To-MORROW. -Morning, 12h. 14m. THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, :INTARCII 12, 1862. The King of PRUSSIA has shown more obstinate incapacity for hia position than was ever expected from him. His knowledge of Constitutional per in reference t o it were Government, and his temper always rated very low, but it seems not low enough. His Chamber of Deputies differed from him. They wished for a budget not to be voted as a whole, but specifying the principal items—and for this their punishment is dissolution! If the English practice has a shadow of reason in it—if M. FOULD, the man summoned by EMPEROR to set his Budget Tight, has any reason in him, what the Chamber Asked for is a most reasonable and constitutional thing. The Deputies were probably influenced by the example of France. They saw that a man of unquestionable financial ability had convinced the EMPEROR of the substantial excellence of the principle of making the Government respon sible for giving correct estimates, and for limiting its expenditure by the conditions under which they had asked the money. On this point they were .therefore firm ; and on this point, as the Chamber is dissolved, we suppose the next step must be to try whether the country will back its Deputies in their firmness. The whole proceeding is due to the KING him self. His Minister?, on the adverse vote of the Chamber, tendered their resignations ; but the KING declined to ac and to accept it. lie required them to remain act; but one act was compatible with re maining in °face when they had been out-voted on a grave mini s t erial l question by a majority of 1 7 1 a gainst 143 . They therefore,al with one exception, ,BETHmAN RGILw x G' the Minister of Public worsh i p , agreed to advise a dissolution—the course preferred by the King. The Crown Prince, it eee rns, young as he was wiser than his father, and proposed a prorogation for s i x weeks,s, under pretext of reforming the Budget, and Li with the hope o f something tu rnin g up. But the old m ilit y e - treined King wa d obstinate —the Chamb er, in t ji e Slew of a Soldier, had been mutinous —civil l aw allowed no severer punishment than disbandment, co the refrectory regiment is broken up. It remaing :0 be scen, hoiVi:Vtr, whether the Prus sian / lectors cr).rnpreLeed the, difference between a military regime and a civil Chamber between an institution, half 111; 1 value and cfficieeey of which depends on implicit obed:;ence, and one of which the chief advantage is free discussion and free action on all topics. It was the feed on the part of the Ministry of receiving back from the country a More liberal Chamber than ,the present one, Whim at first made them resign rather than advise a lution. For aught that appears, this reason is as cogent as ever, and the Budget being yet not voted the KING will be compelled to appeal to his sub jects at once, and while they may be supposed to be irritated with the unfair treatment of their deputies. The reactionary party will no doubt exert themselves, backed by Court influence, to the utmost ; but there is not, that we are aware, any reason to think that the country will fail to sustain its deputies, and it will probably increase the majority against Royal wilfulness. It is much to be regretted that Prussia should, just now, want a Sovereign up to the standard of his age. A King of Prussia might now be the vir tual Emperor of Germany. Had he only the sense of a VICTOR EMMANUEL—had he sense to perceive that German unity was an aspiration more ardent than ever, but that the only path to it was through Constitutional Government honestly accepted—he might be the rallying point of all the Liberalism of Germany. Instead of this the foolish old military ma r tin et cannot get dreams of Feudal Royalty and Right Divine out of his mind. His babblings on that topic at his coronation, and afterwards to his clergy too, and his uttered complaints immediately after the elections against the Liberal majority which had been returned, must be fresh in the memory of Electors, and show him to be utterly incapable of understanding the first duties of a constitutional Monarch. He seems to have no more idea of a power'; which may check and modify his own in a popular Parliament than the colonel of a regiment has in his subordinate officers. While this is his temper, and we fear he is too old to learn, he can do little but injury to the post he encumbers. His people, we may hope, will firmly resist him, and the kingdom fall peacefully in due time into the hands of the husband of our PRINCESS ROYAL ; but it is to be regretted that till that time he will be but a clog on the advance of the nation. In the inaugural address of President DAVIS, now before us in full, one thing is still remarkable—we fail to detect anything whatever beyond constructive grounds of secession. There is nothing assigned, at the very moment of inaugurating a permanent Government, which an English House of Commons, with its practical sense, could accept for a moment as a ground. for such a step as Secession, defended by armed rebellion. The true grounds appear but indirectly—false grounds are made prominent. There could be no need for this—for we are told that thirteen States were represented in the Con- -- - gress Mr. DAVIS addressed, that eleven had voted in an electoral college, and that their entire Totes, 109, had fallen on JEFFERSON DAVIS for President, and A. H. STEPHENS for Vice-President. His address was meant, no doubt, for perusal throughout America and Europe, yet we may sup pose that to such an assembly of entire and united friends and coadjutors, the truth, as it is seen in the South, would come out. "Yet he begins his grievances with complaining of " a long course of class legislation, directed not to the general welfare, but to the aggrandisement of the Northern section of the Union." Now, nothing can be more certain than that in all that class legislation—we suppose the tariffs are referred to—the South concurred, and that not a single tariff hostile to Southern interests could have been carried through the Senate, as well as the House of Representatives, without the assent of the South. It may indeed have been that the Southern politicians did this as part of a tacit bargain for Northern support of slavery, but if this were so, it did not suit JEFF. DAVIES' purposes to say it. It were almost amusing, had not the consequences been so bloody, to see the shadowy grounds alleged for secession—" the dogmas," not the acts, of a sectional party are specified—it is at most said that these dogmas " threatened to estroy the sove reign rights of the States." Not one single mis deed of the North, or of the new Government can be laid hold of to proclaim to the world as the reason for setting up this permanent Govern ment. There was no taxation without representa tion, no attacks by arms, no invasion of a Southern right in any form—there was, indeed, nothing bat the one fact, that the Presidential Chair was no longer a piece of Southern patronage, and that the "spoils of office" were consequently lost. As to power in Congress, it was, in March last, balanced about as nearly as in our own House of Com mons. Had the South been content to have used political means merely, they were, like their counterpart in England just now, far too strong to permit of the North taking any unfair advantage. They perceived a " revolution in silent but rapid progress to place them under the despotism of num hers,"—but they surely might have waited till they had proof of the fact that numbers would at all more tyrannical then they them selves had become. They had no right to assume that a majority would act unjustly, and to plunge into rebellion and a war on such a gratui tous assumption. The truth is, and it is useless for the South to con• ceal it, this is a secession for political power and for slavery. The leading men in it were the poli ticians who, in the days of BUCHANAN and his predecessors, had pulled the wires of Go vernment, and who were mortified to nd teir po wer gone. ahe Rebellion was a planned thi h ng. FLOYD, who as General has distinguished himself by leading his men in flight, was their chief agent in BUCHANAN'S Cabinet—the arc L-conspirator who armed the South and disarmed the North, against the day of Mr. LINCOLN'S election. The South has rebelled, to maintain in its own territory, that mastery which it once asserted over the whole Union. Its politicians could not be second men. They would be first in the Union, or first in the Confederation. And this fact, with slavery and its demoralising consequences, account for the whole of this, to English views of the case, unjustified re bellion. We do not mean to deny that Northerns and Sontherns are too diverse in character to work in harmony, but Mr. DAVIS speaks only of political reasons, and he has certainly not mentioned one which will bear a moment's scrutiny. Never has a Minister fallen with more dignity than Baron RICASOLI. That at least must be said of him. Whatever views may be entertained in this country as to his policy, it is certain at least that he has so withdrawn from power at Turin that his personal honour is preserved. His con sistency at any rate is not compromised. Tout est perdu—fars l'honneur. He tenders his own resig nation, and with that the resignation of his col leagues collectively, to his Sovereign the new King of ITALY—King no longer of Piedmont alone, hut of " Italy"—and why dces he withdraw from the leadership of the Italian Government P Simply because he will not consent to hold office in that apparently supreme and manifestly responsible capacity upon sufferance as the nominee, or by permission, of his Irnpuir.l :11,jesty the French 11 : 111 13Gror, NAPOLEON 111. There no blinking the tact we arc he re a ll u ding to. The scene presented to view the other day in the great Represen!ative Chamber of the Italian Parliament served to illus trate it as a fact altogether incontrovertible and in a manner the most remarkable that could very well have been. There and then it was rendered mani fest that had RICASOLI consented so to modify pis policy with regard to Italian unity that it _ mE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NIA.RCH 12, 1862. would have harmonised better with the policy of the French EMPEROR, he (the Baron IticAsoLT) might still have remained in office as the powerful chief of that growing and strengthening nationality. His rival and successor, M. RATAZZI, instead of occupying, as he does now, that lofty and difficult post of the Premiership, might still have been hun gering and thirsting for authority as First Minister of VICTOR EMMANUEL, might still to that end, with that one aim and object in view, have con tinued to blurt out piecemeal his "private and con- fidential" c orrespondence with the famous dead and gone organiser of the newly-created kingdom of Italy—the Count CAVOUR. Circumstances have ruled it, as we know, otherwise. And this, in the first instance, because the late Prime Minister o Italy, the Baron RICASOLI, would not condescend to revise his policy at the dictation of the Emperor NAPOLEON 111. Rather than yield to that extent to the enigmatical arbitrer of the destinies of the Roman peninsula, RICASOLI resigned. Rather than continue to hold nominally only the rank ho had been holding hitherto, in very deed and truth, the late Premier of Italy gave in, as we know, his own resignation and that of his colleagues in the Government. His successor, M. RATAzzi, has assumed the reinswhich have thus been voluntarily yielded up with so much calmness and dignity by the Baron RICASOLI. A different future is opening up to the new nationality and to the Parliament at Turin. The ex-Premier has there explained his resignation. His successful rival has unfolded the programme of his new-born Administration. And the sitting which has but just now witnessed this double eclaircissement has certainly, in many of its incidents, not been without its significance. Those who witnessed the spectacle lay stress especially upon the timidity, the hesitation, the confusion both of tone and manner marking the Ministerial explanations of the newly installed Administrator, President of the Council, and Minister for Foreign Affairs—in other words, Prime Minister of Italy—the third Premier since the establishment of the new Sovereignty—C./M.IM being, as history will henceforth record it, the First, yea, facile princeps—RicAsom the Second— RATAZZI the Third. Death cut short the career of the great and astute statesman to whose genius, quite as much as to the sword of NAPOLEON 111., the Italians owe their political emancipation, A dictate no less inexorable with some, the lofty and austere dictate of Honour, has peremptorily closed for CAVOUR'S successor, the Baron RICASOLI, that same career of Minis terial chief and supreme administrator of the newly-organised nationality. Fallen Ricasou has, but voluntarily and with dignity—his honour untarnished, his ccnsistency maintained, his name and fame respected even by his antagonists. The noble and haughty oration with which he bade adieu to power the other day in the Italian Parlio.- liament—while addressing that great legislative and representative assemblage in language of the severest reproof and reprehension—how was that farewell harangue greeted by its hearers? Why, in a manner that no less nobly became them as admirers of political integrity—with thunders of acclamation ! The Baron RICASOLI retires to his olive-gardens and his vineyards covered with the respect and sympathy of friends and foes alike— another pure and lofty, though an unsuccessful and even defeated, CINCINNATUS. ARRIVAL OF 71/ ViCTO.RIA 2BANSPORT. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY MORNING The screw steamship Victoria, Captain Ander son, arrived this morning.

The surveying ves sel Swallow, from the eastward, arrived in the Sound this morning. The Hamburg mail steamer Teutonia, which lefi New York on the 22d ult., is now several days overdue. -.- The steam frigate Eldorado left Toulon two days back for Alexandria, having on board numerous military passengers, an immense quantity of war stores for Cochin- China, and a complete siege battery. The Jourdain, just arrived at Marseilles from Algiers, had 150 Arabs on board, all going on a pilgrimage to Mecca. RESPITE OF HALL, THE OXFORD MURDERER.- Yesterday afternoon a communication was forwarded to the governor of Oxford gaol that the Home Secretary had, after a review of the circumstances of the case of Hall, convicted at the last assizes of the murder of a gamekeeper, advised that the clemency of the crown should be extended, and Hall accordingly stands respited during her Majesty's plea sure. --- - RESPITE OF TIM NEWCASTLE MURDERER.—Sir G. they has had under his consideration the circumstances connected with the case of George Clark, who was con victed at the last Newcastle assizes of the murder of Mr. Mark Frater, the tax collector, and has thought fit to ad vise that the unhappy man be respited during her Majesty's pleasure. An official intimation of Sir George- Grey's de cision was forwarded to the governor of Newcastle Gaol on Monday night. FALL OF A HOUSE IN HOLBORN.—Shortly before eight o'clock last evening great excitement was oc casioned in the immediate neighbourhood of Little Turn stile, Holborn, by what at first appeared the fall of several houses, bearing with therm their inmates. When the dust had somewhat subsided it was found that the premises 291, IlighHolborn, bad fallen in. It was known that Mr. Prew, a tailor and clothier, the proprietor of the premises, em ployed about 20 persons upon the establishment, and in quiries were at once set on foot, when it was ascertained that every person had escaped without injury. It appears that a peculiar cracking noise was heard at an early hour in the morning, of which no notice was taken, and during the day nothing more than usual occurred, but shortly be fore the time above-mentioned a cracking noise was heard by some of the men, who at once cautioned their fellow workpeople, but had scarcely done so when the whole of the four floors fell with a fearful crash. The front wall of the house was left standing. M. BLONDIN AT LIVERPOOL. —NARROW ESCAPE. —"The Hero of Niagara" gave a display of his remarkable feats at the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, last evening. " The excitement of the whole display," says the Mercttry, " cul minated in the last item of the programme — the artiste car , a man on his back along the rope ; and this ex citement was still further increased by the occurrence of an accident which was well nigh being attended with very serious consequences. To a dead certainty,' as the saying gocth, M. Blondin will proceed with his unrivalle exhi bition of skill and daring' until he breaks his neck, and perhaps that of some ono else, and that unfortunate climax was nearly being arrived at last night. The high rope was stretched from the middle of the gallery to the back of the stage. In front of the gallery is an iron railing, and upon this the rope rested. N. Blondin had carried his assistant on his back in slings from the stage to the gallery, and was about to return, when the moment they had passed the railing in question it gave way, caus ing the rope suddenly to fall about two feet, and j erkin g the two men from it. They fell backwards, and might have been injured by the fall, but fortunately they alighted in the arms of the people yclept the gods,' and thus escaped any harm. Had the voyagers been but a yard or so further along the rope over the pit they must inevitably have been dashed to the floor. Blondin displayed admi rable presence of mind. As though nothing at all had happened he picked himself and his burden up, and not ivithstaiTaing the slackening of the rope by the accident, conveyed him in safety to the opposite extremity amidst the cheers of the audience," LATEST NEWS. PARIS, MARCH 11, EVENING. In the Corps Legislatif to-day Baron David op posed the views of M. Favre. M. Keller denied that there was any ground for the complaints accumulated against the Papal Go vernment. He maintained that the unity of Italy was a Mazzinian idea, alike hostile to the Church and to France. M. Keller asked for a distinct explanation whe ther a vote of confidence was required, with the object of prolonging the occupation of Rome, or to support an arrangement the rejection of which would bring about the withdrawal of the French troops. He considered it impossible to vote the Address this year. PARIS, MARCH 11, EVENING. 1 The debate upon the Address to the Emperor was continued to-day in the Corps Legislatif. M. Favre brought forward his amendment to Paragraph 4, relating to the affairs of Italy. He considered the policy of the Government uncertain and dubious. The language held. by the Govern ment and its policy leave so many interests in sus pense that the representatives of the country could not but entreat the Government to relinquish a position which furnished a pretext for accusations of duplicity, for at Rome it was in presence of two irreconcileable principles. 2,1. Favre opposed the occupation of Rome. . . The Patrie of this evening states that the mis sion of General Scott to Mexico has been under taken to conclude a convention with Juarez allow• ing an immediate indemnification of the Powers It considers that this would prove a real protec. torate. The PayB pretends to have received information hat the Allies have advanced without opposition to the vicinity of Mexico. GENOA, MARCH 10. The Provvedimento Committee, in its sitting of to-day, elected Garibaldi as its President-in-Chief. A letter from Mazzini having been read, Gari baldi was authorized to demand his recall from the Government. The Committee has adopt ed the principle of universal suffrage, and will address a petition to that effect to the Italian Parliament. ROME, MARCH Last night, after the solemn reception of the French Ambassador by the Pope, a grand demon stration took place. All the Cardinals, the entire personnel of the Papal Court, the members of the diplomatic body, the Roman nobility bringing flowers, with some citizens and numerous strangers, assembled. A great crowd collected today before the resi dence of the Marquis de Lavalette, which was de corated with rare magnificence. CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The Sultan, with the above mails, left Malta for Marseilles on the 10th inst., at 5 p.m. The Pera, with the heavy portion of the mails, sailed at seven the same evening. She may be expected at Southampton about the 19th inst. relation between the peasants and the landowners arrived at. The latter.have shown the most gene rous and friendly disposition to benefit their less fortunate countrymen, and thus the bonds of mutual attachment, as the children of the same cruelly oppressed country, have been strengthened and rivetted. For in spite of the diabolical machinations of the Russian agents and particu larly the wish to sow dissensions between the peasantry and the land proprietors, a feeling of mutual confidence has never been disturbed. It is impossible now to enter into all the details of this new law, and we must wait until it has been sanc tioned by the Emperor and promulgated. What ever has been effected in this respect must be entirely ascribed to the efforts of the Agricultural Society, which has done so much for the well-being of the peasants and prosperity of the country— efforts which, as you know, were stopped by the Marquis Wielopolski on his accession to power, but the fruits of which he himself used afterwards for another plan with very few modifications, which is now the subject of the deliberations of the Council of State. On the other hand, the Minister of Justice, M. Dembowski, is preparing a new bill for the better administration of the criminal law, and has sum moned to his aid men specially informed on the subject, whom he is most anxious to consult. It is even rumoured that there is some idea of in. troducing a trial by jury. A trial by jury under the Russian Government sounds like a mockery, and I should not he surprised to see all these grand reforms announced by the official journals here, merely to dazzle the eyes of France and England, vanish away like all other solemn promises ema• nating from the Russian monarchs. Still the people submit to their fate, in which they are encouraged by their new archbishop, who seems to gain a great power over almost all the minds of the population except the students. Simple and affable, with the thorough meekness of a Christian, he has accomplished by his preaching and example what the Russians could not effect by wholesale murder and transportation to Siberia. The national hymns are not to be heard any longer in the churches, and every one relies on the word of their worthy prelate. A true Pole by birth, and a patriot at heart, he declined to fill up the vacan cies of the priests despatched to Siberia, when asked by Government to do so, stating that the Emperor had promised them a free pardon, and that they should return to their former posts. This is an unexpected blow levelled at the Government by a man of their own choice, and it only shows that a good Pole will never change, whatever may be the place of his avocations, as St. Petersburg was that of the present archbishop. We have received some copies of the letters ad dressed to Earl Russell by Mr. George Mitchell, lately published in London. They are perused here with avidity, though, like the clandestine journals in this city, they pass from hand to hand secretly ; and Mr. - Mitchell, after the barbarous treatment which he received from the Russian soldiers during his stay inWarsaw in October last, has been classed, and most justly so, not only among the friends of, but among the great sufferers for, the cause of Poland. The publication of these letters is a living and fresh testimony of the way in which the Poles are governed by Russia. The great impression which the meetings in favour of Poland recently held in England pro duced in France has extended here, as many French papers circulate in this country, and the interest as well as the sympathy of the English people awakened by such demonstrations are really a balm of consolation poured into the hearts of the op pressed Poles. Let us hope that the numerous petitions which are being presented to Parliament from all parts of England in behalf of Polish rights and nationality will have the effect of inducing the British Government to urge upon Russia the ful fillment of her duties towards Poland as guaranteed by the treaties, in the formation of which Great Britain has taken a most conspicuous part. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The Royal Mail stemship Asia, Captain Lott, has arrived with advices from New York to the 26th The project of a treaty with Mexico, submitted to the Senate, contained a provision for the appoint ment of a commissioner to arrange certain details; and it was to fill this commission that General Scott's name was submitted with the treaty. The Senate had not yet taken favourable action. The anniversary of Washington's birthday was kept at New York with more than the usual demon strations. At the Cooper Institute a large meeting was held, which was addressed by JudgePierrepont, M. M. Evarts, H. J. Raymond, Ex-Governor Hunt, and Joseph Hoxie. Letters of sympathy from Mr. Seward, D. S. Dickinson, Governor Morgan, Go vernor Sprague, Governor Olden, and Alfred Ely were read. The Republicans bad a Union festival at Irving hall, and addresses were delivered by E. C. Cowdin, Dr. Hitchcock, Dr. Bellows, W. M. Evarts, Hon. Henry J. Raymond, Horace Greeley, Geotge Folsom, E. Delafield Smith, and Dr. Sowder. Letters expressive of sympathy were read from leading statesmen. One of the speakers, Mr Evarts, said,— " With all his readings of the Constitution, he had never been satisfied that there was any line of it enforcing the protection or maintenance of slavery anywhere. True, there was the Fugitive Slave clause, and the obligation to suppress insur rection ; but the latter referred to white as well as black insurrections. The only occasion where that clause had been put in operation was in the case of discontented white men. The great difficulty was where to take hold of slavery. His judgment was that the political power of slavery shou ld be ( over thrown, in order to undermine its social standing. It was our duty to deprive it of its power in the general Government, and then leave it to local dis integration. Just as sure as slavery in the general Government had operated on the side of slavery in the States, so would the influence of freedom in the general Government operate for the interests of freedom in the States. Look at the States upon which slavery smiled, and upon the Free States. The love, and not the hate of slavery, was to be feared. (Applause.) We were fighting for the Constitution, and we were justified in doing that with such means and such weapons as were brought against us, with whatever shattering force it should operate•against slavery. (Applause.) Let the war fall upon the guilty cause of the rebellion—the slaveholding aristocracy of the South—upon the stimulant of their unholy passions—slavery. (Ap plause.) When the war was over, whatever of slavery was left, leave it, and where no loyal State Government would be found, the general Govern ment would take hold, and slavery would then be dealt with. (Applause.) The slaves of the South were to the Constitution but a portion of the people. The Constitution kr_ew in the South but two kinds of people—thofle who were loyal and those who were rebels. (Applause.) Compared to a loyal slave, the lives of a hundred rebel masters were but dust in the balance. (Applause.) The Union de pended upon the integrity, ability, and virtue of the people. We had to marshal our forces. We had been guilty of neglect of our sacred trust, and had no right to make posterity pay the bill. (Applause.) We must insist that, with the same honest labour as our forefathers gave, we should work in the cause. It was a crime to extort money out of the necessi ties of the Government. (Applause.) We must have the Mississippi—not for alligators alone— but for at least one flat boatman. (Applause.) Mr. Raymond, another speaker, referring to South Carolina, said t— " It may take a generation to extinguish the spi rit of rebellion in South Carolina, but it will, sooner or later, be extinguished. Ido not consent, for one, to the giving up of even South Carolina under any circumstances. We don't, for our purposes, but Want her in the Union we want her for her own. I don't want her to be divided up, She must remain in the Union as 13. State, and we mus t make her people so loyal that th e y w ill curse t h e m emory of their ancestors who attempted to take the State out of the Union.

A letter from Turin of the 9th, in the Debats, says " The declarations of Baron Ricasoli no longer admit of the Ministry being attacked in its origin. Its acts must be waited for. M. Ratazzi's pro gramme has been approved of by every one; the only criticism that I have heard on it is that it is somewhat vague upon certain points, but that it is the fault of all programmes, which require to be commented on by acts. It thus becomes probable that the Ministry will for some time go on with out too many obstacles, and that the dissolution of the Chambers will not be necessary. M. Lanza is, however, very active in his opposition. He has convoked for this evening the former majority, at the meetings of which he presided formerly. It is especially against M. Cordova that the outcry is raised. The journal, the Diritto, which attacks M. Cordova most severely, is in the hands of the members of the pro-dictators, with which M. Cor dova has been in direct opposition. That Minister wished yesterday to resign, but the council refused to permit him, thinking rightly that it was better not to give way to party clamours. M. Sella spoke yesterday in the Senate for the first time, and with success. He has come to an understand ing with that body relative to the law on the Court of Accounts." The clerical journal, // Companile. of Turin, announces that Monsignor Franzoni, the ex-Arch bishop of Turin, is better. POLAND* FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WARSAW, MARCH, 1862. The order of the Governor-General slightly mitigatin g the rigorous measures of the state of siege which continues ever since the 15th October last, is considered by some as a prelude to another and it is hoped a humane mode of ruling. It is quite time that the long talked-of promises of the Emperor, recently renewed through the mouth of the Archbishop Felinski, should, though partly, be carried out, and the sufferings of this brave spirited and most patient people be at last p ut an end to. Whenever the spirit of the Poles rises, and they become turbulent, restless, and even threaten ing, the R uss i ans d o no t p a y much attent ion to such an aspect of affairs; but when they see the Poles calm and resigned, awaiting with a stoical determination their hour of revenge, as it has been and is now the case, then the enemies of Poland become frightened, and commence to reflect seri ously. Hen ce th e ne ver-ending peasant q uestion was, it app ears , di scusse d a few days a go by the Council of State, and a definitive solution of the ting. After we have given her people the chastise ment they deserve, and have hung a dozen of the leader: who betrayed them—(applause)—we shall have given them a lesson which their children will not forget in all time to come. But, whether it takes one year, ten years, or twenty years, South Carolina must be redeemed. If we could put her into the sea ; if we could sink her at the mouth of Charleston harbour, and thus establish an effectual blockade there—(laughter)—l should be glad. But we cannot ; South Carolina is at least a geographi cal expression ;' we cannot get her off the map, I don't want to see her cut up and divided among the other States; I want her to be preserved, at least, as a relict of the great rebellion—as a curious and unique fossil, handed down to our children from another age. But we must reform and r& generate as we raise our flag over rebellious soil, and I be lieve it can be done, even with that most pestilent of rebel States—South Carolina. EMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THIS DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair after twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Mid-Sussex and Midhurst Junction Railway Bil] was read a second time. PETITIONS. Mr. BALL presented a petition from Cambridge in fa vour of the Marriages of Affinity Bill. Mr. J. EWART presented 37 petitions from Liverpool to the same effect. . Mr.MONCKTON MILNES also presented several to the same effect. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented two petitions from places in York against the revised code. Mr. JAMES CLAY presented petitions from Hull to the same effect, as did also Mr. JoTIN LOCKE from the trustees and managers of St. George's National Schools, Southwark. , MARRIAGES OF AFFINITY BILL. On the order-of the day being read for gcing into com mittee on this bill, Mr. HUNT moved as an amendment, that the house go into committee on this bill that day six months. :He con sidered that as the second reading of the bill was only carried by a majority of 11, and as there were a great many Scotch and Irish members who had not at the time made their appearance in the house, he was fully justified in again asking the house to discuss the merits of the mea sure. If th measure was to become law the result would be that a great social revolution would be Effected in the end, and consequences of which no one could predict, for if they once opened the door to marriage with a deceased wife's sister, what was to hinder them to go further and allow a man to marry his wife's niece or his wife's mother. It would in fact be a throwing back the stream of civilisation, and introducing, so far as marriage was con cerned, something of that system which was in existence— " 11 hen wild in woods the naked savage ran." It was said that it was a poor man's question, but if it was so, why was there such exertions made to get up petitions in its favour, and so much money paid for the signatures attached to them. Hit was a poor man's question the poor man would come forward voluntarily in support of it, and would not require all the drilling, and hunting up, and money payments to cause him to support it which had been had recourse to. The amendment having been seconded, there were loud cries for a division, in the midst of which Mr. BALL rose and supported the measure. He took his authority for doing so from the Word of God, and from the manner in which such marriages were viewed by the Jews, to whom the Divine law respecting them was pro mulgated. There could be no doubt that the Jews of old tolerated such marriages, and that being so, he saw no reason why they should restrict them by legislative enact ment. In regard to the question being one in which the poorer classes were interested, he could only say that were they to take the opinion of those classes on the point, they would find them almost unanimous as to the propriety of permitting such marriages. In matters where there was no political agitation, the poor never interested them selves much, and especially in cases of this nature, where they knew 1 hey were utterly powerless, they did not come forward ; but, as he had said, there could be no doubt that they were all in favour of the measure. Mr. MONSELL said he quite agreed with the doctrine that it was wrong to keep a law on the statute book which was adverse to the feelings of the great body of the people ; and, consequently, the people of Ireland and Scotland being unanimous in their opposition to this measure, he protested against the measure being thrust upon them, There was one question to which the hon. member who had charge of the measure was bound to answer; and that was, where were they to stop in this downward stream of legislation, which had been inaugurated by the establishment of the Divorce Court. He be lieved that there was nothing the Scripture strictly prohibiting such marriages, but the prohibition of them was in consequence of the establishment of Christian society. It was so in the tine of Theodosian, and was so at the time of the estaUishment of Christianity in France, and in this country it had been so from the time that St. Augustine raised the sacred banners of Christianity in Kent down to the present time. In all those cases such marriages, though held as permitted by scripture, were considered incompatible with a state of social Christian society, just the same as slavery, though not prohibited in scripture, was repugnant to the feelings of every Christian mind. He should, therefore, oppose the measure, and, if unsuccessful in his opposition to the present stage of it, he should afterwards movp, that Ireland be exempted from its. operation. (Hear, hear ) Sir W. J OLLIF FE said while he was doubtful whether it would be wise to extend the measure to Ireland and Scot land, he was certain that the present state of the law was most unsatisfactory, and that something was absolutely ne cessary to be done to place it on a better footing. He must say that he could never discover the evil consequences which it was said would result from such marriages. He considered, on the contrary, that the prohibition of such marriages was the cause of the greatest evils, and he should sordially support the measure. Mr. CT REGSON, alter referring to the immense num ber of petitions presented in favour of the measure as com pared with those against it, the former amounting to over a million, and the latter not exceeding one hundred and forty thousand, gave his cordial assent to the measure. The House then divided, when there appeared— For going into committee, Against it, . . Majority against going into committee, —32 The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheers from the opponents of the measure, and the bir is lost. MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be corn mitted on this day three months. CONSOLIDATED FUND (£18,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be corn mitted. SMALL HOUSES EXEMPTION (SCOTLAND) BILL Sir J. OGILVY obtained leave to bring in a bill to pro vide for the exemption of houses of small annual valus from the payment of poor's assessment. The bill was afterwards brought in and read a first time. WHIPPING (No. 2) BILL. Mr. HADFIELD obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law as to the whipping of juvenile and other offenders. CLERGY RELIEF BILL. The house having resolved itself into committee, Mr. BOUVERIE moved for leave to bring in a bill for the relief of persons in holy orders of the United Church of England and Ireland declaring thbir dissent therefrom. The hon. member explained that a similar measure had been introduced some years ago, arising out of the case of the Rev. Mr. Shore and the Bishop of Exeter, which had been referred to a select committee, but had never passed. The case arose out of one of the canons of the Church of England, which prohibited any clergy men dissenting from the Church and leaving her ministry, and procuring employment as a layman. The object of the measure was to remedy the state of matters which the enforcement of that canon gave rset o. It would not apply to persons dissentingfrom the Church and leaving her com munion, but to those who lett the ministry of the Church and still remained in her communion. After some conversation, joined in by Sir W. HEATH COTE and Mr.IIuBBARD, leave was given to bring in the bill, which was laid on the table and read a first time. The house then adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock. ST. THOMAS'S.HOSPITAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Permit me to draw your attention to the following important article, published in the Lancet of this day's date ; and as the medical world con sider almost official the statements that appear in that journal, I hope you will aid the suffering poor with your powerful advocacy, in accordance with the views expressed in our most important medical paper. The Lancet states ;—" It is rumoured—but we cannot credit the rumour—that the authorities , of Thomas's Hospital are about to decide in favour of Potts' vinegar ground as the site of the new hospital. Of all the sites that have been talked of, this is about the most unsuitable. Gasworks overshadow it, and buildings enclose it on every side, Every provision there exists for surrounding the patients in an atmosphere redolent with multi farious stenches and soot, and resounding with the din of artisans and traffic. The space, moreover, is absurdly insufficient. The question is one of such high public importance, that there ought to be held a Borough meeting to discuss it without delay." Now, as every word above quoted is undoubtedly true, surely such a situation can never be coun tenanced by the authoritative powers in whom the selection of a site is invested. I speak not of other sites, but only raise my humble veto against such an abomi nat i on as Potts ' vinegar yard being . for a single instant deemed an eligible spot for so important an institution as St. Thomas's Hospital. u m, sir, your most obedient servant, London, March 8, 1862. IYIEDICUS. The Lombardo of Milan states that Gen. Gari baldi will, immediately after the Democratic meeting at Genoa, visit all the towns of Italy to institute national rifle matches Where they are still wanting. TILE LASH..On Saturday morning week Private Jones, of the Ist battalion 23d Royal Welsh FusilierS, re ceived 50 lashes in the barrack-square, Walmer, pursuant to a sentence by a court martial, for striking the provcst sergeant. When he received the first four lashes he made a slight groan, but he received the remainder without any further emotion. After the fast stroke he exultingly sang out Domini, which was understood by the soldiers to mean "bravo," The flogging will be followed by six months' imprisonment.—Kentish Gazette. ?HE NAVY.

Dacres, commanding the garrison at Woolwich, yesterday made an official inspection, accompanied by the garrison staff, of the barrack quarters of the 13th and 14th brigades of Royal Artillery, recently returned from India. The general inspected the men's kits, and expressed hie gratification at their orderly arrangement. Yesterday a complete battery of eight of the nevr 110-pounder Armstrong guns was landed at the Ordnance wharf, Chatham, from the War Depart ment transport Marlborough, for distribution to the vessels at that port. There is a large supply of the 100 and 110-pounder Armstrongs at Chatham, but a deficiency of 70 and 40-pounders, none of the class of 70 pounders having yet been received into store. Among the number of Armstrong guns subjected to proof yesterday at the Royal Arsenal butt,Woo l- wich, three 100-pounder naval guns, to be denomi nated henceforth 110-pounders, were considerably' damaged, and were returned to the forge. The de fects were similar in each gun, viz., a separation of the coils forming the breech part, which yi'elded so as to disable the guns from further use to. their pre sent state. The pressure upon the departments of the Royal. Arsenal at Woolwich has now subsided, and ar rangements are being made for the reduction of the establishment by the discharge of a large n umber of mechanics and labourers, probably to the number of 3,000 men.

CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning market were much restricted. Dry samples mo.,ed off steadily, at fully Monday's quotations, but damr;, qualic e attracted very little alteration, yet no change took place '- their value. With foreign wheat we were fairly 'supplied, and tile demand for all descriptions ruled inactive, on for ger terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at late quotations. Malting barley sold steadily, at quite previous rates, in other kinds very little was doing. Malt was a dull inquiry, at late 0 rates. For oats, notwithstandin g that the supply on offer f at very moderate, the demand was in a sluggish state , barely stationaly prices.
