Had not the additional penny income-tax been already inflicted, the Bill would assuredly hare been lost. It is rather singular, as showing the state of patties, that the majority in its favour was exactly the same as that which passed the third reading of the Church-rates Abolition Bill. When the Conservatives think it worth while to muster strongly, especially should there be anything to damp the zeal of the Liberals, they can evidently run the Government very hard, and now that the fear of an early dissolution is re moved they may not unfrequently be disposed to do so. What the Lords will do with the Bill repealing the ecclesiastical tax. there can be little doubt. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH and a bench of Bishops will pay little regard to a majority of nine for abolishing a Church-tax. Aristocracy, super stition, interest, will all plead successfully with their lordships for its retention. But what will they do with Mr. GLADSTONE'S bill for abolishing an Ex cise tax? Mr. GLADSTONE, the Peelite, and a novas hwno, is, perhaps, in worse odour with their Lordships than Sir JOHN TRELAWNY, the Radical, and the representative of a very old aristocratic family. And, out of doors, few, indeed, are those who petition for the abolition of the paper duties compared with those who petition for the abolition of Church-rates. Lords, too, feel, as other people do, the unpleasantness of paying income tax ; all of them are not wealthy, and those who are so, do not prefer parting with their money to just the tax collector. The less of compulsory payment the more pleasant for us all. The indirect influences affecting, therefore, their Lordships are not exactly in favour of the bill. This being so, they will have no difficult case in regard to the merits of abolition of a tax at the pre sent time. Their hostile vote would not turn out the Ministry, it could not, therefore, be treated as a vote of no confidence, or even regarded as a party vote. It is said the trade would be paralysed, but we believe the majority of paper makers would prefer the retention of the tax in the face of the difficulties on the great rag question. We can hardly doubt that, if it were put to them, " do you wish for the repeal of the duty concurrently with the repeal of the customs duty on French paper ? " the answer would be, perhaps without exception, in the negative. 'We must think fairly so. We can but feel that while it is the interset of consumers, here, to get paper as cheap as they can, it i s h ar dly f a i r to our own manufacturers to take the article un conditionally from those who maintain against our makers a monopoly of the raw material. But when we come to the revenue part of the question, it is impossible to deny that the case for retention is strong, If the tax be abolished now it will cause for this year a loss of one million ster ling at least. Now, the small surplus which Mr. GLADSTONE had left, of £400,000, is already more than swallowed ))y supplementary estimates, and withdrawal of duties proposed at first in the bud get. It is confess, id also that 1861 is to demand of us the filling up o.f,an enormous deficit—not less, it is computed, than £10,000,000 or £12,000,000 ! The Lords may possibly, therefore, think that this is a case in which they would be authorised in staying, what they will affirm to be a considerable sacrifice of the sources of income ; and that when the early demand for the sum surrendered, and for much more than this, is quite certain. They will strongly feel also the reluctance, so natural for their class, to aid in bringing all taxation as much as possible on property. To them the repeal of duties on articles of consumption, and the certainty of all fresh taxation being levied on income or on property cannot be pleasant. They foresee that we shall have to pay incalculable sums to maintain a navy and to erect fortifications sufficient to secure us against the capricious ambition of our great military neighbour; and, it is by no - I, means an agreeable prospect for them that henceforth it will be impossible to lay taxes on new articles of commerce, or even to augment those which are still left. They may not be un willing to bear their last testimony against a sys tem of taxation they so thoroughly detest. We have felt hitherto we confess some delicacy in writing on the subject, since we might so easily be suspected of having personal objects in view. We have therefore confined ourselves to the diffe rent views which have been dealt with in the late discussions upon it, and we must own that they are seriously perplexing. We hate Excise duties, as all Englishmen since the days of WALPOLE are bound to do. We hate interference with trade, and therefore question whether the interference of the Excise with paper manufacture can be compared, in point of annoyance, with that of Mr. ;GLADSTONE'S compensating 'petty charges on parcels, agreements, and the like. We are thorough free traders, but when the alternative is to inflict a stamp tax upon every movement and document in a warehouse, or to get rid of the supervision of the exciseman in one manu facture, we hardly know which way to decide. When we add that even if the paper manufacturer gave us the whole benefit of the repealed duty, it would then amount to only one-third of a farthing on each copy of The Sun— but, that already paper has begun to rise--it is ob vious that our concern, and that of our readears in the alteration must be almost infinitesimally small. It is indeed singular, yet on reflection not very dif ficult to account for, that the repeal of a duty often raises the price of an article to what it was with the duty upon it. Our housekeepers tell us that they are already paying more for all those articles of grocery, on which the duty is just abolished. The event, therefore, alone can tell us what will be the result in regard to paper. A new interest is suddenly awakened in the cause of Italy. Another fragment of intelligence is brought to us full of stirring import. It bears tidings in its every syllable that will thrill almost as rapidly from the Lagunes of Venice to the Straits of Messina, from the eastward slope of the mountain borders of Savoy to the southernmost valleys of the Abruzzi—almost as rapidly, we say —quite as magically, as the news comes thrilling to us across Europe and under the waters of the British Channel through the wires of the electric telegraph. GARIBALDI has eluded the vigilance of the offi cials of the Sardinian Government, and is off (by sea) to Sicily, there to place himself (if he can but land) at the head of the insurgents. It is scarcely possible, in our hearts and consciences, not to have some lingering doubt as to the genuine earnestness of the opposition affected towards this movement of GARIBALDI by a Government ministerially presided over by Count CAVOUR, and owning allegiance to King VICTOR EMMANUEL. The emissaries of the Sardinian Sovereign, we cannot but conjecture, have aeted in this matter with a little more "dis cretion" than those agents (at Tortosa) of Queen ISABELLA, who are said to have temporarily embar rassed her Most Catholic Majesty's councils by their officious capture of the Conde de MONTEMOLIN and his brother Don FERDINAND. Don't we all remem ber that true Talleyrandist maxim to your ingenu ous sucking diplomatist—Pas de zele. They are said to have lacked this the highest gift of all to a Government official, those over-eager Spanish police or Bens-darmes: who were (it is true) told to seize, if possible, upon the Carlist Princes, but who ought (it is said) to have rather connived at their escape with, it may be, a subsequent " show" ;of indignation! Not thus blunderingly overzealous have been the Genoese officials set to watch GARIBALDI'S movements—to dog his foot steps and prevent his embarking on his Sicilian axpedition —in the name of the Sardinian Govern ment. Quoth the semi-official Patric of last evening, in announcing GARIBALDI'S departure during the night between the sth and 6th instant: " The Piedmontese Government had ordered all arms and ammunition which had been deposited at Quarto, near Genoa, to be seized, and had also given orders for the port of Genoa to be watched." Yes—" given orders"— no doubt of it ; but orders not for one moment seriously intended to be obeyed ! And so this " Quarto" edition of the Book of Fate for Italy is fairly opened. And we shall doubtless soon learn now in what manner General GARIBALDI is bent upon turning over a new leaf. " The expeditionary vessel which had taken her papers for Malta, had put out to sea two days previously :" adds the Patrie—which thereupon thus completes the story of these admirably preconcerted arrangements, " General GARIBALDI joined the vessel immediately afterwards, which instead of proceeding to Malta went to Sicily." It is amusing to read on : " The Piedmonteso Govern- meat made every possible protest against this act of General GARIBALDI." So did H. R. H. the Duke of CLARENCE, as Lord High Admiral of England when writing his famous official despatch to Admiral CODRINGTON. But the sailor Royal Highness took good care to add to that despatch the pithy pencilled postcript of " Go it NED !" And thence, in some measure, the glorious victory of Navarino. A victory gained like two of NELSON'S great achievements contrary to orders, namely, St. Vincent (that got the man Sir HORATIO disobeyed an earldom) and Copenhagen, preceded by that signal of recal from the flagship in the offing, that made Lord NELSON swear, as he put his glass to his blind eye, " I'm d-d if I can see it." GARIBALDI seems to have gone off with a similar expletive. And as the ex peditionary vessel, chartered for Malta, but really bound for Sicily, fades out of sight from the Bay of Genoa, we might almost hear wafted after him a bidding like that we have but just now quoted, as pencilled by WILLIAM IV. to Sir EDWARD CODE INGTON. Farther news as to GARIBALDI'S movements Sicily-wards comes to us through the °pint'lne Nationale. It is thus significant :—" The different vessels belonging to General GARIBALDI's expedi tion will wait off the island of Capraji." They will thence proceed, we are given to understand, to their warlike destination. Although they are yet but in transitu, as when NAPOLEON BONAPARTE set sail for Frejus, and again fifteen years afterwards p§. lUNIi , for Cannes—we may now, as our fathers might then have said- : —Alea jacta est. Whether it will or will not hit the mark is wholly another ques tion. Time will speedily pronounce. We can only wait and hearken for the next intelli gence. Certain while we are doing so that the Neapolitan officials and their subordinates along the coast of Sicily will watch more ..vigilantly as to GARIBALDI'S movements than the emissaries o f the Piedmontese Government. It is not a trifle, however, that will make a man like GARIBALDI retrace his footsteps. So that the Neapolitans may pretty confidently look out for squalls, now that the most daring soldier of Italy and his comrades are " on the sea," like the French sung of, in the Celtic ballad, by the Shan-van-Waugh ? So conscious are the Neapolitans themselves of the imminence of this juncture that we find General BALZANO de manding upon the instant a reinforcement of fiv e thousand men in consequence of the threatening expedition under GARIBALDI now looming from the direction of Genoa in aid of the Sicilian incur_ gents. In the meanwhile, as if to complicate still fur ther the already, we might fancy sufficiently, en tangled thread of the destinies of the Italian penin sula—while VICTOR EMMANUEL'S Government is yet declaring for, what it has so long declared itself in favour of, viz., Italian Emancipation, at the very moment that its agents are striving (to all sip : pearances) to retard, if not absolutely to prevent GARIBALDI'S expedition in aid of the Sicilian in surgents—what is the last phase in the tortuous policy pursued all along towards Italy and the Italians by that wily Prince across the Channel, who is assuredly the very incarnation of the master treatise of MACHIAVELLI ? Why, actually the French EMPEROR and his Government, after strengthening the hands of King VICTOR EMMANUEL, to accept from himself (NAPOLEON III.) as a gift the fair and beautiful plains of Lom bardy, and to seize afterwards:in succession Parma, and Modena, and Tuscany, and Bologna, and the whole of the Romagna—has now wonderful to tell presented a couple of rifle cannon and a large quantity of ammunition to the Papal Army, under General DE LAMORICIERE! " A house divided against itself"—we know the rest of the holy dictum. Between two stools—but the proverb's some what musty. We can onlywatch the course of these events, and marvel as to the time of the on-coming of the catastrophe. SHAKSPERE, who has words apropos to almost everything—has described in a memorable phrase the doom of ",vaulting ambition." We only look for the next leap in the dark—(the last one landed in Savoy)—watching curiously and quite confidently as to the result of . the final sum mersault. HER 211Af.ESTrs FRIGATE BURY ALUS. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY, 10 A.M. Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Euryalus, 51, Capt. Tarleton, is now leaving the Sound, under canvass, for Madeira and the Cape of Good Hope. Wind S.W. ; moderate. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louise, visited the Society of Arts in John street, Adelphi, yesterday afternoon. In attendance were the Duchess of Atholl, Hon. Beatrice Byng, Lord Charles Fitzroy, and Lieutenant. Colonel Ponsonby. The Queen and Prince Consort afterwards took a carriage drive, His Royal Highness the Prince Consort rode on horseback, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Ponsonby, and visited the National Portrait Gallery in Great George-street. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort honoured the per formance at the Princess's Theatre with their presence last evening. The Royal suite consisted of the Duchess of Atholl, Hon. Beatrice Byng, Hon. Emily Cathcart, Lord Methuen, Lord Charles Fitzroy, and Lieutenant-Colonel Ponsonby. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Alice, Helena, and Louise, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington, Major•- General Sir Henry Bentinck, and Colonel Francis Sey mour, C. 8., honoured the Royal Italian Opera, Covent garden, with their presence last evening. Messrs. Thomas Agnew and Sons had the honour of sub mitting to her Majesty the picture, by Mr. Barker, of the Relief of Lucknow, and the meeting of Generals Havelock, Outram, and Sir Colonel Campbell. The Duchess of Atholl has succeeded Viscountess Joe. • lyn as the Lady in Waiting to the Queen. We are requested to state that the British Commissioners for the negotiations of the French Tariff have their office at No. 82, Rue do L'Universite, Paris. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street. It was attended by Viscount Palmer ston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Sir George C. Lewis, Lord John Russell, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. Sydney Herbert, Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, Sir George Grey, the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, and the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell. SOCIETY OF ARTS.—Her Majesty the Queen - and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Alice and other members of the royal family, yes terday visited the collection of the works of the late Sir William Ross, R.A. now being exhibited a t th e S oc i e ty o f Arts, John-street, Adelphi. Her Majesty was received by Sir Thomas Phillips, chairman, and other members of the council of the society. We have very much pleasure in announcing that her Majesty, at the recommendation of Lord Palmerston, has been pleased to confer xpon Mr. Erskine May, of the House of Commons, the honour of a Civil Companionship of the Bath, in recognition of his public services. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and a numerous suite, honoured this theatre with their presence last night. The play performed was "The Fool's Revenge." As it is considered probable that her Majesty will review the Volunteer Forces later in the summer, no field day will take place in Hyde Park on May 18. It is understood that Mr. Wyke, the newly appointed English Minister to Mexico, who concluded the Nicaraguan treaty with England, is shortly expected to arrive here previous to his departure for Mexico. The Great Ship Company notify that they intend despatching the Great Eastern from Southampton, for New York, on the 9th of June. Only 300 first-class passengers will bo taken. The charge for a return ticket is £4O. The Earl of Dundonald, we are happy to learn, is progressing very favourably. During the last three days the venerable and gallant peer has been pronounced much better by his medical attendants. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF STRATHMORE.— We have to record the death of Mary, Countess of Strath • more, who died on Saturday last. The deceased countess was daughter of Mr. Milner, of Standrop, Durham, and married, 1 , 20, John, tenth Earl of Strathmore, who clic/ the day following the marriage. Her ladyship married secondly, 6th March, 1831, the Right Hon. Wm. Hutt, M.P. for Gateshead. The Word mentions a rumour that a double union is shortly to be effected between the princely families of Portugal and Hohenzollern. According to the statement the Hereditary Prince Leopold de Hohenzollern Sig maringen, aged 25, will marry the youngest sister of the King of Portugal, Donna Antonia (born in 1845), and the King, Don Pedro himself, will wed the youngest daughter of the Prince de Hohenzollern, the Princess Marie, also born in 1845. The tenders for the £1,111,500 of Grand Trunk of Canada Six per Cent. Railway Debentures, lately announced as about to be placed on the market at a mini•• mum price of 80 were serif in at 12 o'clock to-day . These debentures bear interest from the Ist of January, and the instalments will extend to the 26th of June, 5 per cent. being allowed for prepayment. The first charge on the revenues of the company is to the amount of about £74,000 per annum in connexion with the Atlantic and St. Law rence lease. The remainder of the capital ranks as follows : First Preferential Bonds, 6 pEr emit £2,000,000 Second ditto (now offered at 80) 1,111,500 Ordinary 6 per Cent. Bonds Bonds bearing 7 per cent. Share capital now existing After the present negotiation, £1,500,000 w ill remain t) be raisel upon some form of bond that must rank after all the foregoing bonds, takingprecedence only of the share capital. The advices from New Plymouth, New Zealand, regarding the native outbreak express no anxiety as to the result, the feeling being that its speedy suppression will ensure the future quiet of the colony. It originated froze a sale of 800 acres of land at the mouth of the Waiters by a native to the Government, which land Kingi, a Mauri chief, declared should not be parted with, although he ad mitted that no one but the seller had any claim to it. The surveyors, on proceeding to the spot, were turned back by the Moods. Kingi then had 24 hours given him by the commanding officer to reconsider his course. An impudent answer was the only result. The officer, not having suffi cient force, waited instructions from Auckland, and was now expecting the arrival of more troops. Kingi seeing his peril would then probably submit. In the contrary case he might, if he were allowed to escape back into the bush, give some trouble, especially to the out-settlers, as his tribe would most likely take to plundering. Confidence was en tertained, however, that in any case he would speedily be followed up, as there are many natives who are his enemies and the spirit of the settlers was excellent. For the time, however, all business was suspended, and the people were generally preparing to save such of their effects as were moveable and to seek protection in the town. LATEST NEW S. The following telegrams were received at Mr. Reuter's office : TURIN, INIAY 8. The King arrived here this evening and was met by the inhabitants, by whom he was warmly cheered. The result of the elections is favourable to the Ministry. The Chamber has adjourned until Thursday. Gen. Oudinot has given a denial to the report that he intended taking service in the Pontifical troops. IAY EVENING.

General Lamoriciere caused a Commissary-General to be arrested at Pesaro, and he does Not appear to be perfectly satis fied with the Swiss officers. His familiarity with the private soldiers has created quite an enthusiastic feeling among them. The General has procured an apartment in the Torlonia palace, near the Vatican, and near the Castle of St. Angelo. One of Prince Odescalchi's sons has resigned his commission in the Austrian service, in which he held the rank of lieutenant of Cuirassiers, to enter the Papal service. The son of the Prince de Ligne has likewise entered the Pope's army. The French Government has pre sented two pieces of cannon and a large quantity of ammunition to the Papal army. General Lamori ciere proposes to have several pieces of rifled cannon cast under the direction of French engineer officers." PARIS, TUESDAY, BOURSE, May B.—The news of Garibaldi's de parture had a depressing influence on the market at the opening of business, but there was after wards a sudden rally on a notice being posted up stating that the Caisse de Depots et Consignations would employ a capital of 427,000 f per day in the purchase of Rentes until the 7th of June. Threes, which had receded to 70f 80c, are now at 71f sc.

Garibaldi's departure for Sicily has been fully confirmed. He left during the night from the sth to the 6th inst. The Piedmontese Government had ordered all arms and ammunition which had been deposited at Quarto, near Genoa, to be seized, and had also given orders for the port of Genoa to be watched. " The expeditionary vessel, which had taken her papers for Malta, had put out to sea two days pre viously. General Garibaldi joined the vessel im mediately afterwards, and she, instead of proceed ing to Malta, went to Sicily. The Piedmontese Government made every possible protest against this act of General Garibaldi, which may involve the new Italian State in serious difficulties. " General Garibaldi, being in connexion with the committee in London undertaking the collection of English subscriptions for Sicily, had, in order to replace the arms which he feared would be seized by the Sardinian Government, received other arms, which had not passed through Piedmont." The Pays contains intelligence identical with that given by the Patna. The Opinion Nationale says :—" The different vessels belonging to General Garibaldi's expedition will unite off the Island of Capraja ; they will then direct their course towards Sicily." BERLIN, MAY 9. The Military Committee having, without any essential modification, unanimously granted the supplies for placing the army upon a war footing, the discussion of the project in full sitting is ex pected to take place on Monday. The discussion will probably be concluded in one single sitting. The Military Committee of the Chamber of Depu ties, in its sitting of yesterday, unanimously granted the supplies applied for by the Government for placing the army on a war footing. Advices from Italy received here state that the French garrison remains at Rome, and probably will even be reinforced. The treaty between Hanover and England will be prolonged after the 14th May, but perhaps for a period of less than three months. VIENNA, MAY 9. The Wanderer of to-day says :—" The Privy Councillor Apponyi has refused to become a mem ber of the Council of State. The same is stated of Count Barkoczy. MARSEILLES, MAY 8. No news has been received direct from Sicily, but letters from Naples to the sth instant state that the insurrection continued in the interior of the island Government had raised the state of siege at Paler mo, but the court-martial was to sit permanently. Business had not been resumed. General Balzano had demanded a reinforcement of 5,000 men in consequence of Garibaldi's expedi- tion. GNEVA, MAY 8. Prince Napoleon arrived here incognito on Sun day at noon, and left at 2 p.m. on Monday; he was accompanied by M. E. de Girardin. This excursion of his Highness has no political object. TRIESTE, MAY 8. Count Ludolf will embark this evening for Con stantinople, there to assume the functions of Charge d'Affaires of Austria. • Baron Prokesch is expected here in a fortnight. The report that he will be appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs is unfounded. ROME, MAY 8 (VIA MARSEILLES). Notwithstanding the statements of the Sardi nian journals that the French troops will have en tirely evacuated the Papal States before the end of June, it is certain that the Duke de Gramont, in accordance with instructions received from Paris, has declared to the Holy See that the French gar rison will not leave the Papal territory until the Sovereign Pontiff himself shall have acknowledged that the departure of the French troops can take place without any danger to the tranquillity and safety of his States. THE PUBLISHED RENUNCIATION OF COUNT DE MONTEMOLIN. PARIS, MAT 8. The renunciation of the Count de Montemolin, which has been published in several journals, is said to be unfounded. The Count is expected to arrive this evening at Cette, and next Thursday at Paris. THE STADE DUES. HANOVER, MAY 8. It appears probable that the Anglo-Hanoverian treaty relative to the Stade Dues will be provision ally prolonged from the 14th of May for a further period of three months. In to•day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of the Interior, M. von Borries, stated that some journals had, intentionally or uninten tionally, misrepresented the policy of the Hanove rian Government. He further said—" The past history of Hanover should insure her against any misrepresentation. Hanover is faithful to the Con federation. The Federal Constitution does not admit that a German Government should conclude a convention with a foreign Power against any other German Powers, and least of all would such a convention be entered into with France." The Minister concluded by saying that in his speech he had merely alluded to the probability of such a state of things in the event of Germany becoming disorganised by a false course of policy on the part of the National Association. ROME. A letter from Rome, of the Ist inst., says :—'•The Government has abandoned the idea of finding work for the unemployed. The number who demanded employment was increasing every day in an enor mous proportion, and, as the Government could not admit them all, complaints were heard, and sub sequently violence was used. Those who had been admitted refused to work any longer, and it was disgusting to see 20 lazy fellows losing their time over an excavation which an industrious man would have accomplished in one day. The Govern ment has dismissed them all, and thus realized a saving of £4OO a-day. The Holy Father has ordered the construction of several houses near St. Clement and in the old suburbs, in order to give lodgings to a Lumber of poor faraiges. Madame Lamoriciere was presented to SARDINIA. The following is the text of the letter by which General Garibaldi and M. Robaudi have announced to the Piedmontese Chamber their resignation as deputies for Nice : " GENOA, APRIL 25, 1860. "`Whereas the result of the voting of the county of Nice, which occurred on the 15th without any legal guarantee, in evident violation of the freedom and regularity of suffrage, and of the solemn pro mises stipulated in the treaty of cession of March 24, has been obtained in a country still nominally pertaining to the Sardinian States, and free to choose between that Government and France, but in reality under the complete control of the latter Power, being militarily occupied and subjected to all the influence both of physical force and moral pressure, as we have irrefutably proved both to the Chamber and to the country ; and whereas the present voting has been effected, as to form, with very serious irregularities, while, on the other hand, past experience prevents our entertaining any hope of an inquiry being set on foot to investigate the matter ; we the undersigned, consider it our duty to resign our office of representatives of Nice, protesting against the act of fraud and violence which has been consummated, and waiting► until time and circumstances shall permit as and our fellow-citizens to assert our rights, which cannot be weakened by an illegal and fraudulent act. " G. GARIB ALDI. " LAURENTI-RO B AUDI." R USSIA. The following letter has been received from War saw, dated the 3d inst. :—" The Emperor Alex ander is expected here in the course of the month, and it is believed his Majesty will go afterwards to Berlin. An army of 150,000 men is marching to occupy the kingdom of Poland and the provinces nearest to Turkey. You are aware that since the war in the Crimea Russia has paid great attention to Asia. She is attentively watching all that is passing, bath in the north of Asia, in China, in Tar tary, and even in Central Asia. The internal dis putes between Dost Mahommed Khan of Cabul on the one hand, and the inhabitants of Khiva and the Turcomans on the other, facilitate the intervention of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg in the internal affairs of that country. The Khan of Khiva will shortly enter into intimate relations with our Go vernment, which will, probably, protect him against the invasion of the Turcomans, those wandering robbers who plunder and burn the property of the inhabitants of Khiva and lay waste that fine coun try. An Envoy from the Khan of Khiva is ex pected at St. Petersburg, where he will establish himself permanently." AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MAY 9, The Atlantic Royal Mail Company's steamer, Prince Albert, arrived yesterday afternoon at Gal way. She left New York on the 26th ult. and S John's on the Ist inst. The late telegrams via S John's had not arrived. THE LATE MR STRIAGET. An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner for Middlesex, upon the body of this unfortunate gentleman, at his late residence, No. 13, Harley-street, Cavendish-square. The Coro ner having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. A. A. Douglas, the brother-in-law of the deceased, was examined, and he stated that he had been recently residing in the house with his sister and the deceased, it being thought advisable by the medi cal attendant that he should do so. The deceased had been recently very depressed in spirits, and had been influenced by the most extraordinary delusions as to certain litigation in which he had been some years engaged. Witness spent a portion of the evening of Thursday, the 3d inst., in the library with the deceased, and he expressed a wish to sit up all night, but witness dissuaded him from doing so, and they both retired to bed about twelve o'clock at night, and he parted with the deceased at his bedroom door. About half-past eight o'clock the following morning witness was called by one of the female servants, who said that she had been unable to make her master hear, and that she thought he must be ill. Witness immediately proceeded to the bedroom of the deceased, and find. ing some obstruction against the door, he forced it open, and discovered the body of the deceased, quite cold and rigid, suspended from an iron peg to the door. Witness immediately summoned medical aid, which promptly arrived, but the deceased had evidently been dead for several hours. Sarah Millar, a domestic servant of the deceased, de posed that she went to call him at the usual hour, and receiving no reply she called on Mr. Douglas. She said that she had observed that her master had been recently very desponding, and ap parently unhappy, but she had never heard him threaten to do himself or any other person injury. Dr. Forbes Winslow deposed that in March last he was called in to attend upon the deceased, tend found him suffering under melancholia and delusions, and his mind was clearly diseased. He was impressed with an idea that he had done something which would render him odious to every one who knew him. He also considered that it was absolutely necessary that he should throw up all his appoint ments, and that he would be reduced to beggary and should die a pauper. Witness prescribed a curative course, and recommended that the deceased should never be left by himself. Several friends of the unfor tunate gentleman were then examined, and th e y gave such informati o n t o th e jury as to leave no doubt whatever upon their minds that the deceased had destroyed himself while in an unsound state of mind, and they accordingly returned a verdict to that effect, accompanying it with an expression of their opinion that the family and friends of the un happy gentleman had taken all the precaution which under the circumstances could possibly have been expected. It appeared that the unhappy de ceased had been hourly expected at Hastings, where he had been staying with his wife, and had left her behind. He had, it appeared, come to town to attend to his duties at the Central Criminal Court, and he had despatched a telegram to his wife the day previous to the sad event, apprising her of his intention to rejoin her on the day when he came to so melancholy an end. 7WR NAVY. Rear-Admiral Sir T. Maitland, C. 8., the newly , appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific station, yesterday hoisted his. flag (white at the mizen) on board his flagship, the Bacchante, 51, screw frigate, in Portsmouth harbour, saluting the flag of the Commander.in-Chief, Vice• Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce, from her Majesty's ship Excellent, the Victory returning the compliment. The Philomel new class gunboat, built by the Messrs. White, of Cowes, has commenced receiving her machinery of 80-horse power, by Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, in the steam basin at Ports mouth. A court-martial assembled yesterday morning on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, for the trial of Lieut. P. G. Patrickson, serving on board the Asia steam guardship of or dinary at that port, on charges preferred against him by his commanding officer. Shortly after the commencement of the proceedings the Court was formally adjourned until this day, owing to the illness of the prisoner. The Medusa, 4, paddle, Commander William Bowden, sailed from Spithead at daylight yester day morning for Woolwich, to pay off. The Najaden, 18, Swedish corvette, Captain Ekmen, sailed from Spithead for the Baltic at 5 30 a.m. yesterday. The Queen, 86, screw, Captain C. F. Hillyar, sailed from Spithead at 730 a.m., yesterday. The ship tripped her anchor under canvass, end in " wearing ship" under the Melpomene's stern, and endeavouring to pass between her and the shoals, she unfortunately touched the ground, and hung for some time. Boats from the men-of-war, and steam tugs from the harbour, were despatched to her assistance, but by that time her own steam was in use, and she speedily came off again and pro ceeded on her voyage. She is not supposed to have received the slightest damage. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. H. A. Trollope to be Flag Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Maitland, the newly-appointed Commander-in- Chief in the Pacific ; John W. Reed, Master addi tional to the Fisgard ; James W. Ozzard, Paymas ter, to be Secretary to Rear-Admiral Sir T. Mait land; T. S. Chanter, Assist.-Paymaster, to the Impregnable, as supernumerary ; and Peter Hut chinson, promoted to the rank of Second-class As sist.-Engineer in the Adventure. THE ARMY. Yesterday Major-General Eyre, the commandant of the Chatham garrison, held the half-yearly in spection of the corps of Royal and Indian Engineers at Brompton Barracks, Chatham. The companies now at head-quarters assembled in the barrack square at 10 o'clock, under the command of Lieu t.- Col. A. P. Ross, the non-commissioned officers and men being in heavy marching order. General Eyre afterwards examined the books and accounts, which were laid out in the hall of study, and also inspected the libraries, school-room, class-rooms, and other portions of the Royal Engineer estab lishment. The Engineers were then again formed in the barrack-square, when the officers were called to the front and inspected in the sword drill, after which General Eyre had the companies formed into square, and, addressing the men, asked if there were any complaints, when only one man stepped from the ranks to make a complaint to the General. The proceedings of the day closed by General Eyre inspecting each man's kit. The inspection was con sidered to be an exceedingly satisfactory one, and it is understood that a very favourable report will be made by Major-General Eyre to the Commander in-Chief. THE MILITIA. On Monday last the Ist (Duke of Lancaster's 0 wn) Militia was inspected at Lancaster by General Douglas, the inspecting field-officer of militia. The regiment assembled under, the command of Colonel Talbot Clifton, and, after the general salute, they fell into open column, and marched past at slow and quick time. Nothing could be more steady than the dressing of each division as it passed in succession. General Douglas addressed Colonel Clifton and the regiment, and in the warmest terms congratulated the former and complimented the lat ter on the state of efficiency to which the Ist Royal Lancashire Militia had attained. The Royal North Gloucestershire Regiment of Militia assembled at Cirencester last week for train ing. The force consists of 24 officers, and nearly 500 men, who have been supplied with the long Enfield rifle. The 2d Regiment of Royal Middlesex Militia has assembled at Barnet for the usual period of training. The Somerset County Militia (2d Regiment) has been called out. It consists of 736 men. The Hampshire Militia, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Stretton, assembled last week at Win chester. The force consists of about 400 men. The 2d Regiment of Derby Militia (the Chats• worth Rifles) will assemble at Chesterfield on Thursday, the 24th inst., for their annual training. The Chester Militia assembled on Monday last at Chester for 28 days' training. The sth West York Regiment is to assemble at Knaresborough, for 27 days' training on Monday, the 4th of June, and not on the 26th instant, as previously stated. MR. BAPTIST NOEL AND THE RECENT PRIZE FIGIIT. The Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, whose exer tions in reclaiming the frail sisters of the Hay market we lately had to notice, has turned his atten tion to the scenes of the prize ring, and has just published "A Letter to the Noblemen and Gentle men who attended the Fight been Heenan and Sayers" (Nisbet and Co.) Mr. Noel takes the nar ratives of the sporting papers and of the Times as the groundwork of his appeal, and founds on them an argument drawn from considerations of social order, morality, and religion. The reverend writer has evidently paid close attention to the copious literature of the fight. His remarks are invariably in good taste. The reader will find no disparaging references to Sayers or Heenan, who of all the per sons present he evidently thinks made the best figure at Farnborough on the 17th ult. It is for the spectators he reserves his censures, and of them and their tastes he says : " To go 50 miles and pay three pounds in order to witness the intense sufferings of others, 'while sitting one's self at ease on a comfortable chair, en veloped in a warm wrapper, and then, after lolling in an easy carriage, to laugh over a good dinner at the end, seems to me a process adapted to form al effeminate ruffian. A ruffian, because every man is a ruffian who takes pleasure in the sight of suffer ing ; and an effeminate ruffian, because the indul gence of the appetite for horrors is in these circum stances accompanied with no danger, and no hard ship. When a d e li g ht in the pain f others is ob tained in the midst of perils, as in the strife of bri gands, a ruffian becomes at least bold and hardy ; but when it is combined with luxurious ease, it may leave men no less effeminate than cruel." Further on Mr. Noel urges an argument which has always appeared to us most worthy of the con sideration of all candid and reflecting men, the consequences to be apprehended to the order and tranquillity of civil life from encouraging people to look to individual strength as a means of redress for real or imaginary wrongs. He says : " Pugilism, like pistol practice, makes strong and practised men bullies in common life, ready to in sult others because they know that men without muscle and with no practice cannot fight with th( m. At the same time it tends to make all others qur r relsome ; for if fighting comes to be considered tl e best way of settling a dispute, a man who has at y strength will always be disposed to fight for an. trifle, and our cities, towns, and villages will be filled with fighters. Your support of these fights will set your own villagers all fighting." Mr. Noel pushes the argument much closer, and in fact gets his antagonist "on the ropes." He observes, truly enough, that if these fights are goad for the working classes making them more manly, they must be good for the rich and noble, whose luxurious habits render it more necessary that they should cultivate the power of endurance. " I suppose, however, that much as you advocate this way of invigorating the poor, you do not pro pose to adopt it yourselves. You would, indeed, -- • - draw some monster trains to your ring were you to announce that the Earl of A---- and the Duke of B-- would, on such a day, for the improvement of their country, strip and fight ; and an assem bly still more aristocratic would probably crowd round the ropes to see which should first blind or disable the other. But that not being intended, vul gar blood alone is to flow. The earl does not mean to be smashed himself, because he smiles at seeing Heenan mashed ; and the duke does not mean to have his right arm broken or turned into blue jelly, because he conies to see the arm of Sayers so treated. Is not this to make poor men your sport, while you do not mean to be made their sport in turn ? But if it is beneath gentlemen to settle their disputes by the fist, it is equally beneath working men ; and I believe working men are becoming too well educated, in general, to make their bruises and their blood a spectacle for your amusement." We should like to see the answer to this argu ment. Noblemen, who are making our working men more manly—and there are many such—are not to be found among the frequenters of the prize ring. " You say that you wish to make the people manly. How can they be made manly when they work all day in ill-ventilated workshops, till ex hausted, and then poison themselves with drink? If you wish them to be manly, improve the venti lation of their workshops and cottages ; raise their wages by encouraging emigration ; teach them self-respect by a good education ; then with good food, temperance, and a sense of duty, you may make them the bravest and manliest nation in the world." It will be seen from the foregoing extracts that Mr. Noel can hit hard occasionally. We regret that he has here and there weakened his position by misconceptions and overstrained applications of arguments right in principle. We are surprised to find him stating that the lords and gentlemen who attended the fight were drawn thither by a sordid love of money, and that if they exulted in every gash inflicted on Heenan till their shouts rent the air, it was because those gashes were likely to fill their purses. Doubtless there were many present of whom it is true that " each blow was like a cheque upon the bank, each fresh protuberance like a purse' of gold, and wolfish eyes were sparkling at it, and eager throats yelled out their frantic de light." The betting on the men heightened the excitement for all ; but these allowances made, Mr. Noel's statement is still much exaggerated.—Daily News. PAPER DUTY. The chief measure which occupied the House of Commons last night was the removal of the Excise Duty upon Paper, and a narrow majority of nine has saved the bill from perdition. There seemed to be an impression in the house that the exigen cies of the public service are such that the money required for the removal of this burden cannot prudently be spared ; and, if the vote had been given without any reference to the consequences of defeating the Ministry upon a question of finance, we much fear that we should not have to congratulate the leaders of this agitation upon the success of their long endeavours. Even yet there is a certain degree of danger, lest the scanty cha racter of the majority should risk the safety of the bill, in the Lords, where a defeat is not so certainly fatal to a Government. It has been under difficulties, then, that this bill has been read a third time, and the obstruction in terposed by Sir Stafford Northcote has been put aside. Although the subject is one upon which we have for many years lost no opportunity of putting in a modest word of hope, there is no topic which iwe have of late approached with greater reluctance. If we were not constrained by duty to develope the arguments affecting each important topic of the day, we would gladly leave this to take its own course unquestioned. No sooner do we publish a word upon this matter than there is a darting and a shooting among all the small fry of the waters, and every tiny minnow rushes to the rescue, as though we must be necessarily about to swallow the only crumb that is available for its sustenance. With admirable taste, and still more admirable logic, we, the largest payers of paper duty in all Britain, are, immediately w e s p ea k, ve h emently shouted at as interested in contemning or even in refusing the hoped-for boon. Men in high position, exuberant patriots, and patrons of exotic journals denounce our lukewarm a d vocacy , as tainted by the baseness of pecuniary greed. Unless we will harangue quite up to their point, and declare that the prime consideration of a Chancellor of the Ex chequer should be to float every stranding literary speculation with public money, we are nought-- nay, we are worse than nought ; we are self-seek ing, and false, and are masked conspirators against the pockets of depleted agitators. The other day some one at a public meetirg had the impudence to declare that the paper of the number of the Tinier which laughed gently at the idea of reviving the old village mills bore the watermark of a village mill upon it. That " village mill" pays .£15,000 year in Excise duty ; but what then ? It is near enough for the audience to which it was addressed, and it was a fair specimen of the facts which these tumultuous gentlemen, who unite the professions of statesmen and literary adventurers, deal in. We cannot hope to keep up with such allies as these. Believing it to be the honest course for men in our position to look upon this only as a public question, we have felt obliged to treat it as subservient to some other great national interests, and the removal of the duty, although desirable, and fairly to be agitated for, yet not to be demanded at all cost. We resign, therefore, the chief honours of this victory. We are but the Lafayette of this fiscal change; let the laurels go to the Mirabeau and the Denton. Already, however, it would appear that the dreams which floated so rosy round the advent of this glorious idea are dispersing. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer no longer talks of riding in paper coaches. Country squires no longer hear in their imagination the click clack of a magic paper mill, which in some sequestered glade was to grind up all their poor-rates and double the rent of all the bits of meadow land that are fit for accommodation pastures. It is impossible to help thinking, with Sir Stafford Northcote, that this is not exactly the moment when the nation can part with £1,200,000 a-year without a longing look behind. We know what we should have thought of ourselves if, con sidering our own interest, our own circulation, our own profits, we had day by day importunately in sisted upon having this large sum sacrificed to us and to our craft. What we have strenuously asked for is a matter which requires no sacrifice of public money, and which demanded nothing but common foresight and commercial knowledge to have ob tained. We have asked only for a facility in obtain ing materials without which permission of free manufacture is but a mockery. At this late hour it is said the commissioners in Paris are negotiating for this advantage, and that they give hopes of suc cess. If it should be obtained, we think we see our way to draw some benefit for the public out of this renunciation of an important revenue. It is all, however, very vague while the Customs' duty and the rag export duty remain unsettled. Even those who were most eager for this reform some weeks ago have come to think thus; and Mr. Gladstone himself seemed to hint last night that, but for the necessity of making good the conside ration for his teepenny income tax, he would have paused upon this point of his Budget and felt his ground again before he trod. I - We hope we have manifested a decent degree of reticence, and have not been greedy or selfish in this matter. We may now, with a free conscience, assume that the money, this £1,200,000, is gone. Whither is it gone ? We have already said that it shall not go into our pockets. We hope that the gentry who have been so much more noisy than ourselves will be as honest in the matter as we in tend to be. We hope that there may be no such unedifyiNg spectacle as a crowd of regenerators of the human race casting themselves upon this little million like the fainting fugitives from Egypt into the stream which Moses made to flow." We hope that these men, who are so rich and so earnest, who have so long sustained this good work, will scorn to make a personal gain of the success of their public efforts, and will give the public the whole benefit of the reduction for which the public pays. We trust there is no one in our craft of whom it shall be said that when he cried aloud for the public, he meant only himself; that there is no one in modern days of whom it can be said, "not that he cared fin. the poor, but because he carried th• bag."—Times. AN ESTIMATE OF RAJAH BROOKE.---As for his place in his own country and its history, he is in himself a marking incident in his century. We have in him one more representative of an order o f men who had seemed to have passed away, while yet th ere i s no retrograde cha racter about him and kis work. WQ have in the American Filibuster not only a retrograde but a corrupted specimen of the adventurer of the Middle Ages. Walker, in Nica ragua or in Mexico, is a base imitation of the old buccaneer. Rajah Brooke bears no relation to such a specimen of de praved buccaneering. He gave himself to Sarawak, instead of seizing Sarawak for himself. He did not grasp at the reins of government, but put them into the hands of the natives, and showed them how to guide their course. He sacrificed his fortune for them, instead of extorting one from them. It has been the world's wonder what sort of Christians Cortez and his comrades supposed themselves to be : and the world now sees what sort of a Christian a Knight-Adventurer may be. For the sake of this spec tacle we may rejoice that that antique class has had 060 more Representative Man,—Once a Week. i pe: 3 p ei New Ina Di Di Ditt4 Ditt Con, LIE Di Di Exci Di Buei Di Mex Port Belgi Late Di. vex Vet 109 Tru in i adv and sub 50, Bras
