The star of Austria remains in the ascendant. Who could listen to the pompous_ platitudes of Lord PALMER STON last night without indignant disgust at tin conduct of the Government, and without shame for the disgrace which it is calculated to bring on the British name. There was a time when it might truly be said of the Premier, that "he was not the Minister of Russia, the Minister of Prussia, or the, Minister of Austria, but the Meister of England." There was a time when the cheers with which the House of Commons re- ' ceived the statement would find an echo in every British heart. Need we ask how such an asser tion would now be received, or describe the nature of the derisive and ironical cheers with which it would be greeted ? If Lord PALMERSTON be not the Minister of Austria, he acts as if he were so ; and if he owed allegiance to FRANCI JOSEPH, he could not display more profound defer ence, more abject subservience than at present. Ht has, indeed, completely verified his declaration, that he would pursue the course followed by Lord ABERDEEN. There has been a trifling change of men—but not of measures. The same policy which occasioned the War is still perceptible, and should Parliament continue apathetic and iudif- ferent, will prolong the contest and materially aggravate the evils inseparable therefrom. Lord PALMERSTON wishes " to leave the ques tion in the state in which it is." He desires "tc leave the door of negotiation open." This was the stereotyped answer of his predecessor to every demand for information—every remonstrance a: the undue credulity of the Government. The nation was sick of hearing from the travelled Thane the propriety of exhausting all the means of preserving peace before it engaged in war I There is every probability that it will be equally disgusted at the repetitious usque ad nauseam of his successor, that he will not be the party " to shut the door to the possibility of con cluding an honourable and satisfactory peace !" "An honourable and satisfactory peace !" Where is there now the prospect of such a result save from the valour and prowess of the Allied troops in the Crimea ? It is not by negotiation:, that it can be obtained. France and England have already been too much bamboozled by their Ileceithil colleague. They have had too many examples of the profound contempt of Russia for an y obligations or pledges, however sacred, and of the pettifoggin g and despicable duplicity of Austria to be furtheranisled. If they wilfully close their eyes to the real state of affairs they will be come accessories to the fraud at which they COD nive. They have witnessed the contumelious rejection by Russia of the terms- which, with the assent of Austria, they proposed for acceptance. These terms, we repeat, would not have been deemed satisfactory by the nation if a Treaty had been unfortunately concluded in accordance therewith. No peace concluded on such a foundation would have been honourable or permanent. It would be justly regarded as a temporary armistice, to be violated by Russia on the first favourable oppor tunity. And now the Prime Minister of England Justifies the delay in the production of the proto ,_l6, which he promi se d on Monday last, on the ground that he " wishes to leave the door of ne gotiation It i s io r , or ible that he can now be deceived.

Lord ABERDEEN was driven from office at the altncst unanimous djsire of the nation. As a double portion of h 3 s pirit appears to have descended to Lori Pi.AL:ERSTON, as the expectations of the nation with respect to that Noble Lord have been :o frequently disappointed, he must meet with simi lar treatment. The like conduct demands the like punishment. If the Red-tapists will not act, we must find men who will undertake the duties which they have neglected, and will look to the honour and interests of Great Britain rather than to the dictates of a petty German Princi pality. NATMARK.EI I THEATRE. Last night a new four-aet drama. entitled the Actress of Padua, was produced here with most triumphant success. The plot is short, and may be explained as follows :—Tisbe, an actres', has risen by her talents 'rom a chill who sang about the streets to a station of wealth sufficient to entertain the Governor of Padua, Angelo Malapieri, at a grand fete. The Governor is also among the host of lovers of the successful actress— albeit he is marriede-ebnt his love is not reciprocated ; n fact, Tisbe doatingly loves another. The Governor, in his attentions to Tisbe, neglects his wife, who has peen forced into the marriage against her inclination, her heart having been given to another. This person turns out to be none other than the man upon whom Tisbe lavishes all her affections one Rodolpho, a banished lord, whom she passes off as her brother, and he, in his turn, is dying of an early love for Catarina, the wife of the governor of Padua. Omodei, a secret agent of the Council of Ten, who is supposed to he an ,diet, overhears the secret of the different parties, and as Rodolpho has saved his life, he procures him an in 'erview with the gevernor's wife, and then coromuni. cites to Tisbe where she will find her lover. Driven to 'esperation by jealousy she enters the secret chamber of Angelo ; but there only, di'covers his neglected wife, but her suspicions are aroused by discovering a cloak. Fier rage knows no hounds, but on discovering that Csterina. when a child, saved the life of her mother, .vhich circumstance is brought to light by a cruelfie, which the mother of the actress gave the child, her hate turns to love, and she resolves to sacri fice her own happiness to secure that of Catarina. The circumstance of a stranger having been in the alace has been cornmenicatel to the governor, and as his wife refuses to write or speak the name of the visi tor, he determines to poison her, and thus avenge his supposed dishonour. Tisbe having given him two potion., one to produce nearly instant death, and the other sound sleep, she so contrives that the sleeping draught is given to Catarina ; and having promised Angelo to have the corpse secretly conveyed from the palace, he departs to find his ina'.e enemy. Tisbe, however, has the sleeping lady conveyed to her own home, and here Rodolpho, who has heard that Catarina has beenpoisoned by the agency of Tisbe, enters mad with rage as he is about to assassinate her. She seizes his dagger and dies by her-own hand. Catarina now revives, and all is explained. A bell is heard to toll, and a messenger enters with the intelli gence that the Governor of Padua has ceased to exist, he having swallowed the contents of the other phial' with the hope of getting refreshing sleep. Although the materials are not entirely new, they are worked upon with extraordinary ability. A play is. produced that will take its place amongst the hest-acting dramas of the day. Miss Cushman, as Tisbe, acted with her usual ability, and hence forward this will be one of her greatest parts. The cha racters in the drama were well sustained by Miss Reynolds, Mr. Howe, Mr. W. Farren, and Mr. 4toger. The scenery was excellent, and the dresses magnificent. The principal performers having received the honour of a "call," the author's name was demanded. Here Mr. Buckstone stepped forward and said :—" The author is a Frenchman—Victor Hugo—part adapter, your humble servant. With your kind permission the Actress of Padua will be repeated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, till further notice." This laconic address was received with the loudest cheers from a house crowded to suffocation. .LATEST NEWS. SUCCESSFUL ENGAGEMENT BEFORE SEBASTOPOL. 1S?A1 DEPARTMENT, MAY 4, '7 p.x. Lord Panmure presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and has great pleasure in trans mitting the enclosed intelligence. "A sharp engagement took place on the night of the Ist of May in front and left attack. The whole of the Russian rifle pits were taken, 8 light mortars, and 200 prisoners. The whole aflair was brilliant for the Allies." The old proverb says that " the Vrd which can sing, and won't sing, must be made to sing." The terms may be considerably extended, and made applicable to every obligation which any :nan or body of men, any individual or nation nay, if he or they think proper, discharge ; .vhich, not from disability, but sheer roguery, hey are unwilling to do. It should at pi esent 1)e seriously pondered over at the Foreign-office, and energetic measures adopted to obtain justice for the defrauded creditors of some practically re pudiating States. There was a time when it was Lord PALMERSTON'S boast that he would caw e the name of Great Britain to be respected as highly as was that of Rome in days of yore ; that the Englishman would find the enunciation of his citizenship as effectual a protection for his person and property as that of the ancient Roman, and that it would entitle him to justice, not only at home, but abroad, from every people, and in every clime. This salutary principle, however, appears to be totally disregarded so far as the English BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 4. On the night of Wednesday last, May 2, the French under General Pelissier having taken up a position before the Quarantine Bastion, ad vanced briskly upon the Bastion No. 4, attacked the advanced works which the Russians had raised to protect that Bastion, and carried them at the point of the bayonet. In this attack the French took twelve mortars from the enemy. The Engineers immediately occupied the ground, and began to carry on a flying sap. At daybreak._ they had succeeded in establishing themselves in- tile- conquered works. Last night (Thursday) the Russians male a general sortie, with the object of retaking the lost ground. After a sanguinary combat they were driven back into the place. Our losses have been great, but bear no pre portion to those of the -enemy, nor to kilo advan tages gained. • holders of foreign securities are concerned. It is almost needless to say, that in the strictures which we may deem it our duty to put forward we do not in any way allude to nations who have made bond fide efforts to keep faith with creditors, and to the best and utmost of their abilities have endeavoured to meet their liabilities fairly and honestly ; or, if unable to satisfy every claim, have yet taxed their resources to the uttermost, and rateably divided the available assets among the claimants. It is only against those who, dip regarding alike the dictates of honour and honesty, set their creditors at defiance, and too frequently add insult to injury, heaping abuse and contumely on those whom they have scan dalously swindled—we use the term advisedly and deliberately—of their property, against all such unconscienti.ous spoliators we invoke the Aid of the Foreign Office. All that would be re quired would be a clear and unequivocal expres sion of a determination on the part of the British Government. to enforce justice to its defrauded citizens. Even " a hint in tender cases " would be enough. We should then see some efforts made to satisfy our fellow-citizens in some more acceptable way than by heaping vituperation and contumely on their heads, and repaying the coin ‘,latained by gross abuse against the beguiled lenders. This (Friday) morning , the Russians have neither a man nor a gun outside the regular en closure of the place.—Daily News. We (Times) have received the following tele graphic despatches from our Constantinople cor respondent, via Vienna : " CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 2. " Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has returned to Constantinople. " Mehemet Ali is recalled from exile. " Caurobert speaks to his troops of immediate operations. " Orders have been received to prepare trans. ports." .‘-‘ VARNA, MAY 3. " A sharp engagement took place on the lef attack before Sebastopol on the night of the is of May. " All the Russian rifle pits have been taken and 200 prisoners." At present we would especially direct attention to the Buenos Ayres Loan of 1824. Mr. Gino, the accredited agent and representative of the English Bondholders, has, it appears, given mortal offence to the local authorities by the suggestion that "the loan being contracted at a very high price, every principle of justice, sound policy, and honour (!), make it incumbent on the Buenos .kyres Government to settle the question, espe cially after a delay of nearly thirty years." To enforce and give validity to this proposition he published the terms of ono of these bonds in ex fenso. This has rendered the defaulters furious. They lavish abuse not only on Gino, who has been guilty of telling the truth, but on his clients, the victims of their own dishonesty, asserting that " the Jew usurers of Loudon get 2 per cent. now on their money ;" that is to say, on what they have expected to have beet the money actually advanced, which they declare to have been only 70 per cent., and not 85 per cent. as stated. Now, on this point it is scarcely necessary t,) PARIS, SATURDAY, MAY 5, 7.30 A.M. The Moniteur contains the following : The Minister of War has zeceived the follow ing telegraphic despatches from General Calm. beet BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, MAY 2. raise an argument. Whatever was actually ad vanced, whether 7 - 0 or 85 per cent., it was, as i turns out, far too high a price for what the dupe( creditors obtained in return ; for no less than 26 years payment was suspended, and the arrears of interest to no less than 1,750,0001. on bonds for 1,000,0001., or 175 per cent. on the original debt. According to their own admission, they actually received into the Treasury 700,0001., in proof whereof they produce a letter from Messrs. BARING, the agents of the Republic. But if that was all they received, the parties employed and authorised by themselves, and for whose acts they were unquestionably responsible, received 850,0001., and if they pocketed or abstracted so large a sum as 150,0001. in transitu, their prin cipals must themselves sustain the loss, and not the bondholders, who were not bound, and could not possibly look to the application of the funds which they, we regret to say, so improvidently supplied. PARIS, SATURDAY, MAY 5. The creditors paid the stipulated price, which was far higher than that at which a large propor tion of the National Debt of Great Britain was contracted. They received the Bonds in ex change, in accordance with the agreement entered MAIISEILLES, SATURDAY MORNING. into. No pretence was then or is even now made that they retained any portion of the money in their own hands ; and it is really too bad, at the end of nearly thirty-one years, and with such enormous arrears of interest still due and owing, to question the consideration given, or talk as if " the Jew usurers of London " should be well off at now receiving 2 per cent., not on the sum they advanced, but on what found its way into the treasury of Buenos Ayres I What renders the fraud worse—for we shall not mince matters, but call things by their right names—is that they have made distinctions in favour of the domestic debt, paying their own citizens, while they are awindling and vituperating the English creditors. This is surely sufficient not merely to warrant, but imperatively demand the intervention of Lord CLARENDON, and to in duce him to adopt measures which will render jus tice to the much-wronged bondholders, and teach a salutary lesson to all nations inclined to deviate from the paths of rectitude, and to save their pockets at the expense of their characters for honour and integrity.

While we are ready to appreciate the courage exhibited in the advance of this week, under the actual circum stances, and while we cannot but think it promisee much more, yet we remember, with a feeling akin to humilia tion, that in thiQ, the eighth month of a siege conducted without stint of life or treasure, we are only just taping up the position we ought to have ar ived at by the 17th of last October, if not still earlier. Just at this moment, when we are slowly making up for lost time, and actu ally learning siege operations from a foe we hal been taught to despise, an opportunity occurs for comparing the spirit that directs the operations of the besieeers and the besieged. A letter from Sir John F. Bur goyne gives us once more the familiar picture of the veteran military savant, who Views a siege principally as a school for teaching the science of fortification. The gallant old general is still of opinion that everything was done right, though it led of necessity to a disastrous conclusion, and that in theory we have aehieved e splendid performance, tl ou ! iila in fact we have suffored disaster. Thus far Sir Jelin is rea !y exclaim with the stoical reouhlican, " Victrix cause Deis placuit; sed victa Catoni." The road he still holds oneht not to have been attempted under the circarn fences, it being, in his opinion, impossible for an army of seventy or eighty thousand men to make about six miles and a-half of rood, involving, at the. utmost, the collection and laying down of about 40,000 cubic yati= of the loose shingle and stones lying on the whole sur face of the country.

Private letters from St. Petersburg confirm the telegraphic announcement of the insurrection of the - peasants in the Ukraine, and state further, that it has already extended to the Governments of Pol tawa, Tchernigoff, and. Kharkaff. The names of twenty landed proprietors, whom the maddened moujiks have destroyed, together with their wives and children, have reached St. Petersburg. M. Poletien ' one of the richest proprietors in the go vernment of Tchernigoff; was burnt alive in his country house at Beletz. The same severe pressure caused by the war, which has driven the peasants of Little Russia to insurrection, is stated to be felt at St. Petersburg, where every article of consump tion is at famine price. SPAIN. MADRID, April 29.---We are here in a state of crisis. Ou reaching Aranjuez yesterday Espartero had a very long audience of the Queen: Senor Luzuriaga, resident at Araujuez since her Majesty has been there, was present. The Queen refused to sanction the desamortization. Up to our last advices from Aranjuez she is still stubborn in her refusal. 5 o'CnocK.—The Queen has sanctioned and signed. All kinds of rumours have been flying about this afternoon. The Democrats and Pro gresistas have had a meeting at the Chamber, dis cussing what should he done if the Queen refused her sanction. A deputy said that, in that case, the throne should be declared vacant. Other deputies remarking that it was most probable the Queen would end by giving way, the melting broke up without coining to a resolution. 6 o'CnocK—The Queen signed within half an hour of 'the Ministers' arrival at 'Araujuez, and there are reports that she has signed a private pro test. The Ministers have not yet returned to M - drid. Every sort of manoeuvre and influence had been put in practice to prevent the Queen from giving her sanction. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING. By the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, Captain Cook, we have dates front Gibraltar, April 24 ; Cadiz, 25 ; - Lisbon, 291 - Oporto - and Vigo, 30. The 11adrid brings in all 111 passengers, 12 of whom are from the General Screw Company's wrecked ship Natal. On freight there are 16 packages of specie, value 6,6841., and a full cargo, consisting of oranges, eggs, dates, and potatoes. The grape disease has again appeared in many parts of Portugal, especially in the provinces of AlemtPjo, Estremadnra, Beira, and Minh°. The orange and lemon trees were also attacked with a grub, which was fast destroying the roots. Thy potato plant looked remarkably healthy, but other plants showed strong indications of disease. The African Mail Steam-ship Ethiope had put into Lisbon with damaged machinery, and would be detained two or three days to effect repairs. The Lisbon exchanges for three mo.uths are quoted for this packet, on London, 541;' Paris, 5.25 ; Amsterdam, 43 ; Hamburg, 48/ ; Genoa, 522. The very limited supply of London paper was taken at 544, and on other places the transactions were trifling ; Three per Cent. Stock, 38 to 3i ; Bank of Portugal shares were in demand, at 62 t. 59 milreis discount ; Bank of Oporto shares, 12 to. 13 per cent. premium ; Lisbon Bank notes, 2 per cent. discount.

SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS, PALL MALL EAST.—Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal, the Princess- Alice, and the Princess Louisa, honour d the aaove society with a • visit this day. Tee royal suite con4sted of the Hon. Eleanor Stanley, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Major-General Buckley, and Captain du Plat. Her Majesty was graciously plealted to express her admiration of the high character of the cvorks exhi;Ated. The members of the council, Messrs. V. Taylor, J. G. Lewis, H. Gaslineau, W. C. Smith, and Mr. Carl Hang, had the honour of meeting the Royal Family at the gallery. The weather has been so beisteroua during the last few days as to interrupt the steam-boat communication be• tween Londrin alai the Isle of Thenet, which service re commenced for the season at the beginning of last mouth. It has seldom happened that a total interruption to the service has occurred, for although the weather might be too severe to render it prudent to pro ceed round the North Foreland to Ram-gate, the steamers have succeeded in landing their passengers at Margate, but the present condition of the new landitt2' jetty in course of construction at that place renders it too . hazardous to approach it in bad weather, and until the I Margate Pier Company take steps to remedy this state of things, passengers will at times be prevented availing themselves of the usual plea7ant and economical mode of ta'avelling to those favourite watering places. DEATH OF ADMIRAL LLOYD.—We regret to record the death of this veteran officer, which took place sud denly at hie residence, Priory Cottage, Ch&tenham, on Snip - fay afternoon. Deceased was one of those fine old specimens of an - English sailor bequeathed to us by the last war. To the last the " bluff old admiral" was one whom few could look upon without a feeling, of venera tion and respect. Admiral Lloyd was abo'ut 70 years of age. He received in reward for his services a naval medal with two clasps, and was also created a Knight of Hanover, and enjoyed for s ome time a good-set, ice pension of 1501. per armum. THE CIVIL SERVICE.—Audit Office, Somerset House. —Mr. Thos. Denton, temporary clerk, resigned, having been appointed to the Admiralty. Post Office—Mr. J. B. Ellen, ;ate clerk in charge, ham. been appointed sur veyor's clerk in the western district, vice H. B. Abbott., superannuated.— Civ,il Service Gazette. THE FIRM AT MILLWALL.—The fire in the battery is far from being entirely extinguished, and, owing to the difficulty the firemen experienced in getting to its exarit seat, a number of men have been eng•rged tuenelling under the flat bottom of the ship, so as to enable the brigade men to crawl under the vessel, and distribute the water from the different floating engines upon the timbers where the fire most fiercely burns. The strain caused by the ,ship so suddenly sliding off the stock, and resting upon the shore and the barge, has completely broken her back, and it is impossible to repair her without taking her to pieces. The loss on the Etna will not exceed 40,0001., and certainly rot ex tend beyond 50,0001. Had it not been for the immense salvage through the exertions of the firemen the loss would have been three times as great. The battery was insured in several of the principal London and county fire offices, among which are the Sun, nee nix? Imperial, Globe, Northern, Lancashire, Manchester., and Royal. Mr. wood's official report &scribes the danistee done as follows :-;e-" A large step, ter noel a floating battery, nearly destroyed, and two steam-ships on stocks severely damaged by fire.

The shipments of bullion direct from Landon during the week to Thursday last were 92,200 ounces of silver, 500 of gold, and two tons of copper, all to the Continent. There are no arrivals to-day with later Colonial news. The very important intelligence from Sebasto pol, dated as late as yesterday morning, has hail a beneficial effect upon the value of Public Securities, and the chances now are more in favour of an ad vanc prior to the settlement of the account on the 10th inst., owing to the abundance of money and the scarcity of Stock.
