Bodies of insurgents am said to have occupied Constaatinows, in Volhynia, and Jampol, in Podolia. The insurgent corps under Wysmowski, Zapolo wit:a, and Czirwinski have been completely de. tested. LEMBERG, MAY 25. The Narodown Gazette publiahes the statement that a victory was gained by the insurgents on Monday lad sear Karnianlut, in which 800 Russians were almost entirely destroyed. Podolia is reported quiet. CRACOW, MAT 24. Upon the 15th Dobrowolski had a desperate encounter with the Russians at Loucko but was compelled to retreat before superior force. After a sanguinary engagement the insurgents occupied Rawa upon the 17th inst. The Russians fled in disorder from Czersk to wards Warsaw upon the 19th. Two engagements, disastrous to the insurgents, took place in the Palatinate of Lublin on the 19th and 90th inst. The Russians have committed barbarous atro cities, and are plundering the whole of the Pala- tinate. THORN, JILT 23, Emma. Intelligence from Warsaw states that an inapeo tion of the papers left behind by Ifinisoewski has given rise to arrests and domiciliary visits in that capital. A domiciliary visit took place the day before yesterday in the dwelling of the priest Zamoyski, but nothing of a compromising nature was dis covered. It is believed that these measures are the fore runners of a state of siege. It is reported that Privy Councillor Enoch will be sent upon a political mission to Paris, and that Prince Oginaki will proceed for a similar purpose to Vienna. THE POLISH QUESTION. BT. PErrassuso, NAT 24. The Journal de 3L Pettaspboarg of to-day publishes s despatch from the government of Holland, dated ♦pril 28, and a despatch from the Danish govern ment, dated the Bth inst., both upon the Polish question, addressed to the Emperor of Russia, with the replies of Prince Gortachakoff to these communications. The Dutch despatch takes the same ground as the French, and appeals to the benevolence of the Emperor. The reply abstains from discussing the practical utility of the step taken by the government of Holland, regarding in the note simply the good intention by which it is inspired. The Danish note maintains that States of the second class might incur dangers in consequence of the general complication, and expressed an ardent desire that the Poles would lay down their arms. The reply thanks the government of Denmark for its communication, and assures it that the dangers apprehended will not arise from Russia A despatch from the Portuguese government upon the same question, drawn up in the spirit of the English note, not having been communicated to the Journal de St. Petersbourg, remains unpublished. The reply of Prince Gorteehakoff touches upon the encouragement given to the insurrection by foreigners, and observes that the Emperor bas no necessity to receive suggestions otherwise than from his own heart and the sentiments of duty.

An elector of the 2nd circumscription, in which X There is a candidate, writes to the Temps to say that all the thirty thousand electors in the dis trict have received gratis a number of the Consti tutional containing an article in four columns running down K niers. The expense of this gra tuitous distribution comes out of the public puree. A communiqu4 to the Nide, written before this particular instance of government canvassing was brought to light, justifies all such expenditure as being for the "public good." That argument will not bear a moment's examination. There is plau sibility, I admit, in the theory that the imperial government by openly avowing the candidates whom it prefers prevents the electors from being deceived, and after all only does directly that which all former governments have dons indirectly. Let the government proclaim its preferences as much as it gasses, but hands off from the public purse. It is tight that the sleeks ahould know what they . are about ; but it cannot be admitted as an d priori doctrine that the election of the government men will be for the "public good." M. Ilausamann, how . ever , has gone to au extraordinary expense eu the assumption that this falaC principle can be ! sup ported. The fine satin paper and expensive print ing of the circulars which helms sent round, in sup port of hisproteges,are the theme of general couversa tion. In the provinces the same sort of thing takes place, and with much more effect than in Paris. The circulars of government candidates are not only printed at the public expense, but sent through the post-office without charge, as being official documents. The number of these cir culars and bills is so great that few pri vate purses can compete with them. In very many places the billstiokers are afraid to work for opposition candidates. It is true that in some few instances which have been brought to light of palpably illegal impedimenta being placed in the way of the opposition redress has been given by the higher authorities ; but there is no doubt that the rural police deface the opposition addresses with impunity in very many cases. At Toury, in the Burs et Loir, K Marchand, the mayor, having prohibited the posting of the electoral address of M. Labiche, the opposition candidate, a gentleman in the town named Dr. Petit followed the example lately set by M. Floquet at Pawnee, and posted the bills himself. The gendarmes subsequently paid him a domiciliary visit ; but the law is on his side, end in the pre sent temper of the times the government will scarcely dare to do him any harts. A great many provincial journals have not come to hand to-day. K de Persigny has no doubt seized them in the post-office. That is one of his methods of "working the elections." K Paul Bethmont (the son of the late eminent Wormier), who was a candidate for Rochefort, has retired in favour of K Dufaure. The eommuniquf to the Sikes justifies the govern ment interference against M. Thine now by the example of M. Jules Fevre, who in 1848 wrote to M. Emile 011ivier, then a republican commissary in the south of France, to use every effort to prevent M. Thiers from being elected. Upon this argu ment, the Temps observes that M. Baroche only a few days ago publicly reproached M. Jules Fevre with his interference with the freedom of election on that occasion. How is this reproach to be reconciled with M. de Peraigny's present conduct How is the government to escape from this dilemma ? " Either the provisional government and its agents did well, and then they ought not to be censured, or they did ill, and then they ought not to be imitated." On the same subject the Tempo remarks : We doubt whether any other country in the world ever offered such a spectacle as is now to be seen on the walls of Paris and all the communes in France—the government pasting up the names of candidates whom it favours, and personally ►basing those whom it diespproves. We are unfortunately becoming need to this kind of thing, and it is the habit alone which prevents us from perceiving bow very extr►ordinary it is. . . . . It was not enough that there should be administrative recommendations. we now have ministerial circulars launched against par- Monks candidates, the weakest as well sa the strongest.. The other day there was a circular against IL. E. Baroche, and now there is one against M. Thiers. K Gueroult very sensibly points out the great mistake which K de Persigny is making in setting himself so strongly against the few leaders of "old parties " who now seek to come into parliament, whereas his game should be to receive them with open arms, as being in point of fact valuable re cruits to the empire. The Orlesniats, which give more umbrage to the government than any other men, will now, says the Opinion Nationale, be like " Jacobites transformed into Wriest," It continues: This is well worthy of remark. On the day when MM. Berry's, Thiess, Remusst, sad Odillon Buret took therein didatee oath the most enlightened part of the legitimist party, and the Orlesnist party almost altogether, laid down their arum Instead of remaining in expectation of the fall of as ephemeral dietature, they have performed an act of faith to the durability of the institutions by which we are governed, sad instead of seeking to overturn them they pow think only of modifying them in the sense of their own tendencies and aspirations. The result will be more security for the government, though, at the same time, it must look for more parliamentary opposition in matters of detail, and must be prepared to h►ve a more distinct policy of its own. The Prance declares that "the empire is now borne towards liberty by • current as irresistible as that which ten years ago bore order towards the empire." The Daily News is seized, so are almost all the Sunday papers. M. de Persigny is the minister especially responaib:e for this folly. PARIS. SATCROAT EVINI2IO. The moat remarkable electioneering addresses, among the many which crowd the columns of the journals to-day, are those of M. Clueroult, in Paris, I and M. de Moutalembert, who is • candidate both in the Min du Nord and the Doube. Gueroult, who is an advanced liberal and would not long since have been classed as a repub lican, gives a frank adhesion to the Empire, and that without in the least compromising the inde pendence of his character. He ava, with prac tical wisdom, that he is not one of those who see the salvation of society in any one particular form of government, and look to a revolution as the necessary condition precedent of all progress. He puts in the foreground the fact that the institu. Lions which now govern France are not such as he would have desired to see, but he, nevertheless, ac cepts them, and because be accepts them, he is pre pared to require a great deal from therm I admire this language. It is that which a man may honestly we who feels that the great power of the Emperor affords no reason w every °Muni should not do his utmost to moul d that power for good. M. Guermilt masks out boldly against the Mexican war as being one of those "distant enterprises which disseminate our forces and consume our resources without augmenting our power." He is for finan cial reform and municipal liberty, and aspires to see France " she freest country in the world." M. de Montalembert thinks that liberty is com pletely exiled by "a system which, without being the exclusive work of the existing government, borrows at once the worst traditions of the old regime and the revolution, and extinguishes all local initiative." He is not for any new revolution, and demands to be believed when he says that, be cause he never took part in any of the former revo lutions which he has lived to see. He will never admit that for the sake of any dynastic or adminis trative interests France is to be less free than her neighbours Swiss, Belgians, English, and Austrians. M. Persigny's letter to M. * Hausamann against M. Thiel" is extensively placarded in Paris, and the more it is read the more the opinion gains ground that it will contribute to the mown of the candidate it is intended to oppose. A wag sap, this letter is " Thiess—Consolidd." The Echo de l'Amyron has received a warning for an article, " troubling consciences, and exciting to hatred and contempt of the Emperor's government by represeuting the Pope and religion to be in danffac" The personality of M. Weiss, a young and very clever writer, but who seems to have too great a propensity to get into hot water, is now before the public in various ways. Lest week he wrote in the Courrier die Dimatiche such a violent and unjust at tack upon the " five" late deputies, that many of his own colleagues felt constrained to disavow it. Im mediately after this his signature ceased to appear in the Debate ; and it was reported that that journal, which has 'never mentioned the candidature for Paris M. Weiss baa now withdrawn, bad scratched him oil the list of its contributors. The latter fact is denied by the Debate this morning, and it is announced that while there is no solidarity between the Debuts and the Courrier du Dimanthe, the person and talent of M. Weiss are as highly esteemed by the Debrate as ever. This announcement is not deemed conclusive by the Prase. In former days the Debate once said to M. Guiaot, "You may perhaps have our support, but you will never again have our esteem. The Prune insinuates that the converse is the case with respect to M. Weiss. However, the general impression is that the Debate baa merely put him on a stool of repentance till the elections are over. But the priucipal reason for M. Weiss being talked about this evening is his challenge to M. X. de Girardin. I said yesterday that M. de Girardin had left off fighting, and I am quite sure that he will not meet M. Weiss in deadly conflict. Nevertheless, M. de Girardin thought fit to tell M. Weisss friends when they waited upon him that he would postpone his definitive answer till the appearance of this day's Ceurrier du Dieumehe, which he understood was to contain an answer to the article of the Prase, which provoked M. Weiss' challenge. Now it is a curious fact that the Courrier du Dimonche has not come out to-day. The answer to inquiries at the office is that there has been an accident to the prow; but Buiher'sCor rsspondence says that M. de Girardin's refusal to give M. Weiss an immediate meeting has neces sitated a delay of 48 hours in the making up of the journal. The prosecution against five individuals, for" tieing manoeuvres manosuvres abroad with intent, arc.," waa called on to-day, but in consequence of the indis position of M. &nerd the hearing was put off till June 4. Two of the de:eudanta are M. Montilla, Mexican Consul-General in Paria, and M. Maneyro, Mexican Consul-General at Havre. The "manoeuvres" in question are reported to consist principally of the surreptitious in troduction into France of Mexican news papers in which the defendants had written letters. According to the gossip at the Palish; de Justice it is doubtful whether the government is glad or sorry at the postponement of this trial. One story is, that it was to be hurried on to produce au effect at the elections against those candidates who deprecate the Mexican war • but another is, that the case is so petty that th e' law officers are half ashamed of it. The little Imperial Prince now goes out for his daily drive in the Champ Elysdes and Bois de Boulogne, escorted by the native Arab troops (SpaAis and rums), who have just arrived in Paris to do garrison duty. These wild, extraor dinary looking men seem very proud of their charge ; and it is really a great practical compliment to their rave that the Emperor should confide the heir appment to the crown to their keeping. The crowd wonders greatly at the appear ance of the Spahis. They are mounted on small grey Barbary horses, wear the white burnous and cloak, and on the heels of their red morocco boots steel skewers teu inches long, which serve as spurs. Yesterday the escort asked General Bolin ' the adju tant of the palace, whether they might be permitted to offer the Imperial Prince a dinner of their own cooking. The request was granted. At six o'clock the banquet was served in the Salle de Diane in the Tuileries. The young prince invited five little boys of about his own age to join him. These were the two sons of General Fleury and the sons of Dr. Conneau, General Eapinaste, and Baron de Baur in go Asheep roasted whole and " couscoussou" in various forms, with African vegetables and fruits, composed the menu. The plates, knives and forks were all of wood. The Emperor and Empress looked on at this curious feast. _ IL de Lamartine's unfathomable pecuniary affairs have from time to time been brought before the public. The sympathy felt for him on the occasion of the death of his wife has again provoked the idea of a national subscription. I mentioned yesterday what M. E. de Girardin had said in the Preen. A curious statement is made in the Press.: to-day. K de Girardin says that, presuming on his thirty years' friendship with the Messrs. Pereira, he wrote to them, and received in return a contribu tion of 10,000 fr. On the strength of this example he wrote other letters to rich people, sod was about to write more, when be was stopped by the following letter from M. de Lstuartine himself : •' My dear Girardin,—Your heart is always on a level with your talent. I Gan only thank you for your kind in tentions, but in the name of heaven and our old friend- ship atay your hand and my no more about it. - " LAluarrnrs." Hereupon M. de Girardin's leading article says :—" The friends to whom I yesterday wrote must now consider my letters and my article in the Passe as null and void. But in a poatscript Le announces that M. G. Delahaute, the banker, has subscribed the truly munificent sum of 50,000 f. (2,00 W.), and has at the same time expressed an opinion that M. Lamartine's affairs are not nearly so bad as is supposed, and that if he (M. de Girardin) would interest himself in the liquidation of his debts, everything might be paid without the necessity of selling his paternal estate of St. Point. If so slight an effort as M. Delahaute, a competent man of business, seems to think neces sary, would suffice to enable M. de Lemartine to pass the remainder of his days in peace, it would be a pity if his sensitive note to M. de Girardin I should check the impulse of gratitude towards a ! man to whom France owes much. M. de Lamartine has hitherto injured himself by insisting upon an unsubstantial distisetion. His pride has twinged to receive donations, while he has laid himself open to the charge of pressing upon public notice details of his embarrassments, and begging for sub scriptions for painfully written books for which there was no legitimate demand. It is impossible that a man of 73, so ill, moreover, as not to be able to see his beloved wife on her death bed, can hope to liquidate any considerable amount of debt. by periodical writing. His dignity would certainly not suffer by the frank acceptance of a tribute [Stamped,. Id. Additional.] which admirers are ready to offer to his genius, political honesty, and courageous public services in most difficult times. The Bourse, which had been drooping all the week, was firmer to-clay, in consequence of a rumour, in which I have small confidence, that Russia had listened favourably to propositions of the three Powers for an armistice in Poland. The Rente recovered the fall of the last two days. The Daily News is seized. FINE ARTS. A SCANDINAVIAN GALLERY OF PICFIIREt3. The inbereet created by the works of Norwegian I painter exhibited in the Internattooal Exhibition was so new, and the pictures pmesseed so much originality of style I and truth of expresame, that we are quite sure every one concerned for the spread of the influence of art will be sled to find that a gallery for the regular exhibition of pictures by the pointers of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway has been opeoed, and with the view of continuing it m an annual exhibition. At present the gallery, which is in the Hay market, is nearly filled with pictures by Mn Marcos Lan" • landscape painter of eminence, who sheen by them his works that he is quite entitled to take the laid in the ruder taking. There are twenty Octane by Mr. Lance, end one of these le • very remarkahle work. This is a piton *lmo oo the largest seals (l 9 foie by 13), rereseetiag a brilliant sunset after • storm on the Swedish sena of Solitudes. The sea is dashing with the wildest hay of a maelstrom in the narrow channel enclosed by immense granite rooks, and two unlucky ships are tossing helplmely about, In evitably doomed to be smashed upon this iron-bound coast. The tremendous, power and movement In the waves, and the driving clouds, suggested by the bold and vigorous handling of the sea and sky, give • very striking quality of truth, sad this is roads more so by the large one of the picture, which gives the work quite the impressive and awful character of the real scene. Then there is a wonderful effect of • glorious sunset spread through the picture, precisely such as we constantly see follow the most terrific storms. This Is extremely well painted, with • rare feeling for natural aeon, and the most complete knowledge of the art requisite to threw this sunlight in equal keeping throughout the picture. Turner has done the same thing with more delicacy and on a small scale, but we can remember no picture exactly comparable with this Bee work of Mr. Larson's. Certainly our landscape painters may take • lesson here. The picture has, we hear, been shown at Paris and St. Petersburg, where it mead so muck admiration, that the painter was elected a mamba cf the Imperial Academy. Of the other pictures by Mr. Lance there is an admirably truthful moonlight sea piece, with a steamer sending her long dark curling lies of smoke across the clods, which move slowly before the moon. A burning steamer, with a moonlight effect, at sea, is another work in similar feeling for the contrast of lights. The picture' of the midnight sonnets in those northern regime of the Norway mountains sod the high latitudes at sea off the North Cape ere exceedingly interesting, and probably the only genuine artistic studies that have been shown of the strange effect of the six months' night. Of all them very clever and most original pictures it may be said, perhaps, that there is wanting in them something of the refinement that bolero to the painters and the people where art ham long bees cultivated. At the same time it may be • question whether the grand teaching of nature has not been with our artiste overlaid with too much oouventioeisliem of the schools. A little of the true levee of taste is Indispensable, but in excess it is apt to produce thaw highly frothy and puffed-up works to be found in most of our exhibition. There is one picture by Johan Fredrik Hockert—" A Dalecarlian woman bringing her child to be baptized " which shows the same excellemes so remarkable Mtn Laplander's Hat" and other pictures which were iir the International. There are olrio pictures by V. Melby, E. M. James, J. F. Moiler, F. Kiorlica, L. Bramber, and H. Yak. All these are pictures of fair preimaions, bat we base mid enough of Mr. Lames pictures to show that they aloes give the greatest interest to the exhibition. It is stated by the promoters of the Smodinavisa gallery that they expect shortly to exhibit some work by M. Wonted, the painter of the beautiful domestic and historical pic ture in the International—" Sunday Afternoon," the " Haugiatus Preaching." and others; and there are Revers] Mho:distinguished painters of the Norwegian school who are preparing to oontribate to the exhibition. MUSIC. THE ITALIAN OPERA HOVEE& At Her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday evening, hidßs Artet appeared for the wooed timer Masi' in As Figgie del Reygistesto. Her success was, if possible, even greater than on the night of her debut. She was move captivating as an entree@ and mon brilliant, feeling, and exquisite as a slaw, than ever. We repeat that her per formance of the character, in every respect, is such as we have mot witnessed since Jenny Lind ap peared in it, in her most high and palmy days ; nor have we witnessed anything more sethuaistie than her reception. The public now look with great curiosity and interest for her appearance in another part ; for her taint is said to be IA versatile as it is great, and she ezeals as mere la the grandest and loftiest as in the lightest and most brilliant branches of the lyrical stage. At the Royal Itali•n Opera, -. Marna wan repeated ; Mdlle. Demi, who made an uninominal debut in the pars of the heroine, Mies replaced by Mdlle. Fioretti—a change mush for the better. Mdlle. Fioretti was • ladylike representative of the blade aristocratic beauty, though her acting was somewhat deficient in warmth and feeling. Sloe sang very beautifully, and was vehemently encored in the Irish melody, " Qui sole vergin rosa ;" and the spinning. wheel quartet, in which she sustained the principal part very brilliantly, was likewise enoored. The opera was per formed as before, Mario being Lionel, Orasiani Plunket, and Madame Didife Nancy. The Prince and Princes' of Wales, with the Doke and Duchess of Cambridge, honoured the theatre with their presence. DRAMA. OLYMPIC. Mr. H. Neville, who has now acquired a prominent position on the London stage, took his first benefit at this house on Saturday night, and drew together a large and enthusiastic audience. He appeared on this occasion u Claude Melnotte, in the Lady of Lyons, and though be showed no very great depth of passion, he succeeded in re presenting this difficult character without any offensive colouring. He was supported by Miss Hate Saville as Pan. line, whose performance was a singularly close copy of Miss Helen Fancies acting in the same part. The construe tioe of this popular play I. its chief merit, and this mare than counterbalances the many passages of false mistimed and gewgaw poetry with whirl; it abound.. On Wednesday next we aro premixed a new drama. written by Kr. Tom Taykar, who bat been lying fallow of law It will be in three seta with a prologue, and will be called the Tielrt-of-Lease Man. All the leading actors of the company will have parts in it, except Mr. Robson. CRYSTAL PALACE. On Satunlay the first exhibition this season of flowering plants, cut flowers, and fruit was held at the Crystal Palace. The weather was highly favourable, the sun Mists, brightly, sad although in the incoming the vied was rather cold, in the al terooon the temperature was de lightful It had bean ansounoed that the Prime sad Princes, of Wales were to visit the flower show, and the hoar of opening the Palace was pcetpeued from twelve o'clock to orme, to melds their royal hiatus/sees to enjoy a private view el the exhibition ; sod this was no doubt see of the many cameo for the assemblage of a very madders* number of visitors, most of whom came early, probably hopiog that the Prime and Prince= would extend their stay beyond the hour s/loted specially to their service. As it tumid out the royal visit did not take plass, the following letter having been received at the Palace in the coarse of the =rain : Nay 111, 18113. "My dear Sir.—The Prince of Wales has direeled sae Ile say bar very . wiry No is got to coosequesos of eke Primo [TWOPENCE Louis of Hesse and the Princes, having 'been obliged to suspend their embenation from Orwiseend tomorrow from the morning to 3 o'clock= the afternoon, his royal highness and the Princess of Wales will not find it possible to attend the flower =ow at the Crystal Palace.

KNOUT& "Sir Joseph Paxton, IL P." Notwithstanding this disappointment the company seemed to enjoy not a little the sight and entertainment' provided for them. There was a ten good musical selection, which was performed by the bead of the Coldstream Guards, the Crystal Palace band, and the great organ alternately, and afterwards by all three is combination. The flowering plant" were ranged in two rows in the nave, in the space on each side of the teaneept ; the latter area being left available for those who collected to listen to the musical performances, which took place in the Handel orchestra, to the seats in which the visitors were freely admitted, thus enabling a large proportion of them to be comfortably seated within convenient hearing of the instru mento,. a point by no means attainable elsewhere. For wand hours two continuous streams of persona moved slowly—being rattier closely packed— along the stands, on which were disposed • magnificent display of •=alry pelargoniums, ca=solarien, • compa ratively few efnererlas, orchids, Gips heaths, end seetir sod some specimens of roses, which were remarkable rather for size than beauty of shape and freshness. The seders were truly superb, having been brought, ea regards eke and colour, to something akin to the apprentice which they present in their native soil, though showing the hand of art in their shapes, which were rather trim and formal. l'he pelargoniums, in most instances remarkable for sins, were singularly varied and strikingly beautiful in colour, some being of the brightest and richest hues, and other of the most soft and delie•te tuna The ealcsolarias were fine, whether as regard, eke, form, or =dour. These wee one or two stands of cut flowers, in which the specimens of rams ware, as we thought, more choice than those borne on the plants; the tulips were brilliant, and the panel= very good. When the crowd cleared off and the eye could take to the vista of the nave, the sight was one of exquisite fiend beauty. The fruit was placed in the concert-room, sad though not very abundant, contained excellent specireent The grapes were very good, welleited but not exaggerated ; the strawberries, though monstrous in growth, emitted an odour which showed that flavour had not necesearffy been sacrificed to balk. Some of the pine apples wore nota ble for size and beauty of form. Peaches, nectarines, plums, melons, and cherries were well represented in quality ; and two gigantic cucumbers looked so fresh and had such • deli cate bloom upon them that they held their own in appear snob amongst the fruit. Altogether the show was • success in every sense of the term. CRICKET. Sours V.
