The noble lord went somewhat out of his way to refer to suletun binding engagement which Great Britain took six years ago towards the other great European Powers, with Sardinia and Turkey, and to say that when the time came for fulfilling the obligations we then assumed, we should disregard them. In justice to bis lordship we must admit that lie was impartial, and gave to France as little credit for good faith ae he was in. tuned to claim for his own countrymen. The more the noble Earl. woe& my reflected on the more ex- traordinary they appear. It might have been expected that a statism= wbo in the spring of the year 1859 bed so impressively admonished France and Italy on the duty of observing treaties, would not now be heard speaking with levity of a solemn diplomatic act bearing the signature of her MAJDCIYA Plenipotentiary ; it is not un reasonable to suppose that one who had been Foreign Secretary of England would be proudly conscious of the proverbial good faith which is inseparable from the reputation of England. These considerations, however, did not hinder the Earl of 31,twirssuar from saying that in his opinion "if a great war should take place, the " Declaration of Paris would cease to be re- " garded. " Considering that the engagement in question wu made for the case of war, being in fact the promulgation of slaw of war, and having no applicability in time of peace, the noble Earl's statement la in effect that it was a promise made to be broken.

The Nord of to-day says : We have not ex igger;ted the step which Austria and its satellites have taken at Berlin. The Viennese journals ilternselyce, though wrongfully attributing to K. vas Bernstorff the origin of the quarrel which was raised by the illudrised project of the Saxon minister, Von Beast, see in it the prelude of an agitation which will engage the press and public opinion of Germany, and which, like the late inundations, may shake to the foundation the already tottering edifice of the Confederation. to theflovtenor of Card& The Declaration of Paris was fourfold. It was a renunciation of the right to grant letters of marque ; and it laid down the rules—that the neu tral flag covers the enemy's goods—that neutral goods under the enemy's flag are not liable to capture, and—that blockades in order to be bind ing must be effective. Lord MALYZIIIII:RY did not give any reason for the sinister prediction that the engagement which the Powers took to each other to observe these principles would bo treated as waste paper. He did not refer to anything which bad happened since 1856 to show that the disposi tion of the Powers had changed, or that the ob servance of their mutual promises bad become more difficult. There is nothing in the stipulations theniselves which warrants Lord MALMLABCRY in casting doubts on the probability of their due and faithful execution. They are so many reforms for which the world was thoroughly prepared, and which the reason and morality of the age called for. They rest, however, like other international obligations, on the moral integrity as well as on the prudenoe of the States which have accepted them, and it might have been hoped that Lord Matersarav would have remembered that fact before be made a speech the direct ten dency of which was to subvert the only autho rity they possess. If our neighbours hear from an English statesman of Lord MALNIESBMINIS rank that we neither expect to we them observed by France, nor hope to be able to observe them our selves, tho effect of such • declaration may be imagined. The noble lord did not impute actual insincerity to the negotiators of the Treaty al Paris; ho professed to see in the forte of circumstances the cause which would render their work vain and futile. But since those circumstances were as plain to the ne Aistors as they were to Lord Matatas ui the distinction has no practical value. So far from renouncing the Declaration of Paris, with the obli4ations which derive from it, her MAJESTY'S I :overnmetit has recently been in correspondence with the United States of America respecting their adhesion to it. The correspondence was broken oti because Earl Rtissatz. would not allow that Go vernment to oonclude a Cotivention which would have bound its revolted States. Suppose that, instead, it had been broken off with the declaration that, on mature reflection, the Government of the United States had convinced itself that, in Lord Mat.xut eiaa.'+ " in case of war, the Declaration of " facia would cease to be regarded." We can imagine that Lord !tla tut:set - KY wont.' have been the first to cry for vengeance on those who had so deeply injured us as to call our ancient goal faith and honour in question. limited by Earl GRANVILLE to consider whether he had not been carried in the heat of debate be yond the limits of his exact meaning, Lord AOlE3{- 51 RV repeated his dangerous prediction, with only this explanation, that ho was contemplating the case of a great country like Franco or England driven to th; last extremity after a desperate war, and struggling for very existence. But this is wretched levity. We all know that there are some objects beyond the power of law to control. Lord Mxxxxsaver has perpetrated, without any con ceivable motive—unless we consent to believe that this was his way of denoting his disapprobation of Lord C nox's work— the very blunder which Mr. SEWARD committed when he wrote to Lord LYONII of Messrs. SUDILL and Mame( that, " if the safety of this Union re " q uirod the detention of the captured persons it " would be the right and duty of this Union to " detain them"—is proposition not the less reply henaihle in its obtrusive and wanton expression be cans. it is fundamentally true, one which Mr. Mil& has endorsed " as no other than that professed and " acted on by all governments," and the prin. ciplu of which COLIRIDGE from his opposite standing point has sanctioned as a part of national morality.

THE HARTLEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT. On the 28th ult. the following circular was ad dressed to the inspectors of mil mines " Whitebait, Jan. 28,1882. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to request that you will at your earliest convenience tree nit to him a return, so far as relates to your district. showing -Ist, the number of accidents, distinguishing fatal and DOD fatal, arising from the falling in of shafts, or obstruction of the mine, during each of the last three years ; 2nd, the amber of collieries or iron-stone mines having single shafts, and the number having double shafts ; led, the possibility of effecting communications under ground between adjacent works belonging to the same or different proprietors, so as to obtain the advantage of their respective shaft. ; 4th, the practicability of having double shafts in every instance, and the probable oat thereof. —I am, &c., (Signed) " G. Cove." The following were the instructions issued by the Horne Secretary to the mining engineer who was deputed to attend the inquest at Bartley " Whitehall, Jan. 31, 1862. "Sir,-1 am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to inform you that he has learnt with much satidection that you will be able to undertake the duty of attending the coroner's inquest, obe held at Hartley, in the county of Northumberland, on Monday next, the 3rd February, for inquiring into the deaths which occurred in the pit at Hartley Milieu, in consequence of the recent lamentable amident at that place. Sir George Grey trusta that your presence on this occasion will be satisfactory to the coroner and jury, as well as to the many persons immediately interested, and to the public at large. I enclose for your information a copy of a letter which has been addressed so the coroner on the subject of your attendance at the inquest, and also an extract of • letter addressed, by Sir George Grey's direction, on the 24th instant, so Mr. Dunn, the inspector of the dierist. Mr. Dunn will, of course, be present at the inquest in his official capacity; but be has been informed by Sir George Grey that there is • general desire that some person, free been any load Influence, should also be appointed to attend it, and you may rely on his cordial co-operation with you in the performance of the duty entrusted to you. Your great preclical experience will enable you to afford valuable mistime in this nein*. You will carefully watch the evidence which will be submitted to the jury, and you will doubtless receive from the coroner every facility in putting such questions to the witnesses as appear to you to be important, and in suggesting, if necessary, any additional evidence, in order to make the inquiry in all respect. thorough and complete. That the inquiry should be a searching one, is not only due to the feelings of the large body of persons imme diately affected by this melancholy event, and to the universal sympathy with them which has been so strongly evinced, but it is demanded by the still higher con sideration of the duty of ascertaining what precautions can and ought to he taken in order to guard as far is possible against the recurrence of such a lamentable loss of life. The inquiry into the immediate mule of the accident, the safety of the use of heavy cast-iron beams, will obviously demand consideration ; but the most melancholy feature be the present case is the failure of the unremitting efforts made, with the greatest courage and penmen ance, under circumstances of much difficulty and dan ger, to save the lives of any of the large number of venom shut into the pit by the closing of the shaft. In inquiring into the causes of this failure, there are two point. to which the attention of the jury will no doubt be specially directed. One is the condition of the shaft at the time when the accident happened. with reference to the rule required by the 10th section of the act 22 aid 23 Ariel., 0.151, to be observed for securely casing, or making secure, working pita or shafts. The other, and the most important, is the means of communication between the working parte of the pit and the surface, involving the question ' of the practicability of enforcing • general regu lation that communication with the surface should be provided by more than • single - shaft. While Sir George Grey has thought it right briefly to advert to these leading subjects of inquiry, he feels that he may confidently rely on your 'eminence, judgment, and discretion, acting as you will, under a stone of the deep interests attaching to this inquiry for an efficient perform ance of the duty which you have commuted to undertake. Ou the conclusion of the inquiry Sir George Grey will be glad to receive from you a report cif your proceedings, with such suggestions as shall appear to you calculated to pro mote the great object of providing additional security to the valuable lives of the large body of persons employed in collieries and mines.-1 am, Arc.

The charge against him is that in the year DM he WAS 'damned in coarse and insulting language by Colonel Diatom', late of the Swiss Legion, and that he took no steps, or now sufficient, to vindicate his honour. The defence of the primmer appear', from the coulee of his examination, to be that Colonel Dickson sheltered himself under the plea of a " legal impediment," that he afterwards refused to me Captain Robertson's friends or to appear before a court of inquiry.

The Turin correspondent of the Osserralore Rosomw gives some terrible warnings to the Italian revolutionists and enemies of the Pope's temporal power. One of the former triumvin of the Roman repubbe, Aurelio SeLindh (be says), hie just died at Turin, before the priest whom he celled had time to °one to his bedside. Another enemy of the temporal power, Signor Farini, has been struck with a slow and terrible awes, which leaves him no repose day or night. Signor Faint, who considered himseU so happy—who amused such a fortune—reposita in anaispl✓rimwr—lost his son-in-law at Naples, and maw the marriage feast converted into funeral mourning. Then, 'track himself by jaundice, he retired to Portici to recover his health, which has not returned, and now he his in an almost hopeless condition. Not being able to find at present more than these two examples of the Divine vengeance, the writer goes back awl points out as examples to the wicked : filooardi, undermined by a mysterioas disease which brought him to the tomb ; Comoro, the reporter of the law for the expulsion of the Jesuits, struck down by apoplexy ; Biaachi4ovini overooine by • sudden line. ; Sidra, who died instantaneously ; Omar, Ravine, Anil% (Roberti, sod • bnodred others.

If you do not repent, may God count your stops in the path of evil, and not forget one of them ; may He accumulate upon you the load and the infection of the sins which you cause to be committed, and of those which you may have remitted !

May the holy ointment burn you ; may it burn your hands held out for the gifts of the impious ; may it burn your forehead round which the light of the Gospel was to barn beamed—that forehead which has conceived felon thought. May your stained robe become a robe of bre, and may God ream you • single tear to temper its ardour ; and may your stole be to your neck as tho milletoue to the seek of Ba bylon hung into the pool of sulphur !

A deputation from the Central Committee of fichoolinalters waited yesterday upon Earl Granville at tho Council.*Moe, for the purpose of passel:Wag to his lordship a memorial from the body of schoolmasters, in opposition to the proposed withdrawment of the augmentation gnat to certificated teachers. Having heard the statements of the deputation, Earl Granville said it was impossible for himself or his right hon. friend Mr. Lows to enter on that occasion fully into the subject. A statement would be made on Thursday (this day) in parliament in connexion with the revised code, and it would not be fair for him to anticipate what would then be said. He could imagine the managers of • school holding out to • teacher the prospect of an inert:SOO in his stipend over and above the augmentation pant, in the event of his bettering the school. He could not, of course, deny that teachers would in the filet instance have • grievance by the withdrawal of the grant ; bat the question was, whether the manages' not be obliged to raise the salaries in order to meet the case.—Mr. Bales said that in poor districts this would be impossible.—Mr. Lows said, 'oppose parliament deemed it expedient for the public interest to withdraw the grant, what would they suggest as the proper compensation to the teachers'.— Mr. Crampton and other members of the d ep utation thought that the question of compensation would be at. tended with great dlfficulties.—Mr. Lowe thought that it would not be wise for teachers to demand what lawyers would term a specific performance. It was constantly as. earring that private interests had to be sacrificed by ;radii". meat for the public good, and then it was • fair question whether those interests should be oompeneat•L—The depu. lotion appeared to be taken somewhat aback by this Magistios. Several members intimated that it would be for the government to make • proposition, but it seemed to be the general feeling that while the question of compensation was one which might fairly be considered, it was the wish of the school-teachers to put the uses upon its public merits rather then treat it as a mere idion of private loss. The sehoolniasters wished to have the pant remain as it was, liable to all the conditions for obtaining it that were now in fonsx—Mr. Langton, 8.A., said he felt convinced that compsionatioa could not be ex. from the managers of schools in the poorer districts. pasted the remit of the withdrawal of the augmentation grant would be very disastrous.—ln mime localities, it was urged, there would be the want of power, and in others the want of inclination.—The deputation thanked his lordship and withdrew. THE DUKE OP CAMBRIDGE AND THE WOOLWICH ACADEMY. The re-assembling of the classes of gentleman cadete at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, took ezala esterday morning, on the termination of the pros Christmas vacation.

His royal highness, after inspiring the panda, proceeded to one of the class. where the cadets had been drawn up to hear tan ad dries from the duke. He informed the cadets that, by reason of the late bereavement he wee unable to be present at the close of the last half-year's studies, or to preside at the distribution of prizes, but no sooner had they re-aseembled than he came among them. Alluding to Major General Sandham, then present, he said that he had the highest opinion of his "capabilities and judgment in matters connected with mili tary education, and, after refiring to various drum stances connected with the prooeerthigs of the Let six months, he told them that an impression had got abroad that, not having personally censured their conduct in the late disturbances, it was presumed that he did not look upon their offence as of any grievous import. He would now disabuse their minds of that impression.

The general mode of punishment for in subordination and serious misconduct would in future die, not the " black-hole," the designation of which implied a punishment of great severity, but which in reality was sot so • it would be a " rustication" for a term correspond ing to the nature of the crime. This would entail a loss of reps in the regiment to which they might be appointed, and would any with it a permanent degree.

He imperiled upon them the rigid necessity of observing the rules of discipline, which should form one of the component parts of their every day studies. The cadets were again marched on parade, and pro ceeded to St. George s Hall for diuner at 1 o'clock. His royal highness soon after entered the dining-hall, sad tested the quality of the provisions, which he pro rowed excellent. The duke and party then proceeded on foot towards the Lower Academy, in the New-road, visiting first the auxiliary infirmary, recently erected in Mill-lane. Having inspected the Lower Academy and Horse Artillery stables, his royal highness drove off for London at 3 o'clock. PAWS, WIDNISDAY Emma. In the Corps Legislatif to-day, M.
