remain in abeyance, and that, too, at a period when even minutes are, of vital importance to gratify the vanity of these men, whose co-opera tion will be more dangerous than their most active hostility. We readily accord to Mr. GLADSTONE the title of a ready debater, a man well qualified to make " the worse appear the better reason," and capable of carrying with him persons anxious to be con vinced, and seeking only for plausible excuses to satisfy their own, by no means exigent consciences. But no man has ever in an equal time committed so many grave mistakes, or put himself forward as the advocate of more erroneous principles. While he remains in the Exchequer, we may look in vain for the fiscal, financial, and monetary reforms so urgently required by the country. Better even the dull imbecility of Sir CHARLES WOOD than the active perversity of Mr. GLADSTONE—tiIe stub born incapacity of the man who would not move at all, than the undue rapidity of him whose movements are almost invariably in the wrong di rection. The frogs, when they had for some time endured the visitation of King STORK, deplored his less obnoxious predecessor the Royal Los; and strange as it may appear, Mr. GLADSTONE has proved that there may be even a worse Financial Minister than the present President of the India Board. minds, No, no ; that has not been the Noble Lord's fault hitheito ; tricky he is, but not a coward. Rather he has chivalrously defended colleagues eyen when known to be personally at variance with them. Had he felt their cause de- fensible, we believe he would have faced without blenching a majority of three to one. Perhaps the best test of his treatment of the Cabinet is—What would have been the result had Lord JosN's preposition to substitute PAL 11110TON for NEWCASTLE been adopted ? No ono can doubt that it would have saved the Ministry. But is it not Mr. GLADSTONE who is alleged to have constituted the impediment to every Mi nistry ?

The public would have regarded it as an indica- tion of earnestness, and either Mr. ROEBUCK would never have brought forward his motion, or, THEATRE ROYAL ADELPIII. Proprietor, Mr. B.

Mr. HERBERT, too, was one of those against whom the censure of the House of Commons was so unequivocally pronounc ed. Hi s heredi taryPro-Rus sianism was well known, and strong objections were entertained to the presence in the Cabinet, and that, too, in a department closely connected with the administration of the War, of the nephew of Prince Woßortzow--the sister's son of the Governor of Southern Russia. The question " Why spare Odessa 1" has been frequently asked. Could the desire to preserve uninjured the splendid and costly palace of the uncle of a Cabinet Minister of the Eng lish Secretary at War, havehad anything to do with if he had, the House and the public would have demanded a fair trial for Lord PALMERSTON, and refused to hold an inquest upon the past while the present was a guarantee for the future. The true history of the case, looking at broad features and discarding all the peddling incidents, is, that while Lord JOHN, as is his wont, in pub lic, always said the most generous things he could, indeed we believe more generous than true, of his Premier, the War had not long become an anxious and distressing matter before he and the Peelites, at least the Premier, the Duke of NEW OASTLE, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, were at practi cal and growing variance. The Whig section of the Cabin_s', were more in earnest in the War than the other party, while it had so means of giving effect to that earnestness. This leaked out pretty plainly in the letters and con- versations from the middle of November onwards; and we fully believe Lord Jomes statement that he had no reason to think his proposals for rec0n _,.....-4-:„- 4-1 , . War Department would have re ceived fair consideration. He saw a aeterumm- tion to resist all change on the ground of personal consideration for the• Duke of NEWCASTLE, and knowing the almost im possibility of overcoming such feelings in a man like Lord ABERDEEN, he tacitly made up his mind not to moot the question further, nor to hazard the harmony of the Cabinet by repeated interpo sitions. What Parliamentary or other claim the Peelites had to such a monopoly of Cabinet power it is difficult to see. Galatz. was killed. This is authentic. ROYAL STRAND THEATRE.

Lord JOHN'S defence, or further explanation, on Monday night, more than corroborates this gene ral view of the case. Ho gave it as his opinion that the Earl of ABERDEEN was the chief cause of the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S incompetency, and that with a different Premier, the Duke would have succeeded. "Had the Prime Minister been a man whose pursuits and disposition would lead him to hasten the necessary preparations for war, the Duke of Newcastle would have been found perfectly com petent for the department he held !" Again, when Mr. LAYARD pointed out the danger from an in crease of Russian strength by land in the Crimea, he observed " that was a very important question, [ but /cannot say that it met with that sufficient atten tion from, Lord Aberdeen which I could have hoped." These are Lord JOHN'S words, and when we bear in mind the proper reluctance of both sides to bring Cabinet consultations and differences before the public, we must think they furnish complete proof that the popular opinion of Lord ABERDEEN was known by Lord JOHN to be the correct one ; and that the result is, that our army in the Crimea has been almost sacrificed to Lord ABERDEEN'S want of interest in the War, and his determination to sustain Peelite predominance in the Cabinet. He proposed Lord PALMERSTON, in fact, to save Lord ABERDEEN certain that the only possible means of rectifying past mischief was either an efficient War Minister, or a War Minister like Lord PALISIEBB.STOIi, who would be a substitute for the Premier's inefficiency. These general considerations pressed painfully on the mind of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, while, on the other hand, he naturally shrank from upsetting a Government in time of war if it could be avoided. Hence his seeming, indeed his real, vacillation. But how, in such a state of mind, he could have been Leader of the House of Commons, in resist ing Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion, we cannot see. He was compelled to resign. Fe had to choose be tween the claims of a Cabinet, and the claims of Truth. Ho preferred those of Truth. that unfortunate decision ? At all events, the knowledge that the CzAn had a person over whom he might, through one of his leading subjects, exercise great influence must have had a con siderable effect on other Powers. Why, then, is he to be retained ? • Of Sir JIVES GRAHAM we can scarcely say that the head of the Admiralty is so completely unconnected with the management of the War as to be exonerated from the implied censure passed thereon ! The Administration of the Navy in the Euxine ! and the Baltic ! ! must be subjected to stringent investigation, and we con fess that we see little difference between the re tention of the War department by the Duke of NEWCASTLE and the Admiralty by " the Lord of Netherby." But everything yields in importance to the alleged determination to keep Lord Aim nirsal in some office. If that be attempted, fare well to every hope of Lord PALMERSTON' S success. Anything else might be tried, but that would be too bad. It would be what our northern brethren the countrymen of the ex-Premier, term " Cauld. hail het again !" an arrangement To-rolbing to the foelincia of the nation. Lord PALMERSTON may he assured that Lord ABERDEEN is the JONAH that must bo thrown overboard, if he hopes to steer the vessel of the State safely into port. As yet we only know that Lord PALMERSTON is to be the Premier, and Mr. HERBERT Home Secretary—the only other change being, as it is said, Lord PANKURE, better known 'as Mr. Fox MAUL; to the War Department. This is the old leaven still, and will not, we fear, be suited to the emergency. We want new blood— vigorous and energetic. We cannot say that as yet any symptoms are perceptible of the want being supplied or the groat difficulty removed. The "cards have been slightly shuffled," but that is all. The exchange of a few offices, and the substitution of Lord PANMURE for Lord JOHN RUSSELL, cannot be said to give the strength and stability to the Cabinet so urgently demanded by the nation.

The new Ministers met at Lord Palmerston's this afternoon, and after wards repaired by special train to Windsor, where her Majesty held a Privy Council, for the purpose of investing them with the seals of office. We certainly have been, and are, anything but partizans of Lord Joni" . RUSSELL. He is too cold and sneering an aristocrat to conciliate the attachment of the people at large, and of the journalists who advocate their cause. Ever ready to enlist their aid by eulogiums on democracy when in Opposition, and by most liberal exordiums to his speeches when in office, he has almost uni formly affronted those whose co-operation had raised him to power, by the niggardliness of his practical offers. Few of the popular measures of late years have not found in him an antagonist till resistance was useless ; and when he seemed to accept the popular wish, he was always a hearty supporter of some provoking or insulting limitation in favour of aristocratic exclusiveness, and in opposition to the people's rights. The principle which he avowed a year after its passing to have been that which guided his Reform Bill machinations is the one which appears to have impregnated all his public acts. We refer to his declaration when the act was found to work more for the aristocracy than for the many—that he had always intended to give the predominance to the landed aristocracy. We hold such an intention to be high treason against sound liberal principles. His duty was to give the citizens of the country their rights impartially, and if, that being done, the aristocracy, with all their advantages of posi tion, wealth, and influence, could hold their own, by all means to let them do so. We have even a grave quarrel with Lord JOHN for his declaration that he did not wish to deprive Russia of any of its (stolen) territories—a principle as mortifying to those who wish him political distinction as his celebrated finality dogma. • We deliberately hold that every man of the slightest pretensions to statesmanship ought to wish Russia to be deprived of all her conquests in the North, West, and South, and pre-eminently of Poland, Bessarabia, and Circassia. "Patience, and shuffle the cards 1 " The nation must perforce act on the advice given to DON QUIXOTTE by the Eidoion of Durindante in the Cavern. It must perforce haVe patience while the leaders, or would-be-leaders, of the future Government are " shuffling the cards," and striving to meet the crisis by new combinations of the old "pack." The popular branch of the Legislature is already manifesting strong symp toms of discontent ; and naturally so, for from what has been suffered to leak out, we cannot discern any prospect of a satisfactory solution of the existing difficulty, or anything that will make amends for the very prejudicial, if not destructive, procrastination that is taking place. As we have recently stated we do not blame Lord PALMERSTON for the delay. Other parties, who suffer their own personal feelings to interfere with and impede the public service, must bear the blame which they have so justly merited, and will most assuredly fall on those who hung back, on trivial or inadequate grounds during the present emergency. But we do condemn him for not displaying greater vigour and determination when he has the uncontrolled direction of affairs —for not fully availing himself of the unlimited powers with which he has been entrusted, and at once diverging from the beaten track—the ordi lutry tricks of Cabinet-making. Ve assume that he is in possession of such Powers, that a carte blanche has been placed in his hands, that he has been wholly emancipated from the trammels of Germanism, and is not, by a Mezentian Process, irretrievably fettered to the capqd mortuunt of Aberdeenism. We have too great reliance on the Noble Viscount—on his in dependence and manliness of character—.to s u ppose suppos that he would undertake the arduous an impor tant duty with which ho is charged on terms alike detrimental to his own reputation a n d to the national welfare. If he has not stipu izted for perfect freedom, he is not the man we have supposed him to be, and, we will add, not the man suited for the existing difficulty, the pilot with ability sufficient to weather the im- Pending storm ! We must, therefore, assume that be Possesses unlimited authority to enter into all the arrangements which he may consider essen tial for the formation of a strong Government. It must, therefore, be with his own free will, ex mero mote that he has been negotiating with the condemned portion of the Cabinet—with GLAD EITONX ! HERBERT ! ! GRAZ E I ! I and ABERDERN ! ! ! ! and that he has permitted the public business to We cannot, however, sympathise with some recent ferocious attacks upon the Noble Lord. We must confess that the endeavours of his col leagues and th© press to hunt him down have issued in convincing us that in the present case, in all that is substantial, he is fairly vindicated, and that he has failed, if at all, only in the tech nicalities of his resignation. He admitted an error of etiquette on that score ; and as the Duke Of NEWCASTLE was praised for his 'confessions, we do not see why Lord JOHN should not enjoy the same return. As to cowardice and desertion of his c9 ll eague s, we certainly replied s in our 91411 TITS SUN, LONDON, 'WItrINESDAY NVXNING, FRIEIItrAR, V, 16613. LATEST NEWS. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. WARSAW, FEB. 5. Intelligence from Sebastopol of the 29th Jan. has been received here. Nothing important had occurred. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 28. The Sultan intends raising a national loan, by voluntary subscriptions in Turkey. BRUSSELS, FIB. 5. M. trgedom, who is again charged with a spe cial mission to the Court of St. James's, has met General Wedol, but has not been able to proceed to London on account of indisposition. The following despatches were received in Paris yesterday : Eight Austrian merchant ships arrived at They were received by the Russians with a fire of musketry. The pilot of the brig Cleedenoven Russian troops are ravaging the Dobrudseha under the eyes of General Coronini. MARSEILLES, STH. consistory, spoke as follows of Piedmont :—" What a painful thing to say ! at the moment at which we speak, venerable brethren, a law is proposed in the Sardinian States which has for its object to destroy regular ecclesiastical institutions, and which tramples under foot and effaces, as far as possible, the rights of the Church. But we reserve to our selves to treat this grave subject as it merits, and to act as the case may seem to require." It is positively stated that, as g.nr 41 ' w 'Cul tifications of Eupatoria are completed, Omer Pacha will march on Sebastopol, and then, doubtless, a grand battle will be fought. The Russians have fallen back on the side o. VIENNA, 6Th. The telegraph via, Czernowitz brings accounts from Odessa to the Ist. At that date the thaw had commenced. There was no ice in the port, where 10 Austrian vessels were at anchor ; three of them have since left with their cargoes. The last accounts received at Odessa from Sebastopol announce that it rained during the day, and froze again at night. The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael were expected. A letter from Vienna, in the Breslau accette, sa y s The hope of recommencing the con ference for peace on the 6th now seems aban doned, and a new date namely, the 15th, is spoken of in diplomatic circles. It is ♦ery evi dent that Austria paid but little attention to the pacific assurances of Prince Gortschakoff, since the Cabinet of Vienna sent off to Paris and Lon don, the day after the declarations made by the Russian envoy, a note calling on the English and French Cabinets to complete the treaty of Dec. 2, by coming to an arrangement on the military mea sures which were to be taken." Advices from the Crimea via Constantinople and Marseilles confirm the Russian despatch pub lished yesterday, and show that our guns are still silent before Sebastopol. From the fact that Sir George Brown had left Malta for the camp, it was inferred that active measures were in prospect. The Third French Division had taken its place in the English trenches. A Sardinian general arrived at Constantinople on the 28th, to prepare for the reception of the Piedmontese army, which will be ready to embark by the time the English trans ports in which the troops are to be conveyed shall I have arrived. The Press of Vi';', ° o s 4 ,;a stated some time ago that Prince Stirbey W 3,4 forming a enrpc ;if In, 000 men to reinforce the Turkish army. But a letter from Bucharest of the 25th ult. in the Constitu tionnel asserts that, though Omer Paella four months back demanded such a reinforcement, nothing has been yet done towards forming it. The Hamburg lfews contains a letter from Copenhagen ,of the 2d, which says :—" The Folksthing adopted this day, , notwithstanding the opposition of the Minister of Public Worship, the proposition of the finance committee, tend ing to diminish the salaries fixed for the bishops by the preceding Minister, M. Ousted." LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA. On the night of the 20th the enemy kept up a sharp fire on the French lines, and this morning I hear that the French have made an attack upon a small position held by the enemy, which they have taken and retain. Some few days since the enemy were observed from Gordon's battery, about 6,000 in number, without cavalry or artillery, but with waggons laden and a rear-guard. They were marching from below Fort Saverneir, in the direc tion of the Post-house. About four p.m. yester day, nearly 2,000 Russians were seen marching into Sebastopol, and about the same number goiMg out. It was probably one party relieving the other. 330 sick were taken down from the camp the day before yesterday, and put on board ship. They ware taken down in artillery waggons, and by the French ambulances. Each Frenchman receives, on arrival, a glass of rum, and they bring back for the English two bags of biscuit on each of their mules. The French have twice our strength nu merically, and yet they can take down the greater part of our sick and bring us back biscuit. The troop; now receive wood from Bourghas, where it is brought by direction of Omer Pacha from the interior. The snow is gradually disappearing. It has just been reported that the enemy has made a show of cavalry in the Inkerman this after noon. The whole army has now plenty of warm clothing. The agents of the Crimean Army Fund had an interview with the Quartermaster-General yester day. No part of their stores has yet arrived. Yesterday a large convoy, apparently of provi sions, entered Sebastopol by the north side of the harbour in mid-day. Two new batteries were also unmasked yesterday, containing four guns, to all appearance set up to bear on the Woronzoff road and No. 1 battery on our left attack. These bat teries are between the garden and the redan. The weather still continues very mild, the snow has nearly disappeared. Our hutting goes on very slowly. There are not yet enough to cover the sick. The Trent came in late last night. She brought 267 mules, and harness complete, with 86 mule teers, gun platforms, carpenters' tools, and 400 boxes of oranges. The mules are for the ambulance corps principally. H.M.S. Gorgon, with 200 of the Rifles, has also arrived. The Cleopatra and Brandon have sailed with sick to Scutari, and the Negotiator, transport, is gone to Bourghas for wood. Sir George Brown is expected to arrive in a day or two. The roads and the camp are in a fearful state. The breaking up of the recent frost, and the melting of the snow has made the roads " knee deep." The enemy fired a great deal last night, but. nothing more than usual occurred. GOO of the enemy's cavalry have moved from near the Flag staff, which is on the north of the Tchernaya, down into the Inkerman. The Imperatrice, with drafts for the Ist, 4th, 7th, 20th, 23d, 28th, 44th, 46th, 77th, 95th, Ist Battalion Rifles, and two medical officers ; in all 15 officers, and nearly 900 men have arrived. CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Jan. 23.—The following has been issued : " GENERAL ORDER. "Head-Quarters before Sebastopol, Jan. 18, 1855. "At a general court-martial held at camp before Sebastopol, on the 12th January, 1855, in pursuance of an order of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., com manding the forces, dated the 9th of January, 1855 ; Lieutenant A.H.H. Mercer, 89th Regiment, was tried upon the following charges -- " Ist. For neglect of duty, in having, on the 29th day of December, 1854, left a detachment of his regi ment, of which he was sent in command, for the pur pose of bringing up stores, and for not having returned to his regitnent until about noon on the 31st December, 1854.

"Lieutenant Mercer ',las been acquitted of the 2d charge preferred against him, and has very properly been found guilty of the Ist charge, namely, of neglect of duty,' but, in the opinion of the Court, the offence was committed under circumstances which diminished the criminality of it. " From the character which Lieut. meteor has re - 11,1.1 .),;,v :vlO LOL ,orreetn,s ;11 the perform ance of his duties, the Commander of the Forces is willing to believe that Lieut. Mercer would not have been guilty of this neglect of duty had he been in the enjoyment of his usual healtt, and the lenient sentence of the Court is on that ground approved and confirmed. "The most injurious effects have been already found to ensue from officers sent on duty to Balaklava quitting the men of whom they are sent in charge, and for their, own private affairs delaying their return to camp. " Lord Raglan trusts that Lieutenant .Mercer will not again be guilty of an offence which is not only in di rect disobedience of an order recently published to the army, but it in the highest degree detrimental to the welfare and discipline of the soldier.

Boxer, arrived from the Cape this morning. Her news hay been anti cipated by the arrival of the Calcutta steam-ship from Australia. The Natal had a full cargo, chiefly of wool and copper ore, the latter from the newly-discovered mines at the Cape. The quantity of copper on board was about 200 tons. THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AT CHATHAM.—The investigation into the circumstances connected with the diabolical murder of Mrs. Catherine Bacon was resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clock, by Mr. Thomas Hill, coroner for the district, at the York Tavern. The jury having deliberated with closed doors for some time, re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Elizabeth Laws." BILLS 01 EXCHANGE AND PROMISSORY NOTES.—A bill, brought in by Messrs. Keating and Mullings, pro poses to facilitate the remedies ou bills of exchange and promissory notes by the prevention of frivolous or ficti tious defences to actions thereon. It provides that if the defendant do not obtain the leave of the Court or judge to appear, the plaintiff -nay sign judgment. This leave to appear may be given on the defendant's dis closing a defence to the action of affidavits satisfactory to the Court, or if reasonable ground be laid. The pro visions of the Common Law Procedure Acts of 1852 are incorporated with this act, which is confined to Eng land. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The Royal mail clipper ship Boomerang, Captain Brown, belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Company's " Black Ball" line of Australian packets, left the Mersey yesterday, at 12.35 p.m. for Melbourne, with 497 passengers and a full car go, consisting of 1,200 tons of general merchandise on board. She also carries out the February European mails, which are unusually heavy, comprising 327 bags of letters and newspapers, which her owners engage under a penalty to deliver in 65 days. Although only a month in port after completing her last voyage the Boomerang has, during that period, been fitted up in the most comfortable manner, and every improve ment possible for the passengers' convenience introduced. She was towed to sea by two powerful steamers, which would, however, only be able to take her a short dis tance, as with a fair wind from N.E. reported blowing in the Channel she will soon leave them behind. On the last trip the Boomerang made the line in 16 days, and as she starts in fine sailing trim, and with a capital wind, there is every reason to hope she will realise the anticipation formed of her. The Blanche Moore, Capt. Evans, built by Mr. Donald M`Kay, of Boston, will succeed the Boomerang, to he followed on the sth of April by the celebrated Marco Polo, lately chartered to carry the April mails from England to Melbourne. EMBEZZLEMENT DY A LIVERPOOL COMMISSION AGENT. —At the Liverpool Police-court, yesterday, before Mr. J. S.

HAYMA.RKET THEAT.RB. Mr. Buckstone has announced the speedy withdrawal of the favourite pantomime of Little 80-peep, in conse quence of some extraordinary novelties to be produced on the 26th instant. Miss Cushman's engagement will, from the same cause, terminate in a fortnight. On Saturday this great actress will appear, by special desire, in her character of Meg Merrilees. Rome. and Juliet has been greatly attractive, with Miss Cashman as Romeo, and the debutante, Miss Swanborough, as Juliet. This young lady, it is said, will become a permanent member of this popular theatre. The last morning per formance of the pantomime takes place on Saturday next. A. new comedy by Stirling Coyne, and a new farce by Oxenford, are in rehearsal. These, with the novelty alluded to, make up Mr. Buckstone's book till Easter, when Planch( appears with his annnal enter tainment, always se safe and so attractive at the Hay market. COURT CIRCULAR.

The Royal party proceeded to the terminus of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, and returned to Windsor by a special train. The Princess Mary of Cambridge visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at her residence, Gloucester 'douse ' Piccadilly. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yes terday, and concluded the hearing of an Appeal from Bauga,l, " Baboo Bhugwan Doss v. Lackmienath Rao Kaleea," Their Lordships also commenced the hearing of an Appeal from Bengal, " Dwarkadosa v. Jaakee does." General Cannon, in the eervioe of his Highness the Sultan, has arrived at Morley's Hotel, from the Crimea. The screw-ship Le Fleurus, 650-horse power, has loft Toulon for Algiers to embark troops for the Crimea. The French commander-in-chief of the Piraeus an nounces the arrival of La Reine Hortense (the Emperor's screw-yacht) and her consort Le Sumroo with huts for the troops, on the 39th. They would. arrive at Con stantinople about the let of February. The French ships Cameleon, from the Pirmus, and the Gorgon, from Constantinople, arrived at Toulon on the niglits of the 3d arid 4th of January. The French frigate La Reine Blanche arrived at Toulon, Feb. 4, from Brest. We learn by telegraph that the British screw two decker, St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. H. Koppel, with 600 troops from Qaeonstown, Lad arrived at Constantinople en, route to the Crimea. The Amateur Musical Society re-commenced its per formances on Monday evening, at the Hanover-square rooms. The orchestra, notwithstanding the absence of several of its former members in the Crimea, does not appear to be numerically weaker than before. The play ing at all events is quite as good, and le well entitled to commendation. ^ - SPAIN . The Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived. In the Cortes, the Minister of Grace and Justice announced, in answer to a question, that the news paper the Cato lice should be prosecuted for having published the Pope's bull on the Immaculate Con ception before it had received the sanction of the Government. The discussion on the motion of M. Rios Rosas, relative to the question of national sovereignty in the constitution, was then resumed. The motion of M. Rios Rosas was then put to the vote and rejected by 214 votes to 18. It has been discovered, says the Espana, that the revolutionary movement which was to have taken place at Madrid on the 21st, had ramifications at Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, and other places. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter of the 2d which says :—" The Corriere Italiano has an nounced that Holland has concluded a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, with England and France. It is, in fact, certain, that at the grand diplomatic soiree given by Baron de Bour queney the evening before last, Baron de Heeckeren, the Dutch Ambassador at Vienna, was paid the most particular attention to by the French Ambassador. Some persons go the length of saying that Baron de Heeckeren has confirmed the news given by the Corriere Italiano." A letter from Dresden, in the Cologne Gazette, gives an analysis of a despatch of the Saxon Go vernment of the 19th ult. It was addressed to the Saxon Minister at Vienna, but has been commu nicated to the other German Cabinets. It may be considered, the letter says, as a reply to the Aus trian confidential note of the 14th and declares that Saxony will subrnif ...reservedly to whatever 1,- aecision of the majority of the Diet. THE PACIFIC_ SOUTHAMPTON ' Tuesday, Feb. 6.—By the Rua' Mail steam-ship Solent we have received our usua files of journals and correspondence from the Pacific ports via Panama. From Valparaiso our accounts are to the 15th, and Callao the 24th of December. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Lima arrived at Panama on the 4th ult. with tho semi-monthly mail from the south-west coast, 33 passengers, and $380,000 in specie, principally silver for England. ! Advices from Chili state that throughout the re public the greatest quiet prevailed in political mat ters. The works of the Santiago Railroad were progressing. In the Conception and Coquimbo lines no progress had been made. The state of the Coquimbo mines was not so flattering as hitherto, the number not yielding being considerable. Busi ness, on the average, had been more brisk, and many vessels with well-selected cargoes had arrived. From Peru we learn that Cassilla was still within a short distance of Lima, but his movements were unknown, nor were the Government aware by which of the many roads he intended marching on the capital. The Herald° of the 25th of December, says : " The Government has a force of 1,000 cavalry, well armed and mounted, and 5,000 infantry, besides 18 guns in good order. Castilla is said to have almost an equal number of men, but they are not so well equipped. By the last accounts he was concentrating his forces at Cienaquilla, a point six or seven leagues distant from Lima." The same journal states, that on the morning of the 25th of Decamber President Echenique left Lima to inspect his army, by whom he was received with great enthusiasm. Private accounts state that the troops showed no enthusiasm at all, and that Echenique's downfall was daily expected. The whole of the south was in the hands of the Revolu tionists, and the feeling of the majority of the people with them. A decree of Echenique, doing a way with some of the restrictions on commerce, had been published. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Solent, Capt. Jellicoe, has arrived here with dates from Vera Cruz, Jan. 4 ; Havannah, 10th ; Jamaica, 11th ; Barbadoes, 11th ; Trinidad, 9th ; St. Thomas's, 17 th . The Solent brings 33 passengers, 910,000 dols. in specie, and a mixed cargo, and some specimens ' from Mexico for the Exhibition at Paris. During her homeward voyage s h e h as Errorieneed some very heavy weather. The Plata arrived out at St. Thomas's on the 17th ult. At St. Lucia the cholera bad nearly disappeared. Planters were about commencing the crop, but the wet weather which was prevailing was very unfa vourable to the work. treat anxiety was exhi bited for news from the seat of war. At British Guiana the weather was fine, and suited admirably both the growing cane and the manufacture of sugar. The crop was reported as heavy. Great scarcity of labour existed, and mer chants complained of dull times. Imports, how ever, were large, and prices of every al tick of commerce ruled high. At Granada business was dull and money in demand. The necessaries of life were very dear, and luxuries unsaleable. The weather was showery, and along the coasts the wind had been high. Some slight improvement had taken place in the health of the island, but many persons were still suffering from fever. Preparations were being made for commencing the forthcoming sugar crop, but prospects of the worst harvest ever experienced in the island presented themselves. From Jamaica there is no news of importance. MANTEUFFEL'S CIRCULAR TO TELE GERMAN COURTS. We find in the Post Arnpt Gazette the following circular-despatch addressed by Prussia to her agents at the German Courts, dated Berlin, 17th Jan.:— " The note addressed to Count Arnim on the sth instant, and which was communicated to you on the 6th, has informed your Excellency of the points of view which serve as a rule for our 'attitude, in presence of the negotiations opened between the Irriperial (Russian) Ambassador and the representa tives of England, France, and Austria. These ne gotiations have in the interval already led to a happy result, for the said representatives are agreed in admitting that their particular interpretation 0" the basis, which is to serve as the foundation Of pacific negotiations, does not differ in such a man ner ri,s to form an obstacle to the opening of the said negotiations. The cabinet of Vienna has in conse quence ordered its representatives at Paris and London to demand from those courts instructions and full powers for their representatives at Vienna for the purpose of opening pacific deliberations, and has at the same time de clared itself ready to carry out the stipulations contained in Art. 5 of the convention of Dec. 2, in order to con solidate more directly the ulterior military measures with France and England in the event of the projected con ferences not leading to any result. Whatever may be the satisfaction with which we hail the preliminary under staudiug which has taken place in the views of the four Powers, we ere not the less compelled not to renounce the attitude which we have hitherto maintained, and the reserves connected therewith. If the efforts to come to an understanding should fail, we shall only con sider ourselves bound, as your Excellency must have seen by our instruction to Count Arnim, dated the sth instant, to fulfil the obligations imposed on us by the convention of April 20 and by the additional article of November 16, if we are in a state to exer cise on the course of the negotiations, that influence which we think we have a right to claim on account of our previous participation in the Conferences of Vienna, and in virtue of our European position. With a consci ousness of the interests and the duties which closely unite us to our German confederates, we cannot interpret dif ferently the obligation which they have imposed on themselves in acceding to the Prusse-Austrian stipulations, and we can only recommend the German Cabinets allied to us to demand front the Diet the accomplishment of obligations, which, supported on what the belligerent Powers exact on the one hand, and accord on the other, may express the full conviction of their right and their inalienable participation. Your Excellency will explain yourself in this sense to the Governments to which you have the honour of being accredited, and you will at the same time express the hope of seeing our point of view, which is commanded by a common interest, not only admitted, but executed de facto, on the part of our confederates. Whatever your Excel lency may have to inform us of on this subject will be of the most lively interest to us.---I am, &e., " IVIANTEUFFEL."

SHOOTING AT THE Ein'EROE or RUSSlA.—Private W. Gilson and Private W. Gallabar, of the 99th Regiment, were tried by district court-martial at Chatham for the offence of making away with their ammunition in shoot ing at the Emperor of Russia, whom severe had drawn on the barrack table with chalk. A most, and, a s we think, unnecessary , sentence has been passed u p on them—that of Gibson to 52 da y s with hard labour, and Gallahar to 1 62 days with hard labour in the miitary prison, Fort Clarence.
