Familiarity with edged tools has certainly not filed the mind of that favoured constituency to a temper of extreme severity. The highest quality they admire in a representative is a tenacity in representing no opinions but his own, and an absolute conviction that all who differ from him are rogues or fools. This has been the first and last article of his public creed, from the time when he was the parliamentary agent of rebels to the day when he has lived to affirm that the Yana tians are " well governed" by Austria. The Sheffield people love to be bullied by a bitter old gentleman who leans on a stick, and protests with a shrill shriek of virtuous anger, that be was poor and honest before half of his hearers were old enough to "do" or to be done, and that he is poor and honest still, in spite of offers of power and place, and a heap of bribes, and solicitations to which nes of common parliamentary stuff must have soccumbed. Who does not know the tyranny of weans= in a household I--of peevish infancy or smile petulance f If the Member for Sheffield were a big, burly Radical, with a loud voice and an ample waistcoat, he would never have persuaded his Sheffield audience that the negative virtues of honesty and poverty were sufficient to cover the positive sins of a renegade who had plunged into bad company as anon as he found himself too old to be tempted. Mr. Rossi/cc "thought he knew " his countrymen." And he knew that their love of fair play was apt to degenerate into a facile sym pathy for infirm sourness and cynical conceit. It is a curious reflection upon the character of the present House of Commons that Mr. Rossocx has obtained from his electors an enthusiastic vote of confidence on the ground that he is "honest"; • qualification which at Sheffield is evidently re garded as the rarest and most unexpected. To people out of Sheffield the trick which their amiable Drone-yea has played them seems stale enough. It was simply to set up a sham issue, and escape the real one under • cloud of his own raising. No man in that audience knew better than Mr. Roasoca, that the accusations he pretended to bring against himself in order to demolish them triumphantly, had nothing to do with the dissatisfaction of his constituents. Ye) responsible speaker or writer that we know of has ever so much as hinted that Mr. Rosstxx had been "bought and sold." On the contrary, the world in general agreed with his sincere well wishers in regretting that in the decline of a career undistinguished by practical success, be should have carried the eccentric unacquisitivenees of his political habits into commercial enterprises which were doomed to borrow the lustre of conspicuous failure from his unrewarded name. Had the inauspicious ventures with which Mr. Rossct•e, with the candid generosity of his nature, has allowed his good fame to be mixed up, achieved the slightest success, we are fully persuaded that an honourable disdain of lucre would have saved him from the contamination of profits, whilst his reputation would have been held more sacred by • world which judges commercial men and things by a commercial code of right and wrong. The poli tical world calls that independence of character for which Mr. Roarer takes credit "disappoint " ment ;" the commercial world that singu lar passion for tuiremunerative enterprises in which Mr. Roxsoce has recently indulged, " un " business-like eccentricity." In either case the political and the commercial world are unjust ; if we set down the political and the commercial failures to the credit of vanity, and balance the account with " vexation " of spirit," we shall probably do Mr. !Waseca justice. Not a word, however, that we can discover in Mr. Roaseux's speeches at Sheffield goes to the point at issue between him and his Liberal con stituents. He has triumphantly absolved himself from injurious charges which ho certainly need never have descended to notice. But the fact that his opinions on the most importantquestions of foreign policy at a momentous crisis in the destinies of Europe have undergone a somewhat sudden change, and that as the radical and re nowned representative of a radical and renowned constituency, he has imported from Vienna opinions which even in Vienna are scarcely extant among the public ;—this startling fact which suggests one of two consequences : the resignation of his seat, or the stultification of his constituency :—Mr. Ros sw•t passes by without explanation or excuse. If his electors are content, why should we complain I We make no complaint: we simply point to the terms of the Resolution carried at the close of the meeting, beginning with a declaration of confidence in Mr. Rossocx, and ending with a declaration of opinions which Mr. Roarer repudiates and ab jures, and we ask whether the electors who passed and carried that Resolution have not written themselves down Pundits worthy of celebration by the Comic Muse I The electoral wisdom of Shef field deserves an Aristophanic immortality. We trust Mr. Romance will present every one of his hearers with a copy of that " Austrian Constitu tion," splendidly bound, which he has already depo sited in the house of the "honoured Mayor." Mr. ROIIIICCIK, however, with all the nervous eagerness of an aged lover, piuceeds to justify his new faith in Austria, and we beg to assure his Austrian prompters that there are not half • dozen born Tories in the British Parliament who would have dared to own such a passion in such a place. Bat aged lovers are afraid of losing time, and like young advocates, do sometimes exceed the in structions on their brief. It appears, then, that Mr. ROZIWrit found " perfect liberty springing ne in the Austrian dominions under the auspices of " English governesses ;" for Mr. Rossi:cc has been " into their country and in their families," and " in every family where they could afford, they " had English governesses to teach their children." This discovery made a deep impression upon the Liberal electors at Sheffield. Mr. ROEBUCK did not say whether he found English governesses at Venice, or whether at least ho found one in the Governor's palace ; but he affirms that the Ve netians are "well governed ;" and his rationale of good government abroad consists, it should seem, in a sprinkling of " English governesses " among Austrian garrisons. On the other hand, Mr. Rot- BUCK is not ashamed to declare that he considers GARIBALDI a "very remarkable man," who has his " admiration and respect." This is for Sheffield. For Vienna, he adds that GARIBALDI is a Fili buster who deserved to be hanged in Sicily, and who, if he goes to Venice, will infallibly be broken like a wave against • rock ; and Mr. &muck " prays God " that GARIBALDI will not go to Venice. " Them's my sentiments" on the Italian question. Let us see what Mr. ROEBUCK'S opinions are on what be calls "a politician's ques " tion." A politician's question means, of course, a question far removed from the vulgarities of sentiment. Mr. Rosence's opinions on the Italian question may be briefly but exactly summed up as follows. Re wants " a free and independent " Italy." Therefore, in ordor "to check France," be would have Austria dominant from Peachier• to Venice. Because "some people," as he sar castically describes the Emperor of the FRENCH, " have run themselves up to the top of " the Alps," as be ingeniously describes the annexation of Savoy and Nice, therefore he desires to see Austrian domination from Peschiera to Venice perpetual. Because, "since the days of CasaLre VIII., France has had her eye upon Italy ;" and because Mr. RAIIIICCICB "desire is that when Italy is united she should be inde pendent ;" and because Mr. ROEBUCK " wants to know why a wedge of French troops should be pushed in between South and North Italy, and keep possession of Rome ;" and because Mr. Rozscce's desire is that English ships should be able to navigate the Mediterra nean "as safely as the English Channel," therefore—mark the admirable logic of this venerable emeriti dipfetnate—Mr. ROEBUCK'S belief is that "the old policy should be carried " out in Italy." " What is that f To balance " one Power against another." In other words, to insert a thick Austrian as well as a thin French wedge between North and South Italy ; to cover Venetia with Austrian garrisons because France overhangs Italy " from the crests of the Alps." We trust the enlightened electors of Sheffield, as friends of Italy, as politicians of the latter half of the nineteenth century, as lovers of peace, admire the sagacity, consistency, and prudence of their renowned Liberal member's programme. Dissatis fied with a temporary and partial French occupa tion at Rome, and scared at the spectacle of French eagles on the crests of the Alps, Mr. Rotnuct insists on the importance to the peace of Europe and the interests of England of perpetuating the Austrian domination in Venetia. This remarkably advanced Liberal has advanced in the direction of Italian independence as far as the Austrian outposts. There he has found "English " governesses," and English books not confiscated by the Austrian police. Such is the curious yet simple process by which an English Radical be comes an Austrian convert, and is not even retie fred with sticking, like the ghost of Merraarnee, to the "settlement" of 1815, but argues that "the " old Italian policy "—that is, the policy of keep ing Italy divided, tortured, and enslaved, a hot bed of revolution, • prey to invasion, and an stern•l cause or pretext of war—ought to be tarried out in Italy, for the sake of the indepen dence of Italy, the peace of Europe, and the inte rests of England I We leave to the collective sharpness of the Sheffield electors to cut their way through this chaotic balderdash. All the glory of it is their admirable member's, and their own. But as Englishmen, we have a right to protest against the shameless and hateful doc trine that England has any " interest " in the en slavement of any people under the sun. Suppose the French Eureaoa, or even a French deputy, or journalist, to say, or write " What is for the in " teresta of France is for the world's interest ;" or, " What is for the benefit of France is for the "benefit of mankind." With what unmeasured scorn and insult would Mr. ROEBUCK hurl back the ' windy epigram of the Gaul I Yet this is pre cisely what Mr. Rouucx says at Sheffield—sub stituting " England" for " France." We are sorry to find so unique an Englishman borrowing French stilts for his " tall talk." GALATZ INUNDATION BELIEF FUND.

APRIL 4, LATEST INTELLIGENCE WARLIKE RUMOURS. A lithographed correspondence issued at Paris last evening has the following paragraph : " It would seem that the political situation, in stead of clearing up, becomes more sombre. At least such is the conclusion to be drawn from the tenor of the most recent news, all of which points to the prob►bility of a oonflagration in Europe. At Paris, Marshals Niel and Canrobert have been at tending councils of war. It is said that Marshal Vaillant is about to inspect the fortresses of the northern and eastern frontiers. Marshal Mae Mahon, who is to command the Chalons camp, is spoken of as likely to supersede Marshal Castellano at Lyons, the latter being removed to Toulouse to relieve Marshal Niel, who goes to Lille." The French fleet is ordered to Beyrout. This movement is attributed at Paris to very serious news lately received from Syria. (RV., 721.101LXR.) FRANCE. PARIS, THUUDAT.

In to -day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, the discussion on the affairs of Naples was con tinued : The Minister of the Interior, in reply to the re marks made by Signori Msee•ri, Paternostro, and Ricciardi, in yesterday's sitting, declared that the inconveniences of the administration of Naples pointed out by those members had been exaggerated. He said he would remedy those which really existed, and stated that government would increase the military forces in the southern provinces as • measure of public safety. The minister stigmatised the accusations brought against some public functionaries as calumnies, and refuted the other points in the interpellation of Signor Massari. M. Minghetti then considered the question of arming the National Guard, and concluded by saying that the arguments he had adduced in regard to Naples could be applied to Sicily. The Marquis de Montezemolo, lieutenant of that province, would, he said, be replaced at his own request. The Minister of Public Works gave explanations relative to the railway, postal, and telegraphic ser vice in Southern Italy, and drew attention to the fact that several contracts for railways had been signed. Other deputies spoke on the question of Naples, and the discussion became rather animated. Seve ral propositions, in the form of orders of the day, were brought forward, and the debate was ad journed until to-morrow. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, THURSDAY.

What is " the foreign journal" which, according to the joint and several authority of the Const►tntionnel, Pays, and Petrie, originally produced it ? and how comes it that these papers which, notwithstanding the idle assertion to the contrary, do continually publish intelligence on other than their "own responsibility," had pri vity in this instance over all the independent journals ? The Gazette de France remarks that the name of the duke to whom the letter purports to be addressed is not given, and insinuates that no such person exists. It further observes that as the document is dated from the Chateau de Buzenval, March 27, there is a physical impossibility that the letter could have time to go to Naples and come back by the Ist of April, the day on which it was known in Paris. The letter, it appears, was despatched from Paris to all the Italian journals, and was treated by them with contempt. The Opinion Nationale, which yesterday would not treat the letter seriously, now observes that the pompous way in which the Pays—M. Granier de Cassaguac's journal—" with its habitual male volence towards Italy," announces the arrival in Paris of a Neapolitan general with a Muratist pe tition, makes it worth while to point out in a few words the utter rottenness of Murat's pretensions. The principle on which France claimed Nice and Savoy was to strengthen her frontier against a neighbour likely to become powerful, and implied non-intervention in Italy. Her continued inter ference, on special grounds, in Rome alone brings her in contact with the hatred of the catholic party, the impatience of the Italians, and the jealousy of England, and has sufficiently proved that she can not in any way whatever mix herself up in the affairs of Italy without irritating her enemies and displeasing her friends. " What, then, would be the case if the Emperor were to seek to place one of his own relations on the throne of Naples r The Opinion then calls to mind the in gratitude of Murat, who, in 1814, allied himself with Austria against France, and drew from Napoleon this prophetic exclamation :—" That man is at once a villain and a fool ; he is the occa sion of my losing Italy, perhaps more, and he has lost himself. You will see that, one of these days, he will be reduced to ask me for shelter and bread ; but I trust I may live long enough to punish his monstrous ingratitude." The modern Murat, who talks so indignantly against the revolution, now that he who never did anything for Italy has the impudence to claim the benefit for himself of Garibaldi's victories, is the grandson of a Languedoc innkeeper, and has as little claim to be a king on the ground of divine right as on that of personal merit. Among the proposals made by Count Cavour to the Pope is one, it is asserted, in pursuance of which the island of Sardinia would be ceded to France, in order that the Emperor, following the example of Pepin and Charlemagne, might make it over to the church as private property fur the residence of the Popes, but without compelling them to renounce the honorary title of Sovereign Pontiff. The Bourse continues to decline seriously in consequence of the warlike rtunours. The Rente fell 10c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at 67fr. 45c. and 67fr. 60c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c. With the exception of Northern, which declined 6fr. 25c., there was little change in railways. The Mires securities are worse again. The Canine, which the other day was quoted at upwards of 100 fr., now at 90fr. Roman railways fell 15fr. ITALY. plot OM OWN TURIN, MAME 31. This is Easter Sunday, a day of peace, and every one is reposing. Count Cavour is at his villa of Lori, the King is at Stnpinigi ; senators and depu ties are paying flying visits to their homes for a few days. The Ministers •of War and the Interior are alone debarred from taking part in the general re pose, even for the three Easter holidays. Both are obliged to watch respectively the Austrians and the Mazzinians with unflagging vigilance. The Aus. trians are in a menacing attitude on the frontiers, hoping for some provocation that may give them a pretext for attacking us before we have been able to form a powerful army. The Mazzinians, partly through intemperance and political ignorance, partly from a spirit of disloyalty, are disposed to give the Austrians the pretext they desire. Through one of his secret agents Mathni has published a ma nifesto, in which he says :—" Advance, assault ; the government will be compelled to follow you." Thus be sets himself up as a judge, and believes himself authorised to direct the nation according to his own caprices. A schism among the Garibaldians has been the consequence. The better part of them object to receive orders from any one but Garibaldi himself ; the other part consider Garibaldi to be a general, and nothing more, but in Mazzini they see their prophet, forgetting how he has always urged them to the brink of a precipice. Meanwhile Garibaldi's generals, Sirtori, Comm, Medici, Bixio, and several of minor fame, are weary of this divi sion caused by Maszini--a division so full of perils —and they are not displeased to see the government endeavouring to prevent the folly of premature aggression. Garibaldi, still at Caprera, has not yet received an accurate account of all this. The generals Medici and Cosenz have recently had a conversation with the King. General Bixio started yesterday for Paris. Generals Dunn, Tarr, , are here, and so also is Count Pianciani, of sinister augury. General Cialdini no sooner arrived here, than he was sent on to Milan, that he might persuade Ge neral La Marmora to withdraw his resignation, but he has failed in his mission and left for Bologna, where the corps is concentrating that carried on war in Southern Italy under his command. La Mar mota has written to the King to justify his re fusel, and says :—" As the defensive works sug gested by me for Lombardy have not been car ried out, I feel myself incapable of resisting an Austrian invasion." The Minister of War be lieves, on the other hand, that Lombardy as left by the peace of Villafranca was not to be de fended even by the most expensive works, but that it was best defended by Austria's cession of that territory to France, so that any Austrian invasion in this quarter would give France a caaus belli. The head of the moderate liberal party at Rome bag arrived here, Dr. Pantaleoni, and had been exiled suddenly within the last few days by the Pontifical government. He oonfirms to me what others had written, that the Pope himself was dis poised to listen to betterconneels, when all at onoe from some new hopes not precisely known to others he changed again and returned to his old state of ob stinacy. It is believed, however, that it has been caused by a promise from Vienna that before a fortnight an Austrian army would enter Bologna. The soul of these warlike ideas among the Austrians is the ex-Duke of Modena, who is thirsting for a bloody revenge. All the ex-Princes are leagued in this attempt, 'Which will perhaps disturb all Europe. The fallen and the falling rulers are banding them selves together, and therefore the Spanish Bourbons are more or lees openly playing the same game. The parliamentary vacation of Easter will last over Tuesday and Wednesday ; if the Chamber meets in sufficient strength, Signor Maaaari will then bring on his question respecting the affairs of the Neapolitan provinces. Just as I was about closing this letter a few notices came in. After a council of ministers pre sided over by the King, in which the King stated Is Marmora's reasons, and the demands this officer had made for the military security of the country , namely, "that at all events they should form an entrenched camp at Pavia, and should sus pend until quieter times the new organization of the army," General Fanti, the Minister of War, declared that Pavia should be armed with artillery, and that with a little labour an entrenched camp would soon be formed ; further, that the new organization could not be completed in a hurry, and therefore that the army would, in fact, retain for the present its previous organization, with the exception of a few things, the utility of which was acknowledged by La Marmora himself. The last named general, having received these assurances, has consented to withdraw his resignation and retain the command of the second army corps. News has arrived from Genoa that Signor Bel lazzi, the agent of the Mazzinian Dr. Bertani, is enlisting for some unknown expedition. The Minister of the Interior has Usual the (necessary orders for watching these proceedings, and putting • stop to them in case they should go beyond the limits of constitutional liberty and endanger the safety of the state. The Official Journal of Naples of the 28th ult. states that on the preceding day the poet-office authorities seised are sacks of copper-money coined ill the name of " Francis Bourbon " (the es-King of Naples), and which had been sent from Rome by the Messageries. The address of the person for whom they were intended was marked upon them. M.

A Naw TUNNEL TN ROUt: H Tli 6 Amt's,—A Piedmootese commission has just been charged to examine the question of a tunnel through the Alps which separate Italy from Switzerland. Different plans have been laid before it, passing by the Saint Gotherd, the Lukmanier, the Splugen. the Bernardino. and the Septimer. The commis- • 'ion will have to decide through which of the above moon- tains the tunnel can be moat easily and most adynntagrously cat. The Lukmanier appears to promise the greatest facilities, as it is lower than any of the others, but as • set•off, the line of railway to be connected with the tunnel through that mountain would be 1 7, t kilometres (Atha of • mile each) in length, while if it was to pas through the Saint Gotham' it would only be 1:43, and through the Splugen 120. The two lines by the Sahli Gothard and the Lukmanier are each estimated at a cost d ninety millions of francs, and that by the Splugen at one hundred million.. If, In the examination of the queen", the only objset were to put Italy simply in communication with deputed Switzerland and Basle, the Saint Gothard would certainly have the preference, but if this line is to open an easy road to Germany and Belgium. Genoa and Turin will advocate the line of Lukmanier, and Milan that of the Saint Gothani. I SIR the am sad riot eta fool like had 'war chsu
