The intelligence brought by the Canada dates down to the 17th of this month, and is full of inci dent if not of great events. The general aspect of affairs is, on the whole, favourable for the North, though the friends of Southern independence have as yet no reason to despair. The direction of military affairs is in the hands of a very able general, but the best of generals is hampered in his movements by scarcity of troops, and the Confede lutes are now suffering from the refusal to enlist "eir negroes. if ad they reinforced their armies - with black black soldiers some time back, how different, their present position might have been ! Still there are two points which it is very necessary for the reader to bear in mind—one, that all news c omes to us at present b y means of New York, so that Northern feeling colours it ; and the other that the South has been employing for some time a system of strategy which entails the renunciation of several hardly-contested points. The old joke about retreating " for strategic reasons" may be quoted literally with reference to the recent proceedings of the Confederates. It is probable, indeed, that the system of evacuation may be carried a step further, and that Richmond itself may be abandoned. Such a course seems to be in dicated by President DAVIS'S message to the Southern Congress, which was to have adjourned on the 11th, but which, at his request, extended its session a few days in order to receive a communica tion of importance which he said he had to make to them. It is very likely that this communica tion related to the abandonment of the capital, which has been under discussion for some time past in certain quarters, and which LEE may think it advisable to carry into effect at this junc ture. SHERIDAN has succeeded, after his encounter with EARLY, in pushing on to Charlottesville, an important station on the Virginia railway. There he broke up the railway from that town to Lynch burg, and destroyed the locks and cut the banks of the James River Canal, inflicting great damage. He afterwards destroyed an aqueduct of the canal at Beaver Dam, 20 miles from Richmond. The chief injury thus inflicted upon the Confederates is the destruction of one of their channels of supply in the James River Canal. Lynchburg, fortunately for the Confederates, remained in their hands, the fortifications being too strong for attack, though SHERIDAN advanced to them. SHER3LkN'S movements are at length accounted for. He has arrived at Fayetteville on the Cape Fear River, and has succeeded in sending scouts to Wilmington, about 70 miles distant. The Chicka mauga had been sunk across the channel of Cape Fear River, 40 miles from the city, which prevented communication by water. Boats were, upon the receipt of this intelligence, at once despatched to remove the obstruction, and open up the channel of communication with SHERMAN, so that he will reap the advantage of the Federal possession of Wil-, mington. Grant received a letter from him, dated Fayetteville, the 12th inst., in which he stated that his army was in good condition, and had met with no serious reverse. The Confederate General HAMPTON attacked KILPATRICK'S cavalry in the rear and captured his staff. KILPATRICK, however, recovered himself, and succeeded in recapturing much of what he had lost. We do not learn this from SHERMAN, but from the bearer of the de spatches. Had the attack been made by the Federals upon their antagonists with similar results, we sus pect we should have heard of a great victory. SHERMAN liaß now, it would seem, moved to Golds boro', with the evident design of advancing still further northwards and combining with GRANT. There has been an encounter between BRAGG and the Federals at Kinston, North Carolina, which is differently reported. LEE states that the Federals were driven back three miles, with the loss of 1,500 prisoners, three cannon, and many killed and wounded, while the Confederate loss was small. SCHOFIELD, who arrived on the spot the next day, reports that BRAGG was beaten in a renewed attack two days later, and was retreating across the Neuse. It is said that reinforcements from JOHNSTON'S army are being sent to BRAGG. „ With reference 43 . k12.,e Canadian question we have that there is a rumour afloat to the effect that a Federal commissioner has been for some weeks at Montreal trying to ascertain the feelings of the people respecting the union of Canada to the United States. Such an annexation would certainlybe very hear the burden of the enormous national debt of the States ! One of the great blessings of a young colony is supposed to be its freedom from the heavy rates and taxes of an older country, and we should hardly suppose the aspect of American finance was attractive enough to induce the Cana dians to forego this privilege. It is evident, how ever, that the Confederation scheme has not been set on foot too soon, for though the Federal Commissioner may very possibly be untrue, yet the fact of such a rumour finding its way to the public journals shows that the idea iinot new to the American mind. The old storyof the kingwho sentenced the cour tier to death, because the latter dreamed he had killed him, suggests to us a similar reflection to that upon which his despotic MAJESTY acted. If the annexa tion of Canada had never been thought of, such a story would hardly have arisen from empty air. Meanwhile, we are glad to see the Canadians are showing a proper readiness for self-defence, having voted a million dollars for the permanent defence of the country, and 350,000 dollars for the Volunteers on the frontier. Our Government will, it is to be hoped, come forward liberally and promptly, and if such an undertaking is to be carried out at all, it should be done quietly and thoroughly. It is something very new to find anything con nected with the management of Unions or the administration of the Poor-law satisfactory, but the ' large majority which last night decided in favour of the second reading of Mr. VILLIERS'S Bill is cer tainly a step in the right direction. The right hon. gentleman had to encounter great opposition, but he set forth his proposals at the beginning with so much clearness that it seems strange that he met with so little favour from some quarters. It is evident that so long as the system of " parochial liability" is retained there can be little done in the way of amicable arrangement, or of satisfactorily settling the complicated workings of the system. The plan hitherto pursued is the occasion of great confusion, for one parish naturally endeavours to shift the burden of maintaining the poor to another equally unwilling to incur the risk, and hence arise endless squabbles and constant bicker ing, while, of course, the interests of the poor fall to the ground, and many wretched applicants are driven forth without shelter, and sometimes fall victims to this false legislation. Sir R. KNIGHTLEY'S amendment was merely a put off to gain time, and represented the feelings of those who dislike any thing in the way of legislation for the poor, and always think it something grand to gain time in the way of all improvements suggested. As for the plea that by next session a better knowledge would be had of the affair, it was quite untenable, because enough is known now to enable those who are will ing to enter on the subject ; and those who do pot wish to do so will always find some pretext, or make some very plausible excuse to deprecate criticism and satisfy their purpose. As for any measure that may be introduced filling the Union workhouses to repletion, that is quite an unnecessary alarm, for the experience of all time shows that there exists an invincible repugnance to entering the Unions among all classes of the poor and destitute, and that they will put up with every kind of privation rather than come within the hated precincts of the workhouse. There cinbe no more groundless complaint made than this, and it is really surprising that any one should attempt now- THE KIN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1865 a ads.; rs, when so many repeated instances have been add uced, to testify to its falsity. Perhaps if the disc ussion had been put off until next Ses sion, as some so earnestly desired, other quesfa'ons of paramount importance of a foreign or a domestic nature might have arisen to the allusion of these topics altogether. Hence the op vortunity of being of use to the most unfor tunat e portion of society would have been hope- lessl y deferred, and at all events indefinitely post pone dto the detriment of important interests, and the i ajury of the community in many respects. Mr. VILL lERS dwelt at some length upon the harm that was o ccasioned in many cases by the tendency that now - existed to keep the poor down, which meant " keeping the poor" out of certain parishes in order to avoid the chargeability thus ensuing. Dwellings are pulled down, and new cottages are not built, however ranch they may be required, to obviate the danger of this dreaded parochial liability. It does not need much time and trouble to show that such a state of things is bad in the extreme, and any measure which promises to avert this evil or even to remove it partially, must contain sterling merits, and lay claim to respect and consideration. Providing for the poor by compulsion is always so ungracious a task, that every possible device is re- sorted to with the object of eluding the vigilance of the law, and shirking the responsibility which it enforces. Another bad effect of the present system Mr. VILLIERS showed to be, that people were al- ways considering who was likely to come upon the rates, and thus the idle and worthless often obtain employment before the steady and sober of the lower orders. Perhaps the worst feature of the existing law is that the labourers are so frequently compelled to reside at a great distance from their places of employment, and to walk and frequently lose two hours a day in getting to and from their work. They also are obliged, from want of proper accommodation, to reside in places quite unsuitable for them, which again furnishes us with an irrefragible proof of the necessity for a change. A medical gentleman has /made a report to the Privy Council as to the " cottage accommodation" through the land, which will, said Mr. VILLIERS, " be read with surprise and sorrow by every one in the country." It appears from this statement that there are no fewer than eight hundred parishes in which the number of houses have diminished, so that the evils are evi dently not exaggerated which are complained of. It is to be feared that the pictures drawn in "Sybil" of the homes of the English labourers are still cor red% ones, and that Lord MARNEY may serve as the prototype of many landlords when he says, " I build no cottages, and I destroy all I can." All that tends to put a stop to such mischievous tendencies must surely be worthy of welcome, and there is no valid reason why Mr. VILLIERS' bill may not in a great degree at least conduce to the satisfactory settlement of these vexed questions, and obviate partly, if not entirely, many awkward matters of dispute. Sir W. JOLLIFFE showed that this mea sure was not a sudden attempt, as some supposed, to make a startling alteration, but had, on the con trary, been expected for some time, and in a great degree forestalled by many previous changes. There is no reason to doubt that the House and the coun try will find the prophecy of this passage realised eventually in the workings of the proposed scheme; " when they had boards of guardians acting with out any conflicting interest, and carrying out a uni form system for a common object, then the laws relating to the maintenance of the poor would be better carried out thau they now were." On the whole, it may fairly be considered that the advance in the right direc#on, and that wlien the measure passes into law we may be so fortunate as to find a better and a brighter prospect dawning upon the poor, and a clearer understanding ar rived at of the real nature of the - of providing for the hapless outcasts of society, who are depenuenta ti e ni ,;tic Kenef so grudg ingly doled out to them by their fellow-countrymen. At all events, it is worth while to make the trial, and we can safely affirm that so bad and insufficient have been the arrangements hitherto in vogue that any change must be for the better which removes the evils occurring from the parochial system. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) TEE FEDERAL DIET. FRANKFORT-ON-MAINE, MARCH 28. An extraordinary sitting of the Federal Diet was held yesterday, in which it was resolved, by nine against six votes, that the discussion of the pro posal of Bavaria in favour of the claims of the Duke of Augustenburg should take place on the 6th of April next. ROME, MARCH 27. In a Consistory held to-day, the Pope approved he nomination of 24 bishops. CANADA. QUEBEC, March 11. At about 4 o'clock this morning a division was taken, upon the motion of the Attorney-General West, resulting in a majority of 46, the numbers being respectively—contents, 85; non-contents, 39. Immediately afterwards a further division was taken upon the main question for the Address to her Majesty on the subject of the Union of the colonies, when the contents were 91; non-contents, 33 ; giving a majority of 58 in favour of the New Constitution. Parliament will be prorogued after another week, FRANCE, PARIS, MARCH 28. A decree of the Minister of War, published to day, fixes the amount to be paid for exemption from military service at 2,300 f. for each individual during 1865. The Constitutionnel of this morning declares that the rumour of the approaching marriage of the King of Greece is a pure invention. PARIS, MARCH 27. In to-day's sitting of the Corps Legislatif, N Emile 011ivier, in speaking of the late elections said that he saw in them the expression of the wishes of the democracy, which rises and triumphs slowly. It does not, however, wish for revolution, but for peace and liberty. The speaker highly eulogised the late Duke de Moray, whose ideas were identical with his own. M. 011ivier preferred social and individual liberty to political liberty, and desired greater freedom for the press, not inter mittent, but permanent. He also wished that the Ministers should be held responsible, and entreated the Government not to remain in its present isolated state, but to prepare men capable of succeeding those now in power by surrounding itself with the youth of the country, which without this is becom ing embittered and perverted by idleness and bad passions. M. 011ivier maintained that Governments fall, not because they are weak, but because they do not know how to yield at the right moment, and said opposition is often the best means of assisting a Government. "If what I ask be granted," he said in conclusion, " I shall support the Govern ment, my dearest wish being that it may endure and perpetuate itself." To-day, in the Corps Ldgislatif, M. Latour Dumoulin advocated Ministerial responsibility and a greater extension of the right of members of the Corps Legislatif to introduce amendments. M. Plichon delivered a speech upon the Roman and Mexican questions. A grand dinner to commemorate the siege of Sebastopol lately took place at St. Petersburg. It was attended by the Grand Duke Nicholas and a great number of officers. Before the company separated, it was decided that a similar dinner should be held every year on the 23d February, the anni versary of the day on which the Russian Council of War resolved to make counter approaches to defend themselves against the Anglo-French armies. A project is at present under consideration in Denmark . for connecting Copenhagen and the Danish islands with the continent by means of a railway. The line would start from the capital and, after crossing the island of Zolland, would pass by means of embankments and bridges, passing by the small islands of Faroe and Bogoe. From Falster, the line would again cross the sea by a bridge to the island of Zolland, whence there would be a commu nication by steam-boats with the isle of Fehmarn, belonging to Holstein, which would be joined to an prni,..4.2..thcnt. A Kiel letter states that MM. Schroeder and Tychsen, who had been arrested for having circu lated an address to the Emperor of the French, have been set at liberty on bail. At the last meeting of the Berlin Association for the Promotion of Industry, the committee an nounced that the library now contains between 50,000 and 60,000 volumes on the different sciences. This library is daily open to the public. The Brussels Chamber of Representatives has just decided on placing the portrait of the late M Lebeau in the gallery of presidents of the Belgian Parlament. An Antwerp journal states that during a high wind which prevailed there the day before yester day a servant girl who was leading a child along the banks of the Campine canal was blown into the water. She and the child were rescued by some boatmen who happened to be at hand. The Voix du Peuple of Ghent (Belgium) states that great excitement was caused in that town two days since by a report that M. Theodore de V , one of the directors of the Bank of Flanders, had absconded, leaving an immense deficit. The authorities immediately put the fugitive's papers under seal and commenced an investigation. It has been ascertained that the deficit does not exceed $160,000, a considerable part of which is covered by the caution money. The Journal de Charleroi says We believe we are in a position to announce that the presumed author of the murder at Favril, near Landrecies, is in the hands of justice, having been arrested on the 23d. He is a relation of the woman Largilliere. An examination of the bodies showed that the blows were inflicted from the left, and the man in custody is left-handed. The prisoner is said to have made a confession." BOURSE, March 27.—The aspect of the market is excellent, and a rise in almost all kinds of Securities has taken place.

A Turin letter, March 23, has the following : " The King is to stop a few days at the palaces in the environs of Turin ; but it appears that his Ma jesty has given up for the present his contemplated excursion in the southern provinces. It is the hereditary Prince, now at Naples, who will visit Sicily, after having inaugurated the railway from Bari to Brindisi. The inauguration of this line, which is to take place in April, will not be of less importance than the visit to the island. The open ing of the new line entirely solves the question of the continuous communication between the Alps and the farthest coast of the Adriatic. Travellers will be able to go direct from Turin, or rather from Susa, which is the Italian frontier village at the de clivity of the Alps, to Brindisi, on the most eastern side of the peninsula. The Italian Government is in negotiation with that of Great Britain for the conveyance of the Indianmails, the new route opened by the railway just completed being the shortest and the most direct." France and Pope Pius IX. The Paris correspondent of the limes thus dis cusses the vexed question as to whether it was General Cavaignac, or Prince Louis Napoleon, who first proffered aid in the name of France to the Head of the Catholic Church, when beleagured in his Palace of the Quirinal by armed insurgents : M. de Laguerroniere having stated in his speech in the Senate during the debate on the Address that General Cavaignac, when head of the Executive in November, 1848, proposed to the National Assembly to send 6,000 troops to Civita Vecchia for the pro- • tectlon of the Pope after the assassination of M. Rossi, and that the Assembly had issued a decree to that effect, M. Bastide, then Minister of Foreign Affairs, has written to the papers denying that statement. He also denies an assertion of M. Chaix d'Est Ange, made also in the Senate, to the effect that the Government of the Republic limited itself to sending to Civita Vecchia a small body of troops to receive the Pope. M. Bastide declares that General Cavaignac did not send " a small body of troops," but only one man—namely, M. Francois Corcelles—as representative of the people to offer hospitality to the Pope ; that not a single soldier was embarked, and that not a single ship set sail for Civita Vecchia. "As for smothering the new born Republic of Rome," adds M. Bastide— " The Government of General Cavaignac, even had it so detestable a thought, could not have done so for a very simple reason—namely, that General Cavaignac's Govern ment ceased to exist on the 20th of December, 1848, and the toman Republic was not proclaimed till the end of February, 1849." M. de Laguerroniere replies to this letter. He disputed the accuracy of M. Bastide's statements, and says : " What I wished to demonstrate was that the protection of the Papacy was so closely connected with our national history and the interest of French policy that no regular Government could repudiateit. Was 'mistaken with regard to Gen. Cavaignac ? If M. Bastide refers to the Moniteur he will see that the official journal supports my view with an authority against which his reminiscences are of no avail. General Cavaignac was so deeply moved by the news of the Roman revolution that he felt it his duty to resolve imme diately on sending a brigade. The news reached the head of the Executive power of the French Republic on the 26th of November. On that very day he gave orders for em- barking troops on board four steam frigates lying at Tou lon, and sent M. de Corcelles to Rome on an extraordinary mission. On the 28th of November he gave an account of these measures to the National Assembly. I admit that in his explanations from the tribune, and in tne instructions given to M. de Corcelles, General Cavaignac justified the despatch of a French brigade to Civita Vecchia by the ne cessity of guaranteeing the safety and the respect of the person of the Holy Father ; but everybody understood that the head of the Executive power had engaged the attitude of France beyond that end. An important debate took place two days later, and the resolutions of General Cavaignac, supported, on the one hand, by Count de Montalembert, Baron Charles Dupin, the Marquis de la Rochejaquelin, M. Poujoulat, and General de Lamoriciere, and combated, on the other, by MM. Ledru-Rollin, Jules Favre, and Quinet, were clearly characterised in that discussion. Lastly, if M. Bastide wishes to be thoroughly informed as to the thought which dictated the act I have related, let him pursue the words of M. Dufaure, then his colleague, as Minister of the Interior, who made the following declaration : " It is essential to secure not only the personal safety, but the moral liberty and free action of the Sovereign Pontiff.' The conclusion of the debate left no doubt as to its bear ing. The National Assembly rejected the order of the day proposed by M. Jules Favre and other members of the Left, which blamed the despatch of a corps d'armee intended to intervene between the Pope and the Roman people, and adopted, by the enormous majority of 480 votes to 63, an other order of the day thus worded : " The Assembly, approving the measures of precaution taken by the Government to assure the liberty of the Holy Father, and reserving its right to take a decision on ulte rior facts, passes to the order of the day.' " This vote is clear enough ; the Assembly approved of the despatch of a corps d'armee, and reserved its liberty of action on the political conduct which the Government might have to adopt with regard to ulterior facts. I was right, therefore, in saying that General Cavaignac had accepted the traditional obligations of French policy. Only I did not render him full justice, for I attributed to the Na tional Assembly an initiative, the honour of which belongs Pius IX. having left Rome for Gaeta, the vessel was coun termanded; but its departure had neverthelessbeen decided on in the manner I have just related." M. Bastide publishes a rejoinder. M. Lagueron niere admits, he says, that General Cavaignac never proposed, and that the National Assembly never decreed, the sending 6,000 men to Civita Vecchia. On this nothing more need be said. As for M. Lagueronniere letting it be understood that Gene ral Cavaignac secretly intended restoring the Pope to Rome, and profiting by the last 15 days of his authority to declare war against the Roman people, he opposes the well-known character of the General " whose intentions are to be sought nowhere but in his own words." Now, these words and acts, as well as the instructions given to the agents of the French Republic, ordinary and extraordinary, may be summed up in a few words—protection to the per son of a fugitive Sovereign, absolute prohibition to all and each to intervene in the internal affairs of the Roman States, submission to the orders of the National Assembly. On. the Assembly alone, as is evident from the quotations made by M. Lague ronniere, devolved the ulterior employment of the troops assembled at Marseilles with a view to pos sible emergencies, but of these troops not a single soldier was embarked. " I will add nothing more," he concludes, " for I have said enough to show that General Cavaignac's Government never had the culpable design of attacking the sovereignty of the Roman people." There is, I believe, a mistake on both sides. As present circumstances gives a fresh interest to what then passed, I may mention my own recollections. After the assassination of Rossi, the Quirinal, where the Pope was at the time, was attacked by a mob, joined by the civic troops, and was defended by some of the Swiss Guards. M. d'Harcourt, the French Ambassador, was authorised by the Pope to ask either for refuge in France, or for assist ance to restore order in Rome. In answer to this, orders were sent by telegram to embark a brigade which was then at Marseilles. It was to sail for Civita Vecchia on board four steamers, which would contain 3,500 men. The instructions given by General Cavaignac's Government to M. de Corselles were that he should proceed at once to Rome as Envoy Extraordinary, the object of his mission being to obtain, in the name of the French Republic, the personal liberty of the Pope if he should find him deprived of it ; that if the Pope expressed a desire to take refuge in France M. de Corcelles was to give him the means of doing so, and at the same time to assure his Holiness that he should find among the French people a reception worthy of them and of him. M. de Corcelles was, moreover, instructed that he was not to interfere in any of the political questions then agitated at Rome, that it devolved on the National Assembly alone to decide what part the republic should take towards the re-establishment of a regu lar government in the States of the Church, but that for the moment his mission was limited to securing the liberty, and respect for the person, of the Pope. On his landing at Civita Vecchia M. de Corcelles was to put himself in communication with M. d'Harcourt, and act conjointly with him within the limits traced by the Govern ment. He was not, however, to land the troops placed at his disposal, unless they were deemed necessary towards the success of his mission ; and that measures were taken to reinforce the brigade if requisite, of which he should be informed, if the National Assembly saw fit to do so. He was again reminded that his mission had no other object for the present than to secure the personal safety of the Holy Father, and in one extreme case his temporary retreat on the French territory ; that he should publicly announce the fact that he was on no account to interfere in the dissensions between the Pope and his people, and that the Republic, "moved by a feel ing which is an old tradition in the French nation, went to the succour of the person of the Pope, but for no other thought." Should anything unfore seen occur, M. de Corcelles was to ask for orders from his Government, and the Government would be guided by the National Assembly. The mission of M. de Corcelles came to nothing, and the troops did not leave Marseilles, for before anything could be done news reached Paris of the Naval and Military Intelligence. The Himalaya screw troopship, Captan E. Lacy, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday morning for Dover, Kingstown, Malta, and Canada, on the round of troop service mentioned in detail in The Sun of yesterday. The Edgar, screw wooden line-of-battle-ship, Capt. G. P. Hornby, flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Sidney Colpoys Dacres, K.C.8., went out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday to Spithead anchorage, under sail. She anchored there to complete her preparations for her forthcoming voyage to Lisbon with the Earl of Sefton and suite. The French steam aviso Averne, Captain Forget, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Calais. Soon after the Averne's arrival Capt. Forget was intro duced to the naval and military authorities by the French Consul at Portsmouth, the Chevalier Vau denbergh. The Averne is expected to sail from Portsmouth this morning for Weymouth and Dart mouth. Her Majesty's old gun, sailing ship Daring was yesterday towed up to Woolwich, from Chatham, to be broken up. The paddlewheel steamvessels Fearless, Locust, and Adder, tenders to the Cumberland, Wellesley, and Pembroke, at Sheerness, Chatham, and Har wich, yesterday arrived at Woolwich in charge of Commander G. J. Hodges, assistant-master atten dant at Sheerness, and accompanied by the Monkey, Bustler, and Widgeon, tenders to the Fisgard at Woolwich. They proceeded to the Victoria Docks, to remove the iron ship Minotaur, 6,621 tons, into the tidal basin, in preparation for her being taken down to Sheerness to-morrow to be completed for sea. Her Majesty's troopship Megaira, Capt. M. B. Dunn, is under orders to sail from Woolwich this morning with victalling and dockyard stores for Rio de Janeiro and Ascension. One sergeant and four artificers belonging to the Woolwich division Royal Marine Light Infantry, having volunteered for ser vice in Ascension, have been provided with a pas sage on board. Various detachments of Royal Marines left Wool wich yesterday for the following named district ships, for Coastguard and Royal Naval Coast Vo lunteer duties, viz., 1 corporal and 29 privates for her Majesty's ship Lion, Capt. Arthur Farquhar, at Greenock ; 29 privates for her Majesty's ship Done gal, Capt. James A. Paynter, at Liverpool; and 29 privates for her Majesty's ship Trafalgar, Captain John Borlase, C. 8., at Leith. Private letters from Lucknow received at Ports mouth yesterday via Marseilles state that her Ma jesty's which hadßegiment,ssth only arrived in under the commanduckowuo! froComl. Hume, Calcutta, a few weeks previous to the date of the letters, had received orders by telegram to start the next morning on its return to Calcutta, in order to join with all despatch the Bhootan field force. The letters mention the rumours of a serious check to our arms at the hands of the Bhooteas as the reason of this sudden recall of the regiment. Previous to the departure of the 55th for India the regiment was stationed in Portsmouth garrison, under the com mand of Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., and was remarkable for its excellent discipline. The following appointments were made yesterdry at the Admiralty :—Lieut. IL C. Wogan, Lieut. C. R. Forrest, Lieut. F. J. Easther, and Lieut. E. liotham to the Rattlesnake. Pope's flight to Gaeta, whence he wrote the follow ing letter to General Cavaignac : "General, —My heart is touched, and lam penetrated with gratitude at the spontaneous and generous sympathy of the eldest daughter of the Church, who showed such eagerness and was already on the way to succour the Su preme Pontiff. A favourable occasion will, no doubt, be offered me of testifying in person to France my paternal feelings, and of being able to bestow with my own hand on the French soil the blessings of the Lord, as 1 now pray that he may bestow them in abundance upon you and upon all France. "Pius PAPA NONUS. " Given at Gaeta, Dec. 7, 1848." The Papal Nuncio at Paris also wrote to the Pre sident of the National Assembly a letter thanking them ,for their sympathy towards the Holy Father. The President replied in a corresponding style to his Eminence : "As the organ of the Sovereignty of the People, the Assembly has responded to the sentiments of the entire nation by testifying its lively and deep sympathy towards the Holy Father. The Republic, which has the right to choose from the traditions of the past, will ever remain faithful to those which make France hospitable to all great misfortunes, and penetrated with veneration and devoted ness to the most noble virtues. The votes of the National Assembly in sanctioning the initiative taken by the Exe cutive must have already conveyed to you the assurance that the illustrious Pontiff wilt, when he visits our Repub lican and Catholic France, meet with all the respect due to his exalted position, and this homage of the heart will be touching and sincere as is all that law and liberty inspire." It is curious enough that the President of the National Assembly who wrote the foregoing was M. Armand Marrast; who, not quite a year before, took, as editor of the Republican newspaper, the Nationale, so leading a part in all questions relating to what was then called the parti pretre, and which is now known as the parti Prussia and Austria. VIENNA, March 24. The Ost Deutsche Post contains the following in teresting article upon the mutual position of the two great German Powers with regard to Schleswig- Holstein : " It is no longer doubtful that our diplomacy has secret plans which occasion the attitude it has taken up. Everyone knows that our Government is thinking of ' compensation,' that direct negotia tions have been entered into upon that subject, and that it is expected Prussia will make the offer. Now this compensation may be of three different kinds. It may consist of a pecuniary indemnity, of a cession of territory, or the reciprocal guarantee of the pos sessions of the two Powers ; that is, in Prussia en gaging to afford Austria armed assistance in the case of an attack upon Venetia in a struggle against Italy and France. "As regards a pecuniary indemnity, it is asserted upon all sides that the Austrian Cabinet energeti cally rejects any such idea ; and we believe it. Apart from the fact that Prussia is not in a position to offer us a pecuniary indemnity considerable enough to counterbalance our renunciation of the co-possession, and, what is of far greater import ance, to compensate for the immeasurable political results which would be inseparable from annexation, it is impossible to credit that Austria would sell her position in Germany and assist in demolishing the Germanic Confederation at the price of a pecuniary indemnity. For the last sixty years we have kept up an army, the cavalry of which is specially intended to protect our position in Germany, inas-, much as that arm is of little use in Italy. This cavalry has cost the Austrian empire upwards of a milliard florins since the Treaties of Vienna ; and is it likely we should now sap our position in Germany for a sum of money, and pave the way for the E i ppremacy of Prussia ? " The idea of territorial indemnity is not less in admissible. The Cologne Gazette fancies it makes a great concession by holding out to us the prospect of giving iup a frontier district of Upper Silesia — Little Poland. What a splendid offer ! And yet this absurd and ridiculous tender infuriates all the Liberal press in Prussia, which overwhelms the edi tor of the Cologne Gazette with a hailstorm of in sults. The truth is that Prussia never intends ceding part of her territory, and the wretched frag ment she might throw to us would not be worth lIMIWANAM9I3 • ing to_ pick u_p. The only com uw. IJe 01 BOW.e vaute sense of the old Metternich traditions would be that of reciprocal territorial guarantee, that is, the guarantee of Venetia. Upon this point we have already often given our opinion. The reciprocal guarantee might well contribute to prevent the breaking out of war, but we absolutely deny that in case such a war should break out Prussia would and could meet her engagements in the manner un derstood at Vienna. Almost all the sections of the national representatives at Berlin are averse to all protection of the Austrian possessions in Italy, and these dispositions would have to be taken into account by every Government at the solemn moment when it desired to precipitate the country into war. Even did Prussia determine to keep her plighted word, it would rest entirely in her power to do so in such manner and upon such terms as she pleased. That these conditions aim at securing the full and entire mastery of Germany we have learnt from the war of 1859, when the King of Prussia claimed the command in chief of the Federal army, not as a General of the Confederation, but by right of his position as Sovereign of Prussia. Thus it was that we learned that it was his intention to employ the Federal troops, not to convey unconditional aid to Austria, but to impose upon us an armed mediation. All the world knows how much this equivocal atti tude contributed to the prompt conclusion of the peace of Villafranca. Let any one picture to himself the recurrence of a similar position now, when the acquisition of Schleswig-Holstein would have made Prussia a veritable great Power, and in fact the chief great Power of Germany. What con ditions would she make then before carrying out the guarantees we are promised now? What concessions would be wrung from us in the supreme moment of distress—concessions which would deprive us of the last remains of our influence in Germany ? We ask, could such a guarantee be looked upon as a compensation, and whether it is allowable to base the edifice of our future upon so frail and insecure a foundation ?" MARKETS—This Day.

MUNIFICENT OFFER OF MR. BASS, M.P.—The increasing population in the locality of the Derby-road, Waterloo-street, and Wellington-street, Burton-upon- Trent, has rendered the erection of a church in that dis trict highly necessary. The case, we understand, was laid by Mr. W. H. Worthington before Mr. Bass, M.P., who, after a short delay, sent for Mr. Worthington and informed him of his intention to give the sum of £12,000 for the above object. Mr. Bass proposes that £5,000 of the money shall be devoted to the erection of the church, £5OO for the parsonage, and £6,500 for the endowment.

His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, attended by Lieutenant Haig, went out with the harriers. His Majesty the King of the Belgians, attended by General Count de Moerkerke, drove to Clare mont yesterday afternoon and visited the Queen Marie Amelia. The Bishop of St. Davids had the honour of dining with the Queen, the King of the Belgains, and the royal family yesterday, and left the Castle to-day. The Earl of Clarendon also returned to London. The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince of Wales, attended by Lieutenant- Colonel Keppel, hunted with his harriers, near Staines, yesterday. The Princess of Wales, took a carriage drive, attended by the Hon. Mrs. Bruce. The Prince and Princess of Wales went to the Haymarket Theatre in the evening. A DISTINGUISHED AMATEUR.—Lord Palmerston, we are informed, has become an honorary member of the "Civil Service Musical Society."—Musical Standard. THE MARRIAGE OF PRINCE HUMBERT with a Russian Princess is still talked of. THE DUKE OF CLEVELAND has received the vacant Garter. THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA, the Archduchess Gisele, aged eight and a half years, is seriously ill with fever and congestion of the lungs. Ills Excellency the Netherlands Minister, who has been suffering from indisposition for some time past, is now much better. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland received a family circle at dinner last evening at Stafford House. The funeral of the late Earl of Bradford is fixed to take place on Friday next, at the family seat, Weston Park, Salop. The Earl and Countess of Coventry have arrived at Grimston Park, Tadcaster, on a visit to Lord and Lady Londesborough. We are sorry to learn that Viscount Uffingtou still continues in a very weak state of health. THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET.—The Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by the Hon. Mrs. Bruce and Lieut.-Colonel Keppel, honoured this theatre with their presence last evening. FANCY-BALL AT CHELTENHAM.—Mrs. Dent may be said to have opened the gay campaign at Chel tenham by an amateur theatrical performance at Sudely Castle, and the bachelors, sixty in number, wound it up by one of the best fancy balls ever known in Cheltenham. The dresses which were, with very few exceptions magi" ficent, were made for the wearers, and not hired from the theatrical costumiers. The ladies were extremely well " got up." The Mary Queen of Scots and the George the Second quadrille were the admiration of the whole circle i and among the belles of the ball maybe mentioned a young lady in Greek attire and one in Roman costume. The beauty of the above, and others too numerous to mention, will, i f good taste exists at Cheltenham, probably reduce the number of baehlors. MR. COBDEN, M.P.—We regret to learn from a contemporary that Mr. Cobden is suffering from a severe attack of bronchial asthma, the same complaint from which he suffered after meeting his constituents at Roch dale in ;November last. Since that time, although dallY improving in health, and requiring, as he recently ex pressed himself, only a few days of summer weather for his complete restoration, he has been almost entirely confined to his house at Midhurst until Tuesday last, on which day ho left for London, intending to take part in the debate on the vote for the fortifications in Canada. Almost imme diately on his arrival in town ho felt that he had undertaken more than his strength was equal to, and he experienced 3 relapse of a very severe character. We are glad to be able to report that during Saturday and yesterday a favourable change took place, and it is now thought that with strict confinement to a moderate temperature, perfect quie t, and onnynlotn nhatim , o , a from rmblin or nriva+ , bu.invris, 1115 re covery may not be long delayed. At present, however, be is not permitted to see even his most intimate friends. Express. Ihe Impending Naval Engagement off the Coast of Spain, (From the Correspondent of the Morning 11rald) FONDA VISCAINA, FERROL, SPAIN, March 22. Since - writing you some days back nothing has occurred worth notice concerning the Stonewall and Federal vessels until yesterday, when the former began to get up steam about 9.30 a.m., Captain Page telling his agent on shore to give notice to the authorities here of his intention to steam round the bay, and, if necessary, to leave the port alto' gether. About one o'clock she left her moorings' took a pilot on board, and after steaming about for some time made down the channel or river leading to the sea, getting to the mouth about 2.15 Po ., being then in sight of both the Niagara and Sacra' mento in Corunna harbour, distant about 6i miles' both these vessels had steam up, in fact the Niaga ra at one time, before the Stonewall came in sight, h ad steamed just outside the entrance of Corunna har bour, but re-entered very quickly. I may here Wen tion that the Federals were kept constantly adv ised of the Stonewall's movements the whole day, fi rst by telegraph from Ferrol, and then by signals f rom the coastguard stations and lighthouse. The Stonewall on getting outside made out to so , encountering rough weather, some of the s ea ' s making right through her bow ports. After be in g outside about 40 minutes she ventured the eba ttil a leading to Ferrol, having been in sight of Corualle at least an hour ; but neither of the Federals e all n out, or made any signs of doing so. The Stonevia li had her battle-flag flying at the peak, and wa s l e thorough working order. Her engines, I work admirably. She can Make the half circle 7 0 less than three minutes ; in fact everybody who her her yesterday was surprised at the quickness ° I , e 0 movements. She steamed a little more than miles yesterday, being much faster than /ir expected. The Spanish frigate Concepcion accompanie d tl3 : Stonewall out to sea, in order to prevent any fig", ing taking place in Spanish waters. After the ram had been out of sight of Co'rtrny" about 25 minutes, the Sacramento steamed o ut, he ing followed 20 minutes afterwards by the Niaga i l f[ 3. They both knew then by signals that the Stonew' was nearly in Ferrol Bay. It is quite evident till did not want to fight or they would haVe accepte d the challenge offered them. They both return° into Corunna in less than 40 minutes. On go ill , g , on board the Stonewall late last night I found was making some water aft, through the stufalt box of one of the rudders, but it can eas il y be luau tight this morning. She will go out again to-dan about one o'clock, I believe, and there is l i t tl e & but the fight will come off to-day. I thi nk the rtro stands a very good chance of success, and this a opinion of most of the officers and others here al e at Corunna. I have heard that the captain e f t . steamer Cadiz, from Gibraltar to Lon don, on puf till's tin g into Comma, r eported that an iron vessel warn, he supposed armour-plated h , b ore down on Wl_ off Cape Finisterre. He says, he believes her tob.f a Confederate vessel. I think there is some trut9: in the report, as I had it f rom the office of t 11: English consul in Corunna. There is nothing el b that I know at present. LISBON, March ZO. The Confederate ram Stonewall has arrived here from Ferrol, where she lef t the Federal war teamed Niagara and Sacramento, which are reported to have shunned a conflict. The Portuguese authorities have ordered the Stonewall to leave the harbour, and have manna the forts. The Sacramento is hourly expected.
