What do the Palmerstonians now think of Mr. VEnNON SMITH ? He got rope enough last night, and the usual result happened. His worst enemy could not have damaged him half as much as he damaged himself, by the insolent contumely dis played towards the House, and the arrogant self sufficiency of his tone and manner. His former colleagues must have been greatly ashamed of the exhibition. " The Marquis of LANSDOWNE made the best fight possible for his protege, but any effect which that venerable nobleman produced kas been completely removed by the petulant audacity of the ex-President of the India Board. His tone was that rather of a saucy schoolboy than of a Cabinet Minister, to whose hands the destinies of one hundred and fifty millions of British subjects were committed. The universal feeling of the House prevented him from finishing one sentence, which was too bad, even for the Paltnerstonians, and which elicited an in dignant demonstration from all sides of the House. But ho was permitted to state that ho was pre pared to justify, not having made any communi cation of what, with a singular absence of tact or knowledge of right and wrong, he is pleased to designate as a " private communication ;" and to add, that "he had not the slightest feeling of regret for not having done so," Nor was he satisfied with damaging himself. He has implicated Lord PALMERSTON in the scrape, by declaring that he had received Lord CANNING'S letter, and con sulted his former leader, who concurred in its very improper suppression. The matter is really assuming a grave aspect. We should not like to style it a conspiracy, but there is a total absence of fair play and all the proprieties of civilised life. It is what might be expected from a sharp practitioner —one ready to take any dirty advan tage—but what any gentleman of standing and position would hesitate to do ! Mr. SMITH, fortunately for England and for India, not at preient of Cannon-Row, admitted that he was aware that Lord CANNING wrote the letter under the impression that he—SMITH—was still President of the ludia Board, and would simultaneously receive the letter and the procla mation. The most obtuse dunderhead could not ignore that fact. The very words of Lord Carr- NINWS letter indicated it clearly and distinctly. It was not to Mr. SMITE!, but to the Minister for the time being; and, even if there were any secrets in the missive, it was an impera tive duty to communicate at lease the paragraph in question to his successor in office. It was couched in the following terms :—" I intend to ►ssue a proclamation to the talooldars and land ,►wners of Oude, which will reach you officially by the mail. I had hoped to have accompanied tt with a full explanatory despatch, but more urgent business has prevented me from doing so from hour to hour." This proved beyond the possibility of doubt or difficuly, that an explanation was required, and that it would be given on a future occasion. Mat might have induced Lord ELL I 3NBOROUGEC to pause, so far at least as the publication of the despatch was concerned. But that opportunity Vas lost by the misconduct of Mr. SMITH, who had the letter on the 17th of April, and sup pressed it until after the departure of the mail on the 26th. We deeply regret the resignation of Lord ELLENBORMIR He was unquestionably " the right man in the right place," and we believe that the publication of his admirable despatch is calculated to restore peace and tranquillity in India, and greatly to reduce the expenses and difficulties of the contest. It was an act of chivalrous self-sacrifice on his part that induced l,ifn to tender his resignation, and to co so without any communica,ion with his coadjutors. Had he consulted them they woull, as we have heard from the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, have unanimously requested the withdrawal of that resigna tion. They would have supported him to the last ; and we believe that the results iu India will) ere bug, show the propriety of such a course. It is the el but universal confiscation of the soil, the barefaced robbery indicated, that was calcu lated to Excite the people to madness. It is remarkable that not one of the PA.LNIER VON organs have ventured to defend Mr. SMITH. his statements, which produced derisive cheers from all parts of the house, could not be defended by Times, Pest, or Advertiser, and the remarkable silence of these journals is really a stronger com ment oa his folly, than the most severe censure by an opponent. his party are thoroughly ashamed of him, and with good and sufficient cause. IMr, CARDWELL s till p erseveres i n his motion. The bishop -making E irl will also address the House of Peers in support of the Sabbath-day con spiracy. It might have been supposed that the resiglation of Lard ELLENROBOUGH would have fully atoned fur any indiscretion respecting the publcation of a despatch which no one has dared to iripeach, and which, we have no hesitation in assenting, did equal honour to his head and heart. It Vas calculated to allay the apprehensions not only of eminent persons, but of those who can sicked that they were acting for their King and country, and who certainly could not fairly be classified with mutineers and murderers—men un'aithful to their salt, or the rabid foes of hu minity, ready to stain their hands in innocent blood under circumstances of the utmost atrocity. Lord CANNING, who had, in the first instance, been wanting in firmness—who might almost hive been regarded as a sympathiser with Sepoyism—afterwards fell into the op posite extreme, and it was the duty of the Rome Government, and more espe cially of the President of the India Board, to check him in his perilous career. It would, indeed,- he strange if her Majesty's constitu tional advisers might not even suggest to one of their servants a more temperate course than he was inclined to pursue -- might not even hint that justice should be tempered with mercy, or that leniency might prevail in deciding on the case brought under consideration. Were it otherwise, a colonial governor would be constituted a despot, an absolute autocrat, with unlimited authority. We fearlessly say that no consistent Liberal can sup port Mr. CARDWELL' s motion—can assist in establishing a dictatorship of one of the most thoroughgoing Tories in either House of Parlia ment. Let them, before doing so, look to Lord PA LMERSTON'S antecedents, and remember how greatly he has impeded the progress of reform. Although a measure was promised, no inkling of its provisions was suffered to leak out ; and it was accidentally discovered that n) bill was pre pared, or even in course of preparation. Some excuse for delay and procrastina tion would have been discovered, and the real Liberals, who were treated with con• tumely and insult, would still have seen the mea sures, on which they had set their hearts, disre garded and set aside, while the Whigs were obtaining their support under false and fraudulent pretences. Since Lord DERBY'S accession to power every thing that could be anticipated has been achieved. In Foreign affairs we have seen the national honour vindicated, the Conspiracy Bill aban doned, the English engineers liberated, and com pensation demanded, and Mr. HODGE restored to his friends. We have seen an admirable budget that elicited the admiration even of all the Palmerstonian journals. A just and humane Administration at the Home-office offers a well• founded hope of real reforms, and also of fair play to India. Who, then, will join the cry to restore Lord PALMERSTON I Let Lard DERBY and his colleagues be fairly dealt with. Let them be judged according to their deserts. If they merit censure let them receive it, but let not the interests of India and of England be sacrificed to party feeling or factious proceedings. On the Bth of June Mr. BERKELEY is to bring forward his motion for the Ballot. Now, there fore, is the time for reformers to bestir themselves. Whatever any of them may think of the merits of the CARDWELL resolution, of the CANNING Proclamation, and the ELLENBOROUGH Despatch, all reformers quite understand that the Cambridge House Sunday movement is intended to supplant a Conservative Government by a Sham Reform Government. To give us a Government which says, "I go, sir," but go not in place of one which has, indeed, often refused, " but afterwards repented, and went." In such a Government as the former Reformers can have no possible in terest. The latter has practically served their purpose far better. Reformers are, therefore, just now, practically independent. They can appeal to the House, and they can canvass mem bers on real Reform questions ; and of all the questions which will test the sincerity of a mem ber's reform principles, there is none to be com pared with the Ballot. No other reform gives to every voter real independence. No other compels an appeal to the intelligence of the people ; in stead of the innumerable appeals now addressed to their fears for personal and family support, and also to much meaner motives. No other re form emancipates whole counties from the dicta tion of landlords, and would convert them from preserves for Whig and Tory political sport, to constituencies of men voting as free agents. We have often expressed our own opinion de cidedly on this point. We just now find it strongly corroborated by the teitimony of "one of themselves,"* and we have taken pains to ascertain that the writer of this sensible and moderate, yet decided little pamphlet is really " one of themselves." He is a landowner, too, and has no sympathy, of course, with "destructive" Revolutionists and Red Republicans ; and we be lieve not overmuch with those who as a body rank are Radicals. He is, however, as opposed as we are to " organised shams," and to oligarchy as suming the title of liberalism ; but especially as an honest yeoman his indignation turns against converting his own class into a part of the sham. " Electors who do not elect" aro in his judgment a piece of political fraud, a legal fiction ; he would not, however, abolish this fiction, but convert it into a fact. He recognises as the present fact that "he and his class are really and truly political serfs." " How," he adds, " mus t we d etest tha franchise which should have been our boast, but is become the badge of our serfdom." He demands that the words " Independent Electors " should be no longer " ironical but true." The county elector asserts, as we have so often done, that a Reform Bill without the Ballot might, and probably would, merely strengthen the hands of the aristocracy, by giving them greater num• bers of dependent supporters. W e are promised a new Reform Bill. It seems then not out of place to enquire, before a new con stituency is called into existence, whether it is likely to be more independent than the old one. Under a specious appearance of liberal measures, the suffrage may be so extended as to intensify and augment the power that the great L .rds already possess. " Imagine a 2)/. tenant-at-will clause ! Our rulers do not object to increase the number of vo ' ters. Why should they ? They would increase by that means their own power. What they do object to is, to the voters being rendered independent. Ob ject 1 did I say 1 They view such a proposal with the utmost consternation, and will never yield the power they possess over the electors,—if they can help it. They look upon that power as much their own, as the broad acres that have made them what they are. it is probably dearer to them than any other possession ; they will never willingly re linquish it ; and we have no hope of redress, but in our own firmness and resolution to be free. The ballot alone will wake us really independent in the exercise of our franchise, and it is upon the ballot that we should concentrate our efforts. It is indeed much more important t o us, t h an to borough elec tors ; it isindispensable to us, for without it we shall soon be politically ex mud ; the specious form of an election will not b e want i ng it is true ; but , the nominees of the oligarchy will be returned to Parliament in our name, and we shall continue t') be insulted by being told that they are our repre sentatives." We earnestly commend this little tract for gene ral circulation ; circulation in the counties especi ally. There is a tone of moderation combined with decision, of simplicity, of truthfulness in it, which will make it tell with a largo class. The class to whom the writer belongs will certainly feel its truth ; cannot even they be got, for once, to make an eff)rt for their own emancipation? The Bth of June is approaching. Why cannot county electors throw off their fetters fur once, and sign a Petition of Rights—of the Right of Electoral In dependence at least—to the House of Commons. If but one county would, more others would speedily follow. The effect would be irresistible. Whigs and Tories would see that the hope of place and power was gone, unless Liberty of Election were conceded, and all the aristocratic candidates would loudly profess that they wished the people to be free, and did not know that they were not so• We hope " County Electors" will respond to the appeal of " one of themselves," by numerous petitions before the Bth of June. EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT BY MR. VERNON SMITH. We have at last the true account of the letter from Lord Canning, which Mr. Smith has sup pressed, and it differs strangely from all that we have heard upon this subject from Lords Granville and Lansdowne. Lord Canning sent home the famous procla mation with a despatch and a private letter,—ad dressed to Mr. Vernon Smith, as President of the Board of Control. In this letter Lord Canning stated that he was anxious to give further rxplanations about the proclamation, but that he was forced to postpone them to some future time. What did this in fact mean ? Why, naturally, Lord Canning, supposing that he was writing to his official chief, intended to say, "My despatch is an incomplete defence of my procla mation, and judging of it by what you know officially, I dare say you will condemn it ; but I have explanations to give, which will modify your opinion ; wait till you are in possession of them. I have not time to give them to-day." Now, will any one deny that, if Lord Ellenborough had received such a request from the Governor- General his conduct would have been very diffe rent ? Perhaps he would have abstained from judging the Proclamation, until Lord Can ning's explanations had arrived ; probably, if he had expressed any official opinion upon it, he would have done so in more measured terms ; certainly, he would never have published his cele brated reply. Thus, then, in all its most important bearings, the course of Lord Ellenborough has been affected by the suppression of Lord Canning's letter to Mr. Smith, and as we are now told that Lord Palmerston advised its suppression, we can only look upon the whole business as an in trigue to lay a trap for Lord Ellenborough, by keeping him in ignorance of Lurd Canning's most important communications.

The following is the copy of a letter written by Captain Cabins, of the Caribou, belonging to this port, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, relating to a cluster of islands not laid down in the charts, and which lie in the direct track to Australia, The attention of the owners and masters of ships ought to be called to the subject, as many vessels of which no tidings have been heard may have been wrecked on them :—" Ship Caribou, Hobson's Bay, March 13, 1858. I sailed frotn Liverpool on the Bth December, 1857, bound to Port Phillip, in Aus tralia. On February 22d, wind westerly, brisk gale with snow squalls, at 10.33 a.m., in a clea between the squalls, I fancied I saw land to the southward ; took in studding-sails, shortened sail, aud stood towards it. At 1.30 p.m. hove to abreast the island, in the centre, bearing S.S. W., about 12 miles ; lowered a l'fsboat, and sent her to the land. I afterwards stood in to about nine miles off shore, and got no ground with 120 fathoms of line. The island appeared to be iu a S.E. and N. W. (Erection, about 25 miles, its southern extreme trending to the S.W. forming a deep bight on its western side, which was entirely snow-clad, and gave it the appearance of a great barrier of ice. The greater part of the whole island was covered with snow ; there was a remarkable group of high rock lying off to the N.E. from the S.E. part of the island, apparently six or seven miles, and on the N. W. extreme an iceberg ageound. The island was cloud-capped, but I think that its greatest eleva tion could not be less than 450 feet above the level of the sea. While hove to, awaiting our boat's re turn, I was astonished to see vessels at anchor in a bay, we having opened it through drifting to the S.E. One of them got under way and stood to wards it ; it proved to be the American schooner Oxford, of Fairhaven. They put out a boat, and the master came on board ; he told me they called it Kurds Island, aud that it was discovered by them 18 months before. He seemed annoyed that my Boat had landed, and advised me to go and leave her behind, saying she would never return ; but I told him I would never leave her while 1 had another boat to seek for her. I was very anxious, for it was then sundown, and darkness comet® on fast ; but while speaking the lookout at the mast head reported the boat in sight. He then became more communicative, and told me they were after oil ; that the shores of the island swarmed with sea elephants ; and that they had sent to America from the island since the discovery 25,000 barrels of oil. The island was bold on the N.E. side, and no hidden dangers ; and the bay where they lay was a fine bay or na tural harbour with good anchorage ; no sunken dangers, with 12 to 20 fathoms all over, and sheltered from all winds except a north-easterly, with a fine river of fresh water at the head of it. He also told me that there was another island west of Kurds, distance some 30 miles, and another E.S.E. 70 miles, both of which he had seen, bty never landed on. My own officers that were in the boat confirmed his statement of the sea elephants, and the island being well watered ; there are pen guins and other birds in myriads, and on au island abaut a mile apart from the main appeared to be a great mound of guano. While lying to I went to look at my abstract, and it made me shudder to think that only twelve months be fore I ran past the island at midnight in a heavy gale of wind, not more than four or five miles distant, ignorant of its existence. My greatest wish on sending my boat to the island was to find out if there were any shipwrecked persons on it whom I might relieve. I send, enclosed with this, a sketch of the island, in the execution of which I was very much a=sisted by one of the passengers. It was entirely of volcanic origin, my six officers having found the sur'ace ashes and stones, like the specimen enclosed. I made the northern extreme of the island in lat. 53 1 S , long. 73 7 E.—good chronometers."— Liverpool Daily Post. STORM IN THE METROPO IS. a violent storm of wind and rain in Yesterday afternoon, between 3 and Lo 4 n o d ' o el n o . ck, W th b e i r l e e w th a e s ou f t tb in front time the storm was at its height the wind forced d des o r wnsingom alorfotysts ofack of chimneys belonging to the the Surrey Theatre ; at the same t principal thedownby force o e rain that fell, and the roof, girders , and ceiling were carried away. 11L r. a D lb y the artist, who was in the house, as well as the few hands employed during the day, rushed out of the building, but they no sooner got into the ro a d than they found that the penthouse in front of the pre mises belonging to Mr. Allen, a fruiterer, No. 117, in the road, had been forced down by the rain, lift e d b y and carried into the front garden of the M. Jain where it alighted. A woman and h er c hi ld who w along at the time were f a i r l y lif ted by the wind,ee passing rhe m e w e i nd, when they fell were both se vere l y i n j ured. The Oxford Arms Tavern, belonging to Mr. W r i g h t, i n the r and Westminster-road, has lately been under repair, and some men were yesterday engaged painting the front just as the storm set in, and such was th e f orce of the wind that it blow down the temporary stage on which the men had been pa:1161)g a minute before. Two other men, who were employed at the same description of work, wero blown down, but not injured. In the London-road, Southwark, a Mr. Warrier, a fancy bird importer, had suspended out side his premises a great number of cages containing birds. Such was the force of the wind that the cages were driven otf their hooks, and being very light were carried higher than the housetops, striking in their progress and demo lishing window-glass in one or two of the houses near. In the Borough-road and the contiguous streets considerable damage was done. At 35, Union-street tho wind blew a row of windows from one side of the shop through another into Little Surrey -street. A large tarpawling placed over the buildings in a wood-said in King-street was blown into the air. Along the Thames, near Westminster-bridge, as far as Bermondsey, the numerous vessels riding at anchor or passing along sustained considerable injury by coming into collision with each other.

Most contradictory rumours were last night in *diva citculation touching the probable issue of this even inlet( debates. The " a cured" and " overwhelming" majority in the Commons, which the Palmerston party were anti cipating so vauntingly a day or two since, has evidently become something more than doubtful. Last night • considerable body of the Independent Liberals held an impromptu eneeVng in the smoking-room of the lionse. ;and resolved—to the number, as we are informed, of more than fifty—to support the Government against Mr. Cardwell's resolution. The example will be followed, In a'l probability, by many other representatives, who( though sitting on the Opposition benches, %ill decline to pi-rticiptite in a movement so transparently faction(' as that in which the member for Oxford has consented to become the fugletnan. The Palmerston camp is in • state of intense excitement and alarm. A defeat in th• House of Commons this evening would destroy their WO chance of office, and there are many appearances th at they will be defeated, unless they exerci se th e discretion of first running away. In the Peers the result id not doubtful. Lord Derby is certain of a signal victory,y' Morning Chronicle.
