It has always been the lot of Prussia to incur the charge of insincerity, and, to a err Lain extent, to deserve it. Geographical position, early history, and the education of the people tend to make her halt between two opinions. In no country in Europe is there such a contrast between intention and action. Prince and people affect to be, and perhaps think that they are, the Liberals of Ger many, but this pretence and this fancy last only so long as the world is quiet and no crowned head in danger ; bat as soon as the assertion of Liberalism causes inconvenience to established, power the Prussian nature seems to undergo a change. The popular party is quiescent, and the retrograde party regains ascendancy. But even then the Calk and the Aemy seem unable to take a de cided part in favour of the cause they love. Prussia in t s u n n r w a ne l s l ankl theavfa vacillating, l e l r a l t i i n n flutters between two parties, like the bat in the battle between the birds and beasts. Then, na y,ga, rindignationepteadokafenbntoiatc theaisn a d r t o ye u vp s ee e n d of , and tar lel ae thhe thate. roux. Yet all this time the Prussians, singularly enough, think themselves models of conscientious ness and of diplomatic rectitude. They cannot conceive that they are contradictory, and conse quently suspected. They fancy that Europe is like their own State—an artificial system requir ing political quiet for its prosperity, and even for its existence. They fancy that their counsels will find an echo in every breast when they tell each Prince not to be too fond of despotism, an d each people not to be too fond of liberty. But this distorted image of English mode- I ration attracts no one. Henee, P russ i a preaches in vain ; hence she exercises an influence in Europe so small that only the know ledge that in the last resort her numbers would make her respectable causes her to be looked upon as a great European Power. Her people read and talk, and write and lecture, and discuss every sub ject with a thoroughness which would seem to pro mise a result ; yet all this profundity of examina tion ends in the most perfect impotence of conclu sion, and the Cabinet of Berlin, after receiving the influence of 50 Professors, hardly writes better than a Pope or acts more sensibly than a Bourbon King. The despatch of Baron Schleinitz to the Prussian Minister at Turin is just such as might be expected to emanate from a State which is at once Protestant and despotic—which must hold Poland by an un derstanding with Russia, and the Rhine province by an acquiescence in the principles of 'B9. The long, straggling, ill-defended kingdom, ambitious for extension, yet fearful of losing what it has — unwilling to give up its expectations from liberty, or to relinquish what it possesses from Divine right —appreciating the friendship of free England, but not forgetting the happy, orderly days of the Holy Alliance—naturally sees the conduct of Victor Em manuel in a very ambiguous light. Not that Prus sia condemns him absolutely, or supports his rival absolutely. She does nothing absolutely. " Black is not black, nor white so very white." Baron Schleinitz can count the shades in the new-fallen snow, and sees an infinity of hues in the raven's' wing. He does not deny the right of Sardinia to do something in the present state of Italy ; he only objects to her doing that which she has done, and which all Italy calls upon her to do. He recognizes the right of a people to nationality and unity—he objects that they should takethe only steps in their power to obtain them. All revolutions, according to him, must be made with rosewater ; all overthrows of legal tyranny must be effected by strictly legal forms. If bad Kings can be put aside entirely by their own consent; if separate States can be united without sacrificing any one of the various Governments ; if populations worried by priests, spies, and Algerino generals can deliver themselves without trenching on any privileges of their tormentors—then well and good; no State will applaud the consummation more earnestly than Prussia. But that any Chan cery in Europe should have its forms violated in. order to achieve these ends is what the enlightened statesmen of Berlin cannot sanction. It is incon sistent with their principles that an effect should be produced by a sufficient cause. The Prussian Note alludes to the march of events, and states that the Cabinet of the Prince Regent could no longer continue a silence which might give rise to lamentable misconstructions and throw a false light on its real sentiments. The Note itself is an answer to the Sardinian Memorandum of the 12th of September, announcing the inter ference of Victor Emmanuel in the Papal States. It is dated Coblentz, October 12,—just one month. after the document which has called it forth was despatched from Turin, and after the Prince Regent had had interviews with the English Royal Pair and with Lord John Russell. It is, therefore, the deliberate expression of the policy of Berlin, settled after learning from personal discussion the views of the English Court and Cabinet. In spite of the rapidity of passing events Baron Schleinitz was in no hurry to communicate with Turin. Although the Prussian representative in that city is charged with the affairs of Austria during the rupture of the latter's relations with Sardinia, yet Count Brassier de St. Simon was left a whole month without information of his Cabinet'si views. Yet during this time the most important events were occurring. The Papal States were invaded, tie battle of Castelfidardo was fought; Ancona was taken, all the country up to within a few miles of Rome was occupied; troops were sent into the Neapolitan territory, and took part with the Gari baldians in the most important action of the war. We must, then4resume that tie Notenow written. has been the subject of the most serious reflection, land represents a great concenti'ation of statesman ship. And yet no one wouldsheve , believed it, for it is infirm in argument and purpose to a surpris ing degree. Baron Schleinitz professes to explain, without reserve, the view taken by Prussia of the last acts of Victor Emmanuel, and the principles developed in the Sardinian Memorandum. He justly ob serves that all the arguments of that document uphold the principle of the absolute right of' nationalities. The Prussian Minister "is far from wishing to dispute the great value of the national idea." Candidly enough, he owns—though the con fession will hardly be palatable to the minor. Princes—that " it is essentially the openly avet vea moving power of our policy, which, in Germany, will always aim at the development and thet a re nd. union of the national Powers in a more effi th ei e differ powerful organisation." What, then s Sardinia in, ence between Prussia in Germany n_ a former's view, Italy ? It is that, according to the and by re " it is only in the legal way of ref t u e lar Government specting existing rights that legitimate wishes of the is permitted to realise the g people." The idea that every thi ng twhenever public should yield to. the national wishes , and t hat opinion should have pronou nced in favour of th ose . wishes the existing authorities ought abdicatet their power, i s looked upon by Prussia as raja stain this maxim the road of heresy. " Tose for thatofrevolution:" re form is abandoned ar e the max ims of Prussian statesmanship, an d we must be e xcused for asserting that they involve a contradiction, of principles which must deprive the v i e ws of the Regent's Cabinet of all influence in this matter. A diplomatic note its not iwr tten to enforce abstract notions of morality. Count Cavour sent memorandum When to Berlin he did not seek- advice from a professor of casuistry. He e p wished merely to l earn the Prince Regent's opi nions respecting a particular juncture of European. affairs. The question how far resistance to esta blished government is defensible has been debated from time immemorial ; there will always be a school inclining to Film'., and a school inclining to Algernon Sidney, t jus as some lawsgive to indi viduals greater Y ' . liberty of self-defence than others. Baron Schleinitz contents himself with saying that liberty ought to be struggled for and Govern, ments ought to be upheld ; and, having enunciated this platitude he at once proceeds to reprimand the King of Sardinia for fulfilling one duty at the ex pense of the other. But this vacillation will gain no friend. We must call on 'Prussia to take her side either with the defenders or the opponents of Italian nationality. In this demand we feel sure that Austria herself will join us. Wrapping him self in the midst of abstract morality, BarniF Schleinitz leaves it doubtful whether the Regent's Government will give assistance or not to Austen', should she be resolved to enter the field. ugatnst Victor Emmanuel ; he leaves it doubtfu) wbether. the annexation of Central and Southern. Italy will be recognised; whether the views of F ng land will be supported in any Congress of the 'Great Powers; whether, in short,,the action of tise Prussian Court e will be favourable or adverse t° .'Malian an ln n i dance.

A meeting of the merchants and shipowners of this city was held last evening in a room in the Mercantile Library Building, for the purpose of giving an opportunity to Mr. William S. Lindsay, member of the British Parliament, to explain the views which he came to this country to repre sent, in reference to such a change in the navigation Jaws as would make the coasting trade of this continent free to the ships of all nations. There were over a hundred gentlemen present, repre senting a large Ave of the commercial wealth of this me tropolis. Mr. PRIETIAII PERIT introduced Mr. - Lindsay, stating that this special meeting was called to give him an opportu nity of explaining his views on many important subjects connected with the interests of shipping and of commerce. Mr. LINDSAY expressed thanks for the opportunity given him to express • his views in reference to various maritime questions in which the shipowners and merchants, and people, Of both England and America, were deeply inte rested. As so many reports had been circulated in regard to his visit, he thought it right to say a few words personal to himself. It had been stated—and perhaps believed in some quarters—that he visited this country in an official capacity, as a kind of ambassador, or perhaps special envoy of the British Government. He wished to disabuse their minds of such an idea. His visit was, he might say, one of pleasure. For many years, as many of those present were aware, he had had large connections in America. He had a great many kind and warm friends in Various parts of the United States, and he had long promised himself the pleasure of a visit te this great country. Up to the present time, however, his many avocations had prevented him fulfilling that pro mise. Lord J. Russell (said he), when he heard that I was about to visit this country, was good enough to ask me, in my intercourse with merchants and shipowners in the States, to have some conversation with them in regard to commercial questions which the Government of both countries were very anxious to settle. Being largely connected with Bri tish shipping, and being also much interested in these ques tions, I readily consented to do what I possibly could to pave the way for the settlement of these various questions. His lordship was good enough to furnish me with the cor respondence which had passed= the subject, so as to make me familiar with the question, and also to write Lord Lyons to afford me facilities. That is the only connection that I had with the British Government. His lordship knew that for many years past I have, in the House of Commons, de voted my attention almost exclusively to these great mari time questions, and he also knew that for the last two or three sessions of Parliament both branches of the house had popular views in regard to these questions. There were some remarks made about him, he said, which he should not I pass over lest they might injure the great and good cause which he had voluntarily undertaken. It was said that he was not at all competent for such a task because he was a self-taught and self-made man; but he felt that his being self-made and self-taught would not make him the less ac ceptable to the American people. (Applause.) It was also said that he had not sufficient knowledge to deal with these questions. Well, Mr. President and gentlemen, said he, I am ignorant about many things, and the longer I live the more ignorant I feel myself to be ; and in coming among you I desired more to gain knowledge than to attempt to impart information. But if lam ignorant on general ques tions, I ought to be familiar with the questions on which I am about to address you this evening, because I have been from my boyhood connected with maritime affairs, and since I have been a member of Parliament, now many years, I have devoted myself almost exclusively to the understanding of these questions. It was said that perhaps I was not compe tent to deal with the delicate questions of diplomacy. Well, gentlemen, however eager I may be to obtain knowledge, there is one kind of knowledge which I do not desire to ob tain, and that is the knowledge of diplomacy as taught in too many Courts of Europe. I think it would be well for mankind, and well for the nations, if there were less of that intricate diplomacy, and more of honest, straightforward dealing between men and nations. (Applause.) I think I can best attain the object that I have in view by speaking to you as a plain man .of business, addressing plain men of business in a great business city, and frankly pointing out what I conceive to be wrong in your laws, and as frankly pointing out what I conceive to be wrong in our own laws. That appears to me to be the height of all dip lomacy, which, to use a homely phrase, is prepared to give and take, and to do justice to all men. (Applause.) I think it hardly worth while to notice the remarks of a cer tain body of men, known as the Shipowners' Society of London. These associations in England are very different from thosehere—from your Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade, which represent great commercial and maritime interests, and have great weight with the Federal Govern ment. Too many of our associations in England are small political factions, got together ostensibly for the purpose of promoting the interests of particular branches of trade, but too often they ride hobbies of their own on some political dogmas. Such is the fact in the face of the so-called Lon don Shipowners' Society. This society met together in solemn conclave in the attic in which they usually assemble and passed a resolution declaring that they had no confi dence in me. The resolution pleased them, I dare say, and I do not think it injured me; but I shall call attention to it, simply because it may have reached some parts of this country, and some gentlemen here might be disposed te at tach too great weight to it. I assure you that the gentlemen who passed that resolution have no influence whatever in the Parliament of England. With these preliminary remarks allow me to state to you the objects which I have in view in meeting you this evening. I will speak first with reference to the liability of shipowners, because that, perhaps, is one of the most important questions, and one which I think is not sufficiently well understood. Ido not think that it is sufficiently known how the shipowners of both countries stand with regard to each other on this question. In fact, as to the law of England, any shipowner there—and indeed I might almost say the same of the shipowner of this or any other country—however wealthy he might be, -might rise any morning and find himself a ruined man. That is a serious thing to consider. Now the law of Eng land with regard to the responsibilities of shipowners limits the responsibility of t he owners to the value of the ship and freight. In most of the other countries of Europe, also, the responsibility of the shipowner is limited to that extent. This is also the law in this country—that is to say, it is so in this country so far as I understand the law. Speaking to American gentlemen, of course, I speak under correction; but so far as 1 understand the law of your country, your responsibility. in cases of collision, is limited to the value of the ship and freight. That is to say, if one of your ships runs down another ship at sea, and you pay into your courts the value of the ship and freight, your responsibility cannot be carried beyond the value. That is all very well, so far as the laws of the respective countries stand. But if my ship runs down an American ship, and my ship enters any of your ports, I am made responsible, not merely in your courts for the value of the ship and freight, but I am made responsible exactly for whatever amount of damage may have been sustained through the collision brought about by my ship. So, therefore, if my ship runs down a vessel with cargo and freight on board to the extent of £200,000 ster ling, I would be responsible for the whole. If your ships at sea run down any other American ship, or run down a British ship, and it be brought into our courts, you are also responsible in our courts for the full amount of the damage which your ship caused.' Now, this arises from the fact that our laws have jurisdiction only over British ships, and that your laws have jurisdiction only over Ame rican ships. Now, considering The vast trade which is car ried on between the two countries, I think, and I hope you will agree with me, that it is most desirable, more particu larly as the Legislatures of either country have specified that, the shipowners responsibility shall be limited—l think there ought to be a convention between the two coun tries, who should decide on some principle which would be common to both countries. We will require to alter our rules, or rather it will not do for us to have two laws with reference to the rule of the road at sea. Your rule in America is much the same as the old maritime rule of the road, with some slight modifications. Indeed, with some slight modifi cations added, it would be desirable for England to adopt the rule of the road that is now in use with American vessels. I will not now enter into the details which otight to go to make sucha rule. What I desire is, that you should go with me in endeavouring to bring about the opinion amongst shipowners that there should be but one rule for the guidance of marl • ners in America and England. Now, with reference to the use of lights at sea. In 1858 we, in accordance with a law then passed, adopted a system of single lights at sea which I need not minutely describe; but that system of lights was considered so good that all the nations I believe have now adopted it. • You in America have adopted that systein so far as steamers are concerned, and your shipowners have also adopted it. But it is not compulsory by your laws for your shipowners in all cases to carry lights. Now lam of opinion that it would be desirable.that the law of America on this point should be made similar to that of England with reference to the lights to be carried at sea ; that Ame rican and English ships should carry the same lights; and that your shipowners should be compelled to carry these lights in the same way as English sl4powners were com pelled to c arry them ; if we had the same rule of the road, and established the same system of lights, th n e o r t e th w a o t u m ld an b y e place,l e greatbu t, c s o u n r s p i dr surprise tome t h e is, no rmous collisionsinter less collisions. took course between the two countries, and the vast numbs' . of vessels which pass through the St. George and the English Channels, I must say I am much surprised that many more co llisions do not take plac e ; and this is a matter which speaks well for the masters of American and Englißh ships, and the great caution theyraust exercise to avoid collisions. These come under the head of liabilities, to which I shall call your serious attention. There are other points of the subject to which I desire to call your attentiou, and tip on chase. 82d Foot—Captain Frederick Richard Soly Flood, from half-pay Unattached, to be Captain, vice Brevet-Major Wm.

With these remarks I thank you come and be registered in the British Custom-house as a warmly for the kind attention you have given me. (Ap- plause.) Mr. CHARLES A. DAVIS suggested that Mr. Lindsay might be in error in regard to the trade between New York and San Francisco. His idea was that a foreign ship could go from here to Aspinwall, send goods across the Isthmus, and transport them front Panama to San Francisco, without violating our laws. Mr. LINDSAY, in support of his original position, referred to the opinion of the Attorney-General *he United States, that a foreign ship could not load cargo from an Eastern port for San Francisco via Panama. Mr. T tromls TILESTON moved the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Lindsay for the able manner in. which he had spread the facts before them. The motion was carried unanimously. British-built ship. Here is an advantage to British ship owners. We can register the ships of any nation. This is a great advantage to us, because we have bought American ships which are of a particular construction, and which we might not have been able to build in our country. The American law says, " Now, Mr. A., you may invest your money in an American ship, but not in the ships of any other nation." To pass a prohibitory law like this is rather too great a stretch. I think, it least, you might be allowed to purchase whatever ships you please, and where you pleased, and that you ought not to be prohibited from do ing what you please with your capital. This, however, is altogether a matter for your own consideration, and it is for you to consider whether or not you are losers by this law of prohibition. The next question is a wider question —and it is the coasting trade. In 1850 we opened our ports to your shipping, and in 1854 we opened our coasting trade, se that since those dates your ships can enter all our ports in India, Canada, and other provinces, on. the very same terms as British ships. Now, a great adhering principle of your statesmen (and you have had some of the greatest statesmen the world ever saw) was reciprocity, and they were willing to give to other nations what other nations gare to them. We gave to you the coasting trade. It is not of much importance, you may say, to have the coasting trade of the small islands of Great Britain and Ireland ; but then we gave you the , trade of India, Canada, and Australia as well, and which you will admit is most im portant to you. Now, Mr. President, while we did so, you still exclude us from your coasting trade ; you still call the trade between New York and California the coasting trade,- and you go even farther, and say the trade to Panama and across the isthmus, through a foreign country, is a coast ing trade. I speak to a body of wise men, Now, I ask you, in all justice, is it fair to call these trades a coasting trade ? It would be as fair to call the trade between England and Calcutta a coasting trade as to call the California a coasting trade, whatever it be on the grounds of national, law and technicalities. Now to be frank I must tell you that a large number of influential men in Eagland, both in Parliament and out of it, feel very keenly about that question, and wonder to think that you should call that vast trade with California a coasting trade. By the repeal of the Act of 1849 a clause was maintained in that act which gave the Queen the power to exclude the ships of non-reciprocating nations from British ports. The Parliament have the power to put that clause in force. Ido not think the clause will be enforced, but if it should, see what an injury it would be to your•eommerce. If the opposition to the Liberal party got into power I do not know but they may have it enforced, and they are very likely to be in power before long. It is true they might not be able to keep it in force more than a year, but see what injury might be done to your shipping in that year. Suppose the order came that no American ships in the ports of India, Canada, or Australia Were to load any more cargo in those ports, see how many thou sand tons of freight you would have lacked up. , Of course it would enhance the prices to coneamers of those freights and raise the prices of freights in British vessels. Now I would, to avoid the possibility of such an event, ask you to aid me by making some concessions in your coasting trade. I do not think any foreign nation can compete successfully with you for the trade along your own shores. Every na tion can conduct its own coasting trade to the best advan tage. England has got Swedes and Norwegians to com pete with her for the coasting trade which she has opened ; but they have not done it, and they cannot do it, unless they remove themselves and their families to our shores. And before you could compote with us in the coasting trade you would be obliged to come and live near the . trade ; and before we could compete successfully with you we would have to come and live here. But when I see your beautiful clippers of I,ooo' and 2,000 tons, and your fine Baltimore clippers of 200 and 500 tons, all thene gaged in what your laws term the coasting t r ade, to e u e d exclusion of all chance•of competition, the your frankly y principles to adm it that a t reciprocity,yo u have s e o g l a e h c l t y e d a d o to to great statesmen.

On Saturday afternoon Mr. Harding held an in quest at the Saracen's Head Hotel, Hanley, on the body of Adelaide Marlow, 27 years of age, who had committed suicide by taking oxalic acid the previous day. The deceased, a fine young woman, occupied a respectable position in life, and was very highly respected by a large circle of friends and acquain tances. She resided with her mother at Etruria Vale, and carried on business as a dress maker. For some weeks she had been in a depressed state of mind, caused, it now turns out, by some unpleasant ness with her sweetheart, a respectable young man, named Steele, to whom she had been engaged for seven years. The engagement, it appears, was objectionable—though on what account has not transpired to Mr. Steele's friends, which had the effect of inducing him either to break off the match altogether or to slight the lady. Which ever it might have been, the fact preyed upon the mind of the deceased to an extent which there can be no doubt ultimately induced insanity, and while under its influence she committed the rash act. _On Friday morning she rose about eight o'clock and went into the parlour, when her mother pre sently heard her crying, and on going thither found her writing a letter, and appeared to be in great trouble. In reply to her mother she promised to come to her in the kitchen in a few minutes. Sh e was heard crying again shortly afterwards , mother went again to her, receiving the th s e am kitclie n as before. Presently she came into g ave to her with a letter in her hand, which aen reply p h l e y r mother, and then said " Oh, mother s l i nl e a tt e h .; er, i went to taken poison."

In respect to the allusions in this letter, from which the reader would incline to draw an inference unfavourable to the character of the deceased' s lover, according to the evidence given at the inquest, there seems to be no growl: for the strong expressions made use of by the deceased, in the sense in which they would natu rally be interpreted. A post-mortem examination of the body was made by Mr. Grosvenor, surgeon, who stated that it showed no symptoms of disease whatever, and he was of opinion that death was caused by oxalic acid. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. • The Convocation of the Prelate and Clergy of the Province of Canterbury was yes; erday prorogued in the Jerusalem Chamber, Westminster, by the Vicar-General, Dr: Travers Twiss, under a commission from his O r r.ca ths Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of An E o land. an and Metropolitan, pursuant to the Royal i vrit, unt ne6day, November 7, ~~ 1
