THE BAST INDIA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship I n d u s, Captain J. Weeks, arrived at South ampton at 5 p.m. yesterday, with the heavy portion of these mails. She left Alexandria on the sth inst., Malta on the 9th, and Gibraltar on the 14th. In the Mediterranean she experienced light easterly breezes and tine weather; from Gibraltar to Cape Finisterre, moderate northerly breezes and fine weather; across the bay, strong easterly breezes end head sea; and up Channel, strong easterly - winds, and fi ne, clear weather. At 3 30 p.m. on the Bth inst. the Indus passed the Massilia steamer, from Malta for Alexandria; at 9 a.m. on the 11th, the Pera steamer, hence for Malta and Alexandria; on the 15th, at 5 55 p.m., the Ellora steamer, also bound hence for Malta and Alexandria ; on the 15th, at r, 30 p.m., the ship Laconia, steering south ; and on the 18th, at 1 30 p.m., the steamer Milan, steering south-west. The Indus brought 148 passengers (viz., 79 first class, 29 children, 12 second-class, 15 servants, and 13 deck), among whom were :—From Calcutta—Sir John and Lady Hcarsey and family. From Madras —Major-Gen. Campbell. From Sydney—Sir John, Lady, and Miss Dickenson. From Hongkong — Lieut.-Col. Wolsey and Capt. the Hon. B. Hamil ton. From Malta—Major Balfour and Captain Macnamara, R.M.A. From Gibraltar—Col. and Miss Lacy. His Highness Mustapha Pacha and suite were passengers in the Indus from Alexandria to Malta, en route for Naples, and previous to leaving the ship the Pasha presented Captain Weeks with a valuable diamond ring, in testimony of his appre ciation of the attention that had been paid him by the captain and his officers. The freight of the Indus consisted of £2,887 in ' specie, 985 bales and 170 cases of silk, 28 cases of valuables, 19 casks of wine, and 54 packages of general merchandise. At Alexandria were the usual Egyptian fleet, and the French paddle steamers Raquen, Asmodie, Eldorado, and screw transport Mayence. Her Majesty's ship Mohawk left Malta on the morning of the 9th inst. for Corfu. The St. Jean d'Acre, Liffey, Lapwing, Racoon, and Alacrity were at Malta when the Indus left. The Neptune was cruising off the port, having a few light cases of fever. Her Majesty's ship Argus, Procris, and Cockatrice were at Gibraltar on the 14th. The screw frigate Immortalite left Palma (Majorca) on the morning of the 6th, and returned to Gibraltar on the evening of the 11th. She left for Plymouth, in accordance with telegraph orders, at noon on the 13th. The Empress of Austria, in the Royal yacht Vic toria and Albert, Capt. the Hon, J. Denman, arrived at Gibraltar at 11 o'clock a.m. on the 7th inst. from Cadiz, and was received on the yacht anchoring by a Royal salute from the saluting battery. His Ex cellency the Governor, accompanied by part of his staff, visited her Majesty on board immediately after arrival. At 2 o'clock her Majesty landed at the Ragged Staff' under salutes from the guns of the fortress, and was received at the Convent by a guard of honour furnished by the ith Royal Fusiliers. The steam yacht Osborne, Commander Bower,which anchored in the bay at 3 15 a.m., brought the suite of the Empress. The Empress, after landing, was received at the Convent by Lady Codrington, and shortly afterwards attended the celebration of a Te Deum at the Roman Catholic Church. Her Majesty then, accompanied by Lady Codrington, drove round the works and inspected part of the excavations, returning to the yacht before sunset. His Excel lency th© Governor and Capt. Hood, Aide-de-Camp, the senior naval officer, and the Austrian Consul, had the honour of receiving invitations to join the Royal circle at dinner on board the yacht. During dinner the band of the 25th Regiment took its sta tion at the New Mole quay, and performed a selec tion of pieces. Next morning her Majesty took her departure in the Victoria and Albert at half past 10 o'clock. On the Royal yacht leaving the bay Elliot's, Woodford's, and Europa batteries saluted in succession as the yacht passed on rounding Europa point. When the Victoria and Albert left her anchorage the steam sloop Argus, Commander Ingram, saluted her Imperial Majesty with a Royal salute, and as the Royal yacht neared the Portuguese steam corvette Bartho lomeo Dias, Captain his Royal Highness the In fante Dorn Luiz, this vessel fired another salute, both ships manning yards at the time. The paddle wheel steam yacht Osborne, Commander Bower, left they bay for the eastward during the night. By a Spanish Royal decree, dated the 6th inst., it is ordered that all the vessels that are to assemble at Algesiras shall form a squadron for the purpose of exercising the sailors and marines and attend to the service of the African possessions. Admiral Don Luis Hernandez Pinzon is appointed to com mand this naval division. The vessels which are to compose this squadron are,—The liner Reina Isabel 11., frigate Concepcion and Cortes, corvettes Villa de Bilboa and Ferrolana, screw and paddle steamers Isabel 11., Vasco Nunez de Balboa, lilloa, Colon, Lepanto, Vulcaao, Liniers, Alerta, Circe, Santa Teresa, Edetana, Buenaventura, Consuelo, San Quintin, Patino, and Marques de la Victoria. A telegram from Cadiz of the evening of the ith, received in Madrid, says : " In conformity to the orders received from Go vernment, all the disposable men-of-war in this bay have received orders to join the squadron forming at Algesiras without loss of time." " The last accounts from Tangier," says the Con stitucional, " State that the interviews between the represen tative of Spain and Muley-el-Abbas have been very frequent lately, owing to the dalay in the arrival of money from Fez. It is possible that Government had deemed it expedient to assemble naval forces on the African coasts, in order to show that Spain possesses the necessary means for the defence of her highest interests." The Epoca believes that " The Emperor of Morocco has already collected 50,000,000 out of the 90,000,000 reals which he is bound to deliver to Spain in the course of the month of May; but that if, having the power to do so, he does not comply with his solemn engage ments, our country, besides the guarantees it already holds, will take all others it may deem necessary for the complete satisfactien of its interests." Letters from Tangier mention the arrival in the province of a new Basha, Kaid Kern, one of the chiefs or generals of the Bokharry Cavalry, or body guard of the Sultan. It was said that after the de parture of the small force which the Viceroy had stationed for some tine at Garbeen the tribes of Wadras and Bem-Arros had refused to pay taxes, and had shown a spirit of insubordination, and that the new Basha was accompanied by a detachment of cavalry (about 500) for the purpose of bringing the unruly tribes to order and enforcing the Sultan's authority. jjadi Hauled She oelec B en A b del Malek had been appointed Lieut.-Governo r of Tangier. He is the son of the late Governor, and w as one of the Moorish envoys sent to Madrid. Royal salutes were fired on the 13th inst., at 5 a.rn. at noon, and at sunset, from the batteries at Algeciras and by the squadron in the roadstead in honou r of the birthday of the King Consort of Spain. The Spanish Infanta Dona Concepcion was consi dered in a convalescent state, though not out of danger. Chevalier Etienne Scovasso, lately diplomatic agent and Consul-General of Italy in the empire of Morocco, left Gibraltar on the sth inst. in the Bri tish steamship lonia, via G'anoa, for his new post in a similar capacity at Belgrade, Turkey. The Spanish sailing corvette Villa de Bilbao, 30 guns, Capt. F. Gornez de Quevedo, arrived at Cadiz on the Bth, and the French war steamer Coligny, Commander Serre, which had put in there from Mogadore, sailed for the eastward on the same day. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Pera, from Southampton on the 4th instant, arrived at Gibraltar on the 9th at 9 p.m., and pro ceeded up the Mediterranean at 8.30 a.m. the next day. The merchant steamer Apostol, while on her pas sage from Cadiz to Vigo, encountered a severe storm, during which she had her screw propeller broken) and was in the act of proceeding to Oporto when she went ashore. The Madrid journals of the 9th announce that the British brig Commodore has been wrecked at the mouth of the river Cuevas (Almeria) ; crew saved. The Condor, of 285 tons, Albert master, laden with coal from Sunderland, struck on a reef to the east of the quay at Barcelona, at 2 a.m., on the sth. The crew were saved, as well as part of the cargo, and hopes were entertained for the recovery of the re mainder. The screw steamer Meander, Captain 'l'. Leslie, which arrived at Gibraltar on the 12th from Alex andria and Malta, fell in with a waterlogged dere lict vessel in lat. 36.54 N., long. 1.10 E., but her name and description could not be ascertained. The Meander spoke the bark Rose of Sharon, off Cape de Gatte. THE NA P Y. Admiralty orders were on Saturday received at Chatham directing the 91-gun screw steamer Royal Oak, now building at that establishment, to be completed as a 51-gun screw frigate, and to be clad with shot-proof iron armour plates, similar to those used in the construction of the Warrior and Achilles, iron steamers. The screw gunboat Louisa, 2, tender to the Edin burgh, 60, screwsteamer, at Leith, is completed by the dockyard departments at Chatham, and on Saturday was placed alongside the dockyard to re ceive her supply of coals on board, preparatory to proceeding to the Firth of Forth to join the Edin burgh. The Herald, surveying frigate, Capt. Henry M. Denham, F.R.S,, sailed from Spithead at noon on Saturday, for Chatham, to strip and pay off. Capt. S. Osborn, C. 8., took command of the Done gal, 101, screw, at Spithead, on Saturday, Capt. H. Broadhead, lately commanding the Donegal, being appointed to the command of the steam reserve at Portsmouth, vice Capt. G. T. Gordon, superseded at his own request on account of continued ill-health. The Henrietta, brig, arrived at Spithead on Sa turday, with convicts, whose term of service has nearly expired, from Bermuda. The screw steam frigate 4riadne, IG, Capt. Van sittart, from Gibraltar, May 6, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday afternoon. On Friday night, off Scilly, in a heavy squall from the eastward, she lost her maintopgallant mast, and then got up steam. The gunboat Steady is ordered to be put in com mission at Plymouth, with a complement of 60 men. The Powerful, No. 16, screw transport, Captain Richards, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from China, with invalids, passengers, and military stores. On the 2d of March the Powerful fell in with a violent hurricane, which lasted two days, and continued of the same violent character through out. The Powerful being on the outer edge of the hurricane, Capt. Richards kept her before it, and thus escaped with but little damage. H.M.S. Esk, Capt. Sir R. M'Clure, which, on the Powerful's ar riving at the Mauritius, was found at anchor, had been caught more in the centre of the same hurri cane, and had consequently suffered more severely The Esk was on her way home to England. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—G. Parker, naval cadet, to the Melpomene; E. C. Baker, master's assistant, to the Cygnet; D. M. Browne, master's assistant, to the Steady. TILE ARMY. Major-General H. Eyre visited Sheerness on Saturday, for the purpose of making the half-yearly inspection of the depot brigade of Royal Artillery at that garrison. He expressed the satisfaction he experienced in witnessing the improvement which both officers and men had made in their drill since the time of his last official visit. They were still far from being perfect, but he had no doubt, judging from the great improvement made during the last six months, that on the occasion of the next inspec tion they would be equal to any of the batteries or depot brigades of artillery. Gen. Eyre witnessed some excellent shot and shell practice from the platform battery with the 68-pounder and 10-inch guns, under the direction of Lieut.-Col. Talbot. The 100-pounder Armstrong guns which are ordered to be supplied for the forts and batteries in the Chatham district will be mounted, in the first instance, on the most prominent points of the sea defence line of fortifications at the entrance to the Medway, in positions commanding the vulnerable approaches to that river. The whole of the 68- pounder and 10 inch guns now mounted viz the Martello tower erected out in the estuary of the Medway, opposite the Isle of Grain are to be re moved, and their places supplied with the long range Armstrong guns. The detachment of Royal Artillery, under the command of Lieut. Thurlow, have dismounted the whole of the heavy armament at the batteries at Coalhouse Point and Shornmeade, near Gravesend, as a preliminary to the partial dismantling of those buildings in order to their being recon structed on a much larger scale. The large stores of ammunition and shell formerly stored in the bat teries have been removed to Purfleet, the powder being deposited in the floating magazines and the shot and shell piled in suitable places at the rear of the land magazines. The 26th (Cameronians), under the command of Lieut.-Col. Carey, were inspected in Holyrood Park on Tuesday by Major-Gen. Walker, ou occa sion of the arrival of the regiment at Edinburgh from Dublin. The regiment appeared in excellent condition, and went through field movements with great precision. The 3d Royal Surrey Militia, who mustered up wards of 700, were inspected on the 17th inst. by Col. D. Lysons, C. 8., assistant-adjutant-general, who complimented them highly for their efficiency. The sth West York Militia, numbering 440 men, have just completed their annual training at Knares borough, under the command of Col. Kaye. Before the regiment was dismissed it was presented with a set of regimental colours by Mrs. Lister Kaye. Major-Gen. Crawfurd inspected the 3d Royal Middlesex Militia, 600 strong, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Glossop, on Wednesday, the 15th inst., when he expressed himself highly satisfied with the appearance of the men. The 2d West York Militia (Light Infantry) a corps 650 strong, have just completed their annual train ing at York, under the command of Col, Smythe, M.P. They were reviewed by Major-Gen, Lord W. Paulet, who complimented them highly on their efficiency. The 6th West York Militia, 500 strong, have just finished their annual training at Halifax. They were reviewed by Col. Campbell, C. 8., who ex pressed himself highly satisfied with the discipline and military operations of both the men and their officers. The Ist division of the Highland Rifle Militia, composed of two companies (the Wester Ross and Sutherland) under the command of Major M'Leay, was inspected on the 10th inst. at Fort George, by Col. Gordon, C.B. Col. Gordon expressed his satis faction with the efficiency of the troops, and especi ally with the progress which had been made by the recruits, who after only 20 days' service were able to march past and manoeuvre with the rest of the division, both in battalion and light drill. He com mended the thorough knowledge of drill shown by the company officers, and was particularly struck with the precision with which the bayonet exercise had been executed. The number of Volunteers pre sent was 151 rank and file. There were only 12 absentees; and when it is considered that the no tices to attend were only issued 10 days previous to the day of assembly, that many of the volunteers live in remote districts o the effectivewasstroennlgythoff, go south the oo wes tfdoronew . c o o r a k s l t , ,n and t the he n ra sidered a mthuasttersome must o b f e t C h o c Sutherland company , which is 88 rank and file, there absentee. There was not a single casekinl drunkenness, and no irregularity of any occurred, with the exception of a case of assault of a very trivial nature. The 2d division E and F (Caithness) Companies assemble for training at Fort George on the 27th inst. THE PUBLIC RECORDS.—Sir F. Palgras p , the Deputy -keeper of the Public Records, states in his report for 1660 that in the course of the year upwards of 13,000 docu ments in his custody were inspected, by literary inquirers, in addition to the papers consulted by business applicants. A body of historical matter of the highest importance, which formally was virivally inaccessible to the public at large, is now freely opened to every individual interested in the religious, political or social, biographical, or sAthetical history Of the realm or its depgadencies. 2,lrE licryqA.RlAN CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. VIENNA, MAY 24. i n `be morning of yesterday M. DeAakt ascendedlloei°c k the ein the Hungarian Cham ber of Depu tie s, and made 6 speech which was lis tened to with breathless attention, although it was of great lengot. A day or two before the speech was delivered M. 11,eak made somealterations in it, so that an analysis of it, which three days ago ap peared in a Paris paper, cannot be quite correct. The speech, which °envies nine closely printed columns of the Vienna Wa7.4erer, is in '...uhetance as follows :-- "In former times the disputes bet%ceen the Sove reign and the Hungarian nation arose frt.'s the two parties giving different interpretations to laws the validity of which was recognised by bot:2.- At present the Austrian Government is trying to force Hungary to accept a promulgated (oetroirt) Constitution in lieu of those fundamental laws to which she is so warmly attached. On the side of Hungary are right and justice; on the other side is physical force (nzaterielle gewalt). Such being the state of things, both firmness and circumspec tion are necessary. Should the Hungarian Diet yield in matters of vital importance it would be guilty of treason to the nation • should it run unne iussary risks it would be equally culpable. What form must the first address of the Hun n.aLian Diet have, and what must it contain? There are three questions to be replied to. The first is, What shall the Diet say ?' The second, 'To w h om shall it say what is to be said ?' The third, 1 In what ..form shall the result of its deliberations be made known ?' I move that we reply as follows to the first question :—' During the last 12 years we have suffere.4 grievous wrongs. The Constitution which we inherited from our forefathers was taken from us ; we we're governed absolutely, and patriot ism was consider... -.d a crime. Suddenly his Majesty resolved to enter Ole path of constitutionalism, and the diploma of Oct. 20, 1860, appeared. The docu ment encroached on our constitutional independence, inasmuch as it transferred to a foreign assembly (the Reichsrath) the right to grant the supplies of money and men, and made the Hungarian Govern ment dependent on the Austrian, which is not re sponsible for its acts. if Hungary accepted the diploma of Oct. 20 she would cease to be herself ; she, to all intents and purposes, would be an Austrian province. The present policy of the Austrian Go vernment is a direct violation of the Pragmatic Sanction—the fundamental treaty (Grundvertrag), which the Hungarian nation in 1723 concluded with the reigning family. [Here M. Deak quotes docu ments which prove that the Hungarian nation gave to the female line of the Hapsburgs the right to reign in Hungary, on condition that the future Sovereigns of that line should govern according to the existing laws of the country or according to the laws which might in future be made.] The Emperor Joseph IL, who was never crowned in Hungary, governed the kingdom absolutely; but its inhabi tants never recognised him as their lawful Sove reign. Maria Theresa was the first 'King' who in virtue of the Pragmatic Sanction ascended the throne of Hungary, and she faithfully fulfilled all the conditions of that bilateral treaty, Leopold 11., the second Hungarian King, who ascended the throne on the death of Joseph 11. (who reigned without being crowned) signed an inaugural diploma took the usual coronation oath, and, besides, sanc tioned the 10th Article of the laws of 1790, which guarantees to Htingary all her constitutional rights and privileges. (The law is quoted.) Francis 1., in his inaugural diploma, guaranteed the maintenance of the rights, liberties and laws of the nation, and in the 33d year of his reign (1825) he solemnly re cognised the validity of the abovementioned 10th Article, of the laws of 1790, King Ferdinand V. (i.be ex-Emperor Ferdinand I. of Austria) gave similar guarantees in his inaugural diploma, and besides sanctioned the laws of 1848. By the Prag matic Sanction Hungary and Austria are united in the ' person' of the Sovereign, but there is no trace in any of our laws of a real' union between the two countries. The male line of the Hapsburgs was extinct in 1740 (Charles 111. died in that year), and Hungary would have been at liberty to elect her own King had not the Pragmatic Sanction been concluded in 1723. Hungary is not a member of the German Diet, because she has never been an integral part of the Austrian empire.* We must therefore, solemnly declare that we insist on the restoration of our constitutional independence and self-government, which we consider the fundamental principles of our national existence. We can on no account allow the right to vote the supplies of money and men to be taken from us. We will not make laws for other countries, and will share our right to legislate for Hungary with no one but the King. We will neither send deputies to the pre sent Reichsrath, nor take any share in the repre sentation of the empire.' " The Hungarian Diet must be completed by mcana of the rcpresentativFla of Crnntia, Slavonia, the Military Frontiers, Fiume, and Transylvania. Until those countries are properly represented the Hungarian Diet will be incomplete, and can neither legislate nor enter into negotiations for the coronation, (Here M. Deak states that Hungary is ready and willing to treat with Croatia, a coun try which is allied but was never incorporated' with Hungary.) " The laws of 1848, which were sanctioned by the King, have been set aside. We have neither a Parliamentary Government nor a responsible Min istry. Our press laws, with trial by jury, have never been restored. In direct opposition to our laws taxes have been imposed with absolute power, ' and those unlawfully imposed taxes are now levied by force of arms.' We must, in as far as Hungary is concerned, protest against the form of the Act of Abdication of his Majesty Ferdinand V. On the 2d of December, 1848, he abdicated as Emperor of Austria. Hungary is not a province of Austria, and, in order that the rights of the country may be properly secured, his Majesty must be petitioned to inform the Diet that he on that day in question renounced all claim to the throne of Hungary.' The Archduke Francis Charles must also be re quested to declare that he has renounced all claim to the throne in question. Many of our fellow countrymen are still in exile, and many others are pining in dungeons. Until the former are allowed to return to their homes and the latter are set at liberty, we can have no confidence in the assertion that the absolute system has been done away with and Constitutionalism introduced in its stead. By the coronation the Emperor will become the lawful King of Hungary, but that solemn act can not take place until certain legal conditions have been fulfilled. These conditions are--that Hungary must have back her constitutional independence and her territorial and political integrity. The Diet must be completed, the fundamental laws restored, the Parliamentary Government and the Hungarian responsible Ministry reintegrated, and all the con sequences of the absolute system done away with. " To whom must the Diet address language like the foregoing 9—To the Emperor Francis Joseph, who convoked the Diet and de facto has sovereign powers in Hungary. " In what form shall the result of the delibera tions of the Diet be made knoqn ?—ln the form of an address rather than of a resolution, because no resolves of the Diet can have legal force until they have been sanctioned by the Emperor. A manifesto would be even less expedient than a resolution, as it would make an amicable understanding almost impossible." _ The foregoing analysis of M. Deak's speech will enable you to form a correct idea of the feeling of the Hungarian nation towards Austria. Deak is the temperate leader of the most moderate party in Hungary, and unpopular with the Ultra-Radicals, because he professes to love Hungary more than he hates her enemies. While delivering his speech Beak was not interrupted by cheers, but at the con clusion of each of its three divisions there was a perfect tempest of applause. M. von Nyary, who is one of the leaders of the party to which poor Teleki belonged, made objections to Deak's propo sitions, but very little attention was paid to what he said. The debate on Deak's motion will begin on Thursday, the 16th inst. In the evening of the 12th inst. there was a very serious disturbance at Raab, a town about halfway between Vienna and Buda. Four desertors belonging to the newly formed volunteer regiment of Hussars were taken to R2ab, and the inhabitants of the place made a violent attempt to liberate i•hem from their prison. The sentries being attacked called for assistance, which was speedily given. A conflict ensued, during which several soldiers were wounded and two or three killed. The whole garrison was then called out, and several volleys were fired into the very midst of the crowd. The Austrians at Raab appear to have imitated the example given by the Russian at Warsaw. The fight lasted from half-past 9 in the evening till 12 at night, and there is reason to fear that many of the people were either killed c'r wounded. Early in the morning of the 13th ( Yesterday) the four deserters were escorted to t :e railw a y station by two companies of soldiers, aad sent to this city. It is reported that a whole sqUatiron of volunteer Hussars has deserted from Formerly the Austrian Government continually spoke of the " Erlander" (hereditary German provinces), but s ine () an attempt has been made to incorporate litillgarY t,he eNprvsicil has foyer been officially used. their quarters in Moravia; but the news requires confirmation. The Vienna Telegraphic Correspon dence Bureau, which is under official superinten dence, told us that Lord John Russell had de Glared in the House of Commons that the Hingarians demanded the restoration of institutions which were " veraltet" (out of date) ; but on look ing at the speech, which his Lordship made on the 10th inst. in reply to Mr. Peacocke, I find that he employed the word " ancient." In the Austrian Chamber of Deputies yesterday the principal question was that of the revision of the promulgated rules of order. M. von Plener gave some explanations on financial matters, and spoke with great fluency and ease. Dr. Giskra (Brunn) is a first-rate orator, and his voice is very like that of the Chancellor of the British Exchequer. He speaks quite as fluently as that right hon. gentle ma:'; and is never monotonous. The Galicians and Czechs were so dissatisfied with the resuit of the debate on the Address that they thought of return ing to their homes; but, fortunately for Austria, they are still here. The Chamber of Deputies pre sented its Address to the Emperor at two o'clock this afternoon. The rate of exchange on London has fallen to 138.20. MAY 16. At half-past one o'clock yesterday afternoon the members of the Austrian Chamber of Deputies* re paired to the Imperial Palace in order to present their Address to the Emperor. The President of the House having read the Address, his Majesty opened a sheet of paper which he had in his hand when he entered the throne-room, and read from it the following reply : " The cause of the appearance of the Chamber of Deputies here is very pleasing to me. The Ad dress presented is of greater value, as it is a mani festation of the loyalty and patriotism of the elect of my people. lam convinced that the patriotic sentiments to which you have unanimously' (ein muthig) given expression are entertained by the in habitants of all my kingdoms and countries. The representatives of my peoples cannot well fail to come to an understanding, if they ' temperately' (masvoll) aim at establishing the wolth.ing of the whole (empire) on the prosperity of its several parts. I look forward with confidence to a happy result to y our labours, and with the blessing of Heaven it will not be wanting. " Accept my thanks, and count on my Imperial grace and favour." In the foregoing short speech are two passages which are calculated to produce an erroneous impres- sion abroad. Forty-eight members of the Lower Chamber declined to vote either for or against the Address, and the representatives of Galicia on Mon day last expressly stated that if they made their appearance when it was presented to the Emperor it would only be to show their loyalty. The word " unanimously" is, therefore, incorrectly used. On Saturday, the 11th inst., the discussion was so in temperate that it produced a most disagreeable im pression on the public. In high official circles it is believed that the Emperor would have been better pleased with the Address if it had received one or two of the alterations proposed by the non-German members of the Lower Chamber. The draught of the Bill relative to the irresponsibility and in violability of the members of the Reichsrath and Provincial Diets is as follows : " 1. The members of the Reichsrath and Provin cial Diets can never be called to account for the way in which they vote. For the opinions to which they may give expression they are only responsi ble to the House on the basis of the rules of order' (auf Grund der Geschaftsordnung). " 2. No member of the Reichsrath or of the Pro vincial Diets can, during the Session, be arrested for a punishable offence without the concurrence of the House, unless he be taken in the very act, or unless the purposes of justice would be defeated by his being left at large. If a member of either of the Houses is taken in flagrante, and arrested, in formation of what has occurred must immediately be given to its President." The Bill is not likely to pass the Lower House as it now stands, for almost all its members will object to the passage which is italicised in the second paragraph, because it leaves an opening for invidi ous and arbitrary proceedings on the part of the Imperial authorities. The Upper Chamber has ad journed until the end of the month, and the Lower Chamber until Monday, the 27th inst. The sole topic of conversation is M. Beak's speech which has prodneed a most riicogrnoahlo impression on the German inhabitants of the empire, as they see by it that they will long have to bear more than their due share of the burdens of the State. Should the Address be in the sense of the speech of the renowned statesman and jurisconsult, a very ener getic Royal Rescript will be sent to the Hungarian Diet. Should that be of no avail, the Diet will be dissolved, and an attempt made to obtain Hun garian members for the Austrian Reichsrath by means of direct elections. The Hungarians are fully prepared for this, and appear to be resolved not to send a single deputy to Vienna. It is, how ever, possible that the Government may be able to persuade the Slovacks (a Slavic race) in the western part of Upper Hungary to elect some representa tives, as they were very docile and serviceable when Count Leo Thun, the ex-Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs, wanted to bring about a schism in the Pro testant Church in Hungary. The refusal of the Hun garians to have anything to do with the Austrian Reichsrath is the more annoying to the Imperial Government because the "engerer" (more confined) Reichsrath is not competent in matters which con cern the empire at large. The Minister of Finances is in great need of money, and the stubbornness of the Hungarians is said to disturb his rest. The Wiener Zeitung of to-day has a long article on the present forcible levy of taxes in Hungary, but it needs no particular notice. The sense of the thing is that, as the inhabitants of Hungary will not voluntarily pay what they owe to the State, they must be made to do so, and at the same time to defray the expenses of the military tax-gatherers. The Croatians are also greatly in arrear with their taxes, but they ale so very poor that they could not pay them if they would. The Viennese be lieve that the Croato-Slavonian Diet will send de puties to the Austrian Reichsrath, because the Em peror has promised to allow the inhabitants of the military districts to send representatives to Agram ; but they deceive themselves. The South Slaves feel no sympathy for Austria, and are by no means likely to be so " gullible" as they were in 1848 and 1849. The negotiations between the Croatian and Dalmatian deputations, which are now hero, failed because the Dalmatians declared that they would not agree to a union between their native country and Croatia " until the latter was united to Hun gary." Lieutenant-General Baron von Mertens, who presided at the conference between the two deputations, asked the Dalmatians if they would vote for the union of their native country with Croatia if the latter was united with Hungary, and they one and all candidly avowed that they would not. A feeling of hostility to the Hungarians has arisen in the Servian Voivodina, and it is attributed to the instrumentality of Major-General von Stratimirovich, who has very great influence with his fellow-countrymen. - 1 ' About 160 deputies were present.

The American Administration seem determined to place in commission every available vessel in the serviet as quickly as possible. Thursday the re moval of the housing from over the sailing frigate Potomac, which has been lying out in the stream for some time, was commenced. As soon as the R. R. Cuyler, which is now in the dry dock, is tak en out the Potomac will take her place, and after undergoing a thorough repair will be rigged, armed, and fitted for sea. She is the only remaining vessel of war in the Navy Yard the services of which can be rendered available. The Potomac is a 50 gun frigate, of 1,726 tons burthen ; and was built at Washington in the year 1821. The other vessels of war remain in the yard, and the work on them is going on as briskly as ever, with the exception of the Wabash, which is com pleted. The two smart little propellers, the Re sistance and the Reliance, which had been lying out in the stream, were placed alongside the wharf yesterday. Each is to be armed with a six and a twelve-pounder. It is said that Captain William Budd, one of the Coast Survey, is to be placed in command of one.

Clay, United States Minister Pleni potentiary, &c., to St. Petersburg, in a letter to a contemporary says :—" Allow me your journal to make a few remarks upon the complications of the United States of America, which I am surprised to find so little understood this side of the Atlantic. 1. "What are we fighting for? " " We the peoplo of the 'United States of America," (to use the language of our Constitation), are fighting to main tain our nationality, and the principles of liberty upon which it was founded,—that nationality which Great Britain has pledged herself, both by past comity and the sacred obligations of treaty, to respect ; those great principles of liberty, that all power is derived from the consent of the governed ; trial by jury, freedom of speech and the press ; that " without law there is no liberty" —which we inherited from Great Britain herself, and which having been found to lie at the base of all progress and civilization, we desire to per petuate for ourselves and the future of all the nations. The so-called " Confederate States of America" rebel against us—ag ainst our nationality, 1 and against all the principes of its structure. Citizens of the United States—of the one Govern ment (not of Confederated States, as they would have the world believe—but of " us the people"), they propose, not by common legal consent, but by arms, to sever our nation into separate indepen dencies. Claiming to " be let alone," they con spire against us ; seize by force our forts, stores, and arms ; appropriate to themselves our mints, moneys, and vessels at sea; capture our armies, and threaten even the capital at Washington ! The word " secession" is used to cover up treason and delude the nations. They stand to us in the relation of one " people," the idea of " State sove reignty" is utterly delusive. We gave up the old ~ Confederation" to avoid just such complications as have now occurred. The States are by our Con stitution deprived of all the rights of independent sovereigns, and the National Government acts not through State organisations, but directly upon the citizens of the States themselves—to that highest of power, the right of life and death. The States cannot keep an army, or navy, or even repel inva sion, except when necessity will not allow time for national action; can make no treaty, nor coin money, nor exercise any of the first great essential powers of "sovereignty." In a word, they can no more " secede" from the Union than Scotland or Ireland can secede from England. The professed friends of the independence of nations and popular rights, they have not only over thrown the Constitution of the United States, but the Constitutions of the " Confederate States" them selves, refusing in every ease to refer their new usurpations to the votes of the people, thus making themselves doubly traitors to both the States and the nation. The despotic rulers over 4,000,000 of enslaved Africans, they presume to extend over us, the white races of all nations, the same despotism, by ignoring the political rights of all but their own class, by restrictions upon the popular franchise, by the suppression of the freedom of speech and of the press, by the terrorism of " Lynch law," or tyranni cal enactments, backed by standing armies, to crush out the independence of thought, the ineradicable instincts of our world-wide humanity—with the atrocious dogma that negro slavery is the only basis of real conservatism and progressive eivilisa• tion, and that the true solution of the contest of all time between labour and capital is that capital should own the labourer, whether white or black. The 'access of such demands would send the tide of barbarism not only over the millions of the New World and the isles of the Western oceans, but roll it back over England and emancipated Europe, and blot out from history this, the greatest glory of our times. 2. "But can you subdue the revolted States?" Of course we can. The whole seven revolted States (2,173,000) have not as much white population as the single State of New York (3,851,563) by 1,500,000 people. If all the Stave States were to make common cause, they have only 8,997,894 whites, with 4,000,000 slaves, while the Union has about 20,000,000 of homogeneous people, as power fullin peace and war as the world has seen. Intel ligent, hardy, and " many sided," their late appa rent lethargy and weakness was the self-possession of conscious strength. When they had made up their minds that force was necessary, they moved upon Washington with such speed, numbers, and steadiness as is not surpassed in history. We have the money (at a lower rate of interest than ever before), the men, and the command of the seas, and the internal waters. We can blockade them by sea, and invade them by land, and close up the rebel lion in a single year, if we are " let alone." For the population of th e Slave States is divided perhaps equally for and against the Union, the loyal citi zens being for the time overawed by the organised conspiracy of the traitors, while the North is united to a man, the late allies of the South, the Democra tic party, being now more earnes t for the su tuga. tion of the rebels than the Republicans. 3 . "But can you govern a , subjugated' people and reconstruct the Union ?" W e do not propose to “subjugate " the revolted States—we p ro pago I to put down simply the robel citizens. We go to the rescue of the loyal Unionists of all the States. We carry safety, and peace, and liberty to the Union-loving people of the South, who will of themselves (the tyranny overthrown) send back their representatives to Congress, and the Union will be " reconstructed" without a change of a letter in the constitution of the United States. Did England subjugate Ireland and Scotland ? Are the united kingdoms less homogeneous than of old, before the wars against rebellion ? So will the United States rise from the smoke of battle with renewed stability and power. In turn, now let us ask the British public some questions. Z. Where should British honour place her in this contest ? We overthrow that political element in America which has all through our history been the studied denouncer and real hater of the British nation, while we have been always from the be ginning the friends of England. Because, though under different forms of Government, we had com mon sympathies, and a common cause, and therefore a common interest. England was the conservator of liberty in Europe —the old world ; we in the new. If " the confederate States" are right, then is Eng land wrong. If slavery must be extended in America, then must England restore it in the West Indies, blot out the most glurious page of her his tory, and call back her freed men into chains ! Let her say to the martyrs of freedom from all the nations who have sought refuge and a magnani mous defence on her shores :—Return to your scaffolds and your prison house; England is no more England! Let the Times cease to appeal longer to the enlightened opinion of the world; nay, let the statues of the great dead through which I passed in reverence yesterday to the Houses of her political intelligence be thrown from their pedestals, when England shall forget the utteran ces of her Chathams, her Wilberforces, and her Broughams,—that natural justice is the only safe diplomacy and lasting foundation of the indepen dence of nations. 2. What is the interest of England now ? If we may descend to such inferior appeals, it is clearly the interest of England to stand by the Union of the States. We are her best consumer ; no tariff will materially affect that fact. We are the best custo mer of England, not because we are cotton-growers or cotton-spinners, agriculturists or manufacturers, but because we are producers and manufacturers, and have money to spend. It is not the South, as is urged, but the North who are the best consumers of English commerce. The free white labourers and capitalist does now, and always will, consume more than the white master and the slave. The Union and the expansion of the States and Republican policy make us the best market for England and Europe. Wbat has the world to gain —England, France, or any of the Powers to gain by reducing the United States to a Mexican civilisation? 3. Can England afford to offend the great nation which will still be "The United States of America" even should we lose part of the South ? Twenty millions of people to-day, with or without the slave States, in 20 years we will be 40,000,000! In an ther half century we will be one hundred millions ! We will rest upon the Potomac, and on the west banks of the Mississippi river, upon the Gulf of Mexico. Our railroads will run 4,000 miles upon a single parallel, binding our empire, which must master the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans ! Is Eng land so secure in the future against home revolt or foreign ambition as to venture, now in our need, to plant the seeds of revenge in all our future ? If Ireland, or Scotland, or Wales shall attempt to secede from that beneficent Government of the United Kingdom which now lightens their taxation and gives them security and respect at home and abroad, shall we enter into a piratical war with our race and ally, and capture and sell in our ports the property and endanger the lives of peaceable citizens of the British Empire all over the world ? I enter not into the discussion of details. England, then, our natural ally. Will she ignore our aspirations ? If she is just, she ought not. If she is honourable and magnanimous, she cannot. If she is wise, she will not. ROYAL MEDICAL BENEVOLENT COLLEGE. On Friday the anniversary festival of this insti tion, at which Lord Chelmsford presided, was held at Willis's Rooms. Among the company, about 200 in number, were Lord Dynevor, Admiral Bur ney, Archdeacon Robinson, Master of the Temple ; Mr. W. J. Thompson, Master of the Grocer's Com pany ; Sir Charles Locock, Mr. Henry Pownall, Mr. John Propert, Dr. James Bird, Dr. Babington, Dr. Sutherland, Dr. Conolly, Dr. Mouat, Mr. Alex ander Wood, Mr. Francis Webb, Mr. Chapman, Dr. Beamall, and the Rev. Dr. Thornton. The College, of which the Queen is the patron, and Lord Chelms ford has been recently elected president, was founded about nine years ago by members of the medical profession as an asylum for those of their brethren who, from ill-health, want of professional success, or other adverse influences, have sunk into poverty, and for the widows of medical men in re duced circumstances. With it is combined a school, devoted in part to the gratuitous education of or phans of medical men. The purposes are—first, to maintain an asylum for 100 pensioners, who must be duly qualified medical men, or their widows, not under 50 years of age, possessing incomes of not more than £6O a-year ; second to provide a school, in which a liberal education will be given to 200 boys, sons of duly qualified men, 40 of whom (the foundation scholars) will be educated, boarded, clothed, and maintained entirely at the expense of the institution, while the remainder will be charged at the lowest practicable rate ; and, third, to provide annuities, or occasional pecuniary assistance, to duly qualified medical men in distressed circumstances, or to their families, when they can be granted without detri ment to the asylum or school, which are regarded as the principal objects of the College. The insti tution, which is still in its infancy, was projected in 1851, and a suitable site having been obtained for it near Epsom Downs, it was opened in June, 1855, by the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, and was shortly afterwards occupied by the pensioners and scholars who had been elected. The portion of the building destined for the school wns in May last so far completed as to accommodate 150 boys, but only five pensioners' houses, containing 20 residences, had been then built. There are resi dent in the college 20 pensioners, being aged medi cal men or their widows, each of whom is provided with three comfortably-furnished rooms, an allow ance of coals, and a pension of £l5 a year; also 150 boys, sons of medical men, 40 of whom, being the foundation scholars, are educated and main tained at the expense of the institution. So far the boys educated in the school have acquitted themselves with credit in all the public examinations and competitions to which they have been sub jected. The College is possessed of funded property to the aggregate amount of about £4,450. A recent arrangement admitting ladies as life governors on payment of £5 ss. has resulted in the receipt of £2,300, her Majesty graciously heading the list with a donation of I:100. The annual subscriptions last year amounted to £3,150 odd, the donations to £1.428; and certain bequests to £540. includ ing £2OO on account of one by the late Mrs. Jane Humberston, and £250, the balance of £l,OOO, by the late Baroness Sternberg. Of a loan of £7,000 on mortgage, £6,000 has been paid off, leaving a balance of £l,OOO. The chairman, in the course of the evening related the history and circumstances of the institution, and earnestly commended it to the public support. The subscriptions in aid of its funds after the dinner amounted to about £l,OOO. To show the necessity for such an institution it may be stated that at the last election there were 11 unsuccessful candidates for pensionerships, and 31 unsuccessful competitors for foundation scholar ships.

A man, named Bentre, of Clere,went to that place and called at the house of a person of some property named Gallais, in whose service his wife was. Gallais was not at home, and the man went to him at a place where he was playing at bowls. On seeing him Gallais held out his hand, but the man without speaking a word stabbed him with a large knife in the ab domen so severely that his bowels protruded, and shortly after he died. Bentre, who had taken to flight, subse quently gave himself into the custody of the gendarmerie at Clere. He stated that the reason for the crime was that he suspected Gallais of having seduced his wife. BIRTHS.
