Some time s'nce, at a Trinity House Banquet, the nation was informed by a high authority that " representative institutions were on their trial !" la c....raroon with almost ev(,e . y , Journal we resented the imputation, feeling it, in the sense in which it was uttered, to be a gross and unwarrantable insult to the British Constitution, which could not be ameliorated on any German model. It is, however, with deep regret that we find ourselves obliged to repeat the assertion—to declare deliberately and advisedly that " repre sentative institutions are really on trial," and that, unless a complete alteration of the system now in operation he speedily inaugurated there is every prospect that they may be considered as utterly worthless. It is, however, in a totally different sense from that used by the PRINCE-CONSORT that we repeat his assertion. It is not because the chosen repro sentatives of the peOple interfere too much with the decisions of the Government for the time being, or because they require full information respecting questions of foreign policy, or pending negotia tions, that we have arrived at this painful con clusion. Far otherwise. It is because they have apparently abdicated the functions transmitted to them through a long succession of ages, and avoid discussion on matters of vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of the nation, until too late to do more than merely register the de crees of the Executive and sanction expenditure incurred without their consent or knowledge ; be cause by their extraordinary apathy and indif ference they recently suffered the nation " to drift into a war" which cost nearly one hundred mil lions of m oney, and, far worse, the lives of many thousands, aye, tens of thousands, of the best and b raves t of our fellow-citizens, and that there is every prospect that a still greater calamity may be again occasioned by similar negligence. The British nation has lat e l y received a deli berate insult. It has witnessed the representa tive, or rather four representatives, o f its Sovereign summarily and ignominiously expelled from another State, and on evidence which Would not before an impartial tribunal, either in England or America, be considered sufficient to warrant a verdict against a previously conv i c t e d pi c kpocket. Our Government has quietly pocketed the affront. That point has, for the time, been disposed of. Now that the electioneering ticket of the Demo cratio Conference has been filled up, that FRANKLIN PITIRCE - has failed in obtaining the stray votes Which he vainly imagined might be caught by his trneuleat insolence, it is scarcely probable that be will repeat the blow, or give an additional kick o those who have submitted to the previous outrage with such edifying humility. Surely, then, an investigation into that part of the Ame rican question cannot be considered premature, or likely to occasion mischief with our peppering relations. If either branch of the Legislature is to pronounce an opinion on the conduct of the executive the time has arrived for so doing, unless the matter is to be altogether handed over to posterity for its decision, founded on the opinions of some as yet unborn MACAULAY. Every ele ment for judgment is now before the country. We have the bill of indictment preferred by Mr. MARCY, the exculpatory pleas of the Earl , of CLARENDON. The witnesses have been mar shalled—their testimony is now to be weighed, and surely the British House of Commons should make its voice heard on the all-important issue Lef 're it is finally d'smissed from consideration. But it is even more desirable that the opinions of its leading members should be ascertained respeoting the Central America questions, as yet undecided. It is not only their privilege, but their imperative duty, to advise the Crown on all matters affecting its dignity or its interests. The Mosquito Protectorate, the Belize and Bay Islands difficulties, are still unsettled. Congress has given full expression to its views on the construction of the CLAYTON-BULWER Treaty. Why should the English Parliament alone remain gagged ? Why should not the hereditary and representative Legislators tender their respectful advice to their Sovereign iu such an emergency, when Pease or War with men of our own race, speaking the same language, pro fesiing the same religion, and maintaining the same liberal institutions as ourselves, is the enormous stake fore whicli — they are contending. Lord PALMERSTON, emboldened by the general apathy, refuses a day for the discussion. Surely the necessary means may be taken to enforce a speedy debate. If the soi disant independent (1) Members refuse their assistance they will induce the people to echo the cry of the PRINCE-CONSORT and seriously to ask, What is the use of a House of Commons which has so completely disregarded its most important duties ? It was a great triumph on\ Friday evening— that won by the Noble Lord the Member for Haddington ! It was a victory, let it not be for gotten, achieved at once over Court and Cabinet, over Government and Opposition. In its way, in truth, it is just the one redeeming incident of the Parliamentary session, the solitary occasion upon which the House of Commons has ventured to vindicate its character. It were idle, . how ever, to conclude at once that because of that re. markable division of the 27th of June, 1856, the matter at issue is definitively settled in any way, much less in a manner perfectly satisfactory. All the positive advantage gained by the majo rity in favour of Lord Emulo's motion is simply the postponement of the ultimate decision yet to be arrived at by the Legislature in regard to the "whereabouts" of the National Gallery ! The whole battle has even now to be fought all over again—a battle like that immortalised by the pencil of Hoa.a.nree—fln which, by the way, curiously enough, it may amuse Mr. Mona's MooRE to remember, there shines forth conspicu ously in one corner, a very notable limning of Arenzo flaying Maßserasfl—the Battle of the Pictures ! So fen- 7 as we remarked on Saturday —so good. Yes, so far, but no farther ! We have only as yet "put off" the day of reckoning. That day, sooner or later, this session or that, must come, and when it comes let us by all means be prepared for it. Remember—Prince ALBERT has set his heart upon removing the National Gallery from " the finest site in Europe," to just about "tbe worst and ugliest"—from Trafalgar square to Kensington-gore ! Remember—that in this monstrous and absurd design H.R.H. is aided and abetted, as we have observed already, by " the powers that be" and " the powers that hope to be," by three Chancellors of the Exche quer, by the leaders of Conservative-Liberalism, and the leaders of Liberal-Conservatism, by Statesmen who are " in" and by Statesman wh are "out," by Mr. DISRAELI and by Viscount PALMERSTON. It can only be, therefore, by the most strenuous endeavours, by the most vigilant attention, by the most resolute and un flinching perseverance that we can at all hope to triumph in the end over this new and eccentric coalition, over what we have already termed, for want of a better phrase, this new Germanic Con federation. We, for one, are fully and deliberately resolved to keep the subject in view until the matter shall have been settled, one way or the other, perma nently. What is actually proposed to ba done by those who have so very perversely taken the subject of the National Collection of PidLures in hand, and against whom we have, from the first, put our selves in absolute and diametric opposition, may be readily enough stated. They propose, these illustrious Dabblers in Art, beginning with H. R. H., and descending through the whole scale of them down to Mr. MILNES, the Poetaster, they propose to move the National Collection or Pictures from the building in Trafalgar-square to a new building erected upon some other site, if possible, to the absurd site, until very recently, sacred to cabbage-stumps, dibbling, and pigstyes, or (in the words of the old nursery song, so applied) to " rolly-poly, gammon, and spinach" —the suburban market gardens of Kensington gore ! Wherever the new structure is to be raised, they want, at any rate, to move the national pro perty in paintings from the edifice in Trafalgar square, and to give up that edifice not any longer partially, but entirely to the purposes of the Royal Academy. Now, against all this we have protested from the very outset, against this we still continue to protest energetically, against this we shall persist in proteiting down to the very end of the chapter, until the whole of the vexed question about the National Gallery has been settled for once and for all definitively. What we maintain in direct opposition to the views of his A.R.S. and hi 3 courtly abettors — both in and out of Parliament—the readers of The San know already very well : but knowing it already very well they will not object, we dare say, to its brief and very simple re:capitulation. Wherefore, let us say at once—we are opposed to the removal of the National Pictures to Kensing ton Gore—we are opposed to their removal any where—we are decidedly and peremptorily opposed to the sacrifice of the finest site a nowhere to be found in all London or Westminater for a Na tional Gallery for the especial advantage, and sole convenience, and particular gratification of the Royal Academy —that very large .Elumbug, that v ery snug Monopoly, that very close Corporation ! Ins tead of carrying out the suggestions of H.R.H. and his associates —we say—enlarge the present magnificent site in Trafalgar-square by sweeping away contiguous Barracks, back-slums, and Workhouses Send the Royal Acadh 3my "pack ing" th e ! elsewhere—no matte r w h ere, b lab at any rate no longer there ! Knock down the pres ent hideous pile disfi guring and inadequate .4g "the finest site in Europe !" Dig out upon that e:ttended site upon those broader and ampler foundations, foundations build up a perfectly n structure worthy of the designation of the Na,;-,lonal Gallery of England ! THAT is what we propo se, and th a t, or we are very much mistaken, is what will h ave to ,be ultimately accomplished (in vtery despite of the crotchets of H.R.H.) by those custodians of the public purse and of the public property—her MAJESTY'S Government. A heavy responsibility rests on t: Lis country in the government of her colonies. In the entire history of the world never did s ,tip a responsi bility rest on any other people. Wbe magnitud e , TriE_ 1.014D0N, MONDAY EVENING; JUNE eo, Igge; of our colonial empire is indeed of such propor tions that it has hitherto been with difficulty thy: public mind has been able to apprehend it. A more acute senae of moral obligation and the s'imulus of recent events, it is to be hoped, will not be without their effect in drawing the public attention to colonial matters, and then it will be acknowledged with mare than a cold assent that in the discharge of our duty, whether to vigorous and enterprising or weak and dependent popula tions, more is involved than selfish instinct has recognised, and that in promoting the welfare of our colonies we take not the least effective means to promote our own. The intelligence brought by the India mail (full particulars of which will be found elsewhere) in duces us once more to draw attention to the subject of railway communication, which, however well considered in the main by railway companies and publi3 officials, can only be said to be in its ear liest infancy. The territories under British sway are, as our readers know, of vast extent, of great natural resources, and exceedingly deficient in means of communication • of - any sort. Some of them are far from consolidated under our rule, and contiguous to them are warlike tribes against whose incursions and machinations it is necessary to be perpetually on the guard. The population generally, however, are well affected to our rule, patient, industrious, capable of high cultivation, and, though poor and depressed, not insensible to the benefits which a closer intercommunication with the parent state is likely to confer on them. Labour, too, is cheap, little sufficing for the sup ply of the simple wants of the labourer, and all; or nearly all, that can be required in the shape of materials for communication, if not immediately forthcoming is at hand, and can speedily be made available. A country like this, rich in valuable material resources, richer still in an immense popula tion disposed to be practicable and industrious, and needing only the means of consolidation and development, seems peculiarly entitled to be put in possession of them, and to offer one of the best possible fields for the employment of British capital and skill in the- construction of a network of railways. Whatever may be the pictureque ness of the elephant or the palanquin, the one is but a clumsy, and the other a not over-humane means of travel, available only to the few ; while so far as water communication is concerned, that is not only dangerous and expensive, but also so imperfect as to threaten no rivalry worth men tioning. The Railway is. confessedly the great material pioneer required for that grand Indian empire, over which not a few delight to dream, and on the due development of the Railway sys tem depend not only the welfare of native mil lions and the stability of our rule, but also the opening of a market for our produce, as , well as a field for our enterprise of unsurpassed extent. It would therefore be a cause of considerable regret if the recent determination of the Indian Government to stop public works involved, how ever, indirectly- the stoppage of the lines of rail way in course of construction or marked 'out for it. We believe it does not. In any case, we would most earnestly represent the impolicy of such a step, not only on Imperial grounds, but also be cause of its injustice to the shareholders of the respective railway companies involving, as it would, an increase of expenditure, without any corresponding return, to say nothing of any other description of loss. No doubt a good police, an honest judiciary, and a system of popular education, are desiderata of the last im portance ; but we can see no reason why the establishment of these should be placed in anta gonism to the construction of an efficient system of railways. They are not inherently antagonistic, and may without difficulty be coincident—the welfare of India demanding the speedy establish in.ent of all. Capital is to be had in abundance. No strain of an injurious nature need therefore be felt by the Indian Government on its annual re solrces ; and . the condition of India as coinpared with what it might be is such as strongly to appeal to its humane consideration. The reader, if at all acquainted with Indian ina.tters, has only to take up a railway map of India and ascertain precisely what has been achieved, and what remains to be se to share our belief. Great ends have un doubtedly been retarded by inconsiderate zeal in promoting them ; but it would argue groat timi dity, we think, in any one if, on a fair considera tion of the circumstances of the case, he arrived at the conclusion that railway enterprise in India, hitherto ren )caned for its discretion, needs a check of however limited a duration. Works of irrigation, harbours and public build ings may b) deferred without any positive disad vantage to the Empire, but nothing bat loss could accrue from the stoppage of lines of railway in course of construction, or indefinite delay with those about to be commenced. At the fastest rate of progress many years must elapse before the railway communication of India is complete. ARRIVAL 0`? THZ GRENADIER AND DRAG-'0 1111 GUARDS.

THE POISONING BY STICYCLINIA AT LEEDS. LEEDS, Saturday, June 28.—Arrangements have been made by Mr. Baron Bramwell for proceeding on Wednes• day, the 16th of July, with the trial of William Dove, a gentleman of independent fortune, residing at Leeds, for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Harriet Dove, a young woman between 27 and 28 years of age. The greatest excitement prevails in Leeds and atYurk (where the case will be tried), and judging from the present appearances the trial will rival that of William Palmer in intendty of interest. Mr. Dove, who Es in custody, charged with the.mnrder of his wife, lived in Cardigan-place, Burley, a hamlet near the borough of Leeds, and bore a good character. It appears that the briefs which are in course of preparation for the learned counsel for the prosecution, that Mrs. Dove was taken ill early in the month of December, and that. Mr. Morley, a surgeon of Leeds, who was called in to att and her, found that she was suffering from functional disorder of the stomach and of the nervous system, but that there was no organic or serious disease. Under his care Mrs. Dove improved, but in February she again became worse. On the 231 February, Mr. D ive gave his wife some jelly- and as soon as she tasted it she com plained that it waL ary bitter, saying, at the same time, " William, did yitinput anything in that jelly ?" To which he replied, " Yes, I put some of the medicine in." On the following moroing (Sunday) she was able to go to church, and on the next day (Monday) she breakfasted with Mr. Dove. Within halt an hour after wards she was seized with a very severe spasmodic at tack, and her body quivered as though it were under the influence of a galvanic shock. Toere was also that " twitching" appearance which was so minutely de scribed in the ca'e of Mr. John Parsons Cook in the course of Palmer's trial. On Friday, Feb. 29, while Mr. Dove was with his wife she was seized with a still more violent attack, her breathing was bad, the whole body became rigid, and was frequently observed t ) twitch involuntarily. When Mrs. Dave asked her hus band to give her her medicine he went to a wash stand, poured something into a wine glass, gave it to his wife, and then washed the glass out. After drinking it Mrs. Dove exclaimed, "Oh, dear, it is very disagreeable and hot; it is very bitter." In a few minutes'afterwards she was again seized with violent epasme, during which she shrieked out, her eyes became fixed, she clenched the hands of her ettendasets, and her whole body became perfectly rigid amid arched, resting upon the extremities, in which state she remained until her death, an hour or two afterwards. Mr. Morley, having ascertained that Mr. Dove obtained strychnine from his surgery on two separate occasions, gave expression to some suTicions in reference to the death of Mrs. Dove, and the result was a post mortem examination of the body was deter mined upon, and it was found by Messrs. Nunneley and Morley, who conductsd it, that thebody contained strych nine, and to that c.rcuinstance they attributed the death It is the opinion of the medical men that strychnine was administered to Mrs. Dive at least four tunes during the week of her death, and that several grains were given each time. Mr. Ellotson and an asst tint of Mr. Morley's will prove giving Mr Dove 10 grains of strychnine at his request, and it will also be proved that he asked Mr. Scarth, another assistant, to Mr. Morley, whether in the event of his wife dying there would be a caroner's inquest, or whether tine coroner would require an examination of any kind. Mr. Dove adrrets that he obtained the poison, but states that he purchased it for the purpose of destroying cats that infested his house. He seems to have space's so freely about strychnine in connection with his wife's illness and death, as to induce more than one person to inquire whether he had admi nistered that poison to her. No one seems able to come to any conclusion as to the motives which could prompt Mr. Dove to murder his wife. They lived on amicable, indeed on apparently affectionate terms. Mr. Dove's fortune was ample, and he was not known to be addicted to any vicious or very expensive habits. Mr. Overend, Q C., with Mr. Hardy, and Mr. A. H. Ba ay will con duct the prosecution, and Mr. Bliss, Q C., and Mr. Robert Hall will defend the prisoner. The trial is ex pected to last three or days. BuCKINGHAII PALACe, SATURDAY, June PRINCESS itorer..—The iionnity and gentry called in great numbers at the palace during the day to enter their names on the list of inquirers after the health of her royal highness. The Princess walked this morning in the garden of the palace. The Queen also promenaded in the garden. No written answer was given to-day to the numerous inquirers after the Princess Royal, owing to the improvement that has taken place in the state of the arm. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. The Ministers pre sent were Lord Palmerston, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Harrowby, Sir George Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Secretary Labouchere, Lord Panmure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Duke of Argyll, and the Right- Hon. M. T. Baines. The Council sat two hours and three-quylsers. The Under-Secretaryship of State for the Foreign offi f!, remains vacant. Mr. Layard, M.P., will be ap pointed. It is rumoured in Ministerial circles that Admiral the Right Hon. Sir Maurioe F. F. Berkeley, the senior nit. vat lord at the Admiralty. will retire from the office at the end of the session. ORCUESTRAL UNION.—The concluding concert of the season took place on Saturday morning at the Hanover square Rooms, which were completely filled with a fashionable audience. On Saturday last his Royal Hi7liness Prince Alfred, accompanied by Dr. Becker, again inspected the picture of "her Majesty's First Visit to the Crimean Soldiers," by Mr. B trrett, at the gallery, 162, Piccadilly ; and on the same occasion also inspected Fenton's Crimean pho tograpli s. Madame Goldschmidt Lind will give her last concert this evening, at Exeter Hail. When she says last, it is really meant to be so. The programme is of great at traction, and the arrangements, so admirably carried out, under Mr. Mitchell's punctual superintendence, are such as to insure general satisfaction. Mn. J. E. BLUNT.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. John Elijah Blunt, late a Master in Chancery. The melancholy event took place early on Saturday morning, after a long and painful illness, borne with great fortitude and resignation, at the deceased's resi dence, in Bolton-street. Mr. Blunt was in the 60th year of his age. We are informed that the statement relative to the suspension et public works in India is altogether erro neous. The Court of Directors, as we are informed by authority, have sent out instnoctions to prosecute these works on a large scale, and have apprepria•ed to that purpose, for the ensuing year, 1856.57, the sum of a orore and 85 lace of rupees, or nearly two millions of English money.

Au old and popular favourite, Mr. Buckatone possesses a threefold claim upon the London playgoers—as a Mana ger, as a Comedian, and as a Dramatist. " Three gen tlemen in one," like Cerberns or Captain Absolute—he advances these combined claims upon public regard and public patronage, not so much as one eminent but as one who is in truth a perfect master in each capacity, facile princeps in the triple character. A capital actor, an ad mirable playwright, and a most successful director of one of the theatres-royal of the metropolis, a theatre no less notable than the time-honoured house known, from the days of Foote downwards, as "the little theatre in the Haymarket." Mr. Buckstone, therefore, we take it, by reason of these threefold claims upon the popular consideration, as Manager, as Comedian, and as Dra matist, is safe to have "a bumper" on Wednesday even ing. For which occasion, by the way, he has provided a " bill of fare" promising his friends a wonderful variety of entertainment. Shakspere's comedy of "Twelfth Night" not acted for eight years past at the Haymarket) is to be revived, with Mr. Buckstone himself as Sir Andrew Aguecheek A new Spanish ballet, entitled "The Ceptives, or a Night in the Alhambra," will fol low (first time), in which the feet of Perea Nena will achieve miracles, aided by the scenery of Calcott and the music of Fitzwilliam-!• The- evening (going like clock work, or as " merrily as a marriage bell") to be "wound up" with a new petite comedic, " Mr. and Mrs. Hughes at Home," Mi.. Hughes being Mr. Buckstone, and Mrs. Hughes, Miss Blanche Fane, that charming young actress who has taken the hearts of all London by storm this season by her exqeisite impersonation of "The Little Treasure." Before the green curtain falls Mr. Buckstone is to address the audience on Wednesday night upon that the 815th consecutive night of this same very memorable season at the Haymarket ! Let us hope that circumstances may enable bias to tag his speech by the repetition of those words of his as Sir Andrew Ague cheek in the comedy—"l'll stay a mo-aa longer I lam a fellow o' the strangest mind in the world ; I delight in masques and revels sometimes altogether." Wednesday night, then—A Bumper for Buckstone ! As Sir Andrew says n an earlier part of the play—" 0, 'twill be ad mirable !"

A letter from Vienna of the 24th in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort says :—" The interna tional commission for regulating the frontiers of Bessarabia continues its labours at Galatz. Thirty Bulgarian colonies will be made to enter within the territory of the Principalities. The Russian Government is using its utmost endeavours to in duce these Bulgarians to quit their present esta blishments, and offers them laud between Eupa toria and the Alma, whilst it gives establishments in the interior of Russia to the Tartars who will not emigrate into Turkey. A French company has just established a line of steamers to run be. tween Odessa and Galatz, and vice versa. One of these boats, Le Lyonnais, left Galatz en the 4th for Odessa, with goods and passengers, and re turned on the 10th.

BERLIN, June 2 6.--Almost every budget of Rus sian news for a long time past has contained the announcement of thorough reforms having been in stituted into one branch or the other of the Admi nistration. The Government has ordered a revision of all the Imperial industrial establishments, and has entrusted the task to a man who is described as not only possessed of the reouisitr, 1 Jne,,maodge and Grranooo, Luc arso or the necessary integrity to perform it satisfactorily. The statement which is to be drawn up on the subjeetis to contain not only a thorough inventor y of the buildings, plants, sto2k, &c., but also of the costs of erection of the build ings, and of the production of goods, together with the amount of production. Au account of pro fit and loss is of course out of the question, since it is notorious that these establ.ishments are kept going only by dint of subsidies from the Government, and therefore the general conclusion is that this in vestigation is but the precursor of a scheme for turning over these establishments to private enter prise. In the opinion of well-informed Russian manufacturers the money these establishments have cost has not been th rown away by the State, they have formed a norm and, pattern for other establishments erected by private .persons, and they have constituted a nucleus for tilt) manufacturing energies of tht• nation, and now that, according to their view, Russian manufacturers. are firm enough on their legs to be allowed to go alone, these Imperial esta blishments wou ) .cl be better done away with.

In the Congress Mr. Brown (Democrat), of Mis sissippi, had submitted a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President to communicate a copy of the instructions to Mr. Buchanan on "free ships makingfreegoods," and Mr. Buchanan's letter to Lord Clarendon on the same subject. Mr. Adams (Democrat), Michigan, had made a speech in support of his bill proposing to extend the term of naturalisation to 21 years and exclude " foreign criminals and paupers from voting, in order to prevent these and European serfs from controlling elections, and thus perilling their liberties." Iu the House of Representatives the Speaker bad informed the house that the President had not re.- ceived any official communication from the leading Powers of Europe on the subject of privateering. The Anti-Fillmore American Convention at New York had chosen a Mr. Banks, j tan., Massachusetts, as their candidate for the Presidency, and Mr. W. F. Johnston, of Pennsylvania, for the Vice-Presi dency. During the proceedings the entire New Jersey delegation, with a few other persons, quitted the convention, on the ground that it was becoming too decided in its partiality to slavery extension. They started a separate convention, and nominated R. F. Stockton, of New Jersey, and Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina, as their candidate. We have intelligence of the loss of the ship Pal its, Capt. Spillane, from Cork for Quebec, with 120 passengers. She sighted the coast of Cape Breton on the morning of the 30th of May, and in the afternoon it was discovered that the compasses varied from one another, and the course of the vessel was then shaped between Cape North and St. Paul's. At 10 p.m. she struck on the breakers of St. Paul's and bilged, the sea washing over her. The passengers became panic-stricken, and rushed into the boats, which sank almost immediately. Seventy-two persons were drowned. In the morn ing the superintendent of the island sent off boats and rescued the remaining passengers. A vessel had left to convey them to Quebec. The New Yo'rk _Herald publishes the follow ing : _ _ I' There is a plan in agitation here among the Southern members of Congress to abandon the Central American route to the Pacific, and to acquire the cession of the Tehuantepec route from Mexico in exchange for guaran teeing her territory against the threatened Spanish hosti lities. It is understood that Col. Robles favours the project, Government being much concerned at the expe dition now fitting up in Spain. France and England have the same claims as Spain. Intelligence from Mexico indicates that much alarm is felt by the Govern. ment respecting the Spanish expedition, and foreshadows an application for the protection of the United States. Southern members of Congress suggest the granting of protection on the condition of a cession to us of the Tehuantepec r,titA, with the circumjacent territ ry." The N etv York Jouriial of Commerce states that the America, tile searching of which vessel by a British naval officer at Rio, on the supposition that she was equipped as a privateer, was opposed by the United States' Commodore, and which caused a good deal of indignation to be expressed before the conclusion of the war with Russia, was, on her arrival, reported in the •-'an Francisco Shipping List as Russian prop arty. On leaving Rio the United States' Commodore towed the America above 100 miles on her course, so as to protect her from seizure. A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Kansas city on the 12th inst., reports that comparative quiet reigned in the terri tory, the United States' troops having dis banded the unlawful military bodies, and in cases where they reassembled taken their arms from them ; con sequently there was no fighting going ou. The New York journals contain vivid ac counts of the atrocities committed by both parties. Tue latest ;advices from Nicaragua, via New Or leans, reprep;ents General Walker as in the same position. Nothing about fighting, but much sick ness among his troops. There was a rumour that a revolution haJ broken out in Costa Rica. A very disastrous mum iclation had occurred at Jacmel.

By the Ilitited States' mail steam-ship Washing ton, Captain. Cavendy, which arrived off Cowes this morning en route from New York to Bremen, we receive irrtelligence to the 14th inst. The Washington brings 192 passengers, about 90,000 dols. in specie, and the usual cargo. On the 19th inst., in lat. 42 10, long. 48 30, she ex changed signals with the ship Quebec, bound to Quebec ; 20th, in lat. 49 30, long. 16 53, spoke the American ship Sandbach, bound to the eastward ; also, in lat. 49 30, long. 11 47, spoke the Dutch bark Rode Rood, or Red Rose, 131 days from the Sandwich Islands : and in ln.f de gO, long. 10 13, exchanged signals with the American ship Sciola bound east. The mail steamers Arabia and Ericsson, from Liverpool, arrived at New York on the 13th inst. The New York papers generally are silent on the difficulties between England and America. The intelligence by the Arabia and Ericsson was anxi ously looked for. The _Herald describes the speech of Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords in the debate on American affairs, which grew out of the motion of Lord Elgin for the production of papers relative to the despatch of troops to the British North American provinces, as " interesting and highly significant," and says : " The general tone of the discussion evinces the most friendly feelings towards the United States. Julging, from the language u ed, no party in England is desirous of courting difficultiei with us, and l eas t o f a ll L ir d Clarendon. His lordship is, in fact, so anxious to settle the matters at issue that he expresses himself willing to meet Mr. Marcy on sonie island h a lf way b e t ween th e two countries fortheir adjustment. I'iiis is all very plea sant and very satisfactory so far as it goes ; but we find in the same speech certain other declarations which, coupled with the event which has since reached the knowledge of his lordship —the disniksal of Mr. Cramp• tan—gives an entirely diff er e n t wpect to the conclusions which at first sight we might be disposed to draw from it. Lord Clarendon's friendly tone and jocose propibsi tion of a new Tilsit arrangement between himself and Mr. Marcy were based, as will be seen, on the conviction that England had done everything that could be reason ably expected of her to satisfy the wounded pride of the United States. 'There is nothing,' be says, `which could be expected from one nation towards another, from one Government towards another, from one gentleman to wards another, that we have not done or offered to do, in order to afford reparation to the United States for any offence, however unintentional on our part. which they can conceive has been committed.' We apprehend that the plausible and ingenious letter of explanations t with which Mr. Marcy accompanied Mr. Crampton g dismissal will not alter any of the convictions here expressed. It must certainly be said of the atonement offered ny the British Cabinet that it went to the very verge of self-hu miliation, and although it fell short of the requirements of our Government, there are not a few among us who think that to demand more was both unr easona bl e an d ungenerous. Of the impression prevailing i n E ng l an d as to the ample character of this apology his lordship Pays : As far as I have been able to ascertain what are the Impressions which that despatch has produced in country I think the general opinion is that we have offered a complete satisfaction to the G o v ernmen t o f th e -Met ed States.' And, as if to define the course which the Cabinet would feel bound to pursue in theevent of the -e.oet*Ae*eeexeeaeeeeee.aeeaekeaea,' ..e.aeeate. oeesee - -tte•e4 , evtae-eaeraeate eepleeatiaee of?i,:red net befog deemed euilideett bg t i k al) American Government, which ;t is evident, frorn the tone of his speech, he did not believe possible, his lord ship aids :---'I think noty,dy mill require of us to uteri flee our agents and to purchase a, cenciliation with the United States by doing that which would be both shabby and dishonourable.' Aft- r such sentiments we caa con ceive the effect which the i,e,s of Mr. Crampton's die missal must have had, not only upon the Ministry but the people of Englan It must have fallen like a than detbolt upon the public mind, which had evidently con cluded that the question was definitely settled b y Lord Clarendon's letter- of explanation.s. It is impossible to read th© sentences above quoted without arriving at the conviction that we are entering upon a stage of these dif. ficulties from which it will require the greatest caution and forbearance to extricate ourselves. By this time it is not unlikely that Mr. Dallas has received his dismis sal ; and this measure will perhaps be followed by the concentration of a large British naval force on the CO of Central America and on our northern lakes and sea' have board. In the speech from which the extracts we just quoted are taken, Lord Clarendon states tha t no an swer had up to that time been received from our Govern ment to his prop isition of referring the Central A merican suc h as It question to o r t i Since then the Lreplrd y, has gone out. It will be observed that e Clarendon reiterates the statement that, so far was Sir Hen r y Bul wer from abandoning any portion of British terr itor y or British int,rests, that he made a, str i n gent provis ion, which was acknowledged by Mr. Clayton, that the treaty should not touch Honduras or affec • any of its de p end encies. It was only on Mr. Buchanan's arrival in Eng land, he says, that be heard for the first time that there was an entirely new interpretation O ut up in the t reat y . The aspect of the two questions, which it was hop ed were in a fair train of settlement, looks anything but reassur ing. We are fast drifting into that p h as e of diplomatic co replications where a single false step would imme diately plunge us into w a r. And with this p rospct pa before us we have at the helm men on whose caettY u e to no reliance is to be placed. They have brought this pass by their foolish blundering and insane desire to make of the foreiem policy of the country a stePPing . c 011: stone to their. personal interests. Throwing int° fusion the one, and failing in the other, it is to be hop3d our! that they will point out lion means of e xtricating selves from the difficulties which they us. If they are unable to do so, let them make way for men who have the requisite experience and c ourage fare?. them.
