This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemule it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

It is even report authority, that certain persons _ semi-official information not to be present in the crowd on Monday evening.. I fear, too, from what I hear that the collision took place with the con currence of the Imperial Government at St. Peters burg. But, as I said, it might have been avoided. If a state of siege had been.proclaimed en Monday morning, after the temper of the town had been seen on Sunday—if the streets had been kept clear, and no crowd allowed to collect, or even if the Prince had consented to the reappointment of the special constables, under the direction of the Muni cipal. Connell, the innocent blood of women, of sight-seers, of merely inquisitiVe loiterers, need not have been shed. Since Monday certain laws and regulations, good enough in themselves, 'have been published for the preservation of the peace and the prevention of assemblages in the streets. But they ought to have been published before. Of unneces sary bloodshed it is surely as true in the case of Governments as of individuals that " All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. sorrow for their dead compatriots, nor their respect and regard for their living "Father," as they had called Count Andre, but simply to signify to the Russian Government their dissatisfaction at the measures it had taken, and with the promises it had made. The large space round the Viceregal Castle was therefore the place of gathering; the Viceroy hi mse lf th e man sought, and, if all had been subsequently managed by the autho rities as it was on this Sunday evening, I should have no fresh tale to tale of the bar barous massacre of unarmed crowds. The Castle -was at once surrounded with troops from the interior court, and the people were exhorted to go home. They were without arms; they had no intention of using violence. They only wished the Government to know that the national voice was against the dissolution of the Agricultural Society, that the national desires were still unsatisfied. The Generals in command listened, but replied that as military men they knew nothing of these things, and again repeated their exhortations to the crowd to retire. Ultimately an assurance was given that the people's wishes ahould be made known to the Prince ; and upon the withdrawal of the military the people at once withdrew. Thus closed Sunday, and Monday brought with it that uneasy, restless, insecure feeling which usually forbodes a storm. It was a Roman Catholic holiday. As is customary, all the shops were closed, all workshops empty, and the population of the town for the most part in the streets. The early part of the day passed without disturbance ; but towards 5 o'clock it was evident something was about to occur. Streams of people —men, women, and even children—were seen tend ing in one direction, and that towards the Viceregal Castle. At about 7 o'clock up went three signal rockets, and then three guns sent their booming sig nals over the town. We all knew too well that the work of bloodshed had begun. In a few minutes squadrons and detachments of cavalry and Cossacks were rushing through the principal streets to take up their pre-arranged positions. Every open space was occupied, every commanding position secured. And then was heard the fire of the infantry in the distance. It was a terrible moment. Citizens, grant them misguided if you will—grant them assembled on purpose to make demonstrations against the Government—but still citizens, un armed, unresisting, to be shot down like dogs ! Surely this is not work for the 19th century and for civilised Europe. The crowd had collected in very large numbers; and a drummer was sent among them to bid them by beat of the drum to disperse. This was repeated three times, but without effect. Indeed, how should it have been otherwise, for many had that morning re ceived the last sacrament, and were Prepared to die? The Marquis Wiclopolski's carriage appeared amid the crowd at this point, on its way to the Castle. It was instantly assailed with stones, and those within it—the son of the Marquis, M. Enoch, and a doctor, named Chalubinski—were more or less hurt. The order was then given to some squad rons of mounted Gendarmes and Cossacks to charge with drawn sabres. This they did, wounding many, but still the crowd would not move. Then went forth the word of command to the infantry to fire. The scene, I am told, had something of the sublime in it. Men and women stood up before the levelled muskets and repeated the order, " Fire ! " Mothers held up their babes and re-echoed the cry, " Fire !" The disregard of death was something awful. Then came three crashing volleys in quick succession. The accurate number of the killed and wounded, perhaps, never will be known. The Vice roy, in an official statement published in some of the papers next day, acknowledges that 10 were killed and 108 wounded ; but the number was much greater. The corpses were at once seized, and many wounded also, and dragged within the court of the Castle. The crowd, running for shelter into the nearest streets, was met by other bodies of troops and attacked. At one point they were hemmed in between two masses, and, falling on their knees, commenced singing a hymn. Even in this posture shots were fired among them. In the ex asperation of the moment two soldiers were killed and several seriously wounded. Two young stu dents, intimate friends, were there together in the front rank. One fell dead, shot by the soldier oppo site ; his friend seized the soldier's bayonet and killed him on the spot. Little by little the crowd dispersed, and the streets were cleared by mounted patrols of Cossacks, with their lances all in rest. Meanwhile, in answer to the signals, regiment after regiment of infantry had been marched into the town, and now occupied all the squares and open spaces under arms. Night closed in upon a city held by a hostile army, not protected by its own peaceful civil Government. Such were the events of Monday, April 8. During the night bodies of police, supported by troops, went through the town to all houses where it was sup posed there were any dead or wounded, and re moved them to the Citadel. Weeping women were thus deprived of the only solace left them—that of tending their sick, or bearing their dead to the burial. I say nothing of the dead, but that the wounded should have thus been removed from the custody and care of their relatives I say was in human. The troops bivouacked on the.spots they had occupied during the evening, and next morn ing the town presented the appearance of a vast camp—infantry, cavalry, artillery, and Cossacks filled every open space. Patrols constantly passed along the street, and commissariat waggons, with food for the troops, accompanied by armed escorts, were seen at intervals on their way to their several positions. During the day excitement ran very high ; but, happily, there was no very serious dis turbance. Whenever crowds collected they were dispersed. Individual acts of violence. occurred. Soldiers tore the national mourning from those who continued to wear it, and collisions took place in consequence, in which wounds were received, and, lam told, life was lost. Crowds of men and women went to the churches to receive the sacra ment, not knawing when death might overtake them. The prevalent feeling all day (as it has been up to the moment at which I am writing) was one of uncertainty and insecurity. But there is no change whatever in the popular mind. They are ready to be shot down again to-night, or to-mor row, or whenever the time comes, unarmed, unre sisting, as they were on Monday night. I have talked with members of workmen's families, and in that class they are equally ready to be victims, and equally purposed not to resort to force. Still they will make their wishes known. " Government must and shall hear us," they say, " or Europe shall." And all this bloodshed might have been easily avoided if the Government had wished it. But I fear they wished for a collision. All through the country the same spirit prevails, and they hoped this would check it. At Kalisch, at Lublin, at Plock, at Kielce, at Mlawa, at Siedlec, at Radom, there have been similar demonstrations. The Governor of the department of Lublin has arrived in Warsaw, and refused to return. A provisional committee manages the affairs of the department. The country has never for gotten the words of the present Czar, on the occa sion of his first visit to Warsaw after his accession —" All that my father did in Poland was well done." They are often quoted against him to this day. And so the people have no faith in promises of reforms. They ask, and with some show of reason, " What guarantee have we that the Ukase of /861 will be carried out any more than the Organic Statute of 1832 ?" Then, again, the army was in danger of losing its morale by such futile displays of force as that of Sunday evening. The infantry, drawn up face to face with the crowd, heard their jokes and laughed at them, received cigars at their hands, were chucked under the chin by them, and told to hold up their heads in a more soldierly manner. It is said that Chruloff, the general who has lately arrived from St. Petersburg to take command of the troops in the town, remon- GOVERNMENT AID TO VOLUNTE,ERs; Yesterday an influential meeting of officers com manding volunteer corps was held at the Thatched House Tavern, St. Jatnes's-street, for the purpose of conferring with Lord Elcho upon the measure he is about to-bring before the Legislature, and of im pressing the members of Parliament with whom they have influence and the Government with the absolute necessity of some more efficient aid being extended to volunteer corps than has yet been afforded. DeputationS attended from some of the principal towns in England and Scotland. The Mayor of Bristol was called to the chair. Mr. Sheriff BELL said the subject which that meeting had been called to consider had been taken up in accordance with a series of resolutions passed at a meeting held recently in Glasgow, which had been convened by circulars addressed to nearly 200 commanding officers of volunteer rifle corps in all parts of England and Scotland. He then read the circular, which in effect urged the propriety of ap plying for Government aid for the volunteers, and suggesting that representations should be made to the Government simultaneously from different places, as by this means there was more chance of obtaining a favourable result. It further stated that a meeting had been held in Glasgow last Fri day, and that a deputation was to proceed to Lon don for the purpose of urging this question upon the attention of Parliament. He concluded by pro posing a resolution in effect that the meeting was of opinion that in order to meet the great expense of the volunteers an amount of £1 per man should be asked from the Government to enable them to meet some portion of the expenses not at present provided for. The t , OMMANDANT of the 3d Manchester Volun teers thought the,time had come when the volunteer force should be supported to some extent by the Government as one of the permanent institutions of the country, and had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He thought the amount asked for was a reasonable one. He could say that the expenses of some of the corps, particularly of the artisan corps, one of which he commanded, were so great that he believed the men could not afford to con tiriue to belong to them, And if Government wished to foster the movement they must do something for those whose pecuniary position did not enable them to meet ail the requirements of such an institution. Capt. BRAN DRAN, commandant of the Blackheath Artillery, supported the resolution, and thought the question of payment of clothing should be kept entirely out of view. The COMMANDANT of the Ist Lancashire Engi neers said his corps met their entire expenses for 13s. per annum, or 3d. per week per man. This was expended in storehouses, inspectors, and other inci dental expenses. His corps was entirely an artisan corps, and they found that 3d. per week was suffi cient to defray all expenses of this character. Colonel EGERTON thought it was a wise plan to ask for a grant for the whole expenses instead of indicating any particular items, and bothering Go vernment with details, which might make them look less favourably upon their proposition. He also thought it was not desirable to ask for any grant as to the clothing, but,that they might ask to be allowed to have it at the Government price. The COMMANDANT of an Edinburgh corps thought that the expenses of the orderly department ought to be met by Government aid, and not paid out of the funds of the corps. He believed that the artisans could not keep on paying 4d or 4d per week, with the additional expense of providing for their uni form every two or three years. The more they at tended to their drill the sooner their clothes would wear out, and the greater the expense to which they would be put. The result was that the more a man strove to render himself efficient in his drill, the greater the expense would be to him. Lord Erato, who was received with great cheer ing, said that the object he had in view in the reso lution which had been proposed at the meeting con vened by him on the 23d of February last, was to frame an application that might be made to the Go vernment for governmental aid in such a manner that by its manifesting a reasonable character it would render it quite unreasonable on the part of the Government to refuse it. The Government at present bore the expenses of adjutants and inspec tors, They also gave the rifles; and although at first they did not give the ammunition, that neces sary adjunct to rifle practice was furnished by the authorities. The reason why the question of cloth ing was kept out of his resolution was because it had been considered upon mature deliberation that it was better to let the men choose their own cloth ing in their own district, as they would not only be better satisfied with what they had, but it would tend to encourage trade. He bad written to about 200 different corps upon the question of his resolu tions, and he had received answers from upwards of 100 in various parts of the country, and of those there were only two who in any way dis sented from his suggestion of asking Govern ment to afford volunteer corps some pecuniary aid, and of those two, one commanding officer had writ ten to say he had defrayed the entire, expenses of his corps himself, and intended to continue to do so without any Government aid. After some further discussion the resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. Sheriff BELL moved the second resolution, which was to a certain extent confirmatory of the first. Sir J. V. SHELLEY, Bart., M.P., commandant of the London National Rifles, thought it was impor tant that Lord Eleho should be able, when he brought the question before the House of Commons, to state their reasons for asking for a definitive amount, and his noble friend would now be able to lay before the house the expressed opinion of the commanding officers of so many corps, and he could not but think that it must have great effect upon the members. Lord RANELAGII cordially supported the resolu tions, and which was coincident with that which he had proposed more than twelve months ago, viz., that the government should pay £1 per head per man towards the expenses of the corps. The resolution having been carried, a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. HEALTH OF LONDON DUELING THE WEEK.

THE GARIBALDIANS.—The Official Gazette of Turin publi s h es a d ecree relat i ve to the reorganisation of the Garibaldian army. In virtue of th is decree the Gari baldian officers will form part of the new corps, which will be composed of three divisions. It is hoped at Turin that these measures will remove one of the principal causes of difference between Count Cavour and Garibaldi, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1861, Office of the Gas Light and Coke Company, Horseferry-road, Westminster, 15th April, 1860. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That a HALF YEARLY GENERAL COURT of PROPRIETORS of this COMPANY will be held at the Company's Gas Works, Horseferry-road, Westminster, on FRIDAY, the 3d day of May next. The Chair will be taken at Twelve o'clock precisely. By order. C. BURLS, Secretary. Messrs. Brett and Heslop, the latter having safely alighted on the ground, were sustaining a warm con test with the assassins, who had retreated a short distance. The fight lasted until three full rounds had been fired by the officers of the Valorous, when the assailants availed themselves of the still pre vailing darkness (for it was about 4 o'clock a.m.) to make off, taking with them such of their companions as were killed or wounded. The original number of the assailants is bet ieved to have been nine. Capt. Aldham and Mdme. Maison were taken to Cordova and quartered in the house of Mr. Lagrand, where they received the attention of Dr. Carrillo, of Orizava, and the good offices of Messrs. Grandison and Glennie. Mr. Brett was at once despatched to Vera Cruz, in the diligence upon which this villain ous attack was made, for the purpose of bringing the surgeon of the Valorous. He was accompanied by two of Mr. Glennie's daughters. This diligence was robbed, but Mr. Brett having no arms a simple robbery was all that occurred. The surgeon of the Valorous, Lieut. Moore, a few mounted marines, and Mr. Brett arrived at Cordova on the 13th, at 10 o'clock in the morning. At the time of our last advices from Capt. Aldham it was not yet. known whether his leg could be saved or not. He has the advantage of being in a fine climate and everything favours his sad situation, if it be possible to effect a cure of his wound." A letter in the Extraordinary, from Puebla, gives the following particulars of another affair with banditti : " The diligence that left this for Perote, on the 11th was attacked two posts this side of that place by 27 robbers. There were seven passengers in all in the diligence, among them two Americans, nun& M'Dye and Hailey, and a Frenchman, whose name I have not learnt. The two Americans were well armed, having each a rifle and a pair of revolvers. On the appearance of the robbers the stage was at once stopped, and the two Americans got out and commenced a sharp resistance. The battle waged for about an hour, when the robbers—those who remained—retired, leaving three dead in sight, two of whom were killed by Mr. M'Dye, and the other by the Frenchman. Two dead robbers were after. wards found in the woods, and it is believed that several more of them must have been severely, if not mortally, wounded. On the part of the passen gers the Frenchman received the first wound. He was shot through the body, and is considered to be in a dangerous situation. Mr. M'Dye received a ball in his side, after it had passed through his left arm. Mr. Hailey was not harmed. The coachman is said to have received a ball in his hat. To the rest of the passengers nothing happened." A doubtful report comes from Texas that Gen. Ampudia, with 3,000 Mexicans, was 60 miles off, marching on Brownsville. Ampudia had despatched expresses with placards and handbills, announcing that Texas rightly belonged to Mexico, that she would no longer have the support of the Federal Government, and now was the time to take her. Reinforcements in large numbers were rapidly coming in to him. Colonel Ford had ordered all the heavy guns and ordnance stores at Brazos Island to be removed from the scene of anticipated difficulties. a cruel termination to a visit which had afforded us all much pleasure. It is generally believed that this outrage was premeditated and perpetrated by partisans of the Church faction. During the last 12 days, on the road from this capital to Vera Cruz, one foreigner had been killed, and five others severely, if not mortally, wounded. In the neigh bourhood of Toluca an aged foreigner and his wife have been butchered to the cries of "Death to foreigners !" The signs of the times are not to be mistaken. There is a concerted plan to wage war upon all foreigners. The English Government have long been warned privately, and through your columns. Perhaps, now that a Vice-Consul has been murdered, and the captain of a British man-of-war engaged in a diplomatic mission severely wounded, some efficient protection may be extended to other English residents. A foreign protectorate, sup ported by a foreign force, is the only remedy. At the present moment England and France might apply this remedy without even wounding the sus ceptibility of the United States. Reasons of expe diency and sound policy for such a course are not wanting, and if the integrity of the Republic is to be preserved, must, sooner or later, be adopted. On the Pacific, in Lower California, we hear of an in vasion of Filibusters, and on the Rio Bravo we hear of preparation for separation, and the erection of the " Sierra Madre Republic." The day before yesterday.M. Dubois de Saligny gave his invaluable support to the cause of consti tutional liberty by acknowledging the present Government. The inducement for this very sud den change of policy on the part of a gentleman who has proved, upon more than one occasion, that he is heart and soul with the opposite party as yet remains a secret. Reasons are assigned, but they must assume more of consistency before I adopt them for the columns of your journal. By advices lately received it would seem that General Doblado has completely routed Marquez and Mejia, taken 400 prisoners, and among them a very pernicious chief named Santa Cruz—the number of killed is said to have been considerable. A conducta of 2,280,000 dollars left this capital for Vera Cruz on the 13th inst., and it is to be hoped that it will reach its destination in safety. Senor Lerdo, of Trejada, a man on whom the future of this country much depends, has had a severe attack of typhus. For a time his life was despaired of. A change for the better has taken place, and he is now, I am happy to say, out of danger. Senor Mata is the person named as likely to be sent Minister to London. He for some time represented the Constitutional Government at Washington, where his conduct appears to have given ground for general satisfaction. No arrangement has yet been come to for the payment of the 660,000 dollars stolen from the bondholders. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The Royal Mail steamship Canada", which touched at Queenstown yesterday, has arrived. The .21Tew ork, Tribune narrates an incident vi hich took place at the White House on the 31st : " A scene of exciting interest occurred at the White House yesterday, which has obtained pub licity from the number of persons present, in which Mr. Lincoln exhibited the Jacksonian element in his character to much advantage. A delegation from California called to protest against the influ ence supposed to be exerted by Senator Baker in the appointments for that State. A paper was pre sented to the President, severely reflecting upon him and the motives which actuated his conduct. After hearing their statement and charges, Mr. Lincoln informed the delegation that he could not enter into any such personal controversy. He said he had known Mr. Baker 25 years, and did not credit the aspersions. To conclude the matter, he calmly destroyed the document and threw the scraps into the fire, with an admonition which re minded those present of some neglected proprieties, The delegation withdrew, and do not propose re newing the interview soon." The Government policy respecting the Southern forts had not leaked out, but it was surmised that Fort Sumter only would be abandoned. Governor Pickens sent a lengthy message to the South Carolina State Convention on the 28th. First he explains the inaction in re Fort Sumter. The C. S. A. took from him all responsibility in the premises. The troops which the State enlisted for this purpose, with the officers, are still in commis sion, and Governor Pickens urges the necessity of their being provided for by the Confederate authori ties. Thus far the expenditures of the State in her' new experiment have been 640,317 dols., of which amount 195,000 dols. was disbursed by the Ordnance Board. Since this expense was in curred for the common weal Governor Pickens cherishes the belief that the C. S. A. will assume it. Some action should be taken authoris ing the transfer to the new Government of the arms seized by the C. S. A. Having disposed of these practical matters, Governor Pickens proceeds to set forth the philosophy of the Secession movement. Hitherto in the history of the world the struggle has been to secure personal rights. That has been accomplished. The United States Government was framed to secure the rights of political communi ties, and having failed in that object it became necessary to make a new attempt. The Governor adds : " Our State, true to the great principles upon which the Confederacy was formed, and true to those great and progressive ideas which were so identified with American independence, was forced to resume her original powers of government; and if she suc ceeds in engrafting the fundamental right of a separate and independent State, to withdraw from any Confederacy that may be formed, whenever her people, in sovereign convention assembled, shall so decide, then she will have made another advance in the science of government, and added another guarantee to the great principle of civil liberty. And if this principle could be secured without an appeal to arms and blood it would show that the country has progressed in civilisation and intelli gence, so far as to be able to settle all controversies and issues involving political rights by an appeal to reason, interest, to free discussion, to conventions, to treaties and covenants, rather than by an appeal to brutal force." It is reported from Montgomery that the railway from that place to Pensacola would be completed in a few days, great efforts having been made to finish it in order to facilitate the transportation of troops to the siege of Fort Pickens. It is also said that 2,000 troops were expected at Montgomery. Troops, provisions, and ammunition were flowing into the Confederate army in numbers and quan tities. The Alabama papers relate an attempt to spike the guns at Fort Pickens : " A man named Doyle, one of the workmen at the Navy Yard, slipped over to Fort Pickens a few nights ago, and came very near getting in before he was discovered. He had a bundle of rat-tail files in his pocket, and says if it had not been for a ser geant holding a lantern up to his face as he was going in the door he would have had every gun spiked in 20 minutes. He was sent back by Slem zner, with the request that he be dealt with, as he did not wish to do anything that might bring about a collision, which was so much to be depre cated. Colonel Clayton sent a note in reply, by the hands of Private Bullock (who, by the by, has since been appointed to a corporalcy), stating that he would punish Doyl9, but just at this time he had too much need of his services in casting cannon bulls. The conference took place just outside the fort." The Federal steamer General Rush had landed troops at Key West and proceeded with others to Tortugas. The Brooklyn had arrived at New York with disbanded troops from Texas. In the Virginia State Senate, the House amendment, authorising the Governor to call out a guard to resist the re moval of the guns from the Bellona Foundry, was agreed to. Nine senators presented a protest against the passage of the resolutions into law. The Senate refused to permit the protest to go upon the journal. The secession feeling appeared to be gaining strength. In the Convention a delegate from Albe marle county presented a resolution, passed by a portion of the people represented by him, instruct ing him to vote for secession. He said that when he became convinced that a majority of the people of the county desired him to vote so, he should shape his course according to their desire. Resolu tions of a like character were presented from three other counties. The Secessionists, in consequence of these and similar indications of feeling, were becoming more emboldened, and did not hesitate to declare their intention to precipitate secession as in the case of Texas, even at the expense of a division between Eastern and Western Virginia. Notwith standing the state of affairs in the South, the fol lowing paragraph would lead us to believe that slaves had not fallen in value : “The Memphis Avalanche says that at a sale of negroes belonging to Mrs. T. Ganett, of Lafayette county, Mississippi, the following were the sums paid, the sale being made upon nine months' credit : — . Wilson, 4 years old, 917 dole. 50c. ; John, 16 years old, 1,778 doll. ; Andrew, 14 years old, 1,527 dolts. ; Susan, 48 years old, and child 4 years old, 967 clols. ; Ellen, 25 years old, and.two children, 3 and 5, 1,300 dole. ; Ann, 25 years old, and infant child, 1,454 dole. ; Amanda, 10 years old, 1,225 dole. ; Mary, 8 years old, 374 dols. ; Becky, 6 years old, 761 dols. ; Jane, 12 years old, 1,601 dols.— making a total of 12,404 dole. 50c.” The Mexican Extraordinary of March 16 gives the following particulars of the attack upon Capt. Aldham " Captain Aldham's party consisted of Mr. Brett, Mr. Heslop, and a hardy sailor named Harris, all well armed. They were accompanied by Mr. Glen- Die, English Consul of this city, his sister-in-law Mrs. Kauffman, and Madame Maison, the com panion. in misfortune of Captain Aldham. The whole company had two diligences, which were escorted for a part of the way, and they reached Orizava in safety. Here it was supposed all danger ended, and on leaving Orizava all the travellers appear to have been quietly snoozing away in their seats, when, a short distance beyond Cordova, they were alarmed by the diligence stopping and the cry of robbers. Captain Aldham and his officers being in the first diligence, with Mrs. Kauffman and the unfortunate French lady, they at once seized their arms and prepared for defence. Capt. Aldham fired his pistol upon one of the assassins at the side of the diligence, and then made a dash to gain a position outside. As he was alighting he was fired 'upon and fell, the ball having passed through his thigh. The same discharge wounded Madame Maison. A ball passed through the dili gence and hit that unfortunate lady in the knee, breaking the bone in such a manner that her leg, it is feared, must be amputated. In the meantime Harris, the sailor, on the top of the stage, and 111EXI( 0. A letter from Mexico, dated March 18, says : In some of my previous communications I touched cursorily upon the laws which had lately been passed relating to the Church property, and, as the question is one which affects very intimately the foreign creditor, I am again induced to revert to it. The first law, which was passed in the year 1856, did nothing more than take the fee away from the Church, it enabled tenants of Church property, and in their default, other parties who might feel so disposed, to denounce the property according to a certain scale ; but it compelled him to pay a rent calculated at the rate of 6 per cent. on the value at which it was denounced to the Church. The pub lic thus became trustees for the Church, who were, to all intents and purposes, cestuique trusts. Things were in this state when the revolution, effected by Zuluaga, was brought about, and so they remained up to the 13th of July, 1859, when the Vera Cruz Government published a decree de claring the Church property national, and pointing out the manner in which it was to be dealt with. I have before had occasion to remark on the mon strous injustice of the law, which, giving the whole advantage to the holder of a fictitious security, known as the " interior debt," left the bona fide foreign creditor and claimant exactly in the same position as he was before the passing of the law. Why the home creditor, with a very doubtful secu rity, should have so marked a preference over the foreign creditor, with a valid security, would seem to require some explanation. At all events, a like option ought to have been extended to both. Mex ico can be considered in no other light than as a bankrupt's estate, and ought to have been dealt with as such. When, therefore, she suddenly became possessed of a vast and unexpected accession of wealth, every one had a right to suppose that this would be marshalled in a proper and equitable manner. This not having been done, surely foreign nations have a right to interfere and see that their citizens are placed, in semblance at least, on a par with those of Mexico. The English Govern ment, for instance, might very fairly say, " You have never complied with your obli gations to the bondholders, year aft er year have yen violated your contract ; you must, now that the means are at your disposal, enter into some arrange ment for the punctual fulfilment of your engage ment," or they may reasonably say " There are numbers of our citizens who have been most merci lessly robbed, who have been ruined by your illegal exactions, whose claim to reparation you yourselves have admitted, and many of whom have been kept out of their just rights for periods varying from five to six-and-twenty years, these, at all events, must be placed on an equal footing with your home cre ditor." That these decrees should have been allowed to pass without eliciting any remarks from foreign representatives or from the agents of foreign credi tors is unaccountable. As your correspondent I have thought it right again to touch upon this subject, that the bondholders or English claimants against Mexico may, if they can, avail themselves of the present opportunity—which is the only one they are likely to have for many years to come—of ob taining payment. That Juarez, as President under the Constitution of 1857, has acted illegally in dis posing of the Church property without the consent of Congress cannot admit of a doubt, and his doing so at a time when Zuluaga was the acknowledged President of the Republic cannot bar the right which any foreign creditor may have acquired. As the Constitutional Government has only just been acknowledged by the British Government, there is yet time for English creditors to prefer their claims, and for the British Government to support them if they so think fit. Unless, however, some steps are at once taken, the whole of this vast property, suffi cient, if properly administered, to clear the country of debt, will be squandered ; a few Mexican specu lators will be enriched, the country will in no ways be benefited, and the foreign creditor will be left to the gradual improvement of the country as the only means of obtaining payment for his long-pend ing and undisputed claims—a sorry prospect. The sad intelligence of Captain Aldham and his party having been attacked by a body of armed men on their way to Vera Cruz, and of the former having been severely wounded by a ball in the thigh, reached this capital a few days back, and has cast a general gloom. It appears that they had passed Cordova, where all danger was supposed to be at an end, when the diligence was so suddenly attacked that the party had no time to prepare for defence. The Captain immediately jumped out, pistol in hand, but was disabled by the first shot fired. Lieut. Heaslop, Mr. Brett, and Harris, the sailor, made a most gallant defence, and after a fight of consider able duration, succeeded in driving off their brutal assailants. Full particulars have not as yet come to hand, but it is hoped that Capt. Aldham's wound is not serious. A French lady received a ball in the knee, and her leg, it is feared, will have to be amputated. The rest of the party consisted of Mrs. Kauffman and the family of Mr. Consul Glennie, who all, most fortunately, escaped unhurt. This is THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND. A letter from Warsaw, dated April 10, says—An infatuation has taken possession of the rulers of this people. One cannot help recalling those words, so often verified by the result—" Quern Deus trill perdere Arius dernentat." No sooner do they take a step in the right direction,—no sooner is the public mind a little traquillised by conciliatory measures, than there is immediately some withdrawal of some thing dear to the nation's heart—some open vio lence done to the national wishes. . I closed my last with a few words on the bad effect produced by the order for the dissolution of the force of special constables. I mentioned that fresh demonstrations were likely to be the result. I had hardly sent off my letter when they began. In the course of Thursday evening last and Friday there were several. They were very peaceable in their character, consisting of the assemblage of two or three thousand persons around some figure of the Virgin, and the singing of some religious hymns. There was no violation of the peace, and no interference on the part of the authorities, so that they died a natural death, being openly discouraged by the majority of the popu lation. But on Saturday an event occurred which has roused up once more all the strongest national passions, and has resulted in fresh scenes of mas sacre and bloodshed. This was an order from the Council of Administration, signed by Prince Gort schakoff, to dissolve the Agricultural Society. No- - thing could have been more ill-timed ; nothing more unwise. The Marquis IVielopolski is believed to have been the author of this measure, and there is no doubt that it had his sanction in the Council. Ho is a man of a most despotic temperament, and cares nothing for popular opinion, always carrying an idea into execution in spite of friends and foes. Last week, as I told you, the popular feeling had rather turned in his favour, in consequence of his more liberal management of the press, and several other matters which gratified the national preju dices ; but towards the end of the week he sent for the several religious consistories, and spoke to them in terms which produced a very unfavourable im pression. Especially he declared he would allow "no Government within the Government," a phrase which, though variously interpreted, was generally believed to have reference to the Agricultural Society, and the part that had been taking in public affairs. These - surmises were but too well founded, as was seen by the order of Saturday deoreeing its dissolution. The decree consists of three para graphs—the first declaring that, in consequence of the Agricultural Society's interference in things beyond its province, it was dissolved by the will of the Emperor and King; the next promising that committees for agricultural purposes should be esta blished throughout the kingdom in its place ; and the third ordering the transfer of its existing funds to the Bank of Poland, as a deposit for the benefit of those to whom they belonged. As might have been expected, the people regarded the whole thing as an attack on Count Andre Zamoyski, the presi dent; and they were proportionably exasperated at seeing such an affront directed against one who possessed their love and confidence. Moreover, though it was true in fact that the committee of the society had, perhaps, exceeded the powers granted by the ukase which authorised its forma tion, it had done so by permission or by express invitation. If the expression in the decree had reference to the discussion of the present question, the president had received ex press :permission in writing from the Prince him self to discuss this matter ; if it referred to the part it had taken since the commencement of the present disturbances, the president and vice-presi dent had been specially summoned by the Prince to give him the benefit of their advice and assistance. From.every point of view, therefore, the society's dissolution was most impolitic. On Sunday, the day after the publication of the decree, public feel ing gave itself expression in three monster demon strations. After morning service there was an immense gathering at the cemetery of Powonski,:at the grave of the victims of the 27th of February. In the afternoon many thousands assembled in front of the building in which the Agricultural Society's business is transacted, and after decorating it with garlands went to the palace of Count Andre Zamoyski to present him with the two wreaths — one "in the name of a grateful country to the President of the Agricultural Society," the other "To the Count Andre Zamoyski as a testimonial of the confidence and respect of his fellow- countrymen." It was a perfect ovation. The order was wonderful. The special constables, though disbanded, were there keeping the peace, only showing their cards of authority, which they carried in their pockets in stead of on their hats as before, to be instantly obeyed. And then, after the Count, in compliance with the demands of the crowd, had appeared on a balcony and said a few words to the assembled thousands, they dispersed as quietly as they had collected. In the evening, for the third time during the day, the inhabitants of the town collected in immense numbers—this time not to testify their ler. be as- ser- ail], tied for ren -4 I . laid is tont the Dell ailY pri baa ace, the his 3red on ; be any Is a erß• )eell CaSe for altY ntrl irate Ices. !lout fully yoUr a nd ienit been rmer WOO low, I, $0 rhea :8 Gd the ry's oral era' ties, on till Lai Etna ant ife st. t o 0- or, --~ ~----
