LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 25. TH t Chinese arts of evasion and delay are emulated is the tactics pursued by the Anti- Reform party in Parliament. Our wars in the Celestial Empire have always been wearisome and unsatisfactory, because the enemy has had neither the national pride nor the military spirit to engage in a fair stand-up fight. So it is with Mr. Disitema and his followers. Only the other day their own morning organ was reproaching them with imbe cility. They now appear to have recovered their wits just far enough to carry out the meanest and panned policy of evasion and delay. Last night their miserable plan was disclosed. Mr. WALPOLZ, Sir ST A /FORD NORtHCOTL, and Mr. DLIZAELL, taking advantage of the fact that the Treasury has not received Parliamentary authority to pay its bills for printing and stationery, the salaries of County Court judges, the wages of prison warden, and hall s-dozen other little matters, and needed • vote on account for 400,0001., came forward to stipu late that, if the money were given, the Reform Bill should be thrown over. This was the mean ing of Sir gretroito Nomecors's declaration that he should object to the vote on account unless it was distinctly understood that they were to have the discussion on the Estimates " immediately after Whitsuntide," i. e., at the date set down for going into committee on the Reform BilL Mr. Wee.roes asked the Houae . to give "a strong expression of its opinion "on the same subject. Mr. WALPOLE prizes the old right of the House of Commons to present wrongs for redress when the Crown asks for money. "If " they consented," he said, "to take votes in " this manner, they would be depriving the House " of Commons of its right to bring forward ques " tiers of grievance on going into oommittes of " sup p ly." So the grievance is accordingly brought forward. It turns out, however, to be not one of the old kind, a grievance of the people, but the personal and party griefs of Mr. WALPOLI and hie associates. The "grievance" is that the Ministers of the Crown have proposed to make the constitu tion of the House of Commons a very little more popular than it is at present. If her BLinirre's Government will forego this attack on the cherished exclusiveness of Toryism, and let things proceed in the path of privilege, the Crown may have the money it wants ; if not, not. These tactics did not succeed last night. The House went into cow mittee, and discussed the estimates as much as it thought proper. But the game, we cannot doubt, will be played again. We b•ve too often insisted on the importance of a full and deliberate examination of the estimates by Parliament to be 'ranting in sympathy with any bola fid , endeavour to do justice to the country when the public money is in question. But we must be excused if we distrust the seal of Mr. DI/MAI:LI to make little savings in the votes which h►ve passed through the fire of Mr. Gemeeross's scrutiny. The concern which the Opposition display for the progress of public business would have been use ful and becoming if it had been assumed at the commencement of the debate on the Reform Bill. But Mr. Diee•rees discreditable abdication of his functions during the discussion on the second reading of that bill caused a waste of opportuni ties of legislation which it is too late to repair. It is still, however, in the power of the Govern ment to defeat, as they did last night, the machinations of those who grudge the nation the least extension of its privileges, and the public look to them to give proofs of the vigour of their intentions. THE personal explanations with which Lord CLARENcs Pamir was compelled to occupy the House of Commons for a short time last night will be received with as much satisfaction out of doors as they were by the House. Nothing could be more complete than the answer of the Swan. TARY of the ADMIRALTY to the imputations which Mr. Lvooe brought to the notice of Parliament. The facts and the correspondence he laid before the House not only showed that the charges against him were groundless, but that he had kept the honour of Parliament and of the Government of the country distinctly and steadily in view. While congratu lating the noble lord and the assembly of which he is a member on the full and ready manner in which he repelled the rumours unfavourable to his character, we would not be understood as casting any reflection on Mr. Lvoon, who dis charged • thankless duty to the House when he brought this subject under its notice. The time of Parliament is not to be taken up in examining every report born of idleness and malevolence which may be circulating against of persons, but we trust the time is far distant when frank and serious endeavours, dictated by a regard for the honour and purity of Parliament, Int Court.

It also added , "Even the Neapolitan police are commencing to desert their master," and terminated with " Viva it Re Emmanuel," "Viva Garibaldi." The Opinion Nationale publishes the following despatch, dated Messina, 22nd inst. : " There is a great panic among the authorities ; the inhabitants are joining Garibaldi in crowds. Great numbers of strangers are quitting the towns. The soldiers have taken refuge in the forte." A Toulon letter in the Gazette du Midi says All the mewls which arrive here from Genoa aneounce that the preparations for sending reinforcements, provinces, arms, and ammunition to Garibaldi are made almost pub licly. Every evening, on leaving the theatre, the public p down to the beach to be present at the embarkation, whin tate place at night to awe appearances. The agita tion, moreover, is at in bright, and it appears that the au thorities would not have the power, if they had the wish, to oppose the expedition. The general plan of Garibaldi's movement (ob serves Galignani) appears to have been modified, as he is now directing all his efforts and resources towards Sicily alone in order to make that island, if he should succeed in becoming master of it, the basis of subsequent operations; against the kingdom of Naples. All volunteers are, until further orders, to be directed by small detachments towards Sicily ; they will, it is arranged, land at points previously fixed on, and thence proceed to headquarters, where they will be formed into companies and batta lions. If success crowns Garibaldi's efforts, he hopes, the latest accounts from his friends state, to organise a formidable expedition, make a descent on Calabria, raise the country, and extend the in surrectionary movement from the south to the north offdre kingdom. The Neapolitan government appears to understand the great importance of energetically defending Sicily. Six squadrons are to be charged with the guard of the coast, and they will be com posed of about fifty vessels of war of all sizes. The superior command has been confided to Count d'Aquila, the King's uncle, who has the direction of the east and of the naval affairs of the kingdom. The statement of the Movitnerito of Genoa, that Garibaldi had entered Palermo, has not bean con firmed. LETTER FROM NAPLES. (ram • 001IMPONDKNT.) NAPLIMI, MAT 19. Yesterday (May 18) Salvati, the oominisieszy of police, and the Artillery captain, Le Came; went to the Bourse, and, after having commanded silence, officially proclaimed that Garibaldi had cut his , throat in consequence of the utter rout and disper sion of his . followers. These gentlemen then pro ceeded to fix the price of the funds at 1121. It is worthy of remark that neither this false news, nor the previous news of the death of Garibaldi's son and the victory of Calatafimi, were communicated to the corps diplomatique. The Neapolitan go- vernment may sport with its own subjects, but it has still too much respect for the legations to at tempt to cram them with such palpable lies. I will now tell you what has really occurred in Sicily. Garibaldi landed at Marsala on the 11th, amidst the acclamations of a crowd, which had flocked from all the country fifteen miles round to see him. The rallying point of all the Sicilian insurgents and their liberators is Carleoue, • town in the interior of the island situated amidst impregnable mountains, and the terminus of a great many roads. Garibaldi immediately on his landing named • provisional government, of whom young Manin is one. The Neapolitan government at once ordered its troops to concentrate themselves upon Palermo and Mes sina. It was while fulfilling this order that General Landi, abandoning the western part of Sicily, was fallen in with by Garibaldi at Calata fimi. Landi little expected such a vigorous attack. He could not resist it, and fled iu disorder to Palermo, leaving behind him 4 guns, 100 dead, and a great many wounded. During his two days' march to gain that city be was harassed on all sides by the population,and hotly pursued by Garibaldi's men. Garibaldi himself halted near Palermo. It is stated that he has advanced as far as Boghers and Monreale. From one of these places he issued • proclamation, in which he told the Sicilians that if he could have realised to himself beforehand their splendid courage and enthusiasm he should have come among them " alone." At Palermo the agitation is intense. Neapolitan families, wild with terror, rushed madly on board the boat which arrived here on the 17th. The individual who writes these lines was on the quay when they landed. He saw women kneel down and kiss the Neapolitan soil, on which they' think they are safe ; he heard their cries, their nar ratives, and saw the expression of terror in their countenances. They report that Landi's division entered Palermo without arms or baggage; and in a most miserable plight. The panic soon spread in Naples. The government was alarmed at it, and drew up the note which has just appeared in the official journal in the hope of reassuring the public mind. The news of Colonel Bixio'a death seems not improbable. At ell events I learn from a private nouns that • superior officer of Garibaldi's forte, who rode by himself far in advance of his column, and close up to some retreating Neapolitan troops, was shot deed by a soldier who was lying down within a musket's length of the spot at which he halted. Six vessels of war have just left foe Palermo, taking I with them nothing but provisions. We expect to see them back soon, with the Palermo garrison, which, in all probability, will not be able to hold out long. Calatafimi, now so much talked of, is mentioned by Viscount do Marceline, in hie travels in Sicily, as • place having nothing curious about it but its name, which is half Arabic and half Greek. It means the castle of Euphemius, and was formerly inhabited by the traitor of that name, who, follow ing the fatal example of Count Julian in Spain, sent for the Saracens. THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The Marquis de Lavalette, in poring g through Athens, was received with great distinction. A banquet was given in his honour by the court. The Sultan has transmitted a complimentary massage to the Marquis de Lavalette. Everybody is preoccupied with the importance of his mission, and is awaiting his course of action and the speech which it is said he will address to the Sultan. The Porte has deferred replying to the Servians until after having consulted with the Powers. England is stud to persist in her opposition to the hereditary rights of Prince Miloech. Omer niche is expected to arrive at Constanti nople on Saturday next. It is said that he will be commissioned to repress the agitations among the Sclavonic populations. A democratic ministry has been appointed in Moldavia. The Senate has impeached the former ministers. The ministry of Wallachia is said to be on the point of dissolution.

PARIS, THIIIISDAT The despatches of the day are on the face of them unfavourable to Garibaldi's cause ; but as they are all oonfessedly eesssimaiested by the Neapolitan government, which steads convicted of habitual falsehood, they are not entitled to the least credit. It is no doubt possible, however, that the seal of the partisans of the Sicilian cause may have be • frayed them into exaggerations of the success of the insurrection ; and, putting all things together, it may be admitted that it is doubtful whether Palermo was taken on the 21st. The Petrie men tions, " under all reserve," an assertion that so late as the 22nd the royal Sag was still floating on the citadel. I have reason to know, however, that at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the utter discomfiture of the King's troops is not thought doubtful. The Opinion Nationale, which hitherto has had very good information, gives as the very latest new' that Garibaldi is totally master of the situation, is proclaimed dictator, and has appealed to universal suffrage in favour of the annexation of Sicily to Victor Emmanuel's kingdom. The assertion of the Neapolitan embassy here that there is no longer "a single insurgent in Sicily" is interpreted in an oracular sense. When "insurgents" are I undisputed masters of a country the appellation maws to be applicable to them. I call your attention to the following ominous pump in a Turin correspondence, of May 21, in the Pays : The rumour which begins to circulate that overtures have been made to Piedmont to join the Franco-Russian alliance, relative to the settlement of the Pastern question, is particularly flattering to the amour propre of this coun try, and tends to become the leading subject of political debate among us. Another rumour, which has pined continually-increasing credit within the last forty-eight hours, and according to which Austria also w.ll come into the alliance, suggests to many minds the joyful hope that the cabinet of Vienna will perhaps before long give up Venetia, in exchange for a large concession of territory in the East. Although the above paragraph probably ex presses wishes rather than facts, it is especially worthy of note that a French government journal recognises the existence of the Franco-Russian alliance, which has been strenuously denied. A letter from Chateaubriand (Loire Inferieure) affirms that catholic Brittany—the old Armories, the country of the Chouans--has furnished but nine volunteers in all to General Lamoriciere, al though he himself is a Breton. If these things are done in a green tree, what shall be said in the dry f If Brittany canvassed furnishes but nine soldiers for the holy war, what must be the pervading sen timents in France generally ? At the Bourse the Rente opened with some firm ness ; business was very dull in the middle of the day, and there was decided weakness at the close. The last prices were 69fr. 40c., both for cash and account, there being a rise of tic. Mobilier rose 2fr. 60o.; and Credit Foncier, 10fr. In railways there was very little change. ALLEGED INTERCEPTION OP ROYAL COE• RESPONDENCE. The Prussian journals are now engaged in a dis cussion as to the means whereby the contents of a despatch from the Prince Regent to the Prince Consort of England have been brought to the knowledge of the French govern• meat ; and an interview has taken place between the Prince de la Tour d'Anvergne, the French ambassador at Berlin, and M. von &Malaita, the Prnasian Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject. The journals speak of theft of despatches having been discovered, and one states that the content of the despatch in question can only have become known through an indiscreet communication in ministerial circles on the Eng lish side of the ChanneL A Duseldorf paper hes the following account of the interview between M. Schleinits and the French Ambassador, which it states it has received from • good source : " At the latter end of the preceding month the French Ambassador at the court of Berlin, the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, called on the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Schleinita, and after some civilities, spoke of the value which the Emperor placed upon the friendship of Prussia Exclusively to avoid any unpleasantness on the subject, the prince requested N. Schleinita to give bin. any information he possessed as to the authenticity of a , document the copy of which he presented. It p , to be a letter sent from the Prince Regent to the Consort of England, in which family matter" were spoken of, and then someremarks on the politics o 111. happened to be mentioned. N. Schleinitz replied that he could give no information respecting the document, since he was not acquainted with the private correspondence of that high personage. His excellency, however, urged that he must receive explanations upon the matter. His imperial master had always entertained the best wish.. towards Prussia, and bad believed that his sentiment were reciprocated by that country, and yet Prussian assurances and the expressions contained in the letter lie produced were opposed to that belief. Baron Schleinitz hereupon answered that he was minister in • constitutional state, and that the ministry of his country were responsible for all official political nego tiations and correspo ndence with foreign countries ; an that, if any inquiry on the matter should take place, he would not withhold the information sought, in came reasons of state did not forbid such a com munication to be made. Respecting the correspondence which the Prince Regent personally had with hie august friends or relations, the minister of a constitutional coun try had not the right to control the private communica tions of the Prince Regent, especially since they had no official character. These reasons, and the respect which must be most carefully preserved in a constitutional coun try towards the highest personage, forbade the Minister to initiate an investigation, or to hold an inquiry whether the document were genuine or not. The French Ambas sador, apparently prepared for this objection, replied that his inquiry was purely of • formal nature, and could in no way interfere with the political importance of a good under standing between France and Prussia : but as the official assurances nod the content of the letter were so widely opposed, it would be plainly seen and pointed out by M. Schleinitz that the copy of the document was not &minim. M. Schleinitz answered that it was no question for Dim whether the copy were forged; as he naturally could not decide that point, since he neither knew anything of the private correspondence of the Prince Regent, nor could he be concerned in it. What necessarily came next for his consideration was that he possessed no authority, and that be must decidedly decline, to institute an inquiry or an investigation into the contents of the letters which his royal highness exchanged with his august connexions. However, Prussia was convinced of the high value of a good understanding with France, and nothing had taken place on the part of the former country in opposition to that feeling, while France had no reason to doubt the genuine mos of the assurances of the Prussian cabinet. On this the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne replied that if N. &hie'. nits so decidedly declined to give him the wished for infor mation, nothing remained for him but to await further in structions. The prince then renewed his request for infor mation from M. Schleinitz, and signified to him that in ore be continued to decline to grant the explanation, no other way remained to convince the Emperor of the genuineness of the sentiment. of tke Prussian Cabinet than a personal interview between the Emperor Napoleon 111. and the Prince Regent."

NESTING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. A general meeting of the magistracy of Middle sex was held yesterday, at the Guildhall, Westminster, to consider business relating to the county. Mr. POWNALL took the chair. The ►ttendance of magistrates was very 1110.111010111. Mr. Yams, Deputy Clerk of the Peace, haring read the minutes of the preceding court, which were paced, laid before the chairman some parliamentary hills and pap e rs affecting °minty interests, a bill relating to coroners, • county rates bill, the Indictable Offences Bill, and the Sale of Wines Bill. The ellArnitAx moved that them bills be referred to the committee for accounts and general purposes, particularly that relating to county rates. Mr. ARMSTRONG recommendel the re-formation of the parliamentary committee, but the motion of the chairman was put and earned. On the report of the committee for account' and gmael purposes, the fees for twenty i nques t s i n Mr. Wakley's aoeount, and eleven in Mr. Bedford's, were disallowed, as having been unnecessarily held, and nineteen in Mr. Hem. phreys's account stood over for further inquiry. THE PEISONE. The reports of the visiting justices of the poisons were brought upp and read. There were 1,238 prisoners in the House of Csefeetios, Coldtoth.fiekla ; at Westminster, 131 boys and 556 females ; and iu the House of Detention, 219. It was dated in the Coldbath•fields' report that " the visiting justices :egret toreport to the court that on the 19th of April last James Cuckatun, a sub-warder,Was assaulted by John Buck, a prisoner, who struck him so violent a blow on the back of the skull with the head of a broom, that the scalp was cat to the bone, to the extent of two inches, and it was a fortnight before the surgeon was able to pronounce him out of danger. Nor is be yet sufficiently recovered to be able to resume his duty, his nervous system in particular remaining much shaken by the severity of the injury. The prisoner was committed to the Central Criminal Court and indicted for the capital offence of cutting and wounding with intent to murder, a coast for assault for grievous bodily harm being added. He was convicted on the latter count, and thereupon sentenced to three calendar months' imprisonment, to take effect after the expiration of his exists bag term. The visiting justices feel that remarks are not to be lightly made upon the exercise by a judge of the dis cretion which the law vests in him, but they, nevertheless, consider it their duty to remark that the gravity of the crime committed in the present instance, and the vital im of protecting the lives of the various officers, ee demanded in their opinion a much more severe punishment than that which has been imposed upon the prisoner Buck. 'James Cuckston, the officer inMred, baying, in consequence of the shock to his nervous system, felt himself unable efficiently to discharge his duties, has requested leave to resign, but the visiting justices strongly recommend the court to defer the acceptance of his resig nation until Christmas next, and to give him leave of ab sence, in the hope that rest from fatiguing duty and change of air and scene may re-establish hie hollth." Mr. Corram, in the absence of the chairman of the com mittee, called attention to this portion of the report. A good deal had been said about flogging both in prison and out of prison, but he had faith in flogging prisoners for these atrocious seta. He knew many instances in which the com mittee had felt constrained to order flogging, and three dozen had had the effect of restraining the most desperate. In cases of this sort it was the only kind of punishment that was of any real use, and, for so serious a crime as Buck com mitted, a sentence of three months' imprisonment was, as he had before said, moat inadequate. On the report of the visiting justices of Westminster Prison, and of a special report of a committee appointed to consider the desirability of all male prisoners being sent to the House of Correction, Coldbath.fields, and all females to Westrqinstar, the court made an order to that effect, to come ffito operation on the 25th of June, on which day all the male prisoners then in Westminster Prison will be transferred toColdbath-fields. The committee recommended ..,....... that on the 26th of June the services of the governor be dispensed with, and other officers, and that the present matron be appointed keeper. The reports were adopted and the recommendations agreed to. TILE a ►t.L OF GAS ACT. A deputation from the gas meter mannfactorers of Great Britain, consisting of Messrs. Thomas Glover, Meade, Hulett, and Defnes, presented a memorial relating to the delay in making the appointments of inspectors of meters ' under the Sale of Gas Act pissed last session. In the course of a discussion it was stated that it was contemplated by Lord Redealale to bring in a bill to amend the act, and if that bill related only to an alteration in the scale of fees.. was thought, and not to the main provisions of the act, the court would proceed to elect inspectors on the 19th of July, or if neemeary, before that day, at • special court to be convened by the clu.irman, on the model pa holder being deposited in the Exchequer. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE said they bad appointed their inspector in the City, and expected to be shortly in full operation. They understood that the government would have the standards or models ready early in June, and premises were being fitted up for the office under the direc tion of the inspector. The deputation said it was of the utmost importance that the inspectors should be appointed without any fur ther delay. Their trade would be stopped virtually. They then withdrew. On the motion of Mr. Corrasm, • sum not exceeding 1,200/. was granted for the fittings and furniture of the Bossious.house Clerkrnwell, DOW nulling, &c. The other b usiness was of a formal nature, and the court adjourned. Ma. BAse, M.P.—We regret to state that our excellent member Mr. Baas is obliged for a time, to retire from his parliamentary duties on account of the extremely deranged state of his nervous system, occasioned by over work. Mr. Baia has been unwell fur some time past ; but, contrary to the urgent remonstrances of his medical adviser, his anxiety to attend to his parliamentary duties would not yield to advice, until at length he was compelled to submit, and to act, upon the recommendation of Dr. Beaman without delay. The hon. gentleman placed his resignation in the hands of his friends, who, however, would not listen to any snch suggeetion and at a meeting representing all motions of the Mienl party—Churchmen and Dissenters— strong sympathy was manifested towards him, and hopes expressed that by abstinence from public and private business, and a brief sojourn abroad, he will return to public life with an invigorated constitution, and with that genial temperament which is so characteristic of the man. As his political opponent, the Mercury, says, "We earnestly hope that the relaxation which Mr. Baas so much needs, and which none can begrudge to a member who has been so indefatigable us he is in the discharge of his duties, may teed to complete his restoration to perfect bealth.• We are sure that this sentiment animates every man in the borough of Derby, whatever may be his political opinions; and it mast he gratifying to Mr. Bass's feelings to fi nd tat he is held in such high esteem by the iuha bitaats of Darby. Mr. Bees will pair in favour of the Reform Bill with some manlier of the Opposition benches. —Derby Reporter. Tag FLOATING POPULATION OF THE Mr. D. W. Harvey, the Commissioner of the City of Lon don Police, has, upon the application of Mr. Alderman Cubitt, Chairman of the Police Committee, caused an ac count to be taken by the police of the number of persona entering the City within &given period. The result shows that the amazing number of 706,1121 individuals passed into the City by its various entrances during the 24 hours tested; and as the day selected for the enumeration was free from any extraordinary attraction to the City, there can be no doubt that the return furarshes a fair estimate of the aver age daily influx. Of the 706,921, the aggregate of this census et a day, 49,242 only, or less than one fourteenth, entered during the night, viz., between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. It is hardly necessary to add that these num bers are altogether irrespective of the resident population; Tau SECOND FAXODUB.—After all, the stare and stripes seem to have more attraction for the Irish emigrant than the cross and keys. To the letters of the celebrated Father Cahill, late of Dublin, and for some time a resident in the United States, is attributed in • great measure this second great flight of the Celtic mos from Ireland. Tipperary, north and *oath, appous to he the chief point of departure. The Conn& Ckrootele of Wedces thus reports :—" The tide still flows onward, and vast numbers of the peasantry, although the country was seldom so prosperous as now, are still leaving for the 'Far West.' The rage for emigration would seem to be general, nor is it easy, considering the high rate of wages for all sorts of labour, to guests as to what is the probable cause. This morning twenty families, chiefly from the county of Waterford, passed on from this by train, en route for Liverpool, whence they intend to start for America. We learn that large remittances have been received by them from their friends there to assist them, besides the ad vantage of a free passage for their distant voyage. Our coteroporary, the moot Guardian states that crowds are leaving that locality ; probably the bright hopes held out in the dreaming productions of Dr. Cahill' alluring the incredulous peasantry to forsake their friends and native land !" Tau Caors.—The grateful change which recently took place in the weather has throughout the whole of this district produced • most pleasing improvement in the growing crops of all descriptions. The mil forebodings of a late and deficient harvest, which a short time since were continually being uttered, are changed into thankful ex pressions of astonishment at the wonderful alteration which is everywhere visible. Front the menhir, and from the fens—from chalk lands and clay lands—we now hear only of indications of coming plenty. With graziers, who scarcely know whets to obtain fodder for their stock, tho difficulty now is where to obtain stock for their pastures. In the rich marsh district this is especially the (age, for there so rapid has been the production of herbage that we are maned on good authority that in three or four days last week the grass grew more than in any fortnight of the pre. ceding year.—Stautford Mercury. FAILURE lot BIZMINOKAW—The failure of Mr. Jolts Plimley Edwards, merchant, of Birmingham, in the Zest India trade, was announced late on Tuesday, and a meeting of the creditors held ywiterdiv. The liabilities ar med 810,000 e. Edwards has absconded, and a reward for his apprehension is offered. The day lie went he got bills dis counted in London, amounting _Without 4,0001. A petitioo in bankruptcy has been filed. Edwards had been intrude only three or four year*, and his failure will really be • calamity in the town, his indebtedness being to so many persons who were not in a position to bear the loss.
