LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1881. DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT. We have to-day the painful intelligence to corn municate to our readers of the death of the Duchess of Kent. Her Royal Highness has for several i years been suffering from cancer, and the disease) has of late made great progress. No immediate danger, however, was apprehended until yesterdav,i and to the last we had hoped that the alarm wash premature, bat this morning she expired, herl 1 august daughter having been summoned to Frog-1 more on the previous evening. As the mother of our Queen the nation owes her a deep debt of gratitude for the training which their SoveH reign received from her ; and probably none of the consorts of any of the Royal Dukes enjoyed a higher degreel of public respect than the Duchess of Kent. The, nation will sympathise deeply with their Queen in losing such a mother, though it is some consolation) that she had considerably more than reached the three score years artd ten assigned to human life as l its desirable limit, as will be seen from the follow ing particulars, which may at the moment be in teresting to our readers : VICTORIA MARIA Lousiit, Duchess of Kent, fourth daughter of the late Duke FRANCIS of Saxe Coburg Saalfeld, sister of His Majesty LEOPOLD, King of the Belgians, and aunt to the Duke of Saxe Coburg • and Gotha; born August 17, 1786; married first 4 December 21, 1803, Emich Charles, Prince of Leiningen, who died July 4, 1814 ; secondly, May 29, 1818, His Royal Highness EDWARD, Duke of . Kent, who died January 23, 1820. Issue of first marriage—CHAßLES, Prince of Leiningen, born; September 12, 1804, died November, 1856 ; Prin cess FEODORE, born December 7, 1807 ; married 18th February, 1828, ERNEST, Prince de Hohenlohe ' Lagen burg. Issue of second marriage —Her Ma jesty the QUEEN. If the right hon. gentleman the President of the I Board of Trade does nothing else this session than carry through Parliament that Bill, leave to intro duce which he obtained last evening from the House of Commons, he, at least, among our sixteen. Cabinet Ministers, will have done admi rably. The design of the Bill, as .its very title intimates, is " to facilitate the construction and improvement of harbours, by authorising loans to . harbour authorities, to abolish passing tolls, and for other purposes." Once formed into an enact ment it will ensure a large measure of relief to the : Shipping interest, and one the advantages accruing: fr om which that interest will be the first to appre-,. ela te. N 3 wonder the House of Commons wel- ' _. corned thi s measure o f re lief with a sense of pecu liar • ar sa tisfaction, particularly after the right hon. gentleman', admirably lucid explanation of its , bearing and character. The object of the Bill, as he explained at the very outset of his remarks, is nothing more nor less than to facilitate the ~ constra etion and improvement of harbours, ` by the grantin g of loans N'ot that for that pur pose. :14 . Va GIBSON, While holding ou t this prospect to the Legislature, vious was in any way ob i . of the fact---, fa ct in every way nnhappily, only too notorious —that in f ormer times 4 the State has been sufficiently lavi s h in granting, for _ i .... 4 o f harbours, those the construction grants obtained i s gregate of expend in past years an a expend iture in this „ Very considerable and way very considerable!, ve r y li b 1 ~ i n spite o deplorable, considering' how s_g_t_y , these dead and gone .grants fr om Parliament, the Harbours of England have been in any apprecia ble and perceptible manner improved. The Right THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1861. ,Hon. Gentleman, in point of fact, is so conscious 01 ,the prodigal, and even profligate manner in which ° I the House of Commons has, before now, yielded !supplies notoriously to this end, that he took [the trouble, while asking leave to , !introduce his Bill in respect to Har ,-,:neememess=paumm... for differential dues should cease, and that in the meantime the sum to be paid should be the sum they had received on an average during the last five years. He thought that in this provision the Government acted most liberally, and he hoped that Parliament would help the Government in relieving the general taxpayers of the conn ,. try from a charge which in justice they ought no longer to pay." And with th ose words virtually terminated the statement with which the President of the Board of Trade asked leave to bring in his benevolent and patriotic measure for the relief of :the shipping interest from a variety of unjust and obnoxious charges, and the relief also of the public . t- generally from improper taxes hitherto levied without necessity and without anything at all like, compensative advantages !

His speech will, we hope, in spite of !censorship, find its way even into Hungarian papers, I where it may be justly believed that Mr. DUN COMBE represents his country better than does her I 7 oreign Minister. Mr. DUN COMBE called the noble lord, however, to account for one expression in a despatch which he could not deny—the despatch first got out through a continental paper in a translation, con sequently there was no avoiding its insertion in • the Blue-book—we refer to that of the 31st of August last, in which Lord JOHN, in evident terror lest GARIBALDI and the Italians should pay a visit to Dalmatia, and so give Hungary an opportunity of rising—talked of English interests in the Adriatic which must be watched with care ful attention. We all of us, at first won dered what those interests could be—we bit `our nails, and performed the usual operations of ',puzzled persons—till at last we answered that he ) 'must mean Corfu. Yes, he said last night Corfu cis what I did mean, and a very important interest it is, too. His lordship was careful to explain that it was not the great " currant interest " of the Sept-insular Republic," but that of our having a .1 , garrison there and a harbour. These, it seems, Lord JOHN RUSSELL sent a fleet of 800 guns to take care of, when GARIBALDI seemed likely to ' invade Dalmatia! eours yesterday, to specify the exact amours which he had found upon inquiry had during the last few years, or as recently as from 1851 to 1860 inclusively, been given to the same end by the State —namely, the good round sum of £3,144,190. England alone, he reminded the house, had a dis tinct amount of £38,000 advanced for the facilita tion of harbour enterprize. "It was proposed," he said, " by this bill to assist the improvement and construction of harbours by loans on easy terms, the repayment of the sums so advanced to take place at a longer time than the loans granted under the „ Public Loan Companies Acts." Adding, however, immediately as a not unwelcome pendant, that " It was not proposed by this measure that the State. .. . We tender our best thanks to Mr. DUNCOMBE! s should make any profit, but that the money should , for commencing the interrogatories respecting, be advanced at such a rate as would pay the State, ' Austria and Hungary, or rather of the action of F. 1 and allow different places the means of bringing 'your Foreign Office in regard to them, which we their resources into effect."

Of one l thing we are quite certain—the whole kingdom would vote as one man that we should give up twenty Corfus rather than allow an English fleet to sid Austria in keeping down Hungary, or in retaining her gripe on any of her oppressed na tionalities.

Our loss is 3 killed, and 19 wounded. 'Natives, 130 killed-5 chiefs-70 wounded. OUR WINTER GARDEN. At the invitation of the Royal Horticultural Society we this morning visited the works now in progress at our magnificent new Winter Garden at South Kensington. From the litter of bricks and mortar, barrows and planks, covering the chief part of the area surrounded by the arched collonade, we cannot but think that their invitation has been no doubt generously but rather injudiciously premature. The space set apart there is very big and that is all we can say about the enterprise just yet. A little later on and we may be enabled to under stand better how far the model of the Gardens (as they are intended to be)—a model now on view at the entrance—will be realised. SERF EMANCIPATION IN RUSSIA. The Kolokel of the 15th March announces the' complete triumph of the party of emancipation in Russia. The law has passed in the Council of State. All the land cultivated by the peasants is ( conceded to them, and not the fourth part, as was ,stated. The manifest will appear on the 24th of March. The opposition of the Russian planters has been furious, and the Emperor has displayed !astonishing energy. He was actively supported in the Council only by the Grand Duke Constantine; Bloudoff, President of the Council ; Lanskoy, Minister of the Interior; Chefkin, Minister of the Public Roads ; and the Secretary of the State,l Bachtin. PARIS, MARCH 16. The Moniteur, in its bulletin of to-day, says : " The Conference resolved yesterday upon pro longing the French occupation of Syria until the l sth June next. The protocol has been signed, and will be converted into a convention on Tuesday next." The debate on the address continued yesterdayl in the Corps Legislatif. the first eight para- / graphs were adopted. On the discussion of the ninth paragraph several members insisted on being informed whether the Ist October, 1861, was to be maintained as the date for executing the articles of the treaty of commerce with England. They likewise demanded explanations relative to the treaty of commerce between France and Bel- 1 gium. M. Baroche replied that the treaty with Belgium still formed the subject for negotiations, and said,— " As regards the date fixed for the execution of the English treaty, the inquiry has produced contra dictory results, and it has not yet been decided, therefore, whether the date will be advanced. Government would only take this step if the inte rests of French commerce should be clearly shown to demand it." • TURIN, MARCH 16. In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Count Cavour, replying to an interpellation re specting the state of the Roman question, acknow ledged that the discussion of that question was both opportune and advantageous, and promised that he would give the explanations required on the 21st March. POSEN, MARCH 16. The imperial rescript has produced a most dis couraging impression at Warsaw.

Since the beginning of the present week it has become known at Copenhagen that no arrangement with the Estates now assembled at Itzehoe is to be expected. Earthworks for the fortification of Dannewick has therefore been commenced, and blockhousek have been sent to the frontier of Schleswig. PARIS, FRIDAY. The debate on the address was continued to-day . in the Corps Legislatif. M. Gillibert protested against the omission in the illoniteur of the words, " I who am a Repub lican," pronounced yesterday by M. 011ivier in his speech. The President explained that those words had escaped a member whose speech was in other respects marked by honesty and moderation, and rendered justice to the Government. "M. 011ivier," he added, "is however at liberty to repeat the ex pression in question." The assembly then dropped , the matter by passing to the order of the day, end the debate was continued on the second paragraph ,of the address. M. de Pierre made a speech against the decree of the 24th November, and demanded that the re-' sponsibility of Ministers for their acts should be l also decreed. The second paragraph was adopted by the Chamber. WARSAW, MARCH 15. The resignation of General Muchanow, Curator of Poland, is spoken of in well-informed circles. This news has produced a good effect. BERLIN, MARCH 15. Russia sent altogether but one division of fresh troops to Poland. No despatch to, nor any concentration of, Prus sian troops at Posen have taken place on account of any apprehension being entertained by the Go• vernment of disturbances in that town.

At this present moment, by reason of the events! occurring in the United States of America, a kreat deal of anxiety and discussion ia to be observed asi prevailing among the owners of cotton-mills.l Some have recommended Zanguebar or Australia ;, others, again, India, and various places, as most fit' for the cultivation of that most usef u l p ro d uc t ; b ut this well-wisher takes the present opportunity to' demonstrate his friendly feelings by suggesting tot : the President of the Roy al Asiatic Society that the province of Khuristan, now known by the name of Persia Arabia, is, from the circumstances of its' vicinity to the sea, the fertility of its soil, the num ber of rivers, as fur instance, the Kerkha, the Karen (Karun), the Jerrahi, Behbehan, better adapted than the afore-named countries—that is to say, in' fact, the very best place for the cultivation oti cotton. From the foot of the mountain-ranges; of Luristan, Arabistan, and Behbeban, as: far as the shores of the Persian 'Gulf,/ and of the Shattee-'l 2 Arab, extends a vast! , country, the greater part of which is capable of. being cultivated so as to produce any required quantity of cotton, sugar, opium, or indigo. Even as things are at present, and in spite of the wart of capital and of special knowledge among the in habitants of those parts, a portion of the lands in question are cultivated near Shuster, Dizful, and Fellahigga. It is related by the Arabian historians that, at the time when the dyke of the Karun, near Aliwaz.. formed a source of prosperity to the environs, it was customary to place on the dinner table of the Caliph at Baghdad, every evening, a tray of bread, with a thousand pieces of gold as derived from the revenue of that district. For this reason, the dis trict received the appellation of " Selletu-'l-Khubz,", , i.e., " Bread-basket." Besides this, the ancient name of that region, in the old Persian language,.; is Khuzistan ; and " Khuz" means " Sugar. By • reason of its producing immense quantities of that product, the country became known as Khuzistan„: i e., Sugarland ; and it is evident that the manufae • Curers of England may easily and speedily obtain from those regions any desired quantity of good and beautiful cotton. Many English travellers have visited those parts and viewed them from one ex tremity to the ether, and have become well ac quainted with its circumstances. From them toot the truth may be learnt. In short, should the ideas above set forth meet your approbation, the best thing to do would be to transmit a notice thereof to the cotton manufactur ing firms, in order that they may appoint an agent with whom the necessary stipulations on both side may be discussed, and a definitive understanding come to in the matter. 2d Shaban, 1277 (Feb. 11, 1861).

If cents, we cannot help expressing our unfeigned the axiom be true that desperate men often do great . :egret that from such a man such a speech things, we must be on our guard, for Austria is should have proceeded. Our regret is increased going through a terrible crisis." ny a consideration of the circumstances which which have led to these new opinions and these very deeided utterances. Some time ago it was announced that Mr. Roebuck was negotiat brig a steam : packet contract at Vienna. He was in company with Mr. Lever, the chairman of the Galway Steam Packet Company, whose offer to convey the mails to North America was accepted by Lord Derby's Government under not very creditable circumstances. As everybody knows, Mr. Roebuck was a director of the same company, and defended r contract which other people thought savoured rather of a political job and was at the best an extravagant and unnecessary expenditure of public money. On this occasion there was an unmis takeable feeling in Sheffield, as elsewhere, that Ar. Roebuck's public usefulness was likely to be impaired by a connexion with speculative undertakings pushed forward, as was shown, with )ut much regard for the instruments and the means which were used. It was felt that his Parliamentary advocacy of the Galway con t rac t could not but be tinged by personal considerations And private interests ; and there was a shrewd suspicion that had he never known Mr. Lever, and. never been been feted in Galway, and never sat at the Galway Board, there would have been in the House of Commons no more unsparing opponent of the Galway contract than John Arthur Roebuck. We are afraid that in now standing up for Austrian rule in Venetia he lays himself open to the same charges, or, at all events, to the same suspi cions. He went to Vienna to ask a favour. Whether he has returned " with a lucrative contract in his pocket" we don't know, but some commercial con cession has been obtained from the Austrian Go vernment through his representalions. On their .ide the Austrian Government have gained. a con vert. Of course, they were glad enough to get hold of so promising a subject. They would have been thankful even of an ordinary mem ber of Parliament; but they must have jumped at the chance of influencing a blunt outspoken patriot, who till now has always been on the people's side. How has this influence been ex erted ? We need not go far for an answer to the question. Any coarser agency would have signally failed. But we know bow easily a man often yields his opinions to one from whom he expects or has received a favour. The advocate opens his brief, reads his case, and convinces himself that his client has been ill-used. Smith, who is under obligations to Jones, hears with favour the grievance of a friend in need, and in his behalf is prepared to back up even a doubtful quarrel. Brown, who gives good dinners and unexceptionable port, pours his sor rows into the ears of Robinson over their dessert, and in turn receives comfort, counsel, and sup port. Who does not listen with a bias to the statements and complaints of a hospitable host, a firm friend, of the client whose fee clinks in his hand, of the man who has been or may become a good ens - tomer ? It is human nature. We have no right to censure Mr. Roebuck for being simply like other people. But, as his constituentr., we have a clear right to c om pl a i n th a t h e 'slated himself voluntarily in a position where t e became suscep tible of an illegitimate bias in favour of a bad cause. For a member of Parliament to travel in search of information is laudable, but that 11E4 not the pri mary object of our representative. He was in search of pecuniary gain on behalf of a private com pany, and it is understood That his mission has proved successful. Incidentally he acquired from partial sources information upon which certain new and startling opinions are founded—opinions which were sure to receive a colour from his sup pliant attitude at Vienna, and which are diametri cally opposed to the convictions of his constituents. if Mr. Roebuck has been just to himself in all this, , has he been just to Sheffield ? We think not. rile motives which guide a public man in his adve;cael of public measures should be not only are, but above suspicion. Is that the case here ? It is not, cannot be.-- , Sheffield Telegraph. POLAND. POSEN, SATURDAY. The Imperial rescript has produced a most dis icouraging impression at Warsaw. The delegation of citizens has resolved upon placing their resignation in the hands of the people, and to request from the Governor the constitution of a new delegation by means of a general election.
