He did not come to lecture them; they had had lecturing enough. He came to tell them of the farce that was continually pilled at Westmitister, and how they, the holmaile, were ground down by those shove them. He had searched the shams to the lottom, and was determined to mamma them. It wee the people of the Isle of Wight who were at the bottom of the Os minable system which he denounced and trampled under foot. (A laugh.) His wee no private wrong. He had seen in the lions' den what tiles hail all seen nail all suffered, but not one of them had hat the courage to denounce it. It appeared from a long rambling statement, that having applied for a sum mons wind • person whom be described as a swindler, he bad been summoned next day at the suit of that swindler. The justices, it seemed, had refused his application where upon he had written a letter to the clerk Of the jusiices, on amount of which he was sued for libel at Westminster. He however pined the verdict, but the justices refund to dinner him. He appealed against them to Mr. Walpole, the then Hoene Secretary, and the then Lord Chancellor, who (obi him they could do nothing. This was the system id wish he complained. lu the coulee of a long incoherent harangue it occasionally dawned out that his presence had something to do with the game laws, the commit ments under which had fallen in the Isle id Wight by hi. exertieus and constant interference from sixty seven to twenty-eight per annum.

WOOD related in the House on Friday night Let our readers imagine • group of turbaned . strangers making sport in Westminster Abbey during service, singing Nile songs, setting up the dances of the hareem, and mimicking the officiating clergy, and they will be aware of the gravity of the case. There is no evidence that anybody else behaves thus in Egypt. The French are more popular there than we are, and deserve to be so, by their manners, whatever may be their ulterior aims. The Americans do not seem to know very well why they go up the Nile, and this may amuse the natives ; but they are, for the most part, considerate, and everywhere notorious for their repub lican good temper. The English alone are establishing the character of neither fearing GOD nor regarding man ; and when that character is established in any Mohammedan country it is certain to spread to all the rest. In India it is prevalent already ; and we shall never bring our national mind and will to bear on the good govern meat of India till itis better known at home than it is at present how outrageous are the manners of the generality of Englishmen to the natives of India. In the present case Ministers have taken imme diate measures to secure the exposure and the ' future harmlessness, we hope, of the offenders. There are Mohammedans in a country not far from Egypt of whom they might learn a lesson before they proceeded on their voyage. It might be useful to send them to the Lebanon, as the guests of such a chief as ABOU Bass, who would teach them moaners. It is not long since he entertained a party of Europeans who were much taken with his son —a noble child of seven years old. At supper the guests asked for the boy, and were told he was asleep. It was the father who told them so. After an evening of revelry, they slept well, and were to depart in the morning : but the host had a favour to ask first. He would not disturb their pleasure the night before, and had therefore restrained his own grief and his wife's, and said that his child was asleep at the moment that he had been killed by an accident. He now told the fact, that his child might have the honour of the fullest attendance at the grave. Here is a lesson in manners which even Christians may humbly receive. 411118 6 and b.

A Toes wish has been nourished into a rumour, and yeatenlay it was announced in print that the path of honourable members who dread the passing of the Reform Bill is to be made smooth by • compromise. The Government and the Conserva tive leaders, it was said, had been in communica tion, and the terms of agreement were settled. The greater number of the people who expect votes under the new Bill had, it was affirmed, been thrown over board by the Government, and the borough occu pation qualification was to be raised to 81. and the county qualification to 161. A pretty story I As if the Bill left any room for compromise ; as if it were not all compromise, a measure less compre hensive, less wise, and lets just than it should be, because in its very construction allowance was made for the hardness of the Parliamentary heart. We merely notice this pleasant illusion to state that there is no truth in the rumour, and that no negotiations for a compromise on the sub ject of the Reform Bill have taken place. The Anti-Reformers must find some other comfort. Ir seems as if a gift of good manners would be a great godsend at present. There are times when men everywhere appear to have lost, not only their tempers in the stir and pressure of threatening events, but that form of self-command which we call courtesy, and the present seems to be one of those times. There must be something unusual in the state of affairs when the Head of Christendom scolds like • spiteful woman, and when the leaders of Christian nations return rail ing for railing. There was a time when the pre cept "Be courteous" was taken to heart and practised as a distinctive trait of the religion which prescribed it, and a Christian gentleman was supposed to manifest his quality wherever he went by the nobleness and charm of his manners. But we witness other phenomena now. We see the chief representatives of infidelity in our own country appropriating the old Christian grace, and publicly teaching and proving, by precept and example, that " courtesy is a power," while the most osten tatious boasters of their religion are setting the example of manners which are absolutely revolt ing. The POP• may lead in the display of pas sion, overcoming all considerateness and modera tion ; but he is closely followed by Catholic and Protestant. The Austrian officials in Hungary, the French Foreign Minister in addressing the Swiss Government, and the French Colonels and journalists in menacing us ; the once high bred Spaniards, in venting all sorts of nonsense about our view of their late war—all these proud and boastful orthodox Christians have for some time been showing by example the extreme reverse of true Christian manners. We grieve to observe that Protestant Englishmen can behave just as ill as any of them, and without the excuse which may be made for the Pore and some others—that the world is falling into chaos around them, frighten , ing them from their propriety. For some years past accounts have reached this country of the serious political and social consequences of English bad manners abroad, and especially in India. Nearly u much has been said as can do any good about our ways on the Continent, where our countrymen walk right between the kneeling people in churches and the shrines where they are praying, and march up the altar steps in cathedrals in defiance of all entreaty irk Court.

THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. GENOA, MAY 1. Advicee have been received from Naples to the 28th ult., which state that theElettrioo had arrived at Naples from Palermo, bringing families of the military.

The government states that only a few hundred insurgents remain to he pursued. Letters affirm, however, that the supplies of provisions to the towns had been often intercepted. The recent struggles had caused great excitement. The details are still oontrsdictory. THE PAPAL STATES. BAKE, Aram WI (TM Marseille.).

Every day brings news that the insurgents still bold out, but hemmed in by the Neapolitan bat talions, and having spent their ammunition, their position becomes day by day more precarious. When the King was asked at Plorence to send as sistance to Sicily, he had to answer that he has not declared war against Naples, and therefore cannot do anything. Still it is said that a band of reso lute volunteers steers already towards the unfor tunate island, carrying anus and ammunition, and it is certain that if the insurgents can hold out for a few weeks' longer the preesure ight beeome so stmug as to force the new kingdom into a war with Naples. But it is scarcely credible that the patriots, cut off from the sea, could maintain thenuiolves in the mountain fmtnesaes for any length of time, since the revolution which was to break out in the Calabrias has not taken place. It does not seem, according to the last selvices, that Trapani is iu the halide of the insurgents. The scanty information which we get from the island is contradictory. So much, however, is certain, that the flying columns which were to scour the interior of the country ' have been successfully repelled by the insurgents. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OUR OWN coNageroNtiurr.) PARA TUESDAY EVENING , Count de Persigny leaves Paris for London this evening. He had a long interview with IL Thou venel yesterday. M. de Budberg, the Russian Minister at Berlin, has come to Paris. The common form announce ment that his journey is attributable entirely to private reasons, appears in the government journals. It is impossible, however, to avoid remembering on this occasion that rumours have long been current of an alliance between France and Russia, founded upon a concession to the latter power of everything which the Crimean war was un dertaken to prevent her from acquiring. The recent answer of Prince Gortschakoff to M. Thouvonel's circular on the subject of Switzerland and the neutralised provinces of Savoy, is so re markably favourable to French pretensions that one cannot but watch any symptoms of negotia tions between the Tuileries and St. Petersburg with scrupulous jealousy. The Pays announces very positively (is it for the last time 1) that the French army of Rome is pre paring to depart, and that the pontifical troops will forthwith be echeloned in such a way as to be able easily to join the advanced guard of the Neapolitan army now drawn up on the frontiers of the Roman States. All the evening papers confirm the news of yes terday, that the Count de Montemolin consents to recognise the sovereignty of Queen Labelle. The Pays, however, takes the precaution to add that the statement has no official character. The resolution of the captive prince and his bro ther is said to have been forwarded to the Queen on April 25, and that they justify their submission on the ground of the fruitlessness of their efforts. Humility is no doubt a virtue, but it may be misplaced, and the craven submission of these effete Bourbons now that they are in custody will command very little sympathy. It is said that the Count 51ontemolin got on board a Spanish vessel before lie was captured, and tried to bribe the captain to tarry him to Marseilles, but the captain was deaf to his offers, and forced him to go ashore. At the Bourse the Rents, after rising to 71, de clined to 70.80, closing with a fall of 10c., both for cash and account. Mobilier fell 38.75 ; the dividend declared at the meeting yesterday was only 12.50. The Orleans Railway fell 6.25, and the other lines from 2.50 to 5. There was no par ticular reason for the decline to-day except that the rise of yesterday was mainly attributable to large purchases on account of the defaulting broker, who was " executed." A pamphlet, or rather, judging from its high price, Mr., a book, by M. Dupin, entitled, " Lee libert‘s de l'Egliso Gallicano," with an appendix, " Sur l'Abus des Exoonnnunications et la question Romaine," will be publhdied on May S. M. Senator Laity was yesterday received by the Emperor, and communicated to his Majesty full details of his recent mission to Savoy. A Paris letter, in the HI. Petersburg Gazette, attrilintee the following remark to M. Cluisot, on the sub ject of the annexation of Savoy :—" The good fortune of Napoleon HI. makes one almost doubt even of the genies of Napoleon I." This observation is stated by the cote respondent to have created a certain sensation, and wan even repeated in the salons of the Tuileries. Ms. RICARDO, M.P., ON THE REFORM BILL.—• In • lettea just received by one of his constituents. Mr. Ricardo says :—" I think the Reform Bill has rather for Se object to reconcile all opposing iallueucea than to make • good and efficient me:were. At the mime time I am bound to tell you that, in my opinion, it ha. not quite succeeded in this respect, inaatiouclo as it is likely to meet with an opposi tion—not the leas dangeroue that it is in a great measure disguised—from the Conservative party, who seem to think that a Reform Bill ought to be bmuglit in which has no reform in it, and that the last thing it ought to contain is any extension of the franchise. The real friends of a re form in the representation of the people are not very numerous, though there are a great many members of par liament who Sr., constrained against their own private feelings to vote for it. It therefore lediovea all thee* who are really and truly sincere in the matter to watch carefully the progress of the measure now before parliament, which, though not all that could be desired, is at least • step in the right directaon.' ZOOI.OOICAL SOCIETY.—TIin annual meeting of this society was held on Mourlay, at their rooms, Hanover square ; Professor Owen in the chair. The following is the suhetauce of the reports of the council and auditors :—The present number of fellows and animal subscribers is 1,709, of whom 75 have been elected since the last annual meeting.

(lintels for allowing his unique collection of peafowls to be exhibited in the pr aline*, and the proceedings tennimitol. THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—Formllerly, alas, we entered the National Gallery with unalloyed satisfaction ; for itetwithatanding the timeliness and incomplete neer of the collection, excellence greatly predominated : and there was, at least, due proportion between the number of gnat and inferior works. But now that proportion is no more. Mere rubbish of large diumusious is beginning to prevail to an alarming extent ; and at the very outset of the collection the imagination is Mich UlitAllied and nauseated by the uncouthness awl imbecility of monkish altar-pieces with their gaudy framework --productions outraging contusion souse, Christianity nature, and art in every %Ay I Inagua-saints, aspect fit to preside at au Italian arum, virtualities in religious esprresion and artistic style only worthy of • Buddhist monastery - idiotically loatlesaue pietas' eta cruci fixes, over which reverence aull deceitcy would alike fain drop a veil. It is surely now high time that the habit of rc puhwsuch works- a hulk bred of antiquarians and eloquent writers who know little or nothing of art—should ' cease. We Clll4llllf willingly look upon our National Old kry as in any degree a museum of archaeology and historical illustration, hut eimply ao a gallery of art —of good and round art, of model. for delight awl emula tion, not a crowded accumulatiou of objects in thenwelvea worthless and hideous, however conducive to antiquarian erudition. The national feud. olondal not be Liviehel on such quaint awl dreary curiosities, to the cud that when some admirable work pratenta itself, thew, funds should le found exhausted, or inadequate. Many of those already collected are so utterly worthless, that we eanteetly lope the trustees will by and by avail themselves of the legal mamma of au auction for the winnowing and purification of the huge rasa ; or, at any ante, that they will wend them to the shady corridor' of 0116 of our ititusemns of historical and natural curiosities--Art J .0”1.
