LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 23. THE outbreaks at Stalybridge, which began on Friday, form the first breach of the peace that has occurred during the long period of severe distress in the Cotton Districts. They are, however, un happily of a serious, not to say of an alarming, kind ; and thought unattended with loss of life or dangerous personal injuries, have resulted in the damaging or destruction of a considerable amount of property. The rioters have directed their principal attacks against the mills and private dwelling houses of certain well-known firms, and the stores and offices of the Relief Committee, smashing in a number of shopkeepers' windows by the way. The military have been sent for, and the Riot Act has been read. Sixty of the chief rioters have been taken into custody, and twenty-nine of these were on Saturday committed by the magistrates for trial at the Chester Assizes. The alleged, and no doubt the immediate, cause of the out break was the proposed reduction of fourpence a head in the rate of weekly relief, and the new system of payment by tickets on shopkeepers in stead of money. Before hearing what the local Relief Committee have to say on the matter it would, however, be unfair to pronounce a decisive opinion on the justice, the necessity, or the pro priety of these changes. Whatever reasons may have existed for the proposed reduction in the rate of relief, observers at a distance can hardly help regretting that the change should have been adopted and carried out at a moment when so much excitement prevailed in the town and neigh bourhood. But, of course, trivial changes of this kind, even though enforced in a harsh, distrust ful, and unfriendly spirit, would not for a moment justify or even excuse the lawless violence of the mob. Looked at apart, indeed, they are wholly insufficient to account for this serious outbreak and wanton destruction of property. English working mon, even of the most ignorant and de graded class, do not hastily take the law into their own hands, and are the last people in the world to seek vindictive satisfaction for the first fancied wrong, or the sudden and violent redress of even a real injury. The fact is, the feelings of irritation and dis content that exploded at Stalybridge on Friday had not only been growing and deepening for many weeks, but bad of late been artificially stimu lated, until they had reached a pitch of excitement and exasperation that might at almost any moment and on any pretext have led to a breach of the peace. It is important, however, to remember that Stalybridge is quite an exceptional case, and that this excitement and tendency to law less acts is in the strictest sense local. The causes which have produced this unhappy out break are of very partial and limited operation, as all familiar with the history of the distressed districts, or in the least ac quainted with the feelings and opinions of the cotton operatives as a body, know perfectly well. Those causes have often been adverted to by our Special Correspondent, and some of them are clearly detailed in his letter of this morning refer ring to this lameetable riot. In the first place, it must be remembered that the opera tives of Stalybridge are unhappily amongst the least instructed of their clam. There has always existed amongst them the dregs or sediment of the old physical force Chartist agita tion, and this, as may be imagined, is a violent and excitable element that would naturally strive to work its way to the surface in a season of dis turbance and distress. The position and circum stances of the operatives at Stalybridge have un- ' happily afforded but too much scope for the opera tion of this evil influence. They have been sub jected, in common with the limited district of which Ashton is the centre, to special trials and temptations. Owing to the unfortunate jealousies and animosities, political and religious, that divide the town, there have been at Ashton from the first, rival Relief Committees actively canvas sing for operative support, and outbidding each other in the rate of relief afforded, as well ea in the amount of wages offered to the girls and women in the rival sewing -schools. While Ashton has thus been, as it were, glutted with relief, Staly bridge, only four miles off, has been comparatively starved. Thcre is there only one Committee of Relief, and they have of course been obliged to act on more fired and economical principles than pre vailed in the adjacent town. The operatives have known and felt the difference, and this tended to produce a feeling of irritation and discontent. This feeling seems to have been industriously worked upon by the old Chartist agitators, who had, since the total collapse of the movement, lived in' comparative seclusion, amongst others by an obscure dissenting clergy man, once locally notorious as a Chartist dema gogue. Indignation meetings were held ten days ago at the instigation of those who hoped to turn the present feeling to personal or poli tical account. Strong resolutions against the method of affording relief were passed at those meetings, and it is very possible that the conduct of some of the inillowners or the local authorities may have afforded some pretext for these proceed ings. The important point to be noticed is that the feeling is strictly local. There is no prospect or probability of its spreading through the distressed districts, or affecting any considerable body. of the cotton operatives in any of the larger towee. - On the contrary, we believe the great mass of working men in the North will deplore this disgraceful out break as sincerely as any other class of their fellow countrymen. Undoubtedly, however, the outbreak shows in • forcible and significant manner the dangers to be apprehended from supporting • large body of working men in enforced idleness by charitable relief. While such idleness must be a severe trial to all the higher virtues of character in the very best, it will inevitably soon prove destructive to others less gifted. There are • vast number of the weaker, the less informed and less reflective, whoare altogether creatures of instinct and habit, and who, when the habit of work, the routine of industrial occupation is gone, lose most other virtues with it, and become the easy victims of appetite and passion. In • word, amongst only a million ope ratives there must be • large number who cannot stand the trial of such a crisis, and must be fatally demoralised by continued inaction. Can nothing be done to provide these men with work I That is the serious question of the hour, and every day it becomes more serious, more urgent, more im perative. Here is perhaps the finest body of free workmen any country could show, waiting for employment, earnestly asking for it, and ready to accept it in almost any form and in any direction. Is there no place where work for them might be found, no capital available for setting this vast industrial machine once more in motion At present the arrested industry is • pure burden on the resources of the country. Once in motion it would be immensely adding to the capital em ployed, and increasing the wealth of the world. Cannot the necessary capital for assisting this vast force of free industry be obtained I Surely, to judge from the assistance freely offered for other purposes, the capital could easily be secured. If a great slave industry is in distress, for example, capitalists are to be found who freely offer mil lions for its relief. To establish and extend a gigantic system of slave labour, money enough can, it appears, at any moment be found in this couutry. It can hardly be that when a large system of free industry is reduced to temporary distress no capital is forthcoming for its support. Capital is all that is really needed. Fields of remunerative labour are abundant. There is ample scope in our colonies for the employment of at least • portion of those who have no prospect of work at home. Queensland is anxious to have almost any number of emigrants, and the emigrants are anxious to go. Surely some company, some society, some association might be formed to assist in carrying out effectually so noble and patriotic an object. RECALL or rpm Gas= Muturris.—The Greek government have recalled M. Tricoupi, their minister here, and have abolished the Greek Lega tion in London. M. Tricoupi goes back to Greece this week.

The Debate of to-day, explaining the circum stances of Langiewicz's escape, says that that ge neral felt keenly even before the fatal day at Busk that his little army could not carry on regular war and fight in battle array against the Russian masses. He found it also every day more and more difficult to get provisions for his men while they composed but one corps in the palatinates of Cracow and Sandomir, which were exhausted from two months' ravages. This is why he resolved to scatter his force over several points, and to go himself with his officers into another palatinate, where troops quite fresh were expected. "If we are well informed," says the Debuts, " he counted upon reaching this palatinate, the name of which the reader will not be surprised if we decline to mention, by crossing the Austrian territory in secret. Unfortunately, this plan failed through the zeal of the Austrian agent who committed the gratuitous fault of recognising him. Langiewicz having, however, been recognised, the only course left open to the cabinet of Vienna, which is at peace with Russia, was to detain him. We doubt if the agent who made this important capture will be warmly congratulated by M. de Rechberg ; but he will probably obtain congratulations more easily than promotion to the superior ranks of his pro fession. M. de Rechberg has never admired more sincerely than now the appositeness of the famous saying of M. de Talleyrand, 'Above all no zeaL' " The Morning Post says :—" We understand that the cabinet of Vienna have resolved to place Lan giewicz on parole, and to assign some Austrian town as his place of residence." PRINCE NAPOLEON AND THE POLES. In the Opinion Nationale M. Gueroult, who represents the opinions of Prince Napoloon, strongly urges war with Russia without loss of time. He argues that delay is abandonment of the cause, and that the war should be undertaken while the Polish bands are yet in arms and ready to do the greater part of the rough work. He seta forth grounds for reckoning upon the neutrality of England and Austria, the assistance of Sweden against Russia, and the assistance of Denmark, if a war with Prussia should be necessary. Under these circumstances he thinks France might safely commence a campaign alone for the reconstitution of Poland, and begin by sending 50,000 men and 100,000 muskets from Cherbourg to Stockholm. A little scene took place during the course of the late debate, which the people of Paris seem to have heartily enjoyed. To appreciate it one must bear in mind that until he was offered office M. Billault wa s a rabid republican, who used to denounce Louis Philippe's government for " oppressing the press," &c. In the course of his speech he said (we quote the Moniteur) : It has been stated that to vote the order of the day would be contrary to the spirit which placed Napoleon 111. on the throne. What wsa that spirit? Why, France was weary of revolutionary convulsions and revolutionary impo heaps. She felt the dangers growing up around her, threat. ening her greatness, bar glory, her priaperity, her religion. (Cries of "That's so," "Very good, very good r) Prince Napoleon—That is probably the reason why you Billault) voted assent Napoleon. (Uproar.) Yea, you know you voted for General Cavaignac. (Renewed uproar.) _ . . Billault, an eye-witness states, was fairly taken aback at this, and remained for a minute or so as if he had been struck down. He soon re covered, however, and said it was true he bad voted against the Prince President, but that since he had seen him at work, "he had served him for ten years with honour and fidelity "—not barren honour by any means. THE RUSSIAN TREATMENT OF PRI SONERS. We read in the Chas of Cracow All the chiefs of the insurrection who have fallen into the hands of the Russians have been shot. Thus, at Radom M. Jaeinski was shot without trial ; at Sic:oleo, MM. Olszewaki and Moritz ; and at Lublin, M. Cueinier Bogdanowich, one of the moat intrepid leaders of the national movement. When the latter was brought to the place at which be was to be executed, the military governor of Lublin said to him, " You are very young. Sue for pardon." " Yes, general," he replied, " I am young, but the cause I defended is very old." "You have your mother?' "My mother would blush if I begged the Russians to pardon ma But I pray you do not trifle with me at such ► mo ment. Yon were to shoot me at 6 o'clock, and it is already ten minutes past 6." Some momenta afterwards the ►able young man was no more. HUNGARY. A letter from Vienna states that the Emperor Francis Joseph has decided upon a very early meeting of the Hungarian Diet. It also says that new reforms are to be octroyed in Hungary. (“01111e8 TZLEGRAXL) THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRAOOW, ]Lacs 22, Yuman..

A proclamation, dated the 21st inst., of the former Central Revolutionary Committee of Warsaw has been published, announcing that the committee resumes its functions on ac count of Langiewicz having been taken prisoner. The proclamation concludes by making an appeal to the people to take up arms against the enemy. It says:—" When our brothers are perish ing in such great numbers, the place of every Pole is in the ranks of the national army." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, MAus E.I.

The government evening papers have received orders to say that there is not one word of truth in the news of the violation of Prussian territory by Russian troops, which made such a great sensation here last night. At the same time the Patrie (in the case of Poland not agovernment paper) concurs with the liberal journals in publishing as authentic a telegram from Posen dated this day, March 22, which affirms that " for several days past Russian estafettes, escorted by Russian detachments, are using the high road from Plenben to Wreachen, in the Grand Duchy of Posen, and in particular that on the 19th instant, at three in the afternoon, some Cossacks escorting an estafette from a place called Pydre came to Miloslaw, in the Grand Duchy of Posen, and that another detach ment appeared on the same day, escorting another estafette at a quarter past 6in the evening." The Patric heads the above news, "Further Violation of the Prussian Territory." The Opinion Nationak notices a Berlin letter which affirms that Russia has categorically refused to release Prussia from the consequences of the convention of Feb. & in this perplexing state of the evidence we must wait to get the truth cleared up as to this important point. Meanwhile the leading idea of the court of the Tuileries seems to be not to quarrel with Rnsaia. Before the news of Langie wicz's defeat could be considered as certain, the Constitutionnel made haste to throw the Poles upon the " magnanimity " of the Czar as their only refuge. The Dstbats and Siecle protest against that language as degrading to France, and a repe tition of the words of General Sebastiani, which have attained odious celebrity in this country— " Order reigns in Warsaw." But the publication in the Moniteur of the Emperor's letter to M. Billault, approving every word that he said in the Senate, and expressly repudiating all other interpretations of his Majesty's sentiments, is very strong evidence that the Comtitutionnel breathes the true spirit of the French government. Although Prince Napoleon, taking no account of previous denials, stated in his speech that General Langiewicz bad served under Garibaldi, the Dibats after full inquiry adopts the now received opinion that the allegation is unuve. The biography of the man who has made for himself a great name within the last few weeks is short and simple. He I was born in 1827 in the Grand Duchy of Posen, and is • Prussian Pole. His family were burgesses of an humble class. Like almost everybody in Prussia who is raised but a single step above the hewers of wood and drawers of water, he began life in the university. Afterwards he served in the landwehr, or militia, and subsequently (for one year only) in the artillery. The necessity of carving out for himself a career drove him to Italy, and be was mathematical professor at the Polish military school of Cuneo when K Rattazzi, culti vating the good graces of the Czar in order to obtain the recognition of Italy by Russia, thought it expe dient to dissolve that school. Then Langiewicz came to Paris, and lived in poverty and obscurity in the Rue de Poisay. When he beard of the rising in Poland be borrowed of a friend 50 francs (21.1 to enable him to go to the theatre of war. With these 21. he travelled across Germany to Poland. On January 21 a young man, exhausted by fatigue, cold, and hunger, asked for a night's lodging at a chateau not far from Thorn. After resting but a few hours he took his leave of his host with thanks, and left the then unknown name of Maryau Langiewicz. That is only two months ago. Now that name is a household word in every mouth, and has achieved a great place in history. I said yesterday, on the strength of private in formation, that I doubted the truth of the news that 12,000 more men were going out to Mexico. You will see that the Moniteur now explicitly denies the statement ; and the Opinion Nationale, which reproduced it from the Measager du Midi, has received a communiqué. But a single transport, the Ceres, is now under orders for Mexico. The °au& de France has received a warning for an article of March 21, described as being " a false report of the debate in the Senate, and a libel on the policy of the government." .-(THLEJ DAY.) 12.

The Viceroy and Governor-General left Cawnpore for Agra on the 12th, and Agra for Muttra on the 19th February, and was expected to reach Delhi on the 3rd March, and Meerut during the first week in March. The following remarks upon the Viceroy's pr o . green are from the Times of India : The present progress of the Governor-General is an event calculated to unit the attention of the most superficial ob. server of contemporary history. He hu gone forth from the seat of empire on the banks of the Hooghly, not like his immediate predecessor, to receive u • conqueror in a duller the homage of the chief. tains of a race overawed with the calamitous Wars of an immense and sanguinary conspiracy to over. throw our dominion. and condemned by the disastrous issues of • hundred conflicts—but he has gone to utter the words of pests, to exhort all to participate in the great enterprises which are so rapidly changing the fans of the country, arid ss the representative of sovereign power, to celebrate, by his presence, the immense victories which Hagfish capital, industry, and science have achieved, is spite of the stupendous impedimeets with which nature and climate bad encumbered their The Nuwab of Rampo P a r aTbeen appointed to succeed the late Maharajah of Puttialla as member of the council of the Viceroy and Governor-GeneraL Sir Charles Trevelyan intends to reduce the ad valorem duty on all imports, and to impose a small duty of at least one anna on every package im ported and entered in the custom-house. He contemplates a revision of the postal system of Bengal. He intends to form a central printing office, where all government printing work will be executed. The unsettled state of Rajnootana has com pelled the government to locate a regiment of na tive cavalry there. The cottonproduce of the territory of the King of Burmah will come into the market during the course of March, and is likely to be not less than two millions of vils. The British authorities in Burnish have advised the King not to grant a monopoly in the cultivation of cotton in future. Orders have been issued by government that all the official subordinates be forbidden to answer in their capacity as government servants anything that appears in the public prints, without the authority of the head of the department. A wealthy opium speculator in Bombay has been committed for trial to the High Court for instigate in to the commission of telegraph frauds. The weather has been very hot in Bombay, and the health of the town has slightly declined. The Government of India - called on the local governments for a report on the subject of a uni form currency note for all India, bearing on its face the value in written characters and numerals in three !languages. The local governments have expressed their opinion that the uniform note for all India might be issued bearing the value in numerals and written characters—one Hindee, in the Deva Negro? ; one Oordoo, in the Persian ; and the third, the principal vernacular, in the circle. THE QUESTION OP SUBSISTENCE IN THE SOUTHERN 8747E3. (From the Charleston Courier, Feb. 28.) The scarcity of food, which in another year is not likely to become most serious, is not owing to the incepacity of the South to subsist itself ; for it is s fact that, in these very regions of the Coafederacy which have heretofore been chiefly grata-growing the scarcity is greatest. It is owing to two facts, aye the Richmond Examiner—first, that the armies of the Confederacy are continually recruited from the farming class, instead of preserving in the ranks the men already enlisted; and second, that these armies, operating as they have been chiefly in the grain-producing portions of the country, have by wholesale impressment; in many mass wanton, unnecessary, and with needless rudeness and tyranny, discouraged the termer' from putting in further crops. On the latter branch of the subject it is unnecessary to remark. Congress is maturing a bill which promisee to meet the evil, if faithfully executed, and to restore large wastes of fertile land to cultivation. History is full of admonition against robbing industry of its hard-earned fruits. Nothing so rapidly overspreads a country with the evidences of dilapidation and decay as these wholesale rob beries of the farmer, by insolent minions of government. " Let every man, woman, sad child at home," says oar cotemporary of the Mobile Register, " with a yard square of ground scratch is and put it in corn. Every grain carefully intrusted to the fruitful earth, is a mate of costri. bution to the nation's liberty. Every acre of cotton planted is a comfort to our enemies, and a nail in the coHn of Confederate independence." The Chattanooga Beet says :—" We cannot too strongly urge upon our friends the propriety of planting no more cotton than is necessary to raise seed for another year. We repeat what we said on a former occasion—' Let every effort be made in every state to secure the greatest amount of food. Let the people go to work now to make clothin g, Do not put these things off. Let those learn to spin and weave now who never knew before. The highest compli ment that can be paid any young lady, after this war, will be that she spun and wove clothes for her brothers and friends in the army. Let the wealthiest and most aocom. plished set the example of plain dressing and hard work.'" AUCTION SALE OP NEGROES AT CHARLESTON. • (Prom lb. Charleston Courier, Feb. 28.) Messrs.

THE MALT TAx.—A numerous and influential meeting was held on Friday at Chelmsford, with a Mew to an agitation for the repeal of the malt tax. Mr. Papilla:a, M. P. for Colchester presided, and addreased the monad at mine length in reference to the probable effect of the repeal of the malt tax on the revenue, and as regards the agricul tural interest. He tboueht that such a reduction only I should at present be asked fors would not seriously affect the revenue.
