Bunn the elections to the Metropolitan Board of Works took place, we summated that it would tend to elev►te the character of the Board, and inspire ma nioc. in its proceedings, if at its first meeting a self-denying ordnananes were poised, declaring that none of its members should be eligible to the salaried, office of Chairman. The suggestion was unheeded, and Mr. TDRAITZ/1 was appointed Chairman. We remaioed convinced that oar advice was gird; but we abstained from critieleitig triiippointment because we thought we saw that the argument which weighed most with the members of the Board was, that to elect • Chairman who, was not a member would be tantamount to a coalmine that none of these were eemptent to preside. The argument indeed seemed to es untenable, bet we made allowance even for a mistaken sensitiveness on this score; and besides, ell that we could learn of the antecedents of Mr. Tawarrrw was favourable. Bet it is a very different matter when we come to the election of clerk, engineer, architect, and other merely ministerial officers. The Chairmaa of the Bard regulates and directs its deliberatioes: perhaps It was too much to expect that the Board would uses& such authority to say person bet ewe of their owe number. But the clerk, engineer, architect, arid es forth, wily receive and tarry into mastics the orders of the Board. The Board dose not &risme from its dignity in appointing to each offices poems who are . not members. Nay, it may be said members of the Board derogate from their dignity in aseeptieg such aloes. There is, thunders, set the shadow alarms:in for selecting members of the Board to fill places of this deseriptioo. And, en the other hand, if members are elected to fill them, a suspicion will inevitably make to pervade the public mind that men present themselves as candidates for Medi,* be the Board as - a step towards obtaining such appoistments. And this sespicciea will be well founded; for the practice of electing its own members to lucrative situations in ' its grant will inevitably lead to the Board's be coming a centre of jobbery. The public business will be neglected wed personal contests to obtais pod appointments; the elestiess will be vitiated by mine bluenose used to gala a seat at the Board as a stepping-stone to any good appointment that may become vacant; and the Board itself will deservedly be regarded u • mere nest el jobbery—.a nuisance to be got rid of. This would be a lamentable termination of an important and hopeful experi ment. It is most desirable that the inhabitants of this great metropolis should keep in their own hao;ls the memagemen - t of the bed bia sses which has been devolved open the Bard, and =anise a permanent cheek upon the ex penditure rweemary to the tranesetion of that business,. And more than that. experience hasebown that legislation cod the control of national thienes by an elective assuably can only be satisfactorily sosomplished in esestrise where all the hied public bedtime is in like manner mediated by elective and _ _ _ responsible bodiN.

SPAIN. With Spain, permute' relations are still maintained, and some progress hes been made in securing the redress of the wrongs complained of by this government. Spain has not only disavowed and disapproved the conduct of the office rs C w l lt u o illegally seised and detained the steamer Black W.rrior b, but has also paid the sum deleted as inditn• nity for the loge thereby ,indicted en citizens of the United States. In asequence of a destructive hurricane which visited , Cuba in 1844, the supreme authority of that island hued a ' decree permitting the importation, for the period of six 'months of certain builoiog materials and provisions, free ot dote,' but revoked it when about half the period only but elapsed, to the injury of the citizens of the United States, who had proceeded to act on the faith of that decree, The Spanish government refused indemnification to parties laggrieved until recently, when it was assented to, pleats being promised to be made so won u the amount due can be_ ascertained. - - - - Satisfaction claimed for the arrest and search of the steamer El Dorado has not yet been scathed, but there is every reason to believe that it will be and that case, with others, continues to be urged on the attention of th e Spaeh government. I do not abandon the hope of cos. chiding with Spain some g 1 arrangement, which, If it do not wholly provost the recurrence of difficulties in Cube, will render them less frequent, and whenever they dull acne fseilitate their more speedy settlement. After the reading of the Message, Mr. CrArrox made some remarks ?dune te the treaty of April 19, 1860, in order to show the people of the United States the strength of the position assumed by this govern. meat relative to Central American affairs, and the injustice of the position taken by Great Britain with regard to ti n construction of that treaty. He agreed, generally, with all that the President bad stated, and contrasted the pacific character of this country with the aggressive policy always pursued by Great Banat. Mr. Sewall]) inquired whether the cloned taken by the Presidia% wee that taken by the British government re garding the contraction of that treaty, namely, that it was mealy prospective in its operation, and had no referents to the actual occupation by that country of the territory la question ? Was that the uoderstanding of the government of the United States when the treaty was made—Mr. Clay. lon then being Secretary of State ? Mr. CLAYTON replied that it was an entirely new. con. striation, something of which he had never before head. He never dreamed of such • construction being glees to the busgwo of the treaty. Does any man suppose (Mr. Clayton said) that I. In the possession of my seams, entered into a treaty with Britain to allow her to remain in pews. sion of the whole of this isthmus, merely because she had bees is poinciana of it, and then signed a treaty to prohibit my own entatrymen from taking possession, laving her to remain undisturbed ? What motive could an Americas Senate have had in voting for it? Is it possible that soy man can believe for a single moment such a view was in coatemplatioa by the negotiators when it was agreed that ° neither will oecapy,colooise,fortify, or exercise dominion" in Central America ? Occupy means, first, to take poem. doe, and, secondly, to keep possession. Great Britain agreed to do neither, also agreeing that they wood cot ozonise dominion there. He concluded by offering a ran. lotion that the usual number of copies of the manage and decumesta be printed, and that fifteen thousand copiee of the same, is addition, be "tinted for the use of the Senate. M. Date expressed his entire concurrence with what had fallen from Mr. Claytoo, and his gratification at the coarse taken by the President, aad the views enunciated in the meesege. Is the whole history of diplomacy there vas nothing to be found at all eomparsble with the course of Britain regarding the construction of the Claytatßalwer treaty and Central American affairs. Mr. Withiaa commended the merge. He believed this eeaatsy could never abandon the position she had seamed relative to Central America. However the people of the United States might be divided on question, of domestic policy, whenever war menaced them, they would be fond acting In harmony and unanimity. The message might he denounced by pacedo.philenthropiste, but it would meet with a cordial response from every friend of liberty ad lover of the censtitatien and union.: Mr. Swam, announced that he was prepared to stand up and support the Balwer-Clayton treaty, and, if need be, if the British government could not be held to that treaty, he was ready to go farther. He was ready for the asserta sad practical assiatenanee of the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Clayton's resolution was agreed to, and the home adjourned. with a story of a requisition signed by "several" nameless members, whoa, number is studiously kept secret, looks very like indirect proctiee on the part of some rite p ri! s wi t the 3%4 ith a view to organise a • for o ilea of individual interests, i›W mem . e A i Board will do well to bear' mind • ay— the day to which the •blectibs hes been lidieurned, with a view to give gr.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MON OIIS OWN CONANSPORDIXT.) PARIS, MONDAY ITAINING. _ _ _ The great news of the day is that the Austrian Reverential has informed Prime Godchild& the Remise Minister at Vines, that the Austrian Le 'sties has rewind orders to leave Bt. Petersburg oa the lath of this mouth, unless (which of coarse is not expected) the &whitey propositions shall be accepted abeeeditiesally to the mean time. It was ea Friday melee last that Prises Clortakakoff received the as sent to the ultimatum at Vienna. The next morning (Baterday) he cornandeated the memos to Count Bed. the Minister far Foreign Affairs. There were in the answer (notwithstanding what telegraphic despatehes may have said about as acceptance with bat one or two exceptioas) a long string of tweeter proposition. Thews were communicated at ones to the French and &iliac ambassadors. In a few hears they received telegraph's lest:sedan that the original reeolutios--eantely, that any oaater•propoeitioaa would be temetreed as a definitive refusal—mat be adhered to. Austria, without the authorisation of the Allied belligerests, was precluded by the eagagements ehe had entered into from taking the Russian proposi tions into cousiderstion. Austria will therefore, as previously arranged, withdraw her Ambassador. She will also speedily consult the Germanic dist, as the propriety of their await an armed Isamoreets is the struggle, which, she says, she is now prepared to carry as against Ramis. Rare, in all probability, Austria will find a moans to Neap from the engagements by which she fancies she is booed.

I am glad to learn that, owing to the facts which have been made known through the press, the Ilya of the Admiralty have been opened to the preeset state of the Baltic, and that the Polyphemus and the Driver have been despatched to put a atop to the intercourse carried on between neutral ports and those of Russia. Although the measures now taken remind one of the adage of " shutting the stable door when the steed is stolen," it is some evidence of the intention of the government to listen to advice, of which they stand so much in need. As yet, how ever, nothing ie said of • renewal of the blockade, and he services of the war steamers despatched hen England must therefore be confined to the detention or capture of Russian ships, as, under present cit. eumstanoes, neutrals cannot be made subject to restraint, and their success now with Russians can not be very great, as most of the vessels under that flog which it had been determined to remove hats already succeeded in reaching their destined ports et home without let or hindrance. RUSSIAN TRADE THROUGH PRUSSIA. (MOM 001 OWN HAMBURG, Jaw. 12. Having now entered upon another year of contest with Russia, it is high time that some measure should be adopted to put a stop to the trade through Prussia, as until that is done it will never be be lieved in this quarter that England really intends to carry on the war with vigour. The nature and ass tent of this overland trade have in many ways been demonstrated of late, but nothing appears to tell the tale so well and so distinctly as a comparative state meat of the shipping trade of the Prussian port of Memel daring the last four years, the vessels arriving there in each of those years being as follows : 1862 1863 1864 „ 1866 showing a difference between the two years of pees and the two years of war of nearly double the amount of trade to that one port alone of Pam* which there can be no doubt could only arise from the requirements of its Russian neighbourhood ; sod if any one should be incredulous on this point, the nature of the exports would give ample proof to establish the question. Without inquiring what portion of the 570 ships whose cargoes consisted of flax, hemp, and tow, was the produce of Russia, as to *certain extent these article* have hitherto formed occasionally a part of the exports from Memel, then is no occasion to ask from whence the 98 ships laden with tallow obtained their cargoes, as that article has before been shipped from that pat Remarks of a similar nature would equally apply to the trade of Palau, Konigsberg, and Dantmic, with the specialty as to the last that it is expressly stated that their exports of tallow and other articles of floe elan produce have originated in the blockade of the Black Sea, as the goods previously exported from Odessa now received another direction in the interior, and, being forwarded by river craft down the Vistula, were now sent into the markets of Europe through a northern instead of a southern outlet, These feet■ should be prominently brought fm• ward before the meeting of parliament, and it will be well if the House of Lords will not again allot, themselves to be misled by the fallacies of Ltd ' Stanley of Alderley, as they were last year, ellen the subject was introduced by Lord Albemarle ; sed it will be equally desirable that the Home of Com• moos should take a more practical view of the gam tion than that which at the same time they veil induced to adopt from the theoretical dicta of Mr. Cardwell.
