LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 13. Lser night an intimation by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER of the course which Government intend to pursue with regard to the business of the &mien gave rise in the House of Commons to a con versation respecting the proposed legislation for India that is pregnant with matter for reflection. On the one hand it is mortifying to observe how completely at sea the leaders both of the Ministerial party and of the Opposition are with respect to that im. portant subject on which the House of Commons has rashly pledged itself to legislate without preliminary inquiry. Though two Bills for re-modelling the Home Government of India have been introduced, there was not one member of the House of Commons who had last night the boldness to affirm that either of them could with safety be passed into a law. The CHANCELLOR of the Ex- COLQCER is willing that Resolutions declaratory of the principles according to which India is to be governed shall be propounded, discussed, modified, and pared in a Committee of the whole House, and that hie Bill shall afterwards be made conformable to those Resolutions, whatever they may be. Lord PAL measron demurred to this mode of proceeding, but even he does not appear to have deemed it prudent to urge upon the House the adoption of his own Bill. He merely declared that in his opinion it would be better that matters should be allowed to remain as they are—that is, to abstain from legislation at present—than that an objectionable Bill should be unduly hurried through. Not one of the Ho nourable Members who took part in the con. venation appears to have been one whit more prepared for immediate action than the authors of the two Bills which compete for their auf frees. The House of Commons has thus tacitly confessed that it has allowed itself to be hurried into a pledge to legislate on a subject regarding which it pensemes very inadequate information, and that While it is ashamed to recede it is afraid to go on. This is the darker side of the picture, the humi liating view. But the conversation of last night suggests also matter for consolation. It is evident that the Hesse of Commons has awakened to a sense of the reepansibility it has incurred by undertaking to re-model the Government of India. The Hewes is obviously pervaded by a sincere, if not as yet a very enlightened, desire to legislate in a manner that shall promote the honour of England and the inte rest beth of England and India. The emphatic dis claimers of party motives and party views which were beard from all aides betray a conviction that the Hones is in no mood to be made a subservient instrument of personal ambition. The House feels that it has acted precipitately, and is anxious to extricate itself with credit from the embarrassing position into which it has floundered. This mood of the Legislature is an instructive illustration et the vistae of our English system of free public dismission. Pension and prejudice may make the majority deride unpalatable truths when first presented to them; but if the minority, confident in the recti tude of their intentions and the justice of their views, persevere in urging them upon the public, Ant ens and then another is induced to pause and reflect, and the ultimate triumph of truth is cer tain. The tide is already turning on the great question of Indian legislation, and if those who know India and seek to promote its welfare are but true to themselves and their cause, there is nothing to fear. Nothing can be more striking than the difference between the demeanour of Lord PALMERSTON in the Rouse of Commons last night and the swaggering bluster of his morning organ in the press. No further back than yesterday morning this Times frankly declared that Lord Deanr's India Bill must be thrown out, and thrown out with the view of upsetting Lord Deanr's Government "To allow the Government " of Lord Wear," said oar contemporary," to carry " out its India Bill would, we admit, be a very great " evil ; but to throw out that India Bill and retain " in Aloe the Ministry who proposed it might be a " greater evil still." And to avert this dreaded evil, the. Tines, which for months past has been syste matically depreciating and sneering at all our con stitutional provisions for enabling popular opinion to cheek and control the wilfulness of men in authority, utters something very like a threat of an appeal to the country:—" We throw the whole country into " confusion for a mouth, and knowingly abandon " ourselves to a periodical saturnalia, in order that 1 " we may ascertain the sense of the majority; but " what avails this process if the majority is to hand " over the power delivered to its charge to the " keeping of the minority, with the special condition " that no amount of incompetency sh►ll be allowed " to interfere for a moment with its tenure of office, " that tenure depending not at all upon the merits " or demerits of the minority, but on the progress " of private negotiations and arrangements arson " the leaders of the majority ; and if Parlianients7 " government ceases to afford us any guarantee that our affairs will be directed by men " possessing our confidence, and by 111118111111111 " which commend themselves to our reason, may " not the people become inclined, as in America, to " take the power of appointing the Government into " their own hands, and to withdraw from Perlis " meet a power of appointment which it so grossly " and flagrantly abuses ?" Such vapouring is all very well on the part of desperate subordinates, who see the "private negotiations and arrangements" which they have been promoting likely to terminate In their own exclusion ; bat Lord Papaw:on moves more in the public eye, his to pay more regard to appearances, and plays for a deeper stake. TEE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1858. His lordship knows right well that in an appeal from his own packed House of Commons to the people, he would have no chance. He has been taught by valuable experience that he has *heady preeamed too far on the subserviency of the House of Commons; and that the defeat which his own inso lence towards that Assembly greatly contributed to draw down upon him is not to be repaired by a per severance in insult. Above all, he has had enough of tact to discern the awakening of a better spirit in the Haase of Commons, and to feel that it would be in ' vain to prams upon a body of English gentlemen, do gma to legislate for the benefit of England and India, a Bill framed simply with the wpm* of strengthening his own hands, by augmenting the rand for political corruption at his disposal. The truth is that the leaders of the rival factions of the Ins and the Outs have given each other " fool's "mate." They may throw up the pine; for play as long as they will neither can beat the other. It is time for the House of Commons to step in, and insist upon a stop being put to this frivolous loss of time. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has pointed out, Mr. HOMAN has ably illustrated and enforced, the means; and Mr. DISRAELI has shown himself no- ways averse to acquiesce in their suggestion. Lord Joan proposed, that in conformity to the precedent of ISIS a series of Resolutions should be submitted in Committee of the whole House, and also in the l Lords, and that the Resolutions sanctioned by both Houses should be made the basis of a BilL This, his lordship remarked, was the course which ought to have been adopted last December. Some delay, he admitted, might be occasioned by thus re-treading their steps, but the ample discussion of facts and prin. ples which would thus be secured, prior to the adoption of a specific measure, would amply compensate for this. Lord JOHN intimated that should the House be disposed to listen to his suggestion, and should no other Member under take the task, he himself would not shrink from the responsibility of introducing the Resolutions in question. Mr. Disttszu intimated his readiness to adopt the oourse proposed; and added that no member could give more weight to suck a series of resolutions than the noble lord himself; bat Lord Joan RUSSELL declared that if Government approved of the course it was for Government to take the responsibility of it. Here the matter was allowed to rest, though if we understood the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER aright, be contem plates proposing the discussion of the basis on which a measure for the future government of India ought to rest by way of resolution, and that he will accordingly submit a series of Resolutions to the House on the 26th instant. There is, therefore, good reason to hope that the House of Commons will be called upon to declare deliberately and distinctly what form of Home Government for India it deems most conducive to the interests of that dependency and of the Suzerain State : whether, to use the words of Lord Joan Round., "it would wish to retain "in name or in fact the Best India Com " pang ; whether it would wish to have a " Council, and if a Council how far it was to be in " dependent, and how nominated ; or a Secretary "of State without a Council." We entirely concur in the opinion expressed by Mr. Homaste : " That " the most business-like way of proceeding would " have been, first. to have suppressed the disturbance " in India; next, to have instituted an inquiry into " its cause; sad, thirdly, to consider how, by legis. " lotion or other means, a remedy could be provided " for what had occurred." And we also agree with Mr. HORSHAM, that should the House of Commons, even now, retrace its steps, with a view to begin at the beginning, there might be a risk of postponing the measure, but that would only be for one year, whereas the evil effects of a faulty Bill would be felt for all time. In the Bona. of Lords, on Friday evening, the Elbe" of Raster will more " that a select committee of this beam be appointed to inquire into the deficiency of mow of spiritual instruction and plum of divine worship in the metropolis, and in other populous disti lets in England end elpadally in the mining and manufacturing districts." Mr. Thos. Dnnoombe intends asking Lord Pal mental, In the Hones of Commons, ow Friday evening, if "he weld have any objection, in the pressat position of the epistles of psdisosatary reform, to lay upon the table of the knee a espy of the bin tar the emadenent at the laws relating le the representation rellarred to is the speech trees the threw at the commencement at the preset session."

The executiye committee, con sidering that the times are now sufficiently propitious to renew the allotment of relates, will offer, on the 29th lastest, theoeuk the ardor of rights, the greater portion of a very veludge propiety at Winchester, giving the freehold frenchles for North Heats. The land is situated in the parish of St. Faith, within the borough of Winchester, sad commands extensive views. It abuts on the public reed from Winchester to Southampton, and is within a dew minutes' walk of the railway station, the cathedral and college. The approaches from all sides are exoe ll ent. The land is free from tithe rent irend the rates an very low. The geological forme srehalk ; and the capability of this land for the erection of villas end other genteel ruddiness is undeniable. The estate is divided on the plans into eighty-three plots:- Twenty-eight at 621. 4e. lid. each; two at 671. ile. Bd.; thirteen at 761. • two at 781.; one at 791.

Prior to the allotment on the 29th, a public meeting will be held at Winchester on the 21st inst.. to explain the general working of the society, and the mode of allotment of the estate. The Hon. and Rev. W. C. Talbot has been elected a mem ber of the board in place of J. W. Huddleston, Req., Q.C. who has resigned, but still remains a member of g t , hj i m,eral committee. The executive committee have the ' 'on to report that a new church, celled St. John's, has been erected on the freehold site given by the society on the Woodbury-park estate, Tunbridge-wells. The consecration by the /Irchbiehop of Canterbury took place on Tuesday, the 6th of January, 1858. The edifice is situated on the high est part of the picturesque Lew, end is now open for divine worship. Principa ll y through the exertion, of the Rev. B. Hoare, the incumbent of Trinity Church, Tunbridge Wells, the funds for the edifice were raised. The piece of ground given by the society being enfficiende c large for a parsonage house adjoining the church, the building will be meted as goon as the funds an euflicient to justify the oom 0110011111ilt of the work. Suggestions have been made for the erection of a temporary iron church on the St. Margaret's estate, near Richmond. The committee have, from time to time, renewed their application to the departmeat of the Woods and Forest., for thefr emotion to the formation of a foot-bridge over the Thames, which they deem essential for the public convenience of St. Margaret's, and the immediate neighbourhood, and they trust their efforts' in this most desirable tneutore will ultimately be succusfal. The ambers will hear with pleasure that the pro moters of the new church on the Haldae* tate have forwarded a proposition to the Church Commissimiers, which it re hoped will lead to the speedy erection of the new edifice. The committee trust that offers may be forthcoming speedily for the building of villas and houses on the other sites appropriated by the society on the Forest Hill Estee, and the Dos addre Square Estate, Reading, sites for churches having been appropriated in both localities. The next Wee which will be dividedamongst the members is the Prestwich property, near Manc . It is hoped that the property will prove one of the most successful allotments made by the society, the land being within an easy distance of Manchester, where the tendency of the inhabitants to reside In the environs is increasing every . year. Ohms have been made and negotiation. are ping on to at tune other eligible estates. The committee never miss an opportunity of encouraging and promoting building operations by making advances to allottees and builders, and the favourable condition of the money market, it is hoped, will soon tend to renewed activity in th e building trade.

The learned judges took their seats on the bench at ten o'clock, and the proceedings of the trial were then resumed. The raze froaaael appeared as on the previous day, John Rogers was recalled at the request of the Attorney. General. He rid—l stated yesterday that I found a letter in the prisoner's room. I have considered the matter since, and I now remember that I found two letters on the 7th of March, signed Thomas Allaopp. This was my first visit to the lodging after I had taken the prisoner in custody. I left the room locked up, end I found it In the same state. The letter I produced yesterday was not the one I first found. Than letter I found in a box with a quantity of other papa s wrapped up in a bill of a sale of some property at Reigate. I opened the bill, and then I saw the letter. Mn. Parker was present at the time. I made a remark to the effect that what I bad found was important, and I must keep it. Mr. James objected to the witness giving any evidence of what he said in the absence of the prisoner. Examination continued—l folded up the letter and placed it in the box. I found the letter I produced yesterday about • quarter of an boor afterwards. It was among • heap of papers. The room was strewed with papers; on the door just under the bed. I did not make any remark when I found it, but haying read it I put it in my pocket with tha other one. When I found the first letter, Mrs. Parker asked me where I had found it; and I said " In that," holding up the bill of eels, and without turning round to look at her. I did not say anything at all to her respecting the second letter. I swear I did not say that I found it in • book. There were a good many books in the room, but I did not remove any of them on this occasion. I did so when I went a second time on the 9th of March. On the 3rd of April, in the ordinary coarse of my duty I made a report to Elk Richard Mayne of my proceedings on the 7th of March, and I made a second report on the 12th. They are the Nuns now produced. The facia were full and clear is my recollec tion when I med. those reports. _ The Attorney-General proposed to read the reports lent In by the witness as confirmatory of hi■ evidenoe. Mr. James having objected, on account of their not having been made until several day, after the transaction, The witness said he had made • memorandum at the time, and he wu allowed to look at it to refresh his memory, and it was put in to oorreborate him in the statement he had made, Cross-examined—My uncle was not with me on this oe. csaion. A policeman named De Luci accompanied me. Hs is an Italian. I looked at the books at the request of Ls. Parker, on aooount of their being in each a filthy state. Mr. James called the attention of the witness to the memo. madam, and to the fed that It contained nothing about finding a letter under the bed. PRUSSIA. A royal ordinance dated Charlottenburg, April 9, prolongs the powers of the Prince of Prussia for three months. M. de Mantenftel has communicated this ordinance to the Chambers, adding that in obedience to the advice of his physicians his Majesty must abstain for some time longer from active participation in public affairs. A remarkable speech has been delivered in the Chamber of Representatives by M. Harkort, a member of the Left, in opposition to a vote of credit of 80,000 Milers towards "secret expenses," included in the budget of the Ministry of the Interior. The opposition was unsuccessful although energetically seconded by other members of the liberal party ; but the debate is regarded as another sign of the revival of liberal opinions in Prussia. A letter from Berlin, in the Independana Beige of yesterday, states that the members of the Left will in all probablity receive a great secession to their numbers at the elections in October next. Several eminent men (such as MM. de Vincke, Henri d'Arnim, Simson, and others who withdrew some years ago from political life) will again become candidates, and resume the parliamentary career. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM 0111 OWW PARIS, MONDAY EVINCING. The Duke of Malakoff's departure for London, which was announced for this day, is postponed till 1 Wednesday, the 14th. Marshal Canrobert, after a short stay in Paris, left to-day for Nancy, the scat of his command. I some time since informed you that the Emperor and Empress intended to make a tour in Brittany this spring. It is now stated that the Mayor of Rennes informed the municipal council, at its last sitting, that the Emperor would visit that city in the course of the present year. The council imme diately voted the following address on the occasion : ..—. . . . Bits,—Since the time of Henri IV., of glorious memory, sovereign has entered our walls. Happy at learning that your MaJesty and your august consort will deign to visit this city, we hasten to express to you our sincere gratitude for such a mark of favour. But soon our population, in throng ing around your person, will exprems better than our words can do their gratitude to the prince whose paternal kindness protects our interests, and whose genius has restored to France order end glory, as well as her ancient predominance over the destinies of Barope. A government despatch received by the Commis sary-General of Maine at Nantes directs the levy of seamen lately ordered to be discontinued. The Bowes has been extremely dull. The Rente, which in consequence of the little business doing scarcely varied all day, closed for account at yester day's price, 69fr. 55c. and fell for cash 10c., closing at 69fr. 40c. Mobilier fell Bfr. 75c. The railway speculators, as might have been anticipated, found small consolation in the promise of the Moniteur, that newspapers which might under estimate pro spective dividends should be prosecuted. Orleans fell Bfr. 75c.; Northern, sfr. ; and Lyons, Bfr. 25c. Southern and Western were 2fr. or 3fr. lower; and Eastern closed without variation. The Dads thus refers to the deluge of bonds which threatens to swamp the money market : It has at length been confessed that too many new works had been undertaken, and that the Bourse can scarcely sup ply the funds required to meet the necessary expenditure ; permission has consequently been asked of the stets to extend the period for the termination of the said works. The various companies have commenced holding their general meetings ; what are the resolutions taken even by the most flourishing companies? The Orleans Company proposes sn issue of 100 millions in bends; the Parisian Oss Company of 21,714 bonds; the minis of the Loire of 7,000 shahs; the mines of Carman: of 7,600 bonds; the omnibus anspeay of 4,000 shares ; the general maritime company of 5,000 hoods; the cab company of 27,000 bonds ; the poet of Mersernes of 20,000 bonds. The Bank of France has also to dispose of 200 millions' worth of bonds in the mums of the current year; while the 180 millions of the city of Parte will doubtless be mind by bonds. Where will this deluge end P The Press* says in ita weekly commercial re view : The partial revival of trade, which we noticed last week,. is maintained; but our position is still far from normal. The improvement, such as it is, consists mainly in the fact of there being forced mks to supply the wards of home coneumption. There is no symptom whatever of activity in the export trade. Foreigners are buying nothing, then being mill an accumulation of French merchandise in their warehonsea. The two lad packets from New York brought no orders either for Paris or Lyons. It is moreover to be remarked that as a natural consequence of the late oriels a want of confidence prevails among our manufacturers whit& is likely to prevent them for a long time to come from executing orders freely for American bonus. Long credit now appears to be out of the question, and yet this is the only condition upon which the few commisdons that are dif given for certain special articles can be obtained. The provin cial buyers are extremely cautious. They geoerally confine their purchases to a few samples, and wait for a regular de mand among their customers. Stagnation continues in Rouen and Ahab& A few buyers appeared after the Easter holidays, but they looked for a further fall in price; which holders were not prepared to submit to. From other manu facturing towns the deices are more satisfactory. There is a slight revival at Lyons, where some houses are buying raw materials because they foresee that wrought silks are likely to be scarce for a time. The movement which we formerly noticed at Roubaix and Travelog goes en ; the fancy tissues and Orleans goods of those towns ere in con tinual demand for the orosswastes chops of Parts. Complaints are made that many provincial houses, instead of making their assortments in Paris, go direct to the manufacturer, from whom they get certain articles at a cheaper rate. It is cer tain, however, that such a system cannot become ge neral, Moran the purchaser who requires produce of various kinds will always have en advantage in buy ing in Paris, where be can find everything to his hand, rather than in running about, at great expense, to different parts of the country. Cereals continue dull. Prices are lower in almost all the departmental markets. In Paris, also, sales are only effected with difficulty. The certainty that there are plentiful suppl!es in store prevents the dealers from buying largely. The Nopoleonien of Amiens reports that a duel has been fought at Abbeville between two sub lieutenants of the 9th Charente, in which one of the parties was killed and the other seriously wounded. The London evening papers of Saturday, which (the mail being delayed) arrived in Paris only at four yesterday afternoon, were not to be found on Galiguani's table at noon to-day, so that, ridiculous as it seems, the Imperial government required more than twenty hours to make up its mind whether it was safe to allow the Brpress and Globe to be read in France. Constantinople letters of the god speak of certain diplomatic changes as being probable. It is reported that Priam Hallimaki will be misted at Visona by Mehmsed Dleanil By, the premed atabeemador at Paris ; sad that Haider ERNA, the charge-trettaires in Paris, will be sat as ambassador to Bt. Petersburg, in the place of Rim By. A despatch from Wallachia states that the mem- Das of the European commimion will positively leave Inebarest on April 16 ; M. de Talleyrand, the French ootn anisidonsr, is expected in Paris on April 26. . _ Field Marshal Baron Lederer has been appointed commandant of the city and fortress of Venial. The Minister of Public Instruction and Worship in Austria has just pubs shed an order to the effect that any palm who shall join or favour a new sect celled the New Jerusalem, which denies the nosed pahlic wceship, eecledestleal hawarthy, or Mose& of civil society, Waal' be punished with ilas awl ha t. The witnaea admitted that it did not. Cross-azamination continued —The prisoner gave me • letter to take to Wyld's reading-rooms in Leicester-square. I did not go by the name of Roker. I did not go as a spy. The commissioners ordered me to attend • public meeting there. I was ordered by the commissioners of the English police to notice who attended the meeting, and what wee aid. I went in plain clothes. There is what is called a debating-room at this place. I went there. U. Benwai was in the chair, and the company were discussing political matters in French. I understand French as well as Ido English. It was an open public debating-room. rha subject discussed was to show the difference between democratic and despotic governments. I did not Sep more than half-an-hour. There were forty or fifty perms present, but there were not more than two or three English. I made some memoranda at the time, and having referred to them, I find the account I have just given is correct. Cross-examined by Mr. James—l went on two °maims, but my uncle wee not with me on the two occasions. A oanstable of the D division, in Italian, was with me on the ascend occasion. I shook a few of the hooka, but they Wei in such a filthy condition from vermin that I did not con tinue the search on the first occasion. I was requested by Mrs. Parker to look at the dirt state of the books and papers. I found a letter on the Tuesday, which I imagioed to be signed by Orsini. I have frequented Wyld'a News room in Leicester-square. Jwasnever asked my name, ow did I par as Proby7 The 9th of Janutuy was . the thit oc casion I want there.

Mr. James—The object of the discussion wee to show the advantages of constitutional government over despotism. The Attorney-General—The witness did not Say that. Mr. Jame—Bat that was the tendency of the debate, wet It not itnes—Yes, it was. Cross-examination oontinned—There were two or three Englishmen mutat. I cannot say how many. It is adver tised outside that a public discussion takes piece every Mew day evening. I remained about halt an hour. I attended as a spy, and made • report to the comminioner of what I esit and heard. I reported that • number of persona were dent that M.
