Tea EARL of Saasrsestrar made a generous and powerful speech in favour of Poland, in present ing the petition of the City of London, in the House of Lords. It is for the honour of the country that inch sentiments should be ex pressed from time to time, and the feeling of all classes of the community could have found no better representative than the noble Earl. We cannot however help asking, as we have asked before, whether the authors and approvers of these manifold demonstrations of public opinion consider them as a means or an end, whether they are designed to mark the growth of a purpose, or themselves satisfy the feelings in which they origi nate. Lord SHAFTESBURY has answered this question for himself personally. He has unlimited faith in public opinion, and believes that in the present case, if properly directed, it would be more efficacious than the sudden appearance of a fleet in the Baltic. Lord fiturrseenav's case is that the Russians have proved themselves completely incapable of governing Poland on those principles of justice and humanity which alone Europe can approve ; that notwithstanding the good intentions of the EMPEROR and fitful attempts at reform, the Ruisian Government always reverts to terrorism ; and that consequently the necessity of a separation between the two countries and the complete inde pendence of Poland is as clear as light. And is .it of this that the noble lord expecte to con vince the Russians by public meetings and great speeches in Parliament t We think not. For the last thirty years public opinion has con demned the Russian administration of the govern ment of Poland. The Cue and his advisers have acknowledged its influence ; it has perturbed them and made their policy vacillating. But it did not prevent NICHOLAS from threatening to lay Warsaw in tulles nor ALREARDZIL 11. from extending the same threat, as Lord Suarresavav tells us, to all Poland, last October. The measure of the power of opinion, as such—and not u being besides a sign of movement towards action—is given in Prince Goarcwaxorr's despatch in reiy to Earl RusseLL, which we published on Wednesday last, a document in which the fixed purpose of Russia to carry out the conquest of Poland appears min gled withrebukesof all foreigners who may presume to express a judgment on the subject. We do not say that England ought not to express an opinion in favour of the Poles unless she is disposed to go to war on their behalf. We have never said so. But we do think it concerns the honour of the country that we should see clearly what we are about, and that, surrounded as we are by struggling nationalities, we should not slide into the habit of going from crowd to crowd and bidding every small boy to "go in and win," while we look on in safety as amateurs. If it is certain, as Lord Snarreastray tells us, that all the Poles want of us is the expression of our sympathy, the cue is much simplified, and the claim of the Poles is so much the stronger, for then they must be as rea sonable as they are brave. Earl Russin.t. spoke from a point of view cliffs rent from that of the Earl of Blurriest:Tax. The situation of affairs as well as his position dicta:ad reserve. He did not announce the independence of Poland as the object of the representations be is engaged in making to the Russian Court, and he was anxious to avoid saying anything which would raise undue expectations in the minds of the Polish people. We gather from his speech, that all which the British Government--taking its stand on the Treaties of Vienna, and on the interest which it has, in common with all Europe, in the tranquillity of Poland—can demand of Russia is, that the Poles, instead of being at the mercy of rulers who can any day (or any night) set snide the most important laws, shall obtain securities for good government in the form of representative institutions. This is all we can ask for the Poles, although, as Earl RUSSELL further observed, events succeed each other rapidly, and the occurrences of to-morrow THE EXRRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 184. may outstrip the foresight of to-day. The le lord very properly referred to the aroZ/mlleslimp of the Russian people. This is not a contest between a despotic sovereign and • peopiellysiting liberty. The CZAR is receiving from province after province proofs of the determination of his subjects to maintain the integrity of the Empire. Thecontsstiabetween nation anduationosad there are no people in the world in whom national feeling is so intense as among the Russians. There are limits, however, both to their force and to the for bearance of Europe, as they found nine years ago. We believe the country at large, looking at the difficulties of the situation, will respond to the in spiriting appeal with which Earl Russext con cluded his speech. " Depend on it, those " tyrannical attempts which took place in 1831 " and 1832, and which then passed almost unno "tined could not now be repeated if the Emperor " of RICBSIA were the man to attempt to repeat them. " I ask your Lordships to rely—first, on the pm " dent course of the Government of this country. " That which can be fairly and practically done " will be done by them. I ask you to rely, in the " next place, on that public opinion of Europe " which you may depend upon it the Emperor of " Russia, autocrat as he may be, will not neglect. " I ask you to rely, finally, on the general sense "of justice which pervades this and other coun " tries-1 ask you to rely on that Heaven wb'ch " will not allow oppression to pass unpunished, " and which will not allow these sufferings much " longer to endure." MR. GLADSTONE, it will be seen from our Par liamentary report, has withdrawn his measure for taxing clubs. The resolution is a wise one. The advantage to be anticipated from the project was never worth a quarter of the trouble whioh its proposal was certain to entail. The Budget now offers no point favourable to assault. We presume that, after the Report of the Stand ing Orders Committee last night, we shall hear no more of Sir Groaos GREY'S Police Amalgama tion Bill. Even if it is only postponed to another session an advantage will have been gained by separating the measure from the reception given to the Princess of Wimst, for which it would have been so ungracious a return.

NEW YORK, Arm 30, Evwo. The steamer Anglo-Saxon, foe Quebec, was wrecked four miles east of Cape Race at noon of the 27th during a dense fog. The deck broke up one hour after the vessel struck. The crew and passengers numbered 444 persons, of whom 187 are known to have been saved. Two of the steamer's boats and a raft which left the vessel have not been heard of, but search is being made for them. The captain is supposed to be drowned. The following are the names of the cabin pas sengers saved : The Hon. John Young and family. Females—Hope, Bertram, Inglis, Reerwoods, Stoddard, Chretien, Wright, James, Jackson and child. Males--Caldwell, Raton, Kirkwood, Chretien, Towers, Kirkness, Fraser, Martin, Sealy, Whites, Captain Reed, Hiles, Cassidy, Lieut. Simpson. Thirty-three cabin and 103 steerage passengers, and 21 one of the crew were saved. The captain, part of the crew, and a great many passengers were on deck when the vessel sunk in deep water, and were all lost. SUCCESS OF GENFRAL BANKS' EXPE DITION. NEW YORK, Aram 28, Mosanto. Advice* from New Orleans to the 19th inst. state that General Banks' expedition up the River Teche proved very successfuL He bad three engagements with the Confederates, one at Ver million Bayou, another near Franklin, and a third at Bethel Place, in each of which he is reported to have repulsed the enemy and captured 1,500 pri soners along the route, and compelled the Con federates to destroy several transports in order to escape capture. General Banks has arrived within a short dis tance of Opelousas. Reports from Memphis represent that General Banks bad reached Point Coupe, on the west bank of the Mississippi, eleven miles higher up than Port Hudson. If this report were true, General Banks would be in a position to co-operate with the Federal fleet in an attack on Port Hudson from above, but the news requires confirmation. General Grant continues to make numerous complicated strategical movements below Vicks- burg, with a view to flanking and capturing that position. Twelve more transports are reported to have passed the Confederate batteries, and to have joined General Grant below Vicksburg. The second Federal expedition to Yazoo Pass is reported to have returned unsuocassful. There is continued fighting ou the Coldwater River, the results of which do not appear very clear. The Confederate forces invading Missouri are under General Price. Their strength is supposed not to exceed 10,000 men. A portion of them, supposed to be 3,000 strong with 6 pieces of artillery, under I General Marmaduke, attacked the Federate at Cape Girardeau, on the Mississippi, on the 26th inst., but are reported to have been repulsed. The Federal commander had started in pursuit of them. During their retreat the Confederates are reported to have been attacked and repulsed by another Federal force which was sent to cut them off. In St. Louis, twenty armed Confederates seized during the night the fastest steamer at the levee, and escaped with her. The steamers between St. Louis and Cairo are convoyed by gunboats. The gun shops in St. Louis are placed under guard, and all Confederate prisoners have been removed to Alton, Illinois. The Confederate investment of Washington, North Carolina, is said to have been a feint, which enabled the Confederates during the siege to carry off immense quantities of grain from Hyde County, with which they escaped. No material change in the situation in Tennessee has taken place. The Federals have captured the Confederate camp and 100 prisoners near Franklin. Rumours were current at Nashville that General Bragg was shot by General Breckenridge during an altercation. The Federal pickets have been driven in, and skirmishing has recommenced upon the Nanee Moud river. Fifteen adventurers from Mobile have proceeded to the mouth of the Mississippi and captured a Federal tugboat, which they ran through the block ading fleet into Mobile. Thirty-six Federal regiments will be mustered out of service between May and June, their en listment time having expired. By order of the Prize Court the cargo of the Paterhoff is being landed and examined, to ascer tain if there is contraband of war ou board. Mr. Seward, accompanied by the Prussian and Swedish ministers, has visited the army of the Potomac. It is reported that munitious of war were found concealed oa board the steamer Tubal Cain, which cleared from New York for Matamonsa, but wag seized by the New York revenue officers wheu about to leave. The steamers Flora and Pet arrived at Wilming ton on the 16th Mat. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Aran 28, Emma. Money abundant. Gold 60 per oent. premium. Exchange, bankers bills, 165.

GENERAL HOOKER CROSSING THE RAPPAHANNOCK. THE FEDERAL FLEET AT CHARLESTON. NEW YORK, Area. 29, Entine°. Considerable excitement prevails in Western Vir ginia and Maryland, in consequence of the appear ance of a large Confederate force in those states. They captured Morgantown, Virginia, near the Pennsylvania States line, and attempted to break up the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, but only destroyed one bridge, which has since been repaired. Fears ware entertained for the safety of Wheeling and Pittsburg, but large Federal forces have been moved to all the points threatened, and the excite ment has subsided. General Hooker commenced a forward movement on the 27th inst. Heavy masses of artillery and other troops crossed the Itappahannock at sunrise. It is supposed that General Hooker's design is to make a flank movement upon Fredericksburg, which will probably bring on a general engagement. It is reported that the Federal Monitor USA is I van inside Charleston Bar, prepared for &millibar attack on that place. The Confederate 'teenier St. John, bound front Nassau for a Southern port, has been captured off Cape Ronan. The crew escaped. The Arabia takes out 74 paseengers and 46,603 dohs. in specie.

The Morning Star was afterwards released upon giving bonds to the amount of 60,000 dollars. The arrears of pay due to the army, amounting to nearly 60,000,000 dole., have been liquidated. The arrears due to the widows of soldiers have not been paid. MEXICO. NEW YORK. APRIL 29. Official Mexican reports received here state that the French were several times repulsed iu skir mishes before Puebla between the 24th and 29th of March, but on the latter date they captured Fort San Jarvier. The Havannah papers contain news from Vera Cruz to the sth April,oonfirming the statement that Oomonfoit, whilst en route to reinforce General Ortega, was defeated by. General Berthier, and that General Forey had refused the offer of Ortega to capitulate at Puebla. (The above telegram confirms the news already received by telegraph via Oaths.] THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. CIRCULAR OF COUNT PERSIGNY TO THE PREFECTS. PARIS, NAT 9. Count de Persigny has addressed a circular to the prefects, dated May Et, explaining the principles which should guide the prefects in the approaching elections. The minister says : "The prefects will not forget that the empire is the expression of the wants, feelings, and interests of the masses, as it has united all the forme and wishes of the nation. It was in the cottages of the people that the empire was brought forth." M. de Persigny then recalls the degree of wealth and prosperity which the nation has acquired since the origin of the empire, and continues : "The Emperor, therefore, confidently asks of the country a Legislative Assembly as devoted to him as preceding assemblies, and having uo other care than the welfare of the empire. If in France, as in England, parties differed upon the conduct of pub lic affairs, but were all attached to the fundamental institutions of the country, the government might confine itself to watching the struggle. But in France this manoeuvring of parties would be of a nature to prolong the revolution by compromising liberty, because in our country there are parties who yet remain political fractions, seek ing to attack the very heart of our institutions in order to vitiate their principle, and who invoke liberty in order to turn it against the State. " The duties of the prefects are therefore plainly marked out. Penetrated with the democratic and iberal spirit of our institutions, they will allow all candidates to present themselves freely, and to pub lish and distribute their political programmes and voting tickets according to the prescriptions of the law." In conclusion, M. de Persigny urges the prefects to proclaim as publicly as possible the candidates possessing the oonfidenoe of the government. THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, NAT 9. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of Justice, on the demand of the Pro curator-General of Posen, asked the house to be authorised to commence legal proceedings against Count John Dzialynski, for high treason. The motion was referred to the Committee of Justice. COCHIN CHINA. POINT DE OALLE, APRIL 13. News from Saigon states that matters in the interior of Cochin China appear to be in so far satisfactory as no complaints are made by the Chinese traders in the rico districts. After the sth of April all payments of the trea sury and commissariat for either contract or freight were to be made in francs at the rate of 5.37 per Mexican dollar, if not otherwise stipulated. THE CLOSING OF THE FRENCH CHAMBER,. THE DUKE DE MOREY'S SPEECH. The session of 1863 was brought to a close on Thursday in the Legislative Body, the president delivering the following address : Gentlesen,—We are about to separate, your legislature being terminated. I should be wanting in every feeling of gratitude, if I did not thank you very sincerely for the con fidence you have always testified towards me. It is to it that I am indebted for having been able to direct your labours. Your kindness it is which ham enabled me to accomplish that task. I therefore desire that each of you will accept • part of my feelings of gratitude. (General marks of approbation.) I cannot say what the electoral contest will produce, and what modifications may proofed from the urn, but what I can affirm is that the present Legislative Body has only developed the feelings of the country towards the Emperor by setting an example of enlightened devotedness ; that it has coutributed to pacify the public mind by its wise and liberal conduct, and strengthened public confidence by the good faith and pru dence of its control. (Prolonged movement.) A govern ment without control and without criticism is like a vessel without ballast. The absence of contradiction blinds and sometimes misleads the government and does not trait. quillise the country. Our discussions have dope more to in crease security than a deceitful silence could have effected. (Approbation.) But let us leave what already is past, and look in advance. The imperial institutions are developed gradually by the Emperor himself in the sense of liberty ; the public wealth is increasing by peace and labour ; the young prince Is growing up and is being formed wader the edema' aegis ; the rising generations, yielding to their na tural aspirations, are separating every day more and more from party men ; the people, satisfied in their feelings of national pride and in their well-beiog, plane their destiny in the hands of the government of their choice. In that ap proaching decisive period, • new chamber, prudent, faithful, and knowing, like the present one, how to maintain harmony between the great public powers, will secure the future of the dynasty and the happiness of France. (Load approbation.) What lan, therefore, beet wish for in, that the electoral body, is its patriotism, may have the good sense to pre serve to the future chamber all the elements which have constituted the strength of the present one, and that it will understand that the sant six years are of the highest importance for the future welfare of the country. Coe. Etitutions should always contain absolute public guarantees ; the noel. which the Legislative Body, after six years' existence, is one of thew. It requires the elective body to re.teraper Wolf in the heart of the counts 7. .1 uoderstaad that it should be so, but I regret it in another point of view. Political daily water*, the study of affairs in common, have taught you to know and esteem each other. In spite of the warmest discussions you mast admit that the most opposite opinions have softened down and yielded a little towards each other. How many prejudices have bees removed. How much mistrust has vanished. (" That is true.") Ido not think that anyone, eves in the most op , posit° points of this assembly, will cootradict me. Aa to myself, I have only found in you all colleagues full of con• sideration and of deference, and I hope that you will retain of me the some remembrance as I shall of you. In now bidding you adieu, I would wish to be able to my to all " May we meet again." (Loud acclamations and prolonged applause.) The members then withdrew with cries of " Vire rEmpereur." SWEDEN AND POLAND. The central committee, lately formed in Sweden, in aid of Poland, has sent a warm address to the Polish committee of Paris. The document adduces arguments to prove historically the solidarity which exista between France, Poland, and Sweden ; and then enumerates the wounds which Swedish pa triotism has had to support from the Czars, and particularly the subjection of Finland. It terminates by expressing the hope that " the French people will do more than it has hitherto done, and act within a brief delay, called, as it is, to always combat the first for civilisation and liberty." THE BRIGANDS AT ROME. A Turin letter says : A emisiatory at the period of the MU, of St. Peter and St. Paul is to be held by the Pope ori his return to Rome, and four cardioals will be named. The regular troops of Francis IL, that is to say, those whom Tristany hen pro vided with uniforms, bugles, flags, and some pieces of ar tillery, are on that occasion to receive the benediction of his Holiness. In order to give a more imposing character to the demonstration, Francis IL is said to have sent, with a certain sum of money, a number of decorations which the secretary of Tristany was charged to present to several officers and soldiers, but I learn that the secretary has ab• scooded, taking both money sad decorations with him." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom aux omit col PARIS, FRIDAY EVIDDIG. The Bourse is dull and hesitating. Rents fell 10c. and Mobilier 6fr. 25c. The Pays last night spoke of a congress on Polish affairs as being pro. bable ; but an optimist article by M. Paulin Limayrac, in to-day's Constitutumnel, makes no reference to that project. An electoral pamphlet by M. Eughue Pelletan, entitled " Aide toi et le del t'aidera," has just been seized. The opposition party in Strasburg have resolved to propose K Odillon Barrot for their candidate, as being a moderate liberal particularly fit to repre sent a district in which catholics and protestants are in nearly equal numbers. K Odillon Barrot is not in Paris at present, but it is hoped he will accept the candidature. Abb4 Mermillod, now the moat fashionable preacher in Paris, and the man who absolves the petits petites of the great ladies of the Faubourg St. IGermain in the pretty confessional boxes of the new cathedral of St. Clothilde, has gone to Orleans to celebrate the 434th anniversary of the deliverance of France from English domination by Joan of Arc. He preaches on that subject in Orleans cathedral this day, and will doubtless meet with immense success. The Imperial Prince has been permitted, by way of memorial of the pleasure he derived from his visit to the dog show, to give a gold medal to the owner of the beet shepherd's dog in the exhibition. The Empress went to the show yesterday afternoon, and bestowed her attention principally upon the pets—such as poodles, Italian greyhoun4 and King Charles spaniels. Brune of these parlour dogs are called griffons, bicAons, and carfins, names for which, I think, there are no very exact English translations. The Journal Ar►ia) le says :—" The meadows are at present of an exceptional beauty, and have not for many years been so advanced at the same pe riod.
