Tame is one point connected with Mr. Lows resignation which demands the most careful in quiry. And this is one reason why the Committee promised by Lord Pant earcros should be ap pointed. Mr. CLAY will put a question to Minis ters this evening, and it is to be hoped that it will receive a satisfactory answer. It is well understood that Lord Roamer Cecil. carried his motion not so much by the speech which he addressed to members u by eertain documents which he had in his possession, and which he handed round to members on both sides of the House of Commons. Those documents consisted of the unpublished reports of certain Inspectors, which were marked with red ink, and which apparently proved that Mr. Lowe had been guilty of deliberate falsehood. It was asserted in Lord ROBERT CECIL'S resolution that the reports had been mutilated by the officials in the Council office. Mr. Lowe contradicted this statement, and declared that no passages had either been struck out by him, or even marked by him for that purpose. The only object of handing about the documents to which reference has been made was to convict Mr. Lowe of wilful inaccuracy. It is impossible to deny that Lord ROBERT CECIL showed himself more astute than ingenuous in his conduct towards the late Minister. As Lord PALIETABTON said, he ought to have inquired into the matter before making so grave a charge, and his neglect is the more unpardonable, the Pause Mr:entree added, because "he bad opportunities, which are well "known to everybody, of ascertaining the real " state of things from those who are concerned." At all events, it was the duty of Lord Roam Cacti. to have used his right of reply, and to have openly stated the character of the documentary evidence which he submitted silently to his friends and supporter+. Amongst lawyers it would be said that this young nobleman had been guilty of sharp practice ; nor is there any good reason why such conduct in Parliament should be considered less reprehensible than at the bar. Little has been gained by the Inspectors or by their parliamentary relatives. On the contrary, Mr. Lowe has suc cessfully cleared his honour—the character of his assailant for generosity has not been raised, and • state of matters has been revealed within the Council-office which demands serious attention. How did Lord Roarer Cecrt, obtain the docu ments upon which he founded his attack upon the late Vlce•Paratorxr I He professed, indeed, that he was unable to produce definite facts or even names. Nevertheless, within a very few minutes he was busily engaged in handing about the very documents which he had declared himself incapable of bringing forward, and be had even the temerity to declare that " his evidence was not " the paper which he held in his hand." Lord GasNviLLE did not mince the matter. He openly accused some of the Inspectors of betraying official confidence. He said : " 1 think " I have a right to complain if any Inspector " belonging to her Marrerv's service, and under " the superintendence of the Committee of Council "of Education, not only afforded information "to Members of Parliament for the purpose " of attacking the department, but also furnished " them with papers from the office to which be "belongs." The same charge was made against the Inspectors by Mr. Lowe, who declared that the information furnished to Lord Romer Cacti. by them could have been furnished only "is. violation of their duty sod fidelity "to the office." These are serious accusation. They amount to this—that the motion submitted to the House of Commons by Lord Romer Cum. was suggested or prompted by some person in the employment of the Government. Lord Geer, therefore, was amply justified in saying that the matter was one which required the most careful investigation. If the Inspectors or any other sub ordinates in the Privy Council have entered into • conspiracy to dethrone their chiefs, and if for that purpose they have betrayed official confidence in order to furnish the materials of attack, their conduct deserves the gravest censure. If, on the other hand, no such miscouduct can be imputed to them, or if it has been confined to one or two in dividuals, • public investigation and a public ver dict of acquittal are necessary in order to dissi pate the accusation or to place the blame at the right doors. It cannot be denied that disputes between the chief of an office and his subordinates are very rare, indeed almost unknown, in this country. The probability is that a mutual forbearance is exercised on both sides. But it is notorious that the majority of Inspectors are vehemently opposed to the Revised Code, which was introduced mainly by Mr. Lows, and that the object of many of their reports has been to disparage that system. In addition to this, it is equally notorious that Mr. Lows does not possess the art of conciliation and personal courtesy, and probably gives offence where be does not intend it. It is not to be expected that under such circumstances the busi ness of an office should be conducted with perfect smoothness, or that the releCous of such men es the Inspectors with their chief should be the mast agreeable. The truth is that there is probably no body of officials more difficult to manage than the Inspectors of schools. Macy of them are men of great ability and dis tiootion, enjoying much influence not only Ti in London society, but also in the society where their duties carrythem. Their work is of the most monotonous and tedious character. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that nine-tenths of it might be performed by men greatly inferior in ability and in social position, and, of course, at • much lower salary. The system of the Revised Code, whilst it does not add to their emoluments, produces no alleviation of their labours. Ooe of the chief duties of the chiefs in Downing-street is to keep these gentlemen up to their work, and to keep down the amount of the public grants ; and in the performance of these duties it is not surprising that some irritation and angry feeling should be generated. One thing, however, is abundantly clear. The subordinates in any public office, however eminent, cannot be allowed to dictate the policy of the chief of that office. Lord Roam Caen. does not concur with this theory. He insists that in the service of the Crown there is no loyalty dee to the Heads of Departments as against the House of Commons. He insists, therefore, that if any clerk in any of our public offices thinks he spies an abuse, he is entitled to go to any member of the House of Commons, to lay before him any paper, however confidential, which may have come into his hands bearing on the subject, and thus to organize a deliberate attack upon the chief of hie own department. The fate of a house divided against itself is proverbial ; but if every servant is to be allowed to lift up his hand against his master, the result must be anarchy. The only principle upon which the practical business of go vernment can be carried on is by • scrupulous ob servance of the principle that the Civil Servants of the Crown shall not enter into any secret or passive opposition to the course which the Government may deem it expedient to pursue. If this principle be neglected the consequences are obvious. As Lord Garr said, either the civil servants must be liable to be dismissed without any reason being assigned, or with each change of government it will become necessary to change every public ser vant, however humble. It may be said, how then are the abuses in public offices to be remedied if subordinates are to be debarred from appealing to the House of Com mons ? How, for example, could the fact of the mutilation of the reports be made known unless some Inspector had told his friend Lord Roam Czcit ? The answer is obvious. The situation of • subordinate is inconsistent with that of • censor. If any subordinate perceives a gross abuse let him represent it to his chief, or resign his office. But, indeed, this course will warmly even be necessary. If Lord Roam Cecil. had followed the example of Mr. W. Foams, the member for Bradford, ha would have escaped all criticism. That gentleman was as vigorous as Lord ROBERT against Mr. Low - z. But his charges were founded upon the absence of the report of the In spector who had inspected the school with which Mr. Foasraa was himself connected. That fact, coupled with the Inspector's character, furnished a legitimate argument that some of the reports had been improperly suppremed. But this is very different from obtaining possession of official docu ments by means of an official hand, and whilst pretending to be unable to use them publicly, using them secretly for the purpose of convicting the chief of the office from which it is brought of deliberate falsehood. Want of courtesy and rude manners are a serious drawback to any man, espe cially in official life, but treachery and disloyalty are defect, even mom serious—and it may be thought intolerable.

' A Paris letter in the Independaitee Belglissys "Rumours of a transformation of the conference into a general congress are current in Paris. France, it vats mid, intended making important propositions at 000 of the first sittings, and the supposition is that they would tend to nothing less than to demand a general disarming, which would be a step towards a European congress. We are not at present prepared to discuss those 17310111111, but we think it useful to take note of them, because we shall see them renewed more strongly in the course of the conference, and more par ticularly when any difficulties arise to impede or momentarily arrest the labours of that assembly." The Memorial Dirolontatique and the other Paris papers give the following as the basis for delibera tion which Austria, Prussia, aid the German Confederation propose to bring forward at the Conference now sitting : " Integrity of the Danish Monarchy ; " Political and administrative autonomy of the Duchies ; " Maintenance of their union in one single State (maces socialis) ; " Rendsburg to be made a German Federal for tress as a guarantee of the autonomy and indivisi bility of the Decides." THE AIISTRO-PRI79BLIN ALLIANCE. The Vienna Gazette of the 22nd says There is every appearance that the Prussian troops are now preparing to attack Fredericia. It is known that Austria and Prussia have long since come to an understanding respecting the occupation of Jutland, and that this was the object of General Manteuffel's mission to Vienna. If, therefor% General von Wrangel can dispose of a sufficient fosse to make a suocardnl attack on Fredericia and the Isle of Alma at the same time, this will be in conformity with the political arrangements of the Austro-Pruasian convention. It is, therefore, Deedless to say that those journals which speak of representations and of • note rent to Austria on this subject are entirely mistaken." ALGERIA. An Algerian journal, the Echo d'Oran, has re ceived a warning, for having " exaggerated the importance of the recent insurrection, and attri buted to it the character of a holy war." Another count in the warning is that the article is of a nature to give rise to " chimerical hopes." A Anion letter of April 22, in the Messager du Midi, of Montpellier, says that " all the nomade tribes" are iu a state of insurrection, and that the available troops in the three provinces are marching to the south to execute a convergent movement and crush the rebels. Three ships of war—the Cacique, Descartes, and Gomer—had received orders to sail from Toulon with troops in twenty-four hours. (asons's rosolUNß.) THE PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, Arm 25.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Orsom IQ{ ow* ooaarsroNDErr.) PARIS, MONDAY Evszama. An astounding paragraph in several papers, stating that the Emperor Napoleon had written an autograph letter to the King of Prussia, congratu lating him on the fall of Duppel, is varied by the France, which says that " in answer " to ',despatch from Prince Frederick Charles, the Emperor sent a telegram to the King, "expressing his sentiments on the occasion." That is a widely different thing, and more consistent with the assertion of the Me morial Diplotnatique, confirmed to a certain extent by the Patric, Nation, and other journals, and which yet does not meet with acceptance in the public mind, that a cases beUi was resolved upon between the Emperor and Lord Clarendon in the event of any power not consenting to an armistice. The Patric says to-night that the Prussian plenipotentiary in London pro posed to make in the conference to be held this day certain "declarations," after which be would retire, "leaving the other plenipotentiaries to examine what would be equivalent to an ultimatum on the part of the cabinet of Berlin." This reads very serious and tends to confirm the capital joke that the Prussian Polignac, K. de Biunark, really seta up to be the great man of the age. It is remark , able, however, that Prussian insolence, however reiterated, does not succeed in making any great sensation here. The France says, on the above subject : Several journals have asseanced that the two western powers were resolved sot only to propose so armistiee, has to impose sod to maks war themselves is case of mod. Such ea imiertios refute' itself.

There was, after all, a small Shakespeare cele bration on Saturday. The German society called the Dcutacher Turarcrein had a theatrical perform ance in the little theatre of the Passage de l'Open, and some members of Lord Gray of Gray's defunct committee dined together, and spoke of the traits that "were to have been given." M. Jules Janis, in the Deists, slyly says that the interdiction of the Shakespeare banquet was the best thing that could have happened to it ; and he likens the catastrophe to that of Caleb, the cook, in one of Walter Scott'. novels, who, having in fact • very miserable dinner for his master, availed himself of thy accident of some soot falling down the kitchen chimney to swear that a sumptuous repeat of three courses bad been spoiled.

At Reading, yesterday, large numbers of people were assembled on the platform ; but as the train was going at great speed, faint echoes simply of their sheering could be heard. The reception at Swhidon is than described in a second edition of the North Wilis Herald :—" Shortly after sine o'clock the inhabitants ci this cad the neighboariag towns began to assemble on the platform ; and at eleven o'clock upwards of 2,500 people bad assembled. Mr. Holmes, the indefatigable superintendent of the Great Western Railway at Briticism, had requested the assistance of a committee. wesisting of Mews. G. T. Dicks, B. L. White, and J. T. Burger, to decorate the station and wit in the general arrangements. At daybreak thin morshaa the committee commenced operations, and by the time the crowd assembled had decorated the station with figs, banners, streamers, and drapery. At ll o'clock the taw in the factory were rung out, and with their friends swelled the number present to upwards of 4,000. When the express train approached the station a salute of detonating signals was ired by the train, and heralded his approach. 0a reaching the station, Mr. Holub's, who wee ably assisted by Reynolds, the station master, Mr. Superintendent Haynes, of the Wiltshire Constabulary, Mr. Inspector Hawkins, of the Gust Western Railway, and the committee, bad arranged that the saloon carriage in which the General and suite were travelling should stop as war the refreshment-room es possible. When the train 'topped loud bursa rent the air, aid at the request of the committee the General alighted and pteeseded to the re freshment-room. When he reached the entranos, the Rev. Mr. Campbell, the incumbent of St. Mark's, held up a youthful daughter of Mr. Doeskin's, of the Queen's Hotel, who presented Garibaldi with a beautiful bouquet, culled from the conservatoey of the Goddard Arms, Old Swindon. The General Wand the sweet little child. Whilst partak ing of a alight refreshment, the usual had taste of an English crowd evinced itself, by parties taking up pod. Yee behind his chair, and interrupting hen whilst eating. Whoa the bell rang for the train to start, the General, weeded by the committee. Mr. W. F. Gooch, of the Great Western Railway, and Mr. Superintendent Haynes, of the constabulary, went towards his carriagi, eiteated at the further sod of the platform. The crush wee tremsedows. Notwithstanding the exertions ci the coup mitten, there was the greatest difliouity in reaching the wrier. The cheering was most enthusiastic. The work ing ass crashing forward to shake hands. When the crush was at its height a girl wady fainted, whim Garibaldi pat forward his arm to save her, and gave her a Ids'. He re peatedly inpremed his %sake and ackeowledgmeats, and after a stay of warty twenty minutes the train moved forward amid the cheer' of the assembled multitude.* At Chippenbeen the enthusiasm wee equally geenine, but more temperate. As the stoic mitered the Maim a salute of 15 guns wee fired by the workmen of the Railway Works. At Bath the crowd was large. Fog signals exploded, flags were flying and church bells were ramie& and a holiday aspect met the gate at scary point.
