PERFECT innocence is apt to say and to do very ~uestionable and imprudent things. There is an audacity of guilelessness which in an evil-thinking 1 and evil-speaking world provokes scandal, and is sometimes mistaken for guilt. It is not enough to be pure without the discretion which is the decorous substitute for purity in a society com posed of rakes and prudes. No one supposes the present HONE Sscarrativ capable of lending a couple of English detectives to a foreign Power for the purposes of espionage. Yet Sir GEORGE GRIT, from an excessive amiability and facility of disposition, has allowed him self to be betrayed into • transaction which to those who know Sir Grottos will appear as harm. less as it looks on the face of the letters which he has published, but to those who are less inclined to think no evil, and to put a fair and honourable construction upon plain words, will suggest an un known quantity of latent mischief. It is precisely one of those unfortunate indiscretions which, in the hands of a malicious artist, can be painted to any degree of blackness without doing absolute violence to the facts. It is an incident of all others from which an English Minister of whatever party should shrink as from the plague. It is one of those cases in which even a triumphant acquittal leaves • stain. .. 4 ,najwc hceret. And yet how simple and in genuous is the story as it appears in the papers which have been laid before Parliament. At the end of last July Baron Baowtrow, the Russian Ambassador, wrote • private letter applying' to Sir GEORGE " aonstant kindness under " a circumstance of peculiar importance." The circumstance was, that the Grand Duke COMFTAN TINS, Governor-General of Poland, had been struck during his occasional visits to England with the good working of the English police regulations, and was "desirous of establishing a similar inati " tution in the kingdom of Poland," in order to put an end as soon as possible to the then existing martial law, and to replace the country under the rule of a regular civil administration. For this purpose the GRAND DUKE thought it highly im portant to secure the services of a couple of intel ligent and active English police-officers, who might communicate directly with the authorities at Warsaw. Accordingly, Baron Barrxwow suggested that Sir Gsoaoz GUY should allow Sir Ric:Haan MARNE to put himself into comma nicstion with " • gentleman to whose care the " GRIND Dims had directly and privatelyentrusted " this object" Sir Gaoaos GEIT complied unhesi tatingly with the Russian Ambassador's extraordi nary request ; Sir RICHARD MAINE was put into communication with the GLAND DUEL'S gentleman ad hoc, and twoof the most able and active of the ma tropolitan police-officers were despatched to Warsaw, with verbal instructions to take with them " all the " printed forms and reports showing the organise- " tion of the metropolitan police and the mode " of carrying on their duties," and to " give all " the information in their knowledge on these sub " jects to the persons with whom they should be " put into communication." In September we find the two police-officers reporting from their hotel at Warsaw to Sir R. MATES in London that they were still in communication with the Rua. elan authorities, " who appear to be well pleased " with the information we convey to them," but that there was still no change in the existing police system at Warsaw ; that everything seemed very quiet in that city, but that the Government appeared to be "in constant apprehension;" and that their own " mission " was kept " entirely secret " except to the three gentlemen " with whom they had been in communication, as their "personal " safety might be endangered by • wrong con " struction being placed on the object of their " visit." Writing on the 7th of September, • month after their arrival in Warsaw, they ex pected to return to England at the end of the en suing week ; but it appears from Sir Gsoaos iiey's statement in the House that they were detained a week or Iwo longer by the illness of one of them. So much for this incident, as it appears in the papers presented to Parliament, and Sir GEORGE GREY has assured the House that they tell the whole story. No doubt, it is one of those transactions which are only alarm ing in the dark. In the light of day they are ugly, but innocent enough. Sir Gauen' GREY did well to strip the matter of all pretence of mystery, by obtaining from Baron Bac SNOW permission to print the Ambassador's private letter which put Sir GEORGE GREY into communication with Sir RICHARD MAYNE, and Sir RICHARD M•YNE in communica tion with the GRAND DCIK ea confidential agent. Yet cannot be said that Mr. RILNKffisY has disco. vered a mare's nest. From the moment when the "mission" of Messrs. WALKER and WHICHER to Warsaw got whispered abroad, it was sure to grow into • rumour of monstrous and malignant shape, and thus' • careless act of courtesy on the part of the Hose SECRETARY was sufficient to throw • cloud of suspicion on the honour of England. How suspicion, once excited, would deal with such an incident as this may be easily imagined. Even the " constant kindness" on the part of Sir Gomm,: GREY, to which Baron Banwirow rsis eihand somely, would be interpreted as *sigh it re.. i fervid to political and official servisiel ; !Ned the Ambassador's peculiar application would oome to be considered as neither the first nor the last of the kind. ' The Russian Ambassador, it seems. is in the habit of applying to the lions SECRETARY for the services of the detective police,' would be the popular way of putting the case to a public meeting. Sir GEORGE GREY has stated that the police officers sent to Warsaw were not detectives, and he might have added, that if the Russian Ambassador was in want of detectives, he had his choice of " Private Inquiry" offices, without compromising the Home SscalrlAßY. On the whole, divested of all mystery and suspicion, this is an unpleasant and unfortunate affair. At the date of Baron Brinxivow's letter, Warsaw was in a state of siege. It is difficult to give the GRAND DOLE credit for any serious in tention of substituting English police regulations for martial law in • city where the Government was living "in constant apprehension ;" and Baron BRUNNOST'A application to the HOME SECRETARY for such an anodyne as the regulations of Scot land-yard, can only be compared to the King of the Cannibal Islands requesting from Lord Rusersc the loan of a French cook. A moment's reflection might have convinced Sir GEORGE Gear of the I futility of a project which, had it been less inconsistent and incompatible with the conditions of the Russian Government at Warsaw, would not have required secresy, but deserved the fullest pub licity. Surely, without any derogation from his "constant kindness,"it would have been as easy for Sir Grottos GREY to give Baron Barrintow the most satisfactory confidential reasons for declining to comply with so unusual a request, as it was to engage his official responsibility in placing a couple of English police-officers at the disposal of the Russian Government at Warsaw. Sir GEORGE GREY, however, had not the firmness or the forethought to say no, when by saying yes he was compromising, not hie own good name, but the good name of his country. No minister has a right to render these private and personal civilities to foreign governments at such a cost ; and a sterner House of Commons would have been justified in marking its sense of an indiscretion—an imper tinence—which, Sir Geoaos GREY may rest assured, will not be remembered to his advantage.

The annual meeting of this institution was held on Tuesday, at the London Tavern ; Lord LOVALYZ, M.P., in the chair. His lordship having opened the proceed. Inge. Lod the election of officers having taken place, the secretary, Mr. Lewis reed the report, of which the following is an abstract :—" During the past year the institution had placed fourteen new lifeboats on the coast, viz. : at Ellakeney, Kirkcudbright, Kingstown, Poona's Howth, Withers's', Thorpe, New Brighton, Ap pledore, Guernsey, Portbleven, Tynemonth, Fleetwood, and Newhaven • six of this number occupying new stations, and the remainder replacing worn out or inferior boats. Other lifeboats were is arum of construction for Budehaves, Swansea, and other places. Transporting carriages nod sub stantial boat houses had been provided for all the lifeboats Six lifeboats had also been built for the Portuguese government by the Mesas. Forre.tt, on the institution's plan, and one for the colonial government of New Zealand. The institution had now 124 lifeboate en the coasts of the United Kingdom. The lifeboats of the institution, during the year 1862, had saved 358 Reiman from wrecked ships, nearly the whole of them under circum stances of imminent peril, when no other description of boat could have performed the service. For these services the institution had granted rewards amounting to 915/. 18s. Id, On these and quarterly exercise, the lifeboats had been manned by upwards of 6,000 persons, and, happily, with one single exception, without loss of life. The gales of last year were unusually heavy, and the remit was that the number of shipwrecks was 1,490, accompanied by • Ices of 644 lives. During the past year, 4,0131 lives had been saved from shipwrecks on our comet. The total number of persons saved Iron shipwreck, from the establishment of the institution in 1824 to the end of the year 1862, either by its lifeboats, or by epeeist exertions for which it ham granted rewards, is 12,854. During the year 13 silver medal a, 14 votes of thanks inscribed on vellum, and 1,125/. 8.. Id. had been granted by the institution for saving the lives of 547 persons by lifeboat, shore-boats, and other mesa% on the coasts and outlying tanks of the United Kingdom. Since the formation of the institution it had expended on lifeboat establishmeots 67,780 i., and had voted 82 gold and 718 sil ver medals for saving life, besides pecuniary awards amounting together to 16,478/. The committee expressed their deep acknowledgments to the Board of Trade, the coast-guard, the local committees, the railway and "team packet companion for their cautioned valuable and zealous co-operation. The total receipts of the institution during the year 1862 amounted to 14,825/. ss. Id. ; of that sum no lees than 2,715/. was given by benevolent individual' to defray the oasts of ten lifeboats. The committee gratefully' acknowledge the receipt of many special contributions from foreign countries, particularly 1001. from the President of the United States of America, "in testimony of his sense of the important labours of the hal:Unties to American ship wrecked *rumen." The expenditure of the institution during the same period was 12,1771. 175., of which sum 5,2694 ns. were expended on additional lifeboats, trans. porting.earriages, tost-housee, and nay gear ; arid 3,9771. Os. 61. on the necomary expenses of repair., painting, refitting, and inspection ; 1,0941. 6s. Id. in rewards for services to shipwrecked crews ; and 2,242/. 9s. 101 for coxswains' salaries and the quarterly practice of the boats' crews. The committee had incurred further lia bilities amounting to 3.1001. 6e. for various lifeboat esta blishments, As No lam than 62 lives were thus rescued during the fearful gales of January last." Mr. Stephen Cave, M.P., moved, and the Rev. Geo. Ainslie the adoption of the report, which was unanimously to; and various other resolutions having been mov sod carried, the prosodiess elided with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman.

He told excellent dories in every Weet of England dialect, and imitated the sounds of the Welsh language so well that, though be spoke not one word of Welsh, Welsh men thought he spoke a dialect of their own tongue.

THURSDAY ERRING. I hear that the Senate has just voted the order of the day on the Polish petitions by a majority of I.IS to 1.7. In the debate of yesterday the history of the various partitions of Poland was gone into at enormous length, and neither M. de la Laroche jaquelin nor M. de la Gueronniere contested the iniquity of them. The real question is whether that iniquity can now be repaired by French intervention. Prince Napoleon thinks it can. At all events, he is for " action." But he admitted over and over again that he was apt to be hot-headed, and that nobody but the government had the necessary materials for judging whether or not France should make a CAMS beUi of the present state of ►ffairs in Poland. Public sympathy is undoubtedly in favour of the speakers who recommend interference. It will tax Billault'a ingenuity, if he is not prepared to recommend effectual intervention, to show the pub lic in what respect the present government is favour ably distinguished, as regards Poland, from that of Louis Philippe, whose supineness is the constant theme of sneers. A body of students, estimated at from 200 to 300, marched from M. Saint Marc Girardin's lecture-rooona to-day towards the Senate-house, with the intention to make a demonstration in faTour of Poland. They were dispersed without difficulty by a police force. The case of Calzado and Garcia stands on the paper of the Correctional Police Tribunal to-mor row. M. Leon Duval, who was retained for Garcia, has been obliged to return his brief in con sequence of a domestic calamity, and it is said that M. Emile 011ivier takes his place. K Lachaud is the advocate of M. Calzado. It remains to be seen whether the defendants will justify the anxiety they have both publicly expressed for the tallest investigation, and surrender to take their trial. The Bourse opened firm, but subsequently became fiat. Benter were finally quoted 68.9 b, or the same as yesterday. WAR FOR POLAND. FATAL ACCIDENT DURING THE IoYAL PRO CESSION IN THE CITY. INQUEST (THIS DAY). This morning, Mr. John Humphreys, the c-oronor, held an inquiry at the Black Boy Tarim Highetreet, Wapping, respecting the death of Jabs Dailies, aged 14, who was alleged to have died from the effecie of injuries received duriug the public entry of the Primes. Alessectra into the City. Elepeth Contensen, sister of the deceased, 125. Walvis'. street, said that the deceased lived with her, and that on the day in question she left the house at half-past 10 o'clock in the morning for the purpose of sessag the royal promotion. She was close. Witness saw her br oug h t home to the house at 5 in the evening in a cab. On bey return deceased told mamma that after she had saes the proemial psis King William-street she was famed by the crowd down Arthurstreet Earn. le the rush ohs was thrown violently ageing' a stand that was constructed of a cotter. monger's barrow and some Boer barrel.. She was thrown down and trampled under foot by people. She then became inseesible. On her recovery she fimaid that she had bees placed in a cab by • woman and taken to the London Hospital. The medical oaken there dreaded bar mounds. She would not remain in the hospital, but came home. Her arm was broken and her body was covered with severe bevies. She died on the 17t11. Witness believed that her death was caused by the injuries received. Dr. E. Wood maid that he had made • post mon em ru mination of the deceased. He found that there warn bitty degeneration e the heart. He had no doubt but that the broken arm and the other severe injuries that the dimmed bad received had accelerated the death of the deceased. The immediate cause of death was fatty degeueratios of the heart, accelerated by excitement aid severs *mum The coroner then summed up, and the jury returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased died from fatty de generation of the heart. accelerated by excitement sod se vere injuries, received from being trampled under foot by the crowds in King William-street, on Saturday, the 7th day of March, the day of the public entry of the Princess Alexandra into London." PRINCE NAPOLEONS SPEECH. Prince Napoleon, in the course of his important speech in the French Senate on Wednesday, rid :—" Admit that you do nothing for Poland, the Emperor will, I am sure, do something ; I have confidence in his intentions and in his heart. But in that cue your order of the day will be in contradiction with his own conduct. Under say cir cumstanoss the vote of that order of the day will be • great misfortune. Do nothing? Do you therefore wish to have the spectre of Poland constantly before your eyes? In five, in ten, or in twenty years you will see it spin, for there is no statute of limitation for crimes of ►he nature of those which are committed against unfortunate Poland. The danger will exist so long u the policy of postponement be not wit aside. Never were cit.. cometanoes so favourable as they now are for putting an end to this formidable question. The Emperor is in the full vigour of his age and of his genius ; his government, thanks to the wars of the Crimea and of Italy, has a great prestige abroad, and great strength at home. There ►re around him pensions which are not strange in ► vigorous nation like the French, but thole passions are not turned against the government. There are also bad tendencies in some parts of society, but I confess that they do not alarm me. The government enjoys great power and prestige both at home and abroad. It is o favourable moment to undertake a great cause. A Voice—We can leave the decision to the Emperor. Prince NAPOLION—By referring petitions to him you do not advise the granting of all their prayers. Marshal BARACWAY D'HlLtizas—lie would not do no, if you did. Prince Narot.eor—l aooept the interruption. What in convenience can arise from referring petitions, when the Emperor would not follow the advice given, especially If unsound! A simple reference is all that is necessary. A Voicg—But it would no longer have the same mean ing after your remarks. Prince Mambas:M-1 now come to the great objection. We are told :—" You want war." To that I reply :—" No ;" but Ido not want peace either. (Cries of "Ah ah ! " and laughter.) Your interruptions do not embarrass me, be muse I know the Senate, and expected them. What can be dome! I know not, nor is it my laminar to know. Ido not pretend to be discussing either a military or a diploma. tic plan. Ace a simple aerator, how can I be sufficiently acquainted with the Mate of affairs to advise any decision ! We cannot indicate the course to be followed, but we can at least defend the came of Poland. That is neither war nor peace. lam no adeocate for war. I know its dangers, and feel that it should not be undertaken without mature reflection. But be careful not to weaken your govern ment abroad, by advising peace. " The building for the new opera, Paris," says the Sidele, " lugs now reached almost a fourth of its corn. pletioo, and is said to have already cost seven millions of francs. Bat as the most costly part of the works are ter minated, there is a probability that the credit of fifteen millions, voted by the Legislative Body, will suffice, or nearly so. In any caws, the building is not expected to be finished in leas then four years." The Sick states that M. Joseph Cwierczakiewicz ►as issued a circular from London, where he is stopping at thi s moment, aneonscing that he has been appointed repro !sanative of the provisional government of Poland at the courts of the European rowers. The decree which gime ►im this title is signed by the Dictator Langiewies, and Icountersigned by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. SAWlttka.

THE ATLANTIC TEL/10LBR AND THE NEW You RERCHARTIL—A meeting of the American directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company was held at New York oo the 4th. at the Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Opdyke occu pied the chair. Mr. Cyrus W. Field addressed the muting in favour of the enterprise, adducing the statements and opinions of competent English telegraph cable ma. nufecturere u to its feasibility. His remarks were of great interest, and were listened to with deep attention. Mr. A. A. Law moved the following resolution :—" Ra solved,—That, in the opinion of this meeting, a cable can, in the present state of telegraphic science, be laid between Newfoundland and Ireland, with almost absolute certainty of swum, and when laid will prove of the greatest benefit to the people of the two hemispheres, and also profitable to the shareho!ders ; it is therefore recommended to the public to aid the under taking. The resolution war unanimously adopted. On the sus cation of Mr. Dodge a book for subscriptions was opened, sod the following gentlemen signed their names for the sums opposite each :—Mr. E. Canard, 1,000/. ; A. Belmont, 5001. • W. E. Dodge, 1,0001. • George Opdyke, 5001. •J. F. Boland, 200 1 . A comm ittee was then ap pointed to take further measures in carrying out the enter- Prim. CLOSING PUBLIC HOLES ON SUNDAYS. —We have received several letters calling attaches to the pro visions of Mr. kninee's bill for closing public-houses ea Sundays, and suggesting that measures should forthwith be adopted to get up a determined oppositioe to it. We concur with our correspondents that a more unjust, more oppressive, more unreasonable bill was never introduced into parliament. And if we have not urged the public— for it is in reality their interests which are involved—it is because we feel a perfect penuasioa that the bill will be rejected by an overwbelmitig majority on the second reeding. The fact of the test reading of the bill being aired by a large majority does not possess any significance, because, as a mere matter of form or courtesy to the mem ber int roducing it, the tint reading is allowed to pass in ninety-aine oases out of .very hundred. And the very fact that a large and influential minority opposed the introduc tion of the bill. conclusively shows that the measure is re- Ml:Obby the house as eminently obnoxious. It will have served that Sir George Grey speaking is the name of the government, distinctly stated that though, Si a mat 4 ter of courtesy to Mr. Ronne, be would vote for the introduction of the bill, be would be prepared to oppose the measure on the second reading. But though, for the reason. we have stated, we regard the rejection of this monstrous measure, on the mooed reeding, as absolutely I certain, we would advise the public to annum an attitude of watchfulness and prepar a tio nso as to be ready, at a me , meet's notice, to Ming all their mourns to bear against this new attempt to circumscribe the rights and abridge the enjoyments of the touting classes. Let there be but one • emphatic, universal, resolute expression of popular feeling ' in opposition to Mr. Sorizes's bill, and it will be swept from off the floor of parliament, never more to be sees or heard of again.—Morning Adrergium COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. A collision occurred on Wedoesday evening at the Southall station en this line of railway, which, bad the trains con ' Mined passenger., would have been attended with serious regalia. The MMus were the 7.10 from Paddington Lod the ft.), both goods, Lod the former was shunting on the ' narrow gauge from the down nu to the dams at Southall, when the signalman inadvertently turned a wrong signal, ' and allowed the 8.20 broad gauge goods to come down that line, and it thereupon rap with great force into the tirst train as it stood across the line. The cossequeoe was that ' the tender of the furrow genic eagles was turned cora plately upside dowel, end the mime heel, was considerably damaged. The driver and stoker fortunately observed the train approac hing, and Catlin they were plaoml in nano- Dent peril, instantly jumped off the ensue sad escaped injury.

After several boars had elapsed the line was cleared sad the trait mum& LATEST INTELLIGENCE RUSSIAN OVERTURES. The France gives as authentic the following version of the story that the Russian government lately made overtures for peace to General Lan giewicz. M. Petrikow, a Russian functionary of rank, having been made prisoner by Langiewicz, asked his permission to go to Warsaw on urgent private affairs, giving his parole that he would return. The leave was granted. M. Petrikow returned according to promise ; and he was the bearer of an " officious" proposition from Warsaw I to the effect that if the insurgents would lay down their arms, the Grand DukeCoustantine would under 'take to obtain from St. Petersburg a constitution for Poland and an amnesty. Laugiewicz replied that he could not trust the promises of his enemies ; that it was now for Europe to cause the treaty en gagements towards Poland to be executed ; that he was aware of the sympathies of the great powers, and that be should leave them to act as they thought fit, while he and his companions in arms continued to fight for the cause to which they had devoted their lives. For these reasons he refused to listen to the offer made. THE ENGLISH CIRCULAR ON POLAND. The Continental journals cannot agree as to the nature of the diplomatic intervention of the Eng lish government on behalf of Poland. According to the Presse of Vienna, Lord Russell did not formally invite the powers which signed the Treaties of Vienna to intervene at St. Petersburg in concert with England ; but simply brought to their know ledge a note which he had sent to St. Petersburg in the name of the English government, and expressed the hope that the powers would approve of this proceeding, and adhere to it. The Nord of to-day professes to be familiar with the text of the refusal of Austria to concur with England in a joint diplomatic intervention at St. Petersburg. "Count Rechberg," says the Nord, " first invoked the peculiar situation of his govern ment towards Russia, its situation as joint sharer, and its proximity to the scene of the in surrection, which would throw upon Austria the first difficulties arising from an ad hesion to the circular referred to. The Austrian Minister further added that, strongly regretting to have been compelled to reply by a refusal to the French circular, be could only re trieve the effect of that refusal by rejecting the English circular, the purpose of which, moreover, was not sufficiently manifest. At Berlin the mo tives of refusal were less numerous. It is especially as a joint-sharing power, and as having signed the convention of the fith of February, that Prussia finds itself compelled to refuse. In short, the English circular may be regarded as having come to nothing. It is, in the fall force of the term, a diplomatic check." RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA. Letters from Constantinople speak of a diversion which may be of some service to the Poles, on the side of the Caucasus. In obedience to orders re ceived before the events in Poland, the Russian troops invaded the territory of some tribes which have hitherto been independent. The resistance was Obstinate and desperate. In the last encounter the Russians lost 1,050 men. But the Circassian paid dearly for their victory ; 500 of them were killed, including one of their chiefs. The Russian general then proposed a truce for several years; but the news of the Polish insurrection had in the meantime arrived at the Circassian camp, and the offer has been rejected. HEALTH OF GARIBALDL The Paris Preue of to-day says :—" The health of Garibaldi gives great anxiety to all Lis friends. Our Turin correspondent wrote some time ago that he did nut share the general optimism, and to-day he writes to us, that nut only is the instep tumilied, but the swelling is gaining on the leg, which may bring about grave results. Garibaldi has been compelled to decline the visits which he has fre quently received at Caprera." PRUSSIA. The first stone of the monument to be erected in memory of William 111. was laid at Berlin on Tues day with great ceremony. The fête was exclusively military, as the feudal party had taken every pre caution to exclude all the elements of the liberal opposition. The Lustgarten, the place chosen for the monument, was occupied solely by the military authorities, the veterans of 1813, and such of the civil authorities as had received invitations. The trades' corporations had refused to take part in the ceremony. The veterans of the Landwehr, however, as they passed through the streets, pre ceded by their old flags, were enthusiastically cheered by the people to prove to them that the attitude of the capital did not proceed from indif ference towards the old defenders of the country, but from the conviction that the moment when internal dissensions separated the government from the people was ill-chosen to celebrate a victory over the foreigner. The proceedings passed over without any disorder. The Prussian lifoniteur publishes a royal ordi nance founding a medal for the soldiers who took part in the wars of 1813, 1814, and 1815. It is to bear the effigy of King Frederick William with a branch of laurel, and the above dates. Ou the reverse are to be the initials of the present King with the crown and the date 17th March, 1863. (11217121 . 11 TILZGRAML ) THE POLISH INSURRECTION. REPORTED DEFEAT OF LANGIEWICZ.

Private letters received here from Warsaw state that earthworks for fortifications are being thrown up around that city. The inhabitants of Warsaw believe that the city will be attacked at Easter. The Lyceum (superior college) of Warsaw has been closed, all the students having left Warsaw to join the insurgents. Enlistments for the revolu tionary troops are carried on openly at Warsaw. The inhabitants are contributing their jewellery and plate to the national funds. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, )(mica 20.
