he looks back upon a career as unproductive as it is restless. Services, indeed, he has rendered to the publjc, which the public remembers, but they have been for the most part the services of the public execu tioner, very necessary, and fit to be rewarded, but not of a kind to bring honour to the per former. Of occasions when the role of the lowest minister of justice has almost passed into that Of the political assassin it is needless to speak, but they are not forgotten. There are few public men whom Mr. Roxaccx has not at some time or other affected formally to dismiss from political life, and the mortification with which he sees them occupying the highest places in public esteem he bag not the self control to conceal. Many sincere Liberals have been surprised as well aa grieved at the course which Mr. Rossucc has taken on the American question. They thought that without believing in Mr. LINCOLN'S statesmanship or Mr. SEWARD'S sincerity, or Hoossa's tactics or BURNSIDE'S constitutional law, without even approving of the policy of making war for the restoration of the Union, he might at least have given his good wishes to a community which, notwithstanding great errors and short comings, has realised some of the most important ends of society, to a degree never known before in the history of the world. They have been scandalised at seeing him become the open advocate of another community which has deli berately committed itself not only to all the bar barism which attends inherited slavery, but to the criminal enterprise of extending that system and making it • new power in the world. Had they better observed Mr. ROEBUCK'S career, they would have been less surprised and shocked. There was nothing in his political life to guarantee his friends against an outbreak of • fanatical reactionary spirit, such as we now see. There is no pledge of ordered freedom, no principle or pro mise of progress in such liberalism as he professes, and which reduced to its elements is simply a naked popular absolutism. For him a revolution will always be a revolution, whether the order of things which it tends to establish be the divine or the infernal. For hi% own sake it would not be worth while to point the moral of Mr. Roxaccx's career. Perhaps it is a small matter that with talents that would have qualified him for statesmanship, and opportunities of distinction such u have fallen to the lot of few, he should in his old age be peddling with public companies, soliciting smallemployments, and one day rilipending and the next flattering an Emperor. But his situation is only too true a figure of that of a large section of the popular Liberal party. This party likes to be told that its weak and abject condition is entirely owing to the unfaithfulness of its aristocratic leaders. It would do better to look within, and re-examine the dicta which it has been content to ac ept for prin ciplea. There must be something wrong in doc trines which lead to a political alliance with men who unblushingly proclaim their mission to expose the absurdity of free society, and found THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1863. the despotism of the few on the loved degradation of the many.

Tus discussion of our action in Japan at the present moment involves questions of principle so essentially similar to those raised by our recent policy in China that it is almost impossible, even were it desirable, to consider the two cases entirely apart. In both countries we have to do with a semi-barbarous people, intensely jealous of European interference, who regard the presence of foreigners amongst them with suspicion and dislike, and who, therefore, until their prejudices are softened by longer intercourse, may easily be roused to express their hostile feeling in acts of mischief and violence. In both empires the government is of a thoroughly oriental type, too weak and divided to maintain order or secure the effective administration of justice at home, and incapable of resisting any organized attack from without. There are, moreover, in both countries large factions more or leas actively opposed to the government, who coerce its policy or defy its power. Under these circumstances it no doubt requires the exer• cise of great judgment and discretion on the part of our representatives to avoid coming into con stant collision with the local authorities, to keep clear of intestine brawl; maintain a strictly pacific policy, and never exceed the simple duties which our position as merchants trading under treaty stipulations may impose. Without constant watch fulness and care, we shall almost of necenity drift into war, or into a policy of active into-vention that would in the end be equally burdensome and expensive. We have already done both in China. We drifted into a war which cost this country eight milliona, and as the legacy of this war we are now drifting into a policy of active intervention which, if persisted in, promises, at no distant date, to entail upon us still graver evils, and infinitely more serious responsibilities. Fortunately, we have not yet got to this pass in Japan, but it is impossible to say how soon we may be involved in a war with the Japanese, that would inevitably be most disastrous to them with out being of the smallest permanent service to us. The discussion raised by Lord CaastAnvom on Friday shows how essential it is that public atten tion should be directed to our proceedings in these distant centres of trade, and the public mind be fully enlightened as to the guiding principles of our commercial intercourse with these semi-bar barous governments. We seem already to be rapidly approaching in Japan the same fatal cycle of local disturbance, diplomatic pres sure, and hostile intervention that has already proved so costly and burdensome in China and elsewhere. A kind of ultimatum has been deli vered to the Government of the TYCOON, and the next mail might bring us the unwelcome tidings that we are actually at war with the Empire of Japan. There is, indeed, some reason to hope that this calamity may be averted, at least for the present. Of all wars a war with a peace ful and peace-loving, but at the same time a weak and semi-barbarous people like the Japanese would be the most deplorable. While we could gain no lasting advantage in such semi-barbarous warfare, we should of necessity do incalculable mischief. We might destroy the principal ports, drive away the com merce of which they are the outlets, fatally disturb the finances of the country, and weaken, if not destroy, the existing Government. Our hostile intervention would thus produce nothing but anarchy, bloodshed, and desolation in a country described by oar representative, Sir RIMIELFORD ALCOCIL, as a kind of Garden of Eden, with thirty millions of people, happy, pros perous, and contented. Such a war would at the same time be as costly to England as it would be ruinous to Japan. And what, after all, should we gain by it I At the close of such a war we must still either make treaties and establish intercourse with the native Government as before, or under take the government of the Empire ourselves. The real fact is that none of our interests in Japan can justify a recurrence to these ex treme and burdensome alternatives. It is no doubt the first duty of the British Government and its representatives in Japan to protect the lives and property of Englishmen during their resi dence in that country. And it is perfectly true that on three different occasions murderous attacks have been made, not only on British residents, but on the British Legation at Yeddo. But there is no evidence to show that the Government was implicated in these attacks, nor has it refused the demands made for reparation. In two cases it succeeded in bringing the offenders to justice, and the failure in the third case was probably due rather to want of power than want of will. But in a case of this sort, if the Government should fail from inability, is the only alternative war or domestic revolution I That appears to be the doctrine laid down broadly enough by some of the speakers in the course of Friday night's debate. Lord WODEROVIR, for example, quickly reduced the whole question to the simplest dimensions. " Here "we have," he said, " a weak and rich nation " scattered over a large territory, with whom our " merchants are determined to trade. We must " follow our traders, and extend to them pro " tection and the administration of justice, as " far as that is possible." This broad principle would, if accepted, justify any amount of interference—not only war, bat theestabliahment of a British protectorate over the Empire of Japan, if that were the only means by which our traders could be effectually protected. This is too large a venture. Extended commercial intercourse is no doubt of great value, but, like other things, it may be purchased at too high a price. Most Englishmen will agree with Lord Caasaa- VON in holding that, while the acquisition of new markets is desirable, it is " a very bad commercial " bargain to obtain a few thousand pounds worth " of good at the cost of six or eight millions of money " for an Eastern war." In the long run trade will always take care of itself, and find new and appro priate fields, without any such costly machinery for its extension and protection.

This was followed by • letter from the thered• — lieeeiee. fie. King in which the latter energetically disapproved of the address. The King demanded • rectification in the journals in the event of the report being incorrect, and that the prince should pledge himself to avoid all such declarations in future ; otherwise the prince would be recalled to Berlin, where it would be decided whether or not he should retain his command. The Kiog and the ministry thought at first of violent measure; the latter, however, thought better of it and advised clemency. The reply of the Prince Royal was as needy as possible as follows : "My words were not thoughtlessly uttered. For a long time past my conscience and my positios have imposed on me the duty of adhering strongly to the doctrine the truth of which I feel more and more every day. The hope of being able perhaps to avoid contradicting you alone made me keep the voice of my conscience silent But now the ministry, without concerning themselves about me the least in the world, have adopted reeolntiona which compromise my future and that of my children. I will defend my convictions with the PSMO courage that you defend yours. I can, then, retract nothing; but I will maintain silence. As to my position in the army and in the ministry. I lay that at your feet. I beg you to name the place where you wish to see me take up my residence, or to give me permission to choose myself the spot where I may live an absolute stranger to politics." This letter appears to have made a great impression on the King. The King had prevented M. de Bismarck from communicating to the ministry the protest of the prince. From that moment the only thought was to prevent the prince from taking sty new pclitical steps. The reply of the King to the prince was conceived in moderate terms. The King said that he did not wish to prevent his son from expressing himself frankly to his father, but he required him to keep silence towards everyone else, without which the punishment with which he had been threatened would take effect. " I also," added the King, " have a con science." Then came, bat much later, the reply of M. de Bismarck to the prince, letter. In this it was said, "It depends upon your royal highness to lighten or to render more difficult our great task. We are, moreover, faithful ser vants of his Majesty. I also have a oonacience," This closes the eorrespoodenoe. It is impossible to fore see what will be the attitude of the prince in future it is asserted, however, that be intends to publish a protest. The prince has discussed with no one but the Princess Royal the letters he has written to his father. We may add that somewhere in the south of Germany advice was given him to resign his offices at an early period. We may further add that the correspondence between the King of the Belgians and the Prince Royal is at this moment more active than ever. _ . . (KEUTKR'S TZLEGIAMIL) THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CR ICOW.

Should the House of Commons get through the few remaining votes, as expected, by Thursday, it will be possible to carry through the Apure - riatioci clause, so as to prorogue parliament on Thursday, the 28th of July• —olwryer. THS EXHIBITION BUILDINO.-00 the very day following the vote sgaisst the purchase of this building in the House of Commune, Messrs. Kelk and Lucas laid their plans for at once beginning to pull down the whole structure. So little loss of time was there in making these arrangements that by last Monday almost all the floors of the east and west transepts bad been puffed up, and the owners of the few things yet remaining —organs, fountains, ka., had begun to remove them. Such progress has been made in this work that the whole building m now encircled by a huge hoarding, famed of the floor boards, which pro jects far into the road, and which is likely to be an eyesore Tor years to come. Since the middle of brat week, however, the work of demolition bad been stopped, for negotiatiooa are now going on between the Alexandra Perk Company and the contractors for the purchase of every part of the building except the picture galleries. This Alexandra Park Company, as many of our readen are aware, is a company which hes been lately formed for the purpose of establish ing a North London Crystal Palace on the slopes of Mtn wall-hill, sod the view from which is, if possible, more etrikieg than that to be gained from the hills of Norwood. It is not often that a building of the size and composition needed for such a structure is in the market, and the direc tors have, therefore, availed themselves of the first chance which offered of eecuriog that et South Kensington. The offer is to purchase all, except the picture galleries, as it now stands —nave, domes, and side courts—to remove it to MoswelLhill, and then erect it as a permanent rival to the Crystal Palace. Of nuns the manner in which the building, if purchased, will be adapted to its new situation has not yet been decided, but we believe it is intended to put one of the domes over the centre of the nave, sod to use the other apart mid distinct from the main building as a palm-hones. It is intended, of course, to redecorate the nave in a rich and permanent manner, to give it a slate roof, and render its side courts perfectly water-tight with leaden getters between the ridge-antLfurrow glue roofs. Properly pat together, and with an outer caning where it now abuts on the brickwork, it might be made a commo- dious and attractive building for its intended purpose, and certainly a cheep one for the company. Mr. Minton's ma , jells fountain, under the east dome, has been presented by that paillasse to the South Keenlagtos Museum.—!quip, NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE MEETING. The attendance at this meeting was very nume rous on Saturday, mainly induced from the combined attractions of floe weather, the final result of the contest for the first stage of the Queen's Prize, and the commence ment of the competition for the Prince of Wale.' Prize of 1004, open to the holders of the County Association National Rifle Association bronze medals, seven shots each, at 200, 500, and 600 yards ; the commencement of the contest for the St. George's Challenge Vase, with gold, silver, and bronze crosses, photographs of the vase, &c., open to one representative from each battalion of volun teers, besides several other prizes. There were many car riages on the ground, but these were few in number to what are expected to be present this day, when the Prince of Wales has notified hie intention of being present to witness the shooting for the Alexandra prize of 5W., and the great contest between eleven selected members on each side from the House of Lords and the Howe of Commons ; and the occasion is expected to be one of the most brilliant ever witnessed by the association, excepting the period when it was honoured by the presence of her Majesty at ita inauguration. In anticipation of this event arrangements have been made by the London and South Western Rail way Company to run special trains to Wimbledon a , Putney during the day if it should be found tau Dessau to do so, but it is to be hoped that at either terminus a sufficient number of vehicles will be found to convey visitors to the camp at moderate prices. In our reportin Saturday's impression a notice appeared of another slight accident which had occurred to a marker while marking at a target where the disc system was adopted, but the injury sustained was of so trifling a nature as not to require any special remark after the other more serious accidents which had occurred on two former days. As General Hay and Colooel Steele had withdrawn the Guards from those mantelets where the disc sy stem of marking was in use, the council had taken upon them selves the responsibility of continuing by the aid of the volunteers a mode of marking which had met with their unanimous approval, and the only ques tion they had to consider was how far it could be done with safety to the persons engaged in that duty. The marker had to leave the inner part of the 'matelot to ' point with the disc to the part of the target where the shot had struck, and at the same time to rub out the mark with a brush axed to the back part of the dim, thus always keeping the target clean, a process which was of consider able advantage to direct the marksman at the firing point • but it had this disadvantage, that before the marker coul d get far back into his hut, a shot was sometimes discharged. and he was struck by the rebound, or as it is technically termed the splash, of the bullet from the target. The last event induced the council to consider whether further precautions could not be taken, which, while con tinuing the disc system, should give perfect security to the marker, and accordingly on Saturday a number of what are called dummy, or imitation targets were placed over the mantelet, and the marker had the meats of pointing with a disc to a corresponding part of it to that struck on the real target, and thus avoiding the risk which had been previously incurred in pointing it out on the real target itself. This plan has been considered as very satisfactory, and it is sincerely to be hoped that there has been an end to those mishaps which have attended the present meeting. While on this subject we may remark, that on Saturday a notice was posted, stating that the following persona were disqualified from taking any further part in the pre sent meeting for the reasons stated : " Steuart, sth Itenfrewshire—For having fired when the disc was raised, and before receiving the word 'Ready; in the House of Lords' prize, at target No. 21.. King, Surrey Rifles—For having fired when the red flag was raised. Wood—For having fired at the wrong target. Usham, 40th Kent—For having fired at No. 1 range, 500 yards, pool target, when the red flag was up and the markers out. " EDMOND ST. JOHN MILDHAT, Secretary." From the above it will be seen that the council are deter mined to act vigorously, and properly so, with regard to persons who disregard the necessary regulations. The running deer VIA again on Saturday most extensively patronised, and with a success, as far as one of the competi tors is concerned, that has been unequalled, Captain Her bert of the Coldstream Guards having made no lees than seven bull's eyes. Up to five o'clock the number obtained was as follows : J. Sterling, 29th Lanarkshire, 1 ; Augustus, Roes, 2 ; Lieut, Whits, 25th West Yorkshire, 1 ; Captain Herbert, Coldstream Guards, 7 ; J.

On Friday evening, during the camp meeting, the band of the G division of police, under the direction of Mr. W. Lake, bandmaster, late of the Royal Artillery, played some choice selections from the Huguenots, Mara.; Puritani, and other operas, the performances being attended by Lord and Lady Eloho, Earl and Countess Grosvenor, Madame Otto-Goldamidt, and several officers in the camp. Oa Seturdey the band of the Queen's Westruluster Corps played throughout the afternoon. The St. George's Vim contest attracted a large number of competitors, but it was finally gained by Mr. Jopling, of the Civil Soma., and winner of the Queen's Prue the year before last.
