Lord CLARENCE PAGET, the noble and gallant Secretary to the Board of Admiralty, and M.P. for the united boroughs of Sandwich, Deal, and Weimer, has (in conjunction with his col league, Mr. KNATCHBULL HUGESSEN, • one of the junior Lords of the Treasury) just " had it out " with his constituents. A numerously attended meeting in the Guildhall at Deal on Saturday evening listened with hushed attention for two or three hours to the remarks uttered by Lord CLARENCE—upon almost every topic now within the range of the political horizon. Without any pretensions whatever to eloquence, the distinguished tar, whose last harangue we are here alluding to, never fails—when he fairly puts his tongue to the task with a will—to deliver as telling a speech as any man within the walls ofParliament. And without any question his last speech is, in some respects, about the very best he has delivered within our remembrance. So far from the diversity of subjects touched upon by the noble and gallant member for Sandwich tending to deteriorate in any appreciable manner either the force or interest of his observations, that variety, on the contrary, may be said to have enhanced both their force and their interest. As a matter of course, whenever we turn to these comprehensive surveys of the events of the past few months, addressed now to this constituency, now to that constituency, we find, by necessity, the same ground traversed all over again, and topics that we have discussed repeatedly, first of all, at the time of their earliest ventilation, and then repeatedly afterwards, again revived for the benefit of a particular and local reconsideration. These themes, tempting though many of them are to dilate upon, particularly when viewed by a new and sympathetic commentator, as in the instance now immediately before us, we are constrained nevertheless to glance at merely askance, almost, it may be at times, to pass by un noticed. For example, it was hardly befitting that Lord CLARENCE PAGET should enter upon any re view, however superficial, of the general situa tion, without some impressive and loyal allusions being uttered by him, first of all, in regard to the calamity which has still, be it said, so very recently befallen both the QUEEN and the country in the premature demise of his late Royal High ness. Even a casual allusion to the late fright ful catastrophe at Hartley Colliery was all but inevitable under the circumstances, enabling the noble and gallant speaker, as it did, to refer to her MAJESTY as ono " who, from the day when she ascended the Throne until now, and even at this very moment of her own grief and sorrow, has always shown a sincere sympathy for the misfortunes of others"—meaning here obviously the relicts and orphans of the poor pitmen down in Northumber land. Apropos, again to the position in which Lord PALMERSTON'S Government now star' is im mediately before the commencement of the Session of 1862, Lord CLARENCE, as one of the members borne e wit h p o a r t while, ooity o i f f of that Governm en t, may he finds it impossibl e to rbeesi exulting among other things over the result of the Anglo-French Comme rc i a l Treaty, 80 Tar as th a t Treaty has yet been enabled really to come into operation. Still more, as a matter of course, L or d CLARENCE, while talking to his Deal constituents, comments at length, and quite frankly, and in de. TIIE,' SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1862. tail, as indeed becomes him, upon the whole of the vexed question of the Trent seizure, beginning with the insolent beginning and ending with the eminently meek and conciliatory end. There is a genial good humour and bon hommie about the noble Lord the Admiralty Secretary, that carries his audience with him invariably —no matter whether he is speaking, from the front of the Treasury bench, to the House of Commons, or ad. dressing a provincial assemblage of electors, com posed for the most part of his own constituents. I There is more of " the milk of human kindness" in his nature than of " the gall of bitterness." And it is significant of this how he squandered his epithets of unstinted admiration around him on Saturday, when alluding now to this one, now to that one, among his more imme diate contemporaries. When he spoke of his late Royal Highness, he spoke of him as a Prince, who "endeared himself to the people because he was not only a virtuous, an honest, and a great man, but also a good and a religious man, and as such was loved and respected throughout the land." In a similar strain, when he had occasion a few minutes afterwards to refer to some remarks recently uttered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he could only mention him in so many words as " that extraordinary man, Mr. GLADSTONE." So likewise, when commenting, as we have incidentally shown, upon the Anglo-French Treaty negotiated under the auspices of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord CLARENCE, in justice, accords the lion's share of commendation for whatever good he deemed to have come from it, to the unadorned Plenipotentiary at Paris, speaking of Mr. COBDEN, there and then' as " that great man and patriotic Englishman." It is not, however, for his tributes to the memory of the Prince, to the genius of the financier, or to the civism of the Tribune - Diplomatist that the speech of Lord CLARENCE PAGET will be found especially worth looking into. Neither is it for that matter especially deserving of examination by reason of any new light that it can possibly throw upon that serious misunderstanding, and eventual reconciliation between the British Govern ment and the Federal Government at Washington. It is rather because the Admiralty Secretary's speech down at Deal, on Saturday, throws a fresh and cheery flood of light upon the eminently satis factory state of affairs nowadays in regard to the Royal Navy of England that we turn to the con sideration of this last address of his with such peculiar satisfaction. What possibly could be more exhilarating in its way than his reference to simple facts thus in regard to the Royal Naval Reserve Bill " See !" he exclaims, " the position we have arrived at in this matter in the course of the last year and a half. Parliament granted, at the instance of the the Royal Commission of which my friend Mr. GREEN was appointed a member—an honour with which he may go to his grave satisfied—the re quisite means for working out that scheme. The Commission found fault, first of all withour utter want of anything like reserves for the navy, and recommended certain measures to the Government. The first thing the pre sent Ministry did on coming into :office was to set about carrying out the re commendations of that Commission. Well, we have carried them out, and I may almost say to the very letter ; so sensible were they, so good, that we have completely adopted them. And what has been the result ? There has been no necessity to have recourse to bounties in manning our ships during the late crisis. Why, we have been for two years and half endeavouring to get rid of that mischievous bounty offered by the late Government. We have got rid cf the bad men who were induced to enter the navy for the sake of that bounty, and I believe we need never resort to that expedient again. Give the men good pay. That is what is wanted. I had the good fortune to carry through the House of commons a bill for organising a Naval Reserve. Sailors are very suspicious of the Admiralty, or, rather, they used to be. They were very coy about coming for ward to join. We used to pick up ten or a dozen men here and there. -The seamen said, The Ad miralty are going to kidnap us. They are going to send us off; this is one of their acts of bad faith to wards us ; they want to persuade us that we are entering into a reserve, but they mean to ship us off into the first man-of-war they require.' I have ad dressed the men at public meetings and told them— ' It is no such thing; we only want you to come forward for training in gunnery in time of peace, in order that you may be ready to be useful in time of war; and we will give you good pay while under going that preliminary training,' Well, that is reasonable; and the sailors, after turning their ' quid,' as they say, and reflecting a little, began to think that good terms were offered them, and the re sult is,' said he, 'they are flocking in by thou sands. We have 9,000 of them now, and I have no doubt that in the course of a year or two the utmost limit of the Parliamentary vote will be reached. These reserves are now advanced to that extent that, to give you some idea of what they are, I may state that to-morrow we could have twenty-seven line-of- battle ships with them." Bravo, Lord CLARENCE! That is just what we have been so long hoping and hoping for : and not simply hoping for either, but arguing for as earnestly as we could finds words to argue with, for years and years past in these columns of The Sun. And it is not simply in reference to the ad vance of the great movement at last commenced with a view to the organisation of an efficien t NAVAL RESERVE that the Admiralty Secretary found cause for speaking(justifiablyenough)in the language at once of exultation and congratulation—it was also possible for him to speak this in reference quite as emphatically to the general improvement of the whole condition of our true defenders—our English men- o'-war's wen ! "For many years," said Lord CLARENCE [and recollect he was talking on Saturday last in the hearing of merchant sailors, of Deal boatmen, and, among his other auditors, of Mr. GREEN, the eminent shipowner !] For many years," said Lord CLARENCE PAGET, " there has been a great prejudice against the Navy. The mer chant seamen supposed that if they went on board a man-of-war it was what was called a' Hell afloat,' and that the sooner they got out of it, if they had once got in, the better. That is the opinion of most sailor men. Well, but these things have changed. We are paying our sailors in the navy higher wages than in the merchant service, and justly higher, We exact a more stringent discipline; we exact, too, greater cleanliness, if I may say so without offence to my friend Mr. GREEN, who has something like 30 ships, all of the crews of which are as clean as men-of-war's men. Bat there is no doubt we require greater qualifications in the men —a knowledge of gunnery, for instance. Well, we pay them better. Mark this, my sailor friends : We pay the able seamen in the navy now, taking into, consideration his allowances—viz., gunnery pay, good conduct pay, if he be a good man, and the allowance for clothes —w e pay him, I say, upwards o f £3 per month. My worthy friend, who pays his wen w e ll, can't pay them like that. They are, more- _ • over, well cared for; they have a pension in their old age; and what is the result P Why, you take care of your seamen, and they are grateful to you; for there is no more grateful creature living than the seaman if well treated. A state of things is conse quently arising in which the navy is fast becoming to the seaman a boon instead of a misery when he goes on board a man-of-war. To what are we to attribute this marvellous change P It is because England is liberal, and Parliament is liberal. I can go to the House of Commons, as you all know, and ask for anything for the seamen, and the House w ill grant it." Nuts—that last declaration of the Admi. ralty Secretary--nothing less than nuts, surely, to our old friends the Peace-at-any-Price econo mists. The fact is—and it is satisfactory to know this perfectly well at last —the fact is that we are now really and seriously in a fair way to perfect the rehabilitation of the Royal Navy of England. Of this fact Lord CLARENCE PAGET'S speech on Satur day at Deal, is the last happy reminder. While Mr. SEWARD is becoming so very obliging and courteous, that Abolition orators seem to b© warming up in wordy wrath against England. Even Mr. SUMNER'S great speech was made to show that England had gone on her knees to American prin ciples; and, that the surrender of the men whom all Americans declared they would never part with, and whom "the other, SUMNER" and Mr. EVERETT, proved they were bound to hold fast, was an Ameri can triumph. And so it was, too, though not in the way Mr. SUMNER meant, for it was the triumph of prudence and common sense over pride and vindic tiveness. And now a still more furious Abolitionist, he whose abolition fight in the Senate we noticed the other day—Mr. OWEN LOVEJOY—has added his invectives against England, to the more gen tlemanly demonstrations by our great humiliation by Mr. SUMNER. The occasion was one pacific enough. Congress was asked to make an appropriation to send Ameri can goods to the English exhibition when, as the telegram tells us—Mr. OWEN LOVEJOY, in the choice language of American oratory said—" I oppose this bill as it is enough for us to have been. humbugged, dishonoured, and disgraced by England." A gentle reminder by another speaker, that their own Go vernment might have as much to do with the " dis grace" as that of England called forth the following remarkable effusion; he said, in reply, he under stood how it was that disgrace was all America could bear, and continued : "We marched up to the sweating drops of blood, and yet we are asked to say we did it cheerfully, and that we appro priate money for Commissioners to appear at England's Exhibition. Having submitted to dis grace, the least we can do is to acknowledge it, and stay at home until we can whip England. I hate the surrender ! I hate the British Government ! I here avow and record that hate, and declare it in extinguishable. I cherish hate while living and be queath it to my sons, whom I charge, if there is war with England, to enter the war. I trust the rebellion will soon be suppressed. We can then avenge the insult we have received. We will then stir up Ire land. We will appeal to the English Chartists and to the French inhabitants of Canada. We will join hands with France and Russia to take Eng land's proud Eastern possessions, and we will take away the Crown from the English Government be fore we have ceased. I trust in God that time will come. I believe we should have been stronger for a war with England, for we should have felt the necassity of making short work of the rebels." We need not undertake to show that an exhibi tion of their own produce in the Great World's Mart of 1862 is a question of their own interest, not of ours, and that we have plenty of applicants for the space if they do not wish for it. The gawky contributions to the last Exhibition do not cer tainly increase our wish to press them to send over much of the results of their native industry this time. They are welcome rather than wished for. But why all this singularly obtrusive hatred of England and her Government on the part of Aboli tionists ? What Lave we done to be charged with an insult which must be avenged, if posssble, in Mr. LOVEJOY'S own lifetime, and if not, must re quire of that gentleman to swear his son, HANNI BAL LOVEJOY, we may suppose, to eternal enmity against England. What has our widowed QUEEN done to require that the American LOVEJOYS should find their savage joy in taking away her crown ? Could the insult be so very undurable of making a demand which even such very diverse States as France, Austria, and Prussia thought we must make, and counselled Mr. LovvoY's Government to comply with. Surely the only party disgraced in the affsir, besides the hero WILELS, is the Government which awaited the demand of England, and which did not refuse to accept the Commis sioners as prisoners. Perhaps it may be thought that we give too much prominence to such rant. We should think so, were it not reasonable to suppose that if Abo litionists, who have so long looked for the moral support of England find it necessary to make such hustings orations as these in the Legislature, there must be a strong feeling of the kind amongst those to whose votes they are looking for re-election. We ought to be aware of this, and keep our eyes open to it for every reason; it shows not only the need of caution on the frontiers of Canada, lest weak ness there tempt passion to lawless outbreaks; but also the desirableness of avoiding all possible occa sions of irritation ; that if war should ariso sooner or later between the two countries, the fault may be wholly on one side. One of the strongest arguments against breaking ,he blockade by any act on our part is the light in which it would be viewed by all coming generations of Americans. We believe that we have a legal right to break it on the ground of inefficiency, though we think it would be eventually injurious o ns to do it, and that our interest lies rather, now that so much of the mischief the blockade could do has been done, in seeing it protracted indefinitely, till. the whole of the tropical countries had become cotton growers for us, and purchasers of our pro duce in exchange. But it is surely our interest also to avoid allowing the North to throw her failure to conquer the South, if she does fail, upon us. Were we to open and protect a free trade with the South, doubtless the North would give up very quickly, and would negotiate the best terms it could ; but it would hand down to all American posterity that it was E ng l an d , no t th e S ou the rns themselves, who comp e ll e d t h e separa ti on. F or that we may be sure we should never be forgiven. If our thoroughly impartial course hitherto has created such misrepresentations and ill-will, what must we expect if we sided with the South as freely as we now do with the North. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Southern men have died by weapons manufactured in England. If we enabled the South to fight at similar advantage, we should certainly never hear the last of it ; it would, doubt less, quickly settle the present dispute, for the Southerns want nothing but the money their cot ton would buy, and the military stores it would purchase to bid effectual defiance to the North for ever. We see even by the last advices what efforts the North is making from Malta to Quebec to pre vent the South from obtaini ng any supp li es f rom Europe, any communication with it. N%rh a t o the re c ent chan ges i n the Cab i net mean, r even v e n we shall soon better understand. One thing is certain—Mr. CAMERON wa s one o f t h e mos t anti slavery men in the Cabinet—the one who advocated a relentless emancipation as a military necessity. So Mr. CAMERON goes to Russia, where he will at least sympathise with, and be acceptable to, a CZAR who emancipates his serfs on very reasonable terms, whether their proprietors like or not, and giving them but little indeed in the way of com pensation. Of Mr. CASSIUS M. CLAY, who comes home from Rome to take a command in the Federal army, we also know something. We know at least bow big he could talk, and write to English newspapers, when Mr LINCOLN first sent him to this side the Atlantic. He will now, as a general, have an opportunity of something better than " prave 'orts." He must, however, be quick to get to America before the treasury is quite ex hausted, or before Mr. CHASE has been compelled to flood the country with inconvertible paper. A result not likely to be long in arriving at the present comparative rates of expenditure and taxa tion. The Right Hon. B. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli have returned to Grosvenor Gate for the season, from a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield House, Herts. The right hon. gentleman has issued cards of invitation for a Parliamentary dinner on the sth proximo, to a circle of his supporters in the House of Commons. The many friends of the late Baron Bunsen, who was so deservedly esteemed while filling the pest of Prus sian Minister in this country, will be glad to learn that his widow, Baroness Bunsen, has returned to England with her family, and is passing the winter at St. Leonards. THE HOUSES OF LORDS AND COMMONS.--During the recess all the members' benches of both the Houses of Lords and Commons have been re-covered—the former with red and the latter with green morocco leather. The Kamptulicon carpet, that for the last eight years has been down in the corridors, committee rooms, library, and else where, has been taken up, and a chocolate-coloured, neat patterned oil cloth, corresponding with the encaustic pave ments, placed in its stead. GALE AND WRECK OFF HOLYHEAD.—A most terrific gale was experienced at Holyhead throughout Wed nesday night. A vessel foundered about midnight between the Isle of Barlsey and the South Stack, within about 'l4 miles from land. She proved to be the screw steamer Kan garoo, of Aberdeen, bound from the Clyde for Bordeaux with a cargo of wool and pig-iron. Two boats, containing the crew, pushed off from her. One, containing the mate and six hands, happily reached the shore off the Roscolyn coast, but it is at present feared that the rest of the crew, 14 in number, have been lost, as the boat in which they left the ship has been found on the rocks, and no tidi gs have been heard of the unfortunate men. A large number of vessels have turned into the harbour, many dismasted and otherwise damaged. WRECK OF THE SHIP INDIAN OCEAN.—lntelli gence reached Liverpool on Friday afternoon to the effect that the ship Indian Ocean, belonging to the Black Ball line of Australian clippers, had been wrecked at Annestown, on the Wexford coast, and that all on board had perished. Fortunately, so far as the loss of life is concerned, the report turns out to be unfounded. Captain Hutchison, the com mander, with his crew, arrived in Liverpool on Saturday morning, It is true the ship was lost, with her cargo, but no lives were sacrificed. The Indian Ocean, of 1,019 tons, sailed from Liverpool for Sydney OR the 20th inst., with a valuable cargo. THE EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES.—A copy of the bill which Mr. Cowper, the First Commissioner of Works, intends to introduce into Parliament, on the sub ject of the Thames embankment, was forwarded on Friday evening to the Metropolitan Board of Works. An intima tion was given at the close of the last session, that the pro ceeds of the coal tax would ba applied towards the expense of the embankment recommended by the commissioners, and that the work should be carried out under the superin tendence of the Metropolitan Board of Works. The bill which has now been prepared, provides that the embank ment shall be confided to Et commission to be specially ap • pcinted for the purpose. Four members of the Metropolitan Board and two of the City Commission of Sewers are to be nominated as forming part of the commission ; and the construction of the embankment will, it is said, be entrusted to Messrs. M'Lean and Stilewell. The arrangement is one which will not be received with great favour by the mem bers of the Metropolitan Board of Works. ANOTPIER FATAL CRINOLINE ACCIDENT.—On Saturday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Westminster Hospital on the body of Margaret Clegg, aged 15 years,who died from the effects of severe burning on Monday last. The deceased and another little girl were sitting by the fire, when the former got up to reach something from the man tlepiece. Her crinoline caused her dress to go against the bars of the grate, and catch fire, and she was at once enve loped in flames. Assistance was soon procured, and the fire was extinguished, but the deceased was too much burned to recover. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS.—It will be re membered that a short iime back a young man, named George Inkpen, was convicted of the murder of his sweet heart by drowning her in the Surrey Canal, the intention of the parties having, no doubt, been to destroy themselves bp suicide. The prisoner has been respited during her Ma jesty's pleasure.—The prisoner William Malony, who was convicted of the murder of his wife in Westminster, and Richard Reeve, the boy who killed his sister in Drury court, also remain in Newgate, awaiting the decision of the Government as to what will be their fate, both having been respited during her Majesty's pleasure. EXTENSIVE FlRES.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fire, attended with serious loss of property, took place on the premises belonging to Mr. Hayhoe, a draper and hosier, carrying on business at 113, Long-alley, Bishopsgate-street. The flames were not extinguished until Mr. Hayhoe's premises and their contents were en tirely consumed. The premises of Mr. Pyne, a brazier and tinman, have received also a considerable damage by fire, water, and hasty removal. No. 26 in the same lane, belong to Mr. Haynes, a butcher; No. 27, Mr. Sayers, an ex tensive cabinet manufacturer; No. 28, Mr. Wilkinson butcher; and Mr. Edwards, No. 112, are also seriously burned, and the contents severely injured by water and re moval. The losses will fall upon the Sun, Phoenix, London and Liverpool, and other offices. Another fire happened on the premises of Messrs. Jay, mourning establishment, Nos. 109, 111, and 113, Regent-street, and did considerable damage. The usually busy neighbourhood of Houndsditch was yesterday the scene of great excitement among the members of the Hebrew persuasion, who transact a great amount of business on our Sabbath, owing to the breaking out of a firY, which raged for a considerable time, on the premises of Mr. George Nathan, wholesale clothier and contractor, situate at Nov. 153, in the above-named tho roughfare. The upper floors were nearly burned out, the roof partially destroyed, and considerable damage was done to the premises of Mr. P. Edwards, coffee-shop proprietor (No. 152) by fire, water, &c. EXTENSIVE SILK ROBBERY IN THE CITY.—On Saturday information was forwarded from the Bow-lane Station of the City police to the various stations in the me tropolis, of the perpetration of a daring and extensive rob. bery of silk goods from the warehouse of Mr. W. H. P Kayess, situate No. 23, Milk-street, Cheapside. The pre mises were left secured on Monday night, and on the Tuesday morning, when the persons engaged went to the warehouse they found that the place had been broken into and preparations made for carrying off a large quantity of valuable goods ; but there is no doubt the thieves were dis turbed, and the only property taken was about 300 pieces of plain silk handkerchiefs, about 40 pieces of superior China silk handkerchiefs, and 10 pieces of ten different de I scriptions of handkerchiefs. Mr. Kayess has offered a reward of £5O. DESTRUCTION OF THE MAIN CHANNEL OF CHARLESTON HARBOUR.—A writer in the Morning Herald says :—The London organ of the Washington Government is attempting to mislead the British publ c as to the extent of the injury inflicted on the port of Charles. ton and the shipping interests of the world through the sinking of the " stone fleet." In its publication of yesterday it had even the effrontery to assert that the Confederate schooner West Indian, from Charleston, which arrived at Liverpool a few days ago, sailed out of the former port through the channel alleged to be obstructed and passed over the submerged whale ships. Allow me to contradict that mendacious statement. The West Indian being a small vessel of only 241 tons came out of Charleston, and ran the blockade through what is termed "the 11 foot chan- nol," which has not yet been obstructed by the Northern vandals. The "stone fleet," consisting of 16 whale ships (each containing an immense block, formed of masses of granite ingeniously cemented by means of concrete,) has been sunk in the narrowest part of the main ship channel, usually termed the " Cotton-ship Channel," the depth of which was from 16 to 18 feet. Everyone conversant with the cotton trade knows that the " cotton ships" draw up wards of 11 feet of water—and the channel through which the West Indian contrived to run the blockade cannot be used by them. In conclusion, I submit, that it is the duty of England and France to interfere forthwith, since their remonstrances and protests are unavailing, and to remove themselves the " stone fleet." With the aid of powerful tugs this may be accomplished at present, but it will be- come a Herculean task if by delay the submerged whale ehips should be allowed to become imbedded or to breakup. A DRAGOON " COMING IN" FOR A FORTUNE.— A private, named Thomas Nelson, alias Biddy, hitherto attached to ono of the troops of the fitu Dragoon Guards, now stationed at Norwich, is said to have become the pos sessor of a fortune of £70,000, besides a fine estate near Liverpool, of the value of £9,000 per annum. It is possible there may be sonic exaggeration as to the amounts, but the lucky fellow has purchased his discharge from the service, and left Norwich for the purpose of inspecting his pro perty; after doing which he proposes to travel on the con tinent. It is added that nouveau riche acquired the pro perty through his grandfather, who had adopted the name of Biddy, by which name Nelson was generally known =wag his comrades. LATEST NEWS. NAPLES, JAN. 24 (Evening). The band of brigands which infested the environs of Gargano has been dispersed. Twenty-four of the brigands were killed. The municipality and national guard of Torre del Greco have protested in writing against the accep tance of any succour from Francis 11. for the suf ferers by the eruption, as such succour, states the protest, would come from hand 2 dripping with the blood of Italian citizens. BERNE, JAN. 25, It is stated that the Conference for arranging the separation of the bishopric of Ticino from the Lom bard bishoprics will not take place, because the Italian Government is so much occupied with other matters. MOSTAR, lAN. 24 (Evening, The insurgents have categorically rejected the amnesty offered to them by Omar Pasha, in conse quence of which Dervisch Pasha, with 11 battalions and all the irregular troops, have left Trebigne to keep open the road from Ragusa for the supply of provisions. Dervisch Pasha also intends energetically attack ing Zubzi, which, it is reported, is being evacuated by the insurgents. . RAGUSA, SAN. 25. Dervisch Pasha, having arrived with his forces before Polizza, the insurgents withdrew from that place without offering any resistance. Before leav ing they set fire to the houses, some of which were, however, saved by the Trukish troops. Luke Vukalovich, the principal chief of the in surgents, is said to be on bad terms with the Prince of Montenegro. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 26, The Gazette of the Senate publishes an imperial decree, according to which all Jews having obtained a medical or other diploma from one of the univer sities of the empire will be eligible for employment in any branch of the public service.

Jews who are attached to the Ministery in the quality of professors, inspectors of schools, or schoolmasters, are exempted from taxation, and may receive decorations. VIENNA, JAN. 26, The current report that Austria intends to de mand the disarmament of Shrdinia is unfounded, DENMARK. OPENING OF THE DANISH RIGSRAAD THE ROYAL SPEECH. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 25 (Evening The Rigsraad was opened to-day by the President of the Council, who read the King's Speech. In this the King says : "When in 1858 the common Constitution was withdrawn from Holstein and Lauenburg, we ex pressed a hope that the connection with the Duchies might soon be restored. We failed, however, to effect this on account of the resistance of the Es tates of Holstein and of the Federal Diet, which claimed a greater independence for the German portions of the monarchy than their special Con stitutions would allow. The negotiations in refe rence to the constitutional affairs of Holstein are still pending. The interest which foreign Powers have in the maintenance of the independence of Denmark inspires the hope of a satisfactory solu tion of that question. We are determined to give Schleswig a free development, and especially to grant it Provincial Estates, to be established on a popular basis. This is only carrying out the prin ciples which we have always kept in view. We shall be able to execute our intentions in regard to Schleswig without endangering the State as soon as the issue of the conflict with the Federal Diet shall have insured Schleswig against foreign inter vention. But these difficulties must no longer pre vent ameliorations being effected in the Constitu tion of the monarchy and in general legislation. On these points certain proposals will be made to you. Proposals will also be more especially pre sented to you respecting reforms in the tariff. The credits voted this year by the Rigsraad for the cur rent year are to be exclusively contributed by the kingdom and by Schleswig." The King says in conclusion : "I rely upon the industry of the Regsraad, and trust that it will support me in maintaining the honour and independence of the country and the progressive welfare of the people." The Rigsraad afterwards elected M, Madvig as president. FRANCE. PARIS, JAL 26. The 2loniteur of this morning announces that the bill for the optional conversion of 41 per Cent. into 3 per Cent. Stock has been submitted to the Council of State, and that the obligations trentennaires are included in the scheme of conversion. The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram from Cadiz, dated the 25th inst., containing news from Vera Cruz to the 26th December, according to which General Gassett was collecting the custom duties for the benfit of the three Powers. General Serrano had given a splendid reception to the admiral of the Admiral of the French squad ron and General Prim on their arrival at Havana. General Prim and the French admiral were to leave Havana for Vera Crux on Jan. 3. It was rumoured that the Mexican Government would propose a conciliatory arrangement. The Mexican Chambers were closed, and the President had been left with authority to take any extraordinary measures which might be necessary. The Constitutionnel states that General Almonte, a Mexican, is now in Belgium conducting negotia tions for placing the Archdude Maximilian on the throne of Mexico. " General Almonte," adds the Constitutionnel, " will accompany the French evedition to Mexico." The receipts of the Paris and Orleans Railway Company, for the week ending the 14th January, amount to 1,067,714 f. 09c., being a decrease of 154,932 f. 29c. as compared with the corresponding week of last year. The receipts from the Ist to the 14th January amount to 2,115,879 f. 47c., being a diminution of 234,694 f. 47c. as compared with the corresponding period of the year 1861. The weather continues exceedingly mild at Paris, with slight falls of rain. The following, according to the bulletin of the Observatory, was the tempe rature at 8 o'clock yesterday morning :—Above zero—Paris, 2 deg. (35,75 F.), and about the same all over France; Brussels, 5.2ds C. (41.75 F.) ; Madrid, 4 8-10ths C. (39.75 F.). Below zero — Vienna, 4 2-10ths C. (24.25 F.) ; Sr. Petersburg, 7 6-10ths C. (18,50 F.); Moscow, 15.5ths C. (4.25 F.); Stockholm, 2 C. (28.25 F.) It is satisfactory to find that, emulating the ope rations of the National Lifeboat Institutions of England, some of the maritime nations of the con tinent are making vigorous exertions to establish lifeboats on their shores. The Spanish Govern ment has recently had seven lifeboats built in Eng land for its coast, and others are in course of con struction for that country. Lifeboat stations are in creasing on the shores of the Baltic. The Italian Government is erecting new lighthouses, and life boat stations must, of course, iollow. The system of lighthouses on the French coast is an admirable one, but it is to be regretted that it continues to be unprovided with sufficient lifeboats. Within the last two years the boats of the National Lifeboat Institution have saved 500 lives from shipwreck on the coasts of the United Kingdom. Many of the persons shipwrecked were foreigners. Altogether naarly 13,000 shipwrecked persons have been saved by the Society's lifeboats, open boats, and other means since.the first establishment of the Institu tion, for saving whom it has granted £15,250 as rewards. It has also expended nearly £60,000 in lifeboat establishments. The whole of this large amount has been liberally subscribed by the British public, and there is good reason for hoping that the philanthropic efforts of the Lifeboat Institution will be long continued by similar generosity.

Mr. Cameron, Secretary for War, has resigned, and will be replaced by Mr. A. M. Staunton. Mr. Cameron has been appointed Minister to Russia. Mr. Cassius M. Clay, the present Minister to the Russian Court, will return to America and take a command in the Federal army. General Burnside's expedition has sailed from Hampton Roads. An impression prevails in the South that it is destined for Norfolk. A motion to take up the Bill for the relief of the owners of the British ship Perthshire has been brought forward in the Senate. The New York journals express doubts concern ing the safety of the British ship Rinaldo, which was bound to Halifax but has not yet arrived there. Mr. Seward, in his Report on Consular Appoint ments, says : " The Government having ascertained that efforts were making to introduce arms into the Southern ports by shipping them from England to the West Indies and the British provinces, for reshipment to the South, salaried Consuls were appointed at Cardiff, Bristol, St. John's, and Prince Edward's Island. Malta, from its central position, mili tary occupation, and means of telegraphic com munication, has become an important Consulate, the Consul at that port often forwarding valuable information. Certain Canadian ports having be come ❑otorious as ports of arrival and departure of rebels for Europe, and the intercourse with the rebel States having been systematically carried on through Canada, paid Consuls have been appointed at Quebec and Gaspe Basin, who, in addition to their regular consular duties, act as confidential agents of the Government at those places," A schooner which has arrived at New York, from Nassau on the Ist inst., reports that the British steamer Conqueror had struck on a rock near Rum Cap. The captain was using every exertion to get her off. The steamer Bulldog had left Nassau to assist her. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. JAN. 14, EVENING. Money easy.

NEW YOR In Congress, during the making an appropriation to the English Exhibition, the following remarks : "I oppose this bill, as it is enough for us to have been humbugged, dishonoured, and disgraced by England." ~ JAN. 15, MORNING. discussion on the bill for to send American goods Mr. Owen Lovejoy made Mr. Kellog asked if it was the action of the British or the Federal Government that caused the disgrace. Mr. Owen Lovejoy said, in reply, he understood how it was that disgrace was all America could bear, and continued : " We marched up to sweating drops of blood, and yet we are asked to say we did i t c h eerfully, and that we appropriate money for Commissioners to appear at England's Exhibition. Having sub mitted to disgrace, the least we can do is to acknow ledge it, and stay at home until we can whip Eng land. I hate the surrender ! I hate the British Government ! I here avow and record that hate, and declare it inextinguishable. I cherish hate while living and bequeath it to my sons, whom charge, if there is war with England to enter the war I trust the rebellion will soon be suppressed. We can then avenge the insult we have received. We will then stir up Ireland. We will appeal to the English Chartists and to the French inhabi tants of Canada. We will join hands with France and Russia to take England's proud Eastern pos sessions, and we will take away the Crown from the English Government before we have ceased. I trust in God that time will come. I believe we should have been stronger for a war with England, for we should have felt the necessity of making short work of the rebels." The house tabled the Bill by a large majority. The Austrian correspondence on the Trent affair has been published. In this correspondence Count Rechberg considers that, according to the universal notions of International Law, England could not refrain from asking proper reparation for the insult offered to her flag. Count Rechberg trusts that the Federal Government will take up such a position as to preserve peace and avoid the grave disturbances which war would bring, not only upon the contend ing parties, but on the world generally. Mr. Seward replied that Austria would learn from the Federal correspondence with France and England on the Trent question that the Federal Government was not only incapable of seeking to disturb the peace of the world, but was just and friendly in its intercourse with all foreign nations. " Faithful to its traditions, and an advocate for the broadest application of the principles of Mari time International Law, the Federal Government will rejoice if the present occas i on is improved to obtain a revision of certain r i g h ts of the Law of Nations, rendering more certain th e r i g h ts and obligations of States in time of war." Mr. Seward states that the Federal Government appreciates very highly the frankness and cordiality practised by Austria for the welfare of the United States. It is reported that Mr. Cameron resigned at Pre sident Lincoln's suggestion. The Senate has not yet confirmed the appoint ment of Mr. Staunton to the vacant War Secretary ' ship, nor that of Mr. Cameron to the post of Minis ter to Russia. The Senate has passed the Bill for the relief of the owners of the British ship Perthshire. It is supposed that Congress will pass a Bill for the issue of 10 0,000,000 dols. in Treasury notes. General Garfield officially reports that he has routed the Confederates under Humphrey Marshall in Kentucky, and occupied Prestonsburg, The Arabia was intercepted off Cape Race on the night of the 14th inst. The British gunboat Medea has arrived at New York. THE MEXICAN INTERVENTION. NEW YORK, JAN. 15 (Morning). Advices have been received here from Havannah to the 7th inst.
