Tas alleged appointment of Mr. STIJAIIT WOZTLIT be tbsedise of Bolicitor•General can in no respect be regarded as satisfactory. The legal profession, the political supporter of Lord Pahnuerox, and the general public, are alike at a loess for.the motives that can have dictated such a nomination. We need not remind our readers that the choice of the Parlia mentary Lew Officers of the Crown avowedly rests on different grenade from those which influence the selection of hedges. Legal learning is, indeed, an indispensable requisite in both cues; bet in choosing an Attorney or Solicitor General it is sallleisatly notorious that legal lousing is not by any means the only test, bat that reference most aka be bad to thine politial considerations which ought wholly to be kept out of sight in promotions to the judicial beach. The Attorney and Solicitor General are ez•nfficio members of the Ministry. Their province Is to milieu, and sestet the Cabinet in all the legal holiness of the State, and to support in the House of Commas sash measures of the Government as may be in any degree connected with the administration of the law. They are in fact not merely legal but political inactions:in, and, se each, by an almost invariable rule hare been selected from among thole lawyers who, in addition to profusion'', distinction, have come forward u parliamentary supporters of the Government. In the present day the sphered duty devolving on the Law Officers of the Crown has is one most important respect been ma• terially enlarged. In the abuses of any established Department of Justice, it is epos these function aries that it mainly devolves to advise Government not only ea what the law is, but en what it ought to be. The Attornf y And Solicitor General of the day are the principal Geverneneat manual Law Re form; and Law Reform, let Lord PALMEUTON be assured, whatever the Tadpoles and Topers may think of it, is that department of our legal adminis tertian to which the public now-a-days attach more importance than to any other. We have indicated the three requisites which the legal profession, the political supporters of Lor PALNERVION, and the general public, had a right to expect to see in some degree realised in the selection of a new Solicitor-Cleural. They had a right to expect that he would be a man of high legal ability, of liberal Vial,/ in polities, of comprehensive views in the matter of law reform. Dona Mr. STUART WORTLEY is soy one rasped come up to this very reasonable standard of requirement P Unheeitatiegly we answer that he does not. Mr. STUART WORTLEY WAS DIVOT eminent SR a lawyer. The advantages of a strong local and aristocratical coons:los speedily pushed him into a certain extent of business at the West Riding Sessions and on the Northern Circuit, but it soon became apparent that he was not qualified to maintain the position to which he had been thus advanced, rather by the fortunate accidents of powerful friendship than the sterling claim of intrinsic merit. Mr. Wormwee bad• nese on the Northern Circuit had been in a course of steady decline from the period of his all within the bar, in 1811, to that of Ms appointment as Judge Advocate, ander Sir ROBERT PEEL'S administration, in January, 1846. By hie acceptance of that office he necessarily lost whatever circuit practice still remained to him, and from the period of his resign. log ir, on the break up of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry, down to hie election by the City of London u R• corder, in the year 1830, hie professional functions may be regarded as having been virtually in a state of almost absolute abeyance. He has held the dike of Recorder for six years, but in that capacity his duties have been con. fined almost exclusively to the administration of the criminal law, and on all other branches of juridical science and leg4l practice the fair, nay the una voidable, inference is that Mr. STUART WORTLEY in 1836 is even less skilled than he was in 1846. With regard to polities it is pretty sonoefees that Mr. WORTLET 4 OR essay piste a Pulite ati that deep con tire die which is only distingtlahable from Toryism by the prevalence of a buy muted tint ; the " pale cast of political Jesuitism siokly ing over the " native has" of Tory resolution. We have no taste for these natures of parllausatary life, end it is with deep regret that we see Lord PALMERSTON thus shaking the confidemee et the Liberal party, by an attempt to gain owe theme whom he - set en entire attendee. ' claims on popsies . the proepeels ALMEP.STON should a gentlemen whom he cannot secure without an en meat of hi. beet and strongest claim support. It is cot of good augury for of the comieg serum that Lord PALM! hare ctosto as his Solicitor-General THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1856. artkde which complain of the " most absurd reports and the most odious salumnies" wbioh certain parties circulate in Frances We ova understand, though we count puticipate I• the Irritation of the Coisseirsieirousel, for we bare never read anywhere a word of the edematous news to which it alludes. Oa the contrary, we have oft been struck with the extreme respect sad consideration with which the journals speak of all sorts of functieseries, from the " ranthait to the best," as the Conecturiomsol has it, sod eves down to the humblest garde Momper*. After thus bearing witness to the good discipline which prevails among the French journals. the Assembile alludes pleasantly, u follows, to the system of seising foreign ones whenever they contain any thing displeasing to any body in office : We can neither contradict the Corwitationna, nor add oar testimony to its own. We have never read either in the &relish or Garman journals the attacks which have irri tated the Cottaritutiorwwl. Bet it has very often happened that foreign new. papas addressed to us hays miscarried, and, possibly, it may be jut those very miming numbers which contained the statements that ken caused so much emotion. The Bourse has been better to-day than for along time peat. The Rents was very steady without rising sufficiently to tempt any heavy sales. It closed firm at 67k. for cash, and 66k. 9&c. for account—rising 360. and 16c. Mobilise raw 16fr. The railway market was very firm. The principal lines rose from 10fr. to 20k. It was said at the Bourse that the political news was very good, and that Russia was prepared to give up both the Bolgrad question and that of the Isle of Serpents. It is understood that the prohibition against the negotiation of new foreign securities on the Bourse, which certais parties had hoped might be taken off on January 1, will be continued. the Independence Belo says that M. de Morny has been recalled from St. Petersburg. This news, although not yet officially admitted in Paris, seems very probable, since was of the count's horses, car riages, and furniture arrived yesterday at Havre. Moreover, the order given to the Preach government journals to writs against the Russian railway scheme seems to show that his star is eclipsed for the mo ment. In common with many other correspondent', both English and foreign, I was led into an error last week when I announced that Prince Cain had arrived in Paris from London, and that M. Antonini had gone to Brussels. The facts were so stated in a semi official correspondence, bat it turns out that they were not true. It has ken rumoured within the last day or two that the Neapolitan affair may per haps be arranged without the ambassadors quit ting London and Paris respectively. On the other hand, it is asserted by the Independence that a political caricature of a character extremely menacing to Naples, which was published in the Charreari of Saturday, appeared with the express sanction of the French government. This caricature is so droll that I will attempt to describe it. Two sailors, one French and one English, are leaning somas a table with a dish of maccaroni before them. A representation of Vesuvius in the back-ground leaves no doubt as to the locus in quo. The maccaroni, it appears, sticks to the dish, and the English sailor says to the French one," Mon am►, it last meths la main a la pale ; le macaroni ne rest pas filer." (Friend, we must put our hands in the dish; the maccaroni won't come away.) There are two inter pretations of this lea d'aprit. One—and this appears to me the most obvious—is that since the ambas sador' do not demand their passports, they must be sent to them. But some people fancy that the adhe sive maccaroni is typical of the King of Naples him self, and that he must be displaced by force. Count Kisseleff, the Russian ambassador, paid a visit in state this afternoon to Prince Jcrome Napo leon, at the Pales Royal. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, whose arrival at Mar seilles has been announced, embarked on Friday for Corsica. I understand that M. Balla, the sub-prefeot of Bar-sur-Aube, has been appointed chef de division in the department of the press at the Ministry of the Interior, vim M. Petit, resigned. • ' Roesini has decided to fix his residence in Paris. He has taken an apartment at No. 2, Chanute d'Antin, the corner of the Boulevard, at the rent of 10,000 fr. a year. _ _ The Paris corn market, during the past week, has continued inactive, and prices have scarcely varied. The four marks were at 81f. As the price of bread now rates lower, great circumspection is shown by purchasers for the future, and uo more tlaur is bought than is absolutely required. The country markets all tend downwards, though not with any appearance of rapidity. Wheat was not abundant on Wednesday, and higher priors were sated than during the pre ceding week. On Saturday, however, the h3lders, finding that their pretensions were not acquiesced in, were obrged to sell at former prices, that is, without any advance. Wheat from Picardy was sold for 42f. 80c. the 120 kilogrammes, but very little business was transacted. Oa Monday there wu a rise of from lfr. to 2fr. in the markets of Faris and Ma:miller. I who, if we are sot greatly misinform& wee Whim contested the representation of the City at the next election with Lord Josue Rvusit.L Lad Palmist/rote cannot avail himself of the excuse that the present state of the legal profession, as represented by the Liberal lawyers in the Lower House, was such as to drive him to an alternative like this. The names of Messrs. Cowls, Snag, MONTAGU CHAMBERS, ATERRTON, and KEATING, at once suggest themselves in rsfatatioa of such an hypothesis. To not one of the potholes thus named can Mr. WORTLET be considers& on probe sional grounds, so decidedly superior as to justify the selection of a political opponent is preference to a political supporter. To the firstnamed he is decidedly inferior in one of the most important of all requisites for the appointment of a law officer of the Crown. Mr. COLLIER has thrown himself vigorously, systematically, and successfully into the CMS of Law Reform. Mr. WORTLLT has not only never identified himself in any prominent manner with this movement, but on the few occasions when he has had °cession to take part in any discus sions on the subject, has spoken with timorousness and hesitation, arising partly, no doubt, from a strong conservative bias against all i tion, as such, and partly also from profound ignorance of the particular nature and true character of the amendments proposed. This is not the kind of law Officer Lord PALMERSTON wants in order to give additional strength and popularity to his Go vernment in the ensuing messiest. It is of course possible that Mr. WORTLIT may belie when in office the unfavourable anticipations idably formed from a candid review of his previous career in Parliament and at the bar. His personal character sad his general demeanour are undoubtedly in his favour, and should his appointment be confirmed we shall. of mime, be only too happy to find that as a Solicitor- General he displays abilities for which his previous history had not prepared us. Still, whatever may be the result, we shall not cuss to regret that Lord PALMERSTON, apparently for no other reason than that of attempting to gratify as objectionable party of political trimmers, should have departed from the usual courts of official promotion, and passed an un deserved slight on the legal body of his parliamentary supporters Irtit mart.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna states that the Emperor and Empress of Austria left yesterday for Italy, and arrived at Leybsch in the evening. The Brussels Independanee states that the impe rial couple are followed by a niuseross court, and by some members of the diplomatic ono, including Sir Hamilton Seymour. Their Majesties purpose re. mining in Italy until January next. Three weeks will be devoted to Venice. The Emperor is the bearer of an act of amnesty to his Italian ',objects, "from which the court and government of Vienna anticipate the best results." RUSSIA AND THE ALLIES. The Indepeadanee Beige, of yesterday, states in a letter from Paris that Russia demands the neutralisa tion of the Isle of Serpent', and the establishment there of a commission composed of representatives of the various powers; in return she will abandon her pretensions to Bolgrad. The Aete German Gaulle of Berlin says:—" We learn from a good source that the English govern ment has officially notified to the Cabinets of Paris, Constantinople, and Vienna, that the English fleet, now in the Black See, will pass the winter at Sinop.. No notification to that effect has Men made to Ramis, became no doubt the declaration of Lord Stratford de Bedell& to Baron de Boutenieff, that the English fleet will remain in the Black Sea till Russia shall have completely executed the treaty of peace, is considered sufficient." A letter from Constantinople to the Paris Presse says :—" The English cruisers do not get out of sight of the Isle of Serpents. Two frigates and a small steamer are moored before the island, and &corvette is constantly passing to and fro between the island and Odessa. These measures ars evidently taken is order to prevent the Russians from setting foot on the island. Meanwhile, the six Russians, one of whom is an officer and the other a doctor, who find themselves 'transported' upon this rock, Teed a very dull life. They have only some bad biscuits and bacon. Fortunately, the Turk. ish soldiers at the lighthouse keep up friendly rela tions with them, and generously give them of their meagre pittance. It was a Turkish officer who first pre them drinkable water. The English have taken the precaution to deposit a flag at the light house, which is to be hoisted U the Russians show themselves near the island."

" An English gun-boat, having attempted to par• sue into the Sea of Azar soon Remain sloops which had captured Turkish vessels engaged in smuggling salt, was fired upon by the fort of Yenikalfi. " The English interdict the approach of Russian ships to the Isle of Serpents." • PRUSSIA AND A letter from Frankfurt of the 13th, in the MlNS burg News, uya The following steps will, it is reported to us, be made by Prussia in the Neufchatel question. M. de Savigny, Prussian envoy to the Swiss Confederation, will shortly leave Sigmariogen for Berns, in order to read before the council a note relative to the reuses of the prisoners. This note will be firmly supported by the Austrian Minister, 31. de Monshengen ; the Bavarian Minister, M. de Malian; and the representative of Baden, M. de Dosch. In the event of these diplomatic steps not being attended with success, the Prussian government has the intention of marching three corps darrnie against the frontier cantons, and of seizing on Schaff hausen as a pledge. Switzerland would be called upon to pay the expenses of this expedition." ITALY. Letters from Naples of the 12th announce the pub lication of a decree authorisicg the construction of a railway between Naples and the Gulf of Taranto. It i; confidently stated that the Neapolitan go vernment hes remised to make Naples s free port. Naples was tranquil up to the date of the 12th, but business had slackened. PINDMONT. A letter from Nice of Nov.ll says:—" A Russian war•frigate entered the port of Villa:renal at tan this morning. The usual salutes were exchanged with the fort and the Sardinian steamer Governolo.• Intelligence from St. Peterburg, in the Correa pomdant de Hamburg, states that a considerable corps of Russian troops is concentrated on the frontiers of Persia and Turkey, to give effect, in ow of need, to the influence of Russia, if the affairs of Persia and Affaltsnistan should assume a serious character. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (1101 t 00 a AN EARTHQUAKE IN AUSTRIA. A journal published at Laybach, in Styria, da!ed the 10th of Nov., sass :—" We were visited, at 17 agoutis peat 11 o'clock, yes•eraq evening, by a tolerably vehement earthquake. The first shock seems dto Ise in a vertical di. melon. We felt just as if the ground were swelling up into an arch beneath our feet, and ourselves lited sin inches higher. This continued oily for one second. Then we heard a sullen roaring aolseorblch bore some resemblance to the roll of distant thunder, and at the same time came one after ani.tber quickly, several shaking movements in a horizontal direction, two of which were especially vehement, so that we were &true of being throws to the ground by then, or burled oat of our bade. Altogether, perhaps 20 such oscillations occurred in the course of about four 11C011 , 11. These movements appeared to oe from southwest to nortb•weet. The beams of the house roof wens bent in some Instances; the walls were cracked, and the plaster peeled off them, and same articles of (undue, sub as vases and clocks, were thrown down and broken. The earthquake seemed to be more violent on the left bank of the river than on the right bank, but it was not equal to the earthquake which was felt here on the 21st of D.-- umber, 1846. A few chimneys tell in different parts of the town ; bat except these accidents, and evens 'Nadel in the walls, to public edifies or private house was damaged by the earthquake. The direction in which the shcck moved was remarksoly shown is the pyramidal ornaments, f , raed each of three square stone pieces, erected along the wall in front of the Irenciseen church. Tte topmost stone was loosened and split hoesontally, so that part of its side which had been turned towards the north was wrenched round to the north.west. The terror which prevailed in the town may be imagined, as it was fasted that the earthquake would .

PARIS, Idouroav It is consolatory to find that there are already a great many open defections from the standard of " Slavery of the press," which the Cbsailstionsel proclaimed yesterday that a compact body of 36,000,000 Frenchmen was resolved to uphold.

POLISH MEETING. TEE LATE LORD DUDLEY STUART. Yesterday being the annivereuy ef the death of Lord Dudley Stout, the Polish sults uuvabled at Sasses chambers, Dake•street, St. James's, to commemorate this melancholy event by payisg a tribute of respect and gran ted* to the memory of the deputed champion of the Polish OGINO, _ _ etunoOn occupied the chair, end opened the pro endings by a review of the private virtues and public oho. ratter alba departed nobleman, end of his entire devotion to Poland, and the loss it has sustained by his prosnatoze death. _ Major EMLCZIW6LI then rose, and spoke u follows Another yeas has elapsed mince the death of Lord Dudley Stuart, and we have assembled once more to do honour to his memory—to show that in the g'oom of disappointment, as in the flush of hope, we remember with equal gratitude the friend whose beautiful devotion toour emu was proved most conspictioueiy in adversity, though ever aspiring towards a better day; and though the future prospects of our country may at this moment he more clouded then ever, I know I shall be speaking the tend meat of every true Pole when I ssy, that through the dark mist of lowering chides the ntmo of Lord Dudley Stuart will ever shine out like a star of hope and promise, cheering weary patriots to new ezertions, beckoning them onward to the goal which, if they flag not, must, sooner on later, be attained, for " the battle is to the brave," though the day of victory may be beg deferred, and its Unite may only grow out of the graves of those wee won it. It was thus with our lamented friend and benefactor. He was taken away from among us at the very moment when events were demonstrating the accuracy of the view, and opinions he had so long acd patiently advocated, in spite of scoffs and tidied,; and even in "Mu it tailed to ac complish the recent war bears testimony to his political foresightedness, and his rare sagacity ; for it was not only he that had for years been poicei. g tut Utz. nefarious policy_ of Bruit, that threatened Engisrd and the rest of Europe as much suit oppressed Poland, nut it was he who —when the eyes of Europe had at lei'Mth been opened, and the conflict was impending—was the first to proclaim from his sett in parliament that a successful naval war against Russia could only be waged with gar:hosts, zed that on land en effectual war against her could only be feught with Pole.. Events have justified these predictions. The allies have been TiCtOtiOUP, it ie true (end their bravery and endurance have gained for them the warmest admiration of the Poles, as of all otter nations), pence has been Con cluded, Rani& hos been thrown back for a while, perbape e but has eke been subdued? Has that policy which has so long hung like a threuenie g cloud on the botizon of Europe received a lasting cheek / Have those wily intrigues been stayed which, like the gleams of lightning, were ever striking down whole lean e ap-cted, end 'airing diffieulties that pat the wreriestdialoiriatists at fault? The recent circular ot Prince Gortactakeff, tae in which she is endeavouring to evade the otipulatims of the treaty of Paris, the shadows of change which rave been flitting oven the Western Alliances, the obstinacy of the Ring of Naples, the absolutist revolution in Spain, the uneuitiess felt throughout Europe, so diff- rent ficra the joy and security experienced after the conclusion of a bole fad peace—all these must give the answer. Indeed, the whole state of Europe points now, as before, to Lord Dudley Stuart's policy, us regards Poland, so the only (flamed cure for the chronic disorder under which it leas been suffering ever since the annihilation of our national indepeedecce. An ' independent Poland, upraised again between Europe and Russia, is the only means of effectually checking her aggressive European policy, and her undue inflames and power in the West, and is the oeiy buts on which a free Italy and a free Hungary can be permanently esta blished, and the equilibrium be restored 'Mich will leave no other battle-fields open to the nations of Europe than those of peaceful industry, and moral and intellectual pro. grew. In nyihr this, lam giving utterance to oonvietions based on far defter foundations than the hope of impend ing revolutionary outbreaks in Europe—far they are founded on an unswerving faith in God's provi dential guidance of the world's history; sad I would say to every Pole, at home and abroad, Let an set with conecientiouscees and zeal in whatever sphere our lot may be cost, feeling assured that the greater re 'pea and muff tepee we gain for cur elves as individuals, the more healthy and productive the energies we put forth—whether it be in promoting the growt:i of industry and true enlightenment, and the develoi mutt of feelings of good-will and mutual confidence between elan and class at home, or it be merely Maui irg in the sweat of our brow to gain our daily breed in a foreign land, the more effectually we shall be forwarding the cause of the liberty and independence of oar beloved fatherland, though our heads may go down to the grave before the tieal victory is gained." In earning for ourselves the respect of the world, we shall also be most truly henourieg the memory of him whe less aver defending the character of the Pelee, whether as a nation or es individuals, from the foul asper sions cast upon it, and be proving in the noblest that his name is embalmed in the best affections of our grateful hearts.
