SSPP „ , 71 c" • t' E A 1, ; • " 9 - • TII E SUN. LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1862. Mr. GLADSTONE on America will be looked at with no little interest on both sides of the water— luckfly, just at the moment there is no transatlantic electric cable ; if there were, the message it would have transmitted to Washington would have sadly interfered with the thanksgivings of Mr. LINCOLN and his friends. We may suppose what would have been the perturbation of the Chaplain to Congress, if just before he left the vestry to preach his thanksgiving sermon, he had received a tele graphic message—" Mr. GLADSTONE, in a great speech at Manchester, has represented the restora tion of the Union as almost impossible." That unaccountable second cause assigned by Mr. LIN COLN for thanksgiving—the non-intervention of foreign Powers—would hitve seemed to lose half its weight. _ . While such speaking was confined to the aristo cracy of the Cabinet—to Lords PALMERSTON and RUSSELL especially—it might be supposed in Ame rica that the belief in ultimate separation of North and South was chiefly confined to the English aris tocracy—the men who naturally sympathised with Southern slaveholders, or as they call themselves Southern chivalry. Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech, de livered at Manchester, too, will dissipate that illu sion. It will be seen that the commercial talent of the Cabinet—what on this subject we may call the JOHN BRIGHT section of it—does not believe in the final re-union of the now separated States. The speaker was not one of those, as he distinctly stated, who envied the growth and greatness of America, but not the less, he now thinks, that its territorial greatness cannot remain what it has been. He 'flakes every allowance for the difficulty of impar tialitY, on the part of Americans during their pre sent excitement, in judging of the conduct of this country, but he, nevertheless, thinks their judg ment of England has been unfair. They in fir st as k e d f ar an d expecte d our sym pathy n their fearful straggle. This, however, says the statesman, meant nothing less than that we should so conduct ourselves towards the North, that a people , numberi ng from s i x to e i ght mil lions, who had at least v, fair chance of becoming an would eve r a ft er c h er i s h bi t t er independent na tion, animosity towards u s . no insi sts, as so many o f us have done alre ad y , on th e North refusing t o Make the struggle one for freedom, in which case it would have been imp ossib!e for Englishm en t o withhold their sympathy ; and he hints that the countenance given to Southern institutions b y the North, pieced the North and the South, in re gard to slavery, very much, in Eagiish judgment, on the same ground. He reminds them how ready the North would have been to give the South the strongest guaranters for slavery, if it would but reunite with it again under one Government, and renflinns the unpalateab!ermark of Lord lltissELL, that the quart el wan really one foe " supremacy' on one Ride, and independence on the other." The question, as our Chancellor of the Exchequer truly observed, is this—" Is the heart of the South net on. separation ; if not, it may be conquered— but if it he, and if the blood of Washington, and of the men of Virginia of his day, still runs in the veins of those wt.o inhabit the Southern States, then it is almost impossible that the military object should be effected, and even if it were, the civil and political difficulties remaining would render that military success a curse and a difficulty to those who achieved it." This is but indeed the comm ,n sense view, which in various forms has been expressed in England again and again, The military conquest of a vast and really hostile country, with so many millions of inhabitants scattered over it, is next to an impossibility—and if conquered, it could be re• tained in subjection only by a standing army and a military government which would render free in stitutions a nullity. The truth is, when once the slaveholders had persuaded the entire South to join them in seces sion, the North had but the alternative of a war for emancipation, or separation. They had not one statesman among them who clearly saw and urged this fact, so obvious to impartial observers elsewhere. The North ' desired slavery to remain in the South, for its sons reaped handsome profits from it ; it wished, there fore, to recover the Southern States as slave States. This was simply impossible. The slaves knew the mean policy of the North ; thought they were as well off if the North were beaten as if it won, and went on working, and enabling their masters to leave their homes, and to take and keep the field. They thus became the strength instead of the weak ness of the South. Had the declaration of war, in April last year, been accompanied by a declaration of emancipation for all slaves, with compensation for loyal masters, in all probability the present April would have seen the Republic restored, war ended, millions of dollars saved, and the United States, a Republic based on the principle of their own Declaration of Independence, instead of resting on their odious constitution—the only one in Christen dom—which recognises the right of property in man. There are, indeed, symptoms in the PRESIDENT'S resolution, and the bill for emancipating the dis trict of Columbia, of the North opening its eyes a little—but unless it opens them quickly and widely, it will not save itself from a war of years, to end, quite possibly, in an irrevocable separation. In less than a week from the present time the Great International Exhibition will have been opened. We know now by what ceremonial. The order of the arrangements has at length been duly announced. Elsewhere in our columns of this even ing may be found the official programme. Not by the QUEEN herself will the last Intelleetural Gift of her departed husband to the Nation be inaugurated. 7 hat at any rate we knew long since. It was felt instinctively by all alike that the remembrance would be altogether too poignant to admit of the widowed Sovereign in person presiding over the opening day's pageantry. The very splendour of that gorgeous ceremony would—it was instantly felt on all hands—be in no way in unison with the grief still weighing heavily at the heart of Vic- TORIA : that the very harmonies of the inaugural hymns of prayer and praise would jar discordantly upon the senses of the royal mourner. Even it has been deemed too painfully suggestive in its way of 1 the greatness of the national bereavement, this inauguration of the PRINCE CONSORT'S posthumous masterpiece, his Royal Highness's second Inter national Exhibition, the one not of 1851 but of 1862, not in Hyde-park but at South Kensington—to ad mit of her MAJESTY being represented on the occasion by the personage nearest to the throne of these realms, its next occupant, the future King of Eng land. So that matters have been gracefully and tenderly so arranged, that while the Great Exhibi tion is being opened solemnly by Royal Commission on the afternoon of Thursday next, the first of May, her MAJESTY will be far away in the north of her island realm, and the Prince of WALES yet further removed from the scene, his Royal Highness being still in the midst of his Oriental wanderings. Darkened though the occasion will be, however, by the inevitable thought of the loss of which it must at every turn so vividly remind every individual spectator— saddened though the ceremonial necessarily must be by the recollection of its re splendent predecessor of eleven years ago, when side by side under the glittering arch of glass stood the QUEEN Regnant and her Princely Hus band, now no more—still the afternoon of this next Thursday, the Ist of May, down at South Kensing ton, will not to any appreciable extent be shorn of its magnificence. The Royal Commissioners by whom the Great Exhibition, in the absence of the SOVEREIGN, will be opened, we now know, will be his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Lord High Chancellor, the Earl of DERBY, K.G., the Lord Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of Eng land, and the Speaker of the House of Commons— the whole of those distinguished personages being presided over, or marshalled, by his Royal High ness the Commander-in-Chief. The mere proces sion, as it streams before our imagination while glancing down the printed programme of the regu lations, gives promise of the stately character of the mere mechanism of the inauguration. And the diversity of that procession serves to illustrate in no unbefitting manner the wonderful and bewildering diversity of the Exhibition itself. Trumpeters of the Life Guards in their state uniforms, leading forth the contractors, the decorators, and the archi tect—these soon afterwards followed by the one great intellectual songster of the age—the Poet Laureate ! Around these, as the procession advances through the building,— "All of beauty, all of use, That one fair planet can produce, Brought from under every star, Blown from over every main, And mixt, as life is )nixt with pain, The works of peace with works of war." How world-wide the gathering together of treasures, whether of art or of nature, brought to that one amazing point of centralization or accumulation—the mere catalogue of the coun tries contributing to the display serves the most readily and the most vividly to illustrate ! Com missioners—among other foreign lands—coming to us from Austria, Baden, Bavaria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Denmark, France, Greece, Hanover, Hayti, Italy,Peru, Portugal,Prussia, Rome,Russia,Saxony, Spain, Sweden and Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, the United States (!) and Wurtemburg. These, all of them observe, besides others unnamed, being exclusively foreigners. Prior to these appearing in the long and majestic procession, the following array of acting Commissioners, is still from the ends of the earth it is true, but all of them from our colonies and dependencies, Australia (West), Aus tralia (Soutl,), Bahamas, Bermuda, British Columbia, British Guiana, Canada, Cape Colony, Ceylon, Grenada, Hong Kong, J,,maica, India, lonian Wands, Malta, Mauritius, Natal, New Brunswick, Newiousdiand, Nt'w South Wales, New Z_'aland. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward's Island, Queensland, St. Helena, St. Vincent, Tasmania, Trinidad, Van couver's 'lsland, and Victoria. Jr is as well, surely, that our beloved QUEEN should take no part in this inaugural pageantry, if only that her heart might not be torn with anguish, w hile the vaulted root, the aisles, and naves of the gigantic building vibrate the choral chant of Pro fessor BENNETT S music to the noble words of ALFRED TENNYSON-7 6, 0, silent father of our Kings to be, Mourn'd in this golden hour of jubilee, For this, for all, we weep our thanks to thee 1" We talk still of our intended monument to 111 E SIITN, -LONDON, FRIDAY '''',EVENING, 7APRIL 4 1 1 " . 25, 1862. .~ i:, ti " ALBERT the Good ;" yet there, down at South Kensington—not in the building itself unhappily, but in its contents—we have for the time being at least a memorial of him ! If but the structure were worthier of the treasures of arts, and sciences, and nature accumulated together within it ! It might then be perpetuated as a store of machinery and design, constituting the PRINCE CONSORT'S most appropriate memorial. Unhappily, thanks to the hideous result of Captain FOWKES'S ingenuity, that, of course, is not for one instant to be thought of. The sooner we make a clearance of that abominable dis play of ingenious audazity iu the way of piling together a mass of architectural solecisms the better. Hard by, however, further north upon the green award in Hyde.park, where once stood for a while the Fairy Halls of glass, containing the glories of the First Great Exhibition —there we cannot possibly do better in the way of honouring the memory of our lamented PRINCE than by so combining sculpture with architecture in an appropriate memorial, that London may, as we suggested the other day, thenceforth rival Edinburgh in the possession of a work of art worthy of comparison with the SCOTT Monument. We hope the clergy will attend to Mr. GLAD - STONE'S speech at Manchester, for it may do them more good than half a dozen Episcopal charges; and we hope, too, they will visit him with signal and appropriate retribution, for that would be an unspeak able boon to us poor miserable sermon-hearers. What in the world our clerical, and perhaps our lay hearers may ask, has Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech at a distribution of educational prizes to do with sermons ? We will tell them. But, the unfortunate preliminary is, the confession, that of all the penances poor laymen are called to endure, that of hearing a sermon, if we do not happen to be drowsy, is about the worst. We mean no disrespect to the clergy ; but we may appeal to our neighbours pretty gene rally whether this weekly social infliction is not one from which we always most thankfully escape. We do not call it a religious infliction, because it is no more a part of either natural or revealed religion than fasting on Good Friday. That which makes the sermon a bore, is the very opposite of religion. It is its conformity to an artificial standard of Anglican propriety—about as remote from that furnished by the sermons we read in the New Testament—those of the Great Master or of his Apostles— the sermon on the Mount, or the sermons of PAUL and PETER—as a modern bishop or deacon is from any resemblance to primitive apostles and the primitive men in holy orders. When, then, we had read the first column of Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech, the first thing which struck us was—why, surely we have been reading a sermon ; the next, why, no, a sermon, it cannot be, for we read it with deep interest—again we glanced back and were compelled to see that it was a sermon and nothing else ; and, of course, the last thought, which we dare but whisper to our reader's ear, was, —Heaven send us such sermons every Sunday morn ing, and we shall not be often wanting in our bodily and wakeful presence. We then, naturally, asked ourselves a few ques tions abut the cause of the difference between a Chancellor of the Exchequer's sermon and that of a dean, .or a doctor of divinity, or of the regular parish priests. We set aside the genius of Mr. GLADSTONE—of which some exquisite touches ap peared in this introductory part of his address. All clergymen, cannot, more than all gentlemen in other professions, be geniuses. But we thought we saw in Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech—indeed, it is generally to be seen in his speeches—some quali ties which would change the style of nine-tenths of the sermons in the kingdom, and make them always bearable, often attractive. Mr. GLADSTONE always speaks from conviction, and almost always because he really has something to say, and he lets his manner show it. Now nothing can make up for these qualities. Why do we listen so coolly to the polished, well poised sentences of Sir BULIV ER LYTTON, or to the elaborated sarcasms and ingenui ties of Mr. DISRAELI—in their public speeches we mean ? Because it is impossible to believe that there is anything like conviction beneath them. We admire the feat, indeed ; and.we could attend to such feats, on pulpit topics in the pulpit ; but all clergymen could no more rival this, than they could the performances of BLONDIN. But Mr. GLAD STONE'S ingenuities, and touching sentiments, and eloquent illustrations, are as much the product of his heart, as of his intellect—we may say of him what the highest authority would have said of a good man—that out of the abundance -of his heart his mouth speaketh. Altogether reversing this, our Sunday preachers have contracted with few exceptions—a manner dignified enough it is true—and an utterance I ro tund, so far as vocal organs permit, monotonous, or cadential, starched as their cravats and bands, and authoritative, as if they swore to renounce the POPE'S authority, only to become Popes themselves. Such a manner might be endured, if high genius atoned for it, just as we tolerate for this reason the intolerable manner of the two Tory orators above mentioned ; but it is death to all attention when the speaker has no such claims on us. Nearly all the really popular preachers we hear of, have a 1 manner just the reverse. Their theological benti meats may be as diverse us possible; their educa tion and the polish of their style different ; they may be popular, so to speak, with the thinking few, or in the more proper use of the word, with the plebeian many ;—but they all feel that they have something to say—something of which, be they right or wrong, they, at least, are thoroughly con vincedand as the corollary, they cannot use the humdrum style clerical. Four more different speakers, and with very diverse creeds also, there can hardly be than the half-heretical Churchman MAURICE, the popular Baptist SPURGEON, the almost equally popular, in his own country, Pres byterian, Dr. GUTHRIE, and he who has so often foretold the date of the world's doom, Dr. CUMMING. Their creeds are no concern of ours, but the common quality which all of them possess as attractive preachers, is a great concern of all of us. If we are to hear a sermon once a week, or to be classed by the Bishop of Ox FORD amongst the godless, then in the name of mercy to our ears, let it be one resembling the speeches of mortals on other occasions. We do not ask for one with all whose notions we shall agree, any more than ask for that in political speeches. We do not ask for no slip—no deviation from per fect literary or oratorical taste, any more than we do in other public addresses ; we only ask that we shall have something said because the speeker wants to say something, and with the unchecked manner of one who so feels. As to reading sermons, who ever thinks of such a thing ? We recollect reading a set of sermons when we were lads—hori eseimus referentes —they were by WILLIAM COBBETT. Now we do not want the clergy to become politicians—that might spoil our trade, and according to the old adage respecting two of a trade—editors and clergymen might then be likely to disagree. But we are not likely to forget the substance of Mr. COBBETT'S sermons, though we have never read them since, and clergymen must confess that it would be something gained in their vocation, if they could produce such lifelong im pressions. Now WM. CoBBETT's sermons, which, for this reason, we commend to the attention of our clergy, possess those essential qualifications for securing attention to which we have just ad verted, in an eminent degree. He has something to say, and he is determined that you shall understand what it is. Totally different in style and subject as were Mr. GLADSTONE'S touching remarks on Lan cashire distress, on the sorrows of our Widowed QUEEN in relation to it, and on the loss of PRINCE ALBERT in regard to education, we have no doubt that many will remember this admirable lay sermon, as long as he would a sermon of WILLIAM COBBETT. All now we ask of Sunday pulpit per formers, is that they become Sunday speakers, and that thus they retaliate on Mr. GLADSTONE for in vading their province, by entering also on his. Let them forget they are "priests"—and remember that they are men ; and we and they shall be all the better for the change. LATEST NEWS. PARIS, APRIL 25. The Constitutionnel of to-day published an article signed by its secretary, M. Boniface, asserting that the consolidation of the public debt of France will shortly be effected by the presentation of a bill to the Chambers, proposing that from October next there should be but one kind of public security bearing 3 per cent. interest, and providing the means for effecting the conversion of the remaining Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Rentes. The Court of Cassation has decided that a mar riage contracted with a convict in ignorance of his real character cannot be annulled. CADIZ, APRIL 24. The French steamer Asmodee has arrived here with news from Vera Cruz to the Ist inst. No important change has taken place in the posi tion of affairs. FRANCE. PARIS, APRIL 24. The Patrie announced a few days ago that the French artillery had invented a new projectile, capable of piercing plated ships, txnd of producing effects hitherto unknown ; and it added— " The principle of this invention will remain a secret ; but we are assured that the fact of its existence is now placed" beyond all doubt." M. Mathieu (de la Drome) once a representative of the people, lost no time in claiming the invention as his own. He states that he communicated the fact to the Minister of Marine on the Bth, and again on the 11th of the prooont month, together with all the necessary details ; and, so far back as the 26th of December, that he submitted, under cover to the Academy of Sciences, the drawings and descriptions as mentioned in the Patrie. M. Mathieu's claim is well founded. In February last the English Admiralty were informed of his invention, but did not know the nature of the means he employed. The " boulet mine" (for so this new infernal ma chine is called) is described as capable of destroying six-inch iron-plated ships, at a distance of more than 3,000 yards. If it really possesses this wonderful power, Great Britain, Gibraltar, Malta, &c., will be less accessible than ever, and the superiority of iron ships will not have been of long duration. A letter from Cherbourg of the 20th inst. says that the Minister of Marine has resolved to submit the iron cased frigates lately launched to a decisive trial to test their seaworthiness. The Couronne, which has arrived from Lorient at Cherbourg, is selected for the experiment. She is to be sent across the Atlantic. A question which has given rise to a serious controversy among seamen as to the possi bility of a completely iron-cased vessel accomplishing the voyage will thus be solved. The association established in Lorraine, under the direction of Marshal Canrobert, for the improve ment of the breed of horses, and of which the Prince de Beauvau is a warm supporter, has announced that a racecourse is to he established at Nancy, and that the first meeting will take place in September next. The Moniteur publishes the following note : " In conformity with the law of February 12, 1862, the holders of 41 and 4 per Cent. Stock and of Trentenary Bonds, residing in Europe and Algeria, had a delay of two months granted them, for mak ing known their adhesion to the optional conversion. That delay expired on the 15th inst. It results from the declarations made that the amount of the titles converted is as follows :-41 per Cents., 131,821,331 fr. of rente deposited by 412,292 hol ders ; 4 per Cents., 1,632,614 of rente deposited by 1,929 holders ; of Trentenary Bonds, 604,329. The titles nonconverted amount in 41 per Cents., to 40,241,185 fr. of rente; 4 per Cents., 456,236 fr.; and Trentenary Bonds, 70,725. The above result can be modified, but very slightly, by the declara tions of conversion of persons residing in the French colonies, and to whom the law of the 12th of Feb. accorded a delay of one year to make known their decision."

The Diario Espanol of Madrid, of the 20th, states that in consequence of the Government being anxious that the Chamber shall discuss the bill re• lative to promotions in the army, already voted by the Senate, as well as the treaty with France and other urgent measures, the session will be neces sarily prolonged until after the beginning of June. Accounts had been received at Madrid that the Marquis de la Rivera, the new Spanish Minister at the Court of Lisbon, had the honour of an audience of the King of Portugal on the 9th, and delivered his credentials to his Majesty.

The recent discussions on Poland in both Houses of the British Parliament, condensed and translated into the Polish language, are clandestinely circu lated here, and almost absorb every other subject of conversation. Gratefully acknowledging the inte rest and the sympathy expressed for their misfor tunes and present sufferings, the Poles do not admit the impossibility of some sort of interference in their behalf by the Powers who signed the Treaty of Vienna, in 1815, and thereby guaranteed the political rights of the Polish nation. Even at the risk of an uncourteous reply from St, Petersburg, a remonstrance should be made by England against the actual state of things in Poland. They will not agree with Earl Russell that a constant, though unsuccessful, interrneddling with the internal affairs of a Power regardless of its obligations, such as Russia, is derogatory to the dignity of the British Government. Duty, say the Poles, however un pleasant, should be performed; and this duty, in the absence of liberty on the continent, devolves entirely upon England. Another point which formed part of the speech of Lord Palmerston, is not much relished by the Poles, viz., his lordship's opinion that the national manifestations were not required to convince the world of the unquenchable and unconquerable spirit of patriotism in the Polish nation, and that they only drew upon them the revenge of the Russian authorities. For a long time, they maintain, Europe had pronounced the Polish nation quite Russianised, and resigned to its fate ; calumnies of the blackest di e were l aun ched by th e G erman press against their submission to the Russian yoke, though, perhaps, the statesmen were differentl3 informed. It required them to give a new proof to the world of the vitality of the Polish life, and blood was shed, fresh victims were and are being made, all to show that though Poland may be di vided and oppressed she has not lost one iota of her attachment to her former rights and glory, for which she will ever be ready to take up arms. On the whole, the debate, and particularly Mr. Denman's lucid statement and enumeration of the tyrannical acts of the Russian Government, has cheered many a Polish heart, for it exhibited the so much praised benevolence and good feelings of the Czar iu their true light. Such periodical discussions in the British Parlia ment are the only moral check on the conduct of the Emperor, who is much annoyed to be thus dragged before the tribunal of public opinion in Europe. Hardly any event of importance has occurred, except, as I already wrote, the arrest of 20 young students on the Bth inst., in the church, and their quick expedition to the confines of the empire, to increase the numbers of the Russian army. Now in what country in Europe could such an act of despotism be tolerated, and is the Emperor aware of what passes in Warsaw ? But a short time ago, a series of new administrative measures, among which that of the introduction of a new penal code was announced ; and, certainly, nothing could be more just or desirable. At this moment we are not go verned by any laws, and the caprice, and more fre• quently the savage revenge of the Russian generals, is the only rule on which hangs the life of the inha bitants. The friends of the Marquis Wielopolski give it out that he is in great favour with the Emperor, who promised to carry out all his plans relating to the peasant and the educational question. Much as the Marquis is unpopular, no one, however, would be so blind to public interests as to stand in the way of his useful reforms. By all means let them be converted into the law of the country, and put on their trial. The Poles, though aspiring to their former indepondenoo, are not unwilling to nano any concessions that may be made to them—they are, surely, ripe enough for them—but let them be bona fide reforms, such as would tend to general benefit, and not the continued repetition of these on paper only, as it is the case now, and has always been with the Russians. The mourning, and all other marks of sorrow, are still worn by the ladies and the people generally, in spite of the orders to the contrary; and the police seem not to take any notice of them since they would have to arrest everybody. . A sectional demonstration took place at Cracow last week, which led to a collision between the stu dents of the university and the police, who were worsted on the occasion. In Lithuania the same spirit of passive resistance continues, which even the refined cruelty of M. Nbzimow, the Governor-General, cannot subdue. He has been summoned to St. Petersburg to be con sulted on the possibility of raising the siege of that province, but he energetically opposed himself to such a fenieney, and represented the great danger to which the Empire is exposed by the attitude of the Polish nation.

International Exhibition, April 24. THE PRINCE OF WALES IN THE HOLY LAND.---• The following is an extract from a private letter :—" The Prince was at H e b ron wh i le we were there. He and h i s suite obtained permission to visit the Cave of Macpelah, Abraham's burial place. They are the first Christians who have been allowed to enter it since the Crusades, nearly 700 years ago. Dr. Stanley says everything is kept in the most beautiful order, and nothing could b 3 more satisfac • tory than the state in which the tombs are preserved. Abr sham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Sarah, Rebecca, andi,,eah are buried there. Two of the sheiks were inclined to give annoyance azid show their animosity at Christians being allowed to enter the cave. The Governor of Hebron, however, had them turned out, or rather he escorted them out himself, and the remainder were very complimentary to the Prince, saying that they were glad to have the op portunity of showing any civility in their power to one of the Princes of England, to whom their Government was so much indebted for kind offices, that they looked on it as a great compliment to themselves that the heir to the Throne of England bad visited one of their holy places, &a. So that altogether it was very satisfactory. The Prince had a regular little army accompanying him, and the P as h a o f Jerusalem was present in person tit Hebron to receive and escort him. The Prince visited Hebron last Monday, the 7tb April.") THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT BlLSTON.—Yester day afternoon the inquest upon the bodies of the 27 persons who were killed by the boiler explosion o n th e 15th inst., at the Millfields Ironworks, Bilston, was re-urned at the King's Arms Hotel, Bilston, before Mr, V. H. PbillipFy coroner for the Wolverhampton Division of Staffordshire , and, after the examination of several witnesses, was further adjourned. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The performance of the "Trophete" at Covent-garden last night was one of the most splendid we have ever seen at this theatre. In the case of a piece which has had a long run and has become familiar to the public, managers are apt to relax in the care and attention, and to become saving in the cost, bestowed upon its first production. Such is not the case in the instance of the " Prophete." The scenery is as fresh, the decorations a , rich and magnificent, and all the details of spectacle and stage effect are as complete as if the opera were performed for the first time. The repre sentation is also admirable. Tamberlik is not quite equal to Mario, whose impersonation of John of Leyden was proba bly the grandest of all his efforts; but Tamberlik approaches him mire nearly than any cther performer now on the stage is able to do. As to the beautiful and difficult part of Fides, we say unhesitatingly that it never had such a repre nentati - ve as Csillag. Even its original representative, tho gifted Viardot, failed to throw into the character the quiet and simple pathos which is so remarkable in the acting of Csillag. With all her genius, Viardot always had a ten dency to exaggeration, from which the Hungarian prima donna is entirely free, and Csillag sings the music much more beautifully than any other Fides we have ever heard, with the single exception of Alboni, whose vocal execution always was perfection. The character of Bertha was on the whole well sustained by Madame Rudersdorff. The music of the part is brilliant, and she sang it brilliantly ; and with a little more quietness and smoothness of manner her performance would be entirely satisfactory. The cther characters were cast nearly in the same manner as in for mer seasons. THE MONITOR AND THE MERRIMAC, The following misgivings as to the result of a second encounter between these two vessels are from the Washing ton correspondent of the New York Times :—" The Moni tor's arrival in Hampton Roads some weeks ago seemed a direct intervention of Providence. She stopped the Merri mac in her career of destruction, and was, consequently, hailed as a national deliverer. The slow Departments of the Government fell down and worshipped her, for her prowess, luckily, saved them from an ignominious niche in history. Immediately they all went Monitor-mad, and set themselves about building several other Monitors ; and no idea will be entertained of naval defence unless there is a revolving turret and two guns in the case. The Monitor fought the Merrimac well. It is the first instance in the world's history of a battle between iron-clad ships, and yet the Navy Department thinks all experience exhausted in that one combat, and improvement impossible in naval warfare. Permit me to suggest that this may be a fatal mistake, and that the nation is at this moment in extremest peril. The Monitor is not the equal of the Merrimac, and nothing but what infidels would call ' good luck,' and what Chris. tians would call God's favour,' will save the Union from the annihilating blows of the Merrimac. "Why is not the Monitor equal to the Merrimac ? Because she has not her speed nor power; she has not an equal armament, and she is liable to be hopelessly disabled by a single accident, then which nothing is more likely to happen when she goes into battle. Suppose the Merrimac to come out to morrow; as she may do, and that she engages the Moni tor, and that in the beginning of the battle the Moni tor bursts a gun, Do you not perceive that our navy is annihilated in Hampton Roads, in the Chesapeake, and wherever else the Merrimac may be able to go ? The Monitor has only two guns, and in a turret. Her men work the guns in that turret, and an explosion in that iron drum necessarily kills every man there, and if it does not likewise split the turret, the shattered pieces of the enor mous gun will so encumber the narrow enclosure that the working of the only remaining gun will be impossible. Upon this thread, then, hangs the fate of the mast gigantic campaign of modern times—the safety of each of the Monitor's guns from a frequent accident of warfare. Upon our Western gunboats already two rifled cannons have been burst, killing an aggregate of 20 men. Let one like acci dent happen to the Monitor, and all our hopes of imme diate success in this war will in the deep bosom of the ocean be buried. And then, the god we now worship, the turreted Monitor, will be the treacherous devil that lure I us to de struction. While all men who are capable of reason admit that an explosion of a gun in a turreted boat like the Monitor will be fatal, and take it out of action, there is no desire evinced by any one, in Cabinet or Congress, to favour any plan of an iron- clad boat that shall be free from so alarming a defect. The Stevens' battery, which is to carry seven guns, which can shield each one independently as perfectly as the Monitor shields her guns—which fights all her men under a plated deck, and apart from the guns—which can suffer the explosion of six guns out of seven, if such extraordi nary ill luck should occur, and still fight the last gun without impediment, and without having suffered injury to a man—this great vessel is in no favour with the Navy Department, because she is not turreted like the Monitor ! She ought to have a man-trap, wherein the explosion of a single gun will kill all her gunners, and disable every other piece of ordnance she may carry. Nevertheless, well know ing the infatuation of the Department in favour of Moni tors, and the consequent antipathy to anything different (or better), the United States' Senate has refused to allow Stevens' battery to be completed except in accord ance with the opinion' of Secretary 'Welles—the very man of the Government, above all others, that the Senate have helped to breed distrust of. If the House has no more breadth of wisdom—no astuter perception of palpable truths in regard to turetted boats like the Monitor, then may the country despair of help in case the Monitor shall burst a gun in her Next engagement with the Merri mac, or the Merrimac, by a lucky shell, burst one for her. In the meantime we only live in hope that no such casualty may befall the Monitor; for in the perfect exemption not only of one but of both her guns from defect does the fate of this nation absolutely depend. There is no assurance of safety to our fleet in Hampton Roads, and hence, while all men hope they do also fear. When we have beet all, then, perhaps, the Navy Department will learn." DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FROM THE ISLE OF WlGHT.—Monday next is understood to be fixed on for the departure of the Royal Family from Osborne. THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ALICE.- Powlesse House, East Cowes Park, for some years occupied by her late Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, has been taken for some of the Royal visitors to Osborne in June next. Lieutenant-Colonel Cuddy has returned to town from visiting his brother-in-law, John Claudius Beresford, Esq., cousin to the most Hon. the Marquis of Waterford. MURDER IN LIVERFOOL.—WiIiiam Finnigan, a tailor, of Liverpool, killed his wife on Monday evening, by brutally kicking her on the head and neck. She was a drunkard, and at the time of her death she was under the influence of liquor. The coroner's jury on Wednesday re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Finnigan, and a warrant has been issued for his apprehension. The attack upon hie wife (the deceased) was most deliberate, and had he not killed her by his kicks, he intended, as he said, to " rip her up" with a pair of scissors. On one occasion he inflicted a wound upon his own arm, and endeavoured, by giving a wrong statement to the police, to get some per son apprehended for assaulting him. It has become a very common practice for the Chinese at the Australian gold diggings to export their dead relatives to China. The Bendigo Advertiser of Feb. 7, mentions a case of a Chinaman coming from China to the Bendigo diggings, and applying to the authorities there to permit him to take home the body of his father, who had been buried there three years before. SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTHDAY.—WiIIiam Shake speare's birthday was commemorated with the customary festive demonstrations in his native town on Tuesday, the day being observed by the inhabitants of Stratford-on- Avon as a partial holiday. Flags were displayed cn the principal buildings, bands of music perambulated the streets, and places of business were closed during the afternoon, The Shakespearian Club met in the morning, and received a report from the birthplace committee. CURIOUS EXCHANGE.—Secretary Seward has sent to his Holirmss Pius IX. the entire edition of the " History of the Stale of New York," consisting of 13 quarto volumes,handsomely illustrated with coloured plates, and richly bound in Turkey morocco and gold ; also a copy of the diplomatic corresponderce for 1861, bound in like manner. This was in return to the compliment recently paid by his Holiness to the Secretary, by the presentation of the superb edition of " El Vatecano," a colossal work of 12:volumes, containin g illustrations of all'paintings and statuary belonging to the Papal Government in Rome. The remains of a mammoth elephant (Elephas primigenius) was found a few days since near Domblans, by some workmen employed in the construction of the railway between Besangon and Bourg. They consist of a tusk, about 4ft. 7in. long, llt inches circumference near the base, some bones, and part of a molar tooth. Those remains, which were buried at a depth of about 9 feet in alluvial ferruginous sand, have been placed in the Museum of Lons-le-Soulnier, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Allow me to call the attention of your readers to the fact, that the Act of 1844 operates as a gigantic swindle on the interests of both em ployers and workpeople, unintentionally no doubt, but nevertheless it is a fact. The Act alters periodically the value of the measure by which the labour of the operatives and the goods of the merchant are measured, producing the same effect as if false weights and measures were used at times for the benefit of the monied class to the prejudice of all other classes. In illustration of tht fact, imagine a pair of scales for the purpose of weighing value, put a piece of cloth, or any other product of labour, worth in ordinary times of trade and credit a pound sterling, into one scale, and into the other a pound either in the shape of a sovereign or Bank note, and the scales will balance each other. Now, let a monetary panic occur, such as took place in 1847 and 1857, arising from gold being taken from the Bank of England, and the money of the country reduced to the same extent by the destruction of Bank notes as compelled by the Act of 1844, and mark the consequences. The price of all stocks of goods in traders' hands will fall from 30 to 70 per cent., as was the case in those panics. For the sake of clearness we will assume the fall to be 50 per cent., or one-half the value. The owner of the pound sterling in that case gets double the quantity of cloth for his money, whilst the merchant or manufacturer gets only 10s, instead of 20s. for his article. The manufacturers then, in self-defence, must either reduce the wages of their workpeople, or run short time, or close their mills, and turn them adrift. In this way does the law, by altering at times the measure of value, ruin hundreds of masters, and reduces thousands of the working class to beggary and starvation. The conflict created by the Act of 1844 is not between labour and capital—men and their masters —but between masters and men on the one side, and money and dealers in money on the other. To remedy the evils of this unjust law let masters and men unite in petitioning Parliament for the establishment of a National Bank of Issue, to which shall be transferred the sole power of issuing Bank notes, now enjoyed by a limited number of bankers for their own benefit, by which means the value of money, the measure of value, will be kept steadier, and a sum of upwards of £30,000,000 obtained for alleviating the burdens of the people. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, • HAMER STANSFELD. Highfield, Windermere, 24th April, 1862. REPRESENTATION OF LAIJIBETH. Yesterday evening a meeting of the electors of Lambeth, called by Mr. W. C. Sleigh, the barrister, was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. Mr. Sleigh having been introduced to the meeting, and very warmly received, said he believed he was the only avowed candidate before the electors, although Mr. Doulton had received a requisition to come for ward. As the borough would be at the disposal of the electors at 5 o'clock next Monday evening, he thought it right to come forward thus early to so licit their support. Adverting to the political topics of the day he contended there ought to be an exten sion of the suffrage. Hitherto - the test had been pro perty, but that he thought was not a fair, universal test. He would rather that intellect and talent were entitled to a vote totally irrespective of property. He thought no plan of reform would be complete without the ballot. Church-rates he held to be a dis grace to the country. The gross hardships arising out of the unequal pressure of the income-tax he would seek to remedy, and would also endeavour to bring about an equalisation of poor rates through out the metropolis. He was opposed to useless wars. He pledged himself that, whatever might be the circumstances, he would never retire from the con test until 4 o'clock on the day of the poll. At the same time he would pay nothing beyond the legal expenses, relying on the voluntary and unremune rated services of the electors. Mr. Houston moved and Mr. Doble seconded a resolution affirming Mr. Sleigh's fitness to represent the borough, and pledg ing the meeting to support him. Tnis was met b y an amendment, proposed by Mr. Knight, to the effect that, while the meeting fully agreed with Mr Sleigh's views, it was inexpedient to commit itself to any declaration, inasmuch as a requisition is to be presented to Mr. Doulton next Monday evening. Mr. Goddard seconded the amendment, and a ter rific uproar ensued. When the chairman had an op port unity he put the amendment to the meeting. It was lost, and the resolution in favour of Mr. Sleigh I was carried by an overwhelming majority.
