LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22. TER Member for Dudley pined an easy victory over the Government, or rather over the CHAN crtgos of the ESCESQIIER, last night. A ma. jority of 72 accepted and confirmed his Resolu tion, " That in the opinion of this House it is " expedient that the reduction of Fire Insurance " Duty, made in the last Session, be extended at " the earliest opportunity to houses, household " goods, and all descriptions of insurable pro " perty,"notwithstseding Mr. Giseeroer's earnest remonstrance against any such arbitrary anti cipatieo, on the part of the Legislature, of the financial statement of the year. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN described his repeated Resolutions in favour of a reduction of the fire in surance duty to a uniform rate of eighteen-pence (he would prefer a shilling), as "standing laetrile " time" or "admonitions " to the Government, which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQOZR for the time being was bound to take into his most serious consideration in framing hie Budget. The partial success be achieved last year in obtaining a reduction of the rate of insurance on stock in trade, has, it seems, excited in his " over-sanguine mind " that sort of gratitude which consists in a lively sense of hymns to come. He tells a story of some " right " hoe. friend" of his, who first gave him the hint of moving a Resolution, instead of bringing in a Bill, because a Resolution was so much more easily carried than • Bill, and was a peculiarly binding form of "admonition," which no Govern ment could decently disregard. If we may be per mitted to indulge for • moment in the fashionable jargon of the day, and to borrow a figure from gunnery, there is an " initial velocity" in a Resolu tion which compensates for the want of that "force "of impact" which belongs to a Bill. Mr. SHERIDAN, armed with his annual Resolution, finds himself almost as formidable as the man who has only one book in his library. With • piety and confidence of manlier that may well have jarred a little upon the nerves of a Finance Minister in the last month of that interesting condition which surrounds him with an almost maternal mystery and importance from January to April, Mr. SERRIDAN dexterously contrives to force Mr. GLADSTONE into • false position, and to reduce him to the dilemma of treating Parliament with " compulsory disrespect," or of appear ing to dispose of his surplus as Mr. BERMUDAN directs. There was an episode in the debate on the Friendly Societies Bill last Session, which suggests that the Member for Dudley may, not without a natural human relish, choose the tenth day from the close of a financial year for a rapier thrust at the amo'tr propre of a Chancellor of the Exchequer. The misfortunes of our friends, we are told, are never entirely disagreeable to us ; and it may be refreshing to pay off an intimate enemy by forestalling the merit of his good intentions or convicting him of contumacy ; when your intimate enemy happens to be • statesman, jealous of his " initiative" and of his just renown. The Member for Dudley very dexterously wraps himself in the mantle of Parliamentary pre rogative, and raises the standard of the rights of the Legislature ; be dictates to Mr. GLADSTONE the disposal of his surplus, or visits him with an "admonition " which is almost a censure. This is a proud attitude for the Member for Dudley ; and as his cause is undoubtedly a good one, and he has the whole will of the House with hint, and the wishes of the public, it must be confessed that he has chosen well the ground, the time, and the object of his attack. Mr. GLADSTONE, in moving the previous question, characteristically enough grappled at once with the high constitutional theory, to the greater glory of the mover of the Resolution. No Minister, no member is more constantly and em phatically solicitous of the rights and prerogatives of Parliament, more earnest in maintaining, more respectful in observing them, than Mr. GLaneroxs. No member of the House could with a better grace assert, as he did last evening, the distinctive rights and duties of the executive government in conducting the financial policy of the country. Mr. GLADSTONE contends that the " potency " of a Resolution of the House is relative, not absolute, in its nature and operations ; it depends on "the " subject matter." A Resolution urging the Go. remnant to increased expenditure, involving, per haps, increased taxation, would not have the same potency as • Resolution tending to reduction of the burdens of the people. But the "initiative" of the Cniatcsuon of the Elmo:Kris, on the other hand, should be absolute, and in practice it is so. For example, Mr. GIALDSTONZ cited the large minority in 1861 against the repeal of the paper duty, or rather in favour of repealing certain " war taxes " on articles of necessity in stead. Yet the Government proposed and carried the repeal of the Paper duty. Only the other day the House negatived • resolution urging the repeal of the Malt duty, not on the merits of the ques tion, but because it would not interfere with the responsible " " of the Government.

There is nothing, we suppose, presumptuous or excessive in this doctrine ; and if, se Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Mr. ()LAWTON) claims • wider range for the initiative of Government than as a mere member of Par liament he might be disposed to grant, he doss but obey the holies* instincts of official human nature. What if there be a grain of the proverbial vanity of authors in his doctrine of " initiative"? Does a translator of House like his metre to be arranged for him, and his epithets adjusted, by • " resolution " of well wish ing friends before he has given the completed work to the world and to the critics Still, there is no denying that the author's susceptibility was somewhat too transparent in Mr. GLADSTONZ% constitutional doctrine last evening. However jealous a Minister may be of his "initiative," the House of Commons is not easily persuaded that its Resolutions are nothing inure than "elements for consultation." Mr. HUBBARD and Mr. MALINS struck a chord of un failing " force and potency" when they demanded whether the country was to be " go " yarned entirely by the Administration for the " time being, or in some degree by the House of " Commons ;" and it might have taxed all Mr. GLADNITINZ) readiness and acuteness to answer the question, at what more opportune moment the House could vote inch a Resolution than before the Budget I The truth is, the mind of the House and of the country is resolved upon the reduction of the Fire Insurance Duty to a rate which would speedily repay, and more than repay, any momentary loss to the Exchequer. The House and the country alike condemn the Duty as it stands, on every ground of public policy and justice. The Resolution which was agreed to last evening was a reconnaissance in force against • position which, however gallantly de fended, cannot be maintained much longer. trbt Court. WINDSOR warm.

It was generally felt at the time when the original grant was voted that it would hardly prove sufficient, sod the experience of two years has shown that, owing to the peculiar and extraordinary demands chargeable to the purse of his royal highness, the first impression was not only justi fiable in itself, but has had infinite weight added to it. It is no secret th►t his royal highness affords in his house. hold management a model of careful and judicious economy, and we feel confident that the whole tattoo will approve of an addition to his income, which is equally demanded by his necessary requirsonente and by the wish of tit* public that Marlborough House should adequately represent not only the hospitality which it is the wish of its royal owners to dispense, bat also the dignity becoming the heir apparent of the Bridal efOwn. _ _ Her Majesty the Queen (says the Owl) will pro ceed to Coburg in August, to be present at the uncoveriag of a statue of the lamented Priam Consort.

Greeasaile.) NEW YORK, Maim 10, Emma The amounts from Sherman continue conflicting. Reports from Charleston to the 7th announces Sherman's arrival at Charlotte. Beauregard was hovering round his front. Rumours, through Southern sources, stale that Sherman had deserted Cheraw, retiring towards Charleston. Other accounts represent the fight at Cheraw as a cavalry engagement, Hampto ndefeat jug Kilpatrick. General Potter has advanced from Charleston to the Santee River without opposition. The fortifications of Augusta are being strengthened. The Southern journals now express more con fidence of Sherman's failure, and say his retreat would not surprise them. General Terry is 13 miles from Wilmington, on the north-west branch of the Cape Fear river, confronted by Hoke. Charleston is quiet, and business reviving. The arrival of detachments at Winchester with prisoners confirm Sheridan's suooess. Details received state that Custer's division at tacked and defeated Early's forms near Wayne. - borough, capturing 87 officers—Early's staff, 1,100 men, 7 cannon, and 100 waggons, and also a train of artillery stores prepared for transportation. General Early escaped. The Federal lose was 10 men. General Sheridan occupied Waynesborough. Custer was last reported within 10 miles of Charlotteville. Rosser attacked a detachment returning from Winchester, but was repulsed. Prisoners report that a heavy Federal force was advancing from East Tennessee towards Lynch burg. Unconfirmed rumours report the capture of Lynchburg. General Grant is reported to be awaiting fine weather for another attack on the south side rail road. Lee is strongly fortifying his line on the Roanoke River, to secure the possible retreat of Johnstone to Roanoke. _ The Danville Register says that Lee intends never to surrender Richmond until it is impossible to hold it. _ A meeting has been held at Danville, for sub scriptions to support Lee's army. The Governor of North Carolina has strongly appealed for provisions for Lee's army. NEW YORK, Xaacn 11, IfoaNnio. Refugees from Newborn report that Sherman occupied Fayetteville last week, and was within 40 miles of Raleigh. The Confederates were deserting companies, and going home. The people were nut heeding the governor's call, and in many cases were welcoming Sherman. A panic prevailed among the negroes since the announcement that they were to be conscripted into the Confederate army. The Confederate alave-owners were arming their slaves. The result of the conscription was that numbers of slaves were flocking to Sherman's army with the assist ance of their masters, promising to return to work for wages as soon as safe. The Federals from Newham have arrived near Kinston. The Confederates are reported to have abandoned the country between Newbern and Goldsborougb, evacuating Kinston on the 3rd. Beauregard is reported to be at Raleigh. Golds borough is being fog tified. The Confederates are said to have fallen back from their position on the Wilmington and Golds borough Railroad, 15 miles north-east of Wil mington. The Governor of North Carolina has announoed that for a few months Lee's army must rely for subsistence upon Virginia and North Carolina alone. _ President Lincoln has offered a pardon to all deserters returning to their posts within 80 days. The New York Times says President Lincoln does not propose at present to make any diplomatic ap pointment to France. It is reported that the government will imme diately ship the cotton captured at Savannah to England. NEW YORK, ItAsa( 11, EVYNTNG. The Washington Republican of yesterday says General Thomas has telegraphed to the government that scouts had arrived with information of Sher man having intercepted and crushed Cheatham's corps, which was moving from Alabama to reinforce Hardee. Hardee was not up in time and did not give battle. Johnstone is supposed to have attacked Sherman in front, but is said to have been defeated. The locality of the battle is not given. It is reported to be probably in the north of South Carolina. Scouts arrived at Wilmington announced Sher man's occupation of Cheraw. Up to that time nothing but skirmishing had occurred. Sherman's advance into South Carolina was a certainty. It is rumoured at Washington that General Schofield has had an engagement in North Carolina. Grant is reported to have discovered coloured troops confronting his pickets, showing that the Confederates had adopted the policy of arming the slaves, The Confederate Senate has paned the negro en listment bill, and it is supposed the house will ratify it.

EXPRESS FROM PA.RIS (nox can owls 00l PARIS, TUESDAY EVINIXO. M. Beavay's election for the Gard, which bad been twice quashed, was (on the third occasion) validated yesterday, about 40 members, led by M. Eugene Pelletan, voting against it. Yon may re member that the original ground for quashing the almost unanimous election of the constituency was that M. Bravay, a parvenu, who has been patron ised by the Pacha of Egypt, and made an immense fortune in Egypt, had promised to make a canal, and spent vast sums of money in treating. At the first election he was, although not the ostensible government candidate, patronised by the prefect of the Gard. On the last two occa sions the prefect was ordered to oppose him, b u t his popularity broke down all opposition. There is no doubt, in point of fact, that a personal objection to Lim, founded upon rumours about the nature of the services rendered to the Pacha of Egypt, which aided the acquisition of his large fortune, were at the bottom of the extraordinary opposition which his return met with in the chamber. But he has challenged inquiry, and publicly offered not to prosecute for libel anybody who will put in specific terms the nature of the charge against him. This challenge has never been taken up, and when Pelletan admitted that be did not oppose the election on personal grounds, he seemed to me to give up Lis case. It would be quite against th e nature of universal suffrage to go on cancelling an election against the unanimous wish of &constituency on account of malpractice. at a former election. This time, at any rate, the electors of the Gard were forewarned. I therefore find no fault with the majority which allowed M. Bravay to take his seat. MM. 011ivier and Darimon pusillani mously abstained from voting on the question. It is asserted that M. de Morny's political testament comprises these three reforms as urgent. 1. Ministeas sustaining their own measures before the Chambers ; 2. The right of asking questions of ministers restored to the deputies ; and 3. The renunciation of the system of official candidatures. There is no doubt about the intention of the Duke de Persigny to go to Rome. His presence at Mdlle. Valentine H►ueemann's marriage after the premature announcement of his departure led to some question of the news. But both he and the Duchess de Persigny are on the point of setting out for the Holy City ; and the Prune, which, under M. Emile de Girardin's direction, is often the most indiscreet of journals (using the word "in discreet " in the French sense), says that his object is to judge for himself of "the state of thingsand of public opinion at Rome." Now that the Duke de Morny is gone, the Duke de Persigny is beyond question the most considerable of all the men of 1851. It "I be a curious thing if Mr. Kinglake's "Fialin otherwise Persigny" shall be destined to make a report to the Emperor decisive of the ques tion of the temporal power. Two vacint seats for the councils-general have been carried by opposition candidates, and that by large majorities. At Rochefort M. Paul Beth monk the brilliant young deputy for the Charente Infdrieure, who has just made his dant in the Corps I4gislatif, was returned by a majority of 1,220. In the Sarthe M. JuignoS, the independent candi date, obtained 2,894 votes against 1,214 given to Metivier, government candidate. A local journal, La Chronique de l'Ouest remarks upon the latter election : If. Jeigni's candidature most bane bad very deep roots in the district to succeed agalest the homage efforts mad* by the administration in favour of its protlpi. This else tion is beyond oontmdictice the most splendid enema yet achieved by Indepordeat opinion. Decidedly aide candidatures are going to the wall. The students' journal of the Faubourg St. Ger main, the Rive Gauche, which got on the black list for publishing the first part of the " Propoa de Labienus," was seized yesterday for an article headed "Le Dynasties de La Pelisse." The respon sible editor, M. Guiliot, M. Closer Louguet, the writer of the article, and H. Laird, the printer, are all to be prosecuted. Short work will be made with the Rive Gauche this time ; its suppression is certain. The Gazette de Ombra says that the curd of Than-Saint Martin lately made use of the follow ing language in the pulpit : No pence is allowed to touch the Papacy with impunity. Look at Napoleon I. He caused the Pope to be wafted at Valenoe ; but shortly afterwards he was is his tern exiled is • foreign land, and the Pope »tamed to his States. Those who persecute Pins IX. m►y well end in the came way. Dissatisfied with some articles in the same Gazette, the curd said on another occasion : We have among us certain irreligious persona, she are is the habit of reading detestable jaersals, such as the petty paper called the Gazette de Casabrai. The editor of this pernicious sheet can seareely write Free& ; he confines himself to the reproduction of subversive article. which he borrows from the worst journals in Paris. The articles in question were taken, it appears, from the Conetitutiostiel and the Pattie, which go vernment prints are therefore denounced frogs the pulpit as the " detestable " journals. March 21, according to the almanack, is the first day of spring, but this year it was ushered in by severe winter weather. At 6 o'clock this morning Che►alier's thermometer marked 6 8-10 deg. below zero. It has been extremely cold all day, with a clear sky and one of those March suns which is "full of agues." The English mail due last even ing came in several hours bthindhand. This even ing there are no symptoms of any mitigation in the exceptional severity of the weather. There is thick ice in the gutters. At the Ponytails sale a head of Apollo, a mere fragment of a statue in Parian marble from the Justiniani gallery, was knocked down at 45,000 fr. The two busts of Julius Caesar and Nero in Orien tal red porphyry fetched 20,000 fr. The Daily News is seized.

At present a third class passenger from Titles or Ennis to Dublin could not reach the latter place in one day, although the distance might be travelled in six hours. Third-class passengers were o bliged to atop on their way. This he thought would be generally admitted to be a great hardship, sad one of the objects of his bill was to provide a remedy for it. But the main object of his measure was to empower the Board of Trade to compel railway companies to run at least one train each way on the Sunday.
