THE coarse chosen by the Opposition in dealing with the Budget betrays the conviction that their rivals in office are too strong to be over come so long as Mr.(;uncross presides over the ll:chequer. Their unconcealed purpose, there foes, is to concentrate hostility upon objects which Mr. °LAWTON'S is supposed to have peculiarly at heart, in the hope that should they succeed in per seeding the House to reject some essential part of his financial scheme, his high spirit would proem' him to resign, not with his colleagues but without them, and that Lord Pometiurros, with nearly the whole of the remainder of the Cabinet, preferring power to honour, would, to save their places, separate their canoe from that of a oolleagne whose ideas they have never enthusiastically shared. No doubt it was upon this calculation that Mr. BAILING was induced to undertake the tali of opening a general debate upon the 'object, and it was doubtless with a view to the s=ecretion of this project that ho wee advised to throw oat many expressions of hope that no mere differences ea the Budget would lead to a cheap el Govern ment, an event which ha deprecated se at the present moment likely to prove highly inopportune. Similar seotiments were uttered during the debate by Mr. Roaamoir and others. Their general drift and tendency were too palpable to be mistaken by discerning and reflective hearers, yet, so long as the manteulrrin . g aim was wrapt in the robe of evasive or eloquent verbiage, than were many perhaps on whom the precise messing was lost ; and it was difficult, if not imposeible, to ix its authors with the responsibility of the Wen tion we have described. The speech of Mr. DIARAISLI, however, had the merit of a candour not possessed by those of his friends who presided him in debate. They had simply insinuated their willingness to respite the Paeans and his col leagues from political execution, provided they would repent and renounce the Paper Duty repeal; but Mr. Lissom.' offered laudations and rewards with the sir of a generous patron. They had only ventured to address the Govern ment collectively as a body of dolmen whoa* patriotism ought to induce them 104 take back a Budget in which a conopienens error had been pointed oat ; but the Masher for Backs boldly steps out of the ranks, enema the leer, claps his veteran competitor on the shoulder, and pointing to his distinguished lieutenant beside him, exclaims, in the hearing of both hosts, "Throw him over, " and I'll back you to hold the Premiership se curely for another year." What Lord PAI.MIANTON felt or thought at this audacious offer we know not precisely, for ho did not say. His speech was one which might have bees made es either of the previous nights of the disiumies i and he took as little notice of the proposal to mil the pre sent CRANCELIAIR of the reze, and to pur chase instead the friendiddp and support of his predecessor in that elks, s• if the &liege offer had not been made is proprid permed by the right hon. gentleman, or as if it had not been made at all. There is indeed • silence whisk is bitter than any speech ; and if Lord PaLMI2II7OIII wished ft to convey the impression that suggestions of the kind thus nakedly made by Mr. DIZILLELE were of a nature which he as • man of honour and consistency could sot understood, hie silence constituted • species of rebuke more contemptuous than any he could have embodied in words. The principal reason gives by the Passim for his desire that the Budget should peas as it stood was indeed a truly con servative one, and therefore, as might be rap. posed, distasteful to the abort-sighted party that with traditional tenacity cling to the notion that they and they alone are Conservative. There they nt, and chatter never-teasingly about the firm grip they keep of the cable, and of its strength, while the bow anchor of Church and State has long ago slipped from its holding ground, and the ship and its unconscious crew are steadily drifting down the stream of changeful time. Lord Psi, seiterox truly appreciates the danger of keeping open a question of constitutional privilege between the two Houses of Parliament. Fifty years' expe rience has not been thrown away on him, and he knows well that, underlying all party distinctions and rivalries, there exists in the House of Com mons a strong instinct of self-vindication and self assertion, as against any encroachment on its I authority by the House of Peers. Sooner than' precipitate a quarrel between the two Homes, he was last year willing to go great lengths in acqui escence under protest in the assumption by the Upper House of • power to veto the remission of a particular tax. But no man knows better than the veteran Viscount, that after what then oc curred it would be hopeless to get rid of the question of the excise duty on paper. The history of the country records no instance of the House of Commons having submitted to be stripped by the House of Lords of a great power and privilege they have once been accustomed to exercise. Again and again the repeal of the Paper Duty world infallibly be brought forward, sad every time the Lords would be dared or defied to refuse their assent. Sooner or later the Peen would be compelled to give way, as they have so often been on questions where their authority was far less disputable; and a statesman whose sympathies and feelings are confessedly far more bound up with those of the order to which he belongs than with those of any o th er, may well view- with distaste, if not with apprehension, the prolongation of a struggle, the only end of which V THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1861. could possibly be the triumph of democratic per militancy, and the humiliation of the Peers. On this ground the PALMIER urged the expediently of closing with the proposition now made by the Go- vernment, and so to afford an opportunity to the Upper House of placing itself once more in har mony with the Lower ; and in the true Conserva tive sense, sound and excellent the advice must be held to be. But Mr. DIRRAZLI and his followers care for none of these things. They are Conner , vatives in the obstructive sense only. They would preserve the gaps and breaches in the wall, because they arc there, instead of trying to restore them in order that it might stand the longer in its entirety. They would not allow even small and partial reparations to be made last year in the constitution of the Lower House ; and now they I would fain preserve and perpetuate a cause of grudge and ill-will against the Upper House for the merest party purpose. Mr. Gr.seeross is the only man since the days of Sir RAMIIRT PILL whom they have learned to hate and fear ; and to be avenged on him for all he has made them submit to, and all the ridicule with which he has covered them as a party, they are ready to acquiesce in any absurdity their chiefs may advise. Nobody knows better than Mr. Ducasaix bow to fool them to the top of their bent. He offers accordingly to forego office for the present, and to postpone the restora tion of peace between the two Houses, provided Ministers will throw overboard their ablest and most eloquent colleague. We cannot help think ing that if he was serious in making such pro- posals, they would not have been publicly made. But the chief of the Opposition well knows that he will have no majority on Thursday night, sad that consequently the case will not aria& He, therefore, thinks it •good occasion for humouring his party by making what they probably consider a rather magnanimous offer. CAPTAIN BRABAZON. TO TIN RDITOI or saes 1199111/111. Sts,-.-Conadering the fa'e of ay eon prejudiced by an article in the Times of Saturday, I should feel obliged by your giving this letter a place in your kowisal. The day is naturally gone by when public feeling was sensitively alive to the fate and sufferings of our prisoners in China ; affliction now alone remains with their familiar I have to complain that the Timm has attempted to crush cut all hope from those noble.minded men who still see a chance, however remote, of his restoration, and our labour. leg to effect it. IDM even authorised in saying that cue of the most intelligent minds and benevolent hearts in Europe does not consider the chance a desperate one, and after the strictest scrutiny does not think that either evidenoe or probe. bility justifies the assumption that my son was murdered se described, and on this opinion is the Russian government acting, and not by any means at the solicitatim of our ministry. Independent of the fate of my son, • question remains unanswered, affecting the honour of Wend and the interest of every family, of every class, connected with be army. It is this:—Did a young soldier, who fell in the I discharge of a desperate order (for be did not volunteer) to aim note. in the rear of • Tartar army drawn out in order of battle—did he, in his struggle for life, have that consideration and protection from his chiefs which was his due? Is the boast of Eng lied that she throws her shield before her sons in adverse fate an unworthy clap.trep, merely meant to catch than in thoughtless and heedless assemblies ? Lord Ilga shall be judged from his own math. Three days (Oct. 27) after the treaty was signed at Pekin, his despatch says, " All the prisouers have now been accounted fur except Captain Branum, of the Artillery. Manicure which reach as from various quarters lead us to fear that ha mat have seat with • violent death, and I am Molina to credit the report, although I have no patties evidence of its accuracy." Thu ends poor Captain Brahma Wirt do you think of this, parents al sublime ? Had his lordship been more communicative, be might have added, " Ceder exist ing circumstances the general and I have eaddered it expe dient to consult the wishes sad feelings at the Chars on this matter, es well as to save time and trouble, and to pat them to no further inconvenience about this soldier." He certainly acted up to this principle. My son was lest seen proceeding under guard to Sancolthein's army ; the Chinese weld have found no difficulty in communicating with it had a stern demand been made then, but they found saying they knew nothing about him to be satisfactory to our anthir rides. Why was not the canal, into which it was mid his detspitated trunk was thrown, dragged ? It is shallow and thin ; and a abadance of coolies to have executed the ceder if given wee close at band. People do not hesitate to say, for want of any other solution, why this obvious step was not taken—because our chiefs well knew the body wss not there, and it was desirable not to undeceive the public. I admit no other conduct could have been expected hem these gentlemen, who, at the heed of a victorious army, remained three weeks within gunshot of the sorrow. fel sighing of our prisoners, who were appointed to die, without running any risk for their relief, though only opposed by • panic.dricken, muted rabble and mouldering walls. nodes of Napier, Havelock, Nicholson, and Niel, look down with pity on the British arms. Fearing that feeling might prejudice me in the matter, I turned to the peps of the Timor, now disposed to stills inquiry, and find in the anther of December 11 an article that mat • tapas° in every breast in England—" Eternal Infamy would cling to the ambassador, generals, and armies who should cane bask from Pain without being able to prove to the world, by the palpable evidence of seise, that they have not left these men (Bonny and Brabeson) in the dacha of the Chinese ; if the tack of the Emperor's palace has produced the restoration of Mr. Parkes, Mr. Loeb, IL L. Eicheyrec, and our thirteen sokliere ; if the Chinese will only answer to such perenadves, let us admisider to them day by day, hoar by hour, so keg se aceseary ; and if there be no milder mane of coercion, eves destroy Pekin, palace by pale's, temple by Martha sad even house by house, until we oasis the release of our eountrysies, or absolute proof that they are beyond human aid."

The Nord of to-day contains a despatch stating that on the evening of the 24th ult. a conflict broke out between the English garrison and the people of Corfu. Twelve soldiers and eight inhabitants were wounded. The Irecidpendance Beige and the Paris papers represent the affair as having occurred at Zante. The Patric of last evening says :—" It is asserted that the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands has issued a proclamation, in which he declares that should the disturbances which have broken out at several points continue, the country will be placed in a state of siege." The same paper asserts that Corfu is militarily occupied, and that the troops are encamped in the squares and sheets. DREADFUL EARTHQUAKK-7,000 LIVES LOST. LISBON, Aram 30.

The IndBpendance Beige lately represented that the absence of Prince Metternich at the first re ception of Vely Paella, after his arrival in Paris, was a symptom of serious differences between Turkey and Austria. This is altogether a mistake. It happened that the secretary of the Turkish em bus), from want of knowledge of the recognised etiquette in such cases, issued cards of invitation to the corps diplomatique addressed to "the Em bassy," instead of the " Ambassador." Not only Prince Metternich but Lord Cowley and M. de Hisseleff thought fit not to consider themselves per sonally invited by a card so worded, and sent their attache to pay the visit of ceremony. This is nothing more than the counterpart of the old story of • lieutenant-colonel of an English regiment ab senting himself from a ball to which the " officers" only were invited, no special mention being made lof his name. This merely formal affair has been entirely cleared up, and Prince Metternich as well as the other two ambassadors have now paid per sonal visits to Vely Pacha. The note in the Pet►ie justifying the prolonged occupation of Rome is considered semi-official. The Prase describes the two first of its reasons as "obscure though short," and regards the last— viz., the strategetical argnment—as the only one of any solidity. On this head the Prow calls to mind that IL Billault lately spoke of the necessity of oc cupying Rome as • precaution, lest a collision should occur between Italy and Austria. The Monde construes the occupation as founded on the above reason, and declines to draw any comfort from it in its own ultramontane point of view. There is • rumour that the Pope has bad positive notice that the French army will come away by July 1, but I am afraid it is not true. The Pays, which has shown itself highly sympa thetic for all annexationist movements in the West India Islands, whether in favour of France or Spain, hastens to contradict the statement of several foreign journals that France had protested against the recent events in Hayti. The French consul, it says, merely struck his flag, which is simply an " expectatire" sot.

SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 26th alt have arrived. One of them states that Baron Tecco, the minister of King Victor Emmanuel, who 'till remains in that capital, had had a conference with the President of the Council, on which, without treating officially the question of the recognition of his Majesty as King of Italy, he expressed a wish to know what are the sentiments of the govern ment with regard to recent events in that country ; and that the Duke de Tetuan frankly answered that Spain oould not recognise the kingdom of Italy before the great powers had pronounced on the matter, but that she was ready in a European congress to give the Italian question a solution fa vourable to Italian liberty and independence. SPANISH ANNEXATION. The following letter from the Havannah appears in the Opinion Nationale : The Dominicans took no part in the movement of the 16th March by which their country was again violently brought under Spanish domination. Santana and a few accomplices, all Spanish emilrants, and the captains poem! of Cuba and Porto Bioo, were the only parties concerned in the conspirecy. The Domi nicans protested with indignation. The arise d " Inds peados.' for ever!" "The republic for ever!" raised by the real inhabitants, wine responded to by aim of " Tbe Queen for ever!" from the Spanish innimariea. The reap ardor had been cleverly prepared and was thoroughly sm. esedul. A great many arrests were made, and the town was occupied militarily by the invaders, a Spanish fleet en tered the port and landed 7,000 soldiers, 16 pureed cannon. hones, munitions, and in fact a conirdete ineedrid of war. The Spanish army of occupation is placed ander the isininand of General Pelee; chief of the general staff in Cuba. It is impossible to imagine the rights of a free people more completely trodden under foot. The foreign merchant' residing at St. Domingo were noires surprised and saurdalieed than the Dominicans themselves, and the eon mils of France and England, after en energetic pretest, hauled down their flags. The journals of Havannah, being under the absolute control of the captain-general, of course did not mention this last significant fact. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, Ann. 30.
