TV 0111.011, At. LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 27. IT is no business of public writers who respect their calling, or of public speakers whose words travel u far as the press can waft them, and carry SS lick weight as the char ac t er o f t h e B r i t i sh r li i t filamat ciaa bestow upon the mo s t i ns i gn i fi cant 'of ta members, to translate into responsible and authoritative language the unconsidered "babble " ment "of private life on public affairs. Parlia ment and the press would be declaring war once or twice a week against some Power or other if they permitted themselves to talk and write like schoolboys, or club-room gossips, or dinner-table tire-eaters, or even like opposition statesmen in their idle boors. We have most of us, apart from our responsible opinions on political subjects, a few very strong and wholesome likes and dislikes, which may have come to us by inheritance or by early association, and for which we are no more accountable than we are for any other creed in which we were brought up. But just as in private life there is a time for free and easy manners, and a time for good behaviour and deportment —e time for shooting-jackets and a time for awful ii.Nciiiiig costunie--aii hour for set speeches and 'cilium' attitudes, and an hour "beyond cravats;" so, too, in public life, what is tolerable, and err* natural and desirable talk in the smoking-room and the lobby, may he censurable, and even calamitous when it is uttered in the House,even from the beck benches below the gangway. We must say the desipere is not always understood or practised by thorie fiery spirits who glory in the title of " twist ',violent members," as it ought to be understood awl preAtow.l by men who presume to speak in the Heine and as the representatives of England. It might be well to have this apt Horatian maxim written in large characters over the door by which members enter the House of Commons, and even carved in a scroll round the walla. The debate on foreign policy last night was a striking instance of wanton contempt fur that sAlinai able awl eternal nand and political precept.

Pariiament sounds like a trumpet through the sßence of Europe. How measured and how calm should be the tone of English voices at such a time r this I There is probably but one opinion among i►gliahmen as to the system and policy of the French Empire in this dark and disgraceful bruit. law of the annexation of Savoy. There is but ass opinion as to the tendencies it betrays and the dangers it creates. Deliberate brigandage, how ever decently disguised, systematic piracy, however iriurieously worded, has no friends or ad mirers in this old land of ordered freedom. Bat do independent members, impelled no doubt by the highest motives, represent English feeling with due dignity or discretion when they lift up their voices, and—call names T Mr. HOUMA, mounts Savoy a. a favourite war-horse and charges full tilt at the Government, but even he is careful to protest that be means no fighting, and all his blows at M. THOUVINTI, and the &reason are backhanders at some ancient colleagues nearer home— To be wrath with those we love Dual vMilliiii;;Tiel;;; ;12 the brain. But the mischief of these backhanders, of such a reckless expenditure of force, is that it weakens the moral arm of England. Nothing can be easier and nothing more mischievous than to make war speeches without the responsibility of carrying your words into action. To bind over a government to keep the peace, and then to stigmatise it for pursuing a peaceful policy, is surely the pettiest of all the artifices of faction. Mr. HOUIRAN vitupe• rates the English Government because Count CAVOI*I has concluded an unworthy bargain, because M. Taovvaxa►. has done his master's dirty work with painful seal, because Austria is ready to cut off her nose to spite her face, and because Russia is indisposed to quarrel with a precedent so profitable to her own designs in the East of Europe. Even Prussia, perilously near to the burning house, is ready to be appeased by the insurance that the flames won't spread ; and to England it is left to oover the dishonour of Sardinia, and to maintain the residue of treaties against the complicity or the cowardice of Powers which have broken them before, and are glad to have an excuse for breaking them again. The silliest bigots of the Tory party 'hewed by their acclamations last night into whose hands Mr. ROMANIAN was playing when he suggested without defining a deliberate recurrence to that continental policy from which England was delivered by the far-sighted genius of CANNING. Mr. Diaaazu, as the " gentleman's gentleman " of the Holy Alliance, is never so well inspired as when he is mimicking the airs and the accent of a Merraasieu. The ludicrously feeble vehemence (for in the House of Commons vehemence is usually in exact proportion to feebleness) with which Lord Jous Max sass caught at the concluding sen tences of the Foams Misurraa's speech, and converted them into a confession of Tory faith, was a soi iv-0 which we recommend to the reflec tion of all true Liberals. Lord JOHN MANNZIA and his friends live in hopes of seeing England at the head of a new legitimate coalition, rallying the forces of a subsidised Germany to the lively strains of " Radetsky's March." It would be a noble effort of the latter days of the nineteenth century to put a fraudulent bankrupt Kaiser' on his legs, and to " restore " liberty to France, under the benignant auspices of the genial Bottesos who writes to M. VILLZHAIX from Frobsdorf to congratulate that eminent Liberal on his tardy conversion to Catholic truth. Mr. BRIGHT, who in hi■ loftiest flights on foreign policy seldom raises his head above the counter, did good service last night in detecting and denounc ing this miserable old Tory policy of coalitions, subsidies, and restorations, and in repudiat ing the counsels of thine foreign advisers, who, in their excessive zeal for the liberties they have not had the courage to keep, are inces santly sneering their little sneers at the neutrality and isolation of England. Let us for a moment endeavour to disengage from a heap of sophistries one grain of truth as to the duty of England to wards Europe. It is the honour, perhaps, too, the misfottime of England, that in political morality she is to France what civilisation is to barbarism. In spite of all her flashy sentimentalism and diseased art, France is, politically speaking, a barbarous na tion. At home in the enjoyment of the basest of all forms of government, a democratic despotism; abroad she glories in the pursuit of organised brigandage. In an age of peace she is mad with the intoxicating idolatry of War. To this Moloch her genius, her energy, her reproduetive labour is sacrificed ; and even the few nobler spirits that profess a faith in right and freedom are ready to worship the Force that compels some weaker neighbour to stand and deliver a province. Against this worship of the sword the whole life of England visibly protests. But, thanks to the narrow seas, we protest only. It is no duty of ours to crusade for the liberty of nations that pre fer glory to freedom, for the " rights "of deposed sovereigns, or even for Austrian ascendancy in Europe. Our own shores, our own rights and liber ties, our own living witness to the right and the truth—to shield these sacred blessings from insult and attack, and to hold up the beacon light of jus tice to the nations—this is the first and last duty of England.

We em glad to learn, from inquiries made at Lealon•house, St. James's-square, yesterday, that the Bishop of Loudon is recovering, though slowly, from his recent severe indisposition. His lordship, we believe, bad not left his room up to Saturday, and was tumble to preach before the court at Buckingham Palace yesterday, as com manded by her Majesty. We (Freeman's Journal) understand the Lord Lieutenancy of Londonderry, vacant by the death of flir A. Ferguson, has been conferred on Acheson Lyle, Emu, Chief Remembrancer. This leaves a lucrative appointment at the disposal of the government. The office is worth about 2,5001. a year. Among the new peerage claims which will come bef.,re the Committee of Privileges in the Home of Lords during the present session is one which, if admitted to be "Houle out" to their loniships' satisfaction, will so far create a revolution in the British peerage as to dispossess the Berl of Shrewsbury of the honours of the premier earl dom of England, which he has au recently acquired by the decision of the law. The claimant of the earldom of or Wiltshire, is Mr. Simon Thome. &rope, of Damby-on- Yore, Yorkshire, who in the year 1858 presented a petition to the Queen, "praying her Majesty to be pleased to cause • writ of summons to parliament to be issued to him by the title and dignity aforeseaL" Her Majesty "was pleased to refer the said petition, together with the Attorney-General's report thereon, to the House of Peers on the 7th of June, 1850, who, on the same day, referred it to the Committee of Privileges to consider and report upon." Luna John Russell has appointed a day some time after Faster to receive the deputation to explain the claims of }twinge on the new Reform Bill. On Saturday evening a public dinner was given In the Corn Exchange, Kirkcaldy, by the conservative elec tors of the county of Fife to Lord Loughborough, who con tacted the county in 1857 and 1850 on conservative princi ples, and the presentation was made to his lordship of • testimonial of the regent and confidence of the conservative electors, the gift consisting of • pair of silver candelabra, of elegant workmanship, weighing 444 ounces, and costing about 350 f. Mr. Mammy intends, in committee on Repre sentation of the People Bill, or on consideration of the bill, as amended, to inure clauses providing that every city or borough containing more than 2,000 registered electors, and returning more than one member to serve in parliament, shall be divided tutu wards, according to the number of member which such city or borough is so entitled to re turn ; and for each of such wards one member shall be re turned to serve in parliament, and no more. On the motion, to-morrow, that the house resolve Bait into committee on the Chtuch•rates Abolition Bill, Mr. Newdegate will move,m an amendment, "To leave out from the wont ' That' to the end of the question, in order to add the word', 'this house will, tomom,w, resolve itself into a committee to consider the propriety of establishing in lieu of church rates, thenceforth to be abolished, a charge on all bereditantente, in respect of the occupancy of which church rates have been paid within the last seven years ; such charge to be levied with the county rate at a uniform rate of poundage, the occupier being in all came entitled to de duct the amount of the chugs levied on his occupation,' instead thereof." We are requested to state that the race between the Universities of Oxfonl and Cambridge on the 31st of March will be rowed from Putney to Mortlake, and out from Mortlake to Putney, as waa%riginally intended. The start will probably take place between $ and 9 cm. The Marquis de la Coussaye, who lately died in his villa, on the hanks of the peaceful lake of Enghien, four miles from Park, left a rather eccentric legacy. He bequeathed a awn of 50,000 fr. to the commune of Enghien upon trust, to pay the interest thereof every year to some well-conducted girl for her marriage portion, but upon this condition that the maiden tube annually elected shall, in the month of May, plane a garland upon the testator's tomb with one hand, while she receives her fortune with the other. MR. THACILIRAY, OF CHARLOTTE Bsornt.— Cll.ll only say of this larly, ride taarsom I saw her trot just ma I meet out of an at. from which I had never thought to recver. I remember the trembling little frame, the little hand, the great honest eyed. An impetuous honest) seemed to me to characterise the woman. Twice I recollect she took me to task for what she held to be errors in doctrine. Once shout Fielding we had • disputation. She spoke her mind out. She jumped too rapidly to conclusions. (I have smiled at one or two passages in the " Biography," in which my own disposition or be haviour forms the subject of talk). She formed conclu sions that might le wrong, and built up whole theories of character upon them. New to the London worblodre entered it with an independent, indomitable spirit of her own, and judged of contemporaries, and imperially vied out afro fence dr affectation, with extra. ordinary keenness of mum. She was angry with her favourites if their co duct or conversetioa fell below her ideal. Often she seemed to me to be judging the London folks prematurely ; but perhaps the city e. rather and at being judged. I fancied au austere little Joan of Arc marching in upon ua, and rebuking our easy lives, our may morals. She gave me the impression of being • very pure, and lofty, end high-minded person. A great and holy reveresoe of right and truth seemed to be with her always. Such, in our held interview, she appeared to me.—Corunitl Mavatine, for ApriL MARCH CI, 'ELLIG: SAVOY AND NICE. We read ia *0 Mae of today : "A proclamation of the Sardinian authorities announces the arrival of our troops to the inhabi tants of Chambery, and a French vessel of war is about to give protection to our citizens at Nit*. The latter complain of the violence exercised against them by a portion of the popula tion. With regard to the deputation from Savoy, who went to demand of the King of Piedmont either the maintenance of the country under the crown of Sardinia or its erection into an independent state—the King contents himself with replying that events are stronger than his desires, but that at all events the ties which unite his dynasty to Savoy are too old to be broken in a day." The elections in Savoy to the Sardinian parlia ment took place on Sunday. The Conetitutionne/ of this morning says " The first French battalions returning from Italy have entered Savoy." Le Stated et La Savoie of the 24th inst., a journal published at Chambery, appears with a deep black border and the following appeal : The men who, from respect for the liberty they were allowed to enjoy, or actuated by sentiments of honourable fidelity, entertained the hops of preventing a change which they believe fatal to their country, have placed reliance on promisee publicly made, and have thought they might rely upon a free vote destined to interpret the wishes of the populations. The Moniteur brings forward the annexation in es positive a manner that our political elections have no longer an object. Fully resolved not to perform the part of dupes without dignity, we refuse to associate ourselves with en equivocal vote which means nothing. We therefore invite all our fellow-citisens who will place their confidence in us to ab stain from attending the political elections of Sunday next. The Piedmontese government cannot, without violating its promises and our legitimate rights, dispense with calling upon us to pronounce ourselves freely upon our destinies. We expect, we desire that the suffrage shall be taken limmetly on the subject. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, MARCH W. Yesterday the Federal Council held a sitting of long duration. According to news received, 600 French soldiers will occupy Annecy on the 28th inst. Orders have been given to assemble some troops of the contingents of Benue, Vaud, Neufchatel, Fribourg, and Valais. DISTURBANCES AT ROME. A letter from Rome of the 20th gives some de tails of the disturbances which took place in that city on the preceding day, as mentioned by tele graph : Yesterday being St. Joseph's-day, it way generally under stood that a grand promenade demonstration would be rustle outside the Forts Pia, in honour of Joseph Garibaldi, and in commemoration of the annexation of Central to Upper Italy. The government consequently gave orders for that long road to he strongly occupied by detach ments of horse and foot gendarmerie, and General de Goyon contributed some companies of French infantry far the preservation of order in the same locality. These dis position', however, had the effect of checking the demon. ignition, and some thousands of promenaders resorted to the Corso instead, where great numbers of them appeared with the innocent distinction of bunches of violete in their bat ton-holes. The patrols of gendarmes, who had orders to parade the Como, took umbrage at this symbol, and insisted upon the promenaders walking singly instead of taking each other's arms. So strange a demand of course brought on, in some cases, unpleasant rejoinders ; and the gendarmes, unaccustomed to admit of any reply to their high behests, prooeeded to make some arrests upon the Piazza Colonna, which were resisted by the people as unjust and arbitrary. The gendarmes drew their swords and • conflict would have taken place then and there bad not a French oSeer interfered, and, reasoning with the gendarmes, in duced them to give up the prieoners. The people took this as • triumph, and the gendarmes skulked off amidst mil -1 venal hissing. They lust no time in making their complaint at head-quarters, and a quarter of an hour later a patrol of horse gendarmerie entered the Piazza Colonna from the Piam di Pietas, whilst • strong detachment of foot gend armerie issued forth from the police-office in the Monte (Morro Palace on the other side. These two forces then, with drawn swords, made a combined attack upon the 0131111:1113d people on the Piazza Colon's, and in the Corso, striking right and left, turning back carriages, knocking down foot wingers, men, women, and children, ordering the cafés to be closed and hours doors to be shut, and in fact running a complete muck. It may be imagined whet • panic was produced by this un expected niffianism. The people seemed terror-stricken, sad those who were not quick enough in escaping (rum the Corso by the side streets were prostrated by the remorse less sabres of the gendarmes. The numbers of then victims are differently &delisted -110Ille accounts giving le, and some 60. Them are only six at the hospital of Ban Giacomo and four at the Caturolasioue ; but probably the greater part of the wounded persons would prefer being tended in their own houses. A considerable proportion of the sufferers are foreigners, attracted by the beauty of the day and the hour of the promenade to the Corso. One or two Anierintin and some Germans have felt the weight of the gendarmes' blows ; and several Frenchmen, some of whom were oflicers in plain clothes, are amongst the wounded. Of these I can mention the names of Colonel Peward and Captain Michel, and I have heard a report of General de Goyon's nephew being wounded also. The general however, is indignant at his officers being about en bourgeois, and threatens to punish these for breach of discipline as soon as they recover from their present sabre cuts. Our representative, Mr. Odu Rummell, wee proceeding down the Corso at the time of the fray, to dine with a friend who resides in that street, but his carriage was turned into a side lane by the gendarmes ; and, as nu arguments could induce hie terrified coachman to return into the tabooed Corso, Mr. Russell was obliged to repair thither on foot. Bad blood has of course been bred by this lamentable occurrence, and we may look for • re newal of sinister events ere long. Strong patrols of horse and foot gendarmes and French infantry paraded the city until a late hour last night. On the morning of the 19th another =mistake able display of the feeling which pervades the students of the Rowan University took place at the chapel attached to the Sapienza. After MARS and the customary prayers a stentorian voice announced that a Te Deem was about to be intoned in thanksgiving for the annexation of Central Italy to the constitutional kingdom of Victor Enunanuel, and, despite the remonstrances of the priests and the university dignitaries present, the students sang the Te Deem " with one accord," and the same powerful voice concluded with an Uranus for the prosperity of the newly inaugurated era of Italian independence. The leaders of the moderate liberal party belonging to the most respectable middle class of wealthy Roman landholders and proprietors, Signori Silvestrelli, Mastricola, Tittoni, Ferri, and Santangelo (the same who has only recently been released from prison) were summoned before the director of pollee, and ordered to make preparations to depart within twenty-four hours, as they were exiled from Roane. Astounded at such a sentence, they requested to be subjected to a re gular trial if they had committed any offence ; bnt they were only assured that, if they were not ready to depart spontaneously, they would be &mom puded to the frontier by escorts of gendarmes. They accordingly started from Civita Vecchia this evening, to embark for Leghorn.

General Dufour was to leave Paris to-day, to re turn to Switzerland, having fulfilled his special mission to the Emperor. Although the Bund posi tively denies that Switzerland has any intention to take military occupation of Chablais and Faucigny, there seems to be reason to think that the Con federation is at least concentrating troops on the frontier. An impression prevails to-day that Switzerland, strongly impressed with the idea that the possession of those provinces by France will really be fatal to her independence, is disposed to run great risks in the hope of stimulating the powers to interfere on her behalf. The Pays gives a positive contradiction to a state ment of the Indepeiedwite Beige that Lord John Russell had sent two despatches in answer to M. Thouvenel's note on the subject of Savoy and Nice, and that the first despatch was couched in such severe terms that M. Thouvenel refused to receive it. Only one despatch, the Pays affirms, has been received from England, and that, as has been al ready said, is not of a nature to prejudice the cor dial sentiments which unite the two countries. The Pays also confirms the contradiction given by other journals of the telegram which said that the order for the evacuation of Lombardy by the French army has been suspended. All the journals inspired by government speak of the evacuation as a thing finally resolved upon and to be carried out with promptitude. The same journal asserts that M. Benedetti, who was sent to Turin to arrange the terms of the occasion of Savoy and Nice to France, has "happily overcome all difficulties." The Bourse opened somewhat heavily under the influence of reports that the Neapolitan troops had entered or were about to enter the Roman States. This news was, however, contradicted in the course of the day, and the denial is confirmed in very ex plicit terms by the Petrie. The Rents, after opening at 68fr. 15c., became very firm, and closed at 68fr. 55c. for cash, and 68fr. 50c. for account, with a rise of 35c. and 30c. Mobilier rose Mr. 75c. The Orleans and Northern Railways rose 7fr. 50c. each ; Lyons, Western, and Eastern, Mr. each ; and Southern, lfr. 25c. The disquieting news from Switzerland, which is much talked of this evening, was either unknown or discredited at the Bourse. Frank Picard, the celebrated steeple chaser, who is almost always victorious, was beaten yesterday at La ➢[arche by Viscount Talon's Niel. The MUM was a very severe one—nearly four miles, with several leaps and the famous brook to be crossed twice. Franc Picard took the lead and kept it gallantly up to the very last fence, when the extra weight he carried (301b5.) told with fatal effect ; Niel got over first, and ran into the winning post several lengths ahead. The indtpendance says, and the (►pinion Nationak hopes the news may be true, that the Emperor has resolved not to put forward any more members of his household •ae government candidates for the Corps Legialatif. We understand that it is likely that a Congress of the Great Powere will be held in the course of a few weeks, and that the place of meeting will be Loudon.— Herald.

I have been living in the same house with Lieu in Leaden about fourteen days. I have had a little talk with him, but can't tell what it was about. Mr. Douglas asked me to come up.

Dr. Waddington, of Wakefield, gives the follow ingaccount of an occident which occurred on Sunday to the 8 o'clock a.ni. train from Wakefield on the Great Northern Railway, near Doncaster, by which he was a pas. senger As the train approached Downier, about 9 o'clock, the pawieugerti were suddenly alarmed by the whir merit uscillation of the carriages. In a few seconds the engine bad run off the line, dragging the greater part of the train with it scrum the opposite line of mils. By this time the concussion Mot become so vehement that the grappling chains connecting the engine, tender, and first carnage with the rest of the train providentially snapped. The circum. stance saved the lives of many. But the engine, tender, and first carriage were hurled over the embankment, all three being together overturned, and the latter (a second-class one) nearly crushed. The stoker was severely injured on the head, and his recovery is more than doubtful ; the engine -driver contrived to leap elf in time to save himself with a few bruises. The shrieks of the passengers in the overturned carriage (three women and five men) were fearful ; and for some time their extrication was impossible. One middle-aged woman had her thigh broken, another her arm fractured. An old man bad one, if not two, of his ribs broken. The passenger in the other carriages, in one of which I was travelling, were leis seriously injured, though sufficiently so to talk about cons. pensation, instead of assisting in earnest those with broken limbs. The hue of rails wen torn up for a considerable die. Canoe. Owing to the telegraph being out of gear, some delay in communicating with Donowter was experienced. A surgeon and various hands at length arrived with a spe cial train for the injured piewengers, who, after long delay, were removed to llnneaster. 1, of course, as a medical man, rendered what assistance I could. Those worst injured were conveyed to the Railway Anna, the recovery of more than one be a 'ng doubted by myself. At length a fresh train started from lkuaaster, and we reached London nearly two hours after due. The accident was mused by the tire of one of the right wheels of the engine having flown off ; and it is clear that the engine was not in a condition to ply be. tween the stations of the threat Northern Railway."
