The supporters of that Resolution in the How of Commons have done their best to divert attention from its exact terms ; and ovt of doors it is difficult to meet with any person who has taken the trouble to read it. Almost everybody has been content to take its pur port, at second hand, from speeches of " Honourable " Members," or from " Leaders" of the Times. We therefore re-print the Resolution, as it stands on the Notice Rook of the Rousso( Commons, in order that our readers may be enabled to form their own opinions of its scope and tendency. The Resolution is as follows " That this Home, whilst, in its present state of " information, it abstains from expressing an opinion " on the policy of any Proclamation which may have " been issued by the Govannos-CiannsAL of India, " in relation to Oode, has sees with regret and " salons apprehension that her MAIIIM'S Govern " meat have addressed to the Gonixos-Oentiut, " through the Secret Committee of the Conn of " Directors, a Despatch condemning in strong ternm " the conduct of the Govennon-Ganxisi., and is of " opinion that such a coarse on the part of the " Government most tend, in the present circum " stances of India, to produce the most prejudicial effect, by weakening the authority of the °overtime- GENERAL, and encouraging the further resistance of those who are in arms against us." Now the first remark, suggested by a perusal of this Resolution, is, that it affirms a deliberate false hood. It is not true that the Government Despatch "condemns in strong terms the conduct of the " Goverwor-Beware!." The censure in the Despatch is confined to the policy which it appeared from a raft-Proclamation which bad rearised Govern ment, unaccompanied by any explanation, that the GOVRRAOR-GENERAL intended to adopt, with reference to the province of Onto alone, after the fall of Lneknow. Not a word of angers wee breathed in the Government Despatch upon " the " conduct of the GOVE RIC o 1-0 EN am L." The Despatch merely blamed an act which he had in contempla tion only, and exhorted him to abstain from com mitting it. If the Government had "condemned "the conduct" of the Go %IMMO a-G for MIA L, they would have condemned what by general consent is admitted to have been on the whole creditable to him. To affirm in general terms that Government have " con demned the conduct" of the GOVRRNOR-GENZRAL is to affirm what is not true in order to create a pew judice against them. To make the Resolution square with fact it ought to affirm that Government have " condemned the intention of the GovEitivol-Gmvi " SAL to confiscate all the land of nude." The real qoestion raised by Mr. Cnatiermes Resolution is Have Government dam right in condemning the policy announced in Lord Ciorpto's draft-Proclamation P Before Govern ment is censored for condemning the policy which Lord CAeNtNG had intimated his inten tion to pursue in Onde, it is necessary to inquire whether that policy was laudable or blameable. Common sense and common justice are alike out raged by a proposal to " abstain from expressing *an opinion on the policy of any Proclamation " ithich may have been issued by the GOVERNOR " akseoAt of India in relation to Oude," and, at the .same time to censure Government for " can " del nning in strong terms" the policy of smith Peoclamation. If the policy of the Proclamation is sound and honourable to Ragland, then undoubt edly the Government deserve censure for condemn ing it. Bet if, on the contrary, the policy of the Proclamation is unjust and dishonourable to Eng land, then with equal certainty the Government deserve praise for condemning it. Whether Govern ment deserve praise or censure for condemning the policy of the Proclamation depends entirely upon the character of that policy. Before the House of Com mons is entitled either to praise or to blase Go vernment for its condemnation of the policy of the Proclamation, it matt declare either that the policy is just and bonoarable or that it is the renew. To proceed otherwise would be ludicrously illogical and flagitiously unjust. t ic . w what i; the character of the policy in ques tion To enable our readers to judge for them selves, we reprint all of the Proclamation that con tains the expression of the policy condemned. " The GovnurOl-OZNEILAL further proclaims to " the people of Oude that . . . the proprietary " right in the mil of the province is confiscated to " the British Government, whien will disperse of that " right in such manner as may stem fitting. To " acme Talookdare, Chiefs, sod Lusdholders, with " their followers, who shall make immediate sob " mission to the Chief Commissioners of On& . . . " the Govennon-Gammut promises that their lives " and batman *ball be safe. . . . But as re " prim any farther indulgence which may be " extended to them, and the condition in which 0 they may hereafter be placed, they must throw " themselves upon the merry And justice of the " British Government" Assuredly this is plain speakiag. " The proprio " tary right in the soil is confiscated." The British Government " will dispose of that right is such " manner as may seem fltthsg." All inhaM tante of Gods who " maks immediate 'abatis " aka" are to have the promise el the Oovaarroa- GE-utast—not that their proprietary right in as soil shall be restored-Ims that "their lives and " honours shall be safe." Beyond the bare promise of misty el lib and asearity from dishonour (that is. from imprisonment and trassepartatios beyond ass) nothing is promised them. " Amy farther indulgence " that ie extended to them "—that o the restorstiaa of their propristaryright—slepasie spas the "messy " and justses "—which, being interpreted, mesas THE Z.PRESS, TfriyitSDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1858.. " the arbitrary will"—of the British Gagmennient t This is Confiscation ; no verbal quibble can Strip it Of that odious character. The "floptistney right int! " the soil " of Oade may be an equitable right or a legal right (to use our own law jargon), but a sub stantial right of some kind it must be, or it could set be esedieseted. And this right is to be wrested from—net only those who are actually in aims against us—not only from chiefs and talookdars— but from every one of the five millions of inhabitants of Oude who has any " proprietary " right in the soil." Even those who " come in* and make submission are only promised " life " and honour ;" they are not to have their land again. The decree of oonhscation is sent out against a whole people. Every inhabitant of Oude must lose his " proprietary right in the soil" if herons* prove himself innocent, and may loos it even though he do. The first principle of English jurisprudence —of natural equity—that the accuser is bound to prove the guilt of the accused, not the accused to prove his own innocence, is wantonly and cruelly re versed. In the whole annals of confiscation and proscription a more revolting document has not been recorded. Its own language condemns it. Its English is unsusceptible of any other interpretation. And the whole public of India—natives and Euro peens alike—have understood it in the sense of un mitigated and wanton spoliation. Now, we are not going to plead in extenuation of Lord Eusenosocon's unwise reminiscences of the original annexation of Onds. We are not going to say one word in favour of the dictatorial and rheto rical language of his Despatch. Neither question is raised by Mr. CAIDWILL'S Resolution. That Reso lution merely censures Government because they have condemned the GOVERNOI-01INLI4L for pro posing to confiscate " the proprietary right in the " soil of the province "—the whole proprietary right —the proprietary right of every landowner. We say the Resolution's censure is levelled against the Government's condemnation of this proposed confis entice, for this proposal to confiscate is the only weed or deal of the Goveamoa-Ozsmi. that has been ovidoassd by Oovornment. Talk, indeed, a; Mr. CARDWELL'S Resolution hy pocritically does, of theClocerninent Despatch having a tendency to " weaken the authority of the " Goveartoe-Garrinut. and encourage the further " resiatanoe of those in arms against as! " Why, we have It in evidence that the confiscation clause of Lord CANNING'S Proclamation has already "weakened the authority" of the British Government, and confirmed " those who are in arms " against tur in their determination to resist to the uttermost. If a majority of the House of Commons adopt Mr. Ca.anwatt's Resolution they will sanc tion—ea far as a Resolution of one branch of the Legislature can—the spoliatory decree of the Go moroa-Geetim.. They will aietwedly take the first step towards the ultimate lose of our great Eastern Dependency. Sir G C. Lewis declared, on Monday night, that " Re could not conceive any " sane man imagining that Lord CANNING meant to " oonfieoate the rights of all the owners and men " piers of the land. . . . Such • policy was " unknown to modern times, and no sane man could " suppose Lord CANNING to have contemplated it." And apes thin aasumption Sir G. C. Lawn declared that be would vote for Mr. C•anwittes motise. But Sir G. C. LEWIS meat now be aware that Lord CANNING'S Proclamation is unseeeeptible of any interpretation but that which he declared it would be insanity to attribute to it, and that in no other Ni.. lee it been anderateed is India. We are, therefore, entitled confidently to expect that Sir G. C. Lewis will at least abstain from esesuring Government for condemning a policy which he thought so abominable that it would be 111011SIESMS to impute it to any modern statesman. The same atetinence we are entitled to expect from Mr. Ser jeent Dakar, Colonel SYKES, and other gleams who jagged their intention to support Mr. CARDWELL'S Reeektion, on the plea that it was impossible to session that Lord CANNING could contemplate a *ley et epoliatiee. And in general we implore all independent Liberal members not to inflict on their party the 'three, of having supported Mr. CARD- Imes Jesuitical and dangerous Resolution. Than unmet be two opinions as to the para mount importance of the question raised by Sir Ousts' NAPIII on Tuesday night. The decision of the peat political duel now depending in Parlia ment is of absorbing interest to the combatants im mediately concerned in it; but the country at large regards with oonaiderable equanimity the progress of the party conflict whose issue is the sole topic of conversation in Pall-mall. It is otherwise with regard to our national defences. To the quidnunc. and the cowries, the motion of Sir CHARLES NAPIER for an inquiry as to the best means of manning our Navy presented itself in no other light than as an impertinent intrusion arm the infinitely more important ques tion whether Mr. DIII/ALLI or his opponents are to sit an a particular side of the House of Commons. The people of England will probably I be of • different opinion. To them it may occur that few subjects of investigation are of more paramount importance than the means of procuring a ready and adequate supply of able seamen fur manning those floating bulwarks, which are after al! the surest defences of English freedom. No one pretends that oar present situation is a satisfactory one. People the least of all, disposed to indulge in false alarms cannot ignore the fact that at this moment great dillcolty is experienced in manning oar Channel fleet. Since lest October the Hone Guards, we are told, has enlisted 50,000 men, while the Admiralty has not been able, in the same time, to man two line-of-battle ships and two frigates. The Diadem was commimioned on the 19th of An ima, 1866 ; she did not get her full complement of men till the 13th of last July. We have only tan sail-of-the.line, two frigates and a corvette at Spit head, and they are not half manned. The Marl borough has been four or five months in fitting out; the Euryslus, the Renown, and the Racoon have been still longer. Now, surely there is something wrong here. What has the Admiralty been about ? How oomee it that all the eminent statesmen, " Whigs and Tories, Peen and Commoners, who have sat at the head of that Board," have not been able to fall upon an efficient working plan for the manning of our Navy ? The Board, no doubt, is, and foe ages has been, one of the most favourite abodes of Cireunalocatioa and Routine. The cold odleialies that disdains every suggestion, and treats every triventor as ?now; fade an enemy oe swindler, has long been the presiding genius at mar Ministry of the Marine. The double and frequently conflicting machinery of &menet House and White. hall is still kept tip, in spite of protest and remain strum, far no other discoverable motive than that of involving public business in the poorer marnen of official mystification, and supplying the proper quantity of official patronage for clerks, messengers, housekeepers, and junior lords. Still, is the rougher days of the great war, when Nzi.sox, our Roglish sea-king, rods the undisputed lard of the coma, this lumbering. patremage-eidden Board did, in its rude way, contrive to man the theta whose atiltievements are the the history of our naval sepremae Page in worked, pressrusg, and workestit with aAL Another' age has come and other manners. Impressment has, very properly, ceased to be an available resource, and our Admiralty has not yet had the wit or the will to supply us with a satisfactory substitute. What the Board won't do or can't do for itself it is absolutely indispensable that others must be found to do for it. It is creditable to Sir JOHN PAKINGTON that he has at once admitted this necessity, and has granted to Sir CHARLES NAPIEI the immediate appointment of a Royal Commission to consider and report on the best means of manning our Navy. Without endeavouring in any way to prescribe to the members of this Commission the topics to which their inquiry should be directed, or the course it should pursue, it is impossible to forbear allusion to one point most properly mimed by Lord C. PAGET. Why should the country be bur dened with a large annual charge for the transport of troops in private ships, while the same service might be so much better and more economically per formed by men-of-war ? Why should a fact of this kind be possible :—a screw line-of-battle ship is lying at Liverpool ready to go to sea, and yet Government takes up, at the same port, a merchant ship of 1,600 tons for the conveyance of troops to Ireland! Not only is this an indefensible waste of the public money, it has also, as Lord C. PAGET very clearly pointed out, an important bearing on the question of keeping up to a proper mark the manning of the Navy. Lest year we spent more than 400,0001. in hiring seamen for the transport service who would not be available for the purposes of war. How much more profitably might half this sum have been spent in keeping up men-of-war transports. This is only one instance out of hundreds that might be adduced to show that the great thing wanted at the Admiralty is a deliberate and resolute application of good sense, unparalysed by the deadening influence of routine, to the new wants of the new time. The question raised by Sir CHARLES NAPIER is not a question to be trifled with. The tremors of the alarmist are ridi colons, but the apathy of the over-confident is criminal. The wise and earnest lover of his country avoids both extremes. He will not ignore, but he will not exaggerate, the importance of the fact that the man of Streabourg, of Boulogne, of the coup-cretat—the man who cannot be calculated— the man of the star; the man who in one of the most solemn crises of his fate declared that he had a defeat to avenge and a cause to uphold—that defeat being Waterloo and that cause Napoleonism—is now at the head of 600,000 armed men, has a marine force of 70,000 trained seamen, and a fleet ready for sea comprising 40 screw-steamers of the line. The Englishman who reflects on these things will find no ground for apprehension, but much reason for vigilance ; if he does not happen to belong to a poli tical club he may even be inclined to admit that an instant inquiry into the best means of manning the British Navy is a question of almost as much moment as the amount of the majority for or against Govern ment on Friday night or Saturday morning. LORD CANNING'S EXPLANATION or THE COE FISC.ATION CLAUSE.—Dstsrmised to leave nothing in doubt, the Governor-General has instructed the Government Secretary to address to the administra tion of Oude a despatch explanatory of his Procla mation. In this despatch we are told:—lit. That " this proclamation is addressed to the chiefs and inhabitants of Onde." 2nd. With respect to those who are free from the suspicion of having put to death or injured Europeans, " to those men their lives an guaranteed and their honour ;" that is, in native acceptation, they will neither be transported screw seas nor placed in prison. 3rd. That those who surrender and give security for their peaceable behaviour may be allowed to go home; but that "the permission to return to their homes must not be considered as a re-instalment of them in the pos session of their lands, for the deliberate disposal of which the Government will preserve itself un fettered."

(nom ovi owx PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The melancholy news of the death of the Duchess of Orleans, although known in Paris yesterday at 6 o'clock, was not noticed by any of the morning papers except the Debate and the Univers. The Paine says this evening : _ _ • • • The Duchessof Orleans was the head of the exiled family. Her counsels corned with them the authority belonging to the superiority of her mind and her position se a mother. On more than one occasion she showed a rare firmness of character, more especially at a moment when there was an expectation of effecting a union between the two branches of the family, separated by the revolution of 1830. She opposed it in the name of her husband's memory and her eon's honour; and the fusion which had been so carefully prepared by many eminent statesmen received the soap de trade from the hand of a woman. Her death makes a great void at Claremont. In France it will only Inspire I regret for a premature loss, and respect for this new and greater grief of a family which has experienced so many sad reverses. Count Walewaki's grand dinner was more than commonly brilliant. There were present the Queen of Holland and suite, the Prince of Wurtemburg and suite, the Prince Napoleon and suite, the Princess Mathilde and suite, and almost the entire corps diplomatique. The Emperor and Empress and their illustrious guests are going to see Madame Ristori this evening. Medea will be played " by command." The telegram announcing that the Marquis de Turgot had taken leave of the Queen of Spain and was about to return to France is contradicted, and it is stated that he will accompany her Majesty in her voyage to Valencia and Alicante. There will be an election on May 30 for a vacant seat in the Corps Legislatif for the department of the Orne. The government candidate will be op posed. The Bourse has been dull, and without any marked feature. The Rente fell 6c. for account, closing at 69fr. 60c. That was also the last price for cash, being the same as yesterday. Mobilier rose 2fr. 60c. There was a considerable movement at one time in the Southern railway, in consequence of a rumour that the company had signed a treaty with the Canal Company. This was afterwards de nied, and the shares declined, and closed with a slight fall. All the other lines were from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr. lower. Bulletins of the state of M. de Pene are sent to Paris several times every d►y. He lies upon • miserable mattress in the little auberge at Peoq, to which he was carried from the ground, his physi cians being of opinion that his removal at present would cause instant death. It ap pears that when he fell he remained stretched on the grass for • full hour. Although the blood was flowing from his wounds in torrents, he was, pursuant to invariable French practice, "immediately bled." The author of " Fallacies of the Faculty" would probably have something to say of this treatment. A litter was made up with a table and a bed by the help of some woodmen. The removal to the inn took nearly an hour, and during the transit a small shower of rain fell, which refreshed him, and according to one medical opinion, perhaps saved his life. The last bulletin, dated this morning, states that his countenance is becoming yellow. This is owing to the liver being pierced. His state is most dangerous, but hope is not entirely abandoned. Both military and civil inquiries are going on, touching the conduct of the officers, but the proceedings as usual are secret, and nothing has yet transpired as to what is likely to result from them.

While standing there a number of Irish bricklayers labourers, who reside in the courts near, and who, when on the drink, are a terror to the neighbourhood, approached, and without receiving any provocation, at once commenced rowing. Ons of them, named Cornelius Cronin, a strong-built ,onng fellow, about eighteen years of ego, residing at 13, James-street, St. Pancras, went up to the deceased, and, in company with his companions, struck him a violent blow which knocked him sores distance. The deceased, whose name is Thomas Howard, fell with his back on the granite curb, and his head came in contact with the wall. its was at once rendered seamless, and died immediately. Assistance was quickly at hand, and the poor fellow was conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's inn -read, bat the examination by the surgeons was of so avail, the vital spark having fled. As soon as the usallants Cornelius Cronin and Humphrey Shay, as well es their companions, who were a little the worse for drink, saw the fatal result, they made efl, but police mutable' Oreathurst, 209 0, and Anita, 202 0, succeeded at owe in apprehending the two named above. It would seem that before meeting with the deceased, the prisoners had threatened and endeavoured to get up a row with the police, but being baffled in that they fell upon the deemed, who is in the same line of businew as themselves, and to whom, because he was employed by another muter, they had taken an antipathy. The deceased was, it is stated, a very quiet inoffensive man, and has led a wife and family to deplore his untimely lose. SINGULAR CASE OF ALLEGED INSANITY.—COIL. MUNION OP Lue•cr.-11d. morning a oomMblitioll of lunacy wee opened at the Grey's-Inn Cotree-house, Holborn, I on the Bey. Mr. Leech, who was alleged to be insane from Frdelusion. The ass appeared to have created a i ca deal of interest , from the feet that after three days' Inquiry one former occasion, the jury was discharged with out giving a verdict. To-day twenty-two special jurors were empanelled before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, in order to try the quesdon of the alleged insanity, and the rev. gen tleman was in atrendence, for whom Mr. Montagu Cham bers a Mr. Bovill, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Col proceeded to open the oar on the part of the petitioner, the aged mother of Mr. Leach. He stated the otroamstences, end maid that Mr. Leach bad bean labouring ender whin religions delusions, and his mod mother was wines for his safe custody; he, unfortunately, looked on his parent es his enemy, but the court and jury would be able to deckle the matter. After a very calm and temperate opening evidence was called he =et of the corondados. Dr. W inslow was the first witness In =swat to Mr. Coleridge, he said he bad had Mot_ e x perience In OW* of insanity, and considered Mr. Leach in a state of unsound mind. He trot saw him in 1866, and at subsequent period.. He was labouring under "religious delusions," and, in his opinion, in an acute state of insanity. There are numerous witnesses to be examined, and the cam is expected to occupy two or three days. EXPULSION OF A BIRMINGHAM GENTLEMAN FROM Fetherce.—A few days ego Mr. C. Mansfield Ingleby, of this town (than whom a more peaceful or loyal subject dose not exist In her Mejesty's dominions) left home for a visit to Belgium. Having provided himself in London with one of the maid Foreign-office pseeports, and having, as he inno cently supposed, had all the seceseary forma/ides duly attended to, he took passage in a steamboat for Calls, inteadkg to reach Belgium by the coast road passing through D=kirir, which is the route that involves the least amount of sea voyage. On arriving at Calais, and being aged for him credentials, he produced them, with ea much confidence in their potency as Arras felt when he presented his golden bough to the gendarmerie of mother closely guarded imperial region. But, to Mr. Inglaby's dismay, his documents were_pronooneecl to be in some formal par ticular Imperfect. We are sot aware what the oreneaht was that had beau committed. but some requisite blotch or other had not been made on the purport. The col:mpire= was Mr. Ingleby's immediate transfer to durance vile in a room of the Calais Custom House, where he was left to his own meditation until pest midnight. He was then taken to a cabin near the shore, and at two o'clock in the morning was put into an epee boat end rowed two miles out to ma, where a steam-boat was lying at anchor. His next penance was to climb the skin of We vessel, and, on the time for its de parture arriving, be was conveyed beck to the °natty whence he came."

SERIOUS COLLISION IN THE FRITH OP CLYDE.— On Monday night, about twelve o'clock, the steamer Thistle, plying between Glasgow and Londonderry, came into such violeat oollision with the eteam-tug Duke of Northumber land, that the latter mink alined instantaneously. According to the statements of the Thistle officials, the accident occurred under the following ohcumetances —The Thistle, which is a lane and powerful steamer, left Londonderry as usual as Monday afternoon, with a heavy cargo of goods, cattle, he., and numerous passengers, and proceeded all right, on her way to Glasgow, till midnight, when, near the Cumber" Light, the mate, whose watch It was, observed the white and red lights of • steamer coming in as opposite dirsetion. He at once, in terms of regulationr, gave the word to port, which was done, and persisted in for about a quarte r an hour, when the Thistle was struck by the other mini on the larboard bow. After ascertaining that the damage to the Thistle was confined to the tearing away of a plate, the attention of all was directed to the somewhat frail craft which had recoiled from the shock. The eight being very dark, nothing but her lights could be discovered ; and these, after a few seoonds, suddenly disappeared In such a way as to leave no doubt that she had gone to the bottom. The rap- Min of the Thistle sailed round and round the spot for a considerable time, but nothing could be heard or seen, and he was at length obliged to proceed without secerteining the fate of the crew.

But no virgin appeared, though the girl re- indeed tome time In the grotto in a son of testacy, and her lips moved se if in conversation. Some persons believed the vidtatioa real, and made offerings in the grotto ; mimes treated it as a piece of imposture. The prefect of the dopedh meet appears to Mot this latter opinion,as he has just given orders that the oParings in the grotto 41 be removed by the police, that the memos who pretend to see Amiens shed' be sent to the hospital at Tarbes, and he subjected to medical treatment, and that thole who spread the -*aboard tales" of heavenly visitations shall be prompouted for prop gating &he news. hcanDALOutt CONDUCT OF A COACIIMAN.—" A singular affair," mays the Cowrie, tie Paris, " hr just Won place at the country meidence of M. de M—, situated a bar • leagues from Paris, one of the members of whose &IC:: dauehter of great personal attractions, and about el years of ego.
