Wc have now the detailed news brought from the United States by the Europa. The extracts given in our general summary of intelligence may be relied on rei faithfully exhibiting both the inten sity of the public excitement and the prevalence of the conviction, so general as to be almost univer sal, that any sacrifice must be made to preserve I peace with England. But together with this highly interesting and 1 valuable information are nungled statements founded on half-knowledge, or born of the necessity of satisfying the public thirst for news, which, iiiisrepreeeuting the proceedings of Lord 1.1 . 41XA and the probable course of diplomacy. are calculated to confuse, if not mis lead. A very few words will suffice to prevent mis conception, The New York papers speak of a settlement of the matter by an apology in the form of an assurance that the seizure of the Con federate Commissioners was not authorised by the Government of the United States. Such an assur- I ante, however, was given more than a fortnight ' ago, and although there was every reason in fact and policy for accepting it, alone it was, of course, insufficient. The turning point of the whole difficulty wall the restoration of Messrs. SLIDELL and Mason to the protection of the tag from under which they had been illegally taken. This reparation not having been conceded to the informal representations of our Ambaeuidor, a categorical requisition was presented, and a time was fixed by Lord LYONS for the delivery of • reply. The magnitude of the interests depending on the DELDI of this controversy, and the conse quent urgency of a settlement, hes given unusual importance to dates. The public will therefore learn with interest that Lord Lroxii, after com municating Earl KVESELL'E despatch, aligned the 30th of December as the day until which he would wait for an answer. a satisfactory reply not be received by that date, our Minister would immediately withdraw with the Legation. Up to the morning of the 26tb, to which date intelligence from Lord LYONS has been received, no answer had been returned by the American Government. On the previous day. however, M. Mrav•ue, the French Minister at Washington, crimmunicated to Mr. Szvraan the note of M. THouvanst, which has been already published. The intelligence now received thus brings us within five daysof •crisis. The steamer Jura, which was to leave Portland on the 28th, is due at Londonderry to-day, and it is perhaps just physically possible that she may bring decisive news obtained at Cape Race ; but every probability is against such an arrival. The steamer Americs, which was to leave New York on New Year's day, and is duo at Queenstown on Monday next, the 13th, will certainly inform us either that Lord Leos, has left Washington, or that Yews. Massa and SLIDELL are given up. The general intelligens* by the imps presents to us the picture of an extremely susceptible people in • state of high excitement. 'There is no room now for the distinction between the nation and the mob. Men of various classes and different stages of culture and experience are of course variously affected by it, but all are amazed and most are indignant. There is nothing in our just demands of satisfaction for the honour of our insulted flag that can explain this, nothing in their matter or the manner in which they have been preferred. But the real character of the proceedings of our Govern ment has been obscured and perverted. Not by their press, we are bound to say, but by a portion of ours, and that portion which loves to vaunt itself on its superiority to the preen of the Re public. The American people, se we see them at this moment, are under the maddening influence of all the wilful misrepreaeutations, all the malevolent aasumptions, and all the vulgar taunts which some of our newspapers think they can employ, and yet preserve their title to be supercilious about the " mob." It would be childish to look closely into the language which a people bolds whim it is almost delirious with vexation. The Americans cannot just now do jistice to our procedure. They are not calm enough to redact that if the English people were as selfish and sordid as some of their journals, our national policy would have been very different from that of which the whole world is • witness. But we may learn how the relations of free nations are poisoned, perhaps for ages, when, as in this case, every art has been employed to make a just demand assume the appearance of a brutal aggro. Mon. Those wbo have been busy at this kind of work, as they read the Europa's mail may rub their hands with fiendish glee. If they do not gain their immediate end, if the present occasion of war is avoided—as the determination of the American public seems to make certain—it will be owing to the fact, confounding as it is to the calumniators of popular institutions, that the United States never had a goverment so independent of the mob, because so strongly sup ported by the citizens, ea it has at present, and because even at the height of an unexampled ex citement the nation preserves it. power of self restraint. All the voices which reach us from .liuerica exclaim that every sacrifice must and will be made for puma. Last night the Rev. C. H.

W. have received news of the safe arrival at Quebec of the troops which embarked in the Persia, and at Halifax of those which embarked in the Australasian. The Australasian took oat from Liverpool the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, numbering 40 officers and 833 non-com missioned officers and rank and file, including an hospital corps of 29 men. She had also on board wen officers and 254 men of the Royal Artillery, together with a battery of six Armstrong guns, with their whole train, consisting of 16 carriages. The Australasian also carried out 6,000 stand of arms, in addition to those borne by the troops, toge ther with 400,000 rounds of ball cartridge. The Rifle battalion went out under command of Lord Alex ander Russell, brother of Earl Russell, and among the officers of the corps were Major the Hon. J. Stuart, whose brother is already with Lord Lyons at Washington, as one of his attach& ; Captain Lord A. Clinton, brother of the Duke of Newcastle ; Lieutenant Lord Edward Cavendish, son of the Duke of Devonshire ; Lieutenant the Hon. F. Somerville, Lieutenant the Hon. A. Pennington, and Ensign Lord Albert Cecil. The Persia embarked the let battalion of the 16th Regiment of Foot, from Sheffield and Weedon, and a detach ment consisting of 4 officers and 118 men of the Royal Engineers, under the command of Cap tain Maguey. The 16th consisted of 36 officers and 823 men, besides an hospital corps of 45 men belonging to the battalion, under command of Colonel Peacock. Besides those above enumerated there were also 70 men of the Commissariat Staff Corps. General Russell, with two aides-de-camp, was also on board, together with the Deputy- Assistant-Commissary-General Fasting, and Mr. Thorn, of the Military Store Staff. . _ The Australasian encountered a severe snow storm on the 23rd and 24th, near Anticosti, and it was, in consequence, considered prudent to put back to Halifax, where she arrived on the 26th. It was not known whether the Australasian would land her troops at Halifax or proceed again to Mo. Lord Lyons had not received, up to the morning cl the 26th, any answer to his communication of Load Russell's despatch. Re would wait for the answer till the 30th, and then withdraw with the Legation. The French Minister, K Mercier, had commu nicated to Mr. Seward, on the 25th, M.

(nom ova ow' PARIS, TtMADAT NYINI3IO._ Great uncertainty has prevailed to-day about the tenor of the latest American news. ♦ variety of improbable statements, evidently conjectural, are made by newspapers pretending to have private sources of information. One journal says that Mr. Seward has offered to surrender MM. Slidell and Mason on condition that England will promise not to recognise the Southern States. It is perfectly certain that Lord Lyons' instructions would not permit him to entertain each a proposal. The tacking of a heterogeneous condition of that kind would be tantamount to a refusal. Again, it is said that the prisoners are to be surrendered if England will receive them, not as commissioners of a belligerent power, but as rebels ; and much reasoning, which appears to me very idle, is lavished upon this assumed distinction. I cannot think that the negotiations will have turned upon the point at all. Lord Lyons will probably not have thought it necessary to style them either one or the other, and he will no doubt allow Mr. Seward to call them whatever he likes so long as he gives them up. The Pays to-night asserts, as the "very latest" news, that a "private despatch from Queenstown announces that the prisoners will be given up." It is un likely that this news can be more than inferential. Any positive intelligence to that effect must have been known in London this morning. The Bourse was very dull during the greater part of the day, but in the afternoon there was suddenly great animation on the strength of a rumour that there was good American news. The Rents, after having been at 67fr. 65c., sprung up to 67fr. 900., closing at 67fr. 704. for cash, and 67fr. 90e. for account. In Mobilier and the Italian loan there was ultimately no change ; but railways were a trifle higher. M. About's new play, Gaetano, has disappeared from the Odeon playbills. Last night, the fourth representation, the row was so great that the ma nager let the curtain fall before the third act was over, and cleared the theatre. A curious ntanifes- Wien then Wok plooo. A crowd of students sur rounded the stage door, and cheered the heroine of the piece, Mdlle. Thuillier, as she came out, to show that their opposition was in no way personal to her. They then formed a procession to the num ber of two or three hundred, and marched soma the Pont Neuf by the Palais Royal, and through the Place de la Bourse to M. About's residence in the Passage Saulnier, where they gave him a ehar eari—a word which may be rendered in English as "rough music." What can be the reason for this extraordinary animosity to IL About on the part of the youth of the colleges is not sufficiently ex plained. It cannot be the demerits of his play, for they would not hear it. Moreover, competent critics speak of the play as remarkably original and more than commonly good, and, judging from an outline of the plot, I incline to agree with their opinion. The priests are supposed to be at the bottom of the manifestation, brit it is difficult to see on what pretext they can have raised the students against About. The general tendency of his writings is certainly liberal, and although he supports the empire, he has often criticised acts of government with an ability and a courage unsurpassed by any journalist in recent times. Nevertheless, a pre judice exists against him, because he has left the Opinion Nationale for the Constitutionnet, and be cause he is supposed to be an agent of Prince Napoleon. Among the cries uttered at the Odeon were "A has le vondu !" meaning M. About, and "A bas leventru !" directed towards the box in which the Prince was sitting. M. About, by his personal interference, got fifteen students released who were melted on the opening night of Gaetano, but I hear that a good many more are now in durance vile on account of last evening's manifestation. The decree in the Moniker is so obscurely worded that some people have fancied that the President of the Senate was to interfere with the address of the Corps Legislatif—a thing manifestly impossible. The only effect of the decree is that two members, instead of one, from each bureau of the Senate are in future to form a committee, with the president, to draw up the address. I believe the reason for the change is temp. Troplong'kultra-conservatism is thought to require the corrective of a large num ber of coadjutors. According to the Moniteur de la Cdte d'Or Mr. Gladstone has at length given way on a long dis puted point on the wine tariff The alcoholic scale so much objected to, and which undoubtedly paralysed to a very serious extent the benefits of the commercial treaty, is to be replaced by a uniform duty of 27fr. 51c. the hectolitre (the mini mum figure mentioned in the treaty) for all wines below a certain degree of strength. What that degree shall be is not yet settled, but a confident expectation is entertained that it will be such as to permit the exportation of those wines of moderato strength which are the staple product of the wine growing districts, and for which it is most desirable to find a large market.

The fire had evidently been burning some time be fore is was discovered, and had confined itself to the lower part of the interior of the vessel, which was completely destroyed from the stern to the hold. It that broke out of the cabin hatch, and through the deck. and the greatest fears were entertained for the ships and craft aground in the immediate vicinity of the fire, and great excitement prevail o ed on account of a poor lad who wasknown to be on asleep in his bed in the very part of the vessel that the flamer were now reaching. After some &fe alty in attempting to reach him, he was reented from death in a state of exhaustion, being suffocated by the make. Had he retrained a few minutes longer he would have perished. It is not known how the the occurred, but • sairchiog inquiry is to be made, SS certain circumstances lead to the supposition that the fire has been the work of an incendiary. Had it broken out at the heed of the venial, the damage or destruction of other property would have been inevitable, and that to a large extent, sa the Mad world have caused the llama from the burning ship to cosaniunkate with other venal.

UPPINGHAM GRAMMAR SCHOOL. (From the liortitanipton Mercury.) A oorrespondence, relative to the flogging of two has been published by George Jackson, req., of pupils 'Manor House, Little Marlow. It appear that the two sone of Mr. Jackson went on a visit to their c ; mother at Evesham, in Womesterahire, during the holidays, and were to have returned on the 4th of April, .which they did, by the last train. The head master of the school, the Rev. E. Thring, had ordered that all the Issys should arrive before the last train ; but, according to the statement of Mr. Jackson and his sons, they was unable to do so, as there was no train from Evesham which would enable the youths to . get to Uppinghani earlier than by the last train from Rugby. The youths stated their diMculty, but the head master mid the rules of the school must be observed, and, as it was necessary to make an example, they must submit to • flogging. The lade, respectively in their 18th and 19th years, submitted to the puniabmeat, and they afterwards wrote to their father to acquaint him with what had taken place. Mr. Jackson then complained to Mr. ?bring of the coons he had objecting to the flogging of boys of the age of = ad o: s, and pointing out its injustice, the youths having been unable to return earlier. The Lead-master replied that the pupils had committed an infraction of the rules, that they knew the penalty, and that May ought to have submitted without complaining to their father adding that they would have had leave to return by the last train if they had asked for it. To this Mr. Jackson pointed oat that the youths did not know until they le ft Evesham that they could not get home by any other than the last train ; and in a subsequent communication he asked for an saw ranee that the bwfs should "not again be punished beyond what everyose, interested in them or not—their own friends or the publio—would admit to be right." Mr. Thrw, in reply, again just ifie d the course he bad taken, and said that the two most experienced masters at Uppingbam fully ocacurred in his treatment of the case. Some lengthy letters followed on each side, and Mr. Jackson intimated to Mr. Thring that unless he could ad mit • difference between an inconsiderate act and a delibe rate one, sod make • distinction in the punishment of such different offences, he must remove his sons from Upping butt, and call the Mutating& of the governors to the cam. Mr. Thriaie reply to this was : There was a printed rule on the subject [al the boy's Muria there was a verbal command on the subject. I consider thaw two fade justify me in oallbg the offence [of returning by the last train] deliberate. The amber of culprits rendered ea maniple oseessery. You can now take your own muse." Upon this Mr. Jackson removed his sons from the salmi PATAL PALL PROM THE OLIPP AT MARGATE. M4P.RATK . JAN. 7. This afternoon an inquiry was held in the Town Hall. Margate, before Mr. W. H.

Th e lint WHIM/ milled was, Mr. Frederick Askew Bickner:a—l am rector of Cranwich with Gidlington, in Norfolk. I knew the late Mr. Wind ham. I also looew the Barinp. Mr. Baring, of Cromer Hall, was • brother cc the late Mr. Windhun. Ia 1817 I went to dinner at Fell:egg with Mr. Baring. In 1848 Mr. Windham applied to Ma to take his eon as pupil. I had at that time two of Mr. Bariog's sone as pupils. I was then living at Baton, near Norwich, and I took pupils to prepare them for Eton or the =leased/a. Previous to taking /Meter Windham I went over with Mrs. Itickmore to Pellairtg, and I then had conversation both with Mr. Windham and Lady Sophia about the boy, and the boy himself. I fully understood that he was to come to me to be pree s for Etom Hemmed from Mr. Windham aced lady Sophia ohmic= of the boy, and I judged for well lrota seeing him. He came to me in Sept., 1345, when he was eight years old. He stayed with me MI Elleihnes, 1850, marine two mem and • half. Coming at gem* an age, Mrs. Ihekmore misted me in instructing lise. The younger children were instructed by her. His dudes were the same SS those of other children. He wee sertaicly cot studious, but there was not the effelliesh riMaulty, except Claimant of application. When be emu ie we he could read and write sad do some aril. matis, sad I think he had made a commencement in Latin. Be was called "GM," a pet name, and as hardly ever erof except under the name of " Gla." 1 prepared n the weal way for Eton. He did Greek and Latin. From my observation of him I should my there we se mental incapacity whatever. He was rude and lisiefeesmi, sad not very tidy in his dress, and required Win deer. Sir John Boileau lived near me. I bad had his sons and he has always been kind to me, sad my b oys were in the habit of going there. "Tom' and " Mire " were two of the names by which Mr. Baring's sons at my school were known. I observed from the first a peer. Verity about themouth of young Mr. Windham, sad measures were taken to remedy it Daring one vacatioe he was taken to • dentist and en ivory plate was inserted in his mouth, whisk he wore for some tune. Previous to that I bad noticed OM saliva came from his mouth. The plate inconvenienced Yes flea a time. He left at Christmas, 1850, at my :mum. Mem I suggested it because them was • change in my pm& at the time ; older boys were going away, sad mew mess were coming, and I thought it not well for seem him or them that he should ham the companionship d hips so much younger than himself. The letter produced I awald my is in Mr. Windham's writing. _Me lam was read, and wan as follows :—" My dear Ifeme„—l am very much pleased with what Pa has 0111 M ma, and I hope he will receive a small present la lawn for his great maw As I have told him, lam so timeidul to him that I really can't express myself for his Mein= to me.

The preseat to the father was a valentine, with the following lines : " Aceept this token of my love, And let your heart incline To chase away all doubt and fear, And be my valentine." Cromexamined—The other boys that were coming might be Bor9, or perhaps 10. Young Windham was then 10j, sad I thought It better for himself that be should be with bigger boys. The saliva used to come from his month, and I =immured to cure him of that habit, but be still had it Mira he left me. I usually kept the boys till 13 or 14. By • Jurce—l did not dismiss Master Windham. I wrote to his father, and the boy remained at the school for Ma moils afterwards. yes Jim not given us the rams why you were desirous be should leave. The raft I assigned to his father was that it Was better he should be with elder boys, but a reason ' with myself was that he made use of violent language and =itl am bound to my I never heard hire swear, and It better that the new pupils should not hem each bad language. He was treated the same as the others, but punished perhaps rather more One the others. Remember, he was a spoiled child, and on =mount required to be treated with greater manna. the time he was with me there was nothing un eletely in the room. Irma Berkzeore, examined by Mr. Millward —I went with Mr. Mauna to Felbrigg, to fetch Master Windham. The younger children were placed under me. They first read • portion of the Scriptures, and then did arithmetic and a little geography. They were the rudiments. He did lie Masons as wall as other boys. I heard Mr. Bickmore's evidence, and I agree in the opinion that be has expressed. I had no trouble myself to manage the boy. At the ea portion of the time he was with us, I saw him • good deal. While he was with us he bad the Looping-oongh, and he had some unpleasant medicine to take which he refused to take from the servant, but the moment I spoke to him he took it. I never heard him use bed Write& He was not neat is his dress, and in his play be would make himself • little dirtier than other boys, and from the defect in his mouth (I all it nothing but • defect), the saliva would run down she mouth and he would make bb fees dirty by rubbinghis dirty heads over his face. Had you ever any don= of his mental competence? Witness—Cerfeinly not; the thought never once entered day mind that be was not the acme as other boys. The goys used to play at soldiers.
