A numerous meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, on the affairs of India and America, in their relation to English commerce, is entitled to a moment's attention at least. The gentlemen present may express right views or wrong, but they at least know one thing better than any of a s can do—the state of their own trade, and the direct effect upon it of Indian and American wars or tariffs, or both. If they have not much new to urge upon the Government and the public, it is worth observing whether after the experience of another year they persist in pressing the same demands as before. In regard to India they do so. The great grie vance there is the protective duty of 10 per cent. laid first by one of the arch-freetraders, WILSON himself, on English manufactured cottons. As factories had been built in India itself, this was indeed a heavy bounty on native manufactures. If the carriage to and from England were reckoned at 15 per cent., here was a bounty of 25 per cent. in favour of Bombay manufactures. The danger was, that capital might be directed by such a high protection into unnatural channels, and that then vested interests might be pleaded for the retention of the duty. The Cham ber had done its best both to dissuade Lord STANLEY from imposing the 5 per cent. duty, and Sir C. WooD from the 10 per cent., but in vain. And it now appeared that the military expenditure was retained at such an excessive height, that,no prospect was offered them of the free trade they desired with India. Lord ELGIN, We are, however, informed, goes to India not only well instructed by the Chamber, but hnving expressed his concurrence with their principal views, and especially so in regard to import duties end impediments to internal communications. His Lordship relies for the pros perity of India on the combination of European enterprise and capital with Indian industry. The views of the Chamber oa American ques tions will be looked at with much interest. What do these men of business, with whom politicsatequite a subordinate consideration, say on things as they are? They sac, first, that there is an enormous falling of in our exports. Lord PALMERSTON had only joked with a deputation who told him a year ago that the falling off in our exports would be ten millions this year, but they had been very near the mark —they had actually fallen off nine millions sterling, and six millions of this were due to the falling off in the export of cotton. Had not the French treaty made up a large portion cf the fall ing off, the consequences must have been crushing. It was, however, freely acknowledged that, even had there been no disturbing causes, the falling off must have been very considerable. The prodigious overmanufacturing of the preceding years had so glutted every market that we must have diminished our production this year, even had the cotton sup ply continued as usual. The position of the cotton operatives must, however, soon become very serious. The entire consumption of raw material in Europe and America is estimated at a million and a quarter of bales—and of this more than half has been supplied, hitherto by America—from thrEe and a half, indeed, to four millions. And we can only make good the deficiency in the course of time. Meantime, in England a population receiving four teen millions a year in wages, must be to a great extent deprived of employment. Mr. MASSEY, however, and the Government will note, that anxiously as these business men looked forward to the future, and strong as the temptation must be for them to follow the course of French manufac turers, and wish the Government to interfere and break the blockade—there was not one of them but expressed himself asopposed to intervention. It was firmly held that the Americans, however much the fratricidal war was deplored, must be left to fight out their own quarrels. We wonder whether, when this report from the very heart of the cotton trade reaches America, there will be magnanimity enough to confess the injustice of charging England, under the terrors of a cotton famine, as eager to break their blockade—a blockade, too, self-con demned, being legally an insufficient one. One of the principal speakers suggested, as a feasible attempt towards a better state of things, that—a year having passed away, and the results appearing so hopeless, and being certainly so disas- trous to American finance—Manchester should send to America a calm, business-like view of the present facts of the case, or, if preferred, a deputa- tion. There was a considerable number of persons, he thought, who had been afraid to speak out hitherto, but who, after all that has occurred this year, might be emboldened to take the lead in affairs. No one wished to touch American sensitiveness, but it was thought the bettor class in America would not now be so over sensitive to the advice and expostulations of the corresponding class in this country. We observe that it seemed to be assumed by these men of busi ness that thati extravagance, debt, and taxation, must half ruin the States after the war, unless some termination were speedily found to the pre sent course. Mr. BAZLEY was not quite so de sponding as some of the speakers. He tells us that Lord RUSSELL and the Emperor of the FRENCH are already giving very judicious advice, that animosi ties would be cooled down, that ports would re-open again, and that we might expect something like a return to the peaceful commercial intercourse which existed before the great convulsion. We presume the Member for Manchester speaks what he knows. If so, we shall probably soon hear some explana tions from Ministers in their places in Parliament. After thirty-four days had been shamefully con sumed in it, the inquiry as to the sanity or in sanity of Mr, WINDHAM, of Fellbrigg Hall, in the county of Norfolk, was at length brought to a close yesterday. A jury of his countrymen, with Sir GEORGE ARMITAGE as its Foreman, closed this most cruel and revolting investigation by bringing in a verdict that, while it pronounces Mr. WINDHAM to be perfectly competent to take care of himself and his affairs, is declaratory also, of course, that there proves to have been abso lutely no case whatever for the petitioners. Al ready we observe this notorious inquiry alluded to as another and not the least remarkable of the Causes Celebres —.when, it ought, more strictly speaking, to be set apart from the usual category as in many senses un cause infante. That, termi nating as it has terminated, it should have been conducted as it has been conducted, is absolutely nothing less than a disgrace to English jurispru dence. Here is a man who is in part already, but for the most part prospectively, the owner of landed estates and other property bringing in from ten to fifteen thousand pounds sterling per annum, who, upon evidence that has long since proved to be utterly valueless (to say the very least of it I) is declared by his relatives, by those who have hoped, sooner or later, to come into possession of his ancient inheritance to be insane, to be fit only for a lunatic asylum, if not even to require very urgently to be secured in a padded room and strapped in a straitwaisteoat —and who is nevertheless, after all, at a cost to himself that it is positively frightful to contemplate, proved to be as sane as any one of the jurymen who brought in the verdict yesterday. Remembering now what has thus been delibe rately proved and demonstrated beyond the reach of contradiction, is it not absolutely lamentable to reflect upon the character of the proceedings which have led to this simple decision through such a ruinous squandering ,of money, and through so protracted, so laborious, and so ineffably loathsome a research ?It is enough—in order to appreciate this to its most painful extent—merely to glance at the few but fearful statistics noted down at the close of the now notorious WINDHAM Inquiry. In the prosecution of the inquiry, as we have seen, no less than thirty four days have been consumed. Nearly nine of those days having been devoted to the oratorical displays of the numerous counsel engaged in the cause, either for Mr. WINDHAM himself, or for his mother, Lady SorHIA GIUBELET, or for his wife, nee AGNES WILLOUGHBY, or for those who, we hesitate not to assert (notwithstand ing the filthy disclosures that have been made during the course of this investigation in regard to the conduct of others), are, bf all parties concerned, regarded with the largest amount of scorn and gene ral contumely—meaning, of course, the now thoroughly worsted Petitioners. As conclusively demonstrative, however, of the perfectly monstrous dimensions to which the inquiry has been allowed to expand during the course of its development—it will be enough to bear in mind that the evi dence of no less than 140 distinct witnesses was, more or less elaborately, extracted upon examination and cross-examination. _Fifty of these being brought into the witness-box on behalf of the Petitioners—Ninety on behalf of Mr. WINDHAM. Sickening though details have frequently been even in the abbreviated and ex purgated reports which have been by necessity published from day to day in our columns and in the columns of the rest of the public newspapers, those printed records have been as nothing com pared with the mass of abominations dragged forth, first of all in the Court of Exchequer and after wards in the Wcstminster Session House, before the unhappy Jury and the unfortunate Master in Lunacy who were compelled by a solemn duty to —sit and listen l It is in regard to this particular especially that we are constrained at onoe to ex press Our very earnest sympathy for those ill starredgentlemen, f or M r. W ARREN ( t h e M aster), and r Sir GEORG E A RMITAGE an d hi s b rother fo Jurymen, who, in their capacity as Judge and THE SUN, LONDON, FRMAY EVENING, I Jury, had to scrutinise, lynx-eyed, this protracted and horrible dabbling in nastiness. Everybody knows that homeliest of all the many wise and witty sayings of the Great NAPOLEON the one urgently recommending people to wash their dirty linen at home ! Never had it a more filthily direct applica tion than in the instance of this foul and nauseating inquiry. An inquiry, ')3 , the way, in the course of which the evidence of persons from all ranks and classes of society had to be adduced. There were tutors and railway giards, general officers and clergymen, lawyers and timber merchants, bailiffs and lodging-house keepers. There was, among others, that keen-witted old parish clerk, who, by the way, gate a quaint foreshadowing of the verdict brought in but yesterday by the jury— when,long ago,in the midst of this protracted inquiry, the said shrewd old SOLOMON DAISY, village car penter and parish clerk, oddly turned the laugh against the smart-spoken barrister just then sub jecting him to the presumed torture of a cross examination, by saying, with a twinkle of the eye, that Mr. WINDHAM was as sane as his (the witness's) interrogator, and would make just as good a lawyer if he had but the wig on! There, moreover, among the motley characters brought one after another into that wondrous witness-box, men about town and valets turned wine-merchants, surgeons and physie:ans, learned scholars and rather questionable personages being on the loose, sawney bumpkins and fast London betting men, publicins and sinners too, for that matter—the latter, by the way, rather in superfluity. And—before closing this hastily penned and wonderfully chequered catalogue, which is far from complete, even now, as expressive of the diversity of character and of professions em braced within the coripass of the 140 witnesses subjected to examinaton and cross-examination — it ought here to WI added as horridly remi niscent of the appicability of NAPOLEON'S saying to the case in hand, that among the rest of the evidence hunted up there was a "distinguished" General's search after a fresh witness of importance In the shape of a veritable washerwoman ! Remembering in effect the class of evidence that was adduced in such nauseating abundance, it almost appears to us that in the course of this revolting investigation there was one American " institution" that it might almost have been as well to have imported succes sively into the Court of 'Exchequer, and after wards into the Sessions House at Westminster, while Master WARREN and his jury were sitting there—meaning, if we may be per mitted to say so, an adequate supply of spit toons. Notwithstanding the length to which the inquiry was protracted, it should in justice not be overlooked that the learned Master repeatedly endeavoured upon every possible opportunity to preclude the counsel upon either sidb from bringing forward evidence in any way irrelevant to the proceedings. Occasionally it is to be regretted that altercations sometimes of a very comprehensible, often almost unavoidable, and upon rare occasions, even be it said of a somewhat unseemly character, impeded for a time the regular course of these proceedings. Throughout the inquiry the eminent counsel engaged upon either side dis played very remarkable ability, though frequently but little command of temper—their mutual recri minations once or twice almost carrying to extra vagance the forensic license of speech assumed with the horse-hair wig and the silk gown or the bombazene. As to the difference of opinion which arose towards the close of this prolonged inves tigation between the learned Master who pre sided over it, and the brilliant Advocate who was the chosen and foremost Champion of Mr. WIND HAM'S cause—as to the contention, that is, which took place between Mr. WARREN and Sir HUGH CAIRNS as to the examination of Mr. WINDHAM himself publicly or pri vately, these are two considerations which ought certainly not to be overlooked. It should be remembered, in resolving, as Mr. WARREN did, to have Mr. WINDHAM examined in private, con trary to the earnest wishes of Mr. WINDHAM him self, and contrary also to the emphatic and reiterated entreaties of his gifted advocate, the Master was assuming to himself (as he of course had a perfect right to do if he so pleased) a very grave responsibility. That is the first considera tion. The second being sufficiently obvious now that the WINDHAM inquiry has been brought to a close—namely, that the Verdict of the jury is in itself a perfect and final vindication of the course pursued by the Master, in resolving that Mr. WIND HAM should not be made a public exhibition of—even in compliance with his own individual wishes, even in concession to the earnest and, at last, almost petulant demand made in his behalf by Sir HUGH CAIRNS. That the Master in resolving that this course, and this course only, should be pursued, was acting conscientiously, and even from the humanest considerations, every one, not excepting Sir HUGH CAIRNS himself, must all along have been perfectly well convinced. It ap peared to Sir HUGH CAIRNS, however, and and to many others, and we will frankly admit to ourselves also, while the result of the inquiry was still pending, was still problematic, that Mr. WARREN was acting rashly, almost with indis cretion, when persisting in his refusal to comply with the often repeated and most urgent en treaties for a Public Examination. Yet even then it was so far removed from hostile criticism this unflinching determination on the part of Mr. WARREN, inasmuch as he was thereby, as already remarked, assuming to himself voluntarily a grave and weighty responsibility. As the event has proved, however, we repeat, the verdict is the complete vindication of the Master's resolve. And so this in many respects lamentable case is brought to an end at last— Mr. WINDHAM being pronounced sane, but at the same time being left, at any rate for very many years to come, a ruined man so far as his actual pro perty is concerned. Not, let us hope, morally. For it is the one good to himself that is likely to come out of this infamously trumped-up charge, and out of these consequently fright ful exposures of his own early depravity. Let him not, in heaven's name, misapprehend the meaning of the ringing cheers that greeted the Verdict in his favour, or of the BRIAREUS hand grasp of congratulations held out to him by the General Public, or of the exulting shouts that followed him on his quitting the Court yesterday afternoon. Let him be quite certain of this, they were simply and literally the acclamations of warm-hearted Englishmen lovin g Justice, but loathing mere gross vulgar Pro fligacy. The proposed British North American Associa tion has made an effective start in regard to its preliminary meeting yesterday ; and will, we trust, organise itself numerously and successfully. Mem bers of the British Legislature, by their attendance in such an unusual proportion, show at least the attention such an Association would receive from the House of Commons. Hitherto our North American colonies have not had fair play. During the days of their implicit dependence on the Colonial-office, the English colonies were at a dis advantage. Emigrants to them did not enjoy the political liberties Which they would gain by becom- JANUARY 31, 186'.. ing United States citizens, and, as usual, with the want of political freedom there was a want of com mercial enterprise. All that has now, however, completely passed:away. An Englishman is freer in Canada and the rest of the North American British States than he would be in the United States; he has the privilege of not being muzzled and gagged by despotic majorities. He can be in a minority, and find himself only the more respected for his firmness in having and uttering an opinion of his own. He finds himself also under a Government where lynch law is unknown, where not passion or caprice, but law, is supreme. There 'can be, we imagine, no question now of the vastly superior political condition of every citizen of Canada to that of his New York neighbour just across the line. With greater liberty the spirit of enterprise seems to have been awakened. A long and noble railroad connects the St. Lawrence and the har bour of Portland with the remotest West to which civilisation has yet extended. The dwellers on Lakes Erie and Michigan itself are no longer cut off from rapid communication with the Old World, while a sea-going vessel can leave the Lakes themselves for Liverpool. Canada is now the country in which the emigrant's improvements are sure to increase in value every year, and to enjoy the protection of a strong Government. The other colonies also appear to be taking a start and increasing their trade—Nova Scotia is even to have the attraction of respectable gold fields— while the New Brunswick timber trade, and the Newfoundland fisheries, will have their at tractions for different classes. There is, in deed, hardly any class of industrious emi grant who may not find a field open for him in the free extensions of his native empire in Northern America. If an association of the kind projected acts vigo rously under present circumstances, it may do much indeed for British North America. Information brought home to the emigrant class is the most im portant object, nor will its action on the Govern ment, if well backed up in the colony, be much less important. May it succeed in directing thither the stream which ought to have flowed thither long ago. Indeed, emigration to Canada has doubled already since the American war. We hope it will soon become the chief stream. As relatives follow those who have pre. ceded them, the grand thing wanted is some thing to give Canada the start. American war, to be followed by vast taxation, is just what was wanted ; and the Association will have but promptly to make use of the opening already provided for them. The Prince and Princess Leiningen arrived at Os borne yesterday. The Princess Hohenlohe remains on a visit to her Majesty. ___ BERLIN, lan. 28.—At the palace of the Crown Prince yesterday the birthday of the young Prince Frede rick William Victoria Albert (born Jan. 27, 1859) was duly honoured. The King and Queen paid a visit to their grandchild, and Lord and Lady A. Loftus presented their congratulations in the name of Queen Victoria. _ _ . _ His Majesty the King of the Belgians visited his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at Gloucester House yesterday. _ _ His Excellency the French Ambassador and the Countess de Flahault returned to Coventry House yester day evening from Broadlands. His Excellency M. Tricoupi and family arrived at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, on Wednesday. The Duke of Wellington returned to Apsley House yesterday from Strathfieldsaye. Tho Earl and Countess Stanhope come to town on Monday next from Chevening Park, Kent, for the season. The Earl of Brownlow and Lady Marian Alford are passing the season at the Isle of Wight. His lordship is recovering from his recent indisposition. Lord and Lady Overstone have arrived at their residence in Carlton-gardens from Overstone Park. Lord and Lady Harry Vane are expected in town early next week from their seat in Sussex, Sir Harry and Lady Verney have arrived, at their residence in South• street for the season. Sir F. Graham and Lady Moon have arrived in Portman-square from Brighton. Sir Willoughby and Lady Jones and Miss Jones have arrived at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, from Cranmer Hall. Sir John Pakington, Bart., M.P., has been ap pointed president of the Birmingham and Midland Insti tute. The right hon. baronet is, we (Worcestershire Chronicle) are glad to say, quite recovered from the effects of his late accident. The Pope refuses to preconise the Abbe Momique, just appointed Bishop of Martinique by Napoleon 111., and will not condescend to give any reasons. It will be satisfactory to the commercial public to hear that all the telegrams forwarded to Alexandria to catch the mails for India, China, Australia, &c., between the dates of the 18th and 25th, arrived in time. Telegrams generally continue to come from Alexandria with greater regularity and despatch. The amount of Australian gold known to be now at sea is £407,000. The Indemnity with £50,000, and the Monarch with £170,000, have each been out 77 days; and the Clutha, with £91,000, and the Lightning, with £96,000, 72 and 68 days respectively. HARTLEY COLLIERY CATASTROPIIE.—The com mittee for managing the Liverpool subscription for the sur vivors and relatives of those who suffered by this frightful calamity, through his worship the Mayor (Mr. Robert Hutchison), yesterday transmitted the sum of £1,500, the first instalment of the subscription, to the local committee. HARTLEY COLLIERY RELIEF FUND.—During the whole of yestetday, as on the three previous days, the contributions in aid of the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the accident at the Hartley Colliery continued to pour in, and the amount received during the day, including £204 from Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and Co., was £1.197 7s 4d, making a total of £4,267 in four days. The subscriptions were so numerous that it is utterly impossible to give them in detail. It is, however, understood that they will be ad vertised. The dreadful catastrophe at Hartley Colliery has excited scarcely less sympathy in Paris than in England. We (G alignani) have received applications inquiring how contributions can be transmitted for the relief of the fami lies left unprovided for by the victims. Any sums that may be sent to us we shall take care to forward to the proper quarter, and we have also to state that subscriptions for the samo benevolent purpose have been opened at the banking-houses of Messrs. E. Blount and MM. Charles Laffitte. COAL MINE CATASTROPHES ABROAD.—A fearful event took place on the morning of the 24th inst. at Leoben, in Styria, when, from some unexplained cause, the wood work supports of a coal-mine caught fire, and of 100 men at work 24 were suffocated by the smoke and gas before they could make their escape. Fifteen bodies were brought up, but the others could not be reached by the exploring parties. The fire did not extend to tho coal in the mine. A second casualty is reported from Brux, in Bohemia, near which town a coal mine was in flames on the 20th inst., and a fear ful body of flame was roaring up the shaft and far above it, so that at night the spectacle was truly terrific, and could be seen at a long distance. On the 22d flames broke through the earth around the mine in many places. EXTRAORDINARY SHOOTING.—Two sweepstakes came off at the butts of the Bristol Riflo Volunteers on Tuesday. There were ten competitors in the first, and nine in the second. The ranges in the first sweepstakes were 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 yards each. The highest number of points made was 43, and the lowest 29 ; the total number of points was 345, or an average of 34.50. In the second sweepstakes the ranges were 150, 200, 250, and 300 yards, five shots each. The highest score was 35, and the lowest 29 ; total number of points, 287 ; average, 31.88, or within one point of 32.00. THE RIVAL AMERICAN WAR VESSELS AT SOUTH AMTON.—SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 30.—There is now little doubt that the Government has put some limit to the stay of the Tuscarora and the Nashville in this port. It is not thought likely that the Tuscarora will return to Southamp ton Water. All expenses incurred by her have been de frayed, and the Nashville will doubtless socn leave the port. The Tuscarora is now in the Yarmouth-roads, not far from the Needles. It is probable that she will be allowed to remain there to watch the Nashville. This will give the latter a chance for her life, as it were, because she can get out through Spithead, and may possibly escape in the Channel during a dark night. The Tuscarora may, however, run out through the Needles in an hour and cut her off. When the Nashville gets outside neutral ground at the east end of the Isle of Wight, she has sea-room of about 30 miles long and upwards of 100 miles broad, in which she can try to avoid her formidable antagonist. Both ships have friends in Southampton who can give intelli gence of the movements of the ships to their commanders, for there is a telegraph station at Hurst, close by where the Tuscarora is lying. LA TEST Advices from Rome state that a band of 150 brigands, under the command of Edward Kamer, had been despatched to Brindisi. Preparations were being made to effect a land ing on the Neapolitan coasts, with the object of provoking an insurrection. The health of the Pope has improved. MADRID, JAN. 30. Immediately on his return to Paris M. Mon, in behalf of the Spanish Government, will sign the deed for the settlement of the debt due to France since 1823. LISBON, JAN. 30. Two war-steamers were launched to-day, on which occasion a popular demonstration was made in honour of the King and his father, Don Ferdinand. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 30. The Journal de St. Petersburg of to-day announces that the Assembly of the Nobles at Moscow has decided upon proposing to the Emperor the appli cation of the principle of election to the Adminis tration of Justice, and that the taxes should be collected in the provinces by persons elected for the purpose, instead of by the functionaries ap pointed by the State. THE HAGUE, JAN. 30. A new Ministry has been formed, and is corn posed as follows: M. Thorbecke M. Stratenus . M. Betz M. Blanken M. Uplenbeck Interior. Foreign Affairs. Finance. •• • • War. Colonies. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 25. An Imperial Hatt has been published, announ cing that the Budget will soon be forthcoming. II also places Fuad Pasha over the Finance Depart• ment. A Commission has been named to ascertain the extent of the departmental debts, with a view to their consolidation. A destructive murrain has broken out among the horned cattle in the provinces. The Russians have again been defeated in Circas sia, with great loss. Further wrecks are reported to have taken place in the Black Sea. RAGUSA, JAN. 30. The Turkish troops advanced yesterday as far as Glacska. The majority of the inhabitants with drew into Austrian territory. Those who were armed stopped at the frontier. All the insurgents in the neighbourhood, except a band numbering about 100 men, dispersed on the approach of the Turkish troops. TRIESTE, JAN. 30. Advices from Athens announce that M. Miauli's Ministry had been replaced by a new Ministry under the Presidency of M. Kanaris. A popular demonstration had taken place in favour of the latter. The streets of Athens were traversed by patrols. The troops were not allowed to leave their barracks. SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 31 The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, with the Peninsular mails, arrived off the Needles at 1015 a.m, to-day. FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 30, " The despatch of Marshal de Castellane," says the Toulonnais, " ordering the provisional suspen sion of the embarkment of the troops for Mexico, remains still a fact unexplained and inexplicable, particularly in the presence of subsequent de spatches, giving orders to hasten the getting ready of vessels destined for that expedition." BOURSE, Jan. 30.—The market has shown rather less activity, and in the business done has been generally at a slight decline on the closing rates of the previous day, caused for the most part by sales for the arrangement of the monthly account.

A letter from Abaseh (Circassia) states that— " The Russians, recently wishing to construct a fortress at Kane-Semkigoch, on the river Schian guastcha, crossed the latter and commenced to cut down the timber growing7onlits banks, the moun taineers attacked them in force. The Russians were driven back with a loss of 150 men and all the tools which they were using to cut down the trees. One of :the mountain chiefs, Hriziz-Ogle Obukh, was killed with ten of his followers. At Parsa a sotnia of Cossacks who were convoying provisions fell in with the chief Ketas-Bouh, who killed 25 of the enemy, routed the remainder, and captured the con voy. According to our latest intelligence the general Evdokimof, endeavouring to pass the Schianguastcha, to proceed to Toapa, was despe rately attacked by the mountaineers of Abaseh and Oboukha in great numbers. The engagement was a very desperate one, but my informant gave me no account of the result." PRUSSIA. The following are the principal clauses of the bill on ministerial responsibility just presented to the Chamber of Nobles of Prussia:— " The Ministers cannot be impeached except for a violation of the Constitution. They will be liable to a maximum imprisonment of five years, and be incapable of future employment. Any proposition for impeachment must be made in writing, and be signed by at least 30 members in the Chamber of Nobles and 50 in the Chamber of Deputies. If the proposition is referred to a com mission, it is to be composed of three members of the Upper Chamber and five Deputies. The Minister impeached may defend himself either verbally or by writing. The commission must make its report within one month, otherwise the proposi tion will fall to the ground. If the report recom mends the impeachment, the charge will be tried by a special tribunal composed of 12 members. In order to form this tribunal, 20 will be drawn by lot from among the members of the Supreme Court, and 10 from the first Presidents of the Courts of Appeal, and from these 30, 12 will be selected by lot. Both the accusers and the accused will have the right of challenge. The proceedings are to be public unless State secrets render a contrary course necessary. The Xing does not rencunce the right of pardon, but, be will not again give a post to a condemned Mi.nist er." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 26th state that a urivid State banquet took pine the preceding day' at the royal palace, to celebrate the fete of the Prince N E . of tho 11:; ..14.1basfAdor of France sat at the King's right. Don Modesto Certazar, formerly Minister of Justice, expired in the night of the 25th. Those journals announce that, according to intelligence from Vera Cruz, the Spanish troops were exceedingly in favour with the inhabitants, who received them with cheers whenever they marched out for exercise. TURIN, JAN. 31. THE FRENCH N.4r/Y. The Minister of Marine, in his report contained n the French-book, thus speaks of the state and prospects of naval affairs t " The work of transformation of the naval ma teriel continues to progress at the rate provided for by credits regularly alloted every year for the pur pose, according to the plan adopted in 1857. As was made known last year, a greater number of our building slips, up to the end of 1860, were un occupied than had been the case for a long time past. The Government was awaiting the results of the trial of the first iron cased frigate which was ever built, and the bold initiative' of which belongs to France. " After the success which has been obtained, to doubt was no longer permitted ; the art of ship building has made an immense stride ; it was our duty, therefore, to resume the course of those labours which can alone keep up the naval power of the empire to the level it must preserve if we would not see it decline. "We have done so alike without precipitation and without hesitation; the gaol fixed beforehand in 1857, and which it was then proposed to attain in 14 years, we are approaching with firm and steady strides, as befits a great country whose loyalty stands too high, and whose independence and might are too unquestionable to permit of any indecorous hurry or slackness in the fulfilment of its most lc gitimate designs. At the present day the number of our men-of-war is 101, as appears from the following tabular statement : New Old sailing ships ships. transformed into Totals. auxiliary screws. Line-of-battle ships .... 12 Iron-plated frigates .... 2 Ordinary frigates .. 15 Corvettes 7 7 Avisos (i.e., gun-boats) .. 36 - 36 72 29 101 Which would show for the year an increase of 13 new ships ; but, on the ether hand, five ships have been lost at sea, and 11 have been ordered to be broken up as too old and unfit for service. Lastly, we have afloat and in course of completion one line of-battle ship, four iron-cased frigates, three ordi nary frigates, six gunboats, and two floating bat teries. " The inscription maritime on the Ist July last numbered 170,496 seamen, viz.:— On board men-of-war Shipped for long voyages on board merchantmen 31,047 Engaged in the coasting trade Engaged in the coast fisheries In private dockyards In their quarters 170,496 " The experiments for the improvements of naval artillery are being carefully carried on. Satisfac tory results have been obtained, and we have reason to believe that in the construction of our materiel we shall have realised improvements at least equal to those of other nations. " Lastly, 135 electric signal posits, connecting every point of the seaboard of the empire with each other, will be at an early period provided with their apparatus, and will thus soon be able to render all those , services which the defence of our coast and humanity may require." THE OUT-I)OO.R RELIEF SYSTEM 1N IRELAND. "It has become desirable that testimony to the necessity for extended out door relief' should be borne by the country, in some fashion, be fore the assembly of Parliament, in order that the representations of the Roman Catholic hierarchy on that subject may have a public endorsement, tending to back them up when con troverted by Chief Secretary Sir Robert Peel. Hence the feelers which have been insiduously at work since the opening of the new year. With no profit to the Cullenite cause had the pulse of Newry been tested. The attempt to get up a public meet ing here, ostensibly to consider about affording relief to the poor at the present season,' proved utterly abortive. The trap having been detected was quietly avoided, and a spirit of genuine bene volence had its development in a movement some what more practically philanthropic than would have been a demonstration countenancing the policy of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Town meeting there was none, but the end has been accomplished nevertheless. Saturday's meeting of the Newry' Board of Guardians has amply compensated for shortcoming on the side of the town ; and Arch bishops Cullen and M'Hale have to thank the mem - ber for a timely voucher, by the deliberate vote of the Newry Board of Guardians, certifying the authenticity of the views presented to her Majesty's Government ex cathedra 011 the subject of the ne cessity of extending out.door relief' in Ireland ! Boards of Guardians voting as the Newry Board of Guardians has voted for the extension of the out door relief system among the population of Ireland, are unadvisedly breaking ground which, wisely humane, they should rather preserve intact. The manful spirit of independence once overborne, where 'shall dependence find its limit ?" " The supply of timber by means of contracts taken without any intermediate agents by the Ad ministration of Woods and Forests is proceeding satisfactorily, as well as the supply of our harbours with French coal, which, henceforth secure, will be very soon further facilitated by the completion of the railways in Brittany, and enable us to dispense with foreign supplies. " The hydraulic works indispensable to meat the growing requirements of the fleet are being carried on with all the activity that the sums allowed for the purpose will admit. Six dry docks were com pleted in 1861 at Cherbourg, l'Orient, and Roch fort, others have been commenced at Brest and Toulon. The submarine foundation of Fort Cha- • vagnac is progressing at the entrance of Cherbourg roadstead ; the foundation of sea forts at Castigneau close to Toulon, is being laid ; the quays of that harbour are now completed ; the Vauban dock has been deepened, and a new one, that of Missiessy, has been commenced. The Newry Board of Guardians have been in fluenced strangely enough on the motion of the Conservative M.P. for the borough, .Mr. Peter Quinn—to sanction an extended out-door relief system by a formal resolution. Thus have they done all that is in their power to further the designs of Dr. Cullen and the Roman Catholic prelates, and to deprive the report of the late patient and capable Parliamentary Committee of its value. They are taken to task for this profound mistake by the local journal, the Newry Telegraph, in an argumen tative and effective article. Every well-instructed journalist in Ireland is opposed to an extended out door relief scheme as demoralising and unnecessary. The Ultramontane party clamour for it from reasons having no connection whatever with the temporal well-being of the poor. They imagine that the power of the spiritual functionary would be in creased by it ; and that, along with the other modi fications which they claim, the principle when adopted would enable them to control the landed proprietary and larger occupiers, and divide with them more than at present all local influence. The Newry paper says, very justly : "In contempt of the teachings of experience, holding out a solemn warning against a measure fraught with serious social danger, the Newry Board of Guardians has seen fit to ' open the door' which, it will soon be found, there exists anything but backwardness to make available, per jas aut nefas, on the side of a peasantry characteristically too prone practically to appreciate the sentiment of the refrain -4" Tie the greatest divarsion under the sun To sit by the fire till the praties is done I"
