Arthur O'Neill, who occupied the chair, opened the procesdiap by • swish fac t sam length, ha the sauna of which lie dwelt upon the that the present govern ment had made one concession after another to the de mands of the people. He went on to say that they would drive the government on step by step as heretofore, till they compelled them to recognise neither houses, nor It rents, nor rate., nor anything but man. Mr. aMes moved " That this meeting considers the decision arrived at last night by the House of Commons in its retention of the ratepaying clauses is another instance of their utter incapacity to represent the interests of the people." The motion was seconded by Mr. Rutherford, supported by Mr. Thomas Wright, and carried unanimously. Mr. George Nuttall moved "That in the judgment of this meeting the conduct of the liberal members of the House of Commons in reference to Mr. Gladstone's motion is in consistent with their professions in the cause of reform and calls forth the utmost contempt of the people of thin country—(cheers)—and we are determined to increase our exertions for the principles of the League, and hereby pledge ourselves never to rest satisfied until registered residential manhood suffrage and the ballot shall be the law of the land." (Cheers.) Mr. Dalirell seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously, after which the meeting separated. WocvaatiArarroN.—The liberal committee of the parliamentary borough of Wolverhampton met on Friday night, called together by their chairman, Mr. Henry Walker, who presided. The petition presented in the House of Lords from Wolverhampton was repudiated, and declared to be =authoritative so far as it applied to its representative character, and the authors of it were de clared to be unknown. The meeting declared themselves in favour of an extension of the franchise, but were not pre pared to accept household suffrage. 'Theyrejected • proposi tion which desired to establish that " whatever may be the basis of the borough franchise, this meeting is of opinion that the condition of residence for at least 12 months and the full and personal payment of rates should be strictlen forced;" but approved the following motion :—" That this meeting is of opinion that a franchise equivalent to a 51. rata) or • 71. rental deserve, the support of the liberal party, and that a more limited extension would not meet the exigencies of the case." The motion was originally proposed without the rental clause, which was introduced to prevent • division, many of the older members of the committee being prepared to vote for an amendment which advocated a 71. rental instead of the bl . rstal. The meet ing then approved of a lodger franchise, and then de clared, " Above all, and more important than any lower ing of the franchise, in the opinion of the meet ing, is the redistribution of nate—since, without • much more extensive measure of this kind than is now proposed, the House of Commons can never be brought into full accord with the public opinion of the country. ' There seemed a general assent that within two years all the restraints proposeoi as a check upon household suffrage would give way, and that suffrage pure and Gimpy would follow the success of the present bilL The meeting was an em phatic declaration of the views of the general body of the electors of the borough. The charge of the Lord Chief Justice of England to the Grand Jury at the Central Criminal Court, in the cases of the Queen against Nelson and Brand, is to be published in a few days, revised and corrected by the Lord Chief Justice, with the addition of notes. It will be edited by Frederic Cockburn, Eaq., of the Crown-office. THE ACCIDENT TO COLONEL TAYLOR, M.P.—The accident which befell Colonel Taylor, M.P., on Friday, arose while the hon. and gallant gentleman was opening a soda-water bottle. The cork flew out and hit him in the ball of the eye, inflicting great pain and injury, which, however, is only likely to be temporary. Ile was, it will be seen from the list, able to be present at the division on Friday night. THE PROPOSED GRANT TO LADY DARLING.—The vote of 20,000/., sanctioned by the Legislative Assembly as a gift to Lady Darling, formed the subject of • despatch received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and laid before parliament on the 10th inst. It appeared from this document that it is contrary to the rule for colonial governors to accept any gratuities, and that, in accordance therewith, Lady Darling could not be permitted to accept it unless Sir Charles Darling withdrew from his connexion with the Colonial-office. Mr. M'Culloch said that as it appeared that at the time it was written Sir Charles Darling was still in communication with the Imperial government, the government of Victoria were not in a position to know whether he intended to continue his connexion with the home government or sever it. Should they learn, how ever, that it was Sir Charles Darling's intention to retire, the vote of hurt session would he again brought down to the house.—Melbourrse Aye, Feb. 24. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 14.—The Norwegian barque, Fido, 640 tons, of Arendal, from Belize, with • cargo of logwood, was brought into Plymouth Sound this afternoon, with seven feet of water in her hold.

(norm's nuaiums.) THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. PARIS, APRIL 14, Evonsa. The France of this evening says :—"We have reason to believe that before many days the govern ment will take the initiative in communicating to the Chambers the result of the negotiations which have been entered upon in the question of Luxemburg." The same journal says :—" The chief signatory Powers of the treaties of 1839 are adopting a course which is dictated by a aincere desire for conciliation, and in so doing they have met with that spirit of moderation which characterises the French policy. Count Bismarck appears animated by pacific inten tions, and the modification which has latterly been observable in the polemical articles of the Berlin s preen en the subject of Luxemburg is believed to be due to his personal influence." The Coustits i Bonn./ of this evening states that there has been no question whatever of the despatch of an ulti matunt to Prussia. FRANCE. PARIS, Aran, 14. 5.40 P.M. To-day on the Boulevards Re rites were quoted at 66.55. There was but little business done, and among speculators great incertitude still prevails. PRUSSIA AND HESSRDARMSTADT. DARMSTADT, APRIL 13. The government of Hesse-Darmstadt has con cluded a military convention with Prussia of a similar character to that entered into by Prussia and the kingdom of Saxony. The convention will shortly be ratified. The Hesse-Darmstadt contingent will form a portion of the 11th Federal Army Corps. BAVARIA. MUNICH, APRIL 13. Yesterday Prince von Mohanlohe prefaced his speech, in reply to the address of the Chamber of Deputies on the subject of Luxem burg, with the declaration that he received the address with joy as a proof that in questions which affect the honour of Germany there is but one party in the Diet and in the country ; and also as a proof that for the preservation of the national honour the Diet and the country are ready to make any sacrifice. The minister also characterised the views embodied in the address as a faithful exposition of the duties imposed upon Bavaria by her treaty of alliance with the rest of Germany. MUNICH, Apßn. 14. A popular meeting has been held here, at which resolutions were adopted expressing the strongest approval of the recent patriotic address of the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies on the subject of Luxemburg. The resolutions declare that in the address of the deputies the meeting rejoiced to find that the treaty of alliance concluded with North Germany, on the 22nd August last, is recog nised as the first step towards the national unity of theentire fatherland ; at the same time they consider that it is the first and most pressing duty of the Bavarian government to adopt every means for the material completion, as speedily as possible, of the Federal and national bond connecting Bavaria with North Germany. HITNGARY. PESTLE, Aran 14. An order has been issued by Count Szapazy, directing that the preparations for the coronation of the Emperor and Empress as King and Queen of Hungary must be completed by the 20th May. • RUSSIA. BT. PETERSBURG, APRIL 14. In the month of June the Czar intends paying a visit to Riga. The official journals here observe the strictest silence with reference to the attitude of the Russian Government in the Luxemburg question. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 8. The destination of Omar Pacha, the Turkish commander-in-chief, has been changed. He left on Saturday for Crete with two war steamers and 1,1500 picked men, with orders to strike a decisive blow at the insurrection. When his mission in Crete is accomplished, he will proceed to take the command of the Turkish army on the Greek frontiers. ITALY. FLORENCE, Arm. 13. To-day the Chamber of Deputies approved the Austro-Italian treaty of peace by 228 against 15 votes. The pleadings in the trial of Admiral Persano terminated to-day, and the Senate, as a high court of justice, will now deliberate upon the evidence. FLORENCE, APRIL 14.

To-day the Austrian Minister in this city had a long interview with Signor Rattazzi, who is giving these nego tiations his personal supervision. THE BRAZILS. LISBON, Aram 13, EVENING.

(ram am OWN coansrouDzirr.) PARIS. SUPDLT Evans. The interdiction of the sale of the Liberte in the streets not having diminished its circulation, but merely driven the public to buy it in the offices or in the many licensed booksellers' shops, the follow ing very remarkable petition has been presented to the emperor by the bureau of the benefit society of the Paris newsvenders : Paris, April 10. Sire,—.-The undersigned newsvendere respectfully take the liberty to inform your Majesty that the decree by which the Minister of the Interior has prohibited the sale of the Liberto in the streets, far from having attained the object desired by the administration, which was to make that journal less read, has on the contrary only had the effect of exciting the curiosity of the public. The undersigned are seriously injured by the measure; their clients leave them to go to the book shops in all quarters of the capital where the Liberti is sold, and these they buy not only the Liberte but the other papers which they are in the habit of reading. In reality, there fore, the decree of the Minister of the Interior operates as a penalty, not against the Libel*, but against the news. vendors dray authorised to keep newspaper stalls in the streets. They are convinced that this cannot have been intended. They therefore humbly pray your Majesty to take into your gracious consideration that the tendency of this measure is to ruin them and their families, for the benefit of the booksellers, who are for the most part above want. Knowing the interest your Majesty takes in the condition of the working classes, they hope this simple statement of facts will induce your Majesty to take their grievances into consideration, and to allow them to sell the Literte as well as the librarians. They have the honour, arc. (Signed) The President HOUDIN. (Hells follow the signatures of the other members of the bure►u.) The Emperor immediately sent this petition to the Minister of the Interior for consideration. The Marquis de Lavalette must find it a very consider able bore. M. de Girardin's trial is fixed for Wednesday next. M. Glais-Bizoin, the deputy, has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Anenir Xatiossal : " La tyrannie retrempe les hommes." " Idees Napoleonieoncs," Vol. 1, p. 376. My dear M. Pcyrat -I am confident that the arbitrary act which interdicts the sale of the Arrow National in the streets will only augment the' number of your subscribers and readers. Pray put down my dame as a subscriber. Al.. Corte-Birour. The Franc treats the rumour of a coup d'etat, the suspension of the Chambers, and the with drawal of the liberal measures of January 19 as a calumnious invention of the Times. Your contem porary may be honourably acquitted of any inven tion in the matter. Rumours to that effect have been and are circulating here, and the encouragement given to the Arcadian Ma melukes, such as Baron Jerome David and M. Mathieu, tends but too much to lend probability to them. The government seems to be drifting without a compass, and changes its direc tion hourly. The Patric affirms to-night that the bills on the press and the right of public meeting are " not to be withdrawn," and that whatever changes may be made will not be a departure from the liberal spirit which presided at their initiative. bet tts hope this may be true ; but the times are so out of joint that one can be confident of nothing. The France pretends to know that the govern ment will very soon communicate to the chambers the result of the negotiations about Luxemburg. At the same time the Palrie is instructed to deny that any " notes" or " circulars" have been sent by the French government in relation to Luxem burg. How, then, have the " negotiations" been conducted, which, according to the France are already ripe for disclosure ? All these flying rumours, whatever semi-official garb they may assume, are thoroughly unreliable. The Belgian General Chazal, whose military tour in Germany has given rise to alarming sur mises, has been requested by the Prussian govern ment not to come to Berlin, in order not to countenance the supposition that an alliance was brewing between Prussia and Belgium. The last bulletin of the young Baron de Bud berg is thus worded : Material improvement—will soon be convalescent. (Signed) NILLATON. AMCHAMPAULT. AMERICA. (IT ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

In yesterday's sitting of the Congress, General Calonge, Minister for Foreign Affairs, replied as follows to Signor Martinez Guertoro, relative to the Tornado question : Senor Martinez Guertero will not fall to comprehend the great difficulty I experience in touching upon a ques tion which has entered an exceedingly critical phase. The government intend to lay before Congress very shortly all the documents that have been exchanged with the British Minister for Foreign Affairs upon the case of the Tornado. Congress will then be able, with all the correspondence in their posemaion, to judge whether the government has maintained what it believed to be consistent with the laws and the rights of the Spanish nation, and whether it has acted with the necessary energy and with due regard to the national honour. The laws have not been attacked or violated. There have been discussions and different modes of viewing the question, and each party has maintained its ground, but both governments have always observed the just deference which each has a right to expect from the other. The press, it it true, have imported some acrimony into the question, as also have some speakers in parlia ment, and I pray that Congress may not follow their fatal example. I beg Senor Martinez Guertero to be assured that the government is fully determined to cause the decision of its tribunals to be respected, since it be lieves that no government of • civilised country could resist so just a demand.

(mit ous SPLCIAL cosasspoirocsr.) NEW YORK, APRIL 1. The election in Connecticut has resulted in the defeat of the republicans. The democratic 11 candidate for the governorship has been elected by about 700 majority, and three out of the four members of Congress are democrats. The State Legislature contains a majority, but a diminished majority, of republicans as before. Of course, the republican majority in Congress can well afford this diminution of its strength. It has a super- 1 1 abundance of force already, and the election, therefore, in no way affects the relations of parties I , at Washington. It is mainly as an indication of,i popular sentiment that it excites interest, and as such the democratic papers are very jubi lant over it. The World of this city posi tively shrieks with delight, two-thirds affected I have so doubt, and pretends to consider it " the beginning of the great reaction," " the ! breaking of the ice," " the dawning of the day," and so forth. It prophesies that the other States will follow suit next fall, and that the follow ing year, at the presidential election, the radical party will be driven from power, and all men be happy once more. The truth is that the election has been, as far as the democrats are concerned, rather a compromise than a victory. It is of course a severe blow to the republicans to have a man of Hawley's antece dents, who served faithfully during the war, set aside for any civilian whatever, democrat or repub lican, for any appearance of disapproval of a soldier is looked upon as disapproval or regret for the I war, and to condemn the war is of course to eon- demn the republican party, which began, con- , tinued, and ended it. But then Mr. English, who has been elected, was from the outset a " war de mocrat," that is a democrat who supported the war, bet objected to some of the means used in carrying it on, such as the emancipation of the slaves, and the suspension of the habeas corpus. Nevertheless, he was not a pro-slavery man, properly so called. He voted for a bill in Con gress in 1863, for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, for which he was burnt in effigy by these very democrats of Connec ticut who have now elected him governor. At that time the party in Connecticut were furious advocates of unconstitutional and immediate peace, and of letting the South go if it pleased. In 1804, the year after the outburst of popular indignation against Mr. English, the democratic State conven tion nominated for the governorship Thomas H. Seymour, a copperhead, pro-slaveryinan, and seces sionist of the worst type, and came very near elect ing him. But they have learnt a lesson since then. Mr. English voted again for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia on the final reading of the bill, and afterwards voted for the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery everywhere, two acts which ought to have damned him for ever with his democratic constituents, and would have damned him, had they not made prodigious pro ' gress since then. The times have changed, and the. Connecticut democrats have felt the influence of the progress going on around them, and are now I glad to take English up, and boast of the very things in his career which led them three years ago to load him with execration. So that it can not be said that the republicans have been de feated. The democrats have simply met them half way. I have more than once attempted to give you an explanation of the circumstances which make Connecticut politically considered a peculiar State. The contest between the two par ties has been for years in this State a very close one, and all that is needed to incline the victory one way or other is for the party in power to alie nate or disgust eight hundred or one thousand people of lukewarm temperament and unsteady views. The occasional violence, and overbearing of the republican majority in Congress during the last year has doubtless done much to shake off the allegiance of the less steady members of the party in Connecticut, and driven them over to the other side. So that the result has really very little political significance. The injury it will do, if it does any injury, will be done through its effect on the South. It may possibly cheat many Southern politicians into the belief that a reaction is really beginning at the North, that the other States will go the same way next fall, and that there may after all be some use in waiting, and re fusing to organise under the late Reconstruction Act ; and that, in short,there is still some hope forthe Southand its friends at the Presidential election in 1868. But 1 need hardly say that this notion,if any body I seriously entertained it, would be a gross delusion. There is no sign in any quarter of any reaction, nor is there likely to be any reaction, if Congress does not commit worse errors than it has yet committed. Upon the reconstruction measures it has adopted, it has beyond question the hearty support of the country, and will continue to have it until the end. The rock on which it was moat likely to split—the Tariff Bill—has been avoided, and will probably not be revived. The democrats are, however, or pre tend to be, very jubilant and hopeful. There is some talk of an attempt, no doubt i stimulated by Mr. Johnson, to bring the constitu tionality of the Reconstruction Bill before the Supreme Court, by asking for an injunction to I restrain the President and the generals acting under him from executing it. But it is the opinion of the best lawyers, Reverdy Johnson, of Mary land, himself a democrat, for one, n hat the Supreme Court has no original jurisdiction iu a matter of this kind, and that, moreover, it would certainly refuse to interfere, even on appeal, on the ground I taken in the case of the " Don Rebellion " 1 in Rhode Island, that it had no jurisdiction in matters political, and that Congress was sole judge of the legitimacy of a State government. It would be very desirable, however, that such a case could be brought before the court, as its decision would put an end to the hopes with which many Southern politicians are still buoyed up, of an escape some how from the present very unpleasant situation. But that any decision of the court, no matter what, could in the least degree shake the position of Congress, is, of course, a ridiculous chimera. The Impeachment Committee is proceeding steadily with its work ; but there is still no reason to suppose that it will produce any report before December. In December the electioneering for the next presidency will begin, and then very little attention will be paid by anybody to the present occupant of the White House, or his misdeeds. Next after the Connecticut election, the leading incident of the week is the side of Russian America to the United States. It is Mr. Seward's work, and is one of those little strokes of policy which he has been preparing or aiming at every day during the last five years, and which are intended to make people forget his mistakes in domestic policy. [TWOPENCE Some efforts have been made by the Washington correspondents of those journals which support him and his policy to make the public believe the bar► gain very important, by spreading the report that the British were greatly chagrined by it. But this story has collapsed, and it may be fairly said that the acquisition excites very little attention ; that nobody thinks it of any groat importance. 'au. MADAME SCRUMS:WS RECITALS. The second, and last, of thew interesting per formances took place at St. James's-hall on Saturday afternoon, being the final appearance of this great pianist previous to her departure from England. The programme comprised various pianoforte solos, among which were three pieces by Robert Schumann, the most important being his "Etudes en forme de Variations," Op. 13. Her reception was enthusiastic, and she was encored in the gavotte of Bach and the sth " Pedal-Flugel " study of Robert Schumann. The instrumental pieces were varied by three of Sahumann's songs, sung by Madame Saintea Dolby, and accompanied by Mr. Benedict. One of theme pieces, " Moonlight," was encored.

Although the spring is rather backward, azaleas, roses, and cinerarisa combined to render the show very attractive. The roses were especially fine, being par ticularly well grown, and the flowers very perfect and of good colours. Those called " Maher Holmes" and " Alfred ' Colomb" attracted most attention among the dark I ones, and a prettier light-coloured than " *Wong Villermoz " can hardly be imagined ; while the de: Baste rose-coloured "Anna Alexia'," was of giant proportion.. As a relief to the brighter flowers, them was a good collection of lilies of the valley, ferns, orehida, meadow sweets, and miscellaneous or variegated-laved plants. Amongst the very many carious plants some attracted universal admiration. There was a fine collection of begonia, and bright variegated pelargo niums. There was some red May in pots, the plants being eight inches in height, and in full bloom. There were also some fine amaryllis, a new Strelitzia, a new rhododen dron called "Princes, Beatrice," " Nidularium Pine*" ' the centre leaves bright red, and a good red camellia, " Lavini Maggi rasa." Her Majesty the Queen of Den mark and her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-fittelitz visited the gardens early. The band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) were in attendance. _ .

The annual meetings of this institution were brought to a close on Saturday, when a very interesting paper" On the technical Education of Naval Architects" was read by Mr. Scott RusselL He contrasted the facilities provided in several oountries of Europe for the theoretical and prac tical education of youths intended for scientific pursuits, with those afforded in England, and expressed his convic tion that in the matter of technical education we are behind other civilised nations. Referring to the Naval School of Architecture at South Kensington, he said the founding of that institution three years ago supplied the great want that bad previously existed. The course of training extended over three years, and the time of the students was equally divided between the mastery of the principles of science, calculations, geometry, physics and all that concerns the theory of naval architecture on the one hand, and on the other practical study and ob servation in the workshop, the dockyard, and the factory, where they saw how dead matter was made to obey the will of the designer, the maker and the user. The school contained • lecture-room, a chemical laboratou, and a library, as well as • museum of naval models and mecha nical inventions. Alluding to the dockyards and ship building establishments he advised the students of naval architecture to avail themselves of the practical knowledge to be obtained in such places, and to learn everything relating to handicraft. At the conclusion of the paper Mr. Reid, the chief constructor of the navy, stated that in the dockyards the students from the school of naval architec tare, got every assistance to enable them to acquire the practical knowledge which they so much needed. He was satisfied with the theoretical teaching in the school at I South Kensington, the success of which, he said, was in a great measure owing to the eminent fitness of Mr. Idersefield, the principal. Mr. Mersefield, in the course of some remarks, complained that our schools did not give the education required by youths intended for practical professions, and expressed the opinion that I the learning acquired at Eton, Harrow, Winche-.ter, ke.. was only fit for country squires and parsons. Papers were then read "On Recent Improvements in the Calculation of the Statical Stability of Ships," by Mr. Mersetield ; "On the Practical Application of Dr. 1 Volley's rule to the usual calculations of a Ship," by the same gentleman ; and " On Differential Friction &sties," by Mr. It. D. Napier, all of which were of a purely technical character. A com munication was received from the Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, regretting his unavoidable absence from the meeting. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Society of Arts for the use of the hall. POOR R ATM IN POPLAR. —Thu poor rate for the parish of All Saints, Poplar, in which there is great dis tress existing, was Is. 11 in the pound for the last quarter. On Saturday Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police court, was asked to allow and sign a rate for the ensuing quarter of 2s. '2ii. in the pound, exactly double the former one, and there is a prospect of a further increase. The new rate, if it is all collected, will produce 24,0001., of which the Fist and West India Dock Company will have to pay 8,002/. Os. 64. for their docks, basins, warehouses, sheds, and machinery. The whole of the last rate has not been collected, and the distraints on poor-rate payers have been numerous. - - ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-I NN-ROAD.—The number of patienta relieved et this hospit.d during the week ending April 13, was 3,373, of which 1,114 were new CMS. _ DR.
