It finds everything so flat at Westminster that it can really endure the thing no longer. There is not so much as usual to be done just now in the country ; but anything is better than the tedium of Legislative life, without laws to make, to mend, or to mar. The , /1/1/li of the last month has been insupportable. Ministers have had no measures for their friends to support except the Kensington-garden Road Bill ; and they were spared the duty of looking after that by a single evening's mutiny. Lord WERTIIVILY introduces his Law Reforms in the Upper House, where he can expound their scope and tendency himself, before risking their fate in the Lower ; so there is not even that chance of anything useful to do. Nor is the prospect of mischief much better. On tho first day of the Session, the gentlemen who, as Mr. DISZAII.II says, honour him with their confidence, mustered in goodly array behind him, and gave the usual intimatior that they were ready for any retrograde step for which he might give the signal. But signal gave he none ; so after dawdling down to the House day after day to hear nothing particular said at 6 o'clock, and dining out without pairing for the night, the gentlemen who used to be in Op. position began to be heard muttering audibly that they might as well be at home. By way of trying if any party pulse was left, grave Mr. Wax rin.x suddenly gave notice of his intention to do something respecting the Education Minute, and at length it appeared likely that there would be at least one long night of it. Some members bad talked violently during the autumn against the proposed chilige, and others hailed an oppor tunity to alma their dislike to Mr. Lows. Lord Deasy, althoti4ll he had told his followers that be did nut want to upset the scheme, hadnevertheless left them unlimited indiscretion to do anything abort of this. But Mr. WA LPOLI finding it im possible to frame any set of resolutions for which his late colleagues in office could be in duced to vote, announced his intention of not bringing forward his motion until a more conve nient season for country gentlemen to be in town. This was felt by many to be decisive of the great question of domicile until after Easter. What were they to stay in town for, if there was nothing coming on ? It might be all very well far Sir H. ~iiev and Admiral Wateorr to watch the Navy Estimates, and for Sir F. SMITH and Coked Nolan to look after those of the Army. Messrs. Maim= and limoneem haunt if they pleased the steps el Sir ROSILItT Piss, end Mr. Danz damns pursue an l'itosa-Sscurrisr with inquiries low each of the great Powers might be expected to act in even tualities that could never occur. But the gentle men of England would go home. Doubtless they are only reserving their strength for a later period of the Session. For it by no means follows that, because Government has no good bills ready to lay on the table in February, and Opposition chiefs prefer to wait, there fore the Session is likely to psis without party battle. Three hundred gentlemen, matt of whom have paid pretty dear for their seats, cannot be kept very long from measuring their strength against that of their oppo nents. ♦piarnpari is an old profession of Lord Dahlia's/. lie until he thinks he sees it fairly within his I,rasp, and then his sense of duty to Lis country, and oothing else, compels him to be as factious as pos sible. He has had his innings, it is true, and may perhaps be less eager in his ambition than ho was ten years ago. But a great party cannot be kept together without actionof some kind; and their chiefs must provide game for them. One thing, however, is clear, that from the ill-organized state of the business of the House many weeks of available time are uttirly lost ; and when the majority of members are fresh after the vacation, and have cool weather, during which they might without risk of health work four days in the week on com mittees, there is little or no committee business for them to do. By an obstinate adherence to the absurd rules regarding Private and Local Bills, the morning of the Session is left idle, whilst the whole of this most onerous portion of Parliamentary labour is postponed till the sultry noontide, or exhausted evening. The commencement of the Session may often through various MIMI be unpropitious for the discussion of great political questions ; but it is precisely the fittest time foe adjudication between rival Railways, for the exa mination of Harbour 1311 s, and the whole class of subjects that fall under the denomination of pri vate business. How or why is it that nothing can be done to secure the better distribution of Parliamentary work t Is it not a sorry joke to hear of Parliament guing out of town after looking fur four weeks for something to do, when, as everybody knows, there is a great deal of one kind or other that will have to be done between this and the dog days.

In the heat of his indignation Lord Dakar seemed to forget that brigandage is a fearful scourge of the peaceful population, and that it may be the duty of the Government to resort to temporary measures of great severity for its extinction. However, Baron RICABOLI states that the measures taken for that purpose are uniformly framed with the approval of the muni cipal authorities. Lord DERBY professes to find the answer to his inquiry " very satisfactory ;" but we suspect that another time ho will prefer to leave to Lord NORMANDY the business of dying the canards of the Neapolitan Rousso:4a. Prince Napoleon regretted the remarks of M. de is Guerronniere, and said, "At Villafranos I only executed the orders of the Emperor. It is not for me to say what were thuse orders, nor what is my opinion respecting them." (Applause.) M. de la Gnereonniere regretted the antagonism of the papacy to Italy, but said it was necessary that Rome should remain to the Pope. "If," continued M. de la Cluerronniere, " France per mitted the Italians to go to Rome, it would be a terrible blow to conservative principles. An irresistible impulse would be thereby given to the revolutionary element. France ought to remain at Rome until the force of events shall bring about an equitable arrangement between the King of Italy and the Pope. If Count Cavour were not dead, that result might have been already attained." The debate was then adjourned until to-day, when Cardinal Donnet and Prince Napoleon will speak. The Moniteur of this morning states that the de mands for the conversion of Four-and-a-Half per Cents. now ►mount to 79,000,000 fr., and that the number of Obligations Trentennaires presented for conversion is 330,000. The Moniteur alto announces that the France Centra/e has received a second warning for the pro pagation of false news calculated to excite hatred and contempt of the government. The following letter, which we translate from the Correspondance Battier, contains news of the latest date from Athens : ATHENS, FEB. 21. We can now define the character of the events which are taking place in Greece as being an ineurrection of a part of the army against King Otho's system of government. It is ' mid that this insurrection was to have broken out 'Maul taneously on the 16th of this month in the garrisons of Nauplia, Patna, Mimoloughi, Lenica, and Athens. A leisure of letters, about the 10th instant, by the prefect of Nauplia, forced the leaders of the movement to declare themselves in that town on the 12th; but as there bad been sallicient time for the trans:Manion of these letters to Athena, the government learned from them the names of the conspirators, and numerous arrests were effected in the capital. Kaliforna, Petrel* and Delliorghi, all of them members of the late ephemeral Canaries cabinet, are in prison. The alleged movement of the garrison of Lanka is contradicted. At Nauplia the leaden are Lieut.-Colonel Axtemi, who is at the head of the troops, and commander-in chief ; and Lieut.-Colonel Coronae, of the Artillery, who was detained in the citadel, awaiting his trial on a charge of participation in theconspiracy of last May ; he has been nomi nated prefect of the place. Major Zambra-Kaki, of the Artillery ; Lieut.-Colonel Boggiari, cousin of the present Minister of War, and the majority of the officers who had been accused of plots and released some months after wards for want of proof, are eogagedjn the Nauplia move ment. The advice* from that place inform us that the greatest order prevails there, that there is no fear of pillage, that the business of the public Treasury and of the branch bank proceeds with regularity, and that on all these points the inhabitants feel full security. On the 16th, the King reviewed at Corinth a small re gular force of about 1,500 men, and harangued them. In th log the King returned to Athens by way of the , linens For the last six days news was expected that the Nauplia movement was imitated in the other provinces. In o truth, Mimesis and Magnin appear to be much possessed by the spirit of rebellion. The attention of the government is earnestly fixed upon these provinces. It immediately des patched thither General Anthony Mavromikali, with in structions to quiet the minds of the inhabitants, and not to spare promises. Disaffection to the dynasty everywhere Prevails. The army of Corinth has advanced to Argos, and has effected its junction with other troops (about a thouund men), which bad been landed at the mills of Nauplia (at the head of the gulf) by General Ciceni, or Tracria, a man of great influence, and primate in the province of Argolis, who had promised a foss of at least 3,000 muskets. It is asserted that the insurgents conceived timely suspicions as to the conduct of Tsar* and that they conveyed bim to Nauplia under arrest. It appears that on perceiving that Athens did not move, the other provinces also remained quiet, sod it Is said that, they have adjourned their project., but not resouneed it. Nauplia and Tripolitza are as yet the only towns that have risen. The latter will be speedily reduced, bat Nauplia can hold out for a long time. Disaffection to the royal authority is general ; the precautions taken make this fact still more apparent. The King has seat Geserals Colocotroni, Plapouta, Petro, and Anthony Mavremlksli to recruit and form irregular corps. It is to this esd that the trifling sums which remained in the public coffees have been expended, and that a loan of two millions has been obtained from the Bank of Athens, hypothecated upon the customs of the Piritlik and the tithes of the olive trees of &lona. The government manifests much anxiety about the events which are now taking place and those which may occur at any moment. Athens looks as if it were in a state of siege. Many of the principal ogles have been closed for several days by order of the police. The gymnasia and the university are also closed. People shim each other in the streets, for fear of being suspected if they are seen talking to anybody ; but it is easy to con vince oneself that in the homes of the inhabitants there i s infinitely more to the dynasty than is generally eup posed. The offices of the ministry of war are established in the royal palace, and the Queen, it is said, thanks to the lan guage of her courtiers, having recovered from her first alarm, breathes nothing but vengeance. I am willing to believe that the many enemies of that princess are capable of imputing to her expressions she has nob uttered; but, on the other hand, be assured that her Majesty is remarkable for her imprudence, and that anger often deprives her of all power of reflection. When we think oft he contempt with which the court regards the powerful states to which Greece owes her very existenoe, one cannot help pitying such pride and infatuation. We may be sure that if this movement be put down, all its leaders whom the bullets may have spared will have to bear the full weight of the Queen's resentment. AU business is paralysed. The city of Athens seems lifelees. The only people you meet in the streets are gendarmes and policemen. If Nauplia hold out but for one mouth, the government will be seriously impailled. Its embernesment will be great when the two millions are spent.. The funds of the provincial treasuries are squan dered away by numerous "persons of influence" who have placed themselves at the King's orders to recruit—with the help, of course, of (wide. What • mess it will be ! There are in the Piraeus two British yawls, a large one and a corvette. Admiral Bouchard is still at Smyrna with two good ships. It is to be observed that the English commanders appear better cbspoeed than usual with regard to the court. Are these sentiments sincere? It is notorious that the government of Greece has always sought to create ember rasamenta for &glad in the lonian Islands. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (mm's mama.) AMERICA. IMPORTANT FEDERAL SUCCESSES. NEW YORK, F. 15, Mowing. (Per Nova Scotian, by telegraph to Portland sad via rery). The Federal forces invested and attacked Fort Donnelson on the 13th. The cannonade bated all day. One Federal gunboat assisted, and others were coming up. The Confederate guns were re ported to be dismounted. It was believed that the Federal. had captured the left redoubt. A oonai derable number were killed and wounded on both sides. Fifteen thousand Confederates under Generals Pillon, Floyd, Johnston, and Buckner, garrisoned the fort ; and it was thought the Fade rals would carry the place by storm to-day or to morrow. --.. Southern despatches state that the Federal flag was cheered when proceeding up the Tennessee river. ....... The Confederates had agreed to a general ex change of prisoners. The Secretary of War had issued an order for the release of all political pri soners, except spies, upon their giving their parole not to aid the enemies of the Federal Government. AU persons so released who keep their parole will be amnestied for past treasonable offences. Extra ordinary arrests will in future be made only by the military authorities. The House of Representatives has passed the Naval Bill, with an amendment appropriating fifteen million dollars for gunboats.

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE EMPEROR AND THE catadszits. Irsom on OWN PARIS, FRIDAY EVINING. I have never, since the establishment of the em pire, had to report a domestic event of such im portance as that of to-day. The committee of the Corps Legislatif upon Count Palikao's dotation bill has—in spite of the Emperor's most ill-advised but most peremptory letter, putting himself in direct collision with the commons house upon a matter of money—reported against the measure. The following is the substantial part of the report of Baron de Jouvenel, the reporter of the cum- mitres : ----- - The peopled is to grant to General Cousin-Montaubat., Count de Palikao, an annual and perpetual dotation of 50,0001 r. Most assuredly the army cannot doubt either your gratitude or your sympathies ; the army can not have forgotten the laws which you unanimously voted on April 26. 1853, to augment the pensions of non sommissioned officers and soldiers; on April 26, 1856, to augment the pensions of the widows of soldiers killed on the field of battle ; on June 19, 1837, to increase the pay of officers of the army and navy ; and on June 26, 1861, to augment the scale of retiring pensions for both services. Your committee, in presence of such facts, could not be otherwise than well assured that it was reflecting your wishes in spurning all parsimonious ideas unworthy of such • nation as ours, and also unworthy of a great assembly which has the strongest feeling in favour of every liberality which can be justified by great service" rendered to the country. But your committee found itself in the present case 1t presence of • totally &Hemet order of ideas ; it could not forget that you are the guardians of the principles of our public law, and that in this place you are compelled to submit the most generous considerations to the authority of the law. Now, what says our legislation on this head T Why, that the crea don of tnajonats (perpetually entailed property) is abso lutely prohibited. It is in the face of this interdiction, deriving its source from the constituent principles of cur new society, that the committee finds itself placed. It has nothieg to do with the motives which may have actuated the legislature in 1835 and 1849. But looking at the mat ter with the same sentiments which it serums to have predominated in the Corp. Legislatif of 1857, when • grand act of national munificence was sanctioned, your committee had to ask itself whether the circumstances of the present care are of that exceptional nature which is indispensable in or der to warrant such • departure from principle ; and especially whether, in the present financial state of the country, these circumstances are such as to justify • perpetual charge upon the public debt of a character only to be found in dotations of another epoch, and which, moreover, were furnished mainly by territories conquered by our arms. It has appeared to us, gentlemen, that, in order to conquer our repugnance to such a measure, other conditions were impe ratively necessary. It should have been shown to us that the crown had exhausted all the favours and dignities which it has the power to confer, that the !sove reign authority, acting within legal limits, shor'd have been in some tort impotent to give any reward in a regular w►y, adequate to the greatness of the service rendered. But this is not the case in the present instance. The executive power has not gone so far as it might have done without our aid, and that is a reason why we do not think it right to break down the barrio's of legality. Your committee, coming to higher considera tions, has inquired whether such a measure as now proposed is not dangerous in another point of view. "Honour," lays Montesquieu, " is the principle of monarchical govern ment, and the treasury of honour ought to supplant other !centuries." Let us means , this truly French doctrine in our government. If the special character of certain nations have enabled them to show us rivals in material interests which we should endeavour to equal, if not to surpass—let us regard with pride, and at the same time with a resolution to show ourselves worthy of it, the inheritance of grandeur and glory bequeathed to us by the bravery and disinterestedness of cur armies. Let us beware of adding the bad of pecuniary rewards to those grades and titles which attract respect and popularity when they have a noble origin and are nobly borne. Let us fear to corrupt the principle of those chivalrous senti ments which at every period of your history have engen dered the most heroic virtues. Lot us not expose our country to Woe, perhaps, its enthusiasm for military glory when it sees that our annals grow rich only at the expense of our budgets. If we pursued such a coons we might, so to speak, decapitate our contemporary glory by depriving it of that popularity which is its first and great reward. Let us remember our ancestors, who at Detain and Fontenoy marched heroically into the jaws of death only to deserve the ayes of St. Louis. Let us re member our fathers who accomplished those immense prodigies, those methodic@ of the republic, for a sword of honour. Let us look around us, and endeavour to count up the splendid actions, the chefs crwuvre of art, the conquests of science, which have been rewarded oaly with the ribbon of the Legion of Honour. While proposing to you a resolution which we are prompted to take by the highest motives, your committee feels • profound and painful emotion. The Corps Legislatif will share this sentiment in separating itself ou one point from the wishes of the Emperor, almost on the day after the ever generous confidence of the sovereign has restored to us many of our most essential prerogatives ; but on • ques tion like this, which involves fundamental principle', with out touching any necessity of imperial policy, we have thought that the independence of our language would be the beet proof of the sincerity of our devotedness. The accomplishment of our duty is the more easy, because your committee, having been named by 182 votes against 34, canaot have ►he least doubt that it faithfully interprets the feelings of the assembly at large. On these grounds your committee propose that the bill be rejected. Let me record here my belief that the above do cument will stand in history as one of the most important in the first decade of the second empire. The above report, the rumour of which early reached the Bourse, produced • disastrous effect upon quotations. The Rente, after violent fluctua tions, closed at 70fr. 400. for cash, and 70fr. 65c. for account, with • fall of Egk. and 36c. sfobilier fell 16fr. 25c. In railways most of the lines were 15fr. lower. M. RENAN AND THE FRENCH GOVERN. KENT. An article in the Prase of yesterday sharply criticises the conduct of the French government in silencing M. Roan. After quoting the decree in the Moniteur, the Prue says : In whatever way it is considered, this decree is inexplica ble. The government knew M. Renan when it nominated him to the chair of Hebrew, ►nd knew him not only as an erudite man, but as a philosopher and free thinker. It well knew that, uniting with much knowledge a great independ ence of mind, he bad long shaken off the yoke of alleged infallible authority, and substituted, to ass his own words, for " the law which crushes and dwarfs," the faith which elevates, ameliorates, and strengthens. Of course it has not done him the outrage of supposing that in changing his position he would change his principles ; it cannot have believed him capable of lying to his conscience by disguising the truth, and teaching from his chair doctrines contrary to those which he upholds in his books. if these doctrines are incompatible with public teaching, they were so before the nomination of M. Henan, and in that case he ought not to have been nomi nated. We must conclude either that the suppression of the Hebrew course is a concession to the clerical party, or that it is an act of inconsistency. There is no middle way of escape out of this dilemma. Be it inconsistency, or be it concession, the measure is in any case one to be deeply regretted. Rouland alleges that the doctrines set forth by M. Renan " offend Christian faith." There is then an official Christianity? This is novel and may have extensive consequences. Moutesquieu, most probably, was not • Chris tian ; Voltaire was not one; Diderot and Lalonde magi notoriously atheist, ; Locke and Newton were not Trinlft rises, and consequently not Christians, according to the , vulg►r acceptation of that word. If such men were living would M. Rouland not bestow upom them professors chairs, or if he did, would he suspend their lectures! ii), then, there is henceforth an official orthodoxy? We have, as under Louis XIV., a grand master of the theology of France. The government has had a new revelation, and discovered the truth amidst things hitherto reputed to be incomprehensible. It may in future prescribe our choice between Plato and Aristotle, Rome and Geneva, Descartes and Newton, Locks and Malebranche, and fix the furthest limits to which men of learning, philosophers, and theo logians may advance officially. We have spoken of inconsistency : that into which M. Rouland has fallen is even greater than it appears at first sight. The State pays three religions—the catholic, the protestant, and the Jewish. Of these three religions two at lamas are false, and that being so, the State recognises and pays officially two manifest some. Nor is this all. 11. Renal] does not believe in the Divinity of Jesus Christ : but he speaks of Him in magnificent terms, like a scholar who is accustomed to harmonise solid erudition with sound philosophy ; like a true philosopher, who is not afraid either of shocking the timid by his frankness, or persons of ex treme views by his moderation • Is it thus that the Jews speak who are in raosipt of government pay? No ; they maintain and teach that Jens Christ was but a fate prophet, a contemner of the laws, a psrturbstor, and that their fathers justly put Him to death. Which of the two most " offends Christian faith," the rabbi who preaches this doctrine to has fellow believers, or H. Renan, who rye to his audience, " Jesus was an inoomparible man : He founded the everlasting religion of humanity r MILLINERS AND DRESSMAKERS' PROVIDER; AND BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. The fourteenth annual meeting of this institution was held yesterday evening at Willies Rooms, the attend ance cooeuting chiefly of ladies. The chair was taken by Dr. Daiwa& The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, observed that that institution was founded on the ides that it was both expedient and practicable for milliuers and dressmakers to make some provision for the day of difficulty, of sickness, and of inability to work. That this wee expe dient was evident from the fact that many persons engaged in those callings had no one to whom they could look for assistance in time of need ; while his own experience, ex tending over more than • quarter oa century, showed how se rious were the diseases to which such persons were liable. That it was practicable was dear from the fact that the members of that society, with no larger means than others of their class, had made some provision for the future. The HON. SISCRETARY (Hr. W. Shuter) read the report. It stated that daring the past year four new members bad been admitted, and that the institution now consists of 127 ' members, of whom 52 are life and 75 annual subscribes. From the balance-sheet it appeared that during the year ending the 31st of January, 1862, the receipts, including a balance of 166/. at the commencement of the year, amounted to 6401. 17s. 6d., and the disbursements (includ ing the investment of 3001. in Console), to 47M. No. 641., leaving a balance in baud of 1651. 91. Ten mem bers of the institution bad, it was stated, received pecuniary relief during the year, the payment s made to them amounting to 100/. lie. The greater part of this sum had been awarded to ladies who would probably continue pensioners upon the funds, their age and infirmities being soh as to preclude the hope that they would be able to maintain themselves without some provision from the in stitution. One of the earliest members died in September last, after a painful illness, and she received a liberal allow ' sum from the funds during the short time she required that assistance. The institution had sustained a severe lass by the death of Stephen Lewis, Req., one of its earliest and most influential supporters. The directors had bad painful experience that • greater amount of distress misted among the aged milliners and dressmakers than among the worn-out workers at any other Dwane's. The usual lot of the majority of the persons engaged in these trades appeared to be • life of unvarying toil, too often closing in absolute destitution, or in depe nd ence upon the charity of friends. The relief account of the institu tion proved also that even the reasonable hope that the young milliner or dressmaker would be shielded by marriage from the vicissitudes of the future was too often fallacious. Of the ter members who bad received relief during the pad year, five were either married women whose husbands' earnings were not sufficient for the support of their families during sickness, or widows who derived their chief provi. sion from the institution. The sum of 3001. bad been in. vested dunng the past year. This was a smaller addition to the permanent fund than the loved, meets made in former years. The decrease was caused by the demands made upon the income of the iustitution for the necessities of its members. As these demands would probably be renewed, the directors feared that a longer time would be required to rallies the capital of 10,0001. than they originally contemplated. They trusted, however that the nobility and gentry and other persons who felt interested in the prosperity of the workers of all classes would bestow that patronage upon it which would expedite the work. Mr. TAVERNER inured the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. GARD, and carried. Thanks were subsequently voted to the medical officers of the institution for their attention to those of the members who had required their assistance; to the donors and annual subscribes for their liberal contributions to the funds of the institution ; and to the vice-presidents, trustees, treasurers, directors, and auditors for their prudent management. BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. The adjourned meeting of the promoters of this association was held yesterday at the Westminster Palace Hotel, Mr. IL. W. CHLWFOSIN M.P., in the chair.

They ale appointed a body of gentlemen as a committee to prepare a constitution, and they had agreed to a body of rules, which would now be placed before tile meeting for eonfi;matioe. A discussion then took place, in which Mr. Childers, Sir Mint* Farquhar, Mr. Denby Seymour, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Jackson, and other gentlemen shared , upon questions of verbal criticism, and finally, details apart, it wee agreed that the object of the aasociation should be to diffuse inform. tion as to the British North American provinces, to promote colonial union and correspondence, and to enable the impe rial and colonial interests on both aides of the Atlantic to confer from time to time through its instrumentality, as an established centre of communication, on all topics of mutual interest. With this view it should collect and circulate official information regarding the material resources of the provinces, in respect to emigration and the employment of capital and labour, end also such facts as shall record the development of their commerce and their progress in the arts and sciences. It was further arranged that the association should possess a library, with maps, charts, he., connected with the British American provinces. It should also be regularly supplied with such leading papers and publications of the chief towns and cities of the pro vinces as the council might think fit, and that the as tion should from time to time, under the superintendence of the council, p u blish statements, and accompany them with maps and other illustrations as occasion may require.
