A DOUBLE NUMBER et the EXPRESS will be published ON SATURDAYS as usual, during the Parliamentary mem LORD PALMIRATON'S policy' We never hear the phrase without being reminded of a story we have somewhere read of an old Portuguese monk. The Reverend Father was displaying to an attentive circle the relies of his convent, and enlarging upon their merits with great unction. They were all wonderful, but the most wonderful of all was a single hair from the head of JOHN THE BAPTIST. This hair the exhibitor affected to hold fast between the finger and thumb of his right hand, and to keep drawing it through the finger and thumb of his left, greatly to the edification of the beholders. At last a heretic Englishman ventured modestly to remark that he could not see the blessed hair. "Not surprised at that, sir," was the rejoinder ; " I myself, who have now shown it for fifty years, have never seen it yet." So is it with Lord PALIIEWITON'S policy. For well nigh fifty years has the noble viscount been puffing it off, and yet neither he, nor any of his numerous devotees, can give us any intelligible account of it. On Friday last the :Worming Post attempted to adumbrate the policy of its patron. It boastfully proclaimed that there was but one political faith, the great national policy, and that PALMERSTON was its prophet. "A sprinkling of Conservatives and Perlin'," exclaimed the exultant Post, " and a few almost rubbed-out Whigs, adhere to the tradi tions of their respective parties, and follow in the groove that their leaden have made for them ; but the mass of candidates, reserving to themselves only the hobby-horses peculiar to themselves, pot forward their intention to give a general support to Lord PALMERSTON, as constituting their beet claim to be returned as representatives of public opinion in the new Parliament." The Teak of all this, we are told by the en der hide preacher of PALMERSTON RE the IUIIIIIIIIII mom is, that the PREMIER "entering fibeßss dQteamons, as he undoubtedly will do, in the eirs mud of the largest majority that has backed any MAW since the days of PITT, will enter it, not as the head of a Conservative, or a Whig, or a Peelite, IN a &died party, but as the leader of the English pegie. ea es the great designer and administrator eta nafie•sl policy." We respectfully submit that Mr. DINRAELI'S account of the great Cliwirsig policy is lucid and intelligible when tampered wit► the Poses account of the great PALMERSTON policy. 72r Poet gives us tiegatires in abundance, bat does not fhroaraswithanepwitire. Unque,tionably Lord PAL itzturrow isa great actor ; but for our part we should have preferred to the Post's list of parts which he can not or will not act, some such list as Polosists gave of what his players could act :—" The best actors in the world, either for tragedy, comedy, history, pas toral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical historical, tragical-comical, scene individable, or poem unlimited." Lord Pstxcarroft's own account of his policy, foreign and domestic, in his address to the electors of Tiverton, is allowed on all hands to be, like the writings of Cottrrews, unintelligible from its ex cess of brevity. And his speech at the hustings does not much mend the matter. There are more words in the speech than in the address, but the ideas in both are equally few and vague. From the curt and laconic text of the noble viscount we are forced to turn, in search of his meaning, to the glosses of his commentators. And where can we find a commentator more entitled to our confidence than the elegant and accomplished Editor of the Eemscseist. Mr. JAMES WiLsoN is a member of Lord Psusiasrots's Goverment ; and it is therefore quite a prestouptio juris et afters, that he is familiar with all the PIEIIIIEIOI secrets, a complete master of his most recondite meanings. On Saturday last, Mr. JAMES WILSON favouredan admiring public with definitions of Peace, .Rififitsek„ mese, and Reform, in the Palratratonian or non natural sense of the words. Mr. Witsox's defini tion of Peace is given, as tho Napoleonic journalists *an it, " with great reserve" :—" Peace, when down' in the teeth of a Government who have lien involved in hostilities simply by protecting iritisti rights or defending endangered allies, ay mean nothing but national hamilia- W Of Itserwrchment, Mr. WILSON speaks with Retremehmeist, clamoured for lama insane have been abolished and all diabilleinnanks sat down, and when the tendency ttttldholof lira rather in pushing redaction and =Lebo, Is almost as discreditable a pan ab pritludice as the No Popery' hawk" Vet is ea 1101 bros that the learned pundit speaks 1111061 4lodoloo and certainty : " Before, now mews nothlog the speculative unsettlement of an altered width works well, for the make of engrafting upon it modifications which may or mar II& THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1857. not turn out to be improvements, but which cer tainly arc not necessary nor even imperioeidy wished for." There, gentlemen electors of Dewinport, these are the principles of your new member. There, gen tlemen who implicitly follow Lord PALMERSTON these are the principles, as expounded by hi; lordship's Szcarrxrit of the TREASURY, upon which the domestic policy of Lord PALMERSTON'S admi nistration is to be based. We have been rather amused for some days back at the assiduity l of the believers in PALMERSTON, who have been endeavouring to extract from the apocalyptic wntenoe at the close of his address to the electors of Tiverton something like a declaration in favour of reform. Like Lord Peter trying to find what he wanted in his father's testament, they tried 'it testualiter, then verbaliter, and at last even literaliter, but all in vain. Their labours were as bootless as those of the Laputan sage who sought to extract sunbeams out of cucumbers. They resembled nought earthly so much as a pack of hungry dogs, who, having found a dry, raarrowless bone on a dunghill, snatch it up in succession, and mumble it, and drop it, after a vain attempt to extract some sustenance out of it. They have been looking wretchedly disconsolate at their failure to discover the meaning of PALMERSTON'S riddle—more hard to hit than SAMSON'S ; and we doubt exceed ingly whether they will feel much edified by the SECRETARY of the TREASURY'S interpretation. After explicitly informing us of the contemptuous and hostile sentiments with which the PALMERSTON Government regard Peace, Retrenchment, and Re form, the SECRETARY of the TREASURY proceed, to instruct the electors how they me to ensure the re turn of a Parliament that will guard us from these evils. - The fault of the present and of recent Liberal Government, is not that they did not mean wall and aim at worthy object*, but that they had not power to carry out their intention.. They were belled and turned out of their course by the cora- Weak& of inharmonious oppositions, and disheartened by a conerionstwas of lasuilleient strength. It is in the power of ' the eonstitusucies now to remedy this defect. Let them give to Ministers a really adequate and steady majority, and then be se rigidly esacting as Janda will permit. Of a Govern ment to whom the nation has given much, it may equitably demand much. A strong Administration, which can do what it chimes, may be held strictly responsible for all it does or leaves endorse. On one point we quite agree with Mr. WILNON. If the electors will only give Government *subservient Parliament, we shall have strong Administration" . . for seven years—an" Administration which can do what it chooses." In short, we shall have Lord PALMIIILITON Dictator. But is the country, after the frank confeesions of the SECILLTAIT of the TWEA- K/IT, prepared to invest Lord Paceaturros with dictatorial powers? When CINCINNATUS was made Dictator the Gaul was at the gates of Rome ; but Yea has not yet reached Broadstairs. There is a sly touch of sarcasm in Mr.Wlctiotes remark that an Administration " strong enough to do what it chooses may be held strictly responsible for what it does or leaves undone." But who is to enforce this respon sibility and by what means? The joke is a little too broad. Not quite so broad, however, as the ad vice given to constituencies by Mr. JAMES WILSON on the previous Saturday—to elect men "of whom ministers could be mule." The hint to elect none but JAMES WILAONS, BERNAL O.RORNEN, ROBERT LowEs, and FREDERICK PnEt.rs was rather too naive, and, as far as relates to the last gentleman, has been unfortanate. MUSIC. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. - - isaned Mr. Oye now his prospectus of the ensuing *pert season. Ile states that it was his intention this year to carry on the performances of the opera at Drury-lane, but that this having been prevented by unforeseen circumatanoes, ho had again taken the Lyceum ; "and while he much re grets the exclusion of a great portion of the general public from the performances of the present season, he has the satisfaction of being able, by judicious alterations in the building, to accommodate a very considerable number of the regular subscribers?' He adds that he trusts for the season 1858 " he will be able to restore to the Royal Italian Opera a home equal, if not superior, to that of which it has been deprived," meaning, of course, a new Covent-garden theatre, expected, by that time, to rise from the ashes of the old. Like Mr. Lumley, Mr. t3ye makes no promise of absolute novelty in the production of operas. The nearest approach to it is an Italian version of Auber's 11.1 i Diando," with entirely new recitatives, and additional poetry and music," written expressly for the Royal Italian Opera by Scribe and Aube'. themselves. Several remota are promised : Herold's Zaenpa, Cimarosa's Miitrimonio Segni°, Mozart's No::e di Figaro, and Mercadante's Girtramento. The promise of the Matrinionie Se/►etee is especially welcome : it is the finest comic opera in existence ; and it says little for the state of the musical stage that a piece which within our memory used to be performed to crowded houses every season should now be included in a list of revivals. To See I.ablache once more in the most genial of all his impersona tions—the kind-hearted deaf old merchant--es some thing to look forward to. Of course we arc to have the Trariata, with Madame Boni° as the frail heroine, a part in which she has had immense Me oess during last season at St. l'etersburg. All the principal members of last year's company will re-appear: Grisi, Bosh), Muni, Mario, Tamherlik, Ronconi, Graziani, Tagliatico, Polonini, 7.elger, and Formes. There will also be Lablaehe ((after two years' absence) and Oartloni. Victoire Balfe (the daughter of our popular com poser) is to make her first appearance on the stage. Great expectations are entertained of the Mug of this young lady, wham, gifts of nature have been cultivated by a thorough musical education under her father's care. Another novelty is Mdllc. Eufrosyne Pampa, a young singer who has lately gained a high continental reputation. She is re lated to a well-known English musical family, and when on a visit to this country a few years ago, though then a mere child, she surprised and de lighted all who met her in society by her attractive qualities and aptitude for the musical stage. She is now, it appears, a charming comedian and an accomplished singer. For the ballet we are to have our old faourites• Cerito and Plunkett, and several other names art enumerated, all females; male dancers, it would seem, are going out of fashion. Costa, of course, is the musical director. Mr. Bmythson is the chorus master, and Signor Nlaggion: the poet. Mr. A. Hanis is stage manager, Mr. W. Beverley scene painter, and Mr. Alfred Mellon leader of the ballet. The subscription *ill be for forty nights, commencing on the 14th of April. This is the substance of Mr. Gye's arrangement., for the opera. But another very important circum• stance is to be added : the re-engagement at the Lyceum of Madame Ristori, with her Italian dramatic company. She is to give fifteen pee romances, commencing in the first week in June. MR.

SPAIN. MADRID, MARCH 25. The Queen has ordered the Infant Mon Henry to leave Salamanca immediately for France. The reason for this measure is that the prince haft openly taken part in the elections as a partisan of the progressistm. The governor of Ciudad-Real has been dismissed for an indiscreet display of seal. M. Noccdal, the Minister of the Interior, was a candidate fur the representation of this district. His opponent was the Count de Caneda. The governor, thinking to curry favour with the Minister, arrested the Count, together with some of the most influential electors, and sent them out of Ciudad-Heal. This mode of serving the cause of "order" was a little too strong for M. Nocedul's stomach. The moment the news reached him he called a council of ministers, in which he moved and carried a resolution for the dis missal of the governor. He then sent a carriage to Count de Caneda, and a message recommending him to come at once to put himself at the head of the electoral district, and announcing that he (M. Nooedal) would withdraw from the field. SARAGOSSA, MARC/I 23.

I have to thank them for com ing forward to support me ins spirit of fairness, and with a willingness and determination to assert the lade• pendenco of the electoral body of this city. (Cheers.) I have, therefore, gentlemen, to return thanks in the first place to the gentlemen of my committee, who came forward with their voluntary offers, leaving their houses in some instances no doubt at considerable loon, and emoting themselves to the utmost with a msil and an amount of indefigigtiLle labour which no pun lowed senicws could have procured. I have to thank the gentleman who we,, at the head of that committee, Mr. Ricardo, who, I am glad to see has been returned as a member of the new parliament, though be had the misters tune to agree with me in the House of Commons on the China vote. I have also to thank my mover and seconder, and all than gentlemen who exerted themselves on ray behalf. (Hear, beer.)

Let me say, now, that superior to any minor question, of extension of the suffrage, of the ballot, or any other of those matters, important as they are in themselves, is the maintenance of that free spirit, that love of independence which distinguishes the people of England, and upon, which all our institutions and all our liberties must ultimately rest. sow, gentlemen, let me say a word, end it shall not be long, with regard to our future prospects.

But if it be Om, an I hope it is, that the result of this election will be to give • large liberal majority in the lower house; so large that the upper house will no longer have any mason, on that ground, to refuse the measures which way be passed by the House of Commons, that excuse must henceforward fall to the ground—(llar, hear) —and Lord Palmer ston sill have no such mason to allege for not bringing for. ward—not eix or seven, nor a dozen; but beginning with ono or two of great importance—such roes noes as shall show that ministers are truly re. formers, end that nothing but eiremnstances have hitherto cooled their ardour. I see some symptoms of ire. prevenient in this respect, because this election has not teased—the people of the rutted Kingdom would not allow it to turn—on the temporary question of whether Sir John Lowing was right or wrong,—the nation has had the good sense not to allow itself to be divided between Bow ringites and Y (laughter)—they know that the true distinction is between con.ervatives and re. formers—conservatives desiring to maintain our in stitutions and not to improve them, and reformers desiring to improve our institutions and at the samo tiles mime them. Now, gentlemen, we had a symptom in the last parliament of a email. measure-a very mull measure. It wee pro posed by Mr. Locke King on that subject, and we heard nothing in the House of C o mmons Hi that time but ohjecetiona to that meneure, and if it had been a larger measure the objection would have been stronger and more decisive. But no stoner WIG there the question of the dissolution of parlia ment than it was discovered that they were in favour of that measure, but that there were in Mr. Locke King's bill, which they had never seen, and which, I am told, Mr. Locke King had never communicated to them— certain faults and defects which alone prevented them farm voting in its favour. If that bo the case, they will have an opportunity, if they are in the nee parliament, to bring in new meaeures of their own in which they can put all the guards and securitise which they desire, in which they can insert all the guards and securities which I inserted in • bill which I introduced two years ago, and then no doubt thq can carry it through both houses of perlintnent. It is in die way that this dissolution of parliament will prove to be redly of use to this country. I trust, as I have formerly said, to era the Wilke of religtous liberty completed. I trust to ass five trade completed by the abolition of some °bunks duties. I trust that, by economy and retrenctunint, shall be able to imam those atklitional duties as sugar and ten, which tend so much to diminish the enjoy meat of the people. (Cheers.) I trust, likewise, that by extending the franchiseto the enlightened and the respectable, tlichoncet clanger of thecountry which havenot hithertohsdthe benefit of exercising the franchise, that we may extend still farther the basis of our representation and give an additional security to our buditutions. (Cheers.) Suck I treat may be the result of this. dissolution. The good sense of the nation has seen the advantage which might be taken of it, haw ing • new parliament, fresh from conimuricating with the people at large. I trust you will Pee in future supported by the four members for the City of London measurer of economy, measures of reform, measures conducive to the prosperity of this groat empire. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, agent I thank you for the honour you hove done me. I have been expuked for some years to much obloquy, to much mierepromentettion, to much iniseomeruction of my motives, but whatever I hove suffered in this respect, the gencroue niannie in which you have come forward to sup port use afford. me full compensation. (Cheers.) Mr. Cn.twrmnu next presented himeelf. He thanked them gratefully for the reeponee they had made to the appeal addressed to them in his behalf, and for having recorded nearly 6,000 voter in his favor. (Hoar, hear.) He was indebted to the position he held not only to the great liberal principle. whirl he advocatobbett also to the large body of his fellow eitixens, who recognised in him as a merchant a Starve to represent them in parliament.

LIVERPOOL, i;ATV_ELD,IIIr. The British and North American ro7ial mail steam ship Persia,Captain Judkinii, arrived off the Bar this evening, and sent her mails to the Post-office by the tender.

The United States Senate has made some amend ments to the treaty negotiated lv Lord Clarendon and Mr. Dallas, and after discussing it for several days in secret session it was ratified as amended on the 14th inst. The amendments, which of course must now be submitted to the British government, are, it is generally believed, confined to the non recognition of certain grants of land made by the British consul in the name of the Mosquito Bing; to a more precise delineation of the boundaries of certain lands reserved for the Mosquito Indians; and to striking out the qualifications attached to the act of cession of the Bay Islands by Great Britain to Honduras. The great principles of the treaty— namely, the renunciation by Great Britain of all claim to territorial sovereignty in Central America, with the exception of the Belize; the acknowledg ment of the nglit of the Republic of Honduras to the peaaession of the Bay Islands, and the protecto rate of the Mosquito Indians, are in no way dis turbed by the proposed amendments. On the 16th, Lord Napier was introduced to the President by General Casa, and presented his cre dentials as minister from England. Lord Napier, In addressing the President as the Envoy of her Britannic Majesty, said he was intruded to convey to him the earnest desire maintained by the Queen to preserve and advance on all occasions the interests and happiness of the people of England and America, which are no deeply in volved In their amitieLk• intercourse end to manifest to him the hearty good wishes which her Majesty cherishes for the prosperity of the United States. He ventured to coVa t : the Precedent on his secession to the highest elective 't in this countryand the world, Paying: co May youeujoy it in pease, Red ever-ineressing honour, and may the period of your government be distinguisched by all the featured of public web! tare. Permit me (lee continued) to express to you my grafi fiation in bring selected to renew and avow at Washington those relations of international friendship which have beet so ally sustained by your representative in London. This em potent and grateful duty might have been committed to others IMMO capable of doing justice to the sentiments o benevoknec which animate my sovereign, her ministers, and every order of her subjects; but no one could approach your excellency with greeter respect for your person sad your elate, or warmer good will to the American people." Lord Napier then delivered the credential letter which her Majesty had been graciously pleased to entrust to hie care. The President, in reply, offered to Lord Napier a hearty welcome as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary from her Britannic Majesty to the United Steep. Your sovereign (he mid), I am convinced, could not have selected a more acceptable representative than yourself to renew three relations of international friendship which, I trust, may never hereafter he interrupted. The earned and gracious desire expressed by her Majesty to preserve and ad vance upon all taxernons the interest and happiness of Eng land and AITICTION and the hearty good wishes which her Majesty cherishes for the prosperity of tbo United States, are cordially reciprocated on my part, and will elicit an enthusiastic reSpollne from the bents of the American Teeple. No Inde pendent powers have ever been bound together by material interests of such magnitude as those which bind Great Britain and the United States. Indeed, the prosperity of the one is necessarily involved in that of the other; but mutual inte rests, however vast, without mutual regard, are not always sufficient to preserve friendship between nations. How happy, then, am Ito reed , » the assurance that your sove reign, her ministers, and every order of her subjects are ani mated by sentiments of benevolence towards the government and people of the United States. During my administration it shall be my agreeable duty as well WI my earned desire to increase the friendship and mutual goodelll now en happily subsiating between the two countries, and to render these sentiments strong and enduring. With such sincere and haute:lt dispoeitioun on both sides, should difficulties ever arise between the two governments, these will be easily ad justed in • spirit of mutual forbearance and conestreion. I return your lordship my thsnka for your kind expressions and wishes in reference to myself, and feel confident that in our future intercourse we shall proceed harmoniously and satisfactorily in did-harping our respective duties. It is understood that Mr. Buchanan is favourable to the reinstatement of Mr. Barclay, late British Consul at New York.

General Toddeben is expected at the Ituasian embassy to await the arrival of the Grand Duke Constantine. Ferukh Khan is expected in Paris again next week.

He only took with him four per sons of his suite, But as soon as he receives from Teheran the ratification of the treaty just concluded he will go to England a second time, and will then be accompanied by the whole personnel of his lega tion. It is expected that he will conclude in Lon don the negotiations already set on foot for com mercial treaties with several powers, and that be will embark for Persia in the month of September. M.

It contains little more than extracts from the placards which met his eye on arriving in London, and teething whatever to interest an English reader, ex cept perhaps that he got out of his cab to inquire of somebody in the street why Christian electors were so earnestly calbd upon not to vote for Locke, and received an amnia of the state of the Sunday ques tion which very much astonished him.
