LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 15. ti ea of all this evidence as valid, and with only the right to the appellants to adduce evidence for themselves, differ from an " appeal I" The ori ginal objection to the character of tho evidence is waived in the one case as much as in the other, awl the claimants are placed at the same disadvan tage in the one case as het the other—a disad vantage, indeed, aggravated by the fact that their witnesses are now dispersed. Moreover, Lord STANLEY thus waives all consideration of the fact that even the evidence originally produced has been since proved, by the reports of our Consul at Cacti; and by the affidavits of the men after their liberation, to have been half extorted by threats and half procured by misunderstanding of the questions and mistranslation of the replies, while the witnesses were refused the assistance or advice of any countryman of their own, or any representative of our Government. If such falsified testimony, added to the inad missible evidence which it was coupled with, deserved the stigma of our Minister in January, and was declared so incurably unfair that an appeal could not remedy it, what are we to think of the Minister who in June, after its character has been made more thoroughly apparent, actually offers, before he is asked, that it shall all be received without objection, on condition that the further proceedings are called a now trial instead of au appeal? We cannot doubt that this unhappy blunder ing is directly traceable to tho pri mary blunder made by Lord STANLEY in as suming to himself the prerogative of judging whether the owners of the Tornado had a good case or not. Failing to recognise that this was no question for a Minister of the Crown, and mis calculating his own capacity to deal with the scraps of evidence which reached him, Lord STANLEY has committed himself to statements and doctrines which can now be upheld only by the condemnation of the vessel. He admitted, as matter worthy of being received in evidence on this head, and as sufficient to determine his own opinion, certain affidavits by a man of the name of TROTTER, giving a hearsay story about the official rank in the Chilian service of a DANIEL MAVPHERSON, alleged to bo as such agent on board the Tornado when captured, and about the conceal ment of his papers ; but the only person of that surname on board the Tornado was a JOHN MAC PHERSON, who lost no time in denying by affidavit every allegation made by TaoTTEE. And in the now papers there is an affidavit from one JENKINS, who was TaorrEa's alleged informant, stating that Tatirrea had invented the whole stlry. Then there was a despatch from our Chalon Consul, stating that the talk there was that the Tornado was purchased for the Government of Chili, but that he had no authority beyond gossip for the rumour. And we have now a despatch from the same Consul, stating that he has searched in vain through the official Gazette for any confirmation of the rumour. Finally, there were certain state ments made by Commander WIEILLor, R.N., re specting his having been offered the command of the Tornado as a Chilian cruiser. But to this as • sertion there was the objection of some evident incongruity of date and other circumstances, and of Commander WICILLor being himself under a charge of breach of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Unfortunately, however, Lord STANLEY, unable to perceive the legal doubts hanging over such testimony, even before it was formally dis proved, committed himself to accept it so far as to abstain from pressing the nudoubtedly just demands of the British owners of the Tornado to have the rules of international IT is very desirable that, even at the cost of delaying the Reform Bill for one evening, a die cuasion should take place in the House of Commons on the recent pnaoedings of the Foreign-office in the case of the Tornado. As our readers know, the matter has recently entered upon an entirely new phase, and a further issue of papers just made sug gests grave doubts respecting the propriety of the course to which Lord STANLEY is committing the country. It will be remembered that on the first condemnation of the vessel his lordship protested in firm and dignified language against the sen tence, as being essentially contrary to justice, be cause pronounced on inadmissible evidence, and without hearing the parties on the other side. Meantime, however, the parties themselves ap pealed to a superior court, on the separate ground that the inferior court had no legal jurisdiction. That appeal Iris bg....en successful, and, as we anti cipated when the news first reached this country, the Tribunal of Appeal has declared that neither the inferior court nor itself has any jurisdiction in such a matter, because they are judicial tribunals, and the law of Spain refers questions of prize exclusively to tho decision of the Executive Government. This principle was stated in a letter of the MINISTER of MARINE in February last, it was confirmed by the report of the Crown Fiscal in the case of the Alice Ward on the 18th March, and it was finally adopted by the Court in that case. Yet all this time General CALoNiiE was amusing himself with resisting Lord STANLEY'S protests on the ground that the proceedings were set a purely " judicial character," and that the Spanish Government could not interfere with the action of the courts. When, however, it became probable that the courts themselves would declare their own incompetency, Lord STANLEY had be come more Spaniard than the Spaniards them selves. He directed our Minister at Madrid to intimate that if the proceedings up to that date were declared uull, he would not object to ac quiesce in a now trial being commenced from the beginning. And now we find that so recently as the 25th ultimo he has made the offer that if they will declare the first trial null, he will assent to the whole of the evidence taken under it being used on the second trial. On the 26th, one day after the date of this despatch. the Spanish Court did pro nounce the first trial null. And we must now presume that the Spanish Government, which is declared to have the right of acting auto Teti eally, will be only too ready to close with Lord STANLEY'S offer, to allow :.11 the false and garbled statements collected in the " Sumario " of the original proceedings to be used as to data for arriving, in the mode our Foreign-office has indi cated, at a conclusive condemnation of the vessel. The• Spanish Government may well be satisfied to allow Lord STANLEY the barren triumph of his protest against the first proreedings, on the con dition which he has offered, that they shall be en tirely effective in a different way. It needs no argument added to this dry state ment of the position of affairs to prove that our Foreign-office is saving its formal credit by sub stantial sacrifice of justice. On 18th January Lord STANLEY wrote :—" The Prize-court has not " only examined the crew by a public functionary, " or rather by a court composed of public func " tionaries, but has also imported a great variety " of extrinsic evidence, if it is to be so called, " from newspapers, from diplomatic correspon " denee, public Acts of the State, the conduct of " other vessels, and carious other sources. " All this evidence has been produced behind " the backs of the claimants ; and it is to be " observed that it is wholly different in " kiwi from the evidence afforded by the ship's "papers and the depositions of the crew. On this " kind of evidence the Court has proceeded to pro " nounce a sentence of coudenination, without " notice to the claimants, and without hearing them. " Her Manovrv's Government consider that they " have ground for eompleining of these proceedingr, " followed as they have been by a sentence of con " demnation. . And the offer of an appeal does " not remove the original injustice." But in what does the offer of a new trial, subject to the recep law enforced in their behalf. Carried away by this primary error, he has since sought to support his position by withholding from publication—at least in their proper place—statements at variance with his preconceived views, and by offering con ditions to Spain contradictory to the principles he had already laid down, and to the universal principles of international law. All this time, too, he refuses to ask that compensation to the crew for their sufferings and losses to which, whatever the character of the vessel, they are be yond doubt entitled. For these things we do not desire to prejudge Lord STLNLET before he has been heard in his defence. But they are too serious not to call for parliamentary inquiry with out any further delay. THE EXPRE>S, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1867. Herahl says, spyarently did not think the honour of par liament sale in the keeping of their own leiaers, end in flicted upon the house a purposeless and foolish division which dooidad nothing. THE WEEKLY PRESS. The new redistribution scheme appears to the Spectator to be the old one extended so as to give a wester relative power to the counties. Mr. Disraeli thinks the humblest clam in the boroughs can be controlled by the wealthiest, and the boroughs, as a whole, may be controlled by the counties. The scheme is abed one. The only interest which has clearly lost greatly by the whole drift of the measure is that of the borough capitalists, the commercial wealth of the country. Household suffrage will give the control to labour, and a third member to the large boroughs with an election by single or by cumulative votes would havo secured • real representation to this important element in the country. As it ia, Mr. Dis raeli is going to squander all his means on the county interest,—already over-represented in the house. The proposal to group the University of Lon don with that of Durham is ridiculous. Why does not Mr. Disraeli group the Royal Military College at Sand hurst with the Peace Society ? Of all the Mx university members now sitting in the House of Commons not one is a liberal. The government sec mto wish, by the proposal they have now made, to stifle the unpleasant prxecst almost certain to be made by a young but great university in favour of the liberal tendency of the highest education. The Spectator does not think they will succeed. The attempt to trim the scales of opinion in the London Uni versity by incidentally throwing Durham into the tort' scale, has been, already even, ridiculed in every direction ; and it is, indeed, so unworthy a party trick that the go vernment will in all probability be compelled to withdraw the suggestion almost without discussion. For its own part the Eransiner is only too thankful to have escaped a blunder so egregious as it would have been bad the advisers of the Sovereign persuaded her Majesty that, for some inexplicable reason, or for no reason at all, it was her duty to go masquerading in mimicry of the Em peror of the French, and to put on the false and frivolous semblance of joy and pride in compliment to him or to the Czar. Not one hour sooner than she chooses would the Examiner have the Queen come amongst us ; and it treats with scorn the notion that the use of royalty, or the chief duty of the Queen of England, is to net upholsterers to work 'and mantua-makers' needles going, and to keep French cooks incessantly occu. pied in their vocation. Even to a West-end tradesman the difference must be a comparatively small one. Is there an open carriage or a thorough-bred saddle-horse the less in Rotten-row? Is there an opera box or stall the less taken? Is there • ball in Mayfair, or an epicure's dinner in Belgravia the less given? Do old pictures or old wines bring a lower price? Are the trousseaux of noble brides less costly, or the rents of private palaces less high than they were when, in straw bonnet and plain riband, with her young husband by her aide, the Queen, in the bloom of her beauty, might be seen every afternoon taking the air in her pony carriage in Hyde-park? It is positively humiliating to have to argue the matter, or to plead fo the sacredness in which sorrow should be held. The Saturday Review is not aware that any large town wishes to have a third member, or that any minority is burning to be represented. It is altogether a factitious remedy got up by speculative politicians for a factitious evil. How far the House of Commons will listen to its advocates remains to be seen, but at any rate its total re jection by the government very much simplifies the dis cussion. The most striking merit of the new scheme of redistribution is that it is marked by a total separation of plan and purpose from all devices for creating artificial re presentation of minorities. There is no attempt whatever made to conciliate those who think that, by adding a third member of a different way of thinking from his two colleagues, the representation of large towns would be im proved. This is u it should be. There are still two or three great towns in the north which ought to have mon. ben and are anxious to have them, and it is to be re gretted that their demands cannot be satisfied. If this were managed, even though the young hopes of Luton were nipped in the bud, the proposed scheme of redistri bution would be open to no serious objections. It is simple, effective, and fair, and such improvements as it may require will touch on details that may be very easily arranged. The Imperial Review must frankly state its conviction, which it believes is generally entertained, that the govern ment will act wisely in cordially acceding to Mr. Laing's proposition, to give a third member to each of the seven largest cities in the kingdom, with the necessary corollary of the cumulative vote. The Chronicle thinks it important that the isolated cha racter of Berezowski's crime should be understood, lest the event should bring undeserved odium on a cause which may yet do some service to Europe. Among the deepening cloud, of the political horizon few contain more posit bil ties of future mischief dam that general Pansgavonic propaganda which openly aims at the extension of Russian supremacy over Eastern Europe. To this movement the Poles constitute the ono exception. They break up its unity by holding aloof from it ; they discredit its sincerity by being in themselves a standing evidence that the tender mercies of Russia are cruel. They are the enemy in the Pansolavonic camp. And since the war of last year, Russia has become so important and so much courted, that in the interests of European civilisation it may be well to have such a counter influence in reserve.

The demerits of the government scheme of re distribution become more apparent to the Times the more it is examined. The disfranchisement falls with equal weight upon liberal and conservative, but the enfran chising clauses are carefully contrived to the disadvantage of the liberal element. The effect of conferring the fran chise upon all ratepayers will unquestionably be by itself to strengthen the influence of the conservative party, and to this result is added the enfranchisement of such boroughs as are open to conservative "influences," and the denuding of the disturbing liberal element in the otherwise conservative charactov of the counties. Having obtained on a moderate estimate half the nineteen borough seats, and having ventured to suggest that the Univer sity of Durham be coupled to London, Mr. Disraeli dole his best to obtain all the new county sesta also. The scheme is flagrantly ba•l. Everywhere the Times diacoverd in it contrivances which can have no other end than to ammo a fleeting addition of party strength. The House of Commons must accept the duty cast upon it, and make the second part of the Reform Bill as completely , its own as the first. The St n.dard allows that it is on the redistribution por tion of the Reform Bill that the peculiarly conservative character of the measure chiefly depends. The rule of liberalism has always been the rule of a minority, and it is high time that the balance should be readjusted. The Daily News returns to the subject of the House of Lords, apropos of • defence of his order which has just been written by " A Peer." The house is not a varied assembly, but an aggregation of country gentlemen selected somewhat at random by the accident of birth ; and while this is the case it cannot sustain a larger part than it now fills in the business of the nation. The fault found with it is that it does nr t discharge the subordinate ofilces which alone are left to it with success. The system of life peerages which Lord Palmerston un sateeessfully attempted to introduce on a small sc►le and for • particular purpose, is recommended by various con siderations. But its disadvantages would far exceed the gain to be expected from it, if it were so admiminis tered as to weaken the intellectual and moral charac ter and weight of the House of Common', by drafting any considerable proportion of the foremost men of the nation into a chamber of hereditary or nominated peers. Possibly, however, l.y he exercise of a proper dis crimination, the Upper Chamber might be strengthened for its secondary duties without weakening the lower for its graver and more responsible functions. Commenting on the revelations before the Sheffield Commission, the Times concludes that no hypothesis is more probable than that the fellows are really telling the substantial truth, from whatever reasons, and that Shef- field possesses, among its other institutions, an office, with books, lists, and subscriptions, where any fellow can upon application get gunpowder, or money to buy it, to blow op his neighbour's house or his head off his shoulders, or, at least, bury his tools or make a trifle by their appropria tion and sale. The Herald sympathises warmly with Major Anson in his attempt last night to procure the cancelling of the peti tion respecting the Fenians ; hut it is angry with some half score gentlemen on the conservative benches who in sisted upon a division.

Glais Bizoin, taking no tice of the announcement in the Muniteur that the Emperor, on account of the dearness of living, had raised the soldiers pay by 4 centimes a day between this and DecoMber 31, said that he had proposed several days ago an amendment to the budget, recommending a permanent addition of 5 cen times. M. Segris, a member of the committee, had recommended him not to press his amendment on the ground that the government was considering the question of increased pay. He, however, per sisted. The Minister of Commerce, M. Forcade IA Roquette, repudiated the notion that M. Glais Biennia amendment had any influence on the Em peror's " initiative." I quite expect, however, to see M. Olais Bizoin's amendment carried. In creased pay for the army is too much in accor dance with Napoleonic ideas to be rejected because proposed by an opposition deputy. It is very un likely that the four centimes nominally given only till the end of this year will ever be taken off. The country would not grudge the money if there were only fewer soldiers. The report on the press law will be presented to morrow. The Council of State has accepted the amendment of the committee proposing the reduc tion of the stamp duty on newspapers to lc. I M. Gressier's report on the Army Bill has been distributed to the deputies. According to the Europe, the 5,000,000 fr. which the Czar brought with him to Paris for the ex penses of his visit were all spent, and he had to. negotiate a small loan with a Greek banker before ho went away. The Czarevitch alone got through' 900,000 fr.—just the sum which the ball at the Hotel de Ville is said to have coat. The King of Prussia was far more economical. Ho only gave the Prince Royal, the conqueror of Sadowa, 30,000 fr. pocket money fur the whole period of his sojourn in Paris, and as to himself, he spent " nothing." But then the Prussian budget is in a healthy state. There has been a sensible decrease in the num ber of strangers in Paris within the last few days. A week ago there was not so much as a garret to be had in the Grand Hotel, and to-day there wore ninety beds vacant. I hear of other hotels which were overcrowded but have now plenty of room. M. Sallandrouze de Lamornaix, deputy for the Creuse, the great carpet manufacturer of Aubusson, died this morning. The Bourse is now, as usual at this time of the year, almost deserted; very little business has been done all the week. Bente fell sc. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 70fr. 35e., and 70fr. 40c. Italian remains stationary. Mobilier fell sfr. The Procureur-Imperial, report at Paris says, is about to apply to the Legislative Body for authorisation to prosecute M. Glaio-Bizoin and M. Granier de Casiagnac for having acted aa seconds in the Floquet-Latouche duel. The persons arrested for having cried " Vive la Pologne !" have been liberated. It is affirmed that the Czar asked the Emperor to spare Berezowski's life. Thirty-six advocates offered to defend him, but he chose M. Jules Fevre, who has accepted the task, in case the state of his health will allow him to act. Gatiguaui states that Gounod is now working at an opera from the sublimest passages in the " Inferno." Mr. Henderson, lessee of the Prince of Wales Theatre at Liverpool, has arranged to open the Theatre des Italiens at Paris during the present summer, for a season of four weeks, in order to give visitors to the ea hibition an idea of English theatrical performances. The performances will consist of Our American Cousin, in which Mr. Sothern will sustain "Lord Dundresry," and Mr. Burnand's burlesque of Irion. " Inquiries, I understand," writes the Paris cor respondent of the Pis!, "are being made concerning the presence of certain disreputable people, men and women, who appeared at the late balls and files. There is no avoiding such accidents se these in Paris, owing to certain facilities for obtaining invitations." To show the entire contentment of his heart the Emperor Francis Joseph, it is said, wee anxious to give Mr. Desk his portrait, with the inscription "Francis Joseph to Francis Desk." The picture was ready, but the great commoner conveyed the expression of his wish that the gift should not be offered, and the King yielded to it. M. Desk has since hail an interview with the King. The Viern44l Gazette publishes an autograph letter of the Emperor Francis Joseph. dated Buda, ordering that all objects pledged at the Mont-de-Pietii of Peath, on which not more than one florin has been lent, shall be restored to the owners without any charge. The Gardeners' Chroniele announces the return to this country from his scond trip to Nicaragua, of Dr. See- MUM, who has made a very full collection of all the plants of the Chontales gold region, and amongst them has secured some very ornamental garden plants. _ . The skeleton of a whale 95 feet long was re cently washed ashore near Melbourne, in Australia. The cost of four steam-packet communications between Australia and England, viz , one via Panama, one rid Torres Straits, and two rid Ceylon, is estimated at 400,0001. It is proposed that England should pay half of this sum ; New South Wales, Victoria, and New Zealand each one-fourth of 200,000/., Queensland one-seventh, South Australia one-twelfth, Tasmania one-fiftieth, and Western Australia about one-two-hundredth. Two hundred years ago there were 5,000,000 Indians living in what is now the territory of the United States. In 1825 this number had been reduced to less than 500,000, and at the present time there are about 350,000 only. There are at the present time about 5,000,000 Indians in Mexico, and 7,000,000 in South America. Buxsoa AYR/A.—There are now 70,000 Euro peans in Buenos Ayres. More than half of them are Italians. The rest see French, Spanish, and English. There are 28,000 Irishmen, and ten European colonies of Welsh, Swiss, and other Europeans numbering 7,500 per sons in the Argentine Republic. The first instalment of the southern emigration to Brazil is on its way. It consists of 200 emigrants—l3ll are from Texas, 25 from Georgia, 24 from Alabama, and 30 from Florida. They travel a+ in clans, under the names of Finley, Seawright, and Pylea—Panasna Star. AN AMERICAN PLNASURN Tree.—An American steamer, the Quaker City, with between 200 and .'k pas sengers on board, is expected shortly in the Mediterranean on a trip of pleasure to the different porta of interest in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and the Holy Land. Among those who have taken this means of visiting the pm-ts of the Mediterranean and the East is General W. P. Sherman, of the United States' army, who're important services during the late civil war are so appreciated by the government that a circular has been sent to the ministers and consuls abroad to inform them of General Sherman's movements, and adding that any attentions shown to him by foreign powers will be gratefully acknowledged. Major- General Banks, who represents Massachusetts in Congress, is also among the passengers. MACCERILL. —From 50 to GO tons of mackerel were caught on the Cornish coast in the week ended on Wedneday, and sold at from 12s. to 17s. fad. per six score. The season is rapidly drawing to a close, and preparations are already being made by many of the boats for the pil chard fishery. Nearly 2,500 tons of mackerel have been despatched by rail this spring from Cornwall to London and the important provincial markets. —-- - - _ PARLIAIIENT4Ry BUS / N E SS lOR THE ENSUING WEEK.
