LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 14. Tea discussion which took place in the House of Commons list night upon the arrangements for the public reception of the Princess ALEXANDRA was very necessary for the satisfaction of the public. The City Corporation had the advantage of being strongly represented in the House by the LORD MAYO/ and Alderman &mill and although few people will be !convinced that their authorities have not shown an unwarrantable self-sufficiency, and been guilty of something approaching to badfaith towards the Quaait, they have had an opportunity of urging some extenuating circumstances which it is only just should be remembered. That their grand civic procession was a failure, owing to their inability to marshal it, is of small consequence ; but they ought to have taken precautions against men clambering upon the royal carriage and riding with their illustrious guests. It was very unfortunate for the Corpora. tion that it lost its able Chief Constable just be fore an occasion when his skill and experience were peculiarly needed. Had Mr. Huiviy been alive, we can hardly doubt that he would have obtained the assistance of the Metropolitan Police, as he did when the Emperor of the Fitxmcir visited the City. The LORD MAYOR denied last night that the assist ance of the Metropolitan Police had been offered, but he did not state that it had been asked and refused. On the other hand, Sir ()mum GREY stated, on behalf of Sir RICHARD Mars; that a distinct offer to take charge of lleet•steeet was made by him at the meeting of the City Reception Committee on the 28th of February. We fear the'. the key to this misunderstanding is to be found in the spirit of the LORD MAYORC3 very ungracious suggestion that the success of the procession was destroyed by the Metropolitan Police. Now that the failure has occurred the apologists of the City speak of the narrowness of its street', and prove that you can not put a quart of porter into a pint pot. Alder- DIM SIDNRY points out that the crush would not have been so great if the LORD MAYOR bad been al lowed to go with all his chivalry to Pad dington. All this simply leads to the fact that the Corporation undertook to do more than was practi cable. They occupied more ground with their companies, trumpeters, and banner-bearers innu merable, and by the promise of an imposing pageant drew more people from all parts to see it than were attracted to any section of the route of equal length. Space for space, there were probably twice as many people in the streets of the City as elsewhere. In Pall-mall, which was very crowded, there was, even when the PRINCiSS passed, room to walk freely between the crowd and the shops ; in the City it was everywhere a struggle forbreath. The Corporation no donbtmeant to honour the Perm.= by the display of a stately show, such as was not attempted in any other part of London, and which the Mime of the Rows had evidently no mind to match with the royal equipages; but in trying to do too much they not only missed their aim, but even placed their fair guest in personal jeopardy. It moreover seems pretty clear that the Volunteers increased the con fusion. The City is justly proud of its Volunteer Corps, but it has not yet learnt their use. Even if they had got on the ground in good order they would have done no service. Sir Dr Lew/EVANS had good warrant for saying that they are not ( the kind of troops to keep the ground on such occasions. The country values them, neighbour ing nations respect them, and in a war the enemy would feel their prowess; but among the classes which, for the meet part, make up our great crowds, they have not gained the esteem that is their due. By the many they are regarded as holding much the same relation to the regular army as a tradesman's token does to • real half penny. On the whole, we are compelled to think that the Corporation has not so much to complain of being unfortunate as it has to accuse itself of bad management and neglect. The consequence is that it is in danger of losing the administration of ita own police. We should regard this u a real mis fortune at a time when oenlanlization is making a progress far too rapid. It is for the Corporation to avert it. The principle of local self-govern ment which has made Englishmen politically the most self-helpful people in the world, like all other principles, will stand or fall by its results. The Corporation of the City of London have discre dited it on this occasion. Let them repair the mischief by selecting for the Chief Commissioner of THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENII4G, MARCH 14, 1863: •• their Police the most capable man in the whole country, and let them do it quickly. Sir RICHARD MAYNE has received from all aides well deserved praise for his management of that large portion of London which was last Saturday entrusted to his care, but he also has had his troubles. The Park, as well as the streets west of Temple-bar, was given into his hands, and ha proceeded to make arrangements for it with Om aim which governed all his plans, that of gratify ing the largest possible number of persona with a sight of the Princess ALEXANDRA and the oppor tunity of paying her honours. Among those who were to be thus cared for were 17,000 Volunteers, consisting not only of metropolitan corps, but of regiments from various parts of the country. Everybody willacknowledge the propriety of giving so representative a portion of the public a good opportunity of seeing the Royal procession, and 'by Sir RICHARD Msvers's arrangements it was provided. It was understood that the route through Hyde-park had been chosen for the very purpose of allowing a much greater num ber of persons to greet the nemeses than could do so in the streets. On Saturday morning, however, it was found that some Staff officer had ordered and almost driven the police from the ground assigned to them, and had marked off in the rear of the two lines to be occupied by the Volunteers a blank space of forty yards, in the rear of which the loyal crowd was to stand and get the best view it could—a plan by which the purpose of the Chief Commissioner was completely defeated. Sir R. MAYNE writea:—" It was my " intention that so much ground only sho uld be " occupied as would allow room for the Royal " cortege and the columns of Volunteers at the " side. I was much annoyed on coming into the " Park to6nd that the police were acting contrary " to my orders ; the effect being to deprive many " thousands of all sight of the PRlNcras, and to " deprive the Royal party of the joyous cheering " which had been heard elsewhere at every point. I " have never witnessed such hearty and continued " exclamations of welcome as were given on " Saturday by countless multitudes of all chases " from the Borough along the whole route." The exclusion of the public from some of the best situations in the Park caused just dissatisfaction, and it was noticed in the newspapers ; but Sir R. liAvrtz having disclaimed in the Times any respon sibility for the arrangement, the incident might have passed into forgetfulness had not Lord Emit° forced it on the attention of the House of Com mons and given Lord HOTHAM an opportunity of stating the simple facts. All Lord ELCHO could say last night was that in the judgment of the General in Command the broad space in the rear of the Volunteers was necessary for manoeuvres and marching past. But, as Lord HOTHAM cor rectly observed, it was not the time for showy movements of any kind. Nor were such performed. All the Volunteers had to do was to take their places, keep them, and when the PRINcEss had panted, go home—a duty which they performed with praiseworthy devotion. Sir RICHARD MAYNE and the Horse Guards authorities were playing at cross purposes : while he was contriving how to gratify the largest number of loyal people, both in and out of uniform, they were thinking of a military spectacle. It would have been well if Lord Blotto had refrained from this attack upon a public servant, who, if he has certain faults, which his Lordship is not the man to discover, certainly contributed more than any other official person to the success of the popular demonstration which greeted the Princess ALEXANDEA. THE QUEEN AND THE LATE LOSS OF LIFE IN THE CITY. The following letter from Sir George Grey, ex pressing the sympathy of her Majesty the Queen with the families of the sufferers during the recent illuminations in the City, has been received by the Lord Mayor : _ _ Whitehall, March 13, 1863. My dear Lord, — I am commanded by the Queen to expre the great grief and concern with which her Majesty has read the account in the newspa re of the lamentable loss of life which occurred n the streets of the City on Tuesday night.

The Polish petition is indeed on the order of the day for to-morrow, but there is a great deal of business before it, and I do not be lieve that it is intended to be brought on. In 0011- sequence of the uncertainty of the French govern ment as to the course to be taken, I think it very doubtful whether, when the petitions do come on, K Billault will make the great speech expected. It is very likely that the petitions will be referred to the consideration of the Minister of Foreign Affairs without any decisive ministerial declaration on the subject of them. K Boulanger, a councillor-general of Valen ciennes, has written to K Thiers to ask whether it is true that he means to stand at the general elec tion, and if so, to promise him his vote and interest in case he does not 1310 , 431 to " threaten the existing order of things." K Thiers, in a letter dated March 9, replies that, being unwell, he must request a few days' time before giving a complete answer ; but that, meanwhile, the published report of what he said at the meeting at the Duke de Broglie's may be taken as an indication of the sense in which his answer will be framed. The important fact that Thiers is a candidate is therefore now officially avowed. The France asserts that Langiewicz has declined the proffered services of Garibaldi, on the ground that, the movement in Poland being essentially national, he does not wish to offend those classes of Poles who might object to succour of an exclusively revolutionary character. The Grand Opera is to be closed during the whole of Passion week. This is a return to the usages of the Restoration ; ever since 1831 the theatres have been open every day in Lent except Good Fnday.

Barthe, the Mayor of Versailles, died of apoplexy on Wednesday afternoon, while going from Paris to Versailles in a cab. The driver, when arrived at Sevres, did not know the way, and turning round to look in at the window of the carriage, found that his fare was dead. The de ceased, though apparently in good health, must have had some premonitions of danger, for In his pockets were fouud two prescriptions from different physicians, and his going to Versailles in a cab instead of by the railway leads to the supposition that he feared the shaking of the train. The Bourse has very nearly lost the rise it ex perienced yesterday. Political rumours still occa sion doubt and uneasiness.

COLOVIS STANTON TO EARL (Extract.) utzu,—(ltuesived July 28). Warsaw, July 22, 1862. . _ I regret to have to report, to your lordship that, notwith standing the recent changes is the government of this country, and the announcement of further improvements to be made in the administration as soon as circumetanoes will permit, the situation of affairs here does not appear to hays materially altered. Considerable excitement Grids at the present moment in this town,! which may, perhaps, be ad oounted for by the fact of numerous armies having been made within the last few days, both in Wanaw and in the country districts ; and it is rumoured that some clue has been discovered of the existence of a very extensive secret organisation amongst the working classes in the capital and principal towns of the kingdom. Whether any confession has as yet been made by the prisoner who made the attempt on the life of the Grand Duke, I am unable to state positively to your lordship, but it is highly pro bable that such may have been the case, and that the m inute remedy made may be traced to this came. I beg also to inform your lordship that it has been de cided that the trial of Jsrcsxynaki (the person who fired at the Grand Duke) by court-martial shall take place as soon as the preliminary investigations are concluded ; and that, contrary to the usual custom in this country, the court will not be conducted with dosed dome or in secret, but that ticket, of admission to the court will be issued to certain persons, so as to make the proceedings public ; and it has been hinted to myself that the consuls of the foreign powers will be requested to attend the trial. No. 2. BAsoi Baraniow To Su G. Gum. Disrobe= House, July 31, 1882. MT OWL SLR 01.0601.—Permit me to apply to your oon stoat kindness towards me under a circumstance of peculiar importance, which I shall explain in a few words. The Grand Duke Constantine, during his former stay in this country, has been particularly impressed with the bene &dial influence which your police regulations exercise for the maintenance of good order, legality, and public security. His Imperial Highness is desirous of establishing a similar institution in the kingdom of Poland, whose welfare is en trusted now to his care by his Majesty the Emperor. The Grand Duke is the more anxious to introduce a useful reform Into this branch of the public service, as such a reform may enable him to put aa end as soon as possible to the now ex isting martial law, and to replace the country under the 'ale of a regular civil administration. For this purpose the Grand Duke has thought it highly important to secure for a very short time (say two months) the presence at Warsaw of an intelligent and active police =Soar, who might communicate to the authorities there his practical views on the subject of the organisation of this branch of public *orrice on a similar footing as it is in this country. Taking into consideration the importance of the contem plated reform, I do not hesitate to apply to you with the hops that you will kindly lend me your sasistanos for wry ing it into effect se far uit is in your power. The gut step to be taken would be to allow Sir Richard Mayne to put himself into communication with a gentleman to whose care the Grand Duke has directly and privately entrusted this object, en intimately connected with the sooner of his own administration.—Believe, me, &c., (Signed) BRUNNOW. No. 3. Acnso Consul. Warn ro RAIL Rusazu. (R.oosived Jan. )5,1863.) Warsaw, Dec. 21,_1862._ Mr Loan,—l have the honour to report to your lordship that certain modifications have been introduced into the operation of martial law in the kingdom of Poland. According to these modifications, which have been autho rieed by his Majesty the Emperor, the restrictions imposed by the state of siege have been removed in a great part of the kingdom of Poland. They, however, remain in full force in the city of Warsaw and seven other torus, in all those places which are situated on the two railway lines connecting Warsaw with foreign countries, and in the following three districts, viz ,—Lipno, Petricau, and Kras nystaw ; it having been found neesseary to restore the stale of siege in the latter district after an interruption of tea weeks, whilst it has never ceased to exist in the other two districts above noutioned since its promulgation in October, 1861. The practice of trying all political offence' throughout the kingdom of Poland by court-martial is, however, positively retained by this enactment, having continued in force since the ukase of the Emperor Nicholas on the 11-7.3 rd April, 1833. It Is also probable (though no mention is made to that effect) that the examination of political pnaoners, the system of prison discipline previous to their condemnation, end the piectios of the courts-martial in trying them, are to con untie such as have been in force in Ramie under martial law from time immemorial. These courts have been instructed, however, in passing sentence oa civilians for political mimes within the kingdom of Poland, to be guided in future by the provisions of the Civil Criminal Code introduced here ia 1847, or rather ao cording to its last Russian edition of 1867, instead of con demning to penalties prescribed by the Military Code here tofore in use in such came. Another important modification in the practice of these Court, has been introduced both io Russia and here since September last. The prisoners are allowed counsel to de fend them, and the military commander is to select a pro curator to conduct the prosecution on behalf of the Crown, to draw up the indictment, and to watch the proceedings and to reply to the objections of the prisoner's comma The right, however, to be last heard belongs to them. The right of bein defended by an advocate was first con ceded to Jarcegyneki in August last, as until then it bad been only nominal. In fact, both this privilege end the admission of the public to thee. trials is due to the inter vention of the Grand Duke Oonstantioe, who has through out shown a meet praiseworthydesire to amend the arbi trary system of proceeding in political calm heretofore in use ; and although the whole system of military jurispru deuce still continues to present in this country many strik ing instances of anomalies sad irregolarities, it is gratifyiag to see bow anxious his imperial highs's' is to introduce amendments required by the ideas of modern civilimatioo, however unnamable to the men of the old school in his native country. 1 have, &a., (Signed) W.
