The time may not be far distant when the feelings and wishes of the various constituencies may be more fully-and fairly represented in Par liament than at - present. A general election is "looming in , the future," and wa believe that when the inspiring cry of "England for the English, and not for the Germans," has been proclaimed from the hustings—when candi dates must speak out boldly and intelligibly, in order to have the slightest chance of election— the results will be such as to convince the uncon stitutional intermeddlers that they must sink back into their legitimate positions, and abstain from interference, highly prejudicial to the safety, honour, and welfare of our SOVEREIGN and her dominions, and very dangerous to themselves, and to those whom they fancy they can shield from the natural consequences of their own misconduct.

Nothing is more objectionable to the English People, nothing should be more so to the French ExrEaan than foreign interference in the internal affairs of an independent State. Had it been attempted in France Louis NAPOLEON might have held a situation very different indeed from that which he now occupies. If the present Congress be anything better than a conspiracy of crowned , heads against popular liberties, such armed intervention should be expressly and unequivocally prohibited, and every nation shOuld be allowed to arrange its domestic affairs and all relating to its internal government, with out the presence of foreign troops etziving to con trol- and smother the voice of public opinion. Now military occupation is the favourite specific of Austria, she fancies that it is the panctiect for every disease, and that as she was enabled to rivet the chains on the' gallant Magyars by the assistance of Cossack hordes, without which they would speedily have shaken off the detested yoke, she may is like manner crush liberty in every neighbouring state. • TIM EVENING, THE EVIL GENIUS.

Rejoic ings—can they be—for the bones of those struck down by pestilence at Scutari ? For the ashes of those dying in the trenches through privation? For the dust of the gallant veterans killed, in vain asfar as the glory of the West is concerned, among the hills and valleys, among the rivers and ravines of the inhospitable Chersonesus ?

And surely we have no such crowning vic tory to boast of—no great battle won, upon the morrow of which we could dictate, not "arrange," but dictate, terms of peace to• an enemy effectually vanquished. In this way, indeed, we cannot even now exult over the complete and final capture of Sebastopol— the huge Northern Forts being still resolutely retained in the possession of the stubborn and unyielding Muscovites I While as to the other scenes of conflict illustrating the prowess of the combatants during this last two years' struggle, wo cannot by any means boast of them as in any essential particular in . any way decisive. The Alma was glorious, no doubt, but it was so far from being a consummation that it was lite rally onlia commencement.

At any rate, nowhere throughout all this terrible conflict of two years in the Crimta, nowhere is there discoverable for France and England,-for Turkey and Sardinia, for Europe, for Christen dom—nowhere is there discoverable what has already been here mentioned as the only sure basis for the building up upon it, of anything at all pretending to the gran deur and solidity of a Permanent Pacifi cation. Matchless feats of arms there have been during this War both for France and fur England, and let us add too for Turkey—but not one decisive victory, not one victory that could be taken as the foundation for a lasting Peace.

T3I EVENING We have already seen that she regards Italy as completely her own, its nominal Princes as her mere satrap witnessed last year the course adopted in Tuscany, which completely ignored the claim of the so-called Grand Duke to any ves tige of independence. A similar movement to wards Parma now appears to be in contemplation. The question arises, and it is truly moment ous, is the attempt about to be made with the sanction and connivance of the'Congress, or of any and which of its members ?, or is it merely by Aus tria, in the hope of bullying the other members, and by a step so decided getting rid of the very distasteful topics that have been introduced by the Sardinian Plenipotentiary, with, as it is as serted, the full assent and unqualified approval of Louis NAPOLEON ? We should earnestly hope that the latter may be the correct solution of the all-important problem. A short time since we should not have had the slightest hesitation on the point, or imagined for a moment that the Monarch who owed his exalted position to the suffrages of his people would for a moment tolerate the inter ference of other Sovereigns with the most sacred and inalienable privileges of a free community, viz., that of selecting the form of Government suited to their wants and wishes, and best calcu lated to develops the national prosperity. Unfor tunately, hoWever, there have been too, many recent symptoms of undue weight being attached to dynastic considerations, and a desire to strengthen a throne founded on the popular will by the aid of despotic rulers. There are too fre quent allusions to "the Uaion so happily re-esta blished between Sovereigns," and far too few to the friendly and cordial feelings between the Peoples. We therefore'aniiously look forward to some de cided demonstration that may dispel the mystery, and enable us once more to place implicit reliance on the Imperial Ruler of the French. Should that demonstration be• in the right direction, as we fervently pray may be the case, he should abstain from any objectionable proceedings himself, and not strive to prop up any foreign power by the' air OrFreneh biyonets. He should be enabled to come into court with clean hands, and carefully remove the beam from his own eye before he endeavours to purify the vision of others. Italy cannot always be coerced —the quondam, Mistress of the World cannot for ever be kept in a state of thraldom. A libera tor may arise—the oppressed nationalities may put forth their mighty, although dormant, strength, and woe to those who endeavour to resist the torrent, and render the contest one of the most formidable that has ever occurred—a War to the knife between the conflicting principles of liberty and of despotism, of civilisation and of blind and degrading barbarism.

There was hardly one of the resolutions which was not the subject of deservedly hostile criticism, but the grand points 'of attack were the compul sory rating and attendance, and the religious teaching. What evidently stung his Lordship more than anything else was the evident leaning of Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Mr. GLADSTONE to voluntaryism. He taunted Sir JAMES as he :lid Lord STANLEY in the Church-Rate debate, with the logical bearing - of their argue ments, if carried out, against all religious State Establishments. • His Latter-Day Saint ship seems specially concerned to upheld what bishops and statesmen now begin somewhat to tremble for. Church Rates and the Crown, he thinks, must stand or fall together ; yet even Tory speakers repeated-the - argument which was employed frequently in the debate—that an edu cation rate, with religious teaching in the schools, would increase the intolerable contests by which Church Rates are so injuriously distinguished, and with even greater bitterness, this rate being a new infliction. Sir JAMES and Mr. GLADSTONE both avowed their concurrence with Mr. MILNEE GIBSON in his position—that " a compulsory rate and secular education must go together." They both also strongly asserted their opinion that such a rate would be the "death-warrant of voluntary education." LATEST NEWS. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received the following telegraphic message from Trieste : A somewhat careful attention to this long de bate inclines us decidedly to agree with the two statesmen we have just referred to. We have had occasions enough of difference with them, but in this debate they appear' to have been inspired TRIESTE, MONDAY. The steamer Australia arrived this morning from Alexandria in 114 hours. afresh by the spiri t of Free Trad e. They reasoned not as special pleaders, in which character they have appeared so much of late, but with the freshness of cleared up doubts and decided conviction. 01 late both have been in opposition to the better instincts of the country, but now they were the advocates of that personal freedom, and those sell governing arrangements which are so dear and so natural to Englishmen. Lord JOHN was spread ing a continental—a German net for the nation, they were tearing it to pieces before the eyes of those whom it was designed ultimately to enfold. The evidence adduced to prove that the nation was advancing rapidly to as, high a state of edu cation as that of any country was quite conclu sive. It is needless to weary our readers with statistics, but partisans cnly, .we think, can now refuse to acknowledge that voluntary education is doing its work with such extraordinary rapidity, that it were madness in 'a Statesman to hazard in terference with it. What the Council of Kluca tion are now doing is the utmost limit to which Government aid can be carried without endanger ing spontaneous exertions. Indee3, authentic evi dence is adduced of its having already induced wealthy subscribers to lessen their subscriptions. Sir JOHN PAHINGTON asserted that the " ques tion to be decided was whether England should be educated or not." We beg to differ entirely from the worthy member—it was not " whether" but " how." All agree in the desirableness of universal education ; but the majority, we be lieve, of thinking persons, are becoming aware, that education can no more be healthily forced than trade and commerce. An artificial .unifor mity of school attendance and lesson-learning might be attained by taking lesson from Prussia or Austria, but. an Englishman who cannot read a word is generally a nobler fellow than the duly trained German.

Contrast the English peasant and the German bauer during the Russian. War, and who does sot feel proud of even the illiterate part of his countrymen. • One fundamental objection to Lord Jollies whole scheme.is that it must end in universal compulsion of parents to educate their children, and that Englishmen vrillnot be compelled by Lord Yonx,' or by any . of th s ir Lordships. It prop oses at once to enforce on agricultural employers, of labour, as on manufacturers, the education of their children. One is, of course, as equitable as the other ; but Lord SHAFTESBURY worked his philan thropy through the hatred 'of landlords to manu facturers, and the latter were thus made to edu cate their children. There certainly ought,. on the same grounds, to be inspectors entering farm houses, and country gentlemen's seats and model farms, examining all the children employed in connection with agriculture ; but, as Mr. GLAD STONE observes, one qualification fur such , inspectors ought certainly to be "robustness," and even then the vicinity of th• pump and the horsepond would have to be carefully avoided. To all compulsory pro jects, except as applied to some devoted class, one answer is sufficient--" We were born in England, not in Saxe-Coburg-Gotha." There are coinci dences, certainly, which have no casual conneo tion, but it is a singular fact that from the time the Whig Ministry introduced his Royal Highness to her MAJESTY, Lord J. RUSSELL has declined more and more from the liberal measures of his earlier days. Whether it was that he took fright at, his own Reform Bill, or that he had reached the Conservative age, or that the Bishops seduced him, or that German Courts impregnated_ his policy with their own, it is Hot easy to say. Per haps all 'these catnes co-operated. Certain it is that the Lord J. RUSSELL of the Test and Cor poration Acts is now pohind *ir J. GRAHAM, Mr. GLADSTONE, Lord STANLEY, and frequently be hind more extreme Conservatives. His Royal-High cgs PehTWAillert Will, it is said, pay a short visit to Paris in the course of the summer. The object of the Prince Consort's visit will be to represent her Majesty at the baptism of the Imperial infant son' of the Emperor and Empress of France. The Canard steamer Persia was announced yesterday with 117,000/. from New York, and is stated to have performed the passage in 9 days, 12 hours, and 7 minutes, being six hours less than the fastest ever made.

The St. Petersburg journals of the sth inst. publish the following official notification of the Minister of Finance :—" The treaty signed at Paris on the 18th (30th) of March re-establishes between Russia on the one hand, and France, Great Britain, Sardinia, and Turkey on the other, the relations of peace which had been interrupted by war. Our commercial relations with the said Powers who were at war with us being, consequent upon this event, equally re-established on the ancient footing, their ships of commerce will, henceforth, again be freely admitted into our ports in like manner as vessels under the Russian commercial flag will, as heretofore, be freely admitted into the parts of the said Powers. The Minister of Finance ntakes the we officially known to commerce." The official journal adds :—" On the. 23d of March (4th of April), the Emperor deigned to authorise from that day the free exportatinn fiom the Empire to foreign countries of every species of grain, according to the roguatious previously esta blished," FINLAND. A correspondence in the Pays states that the Czar lately declared publicly to the president of the &mate of Fielsingfors that it was his intention shortly to convoke the General Assemby of Fin land. In the treaty signed at Frederikshani in 1809, by which Finland wai definitively annexed to Russia, <it was declared that this province should continue to enjoy its old constitution, and that a general assembly should be held, as of right every five years, for the purpose of consi dering such: questions of general interest as it might be 1 for the benefit of the country to bring under the notice of the Emperor. Notwith standing the positive stipulations of this conven tion, the national assembly has never been con voked but once, and that was so long ago as 1811. The Finnish provinces have been in many respects better treated other - parts of the Russian empire, but the Czars have hitherto steadily refused to convoke the national assembly. 'ME BALTIC. HAMBURG, April 12.—We learn from Kiel that the Imperieuse, Euryalus, and Pylades, screw frigates, with the Harrier corvette, and two other small vessels, have left this port on,their return to England. The Stockholm Aftonbladet of the 6th mentions that from letters 'receive d from the frontiers of Finland the, Finnish peasantry were suffering much from the great pressure felt in consequence of the vast number of troops quartered upon them. SPAIN. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated April 12, announces that General. Zabala, Minis ter for' ,Foreign Affairs, had arrived at Valencia at half-past one o'clock en the same day. Public tranquillity had not again been‘disturbed, and it was thought that General Zabala would have to inflict exeMplary punishment in some cases in order to prevent a repetition of the disorders. The disturbance was more serious than has been stated, and the hesitating manner in which General Villa longa is said to have repressed it at the com meneement.kave encouragement to the insurgents. It is believed that "Carlist agency has had some thing to do , with the outbreak, and not Carlist agency alone. I have not heard of disturbance in any other town. By news from Malta, of the 9th, we learn there had been great disturbances at Doniah. The Christians had chili:lied the Sultan's protection. General Williams is to be entrusted with the anti* and regulation of the-Asiatic frontier. France has proposed a treaty of commerce with Siam. The'Herpditary.

She experience a succession of heavy gales, but met with no vessels requiring assistance. . The ship Caravan arrived at New York from Liverpool, brought 456 passengers, all bound to locate among the Mormons. There was one wed ding, three births, and two deaths during the voyage. PrOm California we have advices per Illinois to. the sth ult., and 1,261,2'72 doll. in specie. The in telligence is unimportant. The Indians were Con' : tinning their depredations in the northern section of the State. The trial of A. A. Cohen—Adams and Co.'s receiver—was going on in San Francisco, and some missing account books, which the prosecution required, had been fished up from the bottom of the bay. The gold deposits in the San Francisco Mint during the months of January and February were 234,556 ounces, and the coinage during the same time amounted to $2,405,654, which is an increase over the coinage during the corresponding period in 1855 of $839,025. Rumours of a new filibustering expedition, to be directed against the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, were aflcat in San Francisco. An active businesS has been done in staple articles, but money : f continues tight, which caused some considerable running about among the merchants on steamer da). In the Oregon and Washington territories the Indians bad been comparatively quiet, but fears were entertained of fresh outbreaks. The people of Oregon had become very much excited aoainst General Wool for the course he had pursued, and the Legislature had adopted a memorial asking for his immediate removal. By war of Francisco we learn that the ship Ade line, of i3oston, from Valparaiso for San Blas, Mexico, sprung a leak, and put into Tres Marias Islands in distress, on the 20th December. Having lost a boat in the surf, she was boarded by a Mexi can war schooner, and her commander, Captain Wood, made prisoner. The vessel, with her crew, were subsequently brought into San Blas, where they lay until- January 20; and was in the mean time rqbbed of her cargo. The British frigate PresiCletiOt is stated, looked on, but did not in terfere. From Costa Rica we learn that the people ex pected General Walker would invade the territory and seize upon Punta Arenas, which he hoped to destroy. French, mill American aid are invoked against him by the Panama papers., By way of New Orleans we have news from Vera Cruz-to the 22d ult. The Government-forces had blockaded Peubla. Tamariz had proposed a surrender, but Comoufort would not accept the terms offered. An Acapulco correspondent, under date of March 10, states that General Comonfort had 11,500 men and 80 pieces of artillery with him when lie left for Puebla. The forces at Tamariz do not amount to more than 3,000 men. Uraga and his officers were to be sent to Acapulco for safe keeping. Ge neral Alvarez is living quietly at his rauche, a short distance from that place. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Right Hon. William Keogh has been sworn in before the Lord Chancellor as one of her Ma- jesty's Justices for. the Court of Common Pleas. Air. Keogh is one of the youngest judges by some years who has ever sat on the judicial bench in Ireland. He was born in the year 1817. Mr._ Richard M'Kevin, solicitor, has been appointed his registrar. THE MYSTERIES OF ROOKWOOD-HOUSE. Under this head one of the Dublin papers fur . nishes the following sketch of some of the main incidents in the eventful life of the late Sarah Kelly. It may be mentioned here that all kinds of rumours have been current since yesterday re spectirig the testamentary disposition of the pro perty of the ill-fated woman.; but as some of the stories carried with them an air of almost startling improbability, there would be no use in making further reference to them, especially as the real facts must be known before the lapse of many days:— " Mrs. Sarah Kelly, a lady of great wealth, residing on • her estates in Galway, went out to walk in - her , grounds on Tuesday last, accompanied by her nephew ; two persons, respectably dressed as females, in black bonnets and veils, walked up to her, desired the nephew to move out of the way, and shot her dead through the head. The assassins then escaped. Such is all that the world knows of a murder, dark, hideous, and mysterious as any which the chambers of Stamboul, the qbays of Venice, • or the midnight streets of Paris could reveal. But, strange and mysterious as has been the death of this - lady, it is only when, viewed in connection with her past life that it is seen in its true light ; that death so awful, so unparalleled in its circumstance, closed a life of al most fabulous incident and change; it terminated a , career such as no novelist has ever dreamed of por traying. Sarah Kelly was born at Broadataire, a watering piece on the coast of Kent, where her father legot an inn. At this inn, about 50 years ago, a. young Irishman, named Meredyth, the heir of a hand-, some estate and a baronetcy, was sojourning. The • beauty of the innkeeper's daughter attracted the notice , of young Meredyth, and lie devoted himself but too successfully to the task of her conquest. Miss Birch • —for that was her name, fled with her admirer to the Lind of tie West,' where she in due time presented • him N ith a too convincing token of attachment. Love has been said to fly at sight of ' human ties ;' in • this case his light wings spread for want of them ; , Meredyth,. the betrayer, abandoned his victim and her infant, under circumstances of desertion so heartless, as 'to induce a Dublin jury subsequently to award a= sum of 3,0001. as damages in an action brought against , him for her seduction. The trial took place about 1817,, and elicited the forensic art and eloquence of some of the most distinguished advocates of the time. Over the next, succeeding chapters of Miss Birch's life we desire to pass ' with as little detail as possible ; she led the life of ad-' • venture and difficulty, of error and shame, into which, her previous misfortune and her beauty bad, we, might almost say, driven her. Mr. Edmund Kelly, gentleman, of Merrion-square, an elderly widower, a, land agent, solieitbr, rethionaaire, became acquainted; with her ; she gave up her city life, and became his Housekeeper ; subsequently, it appears, his wife, and mistress of Rook wood• house, county of Galway. Mt. Kelly had a daughter by his first wife, but she bad dis appeared. • He had, however, relations who expected to divide at his decease the enormous wealth, estimated at ' 300,0001 to 500,0001., of which he was the possessor. Mss B rch was not as yet known, or, at any rate, not recognised as Mr-. Kelly. See was, however, most assi i duou- in her attentions to the old man, who every day grew more weak, more eccentric, and, it is said, more , imbecile. Strange stories were told of his las; days; how the idea hau ei him that he should die of hunger ; now his watcotul mistress, wife, nurse, or gaoler—which ,oever she was—b a d hi s bedroom hung round witb eat ' ables of every description, stories of a deathbed marriage, of a deathted will ; but how much of all this was truth; ' and how much Lille, can never be satisfactorily ascer tained. Mr. Kelly died ; Miss Birch claimed the recog nition of her position as his widow, and produced a will • entitling her to all the prodeity, real and personal, of the late owner of Reek's° idshouse. His nearest rela tive, an elderly maiden lady named Thewles, denied the validity of the will ; her means were slight, but her claim was strong—at least so thought her friends, who advanced her the money sufficient to prosecute her Suit tit law. The action must be' fresh in the re collection of our realers, so we do not mei to give iis curious details. Miss Thewles had a ver fct in • her favour. Mrs. Kelly appealed from the Court of Delegates, but now offers of money flowed p'ebtifully upon Miss Thewles ; offers of matrimony came also ; she accepted one, that of her confidential soli citor. He aa' not a; successful for his wife as he had been for his client; the verdict in favour of Miss Thewles was totally set aside by the late Chancellor Blackburne in an able judgment upon Mr-. Kelly's application for a Court of Review. Mrs. Kelly no w set out to enjoy her wealth ; she resided in Merrion-square. One day a poor woman with two little children by the hand pulled the be.), and humbly asked the powdered and gold-laced footman to bear his mistress a note ; there was no an swer. She called again and often, and as often turned wearily and dejectedly away. It was the &tighter of the late Edmund Kelly, who was begging a morsel of all her father's wealth. What a history was hers! She had been brought up with the fondest parental care ; ass had been placed at a first-rate boarding-school in Clifton, in England, where no less than 3001. a-year was pail for her. When her father married secondly she was re moved to an inferior' school at Bath, and her allowance ,o-a.dually reduced. After many trials and vicissitudes, chiefly caused by fa ee information as to her father'e death, she was at length abandoned, with two children, by a profligate villain, who had married her under the pretence of being hsr father's agent. She contrived to eke out a livelihood for herself and children as a governess , . until she again married a Mr. Morton. She had heard of her father's death, and of his extraordinary will, and of Miss Thewles's action, and she came across to Ire land, to see if Mrs. Kelly would not help her ia some way. Mrs. Kelly bad a confidential solicitor, names Birch ; she called him her nephew ; others said he was 'a'eearer relative still. This Mr. George Birch told the applicant that his suet would do nothing for her, but that he would do something; lie made vile proposals to her—and worse. Her husband. Mr. Morton, brought an action for assault, and obtained damages 2001. and 6d. coats, ;igiticst Mr. Birch. " The wealth of Edmund Kelly seemed to rest never, as if it were fated to be the prolific source of strife and contention, a curse and not a blessing. Mrs. Kelly dove up in great haste one day to a police office in the city, and applied for a warrant against her nephew, George Birch, who had absconded with 200,000/. ! He was arrested on board the steamer, leaving B gland for the continent, but on being brought back not only stood his trial, but challenged a prosecution —none was pressed, we believe • matters were settled. Th e l as t appearanc e of Mrs Kelly in the law courts was as defendant, sued by the police sergeant who arrested Mr. Birch, for the reward of 5001. which, it viva§ alleged, she bad offered. Since then she has resided principally on her estates in Galway, where she has been thus barbarously assassi nated. The attempt to divert the public from the true scent, by the idea of the murder being of an agrarian nature, has been a signal failure. All, save a few per sons who could not he expected to forego on any positi hle occasion a war-howl against the Irish peasantry, re cognise in this mysterious murder a finale to this most extraordinary history, connected with and springing from circumstances in her career and position, far differ ent from what the assassins ints: del to suggest." THE TIPPERARY BANK. A notification from the It asterin Chancery inti mates that he will proceed on Monday, the 28th inst., to settle the list of contributories to the Tip perary Bank. After such lists shall' have been settled,'the Master fin ther_intimates that no pet son affected thereby will be allowed to dispute the same without the leave-of the-Court of Chancery. THE CONTEST FOR ATHLONE. At 11 o'clock to-day the Hon. Captain Handcock was 11 ahead of Mr. Ennis, and two hours later tho Derbyite maintained the first place, although his majority was lessened by one vote. At that hour the numbers stood thus :—Handcock 80 ; Ennis, 70. If the estimate be correct of the total available constituency being not more than 160, there would remain but 10 more votes to decide the contest—if, indeed, it be not already decided in favour of Captain Handcock, who, of course, will be mainly indebted for his return to the support of the 30 Roman Catholics who seceded from the Liberal camp. No later account has been received up to post hour. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The following persons of rank have recently visited this gallery to wit ness Miss P. Horton's popular entertainment.
