VIE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1863. UP. In the Queensland Guardian there is table of the market rate of labour, after the arrival of two emigrant ships, which would make half Lan cashire envy those who have achieved the removal, if the terms could be posted up at our street corners. This brings us to one more suggestion which has lately been offered. A circular before us, signed by Mr. Bsacca ALMACI, proposes that County or other district Societies should be formed for the obtaining and diffusing of accurate and practical information about the agricultural needs and prospects of some of our colonies. Whatever any one knows might thus be made useful to others ; information sent home by those already gone might be made avail able ; neighbours, high and low, rich and poor, and of various callings, might lay their heads toge ther to effect the emigration of some of them, with a much improved security ; and, above all, neighbours might go together, or follow each other, and settle down in their new home within reach of each other, thus escaping the forlorn feeling of loneliness which may naturally deter many who would go cheerfully to live among old acquaintance. This looks sensible enough. Bat we have not come to the point yet. . . . FROM PARIS. RESIGNATION OF M. FOULD. mai wiz owl oosaanonoirr.l PARIS, MONDAY Evianta. M. Fonld has resigned. I state the news as a certainty, although the evening papers, for obvious ~one, speak of it timidly aa a rumour. The 10I mediate reason for the serious step taken by the Finance Minister is the appearance in the lifbats and Pattie of the following communicated note : The senoras consullunt of the 31st December, 1861, in deciding that no supplementary or extraordinary credits could be granted except in virtue of a law, wished to asso ciate in the closest manner the Legislative Body with the policy of the government, and to make the public powers jointly responsible in the administration of the country. The experiment made of it in 1862 proves that object to have been attained, since the supplements of credit& opened by the law ware voted almost in totality, prior to the ex ' pauses. The importance of that result could not have escaped anyone ; the great bodies of the state end the pub. lie journals have been right in stating it. The Palrit and the Debate, however, went too far when, in their numbers of the 26th and 28th instant, they announced that in 1862, owing to the salutary fear inspired in the administration by the senatua co:indium, ►nd in spite of the difficulties of the Mexican war, tie credits added to the original budget only amounted to 35 millions ; and when they found in that comparatively small sum an indication of the carelessness of the ministers under the preceding regime. That appreciation is not just. The trial of 1862 will, on the contrary, have had the advantage of rendering evident the moderation with which the Sovereign made use of his prerogative. The following are the facts: —The total eum of the extra-budgetary credits amounted in 1861, under the old regime, to 352 oaken ; in 1860, it was 291 millions ; and in 1862, under the Empire of the sonata consultuni, the total amount was, not 35 mil lions, but 300. (Vide statement of the situation of the empire.) The similitude of those results has nothing to ex cite astonishment. The senatlis eonnatrai has not had the effect of suppressing the causes of extraordinary expenses. If the war in Mexico saddled 1862 with exceptional burdens, the years 1860 and 1861 had to support the expenses of the annexed departments, those resulting from the purchase of Menton and Roquebrune, and those arising from the occu pation of Rome and Syria, and the Chinese and Cochin China expeditions. In presence of the duties imposed on them by the public interest and the tuitional honour, the govern meet and the Legislative Body, animated by the same spirit of patriotism, cannot have two manners of acting under cir cumstances so analogous. LATKEIT wrELLIGENos. THE POLISH QUESTION. The Independence Beige of yesterday evening ears : —" The exchange of diplomatic communications on the subject of the affairs of Poland oontinnes with great activity. At Paris, on Saturday, after a council of ministers, M. Drouyn de Lhays had a long con ference with the Ambassadors of England and Austria. On the other hand M. de Budberg bad au interview with M. de Goltz, and in the evening he went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After these movements despatches were sent simul taneously to the four capitals—Berlin, London, St. Petersburg, and Vienna." PRUSSIA. At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Berlin, on the 28th of March, the president an nounced that he had received the resignation of the Polish deputy Bentkowski, who is knowu to have become Chief Staff-Major of Langiewicz, and who has now fled into Galicia. It is alleged that another Polish deputy, K Niegolewski, has quitted Berlin for the purpose of joining the insurgents on the Russian territory. As a rumour is in circulation at Berlin that the government contem plates delivering to the Russian authorities the subjects of the ancient kingdom of Poland who, in consequence of late events, have fled to the Prus sian territory, the Polish section of the Chamber of Deputies intends to interrogate the minister on that subject in the sitting of to-day, and to op pose to the idea of extradition that of sending the refugees into the interior. THE VIOLATION OF AUSTRIAN TERRI- TORY BY THE RUSSIANS. The correspondent of the Times (second edition) at Vienna, writing on Saturday, says : Further particulars relative to the violation of the Austrian frontier at Curdles, in Galicia, have been received here. From 45t050 Commack' followed some insurgents across the frontier, and attacked seven Austrian soldiers, who attempted to bar the way into the village. Au Austrian lieutenant, who speaks the Polish language well, called the attention of the Russian officer to the fact of his having crossed the frontier, bat no attention whatever was paid to his representations. Re was repeatedly fired at, and at last taken as a pri soner to a Russian colonel, who was standing, with about ROO dragoons, at a short distance from the Austrian frontier. To the complaints of the lieutenant the Russian officer gave no other reply than that the Austrian soldiers had no right to afford protection to the refugees. " The lieutenant and his men," says the official report, "had their arms restored to them, bat the former was obliged to return to his post without the gold anchor watch and money which had been taken from him by the Cossacks. The common soldiers were deprived of their little savings sad also of their ammunition." This government at coos asked for satiataction, and the reply given to the demand was that the Russian soldiers are generally very ignorant, and the officers rarely well versed is international matters. It in said that the answer to this was, that Austria must insist on satisfaction being given for the insult offered to the defenders of her territory. By means of the Polish insurrection this government has made the very valuable discovery that the agents of Russia CII3IIOL bring about a revolution in Galicia, but that Austria can very easily revolutionise the kingdom of Poland. Austrian statesmen are averse to the use of what may be called two-edged weapons, but I feel assured that they will have recourse to them if Russia should again endeavour to bring about disturbances in the Sclavonic provioces of the empire and in the adjoining provinces of Turkey in Europe. DENMARK. "Private letters from Copenhagen," says the Moniteur, "mention how the candidateship of Prince William of Denmark was brought about. The Danish prince was for some time in London, on the occasion of the marriage of the Princess Alexandra, bin sister, and Earl Russell is said to have availed himself of that opportunity to open a negotiation on the subject. Prince Christian, father of the new candidate, made no objection to the minister's overtures, but laid down as a preliminary condition the consent of King Frederic VII. of Denmark. The King was informed by telegraph of the resolution of the English government, which was soon after communicated to him by the English minister at Copenhagen, when the monarch ex pressed his personal satisfaction." (ziona's Ticsowia.) COPENHAGEN, NAM! 90, EvzNix°. The Beriinske Tidende of this evening publishes a semi-official article announcing that Russia and France approve the candidature of Prince William of Denmark for the throne of Gteeoe. The same paper states that Prince Christian and Earl Rummell have both inquired of the King of Denmark whether the candidature would have his Majesty's sanction. The King will receive Mr. Paget, the British mi nister, to-morrow, to communicate his decision. His Majesty does not seem disinclined to give his consent, provided Prince Christian and Prince Wil liam desire the arrangement. His Majesty will, however, distinctly reserve further conditions, es pecially with regard to Prince William's right of succession to the Danish throne. POLAND. JOINT ACTION OF ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND AUSTRIA. VIENNA, lUwa 31. The Vienna papers of this morning state that at a conference between Count de Rechberg, the Duc de Grammont, the French ambassador, and Lord Blomfield, the ambaseadorfor England, it was agreed to address simultaneously an identical note to the Russian government, recommending the speedy introduction into Poland of seasonable re forms. PREPARATION OF AN EXPEDITION FOR VENICE. BERNE, Ilium 30. According to of reports received from Turin by the Federal Council, the party of action is pre paring an expedition for Venice in the Orisons and Tessin. SPAIN. MADRID, XMICH 30, Evaingo. The friends of the Marquis de Mirafforee assert that the new ministry will endeavour to conciliate parties and fractions desirous of furthering the welfare of the nation, and willing to forget former differences. VIZ DRUNKS AGAIN. PARIS. MARca 31. The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram from Constantinople, of yesterday's date, asserting that a Christian village, near Latakia, had Leen pillaged, and that the Dresses of Hanran had attacked the regular Turkish troops. THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MAtcs 31. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon has arrived here with the heavy portion of the above mails, 89 passengers, 6701. in specie, and 1,224 packages of cargo, including raw silk valued at 100,0001. The Ripon left Gibraltar on the 26th instant. Violent easterly gales prevailed at Gibraltar from the 23rd to the 25th inst., causing several slight disasters among the shipping. Exchanges and freights at Gibraltar were on altered. The above note was drawn up by K Magne, the now talking but late finance minister, who has always been jealous of BL Fould, who superseded him. It will be obvious to those who remember the celebrated letter of K Fould to the Emperor, that the above note clashes with it very strongly. The note says that the finances were as well man aged before M. Fould came into office as they are now. M.Fould, on the contrary, just before he took oboe, represented that everything was going to rack and ruin. M. Magne, before sending the above note to the papers, had a conversation with the Emperor. M. Fould understands that such a publication behind his back is a warning to him that he no longer possesses his Majesty's confidence. He is determined to persevere in the policy of the senates constatunt, but there is reason to think that the Emperor finds his move ments hampered by it, and wants a change. It is possible that the resignation of BL Fould may not be immediately accepted, but it has certainly been tendered. The names of De Vuitry and Chasaeloup Laubat are mentioned as probable successors. The Bourse was seriously affected by the rumour of the day. Large sales were effected, and Rents closed with a fall of 65c. The enormous sum of 3,0001. was received yester day at the doors of the tribunes of the new raoe ground at Vincennes. All the printed tickets were exhausted, and crowds were kept waiting a long while till paper could be found on which to write impromptu receipts for the money tendered. The absence of the Emperor and Empress is not yet explained. The Congtitutionnet says that their luncheon was waiting for them in the imperial tri bone, and that servants from the Tuileries were there ready to serve it .-(THIS DAY.) 11. I &A I. We must unquestionably have a monied Auo ciation at home, if emigration is to be the relief to our manufacturing districts that we need, and must obtain. Instead of wasting our money in feeding in idleness many more people than the cotton manufacture could maintain, if it were open to revival from this moment, it is the merest com mon sense to spend whatever is necessary for the conveyance to a new land of those who desire, and are fitted, to go. Our readers have observed the scruple which has prevented the application of the relief fund to the outfit (at 3/. • head) of persons who would at that cut be taken off the relief list for ever ; and no doubt most of us have felt that such an outlay would be the cheapest charity of the time. For our part, we cannot conceive of anything plainer than the course before na—rup posing there is no defect in the evidence of the state of the labour market in our chief colonies. There is plenty of money afloat at present—enough to lend to a dozen foreign peoples, and to invest in a hundred schemes at home. Why do we not lend to our emigrants, so much as will enable them to go to the colonies, and take possession of the indus- trial posts open for them there f India cannot spare her coolies, for she is short-handed at home. The colonists do not like the Chinamen ; and they are quite right, as long as they can get comrades of their own race, and language, and faith, and mind and manners. Let the liberality of the Colonial Governments be met by the enterprise of British capitalists, and everybody will be helped, and nobody hurt. Men of business can have no difficulty in devising and securing the repayment of their advances to the emigrants, whether out of their wages in the labour market, or as the servants, or the tenants of the capitalists who enable them to go. If such • scheme were set on foot, by men of adequate credit and cha racter, it might prepare for the total retrieval of Lancashire whenever the prices of cotton and cotton fabrics become equalised, so as to enable the manufacture to resume its course. Every good and wise citizen will look well, however silently, at the alternative. FOR several years put it has been a common thing for clergymen, and benevolent gentlemen and ladies, to lecture on emigration in their own parishes, and to help away a few of their neigh bours who wish to go. The hearers are more or lees struck by what is told them. At first it may seem u if they all desired to be off directly. When the necessary weeding of the applicants has been effected—when those who are too old, or otherwise unsuitable for government acceptance, are cleared off the list, together with the unhealthy, the disreputable, and the incumbered, others must stay behind with them. Others again cool down, and will at any rate wait ; and some draw back at the last moment, after all the arrange ments have been made for their enterprise. Of the few who really go at last, some write disap pointing letters, some do not write at all ; and a small proportion send money in a year or two, to carry over their relations. Such is the course in ordinary times. It goes on still ; but it is almost lost sight of amidst the pressure of anxiety in Lancashire and Cheshire to go to a land of plenty. When the country parish movement is remembered in these busy days, it is for the sake of inquiring how to proceed in applying to the Government Emigration-office. Here is the first agency. It has been very properly pointed out that the Government office exists for the purpose of assisting to certain colonies persons and families who present themselves duly qualified as to time of life, health, character, etc., and who are pre pared to fulfil the published conditions, and observe the rules. It is simply an agency for transmitting, cheaply, safely, and comfortably, those who apply for the benefit. According to the Official Direc tory, there are four of these offices in England— namely, at London, Liverpool, Plymouth, and Southampton. Good as this agency is as far as it goes, it is fully occupied with the ordinary run of emigration, and it can give little help in so urgent a crisis as the present. Yet the popular mind is apt to turn to the Government. As every old woman who would like to be better off in her latter days thinks "the " Quaxit would do something for her, if she was " properly spoken to," and believes it to her dying day, so any class which finds itself in dis tress concludes that Government could and should set matters right again. The unemployed cotton operatives of Glasgow spoke out this view with all possible openness the other day, when they met to consider, and adopt unanimously, a Memorial to Lord Puienutrow, proposing the imposition of a tax, in the form of the income-tax, to provide for the employment, emigration, and colonisation of the citizens who are out of work. We need not enlarge on the fatal faults of this scheme—on its retrograde character, on its injustice to the labour market, on its vicious centralisation, and its viola tion of the principles on which English society is founded. Lord Pamesairroir will no doubt ex plain, when the Memorial is presented, how im practicable it is. There is no help in this di rection. We have spoken before of the scheme of a Co operative Society in Queensland—a colony where it really seems as if any healthy, intelligent, and respectable settler could not fail of achieving a com fortable independence. Good land may be had on exceedingly easy terms ; there is au assured demand in advance for the crops ; and the cotton which that land and climate will grow is of the finest quality. It is said—with how much correctness we know not—that this particular plan of emigration meets with little or no welcome among the Lancashire people, striking as has been the prosperity of the cooperative associations which have grown up before their eyes. Perhaps the candidates for emigration feel a reluctance to form a pert of a community of a thousand families who will be bound to remain together for a certain time, to secure the fulfilment of the virtual condi lions of their settlement. More probably still, they dislike the immediate subscription, and its continuance till they can have their turn to go ; and they may dread the contentions which may arise among the many who will be eager to get away. This is very natural ; but it seems a pity, considering the multitude of resources actually awaiting the industry of a thousand families of varied training and tastes. When we read of the fine cotton crops already rained, and the fer tility of the land in grain and grass and roots; of the pastures, producing meat, wool, and dairy produce to any extent; of the mulberry trees and the silkworms, from which valuable samples of silk have already been sent home ; of the profit that German settlers have already made of their bees in that flowery land—it does seem a pity that the colony should be driven to admit coolies and Chinamen, for want of labour, when so many thousands of ourselves are in need of a field for our industry. Here we seem to come in sight of what ought to be done. Tae VOLMITXIM Review AT BILIGHTON.—We are authorised to state that the arrangements for Volunteer Corps going to Brighton on Easter Mon day will be su bs tantially the same as those of last year. The railway authorities have arranged that the return trains should commence to leave Brigh ton at 6.30 p.m., and continue running alternately to London-bridge and Victoria stations at the average rate of six trains per hour.

It was a horrible speotiscle to see the fury of the &Micah, terrified by the eight of the fire, and by the extreme heat. Nothing could exceed the rage of the ferocious inmates of the garden, particularly of the li o ns and bears, and in order to calm them the keepers ware obliged to be coestantly deluging them with cold water. The military authorities sent a detachment of riflemen to fire on the animals in ease it should be found impossible to me. them. Fortunately that extremity was not found necessary, as the fire was extinguished." A letter from the Hague of the 27th gives some details of a fire which took place in the ball-room when their Majraties were present. At midnight, just as the company were about to sit down to supper, the flame of • wax.light communicated to the hangings with which the room was ornamented, and in a moment the walla and ceilings were in a flame. The Queen, with great presence of mind, raised her voice and recommended everyone to be calm and silent, and, thanks to that salutary advice, every one left the place without any accident occurring. The King and the princes remained on the spot until the fire was got under. The whole of the furniture of three rooms Iwas deetroyed. - - - A Kumigsborg letter in the Cologne Gazette says :—•' A lawsuit of some interest on the subject of the copyright in a piece of music has just been heard before the tribunal of this city.

The last share number on the register by seniority is No. 13,883, and the lot share leaned up to lady-day, 1863, was No. 19,120. The first allotment for the current year took place on the 18th of February, and the holders of rights of choice had the privilege of selecting, in rota tion, building land, boom both freehold and leasehold, and ground -rents. The new estates comprised the Bret portion of the Woodhouse estate, Winstead, in South Essex, and the final portion of the Woodbury Park estate. Tunbridge Wells, in West Kent; the ground-rents were at Roman Rood, and the honses and villas at Old Ford, Roman Road, Enfield, and Camberwell. As regards the Wanateed pro. party, the executive committee have much pleasure in re. to the member', that the Woodhouse mansion, with a p b o o t r:four acres of the groneds, at the extremity of the estate, has been sold to a very excellent institution, leaving mat eligible building Lod to be disposed of. either in large or small quantities. The first portion allotted is si tuated in Wigram's-lane and Cann-hall-lane, and, after wid ening these two roads, new frontages have been created in a new intersecting road, celled Woodhouse-road. These work. will be constructed forthwith. Wansteed is in such • healthy neighbourhood, is so well supplied with railroad and omnibus communication, and is within such an easy distance from town, that it cannot fail to become one of the popular me. tropoliten suburbs. Plots on the Woodbury Park estate, Tunbridge Wells, continue to be in demand.

The finishing of the Beeshoiongh-road and the Alton-road, heating the Rothansptoo-lane, has opened up fine building sites, commandi n g view' of Richmond-park and the Surrey hills. The opening of the underground railway and the general extension of the metropolitan lines, have already caused a demand for land on the so ciety's suburban estates, with every prospect of • cue siderable increase in building operations. New estates have been recently acquired at Sout ha mpton, Ramegate, and Inpes•. wish ; the first is situated in ' The Avenue,' no the road, one mile from the Hargett, the second is on the West Cliff, close to the sea ; and the last is within • very short dis tance from the railway station, adjoining Handfeed Hall villa".

BERLIN, Rama 27. The government clique and the so-called feudal party have during the last few days had a severe disappointment. The imprisonment of Langiewicz and the partial dispersion of his army was, of course, with the proverbially hasty connexion between wish and thought, regarded by them sa the death-blow both of the insurrection and of their bugbear, the Polish question ; and great was their arrogance and self-congratulation in consequence. They were slow to believe that it is not Langiewicz, but an irresistible national feeling, which laughs at treaty frontiers and is unassailable by governments or armies, that is the true leader and organiser of the insurrection ; that the disaster in the south east is merely local, and has not even crushed the insurrection in that part of the country ; and that, ! so far from being disheartened, the Poles have since continued the struggle with greater determi nation than ever. Indisputable facts have forced them, however, reluctantly to arrive at these con clusions The imprudent conduct of Langiewicz in leaving his army without their knowledge at first' caused much confusion ; but after the more dis contented, amounting to about 700, had departed for Galicia, there still remained a compact body of excellent soldiers in two divisions, one of which proceeded westward, and the other towards the north-east, in the direction of Swienty Krzyz. The fate of the former is not known; the latter, under Colonel Crachowski, was overtaken by the Russians in large force near Krzeszow, on the Galician frontier. In two desperate encounters, at Potak and Huta, the Russians, under Biedraga, were defeated with great loss ; but at Gorda a portion of a division of 8,000 men advancing from Volhynia under General Itzewuski came up, and the Poles were so immensely outnumbered that, after a heroic struggle, in which 100 of them were killed or severely wounded, 400 escaped into Galicia, and the rest retreated towards Janow. They are now , in great danger, for the rest of Rzewuski's division has, it appears, crossed the Bug at Usciluga ; but it is probable that before it comes up with the insurgents, they will effect a junction with the corps of Lelewel and Lewandowski, who have hitherto carried all before them in the north-east I of the palatinate of Lublin, and who have already I done serious injury to Rzewuski's division, by burning its magazines at Hrubieezow on the 22n Besides the corps of these two leaders, there are numerous bodies of insurgents scattered all over this district. Several are at Pilisx ; others at Olkusz • and upwards of a thousand, under Colonel Cieszkoiniki (who should be distinguished from Czachowaki), are proceeding through Siewierz to Swienty Krzyz, which is a sort of central point for these guerilla bands. Altogether there are at least 15,000 armed insurgents on the scene of Laugiewicz's former exploits, and they fight quite as gallantly and successfully without him as when he was their leader. _ _ _ The Russian troops opposed to these 15,000 Poles appear to have suffered considerably from the late battles. Many of the companies have dwin dled down from 100 to 76 or 80 men, and they seldom venture out of the large villages or towns. The places occupied by them are, Kielce in the north, Stobnica and Staszow in the east, Michalo wice in the west, and Opatow and Saudomir in the south-east. The insurgents under Mielencki, stationed about Konin, near the Posen frontier ' have performed a most brilliant feat of arms. A detachment of this gallant band, consisting of 400 men, was attacked on the 21st at Olazow, near the Kazimierz-woods, 'by 1,000 Russians. The battle lasted four hours, and the Russians were at length forced to retire, leaving 158 of their dead on the field. The next day they were again beaten, losing 232 men, 100 of whom were afterwards taken up by reinforcements from Konin, and carried in 22 waggons to that city. The Poles, seeing that the Rumanian bad been reinforced, ther. abandoned the field, carrying their wounded, among whom was the gallant Mielencki, with them, and proceeded to Slesin. Here they met with 2,000 Russians, who were advancing from Dloclavek • and after a sanguinary encounter, which lasted till night, completely dispersed them with a loss of 238 men. it is said that in this last battle the Russians were struck with such a panic that they were ordered to charge ten times by beat of drum in vain. The Polish loss in these three battles was but 50 men. In reading of these extraordinary victories against such tremendous odds, it must be evident to every one that, valiant and heroic as are the Poles, the Russians fight with very great nuwil lingnesa. It is impossible to account in any other way for the enormous and utterly disproportionate losses of the Russians in nearly all their recent encounters with the Poles, especially when it is borne in mind that the former are disciplined and thoroughly equipped soldiers ; whereas the latter are mostly townsmen, armed with scythes, who, three mouths ago, had never handled a weapon. It was not the fault of Prussia that these splendid victories were not converted into defeats. The Russian agents in Posen, Weymarn, and Krywonos, are bard at work collecting information, with the help of the Prussian police, for the authorities in Russian Poland. On the 19th, five armed Cossacks passed through Prussian territory, ou their way from Pyzdra to Kalioz, with despatches from Colonel Prince Wittzeustein to General Brunner, and returned on the same day through Ostrow in Posen. A few days after, a Prussian officer had an interview with a Russian officer, accompanied by five hu at Borzykow, in Posen. Yon per ceive that the Convention is not a dead letter yet. The insurrection musters very strong iu Lithu ania, chiefly near Pinsk, Sluck, Mozyr, Groduo, Wilna, and Kovno. A guerilla leader, named Rykow, has raised the Polish standard also in Livonia.
