There is one thing very certain, that there is no glorying over the unwelcome reception which the policy of Earl RUSSELL has met with in the Island. We have had enough, and more than enough of con cealment, calumnies, and untruths disseminated in England since the first intelligence of the out break reached us, but here the negro apologists must stay. All contending parties have met in unison to express their sympathy - with Mr. EYRE, their indignation at his treatment, and their convic tion of his " triumphant acquittal." If this is not in a great measure conclusive evidence against the course pursued by our mistaken authorities at home, we do not know what is. At auy rate it is to be rejoiced at that the news brought by this mail should have reached this country some days prior to the meeting of Parliament. Ministers will have to meet the house with a very dark cloud hanging over them. People are fond enough of talking of the necessity that exists for a strict inquiry to take place into all matters connected with the outbreak, but it may with more truth and greater force be retorted that the examination should begin at home. Let the Government be called to strict account for the course they have taken in thus prematurely judg ing the matter, and, above all, let no excuses of delay be tolerated. The system of putting off was the " dodge" tried in the affair of Denmark, and, to some extent, successfully. The session was far ad vanced before anything was said officially of the course events were taking, but it must not be so in the case of Jamaica. The question should come be fore all others, and if Ministers think to hoodwink the members with their new Reform Bill, and thus give the Jamaica affair the go-bye until a convenient season- arrives, they will find out their mistake. Hush it up as they may, glaze it over as they will, this has now become the question of the day. It concerns interests and embraces topics which are of far more weight and importance than any mere po litical changes, taken in the abstract, can ever be ; and it is because of the vast interest attaching to the matter that we would draw particular attention to the news received by this mail which has just arrived. The reports given of the conduct of the blacks is striking testimony as to the ill-advised course pursued by the Government. The negroes were exulting openly and calling out thit they would have justice now, for a new Governor had come. Indeed some went so far as to say openly that Governor EYRE was to be hanged, and the chief authorities sent to the Penitentiary. Can any one continue in doubts as to the mischief that must be produced by such a tone of mind prevailing among the negroes ? At any time it would be bad enough, but in the present dissafected state of the island it is most pernicious, and must be productive of serious consequences. It is stated that the grossest exaggeration has prevailed in England respecting the proceedings in Jamaica, and the Special Correspondent of the Times speaks most strongly on this point. He stn tor t.1,..•4- 4--I.:___ •• .. . , . were not more than 400 negroes shot, hanged, or slain by the Maroons, and 500 is quite an outside estimate. When we compare this with the "miles of dead bodies" and the "slain are counted by thousands," we may form some tolerably correct notion of the truthfulness and information of the members of the faction who made Exeter Hall ring with their voci ferations and denunciations of the innocent blacks, and the crimes of the dastardly and cos ardly whites. We are not surprised at the account given of the indignation expressed at the conduct of that section in England who have raised the senseless outcry. They state that the difficulties of the Governor's position have not been appreciated, neither have these fault-finders suffi ciently realised the dangers to which the colonists were exposed. Every one agrees as to the immi nency of the peril to which the white inhabitants were exposed ; the blacks at Kingston did not con ceal their delight when they heard of the occurrences at Morant Bay, and it was easy to see from their manner that they were ripe for rebellion themselves if the opportunity presented itself. The colonists also declare that the exaggerated stories which gained credence in England had no foundation,or, if any, such a small portion of truth prevailed, that it was quite hidden by the false hoods attached to it. GORDON'S speeches in the Legislative Assembly were often most virulent, and contained passages well calculated to impress the negroes and inflame their evil passions. One of these extracts is worthy of especial notice : " I have never seen an animal more voracious for cruelty and power than the present Governor of Jamaica ;" and again he asserted that "if they were much longer tube governed by such a Governor, the people would have to fly to arms and become self-governing." It is also desirable to men tion that GORDON spoke for two hours in his defence before the court-martial, and that men of note who have perused all the evidence declare that it is " strong and coitelusive." As for the state ment made in GORDON'S last letter—that he knew nothing of PAUL BOGLE, that is everywhere de clared to be false, and proofs in abundance are fortly.:oming to prove the falsehood. A Bible was found in PAUL BOGLE'S chapel in Stoney-gut, which bore the inscription—" Presented by GEORGE W. GORDON to Mr. PAUL BOGLE, with good wishes." It is of consequence to state that the full evidence upon which GORDON was convicted has been kept back in Jamaica, but that some notes by a local reporter have been sent to England, and these cannot be considered a fair exposition of the case, because some of the chief points relied on for the prosecution are not mentioned in them. We find that an address to Mr. EYRE is being largely signed throughout the colony, and is of the same effect as many others, to declare the conviction of his merit, and the deep sense that is entertained of the injustice which he has received in many quarters. They, the undersigned, express their " deep indignation" at the tone assumed by some Public men and public writers in England ; and also declare that they deeply regret that " there could be of al political din England men who, for th e sa k e political capital out colonists of will not hesitate to make rebellion and murder ; but they declare th at the vast m a j or ity, no t on l y o f Englishme n , b ut also the rest of th e c i v ili se d wor ld , will go in with th e of Jamaica in sympathy with the Governor and the military, naval, civil, and volunteer authorities during this momentous crisis.

We have at last received intelligence of the arrival of Sir HENRY STORKS in Jamaica, and the effect produced by it was precisely what might have been anticipated. Fortunately Governor EYRE was not taken by surprise, for the news of his suspension reached him by way of New York. Everywhere the greatest doubts and dismay seem to be spread through the island, and from many quarters we hear forebodings of the evil effects that the change will produce. Already the most decided opinions are expressed concerning the injustice done to the Governor, and those who before most strenuously o pposed him are now foremost to denounce the in justice with which he has been treated. The remarks of the Colonial Standard are especially wor thy of notice. This journal staatedsmtihnaisttriattihonas, been the opponent of M r . EY RE's but that much as it would have rejoiced at his re call under other circumstances, it now conceives the act of his suspension to be ill judged and ill advised. It states that the intelligence received by this mail is calculated to " cause sur prise and sorrow, as well as to awaken the deepest feelings of apprehension among the colo nists." This is just what impartial persons said before in this country when first Lord RUSSELL'S ill-judged and ill-advised decision was made known ; but it is a satisfaction to have it ratified by those who are well qualified to pass an opinion. If any vestige of shame remains in the members of our Government, they must blush for their mean and uznitilY COAdUct is l viii thugncriAcoci tinix THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY TEVENING, JANUARY 30, 1866. affords the best and most conducive answer to the extravagant remarks and exaggerated accounts of those who have been so busy in their defence of demagogues and fanatics. The arrival of the Canada, from New York on the 18th, brings us general news of interest if not of great importance. The principal feature in the intelligence concerns the efforts made by certain parties to stir up the popular feeling in the States against this country, efforts which, happily, proved less mischievous than their instigators hoped or expected. The laconic and decided terms in which their wishes or intentions are expressed would be almost amusing were it not for the gravity of the question and the momentous interests with which it deals. The words of the resolution which Mr. CHANDLER introduced into the Senate were few but emphatic. " Whereas England refuses to settle the Alabama claims, the PRESIDENT is requested to withdraw the American Minister from England, and issue a proclamation of national non-intercourse." Fortunately, the American Senators were not pre pared to take such a plunge in niedias res, and thought it was rather a different thing to indulge in a little wholesome abuse of the Britisher from be ginning a war with England, while the American relations with France were still unsettled, and while the national finances were not altogether in a flourish ing condition. Even allowing for a good deal of forbearance and inaction on the part of the English Government and people, and supposing that a little display of bluster and pretension might be quietly overlooked, what would the commercial men of both countries say to " national non-inter course ?" So wise and enlightened a motion would not have been very likely to have gained the sup port of the PRESIDENT, but, happily, it did not go so far. A vote of 25 to 12 " tabled" it, according to the American phrase, or laid it aside ; so that, excepting as a display of the vehemence and extra vagance of certain parties, very little has been effected by Mr. CHANDLER'S resolution. Other matters are quiet enough. The New York Times denies the rumoured Cabinet changes, and the Herald reports that the PRESIDENT is ill, but not seriously so. Mr. JOHNSON'S responsibilities are certainly arduous and exhausting enough to try any man's strength, but, fortunately, as the angry passions excited by the war die out, and the com mon sense and good feeling of the country obtain a hearing, the public voice is speaking more and more decidedly in support of the general policy of the PRESIDENT. Errors of judgment there may be, and every Government, whatever its course, must naturally offend some party or another, but the wise and conciliatory principles on which Mr. JOHNSON'S dealings with the Southern States are founded cannot fail, on the whole, to commend themselves to every reflecting mind. If the object to be attained is not the temporary triumph or elevation of a political party, but the prosperity and welfare of the whole nation, the Senators and Representatives of the North mast refuse to listen to clamour and denunciation, and must resolutely set themselves to consider the best means of restoring that internal tranquillity and commercial industry which have been so rudely dis turbed. The re-establishment of the old forms of Southern industry will, as Kr. JOHNSON sagaciously pointed out some time since, be the best and most efficacious means of settling troublesome questions. It would give employment and the means of livelihood to the freed negro, and at the same time reopen the channels of com mercial enterprise, and afford the best means to the groat body of the whites to forget or lay aside the recollections of their political troubles. It is a serious loss to the North as well as to the South while the fertile plantations of the Confederacy lay waste and uprofitable, and it is not possible for the whites of tue oouta to remain much longer in their present wretched condition. The reconstruction policy of the. PRESIDENT seems, on the whole, to have worked well, but we are sorry to find the re ported withdrawal of the Federal troops in Georgia and Alabama to be unfounded. An application has, it seems, been made to General GRANT to that effect, but he replied that he could not recommend such a step until there was ample security for the protection of all classes in the late rebellious States. This is a pity, because so long as the presence of foreign troops reminds the Southerners that they are a conquered people, so long will the old feeling of irritation and antagonism be kept up. General GRANT perhaps wisely doubts the propriety of arming the militia while the Federal troops remain in the South. The trial of Mr. DAVIS is still talked about, though nothing has been actually done. In the Senate a resolution has been offered and laid over, recommending the trial of Messes. DAVIS and CLAY by a military commission immediately. Several employes at Fort Monroe have, it is said, been dis missed in consequence of fears that they intended to attempt the rescue of the EX-PRESIDENT. These persons were formerly in the service of the Con federate Government, though how such persons should have been employed in any capacity about a State prisoner is not a little remarkable ! We trust that Mr. JOHNSON may soon see his way suf ficiently clear to escape from his difficult position with regard to the rival Presijents with dignity and magnanimity. It is reported from Toronto that arrangements have been concluded with Washington to continue the Reciprocity Treaty, so it is possible that the merchants and traders of the States have awoke to the injury that will be inflicted on their interests by the rash and foolish measure which was dictated by the Anglo-phobia of certain classes. Commerce sel dom looks much beyond its own concerns, and is not likely to be influenced by political enthusiasm or party feeling. It is to be hoped that the rumour will prove to be well founded, and that the renewal of the Treaty will be the inauguration of a better and more cordial understanding between the two countries. THE THREE CALENDARS REDIVIVUS.—Sir John Lawrence has sent three native agents, disguised as merchants, to explore Central Asia by different routes. Each one is independent of the others, and kept in igno rance of their appointment, so that on their return three independent narratives may be looked for. They are in structed to take note of all that they see, to observe the temper of the different peoples among whom they travel, whether movements are taking place in favour of Russia, and to visit Bokhara, Khokand, and Samarcand before they turn back. MR. GOSCHEN'S MYSTERIOUS RISE, politicians have taken the trouble to explain, says the Saturday Review, by a reference to the agency of Mr. Gladstone. Nothing is more likely than this. There is probably the same sympathy between Mr. Goschen and Mr. Gladstone that there was between Mr. Gladstone and the late Sir Robert Peel. Both nurtured in the chief seats of com merce, and early transplanted to the chief seats of learning —both distinguished for their mastery of classical lore, and their familiarity with questions of trade and finance—they have strong ties of commod interest and common pursuits. It remains to be seen whether the future fame of Mr. Gosehen will fully bear out the parallel which we have in stituted. If it does not, a strongadditional argument against this active influence of Mr. Gladstone will be furnished to those who already recognise the staff of more than one de partment. For, however readily a political party or a civil department may pardon, in a chief so able, so elo quent, and so full of knowledge as Mr. Gladstone, other qualities neither so useful nor so admirable, it is anything but matter of rejoicing for a great public office to see its own permanent staff disarranged to make way for some Gladstone-and-water parasite, who, without a fraction of his great model's eloquence, knowledge, or ingenuity, has all his crotchets, all his waywardness, all his obstinacy, all 1 4 :19 91 cl94lWitti9n. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. Some despatches uad letters from Spain continue to be published, but they are uninteresting, and it is stated in a well-informed quarter that the Spa nish Government is about to abolish the state of siege, at least so far as Madrid is concerned. In that portion of the blue-book which refers to the affairs of Italy there is the following important passage:— " In engaging by the Treaty of the 15th Sept. to respect the independence of the Papacy, the Cabi net of Florence has acquired the adhesion of those Catholic Governments, other than Austria, which still hesitate to cement diplomatic relations with it. Re-assured by this guarantee of its devotion to the Sovereign Pontiff, Spain has recognised Victor Emmanuel. Bavaria has followed this example, and the Treaty of Commerce just concluded between the Zollverein and Italy gives a valuable pledge on behalf of general peace." A. terrible occurrence has taken place at the Lunatic tsylum of S. Pierre, at Marseilles. Three of the patients, in a violent paroxysm of madness, consulted together upon the best mode of murder ing their attendants. They tore away some iron bars fixed round a stove, with which they attacked one of the keepers, and beat him about the head till he was dead. Another keeper, who went to his comrade's assistance, was attacked in the same way and was also killed. There was method enough in the madness of the three men to enable them to take the keys from the pockets of the dead keepers, and they opened another room in order to murder some of the other keepers. The latter, however, escaped and locked the door, so as to prevent the egress of the madmen. The attendants were thus able to raise an alarm, and the three mad murderers were secured. M. Blonde], one of the judges of the Tribunal of Arbois, in the Department of the Jura, has just died from hydrophobia. It is now two years since he was bitten by one of his own dogs while out shooting. The most brilliant ball of the season was given on Saturday, by Count de Goltz at the Prussian Em bassy, in the Rue de Lille, formerly the residence of Prince Eugene de Beauharnais. The saloons are very capacious, but it was with difficulty they con tained the vast assemblage of fashionables invited. The Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern arrived about half-past 10. The Princess was dressed very simply in a gown of white tulle, and wore a wreath of white camellias in her hair. The Emperor and Empress entered the balroom at 11. Her Majesty , was also dressed very plainly in white, and her dia dem of diamonds was interspersed with white lilac flowers. The Emperor was in black, the Court being in mourning for King Victor Emmanuel's son, and wore the grand cordon of the Black Eagle. The Emperor danced with the Princess and the Empress with the Ambassador. The quadrille of honour wa s made up by Prince Hohenzollern and Madame de Metternich, Prince Metternich and Madame Aguado, the rich banker'o. wife. A supper was served at one o'clock and another at two o'clock. Dancing was prolonged till four o'clock on Sunday morning. The following is the progress of population in Paris and the three other considerable cities of France within 40 years, viz., from 1820 to 1861, when the last census was taken : 1820. 1861. Paris 713,765 ... 1,696,141 Lyons Bordeaux 92,374 ... 162,750 Marseilles According to a letter from Lithuania, the number of exiles from the provinces of Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ulivaine amounts to no less than 200,000. The dioceses of Wilna and Samogita furnish a con tingent of 150 priests as exiles ; that is to say, the fifth of the total number of Catholic priests in those two dioceses. The Siecle states that the new Minister of Jus tice, in Belgium, M. Bava, is about to propose to the Chambers the abolition of the punishment of death. The Monde, a Belgian journal, having argued that for the safety of society it is absolutely necessary to retain the punishment, the Siecle retorts upon that journal very 6-4- 1 - • te TT_ ,Liampion of the Church and the scaffold conforms to the maxim that ' the Church has a horror of blood.' " At a sale of some furniture belonging to a decayed merchant the other day, a gentleman bought a desk, for which he paid 57f. When it was sent home the purchaser opened a secret drawer, in which he found gold to the amount of 3,000 f. Ile sought the gentleman to whom the desk belonged, and, with equal kindness and delicacy, made him the offer of the desk and its contents, an offer which was accepted mith much gratitude. A marriage has just taken place in Paris under romantic circumstances. A few years ago a rich merchant of the Faubourg du Temple was returning home from the fête of St. Cloud, when he met a man and a young girl of 14, who implored charity in such eloquent and unusual language, at least in the mouths of beggars, that he questioned the father, who said they were in the most frightful misery, arising from unfortunate circumstances entirely beyond their control. The gentleman was much interested in the story, and learning that it was a true one, he took the father into his house of busi ness in Paris. He also placed the daughter in a school at Romainville,where her education, suddenly interrupted, was carefully attended to. On Friday the young and interesting beggar girl became the rich merchant's wife, and in the course of the day he and his newly-married bride visited the interesting spot where they first met. The Prince Imperial has just made a present of a handsome boat to the Central Society established to give assistance in cases of shipwreck. It has been stated that the Queen of the Sand wich Islands had left France on her return home. This is not the case. Her Majesty went to Hyares in the South of France, with the view of recruiting her health in that salubrious locality ; but a letter from that town says that it is by no means re established. On the contrary, her Majesty's health is now in a very unsatisfactory state. MR. GLADSTONE ON THE NEW REFORM BILL. — The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in acknowledging the receipt of the memorial adopted at the working men's Reform meeting recently held at Bradford, has transmitted a letter, in which the right hon. gentleman says he " begs to assure the memorialists that her Majesty's Government aro examining the question with a full sense of its impor tance, and they will consider themselves bound to support, with determination, any proposals which it may be their duty to make in a matter of such vital importance to the community at large." SEVENTEEN HIGHLY INTERESTING AUTOGRAPH LETTERS OF LORD BYRON are to be sold by Messrs. Sotheby next week. They are mostly addressed to Mr. J. Hodgson, and contain numerous passages which have not yet boon published. One, for instance, contains this rather plain confession :—" I hope you will find me an altered personage ; I do not mean in body, but in manner, for I begin to find out that nothing but virtue will do in this world. I am toler a bly sick of vice, which I have tried in its agreeable varieties, and mean, on my return, to cut off all my dissolute acquaintance, leave off wine and carnal company, and betake myself to politics and de corum." In another letter, dated Athens, he says :—" I am living alone in the Franciscan Monastery, with a Capuchin friar, a bandy-logged Turkish cook, two Al banian savages, a Tartar, and a dragoman." Respecting his speech in the House of Lords, he remarks:—" I have had many marvellous eulogies repeated to me since, in person and by proxy ; of these I shall only mention Sir F. Burdett. He says, 'lt is the best speech by a lord since the Lord knows when !'" THE PLEASURES OF INSECTS. — lnsects must gene rally lead a jovial life. Think what it must be to lodge in a lily ! Imagine a palace of ivory or pearl, with pillars of silver and capitals of gold, all exhaling such a perfume as never arose from human censer ! Fancy, again, the fun of tucking yourself up for the night in the folds of a rose, rocked to sleep by the gentle sighs of a summer's air, and nothing to do when you wake_ but to wash youself in a dewdrop and fall to and eat your bedclothes. A letter is published from Victor Hugo to Madame George Sand. The popular novelist wrote to the poet to announce the birth of her little granddaughter Aurora, to which she received the following reply : Cette donee Aurore qui luit Vient h point dans notre ciel sombre ; A nous deux nous sommes la nuit, Vous etes I'astre et je suis l'ombro.

A light tax has been ordered to be levied upon all vessels entering Roman ports. SPAIN. MADRID, JAN. 29 (Evening). The draft of the address of the Congress in reply to the Queen's speech was read to-day. In refer ence to the Italian question, it says :—" We appre ciate the motives based on the permanent interests of the nation which determined your Majesty to recognize Italy. We rejoice in the conviction that the sentiments of respect and devotion which we entertain towards the common Father of the Faith ful have not diminished, and that the firm intention of your Majesty to watch over the temporal power of the Pope is maintained." MEXICO. Private letters from New Orleans confirm the capture of Bagdad on the sth by a Federal regi ment of coloured infantry-. Colonel Davis, their commander, seized some skiffs, wherein he crossed the Rio Grande, and captured and sacked Bagdad, killing numerous persons. Three hundred pri soners were also taken, half of whom subsequently turned Liberal, and formed the garrison of the town, the attacking force then disappearing. On receiving this intelligence Generals Crawford and Escobedo immediately started for Bagdad, and the former arriving first assumed the command. General Weitzel refused to allow any one to cross the river until Escobedo arrived. Escobedo requested of Weitzel 200 men to preserve order, and the request was granted. A French corvette shelled the town all through the 6th without damage. A conflicting despatch says that Escobedo, the commander of the post, had only about a dozen re liable men in Bagdad, the remainder having joined Crawford, who had them on board the steamer which was tied to the bank of the river at Bagdad. The Herald's correspondent from the city of Mexico states that on the 3d the Republicans cap tured Toluca six miles from the capital. All the imperial forces at the capital under Marshal Bazaine had left to recapture Toluca. FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 30. The Corps Legislatif has confirmed the elections of MM. Larrabure and Fremy.

ARRIVAL OF THE I'VIORAVIAN. (Via Greencastle.) The following are the heads of the news brought by the Moravian : NEW YORK, Jan. 20 (Evening). The House of Representatives have passed the bill granting unconditional negro suffrage in the district of Columbia by a vote of 116 to 54. General Sheridan - has telegraphed from New Orleans disavowing all knowledge of the attack on Bagdad. He has ordered all his subordinates to preserve strict neutrality, and disbelieves the popu lar account of the affair, which he considers a sen sation story. The Federal Government has relieved the pro visional Governor of Florida and has recognised the Governor elect. The Fenian Senate have called their Congress to assemble at Pittsburg on the 19th February to de termine the military measures to be adopted. Twelve ex-Federal military officers have returned from Ireland and reported to the Senate that the people there were powerless without arms, and were complaining of O'Mahony's policy. The officers were compelled to return to America, fearing arrest. A correspondence has been published between Generals Weitzel, Crawford, and Mejia concerning the execution of captured Mexicans by Mejia. Weitzel, replying to Crawford's protest, says he had notified Mejia of the opinion held by the Federal Government on the subject, that he would again communicate with the Federal Government on the subject, but had positive orders not to commence hostilities without instructions so to do. Mejia refused to notice WeitzePs protest concern ing the internal affairs of Mexico. The Nova Scotta has arrived out, The Asia has arrived at Halifax. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

It appears that the statement recently made by a Mobile paper that national troops were to be entirely withdrawn at once from the South was unauthorised and incorrect. It is now reported that General Grant, in response to appli cations !for their immediate withdrawal, states that he would not recommend such a step until there is ample security for all classes; and he doubts the propriety of arming the State militia while the national troops re main. The following despatch from Senator Verger, of Mis sissippi, at Washington, to Cloyornor Humphreys of Ws State, would, however, seem to indicate that the troops are not retained at the South generally on account of any apprehensions of trouble : "I have had an interview with the President, but with out definate results. General Grant has recommended the withdrawal of all coloured troops, and that white troops shall be left:at the South, and states that the acquiescence in the general Government is so general that the mere pre sence of national troops, without regard to numbers, will be sufficient to maintain order." New Orleans advices state that the difficulty of obtain ing plantation hands still exists in that section. The planters assign as a reason the idleness of the freedmen, while the latter claim that if offered fair wages they are willing to work. Direct steamship lines are to be esta blished between New Orleans and Liverpool, and New Orleans and France. The Third Michigan Cavalry has been disbanded for mutiny at San Antonio, Texas. Colonel John S. Mosby has been arrested by order of Secretary Stanton, on a charge of having hung two Fede ral soldiers during the war, in retaliation for the murder of two of his men. Mosby claims that his arrest is a violation of his terms of surrender. In the Federal Senate, cn the lbth inst., several petitions in favour of an increased protective tariff were introduced, and referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Howard (of Michigan, Republican) offered a joint resolution, consideration of which was postponed, recom mending that Jefferson Davis and Clement C. Clay be immediately brought to trial before a court-martial or military commission for connection with the assassination of President Lincoln and the alleged conspiracy to starve Federal prisoners to death. Mr. Chandler (Republican, of Michigan) called,up a bill, directing the Secretary of State to make out a list of all vessels destroyed by "British pirates in the employ of the rebel Government " Mr. Chandler advised non-intercourse with Great Britain until the bill for damages was paid. lie then offered the following resolution : "Whereas, by recent publication of diplomatic corres pondence, we are advised that Great Britain has refused to repair the damages inflicted on American commerce through the agency of her subjects during the late war, and has de clined to arbitrate, and formally not to hear anything fur ther on the subject ; therefore, Resolved that the President is hereby requested to withdraw our Minister from St. James's, and to make a proclamation of non-intercourse, which is to take effect after such proclamation shall have been issued." Mr. Chandler asked immediate action on the above ; but Mr Dixon objected, and the resolution lies over under the rules. In the House of Representatives, on the 15th instant, a resolution was adopted, advising the repeal of the Govern ment tax of two per cent. ad valor m on the hulls of ves sels as launched. The credentials of several persons claiming seats as members from Arkansas were presented, and referred to the Reconstruction Committee. On motion of Mr. Darling, it was resolved that the Judiciary Committee be instructed to report upon the ex pediency of amending the naturalization laws, so as to provide that all persons before taking the oath to support the Constitution of the United States, shall be required to read intelligently said Constitution. A resolution was offered by Mr. Bromall (of Pennsyl vania) and tabled by a vote of 138 to 12, declaring that as white men had decided by the ballot-box in the district of Columbia, that in their opinion, negroes should not be allowed to vote, the District Committee be required to re port upon the expediency of ordering an election in the said district, at which blacks should decide, by ballot, whether in their opinion the white men of the district should have the right of suffrage. Mr. Kasson (of Iowa) replied to the charges recently published in a New York journal that the widow of Presi dent Lincoln had carried away from the Executive man sion property belonging to the Government. Mr. Kasson denounced the statement as a gross and cruel slander, and said that it had been fully ascertained that nothing had been taken except an article, valued at $l5O, which was especially associated with the memory of her husband, and was removed with the knowledge and advice of the Secre tary of the Interior and other officials. A stock company in Charleston, organised during the war for the prosecution of the blockade-running business, recently published a statement of dividends made payable, whereupon the United States Treasury officials caused the seizure of the officers, assets, books, &c., of the company. The affair has been referred to Washington for adjudica tion. A rumour was recently circulated that a desperate plot had been formed to release Jefferson Davis. Additional precautions have been taken to secure his captivity. Boats patrol the bay during the night, and stronger guards are on the outposts. Mr. Davis is still allowed all the freedom and indulgence compatible wth his secure custody, and is said to be in excellent health and spirits, and very anxious to be brought to trial. It is said that the Free Trade League has made great progress at the West, in which section a strong movement is about to be made against the present high protective tariff. Western Congressmen are said to have already been in caucus on the subject. ""• Dirlrn”- -Lt“ give a Myddelton Hall, Islington, to-morrow in aid of the funds of a local charity. PATENT-OFFICE MUSEUM, SOUTH KENSINGTON.— Number of visitors for the week ending Jan. 27, 2,009. Total number since the opening of the Museum free daily (12th May, 1858), 999,170. The French Academy of Inscriptions and Belles- Lettres, in its !ast sitting, proceeded to elect a member in the /place of M. Leclerc, deceased. Out of 36 votes, M. d'Avezac received 19, M. Guessard 13, and M. Leblant 4. M. d'Avezac was consequently declared duly elected. The Chevalier Nigra, by the spontaneous direc tion of his Sovereign, Victor Emmanuel, has just delivered to M. Auber the insignia and brevet of Officer of the Order of Sts. Maurice and Lazarus. A TIGER LOOSE IN LONDON.--The thing really happened in 1857, as some will recollect. An animal dealer was unshipping a consigned tiger in the London Docks, when a board in Its den gave way, and out came the liberated beast. A poor little boy, about nine years old, walked up to the tiger, taking it for a big dog, and began patting her. The tiger turned, seized the boy by his shoulder, and galloped down the street, carrying the boy in her mouth as a cat carries a mouse ; the animal-dealer, Jamrach, holding on to the tiger all the time. Mr. Buck land tells the whole story in his new work, " The curiosi ties of Natural History." AN IRISH ANTIQUARY of some celebrity has just died in Dublin--Dr. Petrie, the author of the " Round Towers of Ireland." He was born in 1791, and his original profession was that of a painter, but his tastes were more for literature and antiquarian studies, and when an opportunity afforded, he abandoned the brush and the pallette for the pen. His Essay on the Round Towers gained him the gold medal of the Royal Irish Academy. He afterwards gained a prize from the same critical body for his Essay ou the Military Antiquities of Ireland. Many interesting facts relative to the Cyclopean architecture of Ireland's earliest inhabitants were given in this. He was afterwards engaged on the historical and antiquarian sec tions of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland. Of Irish native music, which many years since was so successfully treated of by Mr. Hardman in his work, Dr. Petrie is said to have left a very valuable collection—for the most part unpub lished. The deceased gentleman's ?Mends, we believe, in tend making some arrangements for publishing these in teresting materials. MACLISE ort LANDSEER.—Many academicians who desired the election of Mr. Maclise ascertained the feelings of that artist on the subject, according to the Athenaeum, and received the most unhesitating assurances that he would not accept the position if it were offered to him ; his desire is , to give all his life and energies to paint ing. All who know Mr. Maclise accept this decision as final, and would grudge every hour that might be diverted from the execution of such works as the "Nelson" and " Wellington" pictures at Westminster. THE IDENTITY OF THE SWELL CASITAL !—Upou the subject of the " Night in a Workhouse," the " Flaneur" of the Star recently remarked :—" The curiosity as to the personality of the writer is not confined to the members of the literary craft—it permeates society, and amongst the ignorant the wildest guesses are made. It must have been some regular literary man,' says Jones to his clique, and then away go the guesses. Mr. Charles Dickens—' just like Dickens ;" Mr. Hollingshead—' man that went into the sewers, you know ;' Mr. Thos. Hughes —'says he put on a bird's-eye handkerchief for a nightcap —Hughes is bald, you know' (I heard this gravely put for ward in evidence !) ; Mr. Anthony Trollop; Mr. James Hannay—' write every night in the Pall Mall you know.' Not a bit like your regular literary hack,' says Brown to his coterie; some fresh man, full of observation ;' and to these there is no doubt of the description having been written by Lord Milton, or Lord Ashley (Lord Shaftes bury's son), or "Jacob Omnium," sir.' (Ye gods ! how much of J. O.'s noble person would have been covered by an ordinary workhouse shirt ?) 'Joshua Mason, engraver, of Hammersmith, aged 29,' is the entry in the casual book of Lambeth Workhouse : and my own notion is, that if for the first three words of that entry you read 'James Green wood, author,' you will not be far off the mark. Mr. James Greenwood has written many descriptive papers of curious experiences of thieves, tramps, Jews, &c., in the old days of the Illustrated Times, and has always shown great talent for reproducing his impressions in a thoroughly vraisem blable manner. If it be, he has now taken a grand step in advance, and deserves all imaginable kudos for the extra ordinary pluck which carried him through his task, - and the vivid style in which ho has described his expe riences." A YOUNG POET'S WIDOW.—A subscription has been started in favour of Mrs. J. Stanyau Bigg, the widow of a young writer, who some years ago published a poem called "Night and the Soul." Six children in the family of Mr. Garrison, of Waterloo, Wisconsin, have died within a short time from drinking the milk of a cow which had been bitten by a made dog—the virus remaining in her system, whey all suffered most terrible spume, HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Monday. The Queen and royal family walked and drove this morning in the grounds. Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Staffordshire. TRENTHAM, Monday. The present visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales to the seat of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland is affording their royal highnesses so much real enjoyment that yes terday evening it was resolved that the stay s hould be extended longer than was a t fi rs t i n t en ded. This al teration led to the supno s iti on th a t the original arrangement would be carr i e d ou t, an d that their royal highnesses would pay a v i s it t o the Potteries. With this conviction the wo r k s o f M e ssrs. Minton , Hollins, and Co., the manu f ac t urers o f Venetian, encaustic, and mosaic pavements, at the neighbour ing town of Stoke-upon-Trent, have been surrounded during he day with a crowd of very patient and loyal Staffordshire people, who were eager to o btain a glimpse of the prince and princess, but they wer e doomed to disappointment. To make up for this disappointment it is expected that the Prince of Wales will shortly revisit the Potteries for the pur pose of laying the foundation stone of a new infir mary at Stoke-upon-Trent. A " meet" of the North Staffordshire hunt took place this morning, and was attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis of Stafford, Lady Con stance Grosvenor, the Earl of :..lrewsbury and Tal bot, Lady Georgiana Talbot, Lady Adelaide Talbot, Lord Richard Grosvenor, the Earl of Lichfield, Lord Bagot, Lord Ronald Gower, Hon. H. L . Bourke, and the leading gentry and nobility of North Staffordshire. The " field" of horsemen numbered at least 200, and a great many ladies in carriages, the pedestrians numbering some hund reds more. The meet was at Barlaston Hall, the seat of Mr. R. T. Adderley, a prominent object on the crown of the hill opposite the Monument Hill. Their royal highnesses will terminate their visit at the ducal residence to-morrow morning, and w ill proceed to Sandringham House, whence the princ e and princess will proceed to town on the 3d or sth proximo.
