A most ungallant victory has Lord PALMER - STON just gained. Gentlemen first, was the vote of his majority of eighteen (Query, seventeen ?) last night. All England over, tea is the Lady's offer ; all England over, the newspaper her unsocial antagonist, while she pours the tea for an absorbed reader who thinks more of Mr. GLADSTONE'S or of Mr. DISRAELI'S speech than of hers. Had females votes at elections, as Austria has just ordained in that more chivalious land, we may well doubt whether even the charms of Mr. GLADSTONE'S eloquence or the pleasantry of a septuagenarian Cupid dare have ventured on setting paper against tea. The ladies would have been against him at the next election—we were going to say, such is the force of habit—to a man. However, the ladies must console themselves with the prospect of getting their next three-volume novel a penny, possibly one penny threefarthings, cheaper. If the mistress takes any of the penny serials for the benefit of the kitchen or servants'-hall, she will not, of course, expect to get a farthing off them. We are afraid our consolation is at least a poor one, and that her reply would still be, if Mr. GLADSTONE would have taken the ladies' advice, they would have preferred cheaper tea to cheaper paper in which to wrap it ; and as to his newspapers, they don't want the unsocial things. We suppose, however, the house, in its wisdom, has now settled the question. There is a majority —a majority of seventeen in a house office hundred and seventy-five members—that is at least enough. True, Mr. DISRAELI intimated that it was hardly a majority, not being yet out of its teens, but he doubtless remembers well the effect of majorities not out of their teens on the fate of a Government. In the present case it is of no use to deny that the majority was the result of a great party struggle ; and though the hon. member for Bucks 'wished for delay till Monday " to reflect on what had taken place," we hardly expect that the battle will be then formally renewed. We were told, indeed, at the Mansion House, that the Conservatives were admirably drilled, and therefore it is possible that they may listen to the muster call again on Monday ; but we rather anticipate that the general feeling will be that the battle has been once fairly fought on the ground and with the weapons chosen by themselves, and that it would hardly be honourable to renew it, and to fight, in appearance at least, factiously for what had once been settled. Of course, Mr. DISRAELI is entitled to fight on the repeal of the paper duty as well as on the retention of the tea duties ; but be will come to it with the disadvantages that both he and Lord DERBY have admitted, that the surplus is not to be questioned, that room therefore is left for the re peal of the paper duty, and that not to vote its re peal will therefore be to give the Chancellor of the Exchequer more money than he asks or wants. As to the Lords, we must suppose from the very explicit language of Lord DERBY, at the Mansion House, that they do not intend to renew the fight this year with the Commons; that what the Com mo ns send u p they will pass; and we supp ose the majority being only in its teens will make no difference. It may be worth while to quote again the words of his lordship. After expressing his ° Pinion that the Government, if in a minority, would not venture to appeal to the country with so unpo pular eery as duty on tea "Down with duty on paper — up with n-- -a remark, b y th e by, which showed how much h e regarded as a party division —he re the decision of last nig ht remarked, "I have said this is a question for the House of Commons to consider, and I say emphatically for the Roue of Commons, because no one can be more ready than say, that to the House of Commons myself to b e l e , !ics exclu sively imposition of taxes and the regulatio n of the taxation of the country ; and that when a surplus had been established to the satisfaction of th e house, and they have formed the judgment with respect to the best mode of dealing with that sur plus, they need not apprehend what some persons pretend to apprehend —any collision upon such a judgment between the two houses of Parliament." Again, having justified the Lords' course last year as an exceptional one, he added "There being a surplus, it is for the House of Commons to decide how that surplus should be applied, and if there should be any persons who imagine that upon such a subject there can be any collision between the t w o Houses of Parliament, they know little the spirit which actuates the House of Lords, or the moderation which is prescribed by the Constitu tion) and which I am sure will be exercised by that branch of the Legislature. The Houst of Lords THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1861. are too well aware of their own dignity, they have too much respect for themselves and fer the great interests which are confided to them, to think for a single moment of resenting from petty pique the deliberate action of the House of Commons." We must suppose it is the fear on the part of the Commons of being supposed to look to their own class, but we certainly think of all taxes that have a claim to remission the Income Tax stands first. Via is emphatically a war tax, or at best a tax for an exigency such as that with which Sir R. PEEL began his financial reforms. It has now, compared with all other taxes, a prior claim to abolition. It is still, as ever, the most personally offensive tax which a free man, and especially a free Englishman, can pay ; it s as king personal secrets will ever make it o di ous. its unequal pressure makes it the sum of fiscal injustice ; the provocation of its injustice, poss ibility of evasion, make it the st ronges t and tein theptation to fraud. It may be borne as a neces sity, but as a permanent tax it is unendurable. In war time we make up our minds to hardships, but in time of peace we ought to be taxed with common equity. We cannot doubt, also, that it robs most other taxes, and checks trade as much as even an Excise duty. If the tax gatherer curtails the income of the middle classes, of course they must spend so much less, and employ so much less labour. Thousands of families even give up a newspaper, and purchase less of tea, because the Income Tax absorb their hard-earned money, and deprives them of the most reasonable luxuries. Had the Income Tax been reduced this year to sevenpence, we cannot doubt that trade and commerce would have gained more by it than by either leaving the duty on tea or repealing that on paper ; at the same time the revenue would have felt the advantage of in creased family expenditure. The forms of the house will permit Mr. DISRAELI to make such an amendment when the bill is brought before it, and if he does he will, we believe, have such support from outside as he has not yet experienced. Whether consumers would feel any immediate relief from lower tea duties, may be doubted—none will doubt the relief that would be instantly given by the reduction of the income tax. How ca many a slip 'twist the cup and the lip" has not the Despotic Party upon the Continent had of late ! Not in one country alone, but in many countries. The Defence of Gaeta was to restore FRANCIS 11. safe and sound to his throne as Lord Paramount of the Two Sicilies. But—alas ! after a protracted defence—Gaeta fell, as every be leaguered fortress somehow does fall in the end. The disturbances in the Abruzzi were to do the work of re-habilitation a little later on more effec tually. A spark kindled there by an emissary of the exiled monarch was to light up a conflagration that would scare away Garibaldians and Pied montese, and reveal to astonished Europe the triumphal return of the ex-King—like the last scene of the last act of" Masaniello," with GARIBALDI, of course, as the doomed Fisherman. Lamentable to relate, however, the fuse was damp or the gun powder itself saturated with the despairing tears of those who laid the train—the train itself would not light, it spluttered and flashed for a moment or two like a bad "squib," or, perhaps, we should call it more appropriataly a bad " cracker"—and lo! there was no conflagration. In an opposite corner of the European Continent—there was a golden opportunity opening like a Fairy Future before the Czar ALEXANDER ! Autocracy was in the Ascendant ! Despotism was taking the initiative in wholesale phil an th ropy . T he r Emperor-High-Priest, the Head of the Greek Church, the irresponsible Monarch of All the Russias, by a stroke of his grand autocratic pen, manumitted 20,000,000 serfs out of the 60,000,000 of the Muscovite Population. Scarcely, however, had Western Europe awakened to a recognition of this astonishing incident in the history of modern civilisation, when—Piff! Paff!—the streets of Warsaw were swimming with blood ; the pavements were littered with dead, wounded, and dying; the Poles, men, women, children, were being massacred by the order of Prince GORTS- I CIIAKOFF in the name and at the behest of his Im- perial MAJESTY the Emperor-Philanthropist. " Hope," there too, as in the song, " told a flatter ing tale." The halcyon vision of Russia forsaking an Autocracy for a Constitutional form of Govern ment faded out—almost before the news had been proclaimed that the twenty million serfs had been emancipated. The jubilee caused by the " decree" died out under the wailing heard from the scene of the massacre. Reverting, however, to Italy, there was that—first of all Coolness, but after wards—fierce and stormy Quarrel between GARIBALDI On the one part, and upon either side of him, to the right and to the left, the KING'S Minister and the KING'S General, CA YOUR and CIALDINI. What hopes must thero not have been raised in the hearts of the aspirants for Reactionary Honours by the tidings of that alarm- ing scene in the Italian Parliament ! Everything was pronounced then to be, on the contrary, hope less with the popular party in the Roman penin sula. GARIBALDI would never be reconciled more to Count CAVOUR—he could never again grasp the hand of the man who, in his picturesque and touch ing phrase, had rendered him him of all men ! " a Foreigner in his own country," that country, too, which his sword had guided to political independence. GARIBALDI, again, could never embrace as a " brother-in-arms" that out-spoken CIALDINI, who had reviled him—him, GARIBALDI! -- so loudly and un compromisingly. Yet—somehow here again the Reactionists have proved to have been counting as usual without their host. GARIBALDI did concede in both instances—to the right and to the left—did grasp the hand of CAvoun, did embrace his reviler, CIALDINI. The champions of Continental despotism thereby have had another lesson of magnanimity from that foremost among the great Leaders of Men now opposed to them. For the good of the cause he had at heart, for the furtherance to the uttermost of those interests for which he has been striving so heroically during a whole lifetime, GARIBALDI could, and did, scatter to the winds all idea of any thin; at all in the way of mere personal considera- tion. Bitterly though he has felt, though he still feels, the yielding up of his native land (Savoy) to France —he has yet dashed aside his poignant re collections of that dread calamity, and, for the sake of Italy, has consented to a reconciliation with the " 1 9 Minister (CAvouit) by whom the concession was—retd contrived utAiteciti3gAvittpeera a v n i d accomplished. Wrathful though Lbt could not, possibly, but have been upon General CIALto"' in direct • haughty words of reproof, or rather of sented, condescended which he was addressed by instant reconciliation, — et has the ex-Dictator con for the sake of Italy, to an flagrant reviler and e " with CIALDINI, his vituperator ! Let but the popular party take a lesson from the course pursued in this critical emergency by t h° lisrra - t of c sl little iea a ct p oe , r f e eh r ai a rs . Let but the other leaders - of the P emulate his self abnegation, his self-sacrifice, party self-forgetfulness, and they have b u t even from their most formidable antagonists. It was the union of the parallel rods bound around the Praetorian axe that constituted the strength of the Consular Fasces. Let but the Liberals remember what was therein symbolised, and act amongst themselves accordingly. Tho need there is for this harmonious combination is worthy of consideration here at home, moreover, as well as far and wide over the European Continent. A letter, addressed to a weekly contemporary, is worth the attention of all who take an interest in the building trades strike, or in the Ballot, or in both. At Bolton the masters, both spinners and power-loom weavers, considered a reduction of five per cent. on the wages of their operatives to be necessary. The men struck, and had been on strike for six weeks. The leaders of the Spinners' Union advised the men to accept the reduction, and to ask for a rise when trade improved. This prudent advice was clamoured down by many of the more thoughtless, and there is no doubt that much suffer ing and privation was in consequence endured by many families, for it seems as if the younger hands were the most opposed to accepting the advice of the Union. Fortunately, however, it occurred, to what seemed to be the minority of the prudent ones, to suggest that a ballot should be taken in each mill whether the negotiation with the employers should be left in the hands of the committee which had given them the wise 'counsel when a decided majority voted the affirmative. The weavers had been out for a longer period, and they voted direct on the question " Going in or stopping out." Again the majority, protected by the Ballot, " voted for going on with their work rather than begging from the public.' Thus, in two instances, two things were plainly proved respecting working men. First, that the majority of them are men of sound common sense, open to conviction, and ready to act wisely if at liberty to do so. Secondly, that working men, like all other men, may be intimidated by a noisy ma jority, and compelled to act in opposition to their better judgment. The shame of seeming to desert one's party, above all the fear of annoyance, have the same effect on Bolton operatives as on the Mi nisterial and Opposition benches of the House of Commons. Tyrannically minded workmen are to be found as well as tyrannically minded landlords, and understand as well how, in their way, to coerce their fellow men. Is the example we have quoted not worth the attention of the thousands of right minded men connected with the present strike in the building trades. Why should not they, now, demand a ballot of the whole body on the question Ns hether to accept the last offer of the masters, to work by the hour, with a Saturday half-holiday and an advance of wages, or to stand out for nine hours a day and the old pay. From the manner in which the masters' proposal has been received we have little doubt that the vast majority of the operatives in these trades would joyfully accept the masters' offer, and that a ballot would show that the men really appreciated the conciliatory spirit in which that offer was made. Politicians, too, may certainly learn their lesson from the spinners and weavers of Bolton. They see that amongst them the Ballot gave the majority to what even the other side would confess were moderate counsels. Nor have we the smallest doubt that in this sense, what Lord DERBY calls " that skulking hole of political cowardice—vote by Ballot,' would be found to be eminently Con servative. Men are never so moderate as when their action is uninfluenced by external excitement, when they are thrown upon judgment and conscience, and the calm calculations of prudence, just because they cannot be appealed to by either bribes or threats, or by the unreasoning clamour of agitators and their partizans. Conservatism sub sists now by bribery in many boroughs, by influence in small agricultural boroughs, and by direct exertion of landlord power in the counties. For this artificial, bad, and tyrannical Conservatism, the Ballot would substitute a better. There would be a great deal of Conservatism still, but it would be that of the moderate and the prudent, of those who thought safety of more consequence than travelling by the Reform Express Train. THE LATE MR. HERBERT COLERIDGE.—We an nounce with much regret the premature death of one whose early promise gave high hopes of future eminence. From his father, Henry Nelson Coleridge, and his mother, Sarah Coleridge, the daughter of the poet and philosopher, Her bert Coleridge seemed to have inherited all the genius of that gifted family. His career at Oxford was crowned with the highest attainable honours. He took a double first in the Easter term of 1852. On leaving the Univer sity he was called to the bar, but literature continued to occupy his leisure. He became secretary to the Philologi cal Society, and was associated with the Dean of Westmin ster in a project for rescuing from oblivion and restoring to the English language words used by the best writers of the 17th century, but not acknowledged by Johnson and his successors. For the last five years, we believe, his life and energies have been gradually undermined by the fatal disease which so often accompanies genius and sensibility, and which has now brought him to an early grave.— Guardian. It appears that, although the East Indian Rail way Company have taken power to issue new shares for £6,000,000, the sum positively required is only £3,000,000, two-thirds of which will be raised this year and one-third next. The remaining £3,000,000 is contemplated for the Jubbulpore and Allahabad line, the construction of which is indefinitely deferred. ROBBERY BY A LETTER-CARRIER.-Yesterday at the Guildhall Police-court John Rensch, a letter-carrier in the employ of the General Post-office, was charged with stealing two post letters, containing the corresponding halves of 16 Bank of England notes of the value of £l6O, and cheque for £l7 10s. 7d., the property of the Postmaster- General, and Mary Ann Rensch, the wife of the prisoner, was charged with feloniously receiving several of the stolen notes. Both prisoners were fully committed. MARRYING A WARD IN CHANCERY.—Yesterday an application was made to Vice-Chancellor Kindersley, for the interference of the Court in the case of Miss Emily Keats ; her guardians alleging that she had married Mr. Augustus Garland, of the Guards, without their consent. The Court took time to consider its decision. THE WAR EFIELD ELECTION.—The judges in the Common nem, informed Mr. Bovill yesterday, that they would take time to consider his application for a writ of habeas in the case of Jose Fernandez, THE REPORTED WRECK OF H.M.S. WASP.—It is believed that no intelligence had been received at the Admiralty down to last evening of the report stating that her Majesty's screw sloop Wasp, 13 guns, Commander Charles Stirling, had struck on a coral reef in llango Bay on the 28th January. The crew, according to the state ment, had been landed upon a small island about a mile distant from the wreck, living in tents, hoping at the next ensuing spring tides to get the ship afloat. THE LATE MURDER AT STEPNEY.—The question of ownership of the property of the late Mrs. Emsley, who was FO foully murdered by Mullins, and for which he expif.ted his crime on the scaffold some months since, is likely to be prominently brought before the public. The deceased lady, as is well known, was possessed of large household property in the neighbourhood of Bethnal-green and Stepney ; and at the time of her death, she having died intestate, and without leaving any heir at law or next of kin, the Attorney-General, on the part of the Crown, claimed to be entitled to the property. A claimant, however, has started up, in the person of a gentleman named Williams, who claims to be her heir at law and next of kin through a sister of the unfortunate lady, and to establish such claim he has already, through his solicitors, commenced upwards of 200 actions of ejectment, to recover possession of the disputed property, and instituted suits in Chancery as against Mr., Rose, her late solicitor, and the Attorney-General, to este • blish his rights ; and in the suit against Mr. Rose, who claims to be a mortgagee of thegreater portion of the premises for moneys advanced, he, yesterday, through Mr. Selwyn, Q. C., and Mr. Bevir, his counsel, applied to the Master of the Rolls, Sir J. Romilly, for an injunction to restrain Mr. Rose from selling or disposing of the property so mut t • gaged, on the ground that the advances had been repaid. Mr. Roundell Palmer, QC., and Mr. Berkeley opposed the application, upon which the Master of the Rolls refused the injunction, and ordered the matter to stand over until the cause came on for hearing.

The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer Edinburgh, Capt. Brooks, from New York on the 20th April, has arrived here. The Governor of Maryland had informed Presi dent Lincoln that he would send troops for the protection of Washington, but not for the invasion of the South. All the Northern regiments will have to proceed to Washington by sea. No clearances were granted in New York to ships bound for Southern ports. We have received Boston and Portland papers to the 20th ultimo. As may be supposed from the summary of the news published yesterday, they are filled with despatches of a warlike and alarming character from various parts of the States. Re specting the seizure of the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, details are supplied in the following tele grams CARLISLE, PA,, April 19.--Lieutenant Jones, late in com mand of Harper's Ferry, arrived with his command, forty three men, at three o'clock this afternoon. The lieutenant having been advised that a force of 2,500 troops were ordered by the governor to take possession of Harper's Ferry, and finding his position untenable, under the direction of the War department, he destroyed all the munitions of war, the armoury, arsenal, and buildings. He withdrew his command under cover of night, and almost in the presence of 2,500 troops. He lost three men. Fifteen thousand stands of arms were destroyed. His command made a forced march of 30 miles last night, from Harper's Ferry to llaggerstown, Md. They look much worn and fatigued. They were en thusiastically received by the entire population of this place. HARRISBURG, PA., April 19 . - -Lieutenant Jones, who is here, says, as the Federal troops at Harper's Ferry rushed across the Potomac bridge, people rushed into the arsenal, and ho believes a large number perished, as repeated explo sions occurred. Ho saw the light of the burning building many miles. Two Ohio regiments arrived to-night. They will stay until the Pennsylvanians are ready to march. An abundance of arms for the latter will reach hero to-morrow. Major Simonton, commander of the Pittsburg Arsenal, whose fidelity is suspected, is watched by the committee of safety. Governor Hicks, of Maryland, declines by tele graph to let any more armed troops pass through Balti more. Lieutenant Jones states that, hearing yesterday that 600 Virginians were approaching by the Winchester road, they put piles of powder straw in all the buildings, and quietly awaited their approach. The picket guard gave the alarm and the garrison set fire to the outhouses, carpenters' shops, and p ow d er -h ouses , an d b egan a retreat. Citizens of Harper's Ferry, evidently in league with the party advancing to seize the arsenal, were instantly in arms, and pursued, and firing upon them killed two of the regu lars. Two others deserted before the troops reached Ha gerstown. They marched all night, having missed the railroad train. At Hagerstown they took omnibuses to Chambersbury, where they arrived much exhausted with their night march. They were received with loud cheers along their route to Carlisle. The reported assault upon the Massachusetts regiment in Baltimore occasioned intense excitement among the troops. Camp Curtin swear terrible vengeance. There are 3,000 men here. The Boston Journal gives the following account of the attack on the Massachusetts regiment at Baltimore on the 18th ult.:-- At the President-street depot of the Philadelphia Rail road a large crowd assembled in anticipation of the arrival of a large number of troops from New York and Massa chusetts. Shortlyafter eleven the train from Philadelphia, comprising 29 cars, arrived at the depot. Without disem barking the soldiers from the train, the general cars had horses attached, and about nine were drawn along Pratt street to the Camden station, the first six without creating any marked objection. For same reason the horses attached to the seventh car became reetive, and were taken from the car at the Pratt-street bridge, and the car moved w ith ou t their aid to within a short distance of Gay-street, between Gay and Frederick streets. A number of labourers were engaged in repairing the bed of the street, and just at the moment the car reached Gay-street, they were engaged in removing the cobble stones from the principal portion of the street. Some thirty or forty men assembled at this point, having followed the car from the depot, and with cheers for Davis and the confederacy, hurled bitter taunts at the Northern black republicans, as they termed them. This continuedfor several minutes, when as the horses were again attached and the car moved off it was proposed to stone it. Before the cars had gone twenty yards, almost every window therein was broken, and a portion of the crowd followed, hurling pavine. stones. The eighth car was treated in the same manner, but the ninth car, apparently being empty, or at least no person being visible, escaped only with one stone. The crowd exulted in their work, ex claiming that black republicans should not pass through Maryland. A lapse of five minutes succeeded, a number of respectable persons meanwhile urging the crowd to tear up the track. After the first train passed, one was observed on the Pratt-street-bridge, when anchors were dragged on the track at the corner of Gay-street, and part of the track taken up. Observing this, the cars were turned back to President-street depot, and the troops disembarked and prepared to march through the streets. Mayor Brown, with a number cf police, appeared at their head, and led the way. They came away at a brisk pace, and when they reached Center Market space, an immenEte concourse of Wople closed i n b e hi n d th em, an d commenced stoning them. hen they reached Gay-street, where the track had been taken up, a large crowd of men armed with paving stones showered them on their heads with such force that several of them were knocked down in the ranks. After lying a few minutes they crowded into the stores on Pratt-street. At the corner of South and Pratt streets a man fired a pistol into the ranks of tho militia, when those in the rear ranks immediately wheeled and fired upon their assailants, and several were wounded. The guns of the soldiers that had fallen wounded were seized and fired upon the ranks with fatal effect. In two or three instances after they reached Culvert-street the troops succeeded in check ing their pursuers by rapid fire, which brought down two or three, and were not much molested until they reached Howard-street, where another large crowd was assembled. Some stones wero thrown at them, but their guns were not loaded, and they passed on through a dense crowd down Howard-street towards the depot. The scene on Pratt-street was of a most startling cha racter, the wounded soldiers, three in number, were taken up carefully, and carried to places of safety by citizens. Along the street at the Camden station, w h ere t ra i ns l eave for Washington, there were assembled a largo detachment of police under direction of Marshal Kane. . It soon appeared that orders were given to clear the tracks near the main depot building. This was done, and soon after a large passenger car of the Philadelphia Railroad came up at a rapid rate filled with soldiers. The car was soon followed by about 16 more, all occupied by troops. Upon inquiry it was ascertained they consisted of the 6th Regiment of Massachusetts Infantry, in all 11 companies, with an aggregate of 860 men. As soon as the train arrived sores of the troops were com pelled to change cars, when they were hooted at by the crowd, which made no overt act. Several young men ap peared at one of the cars, and displayed revolvers, where upon the captain of one of the companies drew his sword, and declared he would protect his men. Many expected the train would start immediately, but it did not move until half-past twelve, a delay being occasioned by the fact that President Garrett had received information that a large crowd of excited men had determined to tear up the track and blow up the bridges, and thereby prevent the passage of the train. In a few minutes after the train left a discharge of fire arms attracted the attention of the crowd to the corner of Pratt and Howard Streets, where a body of infantry from one of the Northern Stites, about 150 strong, was seen ra pidly approaching the depot, and no doubt anxious to reach the cars. The excitement was beyond description, and a man dis playing a flag of the Confederate States seemed to be the rallying point for the people. Some assaulted the infantry with stones, when a number of the latter discharged their muskets. At least twenty shots were fired, but as far as learned no person was injured. There seemed to be but little discipline among the troops, especially as they rushed along pell-mell. Whilst they were entering the"cars a crowd of young men gave them several volleys of bricks and stones, some of which demolished a car window, whereupon three or four muskets v ere pointed through the car windows and fired, but no one was injured. Whilst this body was pass ing near the corner of Pratt and Charles streets they got in collision with the crowd, and firing took place. One of the soldiers, named Robins, of the company from Stonington, Conn. (Stoneham), is supposed to be mortally wounded. He was wounded in the back part of the head, and fell to the ground. The train with the second detachment left at a quarter-past 1. Them are rumours of an intended attack on Fort WHonry. Further details may be gathered from later despatches from Baltimore. BALTIMORE, April 19.—A crowd broke into the ware house of Paterson and Walfert, on Long Dock, this even ing, and took therefrom 400 rifles and swords. Squads are parading the strept, ,4 fully armod, nn the look-out for mili tary from the North, expected to-night. Have - just heard that the Pennsylvania volunteers and the 7th New York regiment are coming. Fear there will be bloody work. BALTIMORE, April 19.—R. W. Davis of this city was shot dead near the Camden station. It is reported that the Philadelphians are now at the outer depot. The president of the road ordered the train back, at the urgent request of the mayor and governor. They are already off. John M'Cann, P. Griffin, and G. Needham, three citizens, are mortilly wounded. Four of the Massachusetts troops were killed and several wounded. It is impossible to learn their names. _ BALTIMORE, April 10.—The town meeting in Monu ment-square this afternoon. was attended by an immense crowd. The state flag was hoisted. Mayor Brown said he was opposed to the call of the President in spirit and object, but as Maryland was still in the Union he had exerted him self to his utmost ability to protect- the passage of troops through the city. He, however, felt that this should not be, and had telegraphed to the President urging that no more troops be sent through. Governor Hicks was sent for, and said ho was opposed to secession, but the right of revo lution could not be disputed. It was folly to attempt to subjugate the South, and ho hoped the North and the ad ministration would see the impracticability of doing so. He was still devoted to the Union, and he hoped to see a re construction of it. (Shoats, " No, never.") The governor replied that he should bow to the decision of the people. Speeches were made by Messre. Teakle, Wallis, W. C. Preston, and others, justifying the people of Baltimore, and declaring that no northern troops should invade their soil to subjugate and make war on their brethren of the South. Tho speakers counselled peace, and urged that the laws be respected and obeyed. All is quiet to-night. The military and police combined guard the city. Tho streets are com paratively deserted. Here and there are small knots of people discussing the events of the day. Correct list of the killed and wounded so far as known : Military—Wounded, Sergeant Ames, of the Lowell City Guard, slightly; Private Coilum, of the same place, shot in the head, not fatal ; Private Michael Green, of Lawrence, slightly; S. H. Needham, skull fractured ; another, name unknown at the infirmary, badly wound( d. Ames and Coilum to-night were taken to a private house, where they will receive the best attentions. H. W. Danforth and Edward Cooper were shot in the thigh. Two Massachusetts men dead, as before reported, their names not ascertained. Citizens killed :—John M‘Ghan, Sebastian Gies, Patrick chuck, 131 Thane Niles, Wm, c, >l4l9Aey, W, Roo, and Mr. Davis. Wounded—Eatriek Griffin fatally, others un known. The Philadelphians, who were unequipped and unarmed, remained in the last car at the station. They were assaulted with stones and other missiles, and some were slightly wounded. The train *as taken back, but quite a number escaped to the city, and, having no uniform, were unrecog nised. The reported difficulty on the road between here and Washington is incorrect. It is understood that all the troops reached Washington safely, except the Philadel phians, who were taken back. At the meeting the mayor announced that the presidents of the railroads had pro raised they would bring no more troops this way. As far as ascer tained only two Massachusetts soldiers were killed. They belonged to Company C. Their bodies are now at the police station. At the same station are the following wounded : Sergeant Ames, of the Lowell City Guards, wounded on the head slightly ; private Coilum, of the same place, shot in the head, not seriously ; private Michael Green, of Lawrence, wounded on the head with stones ; H. W. Danforth, com pany C, 6th Regiment, slightly wounded. As far as known seven citizens were killed, includine , Mr. Davis (before men tioned), and James Clark. A half dozen or so are seriously wounded, but believed not fatally. Comparative quiet now prevails. The military are under arms. The police are out in full force. The mass meeting was very large. It was addressed by the mayor. The governor was present. BALTIMORE, April 19.—A town meeting was called at 4 o'clock p.m. It is said that twelve lives were lost, and several mortally wounded. Parties were roaming the streets armed with guns and pistols. Stores closed and business suspended. Everybody in a state of dread. A party of the mob rushed into the teleg,raph office and cut the wires with a hatchet, but they have since been repaired. The following are the latest despatches from Washington : WASHINGTON, April 19.—The Massachusetts arrived this evening, and are quartered at the capital. Several of them wounded in Baltimore were sent to the infirmary, while others who were injured in that city were on duty with their comrades. The President had issued a procla mation stating that an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas ; and the laws of the United States cannot be exe cuted effectually therein, conformably to that provision of the constitution which requires duties to be uniform throughout the United States; and thither, a combination of persons engaged in such insui rections have threatened to grant pretended letters of marque to authorise the bearers thereof to commit assaults. The mayor has issued a proclamation exhorting all good citizens to so conduct themselves as neither by word nor deed to give occasion for any breach of the peace. The President has seized four Potomac steamers, on suspicion of being in the service of C. S. A. Charles Clarke has been appointed marshal of Maine. Lieutenant Jones reports that as the federal troops left the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, the seces sionists rushed in, and believes that many were killed ; re peated explosions were heard. Two regulars were killed, and two deserted. Major Simonton, in command of the Pittsburg Arsenal, is suspected, and is watched by a com mittee of safety. _ _ Governor hicks declines to allow any more armed men to pass through Baltimore. Three thousand troops have reached Washington. The Baltimore riot commenced by some labourers en gaged in repairing Pruth-street. They hurled the loose paving-stones at the cars. A despdtch from New York on the 19th contains the following : An attempt has been made to purchase the new steamer Mercedita for the Confederate States, but the reply was that there was not money enough in the seceded states to buy her. The Rhode Island Marine Artillery arrived to - day, with six pieces of artillery, and star ted for Washington. A thousand Rhode Islanders under Governor Sprague will be here to. morrow. Governor Morgan has issued a requi sition for the Gth, 12th, and 71st Regiments of this city, who will start for Washington to-morrow. The gunboat Pocahontas has been ordered to sea immediately. It is reported she will sail to-night with troops for Fort Monroe. The 7th Regiment left this city for Washington by railroad this afternoon. The entire first division, 7,000 men, has offered its services to the Governor, and are ready to march at an hour's notice. There is intense excitement among our military, caused by the news from Balti more. The Chamber of Commerce resolved to-day that the Government should issue a proclamation that all persons privateering under the Jefferson Davis com mission be dealt with as pirates, and to imme diately blockade every southern port. Over 22,000 dols. were subscribed in aid of the volunteers. They appointed commissioners to take up Government stock. The members of the Corn Exchange resolved to close their places of business to-morrow, and attend the Union meeting. Dele gates from sixteen life insurance companies met to-day, and recommended to the several boards of directors to assume the risk of the assured entering upon naval or military ser vice. The Evening Post learns from a reliable source that Jeff. Davis, at the head of the Confederate army, is within twenty-four hours' march of Washington. Major Anderson was overwhelmed with congratul a ti ons t o -d ay. The excite ment at the recruiting stations is unprecedented. The. Ist New York Regiment has completed 1,000 men, and the muster roll sent to Albany. Orders are expected to-morrow to muster them into the United States service. A despatch from Wilmington, Del., to the Tribune says that a merchant captain, from Pensacola, gives information that Fort Pickens now contains 800 men, and seven vessels lying out side. A large number of southern troops arrived on Satur day. There are still many Union men in Florida. A bloody negro insurrection is apprehended in the cotton states. A gentleman who passed through Tennessee on Wednesday says the America flag was flying everywhere. In Virginia loud threats to lynch Union men are heard everywhere. Private despatches from Baltimore state that the position of the loyal citizens was very critical. A despatch says : "We hope the North will stand by us, and in their forced passage through our city to the Capitol remember that there are many true raen here. Our police and many of our military companies openly defy the Go vernment," The excited state of the country may be gathered by the despatches from various quarters : NORTHERN STATES. 0c*.8.,,,,-RG, N.V., Arm - r,lO was held here las tmiiht, Democrats and Republicans partici pating alike.

SAco, ME., April 19.—The people in both Saco and Bid deford have had flag raisings to-day, and the booming of cannon and unbounded enthusiasm. In the evening an im mense crowd gathered about the office of the Biddeford Heroic?, and demanded that a disunion flag which was flying from the building in the morning should be taken down. It was given up and torn into shreds. The office was then compelled to display the stars and stripes.

A VOLUNTEER SUMMONED FOR NOT PAYING HIS SUBSCRIPTION.—At the Manchester Police-court yes terday, Thomas Hollingsworth, a member of the sth Cora • pany of the Third Regiment of Manchester Volunteers, was summoned for the non-payment of his subscription of one guinea. The defendant admitted the debt, and offered to pay the money in Court, but he declined to pay the costs. The Clerk said in that case the evidence must be proceeded with. The defendant then raised an objec tion to the legality of tho summons, stating that it purported to be taken out by Adjutant Heaton, whereas the Adju tant knew nothing about it.—Sergeant Hunt, who had obtained the summons, explained that the Adjutant's name had been ins er t e d at the instance o f t h e magis • tratea' clerk, who sa id i t was necessary for i t to appear, but the proceedin gs h ad in reality been or d ere d b y th e officers of the defendant's Company.—Adjutant Heaton was called into the witness box, and in answer to the Magistrate, said th a t each Company ha d it s own dis tinct financial arrangements, with which the Adjutant of the regiment of course had nothing to do.—Mr. Ellison said that as this summons wa s stated to have been tak en out by the Adjutant, when i n reality it was no t so , the case must be d'smissed. Th e officers of the com p a ny might take out another summ ons, if they chose i n their own names. The defendant, h owever, paid the gu i n ea in Court and the cost of the informal summons was returned by the magistrates' clerk. INTERNATIONAL EXIIIBITION OF 1862.—Yester - day the guarantee fund w as reported to her M a j es ty's com missioners as having am ounted to 2393,500. A communi cation was yesterday rec e i ve d b y the commiss i oners th r ough the Belgian Minister, st a ti ng that the Belgian G overnm ent had appointed the commissioners who were to superintend the different branches of industry in that country. The forthcoming Exhibition is now being taken up with great interest throughout the United Kingdom, the number of applications for space rece i ved at the office of the commis sioners in the Strand averaging from 500 to 600 a day. Detailed and distressing intelligence had been received at the Cape of the misfortunes of the Makololo missionaries. The Rev. MI • Price and the Rev. Mr. Maenzie had returned in safety. The Rev. Mr. Helmore, Mrs. Helmore, two of th e i r children, M r . Price's child, Mrs. Price, and several n a ti ve members o f the expedition perished in quick succession, there is now too great reason to fear,,not from the fever of the Zambesi, but from the insidious poison of the Makoloto chief. Their treatment otherwise was also altogeth er b ar b ar ous. some anxiety was felt about Dr. Livingstone, and the return of the Lyra to the Cape was lookO4 forward t 2 lAtigot! SOUTIIEttN STATES. MONTGOMERY, ALA., April 19.---The subscriptions for the loan exceed 15 millions, and the books are closed. Smaller sums have preference over larger.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 19.—A reliable private despatch from Nashville states that Tennessee is almost a unit. A full regiment will be organised by to-morrow night. There , aro no Union companies in Nashville. MEMPHIS TEN N,, April 19 . — The war spirit is intense. The Governor of Arkansas has not received Secretary Cameron's requisition. Nnw ORLEANS, April 19.—The Magnolia from Key West, 12th, has arrived. The Crusader was the only war vessel there. There are 150 troops in Fort Taylor, and 300 in the barracks. The Magnolia was advised at Apalachicola not to enter Pensacola harbour, as she would be taken by the military authorities. The Texas authorities have fitted out the steamer Mata gorda as a war vessel, to intercept the Star of the West. The following is the President's proclamation of the blockade of the Southern Ports : An insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and the laws of the United States cannot be executed effectually therein conformably to that provision of the con stitution which requires duties to be uniform throughout the United States; and, further, a comlination of persons engaged in such insurrection have threatened to grant pro tended letters of marque, to authorise the bearers thereof to commit assaults on the lives, vessels and property of good citizens of the country, lawfully en gaged in commerce on the high seas and in the waters of the United States. And whereas an executive proclamation has already been issued requiring the persons engaged in these disorderly proceed ings to desist, and therefore calling out the militia force for the purpose of repressing the same, and convening Congress in extraordinary session to deliberate and determine thereon, the President, with a view to the same pur poses before mentioned, and to the protection of the public peace and the lives and property of its orderly citizens pursuing their lawful occupations, until Congress shall have assembled and deliberated on said unlawful proceedings, or until the same shall have ceased, has further deemed it advisable to set on foot a blockade of the ports within the States aforesaid, in pursuance of the laws of the United States and the laws of nations in such cases provided. For this purpose a competent force will be posted so as to prevent the entrance and exit of vessels from the ports aforesaid. If, therefore, with a view to violate such blockade any vessel shall attempt to leave any of the said ports, she will be duly warned by the commander of one of said blockading vessels, who will endorse on her re gister the fact and date of such warning, and if the same vessel shall again attempt to enter or leave a blockaded port, she will be captured and sent to the nearest convenient post for such proceedings against her and her cargo as may be deemed advisable. An article in the Boston Journal shows the spirit that had been aroused by the attack on the Masg.- ehusetts regiment : It is most singular that now, as in the war of the Revo lution, and on the 19th of April, the first blood shed by the enemies of our country flows from the veins of the sons of Massachusetts. Now, as then, Providence has decreed that Massachusetts shall bring the first victims to the altar of constitutional liberty. We bow to the dispensation, and pray that now, as then, the blood of the martyrs may be permitted to seal the triumph and glory of the cause. It is true, this first blow upon us has been struck by a mob—but fittingly so, for it was done in the interest of a stupendous mob cause. Defiance of the laws is the soul of the whole movement, and the frenzied rabble at Baltimore represent it just as accurately as the malignant cabal at Montgomery. It is all a piece of satanic work, and it must be annihilated, root and branch, from the soil of America. We have no disposition to waste words on this deed. No more did our citizens yesterday, when the painful rumours flew like wildfire through our crowded streets ; but the flashing eye and the firm-set lips told sufficiently of the new-born wrath. There is " thunder in the air," and woe to those on whom the bolt falls. As we write it is uncer tain how far Maryland will be thrown into the secession maelstrom by this iniquitous deed, and we will frame no anticip - itions either way. This outrage is charged over, for the present, 0 the general conspiracy, and can be avenged as well in one place as in another. Avenged it most cer tainly will be. The blood of our sons, shed for the whole country, cries to heaven, and not in vain. Men of Massa chusetts, remember the 19th of April ! The Federal Lieutenant Jones had reported, re specting the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, that on hearing of the approach of 600 Virginians he put piles of powder and straw in all the buildings, and quietly waited their approach. The picket guard gave the alarm, and the garrison set fire to the out houses, carpenters' shop, and powder-houses, and began a retreat ; 15,000 stand of arms were de stroyed. Citizens of Harper's Ferry, evidently in league with the party advancing to seize the arsenal, were instantly in arms and pursued, and, firing upon them, killed two of the regulars. Two others deserted before the troops reached Hagers town. They marched all night, having missed the railroad train. At Hagerstown they took omni buses to Chambersburg, where they arrived much exhausted with their night march. The New York regiments of militia were mustering in considerable force. Some of them bad left for Washington. Major Anderson had been received at New York with great demonstrations of regard. The most intense excitement prevailed in that city. and journals suspected of secessionist principles were daily threatened with violence. At all the Northern ports vessels chartered for Southern har bours had been prohibited from taking provisions or stores. The gunboats Pochantas and Philadelphia had been despatched to Norfolk, Virginia. Re specting the Virginia naval yards we have the fol lowing reports : Washington, April 18. The Secretary of the Navy despatched Commodore Paulding some days since to the Gosport Navy-yard, to in spect the movements in and about the yard. The Commo dore returned here this evening, direct from the scene of oper ttions. He reports to the Secretary of the Navy that the vessels reported sunk across the channel at the mouth of Elizabeth River are only three light boats; that it was done yesterday, and that they will not obstruct the passage of vessels • that the Merrimac is not out s ide o f th e sup posed obstruction, but inside, but will remove the vessels as easily as she would remove a web. One or two war vessels are moored a short distance from the dock at the Navy-yard, and their guns m ill protect the yard. The mouth of the river is also carefully guarded. Cap tain Thornton Jenkins, who accompanied Commodore Paulding to Gosport, also arrived hero this evening, direct from Norfolk. Five sloops are in harbour at Norfolk, with men and arms sufficient to protect and hold the Norfolk Navy-yard. The authorities had given notice to the com mander in charge of the yard that they intended to take it. Captain Jenkins does not believe that it is in the power of the Virginians to capture it. Should they attempt it, the vessels would blow them to atoms. The commander, as also those in ch arge o f th e vesse l s, un d ers t oo d the matter fully, and are ready for any emergency. Large bodies of troops were forwarded as rapidly as possible to Washington in order to defend the capital in case of attack. The Executive Council of North Carolina was dis cussing the propriety of convening the Legislature, to discuss the state of affairs. It was expected to meet in 10 days. The Governor (Jackson) of Mis souri had responded to the call for a contingent to the Northern forces as follows : Executive Department, Missouri, Jefferson City, April 17. Sir,—Your despatch of the 15th inst., making a call on Missouri for four regiments of men, for immediate service, has been received. There can be, I apprehend, no doubt Lub eieeee men are iniv...a,a lvrar army, to make war upon the people of the seceded States. Your requisition, in my judgment, is illegal, unconstitu tional, and revolutionary in its objects, inhuman and dia bolical, and cannot bo complied with. Not one man will the State of Missouri furnish to carry on such an unholy crusade. C. F. JACKSON, Governor of Missouri. President Davis issued the following proclamation on the 17th : Whereas Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, has by proclamation announced the intention of in vading the Confederacy with an armed force, for the pur pose of capturing its fortresses, and thereby subverting its independence and subjecting the free people thereof to the dominion of a foreign Power; and whereas it has thus be come the duty of this Government to repel the threatened invasion and defend the rights and liberties of the people by all the means which the laws of nations and usages of civilised warfare place at its disposal ; Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, do issue this, my proclama tion, inviting all those who may desire, by service in pri vate armed vessels on the high seas, to aid this Govern ment in resisting so wanton and wicked an aggression, to make application for commissions or letters of marque and rei risal, to be issued under the seal of these Confederate States; and I do further notify all persons applying for letters of marque to make a statement in writing, giving the name and suitable description of the character, tonnage, and force of the vessel, name of the place of residence of each owner concerned therein, and the in tended number of crews, and to sign each statement and deliver the same to the Secretary of State or collector of the port of entry of these Confederate States, to be by him transmitted to the Secretary of State; and I do further notify all applicants aforesaid, before any commission or letter of marque is issued to any vessel or the owner of the owners thereof, and the commander for the time being, they' will be required to give bond to the Confederate States, with at least two responsible sureties not interested in such vessel, in the penal sum of 5,000 dole., or if such vessel be provided with more than 150 men, then in the penal sum of 10,000 dollars, with the conditions that the owners, officers, and crew who shall be employed on board such commissioned vessel shall observe the laws of these Con federate States, and the instructions given them for the regulation of their conduct, and shall satisfy all damages done contrary to the tenour thereof by such vessel, during her commission, and deliver up the same when revoked by the President of the Confederate States. And I do further specially enjoin on all persons holding aces, civil and military, under the authority of the Confederate States, that they bo vigilant and zealous in the discharge of the duties incident thereto ,• and 1 do moreover exhort the good people of these Confederated States, as they love their country, as they prize the blessings of free government, as they feel the wrongs of the past, and those now threatened in an aggravated form by those whose enmity is more im placable because unprovoked, to exert themselves in pre serving order, in promoting concord, in maintaining the authority and efficacy of the laws, and in supporting, invi gorating all the measures which may be adopted for a tuna mon defence, and by which, under the blessing of Divine Providence, we may hope for a speedy, just,• and honour able peace. " In witness thereof I have set my hand, and have caused the seal of the Confederate States of America to be attached, this 17th day of April, in the year of our Lord 1861. " JEFFERSON DAVIS. "Robert Toombs, Secretary of State." Major Anderson's official report of the surrender of Fort Sumter was as follows : " Steamship Baltic, off Saedy Hook, April 18. " HON. S.

" Sir,—Having defended Fort Sumter for 34 hours, until the quarters were entirely burnt, the main gates d es t roye d by fire, the gorge wa ll seriously injured, the magazine sur rounded by flames, and its door closed from the effects of the heat, four barrels and three cartridges of powder only being available, and no provisions but pork remaining, I accepted terms of evacuation offered by General Beauregard, being the same offered by him on the 11th inst., prior to the commencement of hostilities, and marched out of the fort on Sunday afternoon, the 14ih inst., with colours flying and drums beating, bringing away company and private property and saluting my flag with 50 guns. " ROBERT ANDERSON, Major, Ist Artillery," A meeting was held yesterday afternoon of the Greek firms in London interested in the policy of the Bank of France with regard to the houses which have lately sus pended at Marseilles. A report was submitted of the re• sults of the recent deputation to Paris, but no decision was made public, and it is believed that the whole question stands over for a definitive solution to-day, and that the chances for and against a satisfactory conclusion are nearly balanced. DESTUCTIVE FlRE.—Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, a destructive fire broke out on the premises known as Wilson's timber-yard and carved wood yorks, situat9 partly in Greek-street, and partly in Rose-street, Soho. The fire burned with great intensity for upwards of an hour, completely gutting the dwelling-house and work shops, and destroying a large portion of the stock of timber in the yard. By 10 o'clock the fire was nearly subdued, but it was midnight before the surrounding premises ware con sidered safe. Being situated .in the centre of a densely populated locality, the crowd collected within ten minutes of the fire breaking out was immense, and the police/bad cons iderable difficulty in clea r i n g sufficient space for the engines to get to work. The parties are insured, but whether to the full amount of their loss could not in die confasioll be ascertained, art d walla Acad A] Reti leading toting is at den p drawin lightei •ffecte former tabood paintin archite Turn deed ti private not to t drawi n our attl upon tl lery, w( a glan this ye art-crit E 0 mode n ecessal many o of then default( There that is i nothing from 11 Elect)— Maclise Millais That, Phillip gallery, (66) if scene, t teer cal Paul an Exhibit in its w to raise Facd's p a Very f the old( househo bed dyil of the vl depicted the div( the en ur and " b( of the t 'who is E been ju: heaven " The Popular two ear, every se sea•pain Mr. R uE living al mind t most pE (317) of ie cert as a glii toddle, hand sea -weed It, 's am ( happiest (622) pi c Laudsee l Exhibiti master-h Shrew ,gentled straw— ( there is more th, regarded 'Ward's hail du ] th 9 s ee , 118 (Ag e inc ident and v i„ h work, a s the pain upholste ited in introduce A,e eann haat thoi Roberts one of th oue inter day, whe ballads There a t Stanfi e l d one set Ca green we way, o f t has tw o , bead, a ‘: e '''. ll e, re ,„ 4- lerocrto r and res the ga F lier I ar M pr
