The Imperial Commissioner, Muatapha Pacha, has returned from Crete. The representatives of Franoe, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Italy are jointly pressing the Porte to grant an armistice to the Cretans, and to consult the Christian population whether they would prefer an autonomy or to be annexed to Greece. The English ambassador, acting apart, only recommends an autonomy. At present the Porte refuses both these propositions, but would probably consent to an autonomy under a guarantee of the great powers. Large reinforcements are being sent to the Greek frontiers, where a serious outbreak is shortly apprehended. The generalissimo of the Turkish army, Omar Pachs, is going to take the command in chief. 20,000 militia have been called out, and great ap prehensions are entertained for the internal tran quillity of Constantinople, and the importation of arms has been prohibited.

B.lnnumy Emma A fearful panic at the Bourse, caused by the ap prehension of immediate war, is the all absorbing news of the day. It might have been very reason ably argued that the despatches from the Hague, showing that the Dutch government washed its hands of the Luxemburg business, and leaving it to be inferred that the King of Holland, finding what a row his bargain with France had made, was willing to rescind it, would have had a tranquil lising effect. If the King of Holland was no longer ready to sell there was a capital oppor tunity for the Emperor Napoleon to say that his honour did not compel him to buy, and so get out of the disagreeable entanglement without war. Many people came down to the Bourse with this idea, and made purchases, which sustained prices for a time, but amidst violent oscillations the downward tendency predominated, and the closing quotations are undoubtedly war prices. Never theless I continue to think that the Emperor must " cave in," and that there will be no war this year. It is with him that the decision rests—the Prus sian mind is made up. I have already stated this decidedly as the result of all my information, and the true construction of M. do Bismarck's speech. I have seen to-day a letter from Berlin, written by a I personage in a position to have the best information, in which it. is stated that the question whether the " Imperial dentist was to be allowed to draw a tooth from the Prussian western jaw" was a sub ject of long and anxious deliberation. The final and decisive resolution is " hands off." The Minister of War has given it as his opinion that Prussia cannot defend the Rhine without the pos session of the fortress of Luxemburg, and that possession she is resolved to maintain against all comers. War rumours crop up in all directions. It is said that Marshal MacMahon, Duke of Magenta, has been telegraphed for from Algeria, that Marshal Canrobert has gone on a mission of observation to Strasbourg, and (more important perhaps than all) that Major Luise!, one of the most distinguished officers in the French army, who was for a long time military secretary to the Emperor Maximilian, has been sent in hot haste to tho Rhine. I had to-day in my hands letter written from his prison in Abyssinia by our unfortunate consul, Mr. Duncan Cameron. There was little in it. lie charged the friend to whom it was written with some private messages. Referring pleasantly to his forlorn condition he said, " I have now been so long an attache par is jambes (a pun upon his chains) that I think I deserve to be made an am bassador." I suppose there are cogent state rea sons why England, with all her might, can do nothing for him. But I should really like an op portunity of privately asking a minister whether if three regiments and a battery of artillery were sent secretly on an expedition to Abyssinia, with a good commissariat, they would not scatter to the winds and walk through all the armies of the wretch who reigns in that country. The tailors on strike will hold a second general meeting at Montmartre to-morrow (Sunday). It is said that M.

BERLIN, APRIL 6, EVIINING. • The governments of the North German Confede ration h►ve resolved not to sanction the resolution of the North German Parliament, granting remuneration to the members of the parliament. An animated debate took place in to-day's sitting of the parliament upon the section of the draught-constitution referring to the federal mili tary system. Art. 56, fixing the peace-strength of the federal army at 1 per cent. of the population o[ 18 and Art. 57, introducing the Prussian military legis lative code throughout the Bond, were adopted with an amendment proposed by Herr von Forckenbeck, ordering that a new military bill be laid before parliament as soon as the reorganisation of the federal army is com pleted. Art. 58, which refers to the contributions of the different States towards the costs of the army, was adopted as amended by a proposal of Herr von Forekenbeck, ac cording to which the contributions are to continue only until Dec. 31, 1871. An amendment, proposed by Prince Solnis-Lych, that the military budget should be settled every seven years, was rejected. The amendment proposed by General von Moltke,that the contributions now proposed for the maintenance of the federal army should continue until the promulgation of • new special law, was also re jected. During the sitting General von Roon, Minister of War, made a speech in which he declared that it would be impossible to carry out the army reform in four years. The military reorganisation, he said, must be settled by law, and must remain • matter quite independent of party changes. What the government asks most not be looked upon se a compromise, but as its minimum demand. General von Roon agreed condition►lly to the amendment of Prince Solma-Lych. General Steinmetz made a speech in which he disputed a statement to the effect that the expenditure for the army was unproductive. "The army," he said, "provides the power to protect our mercantile interests. Without the victories of last year Prussia would now be reduced to the rank of Branden burg, and therein is displayed the productivity of the expenditure for the army."

One of the best symptoms of the recovery by the Southerners of their right reason was afforded by a meeting of coloured people which was held in Columbia, South Carolina, on Monday of last week, and which was addressed by both black and white speakers from the same platform. It is true that this is a phenomenon which has been wit nessed before ; the peculiarity of this meeting is that the white speakers were amongst the most haughty, stiff-necked, and determined of the old planter class, men who fought till fighting was useless, and who have ever since they laid down their arms breathed nothing but bitterness and rage against the government and the North—such as Wade Hampton, De Sausaine, Talley, Arthur, and Cibbes. Two of these gentlemen (Messrs. Arthur and 13 ibbes) had been invited by the coloured people to address them, but the others were volun teers. Only abstracts of the speeches have reached us, bat even these are enough to make one stare. The is the report as it appears in the Columbia Phanir : General Hampton spoke of the vast importance of the present movement—not only to the coloured, but to the white man. He advised the freedmen to give their friends at the South a fair trial, and if they were found wanting, it was then time enoug h t o gu a b roa d f or sympat h y. It was to their interest to build up the South ; for us the country prospered, so would they prosper. The present state of affairs was not brought about by the action of the Southern people, white or black, therefore neither was responsible for it. Hon. E. J. Arthur said—The occasion of this celebration is one in which you have had no agency. It is not the act of the white men of your country. It has been con• Tarred upon you by the Northern Congress, and he hoped it would be the means of enlightening and improving their mental and moral condition. He, in conjunction with the white citizens of the South, wou ld endeavour to assist them by all the means in their power to accomplish that end. They are politically the equals of the whites, and education will go far to make them morally and mentally so. It is true that many of the whites are deprived of the political rights which the coloured men will enjoy, but that should not, and will n o t, create envious and unkind feelings. He concluded by advising them to regard the white men who have been born and reared among them as friends ; let no harsh feelings exist between us ; look to each other's welfare and happiness ; and last, though not least. look to your educational and moral improve ment. Wm. H. Talley, Fel., said that they had heard that the interests of the white man and coloured man of the South were one and the same. They are parts of the same society, inhabiting the same land, under the nine sun, breathing the acme atmosphere and if the lessons of history and reason taught anything, they taught that, under such circumstances, the two races must pio sor perish together. It was porible at this im thee to mark out and recommend any particular line of policy. Everything was in doubt and confusion. The country can know no ptosperit without peace, and that end can be attained only by carding all elements of strife, and promoting harmony and ooneert of action. The advice which common sense gives to the coloured population of the South in the present emergency is, to try those of the community whom you have known—those who have hitherto proved themselves worthy of confidenoe—those who have the same interest. Unite with those. If these deceive you, it will then be time enough to experiment on the sympathies of strangers. He said he knew h e expressed the feel* of the intelli gent white men of the South when he said that they che rished no semblance of hostility toward the coloured man on account of altered circumstances. The enemies of the South will endeavour to foment dissensions and jealousies for the purpose of still further tear*, weakening, and plundemng our already desolated land; but if the Southern people, white and coloured, stand united, there is ground to hope that our children, if not ourselves, may enjoy • keg period of tranquillity and peace, of prosperity end happiness. When one remembers that Wade Hampton is the very personification of " Southern principles"—of Secession, caste pride, slaveholding, and " chi valry"—that he belongs to one of the best families in South Carolina, fought bitterly all through the war, had his house burnt and his estate devas tated at Columbia when Sherman passed through the city, and that when he laid down his arms he retired sulkily to his plantation, muttering curses on Yankees and Yankeedom—one may well stand aghast at his appearance on the platform of a negro meeting, holding out the hand of political fellowship to the freedmen. We are apparently about to have another "Fenian scene" on the Canadian border. United States troops have been sent up there during the last few days in considerable numbers, and the border towns are once more the scene of Fenian preparations. I am afraid that this is the natural result of the circumstances attending the suppres sion of the last outbreak. The leniency shown to the prisoners convicted in Canada was unfortu nately ascribed by the Brotherhood here to fear, and the scandalous Banks' performance in the House of Representatives. The President, I have no doubt, meant to do well when be first began operations against them, but the action of Congress forced him, in view of the coming elections, to change his course. The Fenian " troops" were sent comfortably back to their homes, which, per haps, humanity and sound policy required ; hut the prosecutions commenced against the Fenian leaders were abandoned in a most discreditab!e way, which humanity and sound policy did not require ; and, to crown all, Roberts, the president, was received on the floor of the house, during the de bates on the Banks report on the neutrality laws. Now that the election is over, there appears to be no disposition on the part of the republican party in Congress at least to countenance the movement, but when we get nearer the next presidential elec tion, I am afraid I shall not have the same story to tell. I have only to repeat now what I said many months ago, that my belief is, that un less some settlement can be made of the Irish diffi culty, trouble of a serious character will arise out of it between this country and Great Britain. The Irish here are multiplying at an enormous rate. Every week sees them land by the thousand, and their gregariousness and dislike of agriculture huddles them together in large masses in the towns, where they form communities apart, which are not acted on to any considerable extent by American influences or ideas. Until within a few years the Irish voters, as a general rule, voted with the democratic party, and occupied themselves with American questions. I do not remember any case in which they threatened to form a party of their own, except during the school controversy carried on by Archbishop Hughes with the Board of Education in this city, in which ho made the same efforts in favour of de nominational education which his confreres are now making in Ireland. On the whole, Irishmen acted in all political matters as Americans, and not as Irishmen. Within a few years, however, they have grown numerous enough to be able in the present close condition of par. ties at the North almost to turn the scale. In some States—Connecticut and New York, for instance—they are able, except in times of great political excitement, when the republicans make desperate efforts, almost to turn the scale, and they now receive each year a formidable addition to their forces. They may be said to occupy at present • position very similar to that of the " Irish brigade" in the House of Commons • few years ago, and use their power in very muck the same way—that is solely with reference to the effect of their vote on Irish questions. By voting together, as they are learning to do, and keeping clear of all interest in purely American affairs, the day is not far distant, if it has not come already, when they will be able to set up ' parties in power, and pull them down at their pleasure, and all argument, as you know, is wasted on them. Their only idea of political duty is that of voting with their leaders. If they reached the United States more gradually, American society would have time to swallow and digest them. But coming as they are now coming, it is impossible to do anything but endure them. To expect that they will not be every year more and more courted by party politicians would be to deceive one'sself grossly, and I confess I think it would be the part of statesmanship for English ministers to be pre- I pared for the day when, if Irish grievances are not settled, they will precipitate this country into hos tilities with England. All Americana that I bays ever met hate and despise the Irish, and writhe under their presence. The young generation of Americans in particular is growing up with •hearty dislike of them, and the Irish, it is right to say, leave nothing undone that is likely to make them odious to their neighbours. Their rowdyism, drunkenness, turbulence, and crime, their intole rance while roaring for liberty, and their brutal mode of displaying it—witness the attack on the negroes during the New York riots, and their equally brutual attack on the Chinese the other day in California— the corrupting influence they are exercising on politics, and the insolent use they make of their political power whenever they fuel they are in a majority, as in this city, are gradually developing all over the country a feeling towards them of the deepest repugnance. On Patrick's-day here every thing is dune that can be done to enable them to celebrate the day with comfort and effect. The streets aro kept clear for their procession, the mayor and other city officials pans it in review, and the principal buildings are dressed with flags. At the last celebration, a few days ago, a truck hap pened to get in the way, and the driver got con fused, or was slow in backing out, when the pro cessionista left their ranks, rushed on the unfortu nate man, and nearly murdered him and the policeman who interfered for his protection. Other policemen came up, and a regular riot ensued, which was not quelled till twenty policemen had been badly wounded, and then only by the help of heavy reinforcements. We learn by the last mail that San Francisco has been the scene of an Irish assault on the poor unoffend ing Chinese, as brutal as that of the New York riots of 1863, and in the Pennsylvania coal dis tricts, which aro inhabited almost exclusively by Irish (and Irish voters to boot), who sit on the juries, elect the judges, and have everything their own way, secret associations for the murder or robbery of obnoxious persons, which set the law at defiance, and render the prosecution of business almost impossible, flourish with a vigour such as has never been witnessed in Tipperary. These things are gradually extinguishing whatever sym pathy for Irish wrongs may once have been felt, but they unfortunately do not diminish Irish power of mischief, and are not likely to do so. There is only one way of governing men in this country, and that is through their own good sense and self-restraint, and it will not be aban doned, 1 think, unless the Irish should prove vastly more vicious and formidable than they seem now. THE TRIAL OF LIEUTENANT BRAND AND GENERAL NYLISON.— We understand that a bill of indictment for murder will be preferred against General Nelson and Mr. Brand at the sessions of the Central Criminal Court which commence to-morrow. The Recorder of London usually performs the duty of charging the grand jury, but on this occasion he will in no way refer to the above charge. After the grand jury have considered the other bill presented to them, the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench will attend the court, and probably on Wednesday will address them in relation to this particular offence. It is under stood that the learned Chief Justice will fully explain the intricate points of law which are involved in the case. In the event of a true bill being found, it will be removed by certiorari into the Court of queen's Bench, and the crown will probably demand, as of right, a trial at bar.—Sunday Gazette. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE WINTER GARDEN THEATRE, lime Yonz.—Another destructive fire occurred yesterday morning in Broadway, between Amity and Bleecker streets, by which the Winter Garden Theatre was burned to the ground and the Southern Hotel greatly damaged, especially on the upper floors. The fire origi nated, at about 'JO minutes before nine o'clock, in the north-western end of the theatre, under the stage fluor. At about nine o'clock no smoke was visible outside the building ; but occasionally long, wide anus of flame were flung wildly into the air, as high as :10 or 40 feet above the roof, and then diaappenred suddenly. The fire, after breaking from the basement, spread rapidly, the whole theatre being wheluied in flames a few minutes after it was discovered. A number of the carpenters who were there bad great difficulty in escaping suffocation, the smoke, black and thick, enveloping them and greatly jeopardizing their lives. The stage carpenters, who had returned there to resume their usual work, were the first to discover the tire. The scene from the ferry boats afforded another of those brilliant sights which have been witnessed so frequently during the last year, the flames leaping wildly into the air in long vivid shafts, then disappearing suddenly and being replaced by dense volumes of smoke which whirled high into the air, and then tossed by the winds ignited again, only to disappear as suddenly, and as suddenly to he replaced by the struggling smoke and flames. The theatre occupying a high position easily afforded the view to the crowds of people who thronged the Hoboken, Jersey City, and Brooklyn ferry-boats. The drama of Bruton was played at this theatre on Friday evening, and a spark from the last scene, "The Destruc tion of Rome," is supposed by some to have smouldered in the scenery and caused the fire. Yesterday there was to have been a stiatiten performance of nowt) and Julid, and an evening entertainment for the benefit of W. S. Andrews, of Our etnarican Cuusin.—New York Herold, March 24.

On Saturday evening a public meeting of electors of the county of Middlesex resident in the district of the Tower Hamlets took place in the large assembly room of the George Hotel, Commercial-road, for the purpose . of bearing from Mr. H. Labouchere an exposition of his political opinions as a candidate to represent the county in parlia ment,n the room of the Mr. R. Cal li ng Hanbury, . Mr. Jugs Husegitrrs, the coroner, was called to the chair, and was supported by Mr. Bruce, of the Arm of Younger and Co. ; Messrs. W. IL Howes and W. Newton, members of the Metropolitan Board ; Messrs. Dickenson, Imrie, Comber, Preece, Dr. Orten, Mr. B. Hall, Dr. Gar rett, Dr. Black, Messrs. Moody, Partin, Hull, &c. The Citaimiart, after referring to the melancholy cir cumstances which had called upon the electors of the county of Middlesex to assemble for the purpose of electing another representative in parliament in the place of the excellent one which had been taken from them, said be had great pleasure in introducing to their notice Mr. H. Labou chere, a name well known in political circles as connected with the liberal party in this country. (Applause.) Mr. LIBOCCHELL, who, on presenting himself, was most cordially received, said he was at Leeds some few days av, when the news reached him of the lamented death of the late member for Middlesex, Mr. Hanbury, and subse tr Ilteegram from some of his friends stating that t thought he would be an eligible candidate. On coming to town he thought it his duty to see some of the chief men of the liberal party, for his impression was that some gentleman connected with the city of foa -1 don could better work in the cause than he mould ; but thews leaden of the liberal party thought differently, and as the Liberal Registration Association had passed a resolu tion in his favour, he had been induced to oome forward. (Hear, hear.) As he was to • great extent unknown, he was desirous of telling them who and what he was. The honentlenmn then stated that in early life he was con nected with the diplomatic service, which had enabled him not only to understand the politics of his own, but to learn that which be considered easential to every politician, the practical politics of other countries. A little before the last general election Windsor was represented by two conservatives, and the circumstances under which he was induced, in conjunction with Sir Henry Hoare, to contest that borough were then: he found that there were • number of country gentlemen in Windsor and its vicinity who considered it a privilege to have the nomination of its members of parliament eatirely belonging to themselves, sad that the electors were nothing but their humble ser vants. He and Sir H. Hoare thought it was time to break up this system, and to give the electors the opportunity of sending to the House of Commons whom they pleased. After a close contest be and Sir Henry Haire were elected. He (Mr. Labouchere) had engaged the usual liberal agents, and gave strict instructions that nothing but legitimate parliamentary expenses should be paid ; but charges of bribery were preferred by petition, and, although the com mittee declared that neither by themselves nor their agents were they guilty of bribery, yet, on the grounds that a larger than a legitimate number of committee rooms were engaged, they were unseated. He mentioned this because he was desirous of showing to the electors of Middlesex that the stigma did not attach to him of having corrupted any constituency. (Hear.) With regard to his political opinions , he was neither an old, broken.lown Whig nor an u tra-redical. (Applause.) He thought that the consti tution, however, might be so modified as to bring a much larger clam of the community within the pale of the fran chise without damaging it. (Hear, hear.) He was one of those who believed that no country was safe, or could really and truly enjoy self-government, that was not de pendent upon the carmen support of the people, but at the same time he begged them to understand he was not in favour of universal suffrage. With regard to the present political crisis, they hadprobahly rail the instruction tothe house incommittes to be brought forward by Mr. Coleridge. Mr. Disraeli bad announced that he had determined to op pose that instruction. It did appear to him (Mr. Lebow. chere) that the principle of Mr. Disraeli's bill was to give with one hand and take away with the other—(hear, hear) —end he considered the great and important principle of his bill, which would benefit the country and secure the balance of power justly, was to insert • personal rating in the case of compound householders. He (the hon. mulls date) could not understand that such would be the case, but he thought it would be an injustice to th e compound householder. To his mind the best reform bill which hail been introduced of late years was that introduced by Mr. Gladstone last session, but which, through the want of union amongst the liberal party, was defeated. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Dimeeli's was, without doubt, a bad bill , but be should be sorry if it did not go into committee, as be thought that, perhaps, something aught be made of it, and that • large addition to the fran c hise would be the remit. Whatever the result might be, he hardly thought that Mr. Disraeli would go to the °Danny; but at the same time he was in hope that there would he compromises on both aides. (Hear, bear.) The country wanted two things—a good, sound reform bill, and that bill mimed speedily. (Applause.) As regarded the ballot, that was a subject which the electors of Middlesex had very little to do with ; but, with regard to small boroughs, be did think, from what he knew, that aman should not run the risk of losing his bread unless he consented to vote against his conscience —(hear, hear)—and therefore he should be inclined to vote for it. (Hear.) Alter referring to the subject of capital and labour, and expressing himself favourable to the establishment of such tribunals as there were in France and on the Continent, to whom appeals might be made, the hon. candidate touched upon that of education, and said it was a national disgrace to England that amongst . its agricultural population, and even in the towns, more ignorance prevailed than in any other civilised nation upon religious topics. Although as a member of the church of England he should deplore the deaden*, from that high social and moral position it held in this country, still he was opposed to church rates. (Cheers.) He was in favour of non-intervention, and isonaidenal that we had no right even to grant English money to enable the Greeks or any other nation to found a government. As to local subjects he should Disko it his duty to master them. [A Voice : Equalisation of poor rates.) Well, there were two sides to that question. An equalisation of poor rates would ma certain extent destroy that supervision and economy which existed among parochial authorities in the administration of the rates; but at the same time it appeared hard that the poorer districts' should have to maintain the larger amount of poor, while the rest comparativelynaped. He should not object to see a fair equalization of rates. [A VOICE: Flogging.] When in parliament he had voted against the lash in the army, and should do so again. (Applause.) With regard to the licensing system, he could not support Mr. Gray's bill. He thought the pre sent system could not be very well interfered with, as it was a guarantee that those who had houses licensed for the sale of spirits. tea , should keep them in an orderly manner ; besides, there were vested interests, which made the subject a difficult one to deal with. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman expressed his willingness to answer any questions which might be put to him, but none were pro pounded, and he resumed his seat amidst Iced applause. Mr. Maim moved, and Mr. Hsu L'4 emended:a resole. tion approving of Mr. H. Labeuchere Ai a fit and proper representative of the county of Middlesex. Mr. NEWTON supported the resolution, and urged um. nimity amongst the liberal party, although there might be slight differences of opinion on points of detail, at d'ex. pressed his gratification to find that. instead of there being a second liberal candidate in the poem of Mr. Hodgson. chairman of the Dank of England, that g entleman had placed his name on Mr. Labouchere's commi ttee. Dr. Orten, Mr. Prnee, and other gentlemen having also expressed their opinions in favour of the candidate, the resolution was put and carried unanimously unidat loud applause. Mr. Lattorcnxitereturned thanks, and in doing so, said as it was utterly impossible be could wait personally upon the 14,000 electors, these meetings were the means he must adopt to make his opinions known to them. (Hear.) A cordial Tote of thanks to the chairman brought the meting to close. The nomination of candidates will take place this dsy week, the 15th inst. The usual notices were issued on Saturday. The REDISTRIBUTION CL AVM ES. —Much die latiNfaCtiell is fetid to prevail in West Ham and its neigh bourhood at the proposal contained in schedule C, by which the parish is taken out of South Essex and united with a Middlesex borough—the North T wer Hamlets. It is argued that the member taken from Maldon should have born given is a third member to South Essex, which would then have been represented (including the member for Mahlon) by four members, which is as nearly as possible its proper proportion, according to population. The motive for taking 07,000 inhabitants from a constitu ency of 2u7,000, in order to add them to one of 311,000, is freely commented on in West Ham and South Essex generally, and confidence is expressed that there is little likelihood of its so far escaping the vigilance of parliw. meat as to par into law. RAILWAY DEBENTURES COMMITTEE.—The com mittee appointed to inquire into the question of railway debentures has brought its labours nearly to a conclu sion. The committee stands adjourned till Monday next to decide upon the report, and to consider how far it will be practicable to adopt the provisions of the bill intro duced at the beginning of the session by Sir Stafford Northcote for winding up railway companies unable to meet their engagemeta. It would be very definable if, together with the recommendations of the committee for giving increased value to railway debentures, sonic men. sure could be agreed upon for facilitating the winding up of companies in financial difficulties. The bill proposed by Sir Stafford Northcote was open to many objections in matters of detail and it remains to be seen how far its more objectionable features may be modified in committee. —Railway New.
