THE debate on Mr. Csenwutt's Resolution has been adjourned till Thursday, and it is not expected 1 111. even now 011 that the i nottihevote can be taken before Friday. This delay to be regretted. A Mail from India is its way from Maresillea, and its content. may throw such a light on the actual state of affairs in our great Oriental dependency as may exercise a salutary influence on the passions of the House of Commons, and compel its Memberkto reflect on the consequences which their vote may produce in India. Minister' have expressed their readiness to acquiesce in the amendment propceed by Mr. DILLWYN ; and really the more the question is ventilated the more it appears advisable that all parties should ogres to the adoption of such a middle coarse. Meanwhile, as it is possible that • majority may insist upon Mr. Csitowates Resolution being Car- -1 ried, and as it seems now admitted on all hands that in that case we are to have a dissolution as soon as the routine business of the Session can be got through, it behaves the Liberals throughout the country to be prepared for such an eventuality. If recent pro °Wente are to have any weight, the course pursued, in the event of Ministers being outvoted, will be ea follows :—As soon u the indispensable business of the Session is at an end, Parliament will be prorogued . The announcement on w of will ths l bediash diss o lutio n, semi the calling of a new Parliament, the Ism of writs, &c., will immediately follow. When the elections are completed enautumnal a view to a trial of strength ; the result of which will be, either that Ministers will retain their places, or that they will resign, and a new Administration will have to be formed. The late humiliating scenes in Parliament afford an instructive illustration of the pernicious con- _ sequences of allowing • general election to be de- cided simply by a cry of up or down with this or the other individual statesman. Moreover, we are now edified by a declaration of Lord Pstaxaeroe's most powerful organ in the preen that nothing would be gained by the mere restoration of the late Cabinet • I to office ; that a new and better combination of public men must be formed with a view to ensure a stable Government. There goes some- thing more, however, to the composition of a Government that can work for the general good than a mere abnegation of personal jealousies and animosities among a certain number of aspirants to office. The contracting parties must also be agreed apse the principles that are to regulate their conduct when in office, and the policy they are to pursue. Aad they must make a frank and unre- served declaration of those principles and that policy • .1 1! the ground upon which they appeal for the support of the electors. The strength of the Liberal party will be wasted unless it can be rallied round a body of reliable leaders ; and it will be equally wasted • unless these leaders are selected on account of their principles. We of the Liberal party must have a flag to rally round respecting which there can be no mistake ; and that flag must be placed in hands re- Bisecting which, also, there can be no mistake. The first article of the Liberal creed is Parlia- mentary Reform. And inasmuch as all patties are now ready enough to give a vague general pledge II I I in favour of Reform, some distinctive and explicit declaration mast be required as to the scope and • 1 tendency of the Reform meant. A liberal extension eft the suffrage is the first requisite. A nommoss and intelligent class of men exists beyond the pie of the amstitnticni, and these men, inasmuch as arsenal he Ufa views and wishes exercises a strong kfleseee over the decisions of the Legislature, are endemiably peossmied of political power. The existence of pai- -1 timid power which can only be exercised by indirect mamas sot recognised by the Canetitatits im preg- nant with danger, and thereihre the mamba= of the class to which we refer into the electoral body aan urgent necessity. Although the WIT elms of electors admitted by Lord thiar's Bill infamed for a time a higher moral tone into our elealiams, debasing influences have already reduced this toss to a low standard, and a further infusion of sew Mud into the electoral ranks is wanted. The atones of the protection of the Ballot his contri- ,l bated mainly to the speedy demoralisation of the ten-pound voters; and to prevent a similar catastrophe with the new electors for whom admission is now claimed, the adoption of that mode of voting ought to be made a sine qua nos. The re-distribution of the electoral districts, the shortening of the possible duration of Parliaments, the abolition of vexation' and unnecessary oaths; and of all proprietary restrictions on the choice of representatives, ought also to be insisted upon. Next in importance to the extension of Otn liberties—or more properly upon a par with it—is the insisting upon securities for thus liberties wi have sheedy inherited er acquired. Can should bi taken to make sure that no future Ministry skid dare to ask, and no future Parliament to entertain for a moment so much as the proposal of an Alai Act, or Conspiracy Bill, or any assimilation of our insti tntions to the coercive and spy organisations of th, C.oatinent. In like manner, explicit declarations o respect for the entire freedom of oral and printer i diessmion ought to be exacted from all candidate for a seat in the Legislature, and aspirants to a plea usemg the leaders of the Liberal party. Ramat experience bas shown that a disposition t tamper with our free institutions is intimately aim ciated witha desire to contract intimate alliances will the old despotic countries of Europe. No Stateemes therefore, can be accepted as the representatives o leaden of the Liberal party whose Foreign Polley ism Used upon the recognition that the People' as infinitely more important than the DiwwWiss: wh do not avow warmer sympathies with Italy am THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 19,, 11 other oppreseed nationalities than with Austria who are not prepared to draw closer the alliances of Great Britain with all free and oonstitutionalßtates, and to place in such alliances their trust for our ow* security and the permanent repose of,the . world. A multitude of other important questions press upon our recollection, but they are all more or less corollaries from the principles expressed by the three leading points we have insisted upon :—The allaying el religious animosity by abolishing that infringement on religious liberty, the Church Rates ; provision for the efficient, just, and humane administration of our colonies and dependencies ; the extension of *dues non and other social ameliorations ; the throwing open of public employment to the deserving of what ever rank; an improved organisation of our defen sive establishments ; and a wise economy of the public monies. may that • Polio guPPort Part 7 . body wasted of their Puha are Saar explicit insti • the who .d A number of able and experienced Statesmen united upon the recognition of such principles, as a basis, will really deserve the name of a Liberal party. Cemented by any other considerations, they can only be regarded as a faction. Recent events have seemed to confirm the fears exproned in the Reform Bill tem, that a reformed Hone al Com mons would be found incompatible with the existence of • stable government. But this seem ing fulfilment of a desponding prophecy is only the consequence of Ministerial blunders. Ministers of all parties have attempted to sway and lead • body representing a wide com munity by the petty arts and intrigues which swayed and led the representatives of a few noble families andclose boroughs. A Legislature differently composed must be ruled by different and more gene rous arts. A Reformed Parliament can only work in harmony with a Reformed Ministry. Henceforth it is not by canvassing organisations and undue influence that elections can be made secure and Parliaments ren dered conformable ; but by acquiescence in the spirit and aspirations of the up, by strict adherence to principle, and by appeals to the generous sentiments of the nation. AN affair has just occurred in Paris which illus trates in a sufficiently striking way the inconvenienoe l p of journalism on the other side of the Channel, and the barbarism, not to say barbarity, with which the old laws of private war are still maintained in that polite land. AM. 111111111 DE PINE, in the exercise of his vocation ea a writer for the Figaro, a paper well known to all who have ever sipped coffee on the Boulevards, as • weak sort of Parisian Punch, had perpetrated some mild joke re specting the uniform of the sub-lieutenants of the Army—the point of which appears to have been that, owing to certain recent regulations, the crino line of the ladies would be safer than heretofore from the spun of the military. To those who re collect the amusement which our witty English contemporary used to extract out of shell-jackets, shakos, and helmets, this might have appeared a suf ficiently venial offence. Not so in France, where the susceptibilities of personal vanity are peculiarly keen, and where the prominent characteristic of the day is the strongly pronounoed dislike and contempt of the men of the sword for the men of the pen. The joke caused great irritation, and produced a threatening letter signed " A Sub-lieutenant." M. DE PENE, im prudently enough, characterised this communication in his journal as the production of a person who talked more about fighting than a gentleman who means to fight usually does. This instantly led to a challenge from the writer of the letter, M. Coln nn., ea dim in the 10th Chaeseurs. The challenge wu at once accepted, and M. DE PINE proceeded to the place of meeting attended by two seconds, one of whom wee the Dan de Rom°, and a medical man. Arrived en the ground, he found his antago nist, accompanied by a party of more than forty officers. The weapons were sword*. The duel took place. M. DE PINE disabled the officer who had challenged him by a wound in the arm, and had no sooner thus put him hors de combat than he in stantly expressed regret for the misunderstanding, and assured M. GOURITIL that the article which had led to it was not intended to be offensive. The combatants shook hands, the seconds gathered up the swords, and all was supposed to be over. Up to this point nothing had taken piece which was not of frequent occurrence in this country, until the foolish and brutal practice of mortal combative' sup pressed by the good sense and Christian feeling of the caws city. What follows carries us back to the worst days of the duello, and displays a degree of cowardice and turberity which would have disgraced the age of Louts MIL As M. DI Pass wee preparing to leave the ground, one of the body of officers stepped tap to hiss and struck him on the face with his glove. In a moment the swords were crossed again; the seaside do not appear to have interposed, and after a few pessesM. pinata was run through the body. To complete the ease it is stated that a general meeting of the cams present on the ground had taken place before the 'mounter, and that at that meeting a list was settled of those who were to call out in awsoession the offending journalist. To point out the brutality and cowardice of each a proceeding as this would, in an Eng lish journal, be a work of pure supererogation. We have got beyond these murderous pueri litiss of feudalism, and look with mingled horror and contempt at such a prostitution of the very notion of honour. But, even in France, it is satisfactory to find that this miserable affair is giving rise to sentiments of reprobation and disgust. It is not apparently so much the cowardly wicked ness, as the military insolence, evinced in the pro °ceding which is filling the cafes and pumps of Paris with a universal hubbub of excitement. It is in this aspect, undoubtedly, that the affair must be regarded as most serious. The time has gone by when the class contempt of soldiers for civilians can be indulged in with im punity in France. It is a tradition of the old Mo narchy and the first Empire which cannot now be revived. Civil life in Francs is, or has been, free, wealthy, ambitions, and powerful. It may submit, for the sake of order, to the strong rale of a military EXPIIOI4 but it cannot long be passive under the intolerable domination of a military hierarchy. The most socially democratic of European communities will not submit patiently to the aristocracy of the sword. Repression based on positive law is sufficiently hard to endure with equanimity, but the lawless oppression of a dominant class is utterly intolerable to any high-spirited people that has woe tasted freedom. The military insolence that only produces murmurs in Austria would rapidly lead to different results in France. The re pression of this lawless and violent spirit, the imposing of due bounds on the overweening arro gance of an Army too proudly conscious of its im portance and its power, is one of the hardest tasks which lie before the Emperor of the FEEXCH. Whether he will attempt, or, if he attempts, whether he will be able to accomplish it, remains to be seen. It is among the just retributions attending on the way in white he has risen to power that he should thus be ousharrused in its exercise. Re has thrown himself on the Army in order to make himself master of the nation, and the Nemesis that awaits him may pro bably be the asolesity of abiding by his choirs. gbe eourt.

A telegram received by government brings the melancholy news that the Duchess of Orleans died this morning. Count Migeon is elected for the Haut Rhin. The telegram with the news has not yet been published, and I have not heard the numbers of the majority. This event illustrates the imprudence of General Dipinamee's letter, upon which I have already re marked. The Nord of Brussels and the Daily News were seized to-day. It is not certain that the Montenegrin question is I settled. Turkey, as the Moniteur announces, has consented to suspend hostilities, but it is said that she insists upon the recognition of her suzerainty by Montenegro. This is a condition which France, as at present advised, will never consent to. There has been a rumour that M. Delarne, a Frenchman, who is secretary to Prince Danilo, had been assassinated by the Turks. A despatch re ceived at the Foreign-office, contradicts this news. M. Delarne is with the Montenegrin army, and he was sent by Prince Danilo to read to the regiments a telegraphic summary of the article in favour of Montenegro, in the Mositeur. The review of heavy cavalry, at Longehamps, held by the Emperor yesterday in honour of the Prince of Wm-temburg, went off very well. The Empress and the Queen of Holland were on the ground. In the evening there was a grand ball at the Tuileries. It is announced that the Court will go to Fon tainebleau on Sunday. The Queen of Holland and the Prince of Wnrtemburg, will, of course, be of the party. It is still said, but more faintly than before, that the Conferences will open before the Emperor's departure, bat Thursday, which was positively &Ted by the Constitutionael, seems to be abandoned now that it is only the day after to-morrow, and Saturday is spoken of. A diplomatic dinner which Count Walewski was to have given on Wednesday has been hastened, and will take place this evening. The Bourse opened with some degree of buoyancy, but soon became heavy. It was supposed to be affected slightly by the news of Count Migeon's election. The Rente fell 10c. for cash, cloning at 69fr. 60c., and closed at yesterday's price, 69fr. 66c. for account. Mobilier closed without variation. The Southern railway role 1 Ifr. 25c., but the North ern fell 7fr. 60e., and the other lines were from Ur. 60c. to 511.. lower. "Public opinion," says the Figaro Programme, " has been deeply moved by the sending of so many challenges to one man. It would be unjust, how ever, not to state the fact that the immense majority of the officers have shown, by their attitude, that they understood the article which has caused such deplorable consequences in its true light—they see in it a pleasantry written without any offensive in tention. MM. Grangier and de Comminges, officers of the Guides, who were to have had a hostile meet ing with M. de Pane on Saturday evening at four o'clock, wrote to the Duke of Ron** on Friday even ing, to say that, after the misfortune which bad oc curred, they withdrew their challenges, and that they trusted M. de Pane might recover from his wounds." The Figaro, which is obliged to be very guarded in its language, speaks of the " many " challenges which were sent to M. de Pane, but does not say how many. I have heard the exact number stated at thirty. one, bat it is, at all events, certain that there were very many. It is also beyond a doubt that many of the officers have not followed the example of the two Guides mentioned by Figaro, and withdrawn their challenges. To renounce fighting with a man whom you have never seen, against whom you have no personal enmity, and who has already been wounded to death's door by your friends, is not cer tainly to exercise any extraordinary amount of Christian charitf. But little as it is, many of the officers who thronged the Figaro offioe last week with challenges for M. de Pane have not gone even that far. Some of them were heard to say, after the shocking event of Vague., that they would make him fight again if he got well. It is to be hoped that by this time they are in a better frame of mind. I have reason to doubt the correctness of the first accounts of the affair in so far u it was represented that the officers in waiting to fight M. de Pane, in case of his escaping the swords of Sub- Lieutenant Courtiel and his seconds, were actually "on the ground" at the time of the duel. Friends of some of the parties tell me that they were near at band (Our alentowrs), but how far exactly they were off, and whether or not they were in sight, I have not been able to learn. While writing I ass told that they were in the wood, about 300 yards off from the ground. M. de Pine is still alive, and the chances of saving him are thought to be considerably augmented. Several civilians have sent letters to the Figaro rem, offering to fight duels with the military. The Press. says, in its weekly commercial review : Advice, from our commercial togas are more favourable than they have been for a keg whlM. Ths stooks in hand have materially diminished.

Until late lut night fears were entertained that our " Isthmian games" would this year be marred by unfa vourable weather. Towards midnight, however, the wind slightly changed, and in the morning we had almost a cloudier sky. As early es five o'clock the streets of the metropolis leading westward or in the direction of Surrey okra the rail features of the "Derby Day" --chandries, vans, costermongers' pony trucks, aad vehicles of an humble and unpretending 'nature kept the road down to nine o'clock, when they commenced giving place to fir Hansoms, two-horse chariots, and resuscitated omni buses and stage coaches ; and, later still, to dashing drops, four-in-hands, end carriages with out-rider and postil lions. tip to noon the dream over Westminster, Vanxhall, and Putney-bridges was continuous, and, judging from the multitudes repairing to the Dowse, it would seem that this gnat event had even gear in attractions. The two railways dispatched trains ante ' mittingiy from seven tSI half-peat twelve o'clock, and the Brighton company put on the usual two o'clock enter for the convenience of those sportsmen or pleasure rears who were compelled to remain at business or in town to the bet moment. Hyde-park-opener, the Blephaet and Castle, Kanaington-park, and Clapham-ammo; were crowded, as is always the ore, with holiday-makes, who find more pleasure in watching the road than in the excitement of the race. It la difficult to arrive at say awn rats notion as to the numbers who hays left town to-day for Epsom; every year one is told that the attendance never was greater, and on the present &anise:my the aims remark is made. We hear persons who are supposed to be qualified to pronounce an opinion in the matter everywhere declaring that the company on the Downs this afternoon must be un precedented, • variety of causes contributing to that result. Mr. Frith's picture has served to whet the appetite of the fashionable world for the occasion ; while the fact of the Prime Minister being the owner of "the favourite" has doubtless induced more members of the legis lature to witness this teat of an English horse's capacities for speed, than would otherwise have been the case. It is gratifying to be enabled to announce at the last moment that the weather was is all respects propitious. A brilliant run, tempered by a cool delicious breeze, has greatly lessened the inconveniences of the journey down. Ths recent rains have brought out the foliage of the country in all its brightness; indeed no pleasure-seder or sportsman could have desired a more favourable day. The nature and extent of the speculation on the event is noticed in its proper place, and we need not dwell upon "the latest state of the odds," or "the last ecratchings and arrivals." We may mention that, with many of the public, there appeared to be a wish, arising out of a generous feeling, that Lord Derby's Toxophilite would win.

DEBTS OP HER 10I4L HIGHNESS THE DV'CH2I7B If 02L.E4N8. We deeply regret to announce the death of her Royal Hipftmes the Rochess d'Oritens, which estimable and piens primers expired yesterday morning shortly after 6 dale* at her neldence at Richmond, to the inexpressible pit r i bar some, the Coast de Paris and the Duke de Char ism. sad the ether numbers of the exile royal family of runes. The denies of her Royal Highness is a deep affliction to the ex-Queen Amalie, and her chief immolation under the mournful airceusetanoes to the presence of the Duke de ' Nemours, the Duks and Duohie; &Alumni., and Prince and Prinoess Joinville, who with their hinnies an residing at Twkkenham and Clammed. The lamented event was quite unexpected. The Dachas only a fortnight sines dined at the Marquis of Lansdowne's, and was apparently in the possession of excellent health and spirits. The deceased lady, Hahn Louisa Elizabeth, daughter of the late Hersditarr Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, was born in 1814, and on the 30th May, 1837, was married to the eldest son of King Louis PhOlpps , Ferdinand Duke of Orleans, then in the 27th year of his age. That prince met with an sccidental death on the 18th of July, 1842, leaving two children, of whom the elder, Louis Philippe Albert d'Orisans, Cants de Pada, born &mpg 24, 1838, is the preset hair of Orleanid pretensions to the French throne; the younger, Louie Charles, Dna de Chartres, wee born in 1840. The duchess was, by Louis Philippe in his ad of abdication on the 24th of February, 1848, appointed reardian to the two sons of the Duke of Orleans and regent of the French kingdom. She behaved with great courage and dignity upon that =lain, making her way through en armed and infuriated mob to the Chamber of Deputise, to whom she appealed in vain for the recognition of her eon's title to the crown. The repatMe having been proddiated, she quitted the French territory. The confiseatkaof the Orleans property by Louie Napoleon, and tbe spirited protest which that measure elicited from the dulled, who retuned to accept the pension with which the Emperor proposed to endow her, are matters of recent biddy.

An extraordinary prosecution is now going on in the Sheriffs Court, Edinburgh, in which a Scottish Presby terian of the Tame of Cochrane has brought en action of damages foe an attempt to impose the rite of the church of Rome on him at a period of serious illness, against an Welt priest of the name of Donahoe. The Nene* Post states that the late defeat of the Turks at Gramm was solely due to treachery. An armistice bad been conelsoled, and there being an end of fighting, the Turkish soldiers were occupied with establishing themselves at ease in their new quarters, when Prince Danilo proposed to his followers to fa upon the unsuspecting Turks and to mama" them. This project came to the ears of a French man, named De la Rue, who was resident with Prises Nails and who accompanied him sometime ego to Perk. De la Rue protested in vain. At last he declared that he would wash his hands of this infamy, and he rode straight to the Tarts to warn them. Prince Natio and his mountaineers followed feet ; before their victims could be put upon their guard they murdered the commander, Eadri Pasha, the Frenchman De la Rue, and hundreds of the unfortunate Turks.
