The speech of Mr. ROEDUCr: at Bath is well worthy of attention. A great Liberal assemblage was held in that city on Tuesday evening last, at which the working classes presented a handsome testimonial to Mr. PIIINN, the defeated candidate at the late election. Mr. ROEBUCK, M.P., and several other members of the Legislature were in vited to honour the meeting with their presence. After the complimentary ceremony was concluded, Mr. ROEBUCK took occasion to aealress the assembly. He reminded them of his last public appearance in Bath, seven-and-twenty years ago, in the midst of all the strife and political agitation that ushered in the Reform Bill of 1832. Mr. ROE BUCK, an independent and consistent Reformer, proudly referred to his defence of the bill on the occasion of his unsuccessful contest twenty-seven years ago. In answer to the lamentable prophe cies so freely indulged in at that time, he pointed out the fact that England had improved more in the Last 27 years than in any 27 years of her history. " She alone," observed the hon. gentleman, " She alone of all mankind is a free trader, and she is the greatest traticr of all man kind." No wonder, after such a triumphant vindi cation - of his former principles, that the member for Sheffield should insist on the necessity of the additional and complete reform of the representation of the people; justly maintaining that it must be wrested from those in power by the loud and unani mous voice of public opinion. Oa one point Mr. RoEntoK especially expressed our own views by insisting on the importance of the ballot, the key stone of real Reform. "It will come," he said, and the realisation of that cheering prophecy are fitly depends on the resolute and consistent course of in dependent Liberals like himself, supported by that portion of the great body of the people who honestly desire the diminution of those corrupt influences which are a disgrace to our constitutional govern ment. 1.t4 aliu:ion to the coming session, Mr. ROEBUCK expressed Ilia anticipations that it would be chiefly occur led by the discussion of He (Leprecated the idea of our joining in the proposed Congress.. He gave the following sound advice to our legislators: " I would say to England's; rulers, consider, first and foremost, the inter eats ( - X England. Po not mix yourselves up in contin , , Taal polities. It may suit certain gentlemen to ay pear as great men at a Con gress of the Great PoT .rers of Europe, but it will not suit England." He had lately .heen much abroad, lic said, and h id heard our policy often dis-. foreign affairs. cussed. M. DE MONTALEMBERT had called our position ignoble, but he denied the accusation. "M. MONTALEMBERT may wish to keep the POPE upon his throne by English bayonets ; and other friends of Italy may wish that we drove out the three dukes by English bayonets. We should make enemies whatever course we took. We should make enemies of those whom we put down, and we should make ungrateful friends of thos e whom we 1 set up. Therefore I say to England, keep your selves, my insular countrymen, in your own island ; mix not yourselves with European contests. If you are attacked, strike back a blow that shall an nihilate the invaders and maintain our position. (Applause.) If you wish for friends, look at the great colonies that you have established in the world. If we are to adopt this course, there are millions of men speaking the English language who have derived from England their literature, their institutions, and their laws, who would then be ready to maintain us in the position we now hold, as the only free people in Europe. We alone have a free press; we alone have a Govern ment which represents the people ; we alone de serve the name of freemen. (Applause.) Shall we say that we at this time are afraid of anybody ? Not a-whit of it. (Laughter and applause.) Afraid we are not; but let no man dare to offend us. When they talk of invasion, that army that puts its foot upon England will never take its foot off the English soil." After referring to the unsatisfactory results of our former interference in the affairs of other nations, who never manifested the smallest grati tude for our services, and generally arrogated to themselves the credit of the successes we had gained for them, Mr. ROEBUCK went on to say : " But I am now very much afraid that there is a meddling spirit abroad ; that there are people in power who delight to have the honour of being talked of, and I do therefore fear that their med dling spirit will entangle us in European affairs. I may be called a narrow-minded man. I have been accustomed to a great deal of abuse in my life, and I don't care for it. (Laughter.) But this has been my great object through life—England and England's greatness. For her I have laboured late and early. I have not sought my owz but my country's welfare. To her I have dedicated what intelligence I have had." This manly decla ration might justly be made to his enthusiastic audience by the honourable member for Sheffield, who, by a long course of Parliamentary labour and public serviees, in spite of his occasional acrimony of speech and ebullitions of temper, has earned for himself the title of an upright and consistent patriot. Several months have elapsed since her most gracious MAJESTY, in her speech from the Throne, made stern allusion to the wrong-doings of the Mexican Government. A twelvemonth, indeed, has gone by since the Sovereign of these realms thus so solemnly intimated to her lords and com moners in Parliament assembled the sore need there was then, according to the opinion of her coun cillors, for some interposition at last between Bri tish subjects and British interests on the one part in Mexico, and that disorganised Mexican Govern ment on the other, by which both those British interests and those British subjects had been so long and so flagrantly outraged with im punity. We have yet to learn how far these recommendations from the Crown itself to the Imperial Legislature have been re sponded to by the vigorous action of the Executive. We have yet to learn how far the Mexican authorities have been called to account for acts thus demanding roprobation from the lips -of Queen VICTORIA. The situation, for the most part, has all this while remained unaltered within the Mexican boundaries. Anarchy- still threatens to result from the collision of the rival parties established respectively at the city of Mexico and at the seaport of Vera Cruz, At Mexico, under MIRAMON ! At Vera Cruz, under JUAREZ ! The latter—Ju.utEz—representing what is called the Liberal, but what is, in reality, the American party, or party of ultra-demo crats, under a pseudo-Constitutional Govern ment! The former—MlßAMON—reprbsenting on the other hand the so-called Clerical or Absolutist party, but in truth the one only party expressive of purely Mexican or national sentiments ! How thele parties have been , cunningly pitted against each other by the diplomatic influence brought to bear in that direction by the United States' Go vernment has been clearly explained in the course of a simple narrative of facts by the " Mexican,' who, on Monday last, recounted in a lucid and succinct narrative of facts, the general affairs of Mexico, and the actual situation of the rival Mexican Governments. Already we have our selves commented upon this really masterly communi cation of our correspondent. We took occasion only yesterday to refer in general terms to the nefarious and insidious policy which was shown thus to have been carried out for years and years past in that direction by the half-huckstering, half-buccaneering, wholly shameless and flagitious Government at Washington. A policy hitherto carried out with such signal success in that one direction, that already during the brief interval which has elapsed since 1836 very nearly one moiety of the whole Mexican possessions, the United States, have absorbed into their own dominions—this moiety comprising within it, moreos er, the whole of the auriferous province of California. It will be as well, we cannot but think, now, that our intelligent Mexican Correspondent should be permitted to reiterate, however briefly or fragmen tarily, some few of the more remarkable among his many remarkable arguments, explanatory of the perils now immediately hanging over his fellow countrymen, from the mere development of the policy long being carried out, inimically to Mexi can interests, by the pitiless, insatiable, inexorable United States Government. Our shrewd Mexican puts the matter at the very outset quite plainly. He says :—" It is an egregious error to suppose that the United States arc highly interested in seeing an independent regular Government esta blished in Mexico. They want nothing of the kind." Adding to this at once explicitly, "What they have at heart, and they make no secret of it, is to come into possession of the country (not leaving • the Isthmus of Tehuantepec for the last), just as they want also to render them selves masters of Central America, of the island of Cuba, and of all the shores in the Mexican Gulf." How far, in the develop ment of this scheme, they have already succeeded, we know but teo well—their success being none the less remarkable from the circumstance of their possessing no regular army for its accomplishment. Knowing their policy, conscious of their one clear aim, object, or ambition, the Mexican then asks— " Now, what was the best and most efficient wav to establish anarchy in Mexico ?" Answering his own query thus, without one moment's hesitation —"lt was not difficult to discover that if the Mexi cans were brought to adopt the Republican Amer can institutions—a constitution after the fashion of the United States—the effect of such adoption could not be doubtful. Institutions, indeed, so absolutely at variance with the character, the manners and customs, the traditions and the moral and physical conditions of the Mexican people, could but pro ' duce the deepest disorganisation of the country and the most complete confusion." Hence so much disorder, so many insurgent movements, so much bloodshed, so many revolutions. Hine illw lachryine e ! Hulce the southward swelling of the American boundary line, and the absorption of the whole gold bearing regions of California! Hence the two antagonistic forces here at Vera Cruz, there at Mexico—yonder under JUAREZ—yonder under MIItAMON. " What," then asks the Mexican mournfully, after reviewing all this—" What has been the consequence ?" Note every syllable of his impressive answer— " That the hoPes and wishes of the United States have been realised to their utmost satisfaction. From that year," he goes on to say, " up to the present time, Mexico has offered nothing but a long series of revolutions, of disturbances, of pronuncia »lentos of all sorts and under a thousand pretences. At very rare periods and for a short time these troubles have • appeared to subside, and hopes were entertained of a beginning of peace and progress, but anarchy soon awoke more hideous than ever, corrupting and demoralising every man and increasing more and more its proselytes, to whom it offers many and very great personal ad vantages. Thus it is that the anarchical party, the party created and nourished by the United States, the party on which they reckon to aid and assist their views of absorption of the Mexican territory, the party which declares itself always faithful to American institutions and gives itself out as the Liberal party, but wiiich is nothing but the tool of Ambition, has increased to a formidable extent. Nominally the Constitution ruled from 1824 to 1853, and from 1855 to 1857, when its advocates, attribut ing its former failures to its not being demagogical enough, framed another, which was band to be so utterly impracticable by General COMONFORT, the, very President elected according to its provisions that in December, 1857, he laid it aside, and un ceremoniously shut the doors of the Constitutional Congress. These circumstances gave birth to the go vernment established in Mexico, in Jan.,1858, under Gen. ZULOAGA, and subsequently continued under Gen. MnumoN, with the sanction of one of the most respectable assemblies that has ever met in Mexico. COMONFORT left the country, and JUAREZ, who, as presiding judge of the High Court of Jus tice, had, according to the new framed constitution, to assume provisionally the presidency of the republic in the a•sence of the President, left the capital ; and after wandering unsuccessfully about the country, arrived at Vera Cruz, where he lost no time in starting his constitutional government against the government of Mexico. Nevertheless, the members of the Congress have not joined JUAREZ at that port, nor has JUAREZ convoked them there." The picture thus presented to view is complete: It needs not one touch to bring it out more forcibly and more impressively to general contemplation. It presents to view a spectacle of diplomatic criminality on the part of the United States, which, if cot crying to Heaven for ven geance, demands urgently, strenuously, to our thinking imperatively and irresistibly, the interpo sition at last of other honourable, neutral, and thoroughly independent Governments. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A very pretty dramatic comedy, in three acts, entitled " Home Truths," by the author of " The Bachelor of Arts," was produced here last night, and met with complete and deserved success. The plot is very simple, yet very effective, and ccnsiets in the endeavours of a fond and devoted husband to bring a romantic, and very nearly erring, wife to a true sense of her duty to her husband. The character of Vaughan (the husband) was sustained by Mr. Melville in a manner that clearly showed that, when fitted with a character, is a goody if not first-class, actor. Throughout the play his acting was natural and free from exaggeration, and the applause it received was well merited. Mr. Frank Matthews has a capital part in the piece,. which he enacted with a skill and finish beyond praise. For a long time he has not had a better opportunity of showing his real merits as a genuine comedian. Mrs. Young, as the wife• of Vaughan, was very good, albeit a little too artificial. The scene in which the whole of the action of the piece takes place is a superb drawing-room, and the taste exhi bited ~`,7 Mr. Harris in furnishing the stage as such a room in a gentl,:raan's house should be was artistic in the ex treme. The comedy was' given out fur repetition every evenin4 until further notiie. 'l:l2ere was a very large and fashion able audience present. Lord and Lady Colchester ha 7a left Brighton for their seat, Kidbrooke Park, Sussex. Lord Ward has left Dudley House, Park-lane, for Brighton. • Lady Poltimore was safely delivered of a son and heir on Tuesday last, at the family seat, Poltimore Park, Devonshire. Her ladyship and infant are progressing favourably. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of th© Treasury in Downing-street. The Ministers present were Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Sir G. C. Lewis, Lord John Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, Sir Geo. Grey, the Earl of Elgin, the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson, and the Right Hon. E. Cardwell. _ _ _ Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale have left Orleans house on a visit to her Ma jesty at Windsor Castle. Viscountess Palmerston has issued cards for an assembly on Saturday next. Prince Alfred, during his excursion to Catherine and Mount Olympus, had special attention paid to him by the superior officers of the Turkish Cossack regiments. Sadik Pacha, the commander-in-chief, who happens to be here on a mission at this moment, had issued the necessary orders for receiving the son of her Majesty in a worthy manner. A squadron accompanied the Prince as his escort. COVENT-GARDEN OPERA*—Auber's charming opera, " the Crown Diamonds," was produced last 'night at this theatre, for the !list time during the present season, with great success, SIR HENRY LAWRENCE ON THE INDIAN ARMY. —Six Essays, Military and Political, written in India by the lato Sir Henry Lawrence, have been extracted from the Calcutta Review, in which they originally appeared, and republished in one volume. They are of great historical intereast, as authenticating the services rendered by their illustrious author to the cause of military reform, and as giving increased force and poignance to the lessons taught by our late disasters in India, by showing how clearly Sir Henry had foreseen them, and how deplorable was.the in fatuation that refused to hear his warning voice.— .Speetate ,- . RIFLE INSTRUCTIOti . FOR THE POLICE.—At the General Sessions of the county of Kent, on Tuesday, Mr. A. Beattie, a magistrate for the counties of Kent and Sus sex, gave notice of the following motion :—" That this Court do tako into consideration, at its next meeting, the expediency of having the police of county instructed in the practice of the rifle, and such other drill as would en able theiu to act in a body, under legal authority, in any emergency; and that the chief constable be directed to re port on the possibility of such instruction being afforded without detriment to the service or trenching on the daily duties." ACCIDENT TO A COMEDTA N.—A serious accident happened at the Theatre Royal, Halifax, on Monday night, to Mr. Watson, a favourite comedian, now performing there under engagement with Mr. Belton, the present lessee. Sheridan's " William Tell" was being performed, and the play had proceeded up to that- part of the second act where Tell instructs his son to use the bow, by practising at a tar get. The target was near some steps at one side of the stage, up and down which the other performers had to pass. Mr. Watson stationed himself there, holding vtp a sheepskin to protect them. He had just warned a lady who had passed him to beware of the arrows, when one flew towards him, the point of which entered his left eye. The sight of the eye is hopelessly gone. THE ALLEGED POISONINGS BY MISTAKE AT CA N TERI:URY.—CANTEUTWItY, Tuesday Evening.—This even ing the city ,coroner, Mr. T. T. Delasant, resumed the in quest on the body of James Coppins. The jury assembled at 8 o'clock, and the examination of the medical men who had been 'entrusted with the analysation of the stomach and its contents was proceeded with. Mr. Tassell, surgeon, said he placed the stomach of the deceased, with a portion of the small intestines, in a jar, and handed it to Inspector Spratt. Mr. J. S. Linfurd, chemist, deposed that he received the jar, containing the stomach and a portion of the small intestines of the deceased, from the last witness. On examination wit ness found that the stomach contained about ounces of thick brown fluid, in which he found traces of meconic acid, which is all he saw of a poisonous character. The presence of meconie acid proved the presence of opium, but he was unable to say that there was sufficient opium in the stomach of the deceased to cause death. Mr. Tassell was again examined, and said ha was of opinion that the imme diate cause of the death of the deceased was either from serous appoplexy, or from poisoning by opium, but from which he was unable to state. The coroner then carefully summed up, and after a short deliberation the jury returned a unanimous verdict, that "The deceased died a natural death." LATEST NE WS. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have received the following telegram : " The Company's steam-ship Emeu, with the mails from Australia, reached Aden on the 20th of November, and would continue her voyage to Suez the following morning. " The letters may accordingly be expected in London, via Marseilles, on the 6th inst." The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, DEC. 1. The Moniteur of to-day publishes a decree placing the Prefet de Police under the authority of the Minister of the Interior, who is henceforth charged with the general directory of the public surete, and the offices of the Ministry of the Interior forming this division are placed under his control. The Constitutionnel of this day, in an article signed by one of its editors, " Lelatant," says they have reason to believe that the rumour of the bora barment of Tangiers has been singularly exag gerated. The facts have been erroneously stated. There was no French squadron engaged, but one frigate only--no bombardment, but a vigorous act of retaliation for what was either an insult or a serious misconception of orders on the part of the Moors. PARIS, Nov. 30. The Opinione Nationale has received a first warn ing from the Minister of the Interior, on account of having published an article on the temporal power of the Pope, which, as the warning states, is consi dered an outrage on a foreign Government and to the Church of which the Pope is the head. In explanation of current reports it is stated that the French squadron have neither bombarded Tangiers nor Tetuan. A small fort only on the Morocco coast having fired at a French steamer, the latter replied, and dismantled the fortifications, and afterwards rejoined the squadron at Algesiras. It is stated that the commander of the French fleet had informed the Morocco Government that this in no respect changes the relations between the two countries. MADRID, Nov. 29. It is reported that the forts of Tangiers had fired upon the French squadron, and that the latter had replied by bombarding the place as an act of retaliation. MARSEILLES, Nov. 30. Advices have been received from Constantinople to the 23d inst. During the last six days storms of unparalleled violence have prevailed in the Euxine Sea. All the vessels out at sea have been driven on shore, and about 80 vessels have been lost. The coast is strewed with wrecks as well as hundreds of corpses. The people on the coast have stripped the survivors of their property. Tug steamers have been sent to the Black Sea in order to render assistance in the recovery of property wrecked. The Grand Vizier has given a very good reception to M. de Lesseps. G AR IB A LD I.

(From the Times' City Article.) SOUTII•EASTERN AND EAST KENT COMPANIES. The following relates to the question of amalga• mation between the South-Eastern and East Kent Companies, which it is understood is again to come under discussion to-morrow. On one side there is an endeavour to represent that a satisfactory ar rangement is certain. On the other.it is alleged that strong doubts exist. In this state of affairs the public mutt be cautious not to allow themselves to be hastily led into speculation : " Sir,—l, in common with many others, have read with great satisfaction the announcement which appeared in your paper of Thursday last, that the South-Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover Companies had resolved to consider the expediency of arranging terms of amalgama tion. " It has since transpired that the progress made at the meeting to which yeu referred was even more satisfactory than ,3:ou represented, and that the delegates from the boards. of both companies agreed that it was desirable for the interests of the two companies and of the public that an arranz.ment should be come to. " No one who has watched the result of reckless compe tition during the last few years can dissmt from so reastn able a proposition. If there were any doubt as to the opi nion of the public on the subject, the rise which has taken place in the stock of both companies upon the mere rumour of an amalgaMation would at once dispel it. " Indeed, the probability is that the stock of the South- Eastern Company would be most benefitted by the arrange ment of fair terms with their rivals. " Last year, I believe, their dividend was .5 per cent. next year it v ill probably be 6 per cent., yet their shares are at 20 per cent. liscount. What explanation can be given of so strange a position of affairs but the dread of ruinous competition with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company ? " Ou the other hand, should an arrangement •be carried out, the additional traffic derived from tho new district ac commodated would'amply repay the purchase money of the London,. Chatham, and Dover line, which would not after all much exceed the cost of the proposed Charing-cross ex tension, which, by such an arrangement, would be rendered unnecessary. 44 For these and many other reasons I consider that the directors of both companies will deserve the thanks both of their shareholders and the public if they bring those nego tiations to a successful issue. . ,4 There is one feature in these negotiations whichdeaerves every commendation, and which I trust will be imitated by all joint-stock companies. I allude to the publicity which has been given to the proceedings. The old system of con cealing the results of all negotiations with the view of en abling the directors and their friends to benefit by their success, to the detriment of the public, cannot be too much deprecated. " Looking, however, to the characecr of the noble lord and hoi. gentlemen who preside over the two companies, we are not surprised, though we are much gratified, by their straightforward conduct in this matter.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " A LARGE SHAREHOLDER IN BOTH COMPANIES." CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the office, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, Mr. J. Borradaile in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it referred chiefly to preparations for commencing active operations, and he hoped that at their next meeting in May he would be able to tell them that the works were in a state of forward ness. Active operations had commenced, and he had no doubt that by the time he had mentioned a considerable length of the line would be ready for the permanent way. They had met with some difficulty gettinr , ships to take out the permane n t wa y; , but on the whole they had been tolerably fortunate. The telegraph stores had arrived at Calcutta, aid they would soon place them on the line, which was so far satisfactory. The authorities were now giving them every assistance in their power, and the company had received possession of nearly the whole of the hind. Some delay had occurred in respect of land near Calcutta, owing to the diffe rent tenures by which it was held. The deed of settlement provided for the presentation of the accounts once a year, which explained the reason why they did not present them on that occasion. About £5,000 more had been received on account of shares paid up in furl since the report had been issued. With regard to a call, one would be made in about a month or six weeks. The sums paid in advance of calls had come in so rapidly at times as to prevent a call being made. They proposed to call up £1 17s. per share, which, with the deposit of £l3s., would make £3 per share called up. Ile would be happy to answer any questions they might, deem requisite. _ _ Mr. LONGRIDGE, the engineer, in reply to a question, stated that he believed the capital of £250,000 would be quite sufficient for the con struction of the railway, including stations and roll ing stock. Mr. MAnstimAN, a director, in seconding the adoption of the report, said, their capital was the smallest of any railway in India, being only about a quarter of a million ; that seemed to be the greatest objection to their project when first proposed to the authorities. They fully expected to open the line in March, 1861, and therefore they would have but a small amount of back interest to account for. The directors had kept the construction of the line in their own hands, and fully expected to complete it as a single line, with works for a double line, at £8,500 per mile, including rolling stock. He had no doubt the traffic on the line would be exceed ingly remunerative. The railway would pass for 20 miles of its length through a population mo re d ense than in any part of England. It was expected that vessels, by means of their undertaking at the Mutlah, would discharge in five days ; whereas, in the Hooghly they would require two or three weeks to deliver them. The large ships bound for Calcutta would find the advantage of discharging their cargoes at the company's terminu s on th e M u tl a h, and sending them over their railway to Calcutta. The native boats from the interior of Bengal would also, he thought, discharge their cargoes for Cal cutta at the Mutlah, and thus send 1,500,000 t ons to Calcutta over their line in the course of t_l-de year, thus saving about two-thirds of the. t.tme now re quired from a given point. The r/epth of water in miP:rus was from seven to the Mutlah near their ter nine fathoms, and there '7ias sufficient space in that part of the river to allow of the Great Eastern steamship swinging round. The river was perfectly clear of shoals from that point to the sea. There were about 500,000 tons of firewood broug ht to e,Cal cutta in the course of the year, which would, no doubt, pass over their line, because they could convey it at 2s. per ton, while the native boats charged 4s. per ton. They could also bring fish to Calcutta quicker and better than by the boats, and deliver it early in the morning. The line would be a paying one, but their dividends were limited to 10 per cent. per annum. Mr. HAYMAN contended that they could not convey goods over the line at three-farthings per mile. He did not think the rates they intended to charge would ever' pay them. They must charge higher rates than they had mentioned. Mr. LONGRIDGE believed their rates would be ample. Mr. DOLLMAN, the solieitor to the company, ex plained that when the dividends or profits ex ceeded 10 per cent. the authorities had the power to reduce their tolls, so as to keep the dividends down to 10 per cent. The report was then adopted, and a vote of -thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. AN AMERICAN BRIDAL TROUSSEAU.
