Gentleman the Member for Manchester really means to bring on for discus sion this evening the motion of which he has given notice respecting the negotiations lately car ried on at Vienna. The resolutions to which he asks the assent of the popular branch of the Legis lature declares, inter alia, that the " propositions made by the Government of Russia for giving effect to the principle of the Third Article con tained elements for renewed negotiation, and may offer the means of obtaining an honourable and a satisfactory peace !" The similar motion in the Lords has been adjourned by the noble advocate of Germanism until the opinion of the House of Commons has first been delivered on the all-im portant topic. We must, therefore, on behalf os the community in general, demand that the ver dict of the grand inquest of the nation may b€ clearly and unequivocally expressed, so that there may be no possibility of mistake or misconception. However greatly we may differ from Mr. M. GIBSON in his views respecting the War, it is but a simply act of justice to acknowledge that ho has raiset a distinct and intelligible issue. He has boldly hoisted the Russian colours, and stands forward as the mouthpiece of those ready to lick the dust from before the footstool of the AUTOCRAT, and, " with bated breath and deep humility," to sup plicate peace at any price, or on any conditions which he may think proper to accord. There is, we . regret to say a clique, who call themselves Englishmen, so far devoted to the worship of Mammon as to endure any indignity, to behold with apathy and indifference any act of tyranny and oppression, or even wholesale plunder, pro vided " trade" be not interfered with ! and that their own profits go on accumulating. Like their prototype, they care not, whil e counting their gains, for the execration.;= of the people, or the censures of every right-minded person. They would be quite wil ling to sell their birthrights to any bidder, and would hug the chains provided they were sufficiently gilded. • We regret that Mr. GIDSO).:, for whom we once entertained a high respect, should not merely have identified himself with this party, but even con rented to become their leader, to express thei un-English views in what ought to be a society o Englishmen. But since he has thought prove, to do so, he must have ample scope. There mus be no preliminary objections, no special demurrers to p reve nt 'the unqualified condemnation whic, his proposition SO eminently merits, and which, alone can atone for th e mischief it was calculated to produce. The man -who would strive to inter pose any obstacle to a fair decision on any ground whatsoever will deserve an amplePorsutipopnorotferstie l ' o l censur e that awaits the abetters and the Right Honourable Gentlem an . It is more than hinted that he will not stand so entirely alone in his views as might haveeei, suppose d, —that it is not by Messrs. BRIGHT and Co3DEN, and the enrolleclmembers of the so-called "Peace" Society only, that he will be supported. Rumour says that the Peelites—who, notwith standing their recent secession, were the honoured guests of the First Lord of the Treasury, on the celebration of her MAJESTY'S natal day—will cas t aside the flimsy hitherto disguises which they have assumed, and endeavour to chalk out a way to office on the disgrace and ruin of their country. It is difficult to credit such things, even of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, or of Messrs. GLADSTONE and HERBERT. Their antecedents, however, warranL suspicion, and it is possible that they may have ; high support behind the scenes. Tile teen who struggled so energetically to prevent the startling disclosures made before the Sebastopol Committee, who mismanaged the naval resources of the country, who starved the War, and who, as it is said, caused Odessa to be spared, to become the arsenal for supplying all the necessities of the Russian troops in the Crimes, m ay go any lengths without occasioning great surprise. It is right, however, that they should have the opportunity of exculpating themselves from the serious charge. They cannot plead igno rance, and silence on their part will be equiva lent to an admission of their guilt. But another name has been mentioned, that we confess strikes us with unmitigated astonishment —we had almost said consternation, It is posi tively asserted that Lord JOHN RUSSELL, whose unflinching boldness of speech alone saved the " Coalition" during the past year, and whose withdrawal from their companionship at the com mencement of the session led to their overthrow, has become a convert to the "peace,-at-any price" principle, and that he will seize the oppor tunity to declare his adhesion thereto ! Although by no means satisfied with the proceedings of the Noble Lord during his Austrian tour, although, as British Plenipotentiary, he grievously disap pointed the expectations that had been formed respecting his conduct, we cannot yet believe these grave accusations. He must plead guilty before we can call for the sentence which in such case the voice of public opinion will infallibly pro nounce. But, as we have said, respecting the Peelites, be must speak out explicitly and unmis takeably, and not exhibit any reserve, if he wishes to retain any remnant of his former cha racter, or to prevent the creation of an impedi ment which will act as a perpetual bar to his holding any office under the Crown. We now earnestly and emphatically exhort every representative of the people to appear in his place, and to swell the majority against the degrading proposition. The several constituen cies will have an opportunity of knowing whether they have got " the right men in the right places." Should their just expectations be disappointed, they will have a speedy opportunity of avenging the culpable violation of duty—of casting from them those who, unworthy of the British name, cm no longer be regarded as suitable representa tives fur true-hearted Britons. It is impossible not to regret the position of Mr. - MILNER GIBsoN. We are sure of his ability, and entertain a strong conviction of his honesty ; yet what national purpose his motion can serve we are at a loss to divine. We have no doubt be will do justice to his case, and so far he may serve the purpose of proving that no talents can recom mend it to the nation ; but we would rather not have to regard him, in the light of a special pleader. The great misfortune of the business is that lie and Earl GREY become practically auxiliaries to Russia, and thereby enemies to their country. We have not the slightest doubt that " the Man chester School," unintentionally and indirectly of course, have been the cause of much bloodshed, and will be the cause of more. They emboldened NICHOLAS to believe that England would never go to war ; and this, in connection with his convic tion of the ineradicable antipathy between Eng lishmen and Frenchmen, hurried him on to steps he would not otherwise have taken. Had Messrs. COBDEN, BRIGHT, and GIBBON demanded that if Russia moved a soldier across the Pruth England should declare war, NICHOLAS would not have supposed us to be abjectly enslaved to our com merce. rii. ..,Lit..,. (J.e 42,7 -. . -••---- ......5..........„.. „ itm action on our Russiamsmg Government. Lord ABERDEEN as well as NICHOLAS might have pursued a wiser course had he not been sure 01 the praises of two or three justly popular mem bers and speakers. Seeing that the nation's con 4cience did not allow it to pass by on the other side while another nation lay wounded by the great robber, they might have abstained from practically abetting the murderer, by proclaiming that they wished the injured nation to bear all without help from England. The struggle now, however, promises to be one for worthier and graver objects than hitherto. Our troops are rising to a number in the Crimea which gives hope that the Russians there in the &ad will soon be attacked, and Sebastopol de prived of supplies, and therefore soon placed in iur power. The expulsion of Russian troops from hat peninsula must speedily follow, and surely ao statesman would permit her aver to tread that dear-won ground again. Meantime both Austria , nd Prussia have by treachery and cownrdice placed themselves completely hori de combat. The whole War must be conducted, to say the least, in utter lisregard of the wishes of such practically insig nificant Powers. Wedged in between the fear of the domestic retribution termed revolution, and the cowardly fear of Russia termed prudential considerations, they are useless for all European purposes. Their governments and dynasties are indeed Russian at heart. They will aid her and damage us as much as they dare. This situation, as our neighbours term it, compels every thinking man to see more and more decidedly, that the Polish alliance is the grand hope of the Western Powers, of Turkey, and of all the peoples of Europe, as well as that the necessities of the 'War tre the hope of the Poles themselves. But for the utter incapacity of our aristocratic statesmen to devise or accept a plan worthy of the crisis, we .oust think that our whole Cabinet and Legislature would be of one mind. The independence of Poland is clearly to every unbiassed judgment the solution of the great problem of the day. We ought, therefore, to take a calm view of the strength of both sides. We may even tabu larise it. It will stand about thus :-- For Slavery and Bar barism. Russia. Prussia. \ustria. Coburgs and For Independence and Civilisation. Fngland. France. Turkey. SArdinia. ?etty German Despots, Northern Italy. vith Leopold of BELGIUM. Hungary. the English Aristocracy. POLAND. Cabinet ready to clutch at any compromise which would save their order further exposure, and the men who won us Free Trade take no interest, and worse than no interest, in the Free dom of Nations. We can almost imagine that had they employed the same talents against the universal aggressor which they have used to encourage him, Europe might at this time have been free from war. In the ,nilitary contest there is, however, the one great advantage to the Allies, if they would but frankly use it, to which Russia has no coun terpoise—the certain hostility of Russian Poland. Even now it requires the best half of her troops to keep it down. Poland, though neglected, already saves us the presence of perhaps 150,000 troops on the Danube, or in the Crimea. What would she not do were we to proclaim her inde pendence as the sine qua non of peace ? Russia would be half vanquished by the declaration itself, while the presence of an Allied army in the Baltic or in Bessarabia would soon enlist thousands and tens of thousands of the finest volunteers from the very suburbs of the Russian forts in Poland. It is somewhat encouraging to notice some increasing signs of hope for Poland. The re cent publication in the Moniteur (the Govern ment organ) of the Polish addresses to LOUIS NA POLEON, invoking his aid as their only hope s is in harmony with the policy which sends M. DE PER SIGNY to our country as Ambassador, and appoints Count WALEWSKI to be Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is gratifying to learn that England is actively co-operating in the formation of the Polish Legion in Turkey. We note, however, with, regret the Austrian and timid policy which denies them their national colours, and forces them to serve under the absurd banner of a Cross and a Crescent. To the Poles the sighs; of their white eagle might make all the difference between defeat and victory. If Sebastopol were to be stormed, for instance, we may well believe that every Pole would be lather shot down on the spot than tarnish the honour of their national flag the first time it floated over their heads since their last attempt to wrench liberty from the fangs of NICHOLAS. There is a most admirable discussion of " the Polish question, from the German Point of View, by a German Statesman" (RIDGWAY), which we in tend shortly to notice, and which we especially commend meantime to the study of our Court and Cabinet, as well as of all our readers. Of all the incidents, of the " baiting" of the member for Aylesbury, the conduct of Sir JAMES GRAHAM oa Friday evening last was the most revolting. No generous mind but must have recoiled from it in indignation and disgust. Tile majority, probably, of the House had endeavoured, by sheer numerical vocalisalion and the weight ..f such authority as a long attendance in the House can confer, to crush and utterly extinguish a high-spirited but unaided man while in the dis charge of a public duty. " This was sufficiently discreditable ; but it was left to Sir JAMES GRAHAM to furnish the climax of a persecution the most unchivalrous and un-English we remem ber to have been experienced by any man in the House since the early days of HUME. A. recollection of the fate of the brothers BANDIERA should have deterred him. The pos sibility that he might fall into the very error the House affected to condemn, his own share in the transaction, and, shall we add, the defectiveness of his memory and the burden of the proverb, should have bid him pause. But no ; the oppor u i t o w A s e tn einPloyed tu to rescue himself from odium, and cast that odium with destructive effict on another 2 So up be got with ponderous gravity and spoke on the question, " Who killed CHRISTIE ?" Bringing into play those theatrical powers which had failed to appal the Member for Aylesbury in the Com mittee, he proceeded with an affecting representa tion of dignified remorse with his task. Com mencing with an eulogium on the services of the deceased Captain, he went on to say—" He be lieved the first time any question was raised about his fitness was when the Hon. Member for Ayles bury referred to him in the House. My only fear," continued the Han. Baronet, "is that I have yielded somewhat too much to clamour with respect to this officer (?) I ordered au inquiry to be instituted, after the debate to which 1 have alluded, by the Commander-in-Chief on the naval station as to whether, in his opinion, Capt. CHRISTIE had effectively and well discharged the duties of the post that had been assigned to him. Two faults were alleged against him. The first related to the discretion exercised by him with regard to the transports outside the harbour of Balaklava, on the day of the storm, the 14th November. Th e second question which arose, and one to which the hon. member had alluded, was whether Cap tain CHRISTIE had not made a serious mistake, with respect to the ordering a portion of the Turk ish troops which were conveyed from Varna to the Crimea to come to Balaklava instead of Eupa toria." For the solution of these questions, the Hon. Baronet went on to say he thought it better to refer to the constituted tribunal of his brother officers than to the Sebastopol Committee. Unfortunately for Sir JAMES, it so happens as Mr. LAYARD, in his letter of this day to the Times, shows, on the authority of Mr. GLAD STONE, that at the time Mr. LAYARD drew the attention of the Muse to the question of Captain CHRISTIE'S fitness, that officer had actually been discharged, and by whom ? By Sir JAs. GRAHAM himself ! So much for the question of the Cap tain's fitness having been raised by Mr. LAYARD, and the assertion that the inquiry had been insti tuted after the debate ! What, however, is still more remarkable, Mr. GLADSTONE actually took credit to the Government for that dismissal ! Nay, further, the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking for Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT and Sir. JAS. GRAHAM, demanded, " Was that all ? Captain CHRISTIE was on his way home ; he had reached Malta, when my Right. Hon. Friend made him return to the East, in order to take his trial by Court-martial." This was said on the same even ing the Sebastopol Committee was nominated. So much for Sir JAMES'S pretended consideration for Captain CHRISTIE, in keeping him from the Sebas topol Committee. That Committee was not then in existence ! Never surely did attempt break down mere completely to the discomfiture of him who made it. Every allegation proved to be false, Sir JAMES GRAHAM stands convicted of endeavonring to enlist public sympathy to aid him in an attempt to crush, by a most false and unge nerous charge, a young, able, and high-spirited statesman, whose worst fault was his love of country.

The Moniteur publishes a letter from General Canrobert to the Minister of War, which says : H.EAD QUARTERS, MAY 8. Monsieur le Marechil,—My letter of the 4th mentioned our brilliant combats of the Ist and 2d of May. All the attempts of the enemy to retake the work taken by our soldiers, either by assault or by a very heavy cannonade, which ren dered it very difficult to hold, have been fruitless. We have remained masters of this position, which now forms a vast place d'armes, the parapets of which are henceforth cannon proof. The losses which we suffer at present are far less sensible ; they are occasioned only by the ihollow projectl€s which the besieged throw in in considerable num bers. BERLIN, SUNDAY, MAY 20.

The fire of the enemy is moderate. The enemy has erected new batteries. We have done likewise. On the night between the 11th and 12th we made a small and rather successful sortie from Bastion 3, and spiked some English guns. On the 12th the envnay attempted to fire a mine under the main front of Bastion No. 4: The explosion did us no damage. MARSEILLES, MAY 20.

We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 12th inst. A supplement of the Atonal de St. Petersbourg publishes a circular despatch of Count Nesselrode, dated the 28th of April last, giving the Russian version of the Vienna Conferences. It is addressed to Russian diplomatists abroad. As regards the third point, the circular says,— " It concerned not only the general balance of power, but touched, nearly, the dignity and the honour of Russia. It was thus that our august Master judged it. The national sentiment of the whole nation will respond to his decision." We have also received the full text of the Russian despatch of the 30th of April, addressed by Count Nesselrode to M. de' Glinka. It is as follows : "ST. PETERSBURG, Arian 30. _ _ "The negotiations at Vienna have arrived at that point when it is in the power of the Cabinets of Paris and London to make them fail completely, despite our firm desire for peace. I think it well to indicate to you the situation in which the two points which especially interest Germany would be in case of a rupture of the Vienna Conferences. ," The first relates to the privileged regime of the Danubian Principalities ; the second to the free naviga tion of the Danube. Both were discussed and examined in the sittings'of the 15th and 23d of March, and received a solution which obtained the assent of all the Plenipo tentiaries assembled in Conference. The Russian Pleni potentiaries took part in those deliberations in a pacific sense, which, assuredly, was not without influence upon the satisfactory conclusion which the Conference came te. This is proved by protocols 2,3, 4, and 5. "To give to the particular arrangements which those acts imply a real value, and obligatory,force, it would be necessary to, give them the form of a treaty. If the Conferences are broken off, that necessary formality can nct be completed, and the Powers that took part in the arrangement are not reciprocally bound. "Nevertheless, the Imperial Government will con tinue to consider it a useful result that a complete ur rgtanding has been attained'at least on those two point s between the Powers, as proved by the protocols signed at Vienna. Now as these two points concern the inte rest of Germany in a manner more or less direct, we attached a double importance to that result, and we still attach it, insomuch as placing the interests of Germany , entirely apart from the Eastern question, it must neces sarily serve to confirm the States of the German Con federation in the resolution of remaining strangers to the idreggle. and of observing a strict neutrality. - " Nevertheless, his Majesty the Emperor could not consider the arrangements made at Vielina as regards the affairs of the Danubian Principalities and the regu lation of the nay:gado!' Danube as bi6ding for Rus•ia except as long as the Germaa Courts maintain this po sition 4,f Arict t , utrality, " You are authorised to give this' assurance to the members of the German Federal Assembly, communi cating them the present despatch for the information of their cuurta. AUSTRALIA. LIVERPOOL, MAY 20. The Royal mail steam-ship James Baines, one of the Black Ball line, has arrived from Melbourne, whence she sailed on the 12th of March. She bas brought 40,000 ounces of gold and 360 passengers. The Douglas and Dannebrog, from London, had arrived at Geelong, and St. Michael, from London, at Port Philip Heads. _ _ The artisans who had been thrown . out gof em ployment owing to the demand for building having ceased were beginning to turn their attention to gardening and other industrious pursuits. The question of the importance of agriculture was be coming stronger every day, and the necessity for the colony to endeavour to ra_ise . its e mrt brsp t cl6oA land which had previously been laid down with grass had this year been sown with wheat, and in some districts considerable progress has been made in the erection of flour-mills. The total amount of gold brought by the Go verment escorts from the various gold fields from the beginning of January to the 3d of March was 176,584 ounces. The weather had been unusually dry, and the miners were busy making piles of " washing stuff," and it was expected that the average of the preced ing year would be maintained. Quartz crushing was beginning to be carried on with great activity at Bendigo and Ballarat. At Ballarat also ma chines were extensively used for pumping water from the deep levels, which in some cases are up wards of 200 feet from the surface. The circulation of the banks continues steady, but there was a slight increase in the deposits. The drain upon them is said to have 'ceased, and the accounts of the colonists to be improving rapidly. The suspension of steam communication, both via India and the Cape, of Good Hope, had created great dissatisfaction throughout the whole of the Australian colonies. The supplies at the diggings, in 'consequence of the suspension of credit, were short ; every one was endeavouring to lay in Stock, which caused a brisk trade in provisions, ironmongery, machinery, cordage, and other suitable goods. In Victoria for months past the rate of wages has been declining. Rents were falling. The trial of the diggers taken prisoners at Bal larat commenced on the 22d of February ; but, verdicts of acquittal having been returned in two cases, the Attorney-General declared he had no confidence in the jury, and refused to proceed with the trial of the other prisoners that session. On the 16th of February the Council voted 20,0001. as a contribation from the colony to the Patriotic Fund. Discoveries of gold have been made on the. Keilor plqins, and also at Mount Ararat, near the river Hopkins ; tile workings at' Anderson's Creek, or rather in the bed of the Yarra-Yarra, are still spoken of favourably,.and several hundreds of men are reported to be at work there. The clipper ships Lightning and Red Jacket had not arrived out when the James Baines left Mel bourne. The price of gold remained at 765. Several new gold fields had been hit upon, but the yield from them was not great. The old gold, fields were going on steadily. No alteration in rates of exchange. Gold freights, by sailing-vessels, 4d. per ounce, delivered in Lohdon. The wool•market was dull, principally owing t , the small quantity of wool coming into the market. In manufactured goods there was little alteration. A MERICA. - ARRIVALOF THE AFRICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. - This day the Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Cap tain S. W.

The news are not important. On the 7lth 4,000 European emigrants arrived at New York. The prosecution instituted against Col. Kinney has been abandoned. The Havannah advices, dated May 1, are not important. The 11th instant was observed as a day of humiliation in Nova Scotia on account of the war. • The New York Money Market is reported as more active ; a good demand and au abundant supply of first-class paper, at 6to 7 per cent. Stocks . dull and lower. The Cotton Market was steady, with an upward tendency. The Market for breadstuffs was advancing. Flour was 12 per cent. higher. Wheat was firm, and In(lian corn buoyant.

DROWNING IN A TUB.—An inquest was held at Whit by on Wedne-day last, on the body of Thomas Lund, a ilnrnernan curlier, who died the same afternoon by ailing into a scouring-tub during an epileptic fit. The eater in the tub was 10 inches deep, and the tub 1 5 inche4 high.—Leeds intellisocer. ; CO RN EXC HAN GE, The supplies of wheat on sale in moat of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderato, and the de mand for all kinds ruled steady, on rather higher terms. There was more doing in barley, the value of which had an upward tendency. Other articles commanded full quotations. Advices from New York to the Bth instant state that flour was 12i cents per barrel dearer, with a very limited supply on offer. Most of the continental markets have continued firm for all articles. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to to our markets, coastwise and by land-carriage. The imports from abroad were 13,167 quarters of wheat, 343 barley, 24,294 oats, 1,650 beans, 317 peas, 1,306 tares, 13,450 linleod, 12,932 rapeseed, 41 sundry seeds, 1,236 sacks and 55 brls of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, a very moderate supply of English wheat came to hand. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and white was small, the demand for all kinds—arising from the limited attendance of buyers—was in a very in active state. However, factors were somewhat firm in their demands, and, in some few instances, .Is. to 2s. per quarter more money was obtained for fine qualities. That amount of improvement, however, was by no means gene rally paid. There was a moderate show of foreign wheat, yet the amount of business doing in all kinds was comparatively limited. In the quotations we have no change to report, but they were well maintained. Floating cargoes of grain were held at prices mostly above the views of buyers. The show of both English and foreign barley was small, and the trade was active, at from is to 2s per quarter above the rates current on Monday last. The malt' trade was steady, and prices were well sup ported. We were fairly supplied with foreign oats, but the show, of other kinds was limited. Tho demand was rather in active, but no decline was submitted to in prices. There was a steady, though not to say brisk, demand foz beans, at full quotations. The inquiry for peas was far from active, on former terms. The business doing in flour was but moderate, at Lai week's currency. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was only a moderate show of foreign stock in to day's market, but its general quality was tolerably good. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scot land, the arrivals of beasts were seasonably large, and in excellent condition ; indeed, this was one of the best sup plies exhibited during the present year. Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was good, the beef trade ruled heavy. at Friday's decline in the quotations of 2d per Slbs. The highest figure for Scots was 4s 6d per 81b The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suftlk, Epex ' and Cambridgeshire were 2,500 Sots and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Sc"tland, 600 horned and polled Scots. There was a,decided increase in the number of sheep compared with Minday last, but at least two thirds of the supply were beneath the middle quality. Prime Downs and half-breds sold steadily, at full prices; but most infe rior sheep were very dull, and 2d per Sibs lower than on this day se'nnight. Prime lambs were scarce, and realised full quotations. Inferior lambs were dull, and 2,1 per 81bs cheaper.

Bearding Clare's pretensions with impartiality, I am Ssinclined r° share either the Over-sanguine expectations (ibis suPPb°ll ters, or the violent hostility of his opponents.
