IT has been pretty evident for some time that the curious administrative and parliamentary machinery, put together by the Emperor NLPOLEON ill., would not work. Two functionaries were employed in handling the most important part of that ma chinery, one of whom, M. FOrLD, was to act, and the other, M. MAGNE, to speak. M. FOULD was at the head of the department of Finance ; he bad great powers to order and exe cute, but the duty of explaining and defending his acts was given to another Minister, an official orator. It might have been thought that the first thing requisite was that the acting Mi nister, if not allowed to sit in the Re presentative Assembly, should noirMatc, or at least instruct or command, his spokesman. Quite the contrary : the spokesman appointed to celebrate M. FOULD'S achievements was a jealous and captious rival. The result, which a child might have foreseen, has taken place. M. FOUL!), though not allowed to speak in the Chamber of Deputies, was still a Senator, and on the 24th of last month he seized the opportunity to defend himeolf and his system. He insisted that the deficit was one of only thirty-five millions of francs, whilst under his pre decessor it had been nearly three hundred millions. M. lliscisx's blood boiled. The extra budgetary expenses for 1862 were 300 millions also, and equal to that of the old system, which he had defended. He wanted to show these figures in self-defence, but knew not how to do so ; a.. last he effected it in an official document communicated to two influential papers. It was a challenge to atrial of stiangth, for one orothermust resign. M. Form:, at once offered to withdraw. But the Bourse was thrown into • panic by the mere suggestion of such a change ; and in finance matters the Bourse is no bad jury. It gave its verdict against M. riIAcNE ; and thet gentleman has ceased to be Minister. He might have expected to be promoted to the Se nate, like his rival. But no ; the EMPEROR could not permit a wordy strife between his two em ploys, 14:th the public for judge. M. Ittiowa is, therefore, shelved in the Conseil Pr , v,f, where he may talk, indeed, but not to the public. M. FOIILD remains master of the Moniteur, the Fi name Department, and the tribune of the Senate. It is not the less true that the famous Senatio Conanitimi of the last day of 1861, by which French public expenditure was to be kept in bonds even more strict than those which fetter British statesmen, has been completely broken through. That law provided for sudden expenditure, by per mitting the heads of offices to consult together, and allowing one to cede his surplus to another who needed it. But the financial requirements of 1862 came, especially at the close of the year, in a novel and imperative shape. They came in that of bills drawn by the French Admiral at Vera Cruz and the French Commander in Mexico, to the tune of some 80 millions of franca. What was to be done t At first the system of one department borrowing from another was tried, and to widen their capacity it was ruled that no department should be held bound to meet ;its engagements to the day. Payments might be ad journed, and the money set aside for the purpose might be handed to the Minister of War or Marine to meet the bills of their offices. 113 device was vain. Even the VireMetif could not give a suffi cient surplus; and the consequence was, that, as was admitted in the Corps Lfigislatif, the Mexican expenditure drove a coach and six through YOOLD'S Senatua Comnatin. Still there were materials for a successful defence. Bat unfortunately, according to the Imperial system, M. Meows, the very Minister who was the foe of the Snafus Colurultum, was the personage charged with its defence before the Legislative Body ; and his mode of doing it was to cry " Peccavi " in the name of the Government, admit that it had done wrong, and promise that it would never do so spin. How the Emperor Nirotsos could have borne with such conduct from M. Meows was inexpllcable, except on his principle, that it was requisite always to have two opposite opinions in the same cabinet on every question of internal and external government That an opposition is indispensable is thus ad mitted. In order to its being safe, however, it must exist in the Cabinet, and not in Parliament. M. FooLo was not contented with a combat d hui, ek. in the Imperial Council. He spoke out in the Senate with great temper and ability. He declared that " by the side of expenses de " mended by public safety or national honour, "which no one would cavil at, there were other " expenses of caprice (capenses d'ettrokepient), and " expenses of simple utility, for which different mi " nisters were always ready to plead the character "of their being urgent." It was against pro digality of this kind that M. FOULD declared he had laboured to erect a barrier by means of the &twins Comislium. This may be all very well, and very true. M. THE EXPRESS, FOULD deserves great credit for what he has done, as well as for his great courage and exod- 1 lent intentions. But it remains net the less evident that he has thrown np no sufficient barrier against these sudden resolutions to make war and to launch expeditions, for in 1862, the first trial year of M. FOULD'IS new system, at the end of which he promised two million sterling of surplus, he has been corn. polled to come forward with the admission of a deficit, and, what is worse, allow his enemy, M. MAosx, to state, beyond the power of contra diction, that the extraordinary expenses of 1862 are not inferior to those of former years and other administrations. The complaint of 1861 and 1862 waa that ex penses were incurred which were only brought before the Chamber when they were completed, and when, consequently, it was invidious and idle to blame them, and unpatriotic and impossible to re fuse payment. Unfortunately the same complaint is made in 1863. And it will always recur until the Crown comes to admit the control of Parliament and the public in foreign as well as in domestic policy, in war enterprises sa well as financial arrangements. The nation cannot be said to keep the purse when its strings can be always cut by the sword of a War Minister. Cbt Court. WINDSOR CASI'LB, Ana 6.

THZ DISTRESS IN NORTH WARWICK- SHIRE. TO TEI EDITOR OS TEI ZIPBESE. Bti,—The North Warwickabire Relief Committee beg most gratefully to aekoowledge the benevolent counts. Danes and mundleeat support extended during the past winter by her Most Gracious Majesty, by hie Royal High ness the Prince of Wales, by the leading inhabitants of Warwickshire and of the towns within the county, and by the public at large, In alleviation of the great distress which has prevailed among the operative ribbon weavers resident in the district between Coventry and Atherstoae. The committee have for some time ceased to give relief in the form of weekly alms. They were enabled to accomplish this without entailing undue pressure upon the operatives, by the temporary but encouraging support which the ribbon trade denved from the demand for white ribbons in honour of the recent auspicious marriage of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The committee cannot. however, comma the sad reality, that the experieuce of the last three years forbids their hoping that the ma nufacture of ribbons can, under the existing circumstances of the trade, afford continuous and sufficient employment and livelihood to anything like the whole number hitherto dependent upon it, although that number has been sernewhat reduced by removals from the district, end by emigration. The committee have, therefore, in accordance with the terms of their appeal for assistant's, after disponi ieg more than 4,0001. in relief of the immediate neosesitiee of the operatives, applied more than 1,5001. in aiding emi gration, and the remainder of their fund in other mesas of 'permanent relief, such as enabling operatives to obtain em ployment likely to be permanent in other branehee of in dustry. The committee have exhausted almost the whole mean. at their disposal, and being firmly convinced of the neces sity for further exertion on their part to prevent the establishment of a chronic and widespread pauperism within the district, venture to continue their appeal to the public for inch assistance se may enable those operatives who desire to emigrate to find a livelihood in the colonies, l end enable others to seek in other callinp that humble but adequate provision for their families which the ribbon Indio is not likely to afford *no. C. N. NTSWDZOitTE, Vl►Oltdrman, Central Committee-roses, Bedworth Hospital, April, 1863. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1863. THE POLISH INSURRECTION• pow owe owl! CRACOW, Ann 2. Leaving Vienna by the 7 a.m. train yesterday, I reached Cracow, distant some 260 miles, by 8 p.m. A clear frosty morning bad succeeded to the blus tering weather of the previous days, and the out lines of the mountains cut sharp against the blue sky. A considerable sprinkling of snow gave a wintry aspect to the whole scene, and as we neared Cracow it lay some inches deep. After two hours' travelling, the Sclavonic cast of features and the semi-oriental costume of the peasants told us that we had passed from Austria proper into Moravia, a country almost unknown to the British public, yet abounding in interesting subjects of study. As far as Prerau (where the line branches on the left to Bohemia, on the right to Poland) we followed the course of the Marche or Morawa (5.3 it is variously called in German or Moravian), which, after draining the whole basin of Moravia, flows into the Danube near Presburg. The rail crosses the frontier of Austrian Silesia at Oderberg, where Polish emigrants adopt rather an ingenious method of cheating the authorities. At Oderberg the line branches on the left into Prussian Silesia, and on the right, through that part of Silesia which belongs to Austria, into Galicia. Now a passe is required of those Poles who profess to be going to Cracow, in Galicia ; whereas they are allowed to pass unmolested into Prussia. So at Oderberg a Pole declares that he is bound for Prussia, and travels on the Brealau line as far as Annaberg, the first station towards Prussia. Here he gets out, crosses the Oder, and rejoins the Cracow line at Petrowitr, the next station beyond Oderberg. Even then he dare not, if unprovided with a passe, go straight on to Cracow, but gets out at the last station before Cracow, and thence makes his way into the town. As I had seen the Styrian moun tains sparkling in the morning sun, so after a weary twelve hours did I see the Lyssa Hora, the Mont Blanc of the Carpathians, lit up by his rays at evening. It was quite dark when I entered Cracow, and but for the kindness of a Polish friend I might have had to sleep in the street, so crowded is every hotel and lodging-house. I am assured that eight people are sleeping in one little room in this very house. The streets were almost entirely deserted, and only well-to-do looking men in the insurgent dress were to be met with. In the night they assemble outside the walls, and getting across the frontier under cover of the dark ness swell the already very numerous bands, who are daily expecting an encounter with the enemy. This morning the scene is very different. Being market day, the town is filled with peasants, and presents anything but a deserted appearance. But I must reserve any further account of Cracow for a future letter. I must now impart to you a full account of the events which resulted in landing Langiewicz in the castle here. They are derived from a chief actor in all the proceedings. About five days after breaking up the camp at Goscra, Langiewicz, with his army, consisting of about 3,000 men, lay at Choberz on the right bank of the Nida, a village about twenty miles distant from the point where that river flows into the Vis tula. About noon of the 17th Langiewicz's ad vanced posts reported that the Russians were ad vancing from Pinczow, higher up the Nida. Sup posing these troops to be the whole division of General Czengery, which he knew to be lyiog at Pinczow, Langiewicz gave orders to the main body of his troops to cross the bridge at Choberz, and gain the left bank of the river, at the same time directing Colonel Bentkowski to hold the village in their rear until the passage should be successfully effected. Beutkowski accordingly, with Roche brunne and his Zonaves de la Mort and a small force of riflemen, took up a strong position in a churchyard, and held the Russians in check. When all had now safely passed over, Bentkowski gave orders to the sappers, who had been left with him for the purpose, to destroy the bridge, and this was successfully effected. Meantime Langiewicz with the main body of his troops was in full march for Zagosc, a little village to the south-east of Choberz, and was already two miles distant. No sooner had Bentkowski commenced his march to join Langiewicz than he perceived strong bodies of Russians advancing down the left bank of the Nide. He then discovered that the force on the right bank of the river was only a small body sent with the very object of frightening the insurgents across the river into the trap which General Czengery had 1 lid for them, for he was now coming down on them with his whole division. Rocbebrunne had re mained by the bridge to the last, and ran a good chance of being cut off from the rest of the army. He at once endeavoured to effect a junction with Bentkowski, who, in his turn, sent au adjutant to Langiewicz to beg him to bring up his troops as soon as possi ble. Meantime the Russians opened a galling fire from four pieces of artillery posted in the centre of the line. Langiewicz bad only two cannons, of the smallest calibre, and no use whatever. One burst at the first discharge. The Russian fire caused considerable unsteadiness among the half-deployed troops, especially the scythemen, who resemble the Cossacks in ferocity and insubordination. Roche brunne, however, bravely held his own ; and Lan giewicz having at last successfully disposed his Itroops, the insurgents got decidedly the best of the day, when night put an end to the combat. Lan- I giewicz then continued his march to Wielce, where i he passed the night of the 17th and 18th. the condition of the insurgents hail now become despe rate, notwithstanding the advantages they had gained, for during the confusion of the preceding day the sixteen or seventeen commissariat carriages with provisions and forage had gone astray, and men and horses alike were without food. Next day there was nothing for it but to fight for their lives, as the villages were already occupied by Cossacks. Accordingly, breaking up the encamp ment at Wielce on the morning of the 18th, Langie wicz made for tbo woods of Grochowiska, which lie in a north-easterly direction, not daring to turn southwards, because he could not trust his troupe so near the security of the Galician frontier. At l aoout noon he entrenched himself in the woods, and shortly after the engagement began, the Russians advancing from Galow, where Caen , gery's division had passed the night. A desperate fire was opened on the insurgents, which caused the utmost disorder among the scythe men, of whom nearly half the forces under Langie trice consisted. Rochebrunne, however, seems again to have saved the day, and the Russians were driven back, notwithstanding that they were rein forced by two companies of infantry and a squadron of cavalry, who on their way from Stopnita to Pinczow heard the firing in the direction of Oro chowiska while they were halting for their midday meal at Busk, and at once made for the scene of action. These last seemed to have arrived to little purpose, and according to the reports of the pea sante, whose horses they pressed into the service, drove as fast as they could from the field of battle to Pincaow, their original destination. In a must I=ll4 1111' YR. DISRAELI ON THE ROYAL MARRJAOIL A county meeting of the gentry and inhabitants _ . . _ _ 0/Mockinghimshire, cMvessedbyihe High Sheriff, Mr. P . O . Lovett, wu held yesterday in the County-hall, Aylesbury. The High Sheriff presided, and was supported by the Loot Lieutenant (Lord Caringtoo), Hon. William Cavendith, M.P., Sir Harry Verney, ILP., Mr. Bernard, M.P., Rev. Sir H. Fontes, Sir T. F. Fremantle, and a large number of the magistrates of the county. The HIGH damn, having briefly staled the object of the I meeting, which was to adopt addresses of congratulation to the Queen and the Priooe of Wales on the occasion of the marriage of his royal highness, Lord CABIJIGTOI (the Lord• Lieutenant) moved the actors. tion of address to her Majesty and the Prince, expressive of loyalty to the royal family, and congratulations on the auspicious event. Mr. Duman!, 111. P., in seconding the proposition, have great pleasure, however unexpectedly, in seconding the motion made by the Lord-Lieuteoant. The relations between the royal family of this country and the people are not relations of form—they are relations of feeling ; an t i that feeling, which is deep and universal, has been ma sloped by a conviction—now prevalent for many years in this country—that to the temperate wisdom with which the high functions of the throne have been administered in England we owe much of the happioom and mach of the prosperity we enjoy. Under any circumstances, any public incident tending to the happiness of her Majesty would be, I am sure, interesting to her subjects. But that event which has called us together to-day is one which, while it must engage her feelings mare than almost any thim we can imagine, that could now occur, is shoat soly interesting to the whole of this nation. The mar. nese ci the heir to the throne is an event which must mor els* a great influence on the fortunes of this country, sad it is • matter for congratulation that we know enough of the Prince of Wake to inspire confidence in his character and wooded. That confidence is based on two Mecum-- stances—' , at, }is natural dispositionoind secondly, his edu cation. What we know of his natural disposition, as truly and eloquently described by the Lord-Lieutenant, gives on every confidence that he will not disappoint the just expire. tatious of th , t country. He has given evidence ci an amiable and capes( character, whim at the acme time his e location has bees worthy of his position. It wag devised and planned by one of the Motet and best men that ever flourished in England. Although his experience has not been alight. He has seen much many countries, of various damn of society, and by his natural intelligence he has sequined valuable experienes. Under these circumstances, thus born and thus bred, don. tined to the highest responnbilitisa, be has early in life de cided on the event which is the mast important to the life of every man. Generally spesiong, whim young primes the heirs to great monarchies are 'married, their montages are advised and planned by others, and often are influenced by feelings which certainly do not spring from the affections. But in this case it is • subject for great eon gratriation that the marriage of his royal nighuss is one to which he has been prompted entirely by his own feelings, and we here every expectation that it m a choice which will secure his happiness. He has had early in life the wisdom to decide on possessing a happy home, and • happy home for • Prime is the best security for the happi. nese of his subjects. I hove, therefore, great pleasure in supporting the address which has been moved by the Lord. Lieutenant, which, I think, properly expresses the tional loyalty of this anciset county. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, moved by Lord Caanrcrox and seconded by Sir H. VULIIIT, closed the proceedings. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. THE CENTB.AL BELIEF FUND.

LATEST IN TICILIGINNOZ. (arum's TZLEGLIIII) RIISSLL ADDRESS OF THE NOBILITY TO THE EMPEROR. ET. PETERSBURG, Ann. 7. The following are the principal passages of the address to the Emperor, voted unanimously at the meeting of the nobility of the government of St. Petersburg. The address says :—" The pretensions to the patrimony of Russia arising from the troubles in Poland excite our grief and indignation. The era of reforms inaugurated by your Majesty will not be favourable for the projecta formed against the integrity of the empire. The nobility, united with all the other classes of society, will not shrink be fore any effort or sacrifice to defend the integrity of the empire." FRANCE. RECALL OF ADMIRAL JIIRIEN DE LA GRAVIERE. PARIS, Ann. 7. Admiral Jcirien de la Graviere has been recalled from Mexico. The reason officially assigned for his recall is that the importance of the French naval forces in the Mexican waters is no longer such as to warrant the presence of an officer of that rank. SPAIN. MADRID. APRIL 6. It is asserted that Senor Caatro intends direct ing the attention of the Senate to the financial con dition of the country, and to the deficit of 550 millions of reels left by Senor Salaverria. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MX ODE OWN PARIS, MONDAY BINNING. The second steeplechase at Vincennes has been the great affair of the day. Owing to the fineness of the weather, the success of the first meeting,and the news that the Emperor and the Empress would coluLa;-ly be present, the crowd was even greater than yesterday week. Monday is, with the work ing classes, almost as great a holiday as Sunday, and they thronged to the course in vast numbers, on foot, in omnibuses, and by the Vincennes Rail way. The directors of the Eastern Railway ran trains of immense length every quarter of an hour, to accommodate the public. As the journey only takes a quarter of an hour, and the fare is but eight sons, the temptation to the Faubourg St. Antoine was irresistible. It was a pretty sight to see several long lines of people emerging on different points from the woods of St. Maude, and threading their way across the Vincennes plain, under a glo. rious sun, to the race-course. The flags and the roof of the grand stand served them for a guide. The line of carriages takes a rather more circuitous route, passing by the rifle-shooting buildings which were erected two years ago. As you near the course the view, on looking back towards the noble Donjon keep of Vincennes, and the church adjoining, is quite unique. From the course the village and church of Joinville le Pont forms a striking and picturesque terminus on the other side. At one moment it was feared that the Emperor would again disappoint the company. Just as the first starting bell was about to ring, an orderly officer gallopped up to the imperial pavilion, and two minutes afterwards the flag which bad been floating upon it was hauled down, rolled up, and put in a bag. What may have been the meaning of this movement I cannot say, but the fact is that half an hour later the Emperor and the Imperial Prince arriv: d, and the tri-coloured flag was hauled up again. The Empress did not come till later ; I understand she waited at the Tuileries to bear the Easter Monday sermon of the Abb4S Dauphin. The Princess Mathilde, Princess Anna Murat, Prince Murat, and Prince Joachim Murat were in the impe rial tribune. Between the races the Emperor and the Imperial Prince mingled frequently with the crowd that promenaded in front of the grand stand. I must explain, however, when I use the word crowd that it was a select crowd, every mem ber of which had paid Mr. for the place. Tue Empress also promenaded, attended by two ladies of honour. The little prince attracted great atten , tion. He Wall dreamed in a suit of ZOOM% dark green costume, with black gaiters up to the knee, and a sailor's straw bat, with green ribbons. He hopped and skipped about the weighing-ground, often ap parently by himself, but his tutor and another gentleman might be seen panting after him with evident anxiety lest he should come to grief, as he ran among the hones coming up to be saddled. I have neither time nor professional knowledge to describe the racing with the pen of a " Meteor." The first and principal race was won by Avalanche, the same horse that gained the grand prize on Sunday week. At the " Irish bask"— a remarkably ugly customer for a horse that bungles at it—Viscount Artus Talon, mounted on M. Coster's Etinoelle, was rolled over. As he did not get up, and was seen to be carried off the ground by four sergenta de ville, it was feared he was hurt ; but he was only shaken, and soon recovered. The course was again insufficiently kept. I saw one man knocked down by one of the racers going at full speed, and I think he must have been injured. The Emperor, Empress, and Imperial Prince re turned together in an open carriage and four, pass ing down the new Boulevard Prince Eugene through an immense crowd of spectators. Baron Matadi. the eminent ea-minister of the King of Italy (says Ur Bedford Tiws), honoured this town en Thursday with a visit to the Britannia Iron Works, and the farm of Messrs. Howard, to see their steam plough in operation. The baron has purchased a set of the apparatua with a view to cotton cultivation in South Italy. The Roma of Naplea states that the ex-King of the Two Skilies has disposed of all his jewels to a Flores tie* house for about 80,C00 Roman south (400,000 fr.). . . . . _ _ A Paris letter in the NouveQiate of Rouen eaye : —"lam informed that the Wanner °Edisto ham authorised roproosatations at the That's Francais and the Th,litra Lyriono for the boos& of the wounded Poles. Iddran Thiel* who is about to retire from the stage and take up her miasmas at Baden, will appear at the Theatre Lyrique for the last time in one of those ropmsontations." The Pisan de la Loire of Nantes relates the fel :twin ingukr ;story :—" A few days ago a respectable man west to the church of St. Pierre to escort hams Ids wife and daughter, who had gone to bear a sermon preached by lather Alexis, a Carmelite. He had ant been seated in the aura more than a few minutes when the beadle told him he most leave, as the sennoa wa■ only intended for females. He refused to quit the church, when the chair was roughly taken from him. He refused, however, to leave the building, and remained standing until the couelurios of the sermon. It certainly would be strange if • husband or • father cannot go to• place of worship to saoertain whether the language used is each as he ean approve of." A cinchona plantation baa been aneceeefully formed oo t►e northers hills in the lased of Trinidad. Accordiog to the Cotornbo Observer the mail packet Neaseals has met with as accident at Point do Halle, by geasading Mime outside that harbour. unsooonntable w Ohapaki, who the insurgent cavalry, when ordered up to pursue the flying enemy, instead of obeying orders, disap 'peered from the field, and it was supposed lost him self in the wood. Thus the Russians were enabled to carry off their guns, which otherwise would have fallen into the hands of the insurgents. A drizz ling rain mixed with snow had continued without intermission during twenty-four hours, and with a heavy heart though victorious, Langiewicz led his troops, soaked to the skin and starving, back to , Wielee, their quarters of the night before. But what was worse than all, the ammunition was now all exhausted—there was an average of one cartridge to three men. A single (cart-lead of powder and lead was in the camp, but there was no time or possibility of making cartridges then. Under these circumstances, at two in the morning Langiewicz called a council of war, at which Bentkowski, chief of the staff ; Borzystawski (who made the Italian campaign with Langiewicz, and is colonel in the Piedmontese service), Ulatowaki, Jeziorauski, and Schmickowski, assisted. Here Langiewics yielded to the voice of the majority, who entreated him not to let the national cause suffer by the dictator falling into the hands of the enemy, which must inevitably have been the case had he remained, and divided his army into three parts, giving the commands respectively to Schmickowski, Czakowski, and Chapati. The two latter had not yet come into camp from Gro chowiaka ; but Langiewicz was confident of their return. Bentkowski was firm in his opposition, and voted for remaining to die, since to advance was impossible, without ammunition and without provisions. The voice of the majority, however, carried it, and at four o'clock Langiewics and his staff left the camp escorted by 20 horsemen. Halt ing near Wirlica, where they crossed the Nide for refreshments, they were overtaken by • message from Smikowski that the troops had broken out into mutiny, and refused to advance in the different directions which had been pointed out to them. Czakowski alone succeeded in persuading his men to follow him to the mountains of St. Croix in the direction of Canow. Chapaki never returned to the camp ; but riding from the woods of Grochowiska, made for Galicia and reached Cracow twenty four hours before any one else. There seems no doubt he was won over by Mierualaweki, whose enmity to Langiewicz is notorious. Scbmiekowski, with the rest of the troops, then followed to Wishes, and there the remains of Langiewices army went asunder, and crossed the trontier into Galicia. Langiewicz himself, under the assumed name of Waligorski, determined to pass through Galicia un observed, wait for fresh instructions from Warsaw, and take the field again as soon as possible. These plans were frustrated by the betrayal of his identity to the Austrian authorities. WEATHER D.RPORT.-(THIS DAY.) Tv DAD. APRIL 7.. A.M.

ACCIDENT TO THE CHANCELLOR 01 THE Ih- CREQUI/L—The Chancellor of the Exchequer is confined to his borne at Canton-house Terrace, in consequence of a fall from his borers on Saturday evening. The right hoe. gentleman la going on well, though he has received some cute and bruises. It appears that between 6 and 7 o'clock on the evening named the right hon. gentleman, who was riding on the western extremity of Rotten-row, was thrown from bis home. The horse took fright, and its rider lost a" control of the animal. Be received a severe cut in the fore head and a slight cut in the region of his nose, and is se verely bruised about the bead. Raving had his bleeding face wished in the park-kseper's lodge, he again remounted and rode borne. The right boo. gentleman had no groom with him at the time, and oa reaching home was much shaken. On Sunday he was obliged to keep his bed. Nestor day be wu able to descend to his library, and on inquiry last evening we were glad to learn that he was going on as well as paarible. A PROTEGE OF ENOLAND.—A correspondent of the ()wilt Oci,dtc describes the meeting at Cawopore be. twee* the Viceroy and the youthful Rajah of Chirkaree as being a very a ff ecting scene. The rajah is a child of about seven or eight years of arm, and au his being presented to ' Lord Elgin, the little fellow put up hie hands, and implored • his lordship's continued protection, adding that he had no father or mother new to look to, but the Viceroy and the British government. Lord Elgin patted the orphan chief on the shoulders, and assured him in the frankest and mom feeling manner, that he should have all the protec ' Moe that it was in his power to extend. It will be remain , bored that the late B %Ws of Chirkaree, this boy's father, • was the chief who saved the lit, of Mr. Cairo, declaring to the mutineers who demanded the Englishman's surrender that sooner than they should get him they should have hi 'only son. The present youthful rajah is that son. TEE REPRESENTATION or DEVONPORT. —With ' respect to the report of the intended retirement of Sir • A. W. Boller, we lied the party papers are pursuing the same course as they did with respect to the report about Sir Michael Seymour. Six months before the event, and again and again during the interim, we stated that Admiral Sir Si. Seymour would retire from the House of Commons, and probably lake the command.in-ebief at Portsmouth. • The party papers repeatedly denied our statements, bat Sir Michael did vacate the Ng foe Devoe. port, and is the naval commander-in-chief at Portsmouth. We have orbited a amour as to the probability of Sir A. W. Buller having his promised mat at the fedi& Council Board, is time to make it momeary he should vacate hit mat as M.P. for Developer'.
