MILITARV successes, unequivocal and extensive, have enabled President Liscour to propose a poli tical measure from which important consequences may reasonably be expected. In a Message to Coogran, he recommends the two Houses to agree in a resolution to co-operate with the several States, by pecuniary aid, foe the gradual emancipa tion of the slaves. Mr. laxcouc explains his views and expectations with a frankness which some may deem excessive, but which is very characteristic, andel least leaves no excuse for misunderstanding his meaning. At every crisis of the present con flict the ParsiDtST has declared that the first object of the war was the preservation of the Union. This was one side of his policy, that one which was naturally brought into prominence by the circumstances in which he was placed. The other side, that which aims at the final ex tinction of slavery, has not been seen until now, because hitherto no opportunity of displaying it has arisen. Indeed, not only has this part of Mr. Li:mix:es policy been concealed, but it has seemed to be denied by facts. He was advised to adopt the principle of abolition in all its naked abso- lutism, and it is well known that he refused. He would proceed to hie end legally and constitu tionally. Many of us thought that to may he would only attain it in that way was equal to saying that he gave it up altogether. But let justice be done. Whatever merits are denied to Mr. LINCOLN as the ruler of a great nation, the simplicity and sincerity of his character will not be called in question. The time has come when Mr. LINZ-out believes he has found a political begs, • basis of fact, for his policy of emancipation. And he seems careful to make it plain that it is a thorough); political measure which he proposes. He Mlle the Federal Congress that the Federal Government " would find its highest interest" in assisting the States as proposed, "aa one of the most ethoient means of self-preservation." He avows that his immediate aim is to secure the Border States to the Union. "The point," he says, "is not " that all States tolerating slavery would very " soon, if at all, initiate emancipation, but that " while the offer is equally made to all, the more " Northern States shall by such initiation make it' " certain to the more Southern that in no event " will the former ever join the latter In their pro " pored Confederacy. I say initiation' because, " in my judgment, a gradual and not sudden " emancipation is better for all." Mr. i/SCOLN here seems to convey that he does not hold the Gulf States in mach account. He knows very well that they cannot exist as a sepa rate nation without the Border States ; that their poverty and weakness would expose them to general contempt, and make separate existence in tolerable. And although he will not permit them on that account to secede, and so give a foothold to ambitious and intriguing European Powers, he is not much concerned about their opinion of his schema. If the Federal Congress assents and the Border States adopt it, slavery in North America is doomed, and the Gulf States may be left to come to their senses. Whenever they do so the Federal Government will assist them in getting rid of a curse. Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee are wholly or in part occupied by the Federal forces. In those States as in others, Virginia., for example, where the armies of the United States are not so well established, but into which they hope soon to advance, there exists, together with •shong Union feeling, a fear that the Federal Government may be induced, by policy or public sentiment, to adopt measures adverse to the pecuniary in terest which a portion of their inhabitants have in slavery. In Delaware, with only 1,700 slaves, this feeling is unimportant; but in Mary land, with 87,000, Missouri, with 114,000, Kentucky, with 226,000, Tennessee, with 275,000, and Virginia, with 490,000 slaves, it must be taken into account. In most of these Stake the interest of the masters in their slaves is simply a pecuniary interest, and is, therefore, capable of commutation. The laws of the State recognise property in slaves, and certain persons hold such property without finding it indispensable to their pursuits. But slavery, although exercising a most baneful influence, has I not become them, as it has in some of the southern most States, the substance of religion, politics, and social education. The Uninnists of the more northern slave States, with Mr. Lixeots's plan in their hands, will be enabled to show their alarmed neighbours that their fears are ungrounded, and that the Federal Government will not do injustice to those who are loyal to it. Mr. Li!rilii.x . 4 proposition appears to hare startled the American public by its comprehen siveness, and we shall have to wait to learn whet impression it will make on the country. The ex tracts we give from the New York papers can tell us little. It is natural for us, accustomed as we are to learn the state of public opinion in the various countries of Europe from journals pub halted in capitals where government and public life is centralised, to study the opinions published ' in • great ArMfaa city, and take them (or those of the Union. This error has led us astray • thousand times during the last twelve mouths. But in truth there is no country in the world where all that belongs to government is so com pletely decentralized as in the United Mass. In looking at the probabilities of the situation we must remember that Mr. Litn...oLe propounds rather an aim than a plan. His proposition at present is simply that Congress shall " &dare . " that the United States ought to oolopersto with " any State which may adopt s 'gradual abolish " ,sent of slavery, giving to such State pecuniary " aid, to be used by such Slate ip its discretion, to " compensate for the inceavessiesces, public end " private, produced by such change of getups." Should Congress adopt this resolution, it will pro claim a policy and assume a duty, but the means sad mode of its execution will be left open to deliberation. We do not gather from the Piss- SIDER'S words that it is part of his plan that the Federal Government should assume the burden of the compensation to be paid to slaveowners on the emancipation of their slaves, but rather that the Federal Government should co-operate for that purpose with the Govenunentsof the States. The PRESII.VIT intimates gently, but plainly, that the alavuowners of the Border States may fare worse if they refuse his proposition. The war ia, has been, and will be, one for the preservation of the Union ; but it is impos sible to carry war into • Slave State without de preciating property in slaves. When the marten are in trouble the blacks run away or become un profitable from the interruption of industry. Mr. lancing says: "A practical reacknowledgment of " the national authority would render the war " unnecessary, and it would at once cease. If, " however, resistance continues, the war must " also continue, and it is impossible to foresee all " the ineideats which may attend awl all the ruin " which may follow it. Such ea may seem indis " pensable, or may obviously promise great effi " ciency toward ending the struggle, must and " will come." Having said this to those who, in the came supposed, would have to receive the money, ho tells those who would be called to pay, or at least raise it, that it is their interest to do so. " In the mere financial or pecuniary view, any " member of Congress, with the census tables and " the treasury reports before him, can readily see " for himself how soon the current expenditure of " this War would purchase, at a fair valuation, all " the slaves in any named State." Such is the fair, moderate, and magnanimous policy of the Government of the United States in the hour of nooses. And what are the leaders of secession doing I In the face of Mr. Dsvies ad mission that the Confederacy attempted more than it could carry out when it undertook to force secession on the Border States, it has passed a resolution declaring— " That the honour of the Government impera " tively demands that the existing war be prom " cuted until the enemy shall have been expelled " from every foot of soil within each and every " one of the Confederate States ; and no proposi " non of peace shall be considered which contain " plates, however remotely, the relinquishment by " this Government of any portion of any of the " Stake of this Confederacy." Mr. Li/400meg mousse and the resolution of the Confederate Senate aptly distinguish the character and circum stances of the two Governments.. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, /862. gbe Court.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. RIIBBIA. THE NOBILITY AND THE EMPEROR. The latest advice@ from St. Petersburg are of an interesting character. The correspondent of the Nord says he has authority for stating that in the course of the present year, during the fetes on the occasion of the I,oooth anniversary of the historical existence of Russia, the government will have recourse to a system of national representation ; yet the same informant is compelled to report numerous arrests for political offence& He attempts to reconcile these contradictions by stating that the government are determined not to let it appear that they are yielding to force. Among the addresses to the Russian government from the nobility of the provinces, which have lately been presented, not the least remarkable is that of the noblesse of Tver, which seems to us sufficiently interesting to be translated in extenso. The docu ment is as follows Sire—Assembled for the first time sines the publication of the laws of the 19th of Febeuary, 1861, the nobility of War salutes the sovereign who undertook the liberation of the paean* and the extirpation of all injustice from the Russian soil The nobility of Tver solemnly declares its sympathy with your Imperial Majesty's generous initiative, and its readiness to follow you in the path which leads to the wellbeing of the people. The manifesto of the 19th of February, 1861, proclaimed the emaselpation of the people, and immured their mate rial condition ; but it has not mimed their independence, nor abolished the abuses inherent in earldom. The good muse at the people mu soareely reconcile the liberty proclaimed by your Imperial Majesty with the fact of their obligations towards the proprietors, and with an artificial division of chum.

In admitting to the judgment of your Imperial Majesty oar humble prayer that you will maks an appeal to the country, we hope, sire, that the desire for the public will. fare which animates the nobility of Tver will not be mime. presented by malevolent interpretations. It appears that 16 persons connected with the judicial government of Tver have been arrested. The nobility of Tonle have petitioned for special and elective commissions for the framing of laws. The nobility of Moscow have asked foe prompt administrative, judicial, and electoral reform. ITALY. The Official Gaulle of Turin publishes a royal decree, transferring the Prince of Piedmont from the infantry service to the cavalry, and exchanging his colonelcy in the former for that of the Aosta Lancers, with a view, it is stated, to enable him to learn every branch of the military art. A letter from Turin of the 17th, in the Condi tutiennel, says : The importance of the triumph which the cabinet has just had consists rather in the form and manner in which the vote was given than in its anneseical force. A grand battle was to be fought after great prepare tion. Thirty deputies had registered their names to speak; the intention was to dispute foot by foot the ground with the new cabinet. The opposition, led by 2d. Lany wished to hold the public mind in suspense, and obtain by istrigne and targivereaties the arm el weakening the new minis try. Y.

PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin, dated the 18th inst., says : "The Ministerial crisis is over. The previsions of the public are unhappily confirmed, and the new ministry presents a strong reactionary character. The King paid a visit to-day to M. d'Auenwald, and was nearly an hour with him. It is thought that the King wished to induce this statesman to remain in the cabinet, but it is scarcely possible that i he will succeed, for, besides the political incompati bility between the new ministers and M. d'Auers wald, the health of the latter is too much compromised Ito allow bin to undertake the duties of a ministry. To-day is the anniversary of the revolution of 1848, and on this occasion a large number of people of the I better class assembled at the tomb containing the remains of the victims of March. The tomb was decked with flowers and garlands. The attitude of the people was calm and dignified, and the police abstained from appearing on this occasion. The Ministry have decided, it is said, upon sending a circular to all the government authorities, enjoining them to observe the most strict neutrality at all the elections. The question will be to see whether it will be acted up to." (ssmia's sumuurs.) THE BRAZILS. BORDEAUX. Wpm mit The French steamer Bearn, from the PtinsES, arrived here this morning. _ 60, ..

An amusing misprint in the Moniteur represents M. Rouher, senator and Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, as making a speech in the Corps Legislatif against the protectionists. The Temps maliciously pretends to be misled by the Monifeur's mistake—the fact being that it is essentially ab horrent to the present imperial system that ministers with portfolios should speak in the lower house. Curiously enough, the Sick, little suspecting that its arguments were being, in ap pearance at least, countenanced practically by a contemporaneous number of the Moniteur, says this morning that M. Baroche's very excusable mis takes and hesitations in a complicated matter for which he was crammed show that M. Roches., the acting minister within whose department the treaty of commerce lies, would have been the proper person to defend it before the chamber. Ministerial responsibity, however, is as yet looked upon at the Tuileries as a pestilent heresy pertaining to parliamentary government. The Petrie, in its " latest news," denies that any arrangement had been made in Mexico at the date of Feb. 21, and says that nothing can have been decided until the arrival of General de Lorenoez, who is furnished with very precise instructions. The Preset says th&t, contrary to all that has been hitherto said, General DOll4 who embarks at Toulon for Mexico to-morrow, will be accompanied by his staff alone, and that the new brigade which was talked of will not embark at present. It agrees with the Pattie that the news of any settle ment before General de Lorencez's arrival must be premature. It is announced that a regular service of French packets between Saint Nizaire and Mexico will commence on April 13. _ _ The Gazette de France is to be prosecuted for having, in As number for March 18, announced the fact that a subscription has been set on foot to pay the fine and costs incurred by M. Eugene Pellets; in consequence of his condemnation for his article entitled "Liberty as in Austria." The sale of M. Pelletan'i library went off yes terday evening in the manner which I led you to expect. The three first books put up, the intrinsic value of which was not 10fr., were knocked down to sympathetic friends for 2,500 fr., and the auctioneer then withdrew the rest of the lots. The Bourse has been decidedly better. The Rente rose Bc. for mush, and 2k. for account, closing at 69fr. 60c. and 69fr. 90c. Mobilier rose 6fr. 26c., and the Italian Loan 10c. The Orleans Railway, in which there has been a great deal a speculation for the last few days, fell 12fr. 50c. in consequence of the expected emission of 300,000 new shares having been made on a different footing from what was expected ; Southern rose Bfr. 750., Lyons 3fr. 7k., and Northern lfr. 2k. Eastern fall 2fr. 50c., and Western was without change. The French troops are to be aneembkd in camp much earlier this year thee real The hems far lodging the troops at the camp of Lyons ere always kept in repair, sad the reghneinte which wintered in Lycra are new about to return to the camp. It was the asap of Lyons which supplied the first troops which embarked for the Crimea, Italy, and China. A friend having oongratelatel Marshal Castellano, who always ocenniaade the amp, on having educated so many soldiers far glory, the marshal replied, "That is all very well, bet I am tired of being the cook of glory for others. On the breaking out of the next war I will ask to take part in the campaign, and to march at the head of mycorps eremitic." The Charirari publishes a caricature in which Europe, represented by a female Bore, is trying to amuse a young girl crowned with flowers, and bearing the name of Spring, with a polichinelle dressed like ea inhabitant of ancient Mexico, with a head-dress cf feathers, bow and arrows, ka. Underneath is written :—" Endeavouring to turn away her attention boa caw **a° The Nazi one of Florence relates the following : " Prince Anthony Bowline a few days ago left Manses, where he is settled, for Rome, on private bagmen, and, after a short stay, prepared to return by Civita Vecchia. On arriving at the railway terminus with thin intention, the lapel polioreinesrs asked him for his passport, which he produced. The passport was a French one ; and • vise or two being wanting on it, the prince was sent back by the police! His highness immediately went and complained of this disomuleous behaviour to the French authorities, who at once had him escorted to the station by • French picket to prevent his being any further annoyed." A sort of political demonstration took place at Berlin a few nights ago at the Victoria Theatre, upon the first performance of a new piece called the atur Damn In the mooed act one of the actors had to sing some verses in which • oontreat was made between a rich man, who was at the same time • moral and intellectual pauper, end • poor man, who might be called rich in the higher gifts of cha racter. On coming to the lost stanza, the singer hit off the Herreuhaus, with Its comfortably-placed members and wealthy landed propristam, in the one pithy sentence, " Da armee relax,' haus" ("non poor rich home ") ; while, by the simple traespositica of the epithets, as " Da rib:hes armor haus," be eulogised the deputies who had bees seat to their homes without just cause, but who went atteaSal with the sympathies of the whole nation. Immediately the audience rose, and greeted the sentiment with thundering rounds of applause, which lasted for several missies. During the subsequent panel the performance the popular enthusiasm war excited to the highest pitch by the slightest allusion to the topic of the day. The good faith of the Viennese who purpose visit ing the laternatiosal Exhibition is imposed upon by the report of a gigantic hotel for the visitors of four nations, who may look out upon the elegant (?) domes of the great building they have come to see from their very bedroom windows. In this cosmopolitan palace there are said to be four great doors of different coloum. From the red portal stalks out the stiff and haughty Briton ; the French emerge from between pillars of celestial azure ; for the Italian is reserved an entrance decorated with green, the symbol of the youth of his country ; while the German dreams, for the moment, that be is in the flowery land, seduced thereto by • sea of yellow paint, as he passes the enchanted threshold. A lamentable accident attended the represent ation of the Huguenots, at the theatre of Avignon, a few days bask. Two soldiers of the 58th, who were about to figure in the piece, were amusing themselves before the rising of the curtain by fencing with foils, when one of them, in making a false movement, cau ed the button of hie adversary's foil to enter his own aye, penetrating to the brain.

Mr. Lincoln delivered bin Stecond lecture ou the Operatic Overture lut night at the 3farylebone lutitu tion. So favourable was the impression produced by tie Ant lecture last week, that, notwithstanding the executive inclemency of the weather, there was an audience tree more numerous than on the previous night. In his former lecture, it will be remembered, Br. Lei. coin traced the progress of the operatic overture, from Li lt first Nuys of the Italian composers of the seventeenth century to the labours of Loll in France, who first lore to these preludes interest sad importance ; and then fel lowed the suorierive step of this progress through the dramatic works of Gluck, Mozart, Mehul, Cherubini, and Beethoven, with whose overture to Leonora, performed n an illustration, the lecture ended. Last night Mr. Lincoln, starting from this point, brought 'forward another overture of Beethoven—that whirl. he WOW for the mine opera when it was revived in 1 , q4 under its present title d Fide lio. This overture is not so grand and elaborate as its precursor, from which, too, it differs in spirit as well as in style, having reference to the brighter rather than the more gloomy features of the drama. It shows, moreover, Beethoven's emancipation from the conventional forms established by Mozart. Admirably played by Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Ries, it was exceedingly effective, and wu warmly applauded. The lecturer then proceeded to Weber, the peculiarities of whew genius he analysed with great happiness of thought and language, characterising him as the greatest of all dramatic composers inthe romantic style. One of Weber's peculiaritia, the local colouring which he introduced into his works, g r . Lincoln illustrated by means of his charming overture to Precioss. The drama being a tale of gipsy life in Spain, the overture, with its Spanish bolero and original gipsy ag e . dies, is in beautiful harmony with its subject. Webefs peculiarities were further developed in the Preischirz. In the overture to that opera he showed his wonderful skill in introducing the most striking peerages of the piece, sod fusing them into a movement of the most perfect symmetry of form. Passing on to Weber's contemporary, Spoil:, Br. Lincoln pointed out the beauties and defects of that great artist—his exquisite feeling for form and proportion, tie richness of hie orchestral colouring, entitling him to be called the Titian of Munk, and on the other band his en. thrive proneness to full and chromatic harmonics, sad certain memoriam which is apt to be fatiguizi, Mr. Linozbaßlostrated his remarks by the performance of the overture to Jessoncla, Spohr's beat opera. Turning then to the modern Italian composers, he noticed their general incapacity, from the defective nature of their studies, to prodnoe solid and masterly instrumental music— excepting, however, from this censure the greatest &moil them, Rossini, to hose genius he did ample justice. Ac in illustration he gave Rossini's gorgeous overture to Scan. amide, which was so splendidly executed that it war followed by reiterated rounds of applause, evidently Weeded to express a desire for its repetition; and, judging from our own feeling, we think the audience were disappointed that their demonstration use not so interpreted. Turning, finally, to the modern French school, Mr. Lincoln discussed at some length, and in a rap interesting manner, the marital of the present representatives of that school, Athos and Meyerbeer, giving as illustrations Amber's overtures to Mosthiello and the Cheval de Bronze, and Meyerbeer's overture to Le Pardon de Pleerwel, called in this country Disorient. With this last piece the lecture concluded. Mr. Lincoln expleined that he had not given any of the overtures at Haydn or lleadsissoka ; those of the former belonging to operas width are not now of interest, and those of the latter not being operatic. He mentioned, however, that he coo. tunplated a course of lectures in which thane great maxi. dam would dad their proper places. V. hope he will accomplish his design, for a lecture from Mr. Lincoln co A musical subject is owe to be both entertaining and in. struotive. EMIGRATION TO QUEENSLAND. An important movement a now commencing in the mist eds, set cm foot by several of the most active cle that poor lotabky, and influentially rapport:4 by of Reality for the Relief of Distress, Kingstree% Bt.

An amodation has been formed, under the title of "The Hest London Aid Association," the ob. jest of which is the emigration of the weavers of Spitellielde and Bethnelpeen, whose condition has for sonic time psi biome one of der elan &Melo The new colony of Queens. hod me selected is the most suitable Said for their new partials, whither 94 of the poorest families, repro seating 115 mem, were despatched LA autumn.

The image out has restored end inftcrated cosetitutioos weakened by privation, and the moral marry ci all has been proportionately incresesd. At a public meeting held in Spitallields on the 4th lost, most gratifying information was received as to the well. doing of all the eadgrante on their arrival. Many very interesting lettere were reed by the Rev. A. B. Suter, was tansy to the wool lion, of widish the following extracts speak for themeless :—J.

Another writes that he te as " happy am a prince,* and all are doing well, in good health and spirits. From authentic mounts there an= a to be every prospect of an increased sad for labour in Queens. land, and the graring i tt is ascertained that the class of emigrants seat out is perfectly adapted to the requirements of the colony. They (the emigrants) have been engaged im mediately on their arrival as farm labourers, stockkeepers, carpeuters, and sawyers, while their children have got Ctn. lions as domestic servant'. The introduction of the coffee trade will increase the facilities of future emigrants, but in the meanwhile there is ample field for their employment in the ordinary departments of colonial labour. It ie mistake to suppose that the weavers can only weave. Numbers of them have learnt, and are learning topple. mentary trades during the intervals (sometimes of 10 and 13 weeks' duration) when they are waiting for work. The association is adopting a wise course in aiding the emi• gration of entire famines. 200 families have applied. but the association dares not hold out hops to them, he present means being very limited. When its =mace and object are more widely known, it is anticipated that the public will interest themselves warmly in its welfare. We believe that the Rev. A. B. Suter, the energetic incumbent el All Sainte', Spitalfields, secretary to the association, is in a position to give :Pet iuteristing details, and will gladly answer any inquiries on this most important subject.— Tina.
