LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1861 In answer to a variety of questions—particu larly in reference to our Foreign Policy—Lord PALMERSTON spoke out last evening in the British House of Commons in a manner eminently worthy of himself, of his country, of his audience, and be it added also of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Govern ment. It used to be said of ono of the ablest Ad ministrators England has ever possessed—a states man happily still living, still a member of the House of Commons, but in spite of that already some time since virtually retired from public life, at any rate as an Administrator—it used to be said of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, that when an awkward ques tion was put while he - (Sir JAMES GRAHAM) was in Office as the Lieutenant and Fidus Achates of Sir RotERT during the existence of the PEEL Admini stration, the responsibility of reply was ever adroitly thrust upon the Baronet of Netherby. And this simply—because Sir JAMES GRAHAM could contrive, better than any other Minister of the Crown open the Treasury Bench, to rise in reply, to talk for any given time, with the utmost show of plausibility, with the most charming display of candour and frankness—resuming his seat amidst the plaudits of his hearers, amidst the applause even of his interrogators, without even having answered one syllable of the question actually put to him Sueh certainly is not the kind of merit appertaining in this matter to Lord PALMERSTON. Question after question was addressed to i liim last evening point blank, and, one after another, these point blank inquiries were answered by him quite as explicitly. It is the one course we recognise, we believe, we feel, to be in any way possible with Lord PALMERSTON—he of whom the Poet of "King ARTflun." wrote so many years ago— " Ile rides to war no vizor to his helm !" Take as an illustration of Lord PALMERSTON'S frankness in this way in reply—as an exact case in point—the answer given by him last evening, in the midst of a number of other replies equally out spoken, namely, the response to the explanation be sought by Lord ROBERT CECIL in regard to the outrages inflicted at Bonn by the Prussian officials upon Captain MACDONALD. Could anything be more admirable as falling (in reference to such outrages as those) from the lips of England's Prime Minister? "I do not think any expression," re marked the noble Viscount at the very outset Oi this resolute reply—" I do not think any expres sion which has,. been used by the noble lord was too strong to stigmatise the conduct of the Prussian officials." Adding—(we give the whole of his reply) —" It is not for us here to bandy vituperations with Mr, MULLER or anybody else ; the whole pro ceeding was of a most unfriendly character ; and I must say I am astonished that a Government like that of Prussia, which is represented in its foreign department by a distinguished nobleman who had -resided many years in England and must know the feelings and habits of the people of this couutry—l am astonished that the Prussian Go vernment, looking, as it was bound to look, to the circumstances of the case, should not have assumed a different tone." Let the Prussian Foreign Minister take what follows to heart : Lord PAL 31ERC-TON continuing thus :—" If a similar case had occurred in England we should have condemned the conduct of the officials, and made every apology and satisfaction. I think that, looking over Europe, and casting our eyes over its political relations, the Prussian Government has every motive to conciliate the favour of the English nation. I, therefore, say that in this case the conduct of- the Prussian Government was a fault as well as a:criaie. It is impossible to demand from the Prussian Government compensation in this matter, because we are told by the law officers of the Crown that however unjust or arbitrary their proceedings were, they were still within the limits of the Prussian law. The event, h)wever, was to b 0 lamented • ; it is impossible for the British Go ver nolent to press any demand upon the Prussian Cov e I thi n k I.ni llent when such was the stat e o f th e l aw . however, a warning should be given to the Peeet,,lati Government, because when they as th e y do know, that universal indignation which has been expressed against this proceeding by every British subject, and the discussions it has given rise to in the newspapers and in this House, I think smell a proceeding" observed Lord PALMER sToN in conclusion, " is not likely to happen again." And so the matter ended —as far as the House of Commons has anything to do in reference to• the outrages inflicted by those 'wretched little Prussian authorities at Bonn upon Our gallant countryman. And not only, let ns say, in refer ence to those subordinate officials, but in regard also tr, the chiefs of the Berlin Government. Af ter Wiaßt took place yesterday in the British "" of Cotamons, after the words that fell last evening from the lips of the Prime Minister of England, the Prussian Government can, in this particular, labour under no further misapprehension whatever. The incident we have here particularised, we can• not but repeat, on Cosing these remarks, is worthy of England, is worthy of Lord PALMERSTON. There is a story of two lads on board a man-of war who were playing the game of " follow your leader"—suddenly one of them lost his h. ) ld, and was falling from a great height down to the deck and almost certain death ; in the act of falling, how ever, he caught a rope and saved himself,oanhdi; with outt a moment's hesitation, looked u p com panion and:shouted, Follow yourlbeealdieevrer in the The other, it need not be added, did not possibility of repeating such an exploit with im.mu nity from fatal consequences. Will those who are' nowtie game of secession and coerc i on i n America equally wise ? Or will they t r y aga i n playing b e whether they can cannonade and bombard each other for two days without loss of life. The very full details which at the last moment we were able to publish yesterday of the attack and surrender of Fort Sumter, confirm what was only reasoning and probable conjecture when we wrote our remarks, that no one on either side was killed! After a bombardment and cannonade between a fort and seven or eight batteries, after the firing of above two thousand cannon balls and bombs at each other, there was no bloodshed ! Chimneys were knocked down, embrasures were destroyed, combustible buildings were fired, smaller magazines were blown up, but no one on either side was killed Spectators from a safe distance gazed on the sport ; as, at the siege of Antwerp, Englishmen went over and sat astride on housetops to witness the fight from a safe distance ; and it would seem that humanity needed not to revolt at the spectacle, for it was artillery practice only—it was not an affair of life and death. Well if all the quarrels of the world, as well as in America, could be settled in this way. It is a very reasonable one. The best shot's the winner ! Why not ? Justice would be done quite as certainly by giving the decision in favour of the best marksmen, as by giving it for the stronger and richer of two nations. It is of CURRAN, we believe, the tale is told, that having received a challenge, he sent back the pro posal that a man should be chalked on a barn-door, and that whichever of them hit it first or oftenest should apologise to the other. There is as much philosophy and equity at least in this, as in appealing to that Supreme Court which the folly of our race has made the ultimate arbiter in international dis putes ; only it needs two parties equally philosophi cal or equitable. CURRAN'S would-be antagonist laughed, met him, and shook hands. But if the challenging nation persists in a trial of gunnery, not on inanimate matter only, but on the living men who are behind it, why there is nothing for it but to fight it out. It is not at the option of one side only whether it will appear in the court of war. Were the New Englanders a little nearer the days of their Puritan ancestors, they would cer tainly, and with most undoubting faith, believe that the bloodless defeat and victory at Charleston were the special work of Providence. They would say as the Hebrew Monarch did, " The LORD hath kept nre from coming to shed blood," and they would see in it a lesson to both sides. As a mighty triumph by the little band in the fort, would have taken as a commission from Heaven to go forth and utterly destroy or subjugate " those sinners the Southern Amalekites," so a tremendous fire, destroying all around without mischief to life on either side, would have been interpreted as a warning to pause before they came to actual bloodshed. We much fear the modern unbelieving descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers will not be so ready at peaceful interpreta tions. They are the beaten party. Their officer has surrendered; without the slightest impeach ment of his military honour, it is true; but as matters now stand, the populous rich and ener getic North has been beaten by the despised South. \lre fear it is not in Northern nature to sit down by such an open defeat. The merry bells of Charleston which welcomed Major AN DERSON and the garrison as prisoners of war into the city, will be a tocsin to the whole North. Feeling must be strong indeed when the man of commerce forgets his gains ; yet we are told that nothing could be thought of on 'Change at New York but the war. An inquiry about the price of cotton would be answered by, " Cotton •be hanged, what is the last news from Charleston ?" A shipowner spoken to about freights would reply, " Let freights go to Halifax. Has the fleet arrived off Charleston ?" The spirit of the Routh is, of course, even more warlike than that of the North. WALKER, the Secretary of the Montgomery Congress, told the people not only that the flag of the Southern Con federacy would, in a few hours, float over Fort Sumter (from which, it seems, that the attack was a concerted thing on the part of the Government), but that before the Ist of May it would float over the dome of the Capitol itself; and if the North dared to "try Southern chivalry, and test Southern resources, it might float eventually over Fanueil Hall itself." We have seen that the PRESIDENT is really alarmed for Washington ; and situated as it is with the small district of Columbia, in the midst of a Slave State, and with the powerful old Slave State of Virginia close at hand, ready to secede by the last advices,.and not improbably gone over by this time to the South, there is, probably, real cause for fear. All has been done yet with promptitude and by surprise in the South. Action there has not, as was at first somewhat reasonably expected, relaxed, and cooler eounsels returned. And, as it is known that Presi dent DAVIS has called for 25,000 men, popular fear in the North Points to Washington as their pro bable destination. That the North will be, in the long run victorious, with the command of the sea, and double or treble the free population, no one can doubt. But that the North can conquer and retatn the South seems equally impossible. 1t is plain that the South has long laid its plans, that it possesses numerous clever practical men of great determina tion, and, above all, it knows its mind. It means to form a Southern Confederacy ; nothing will con- ciliate it. When ejected from supreme power at Washington, it determined to assume supreme power in its own district. It will be master, if not in the union, then out of it. The North hesitates. It naturally, at first, took Southern threats for mere bullying. It could not believe in such folly as secession. Few Englishmen could believe it; Mr. SEWARD especially did not, and even the more decided Mr. LINCOLN thought that by a fair and legal course the South must be brought to see its untenable position. The result, however, may be very different when the South forces the North to united sentiments and action. Pennsylvania has already obeyed the PRESIDENT'S summons to arm— and the other States seem to be rapidly taking the same course. And, if the present excitement goes on, a few weeks will see the two sections of the late United States converted into two vast camps 110 4tilo brothers; each side confident in itg strength and courage ; each animated by the most vindictive spirit; and each prepared to fight to desperation, not only for victory, but for entire supremacy. May HEAVEN avert so horrible a war ! It is painful to look back on the " ifs" of the past. "If " Pennsylvania had not proved faithless to liberty when BUCHANAN was elected; if she had given her vote for FREMONT and freedom, as all her associations and historical recollections required her to do ; if she had not by her treachery placed such a soulless traitor to freedom as BUCHANAN, in the Presidential chair, the soldier FREMONT, a man too of tried ability and resources, would never have permitted a Southern revolt ; indeed it is little likely it would have been hazarded under hisreign. Under BUCHANAN it could do it safely. His Cabinet was its agent. He himself did not firmly oppose it. He rather connived. The treachery of Penn sylvania in 1856 may be looked upon as the proxi mii‘te cause of all the present troubles in America— troubLQs of which no one on this or that side the water can A nretend to foretell the issue. , The similarity of the quarrel between BRUTUS and CASSIUS, and th,.' contention between CIALDINI and GARIBALDI has noN:' been fully demonstrated. The scene has been complet`.ed in the latter instance as in the former, by a recom'illation. After the stormy exchange of reproaches — reproaches ut tered, to begin with, by CASSIUS .and CIALDINI— the curtain falls when in each instanc, l the brothers in arms are embracing. The dignity, the magnani mity, the grandeur of the whole reconciliation appertaining not more entirely in the earlier interview to BRUTUS than now in this later, and indeed very recent interview to GARIBALDI ! The jealousy of CASSIUS , the jealousy of CIALDINI the world has seen con quered. BRUTUS and GARIBALDI have nobly held out the hand of good fellowship to their unpro voked assailants, in spite of all the bitter remem brance of the taunts in which the latter had so re cently, before that act of magnanimity, been in dulging. In the instance recorded by SHAICSPERE it is the conscience of CASSIUS that guides him back to a recognition of the harshness of his bearing towards his far loftier-minded companion. In CIALDINI's case, the stings of his own conscience have been materially aided in urging him to consent to a reconciliation with General GARIBALDI, in the first place, by that startling letter of General TRIPOLI'S, that letter absolutely denying what he himself (CIALDINI) had asserted about the musket shots reserved for the Piedmon tese upon their arrival in the Abruzzi, by order of the Dictator-Liberator; and fully and entirely cor roborating the haughty denial of anything of the kind by the Dictator-Liberator himself—the BR - 1T- M of the occasion—GARIBALDI. That letter of TRIPOLI'S, in the first instance, we say, must have come materially in aid of the stings of CIALDINI'B own conscience, assuring him, upon calm reflection, that he had been at the very least over hot, and over hasty in the monstrous accusations hurled by him against General GARIBALDI. And in the next plade—it is said—there came forward a potent mediator enough, between not only GARIBALDI and CIALDINI, but also between GARIBALDI and CAVOVR, a mediator no less influ ential and persuasive than the Re Galantuonzo himself—in this instance assuredly his very enemies will allow, a Re Galantuonzo in very deed—the Sol dier "King of Italy," VICTOR EMMANUEL. So that the threatening storms are said to have fairly blown over now at Turin, GARIBALDI being completely re conciled now, let us believe—in the persons of Count CAVOUR and General CIALDINI—to the Brain and Left Hand of the Italian Movement. 11l tidings these for the opponents of that Movement! But news full of the happiest auguries for all those who are believers there, in Italy, of something more than the mere "geographical expression" sneered at by the late Prince METTERNICH. MI SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL' 27, 1861. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. TURIN, APRIL 27. The Italia of to-day publishes details of the recent reconciliation between Garibaldi, Count Cavour, and General Cialdini. The Marquis di Trechi, Aide de-Camp of Garibaldi, took the initiative. Garibaldi and Count Cavour conferred together daring one hour without any witnesses, and after wards separated completely satisfied with each other. Garibaldi then went to the Marquis di Pallavieini's, where General Cialdini was awaiting him. On meeting they cast themselves into each other's arms. NAPLES, APRIL 26 (EVENING.) Yesterday an unimportant demonstration was made by some persons styling themselves Garibal dians. It terminated without any serious conse quences. This morning some insubordinate National Guards made a demonstration against Signor Spaventa. Order was not, however, dis turbed. The reactionary movement in the provinces is not yet entirely suppressed. The Chevalier di Nigra displays great energy. The inhabitants of Naples condemn the authors of the demonstrations. NAPLES, APRIL 27. The news from Turin, announcing the reconci liation of Garibaldi with Count Cavour and General Cialdini, has produced an excellent impression. No further demonstrations are expected to take place. The functions of Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard have been suppressed. Signor AiHitt° has been appointed Governor of the provinces of Naples. VIENNA, SATURDAY. . The Oesterreichische Zeitung of to-day says : " The whole of Gallicia has taken part in the elections of members for the Council of the Em- pire." The same journal publishes a telegram from Verona, asserting that riotous assemblages of re fugees from Venetia had taken place in Milan. BERLIN, SATURDAY. A telegram received here to-day from St. Peters burg rectifies that published here yesterday, and states that it is not the Minister_ for Foreign Affairs, but Prince Peter Dmitriwitsch Gortscha koff 11., member of the Council of the Empire, and brother of the Governor of Poland, who had re seived leave of absence to travel abroad on account of ill health. The telegram received to-day also states that 57 Russian generals have likewise received leave of absence. THORN, APRIL 26. On Monday next, being the Czar's birthday, it is expected that a great popular demonstration will be made at Warsaw. Handbills are circulating in that city requesting the patriots not to appear on the streets on Mon day, to close all the shops, and not to illuminate their windows, eTen if requested to do so with threats. CRACOW, APRIL 26. All the towns in Poland are now militarily occupied. Arrests continue to take place. The colleges of Warsaw and Kalisch have been closed. BERNE, APRIL 26. The Austrian Government has requested the Federal Council to institute an inquiry in reference to the revolutionary manifesto addressed to the German nation, which was lately issued by a Demo cratic committee at Berne. TURIN, APRIL 26. The Turin journals of to-day contain articles applauding the reconciliation which has been effected between Garibaldi, Count Cavour, and General Cialdini. The Opinione of to-Jay says :—" The rumours of popular manifestations at Genoa and Bologna are without any foundation." The Turin G cattle of to-day says : " Garibaldi will pass some days at the villa of the Marquis di Pallavicini, and will afterwards pro ceed direct to the island of Caprera." . The i ce on the . Rifer PETERSBURG,Neva brokePß u A py l e r s , morning ; t e 2 r 6 d . ay BERLIN, APRIL 26. A telegram from St. Petersburg, dated to-day, has been received here, announcing that an impe rial ukase had been published, granting to Prince Gortschakoff, Minister for Foreign Affairs, leave of absence for one year, to travel abroad or in the south of Russia, on account of ill health. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. General Sir Hope tind Lady Grant have arrived in Paris from China, and alighted at the ,Hotel Bristol. The Patrie, in speaking of the reconciliation between Garibaldi and his late opponents, says : " This almost unhoped for event is entirely due to the King's influence, and in effecting it Victor Emmanuel has rendered a new and signal service to Italy. A private letter gives us some particulars of an audience which the King accorded to Gari baldi on Sunday evening. After receiving him in the most cordial manner, his Majesty said, General, you spoke well ; but, allow me to tell you, that Cavour spoke better.' Garibaldi then expressed a wish to once more lay bare his whole soul before the Chamber;' but the King dissuaded him from that course, and the General yielded to his Majesty's advice, which was in perfect accord ance with that 'given by several of the General's own friends."

When General Fanti, in his speech on the organi sation of the Italian army, in the Turin Parliament, on the 18th, alluded to the system of advancement in the Spanish army as being slow, and instanced " Generals O'Donnell and Prim as having won their honours no less by long waiting and weary routine than by prowess in the field," he showed but small acquaintance with facts. O'Donnell was born in 1808. He entered the army early, and was a Cap tain in 1827 ; Colonel in 1833 ; . General of Brigadein 1836; Major-General in 1838; Lieutenant-General in 1839, besides his post of Captain General of Valencia. He emigrated to France in 1840 in col nquence of taking part with the Queen Regent, returned to Spain in 1841, and made the unsuc cessful attempt against the Government in Pampe luna; again emigrated, and lived in France until June, 1843, when he once more entered Spain with the Generals who overthrew the Regency of Espartero. In 1843 he got the rich post of Cap tain-General of Cuba, which he conducted doubt less, to the satisfaction of the Government, te disadvantage, leaan the duringe insurrection but most assuredly no t t o hi s own personal or of 1 8 i B x s 4 y , e w a rhs ich H brought him the highest rank of all—that of Field Marshal ; and the wa r i n M orocco was rewarded by a Grandeeship, and the title of Duke of Tetuan. I make no allusion to honours or rewards of another kind, for General O'Donnell has probably all the honorary distinctions in the power of the Crown to bestow. But when General Fanti instances this officer as one who had won his honours after "long waiting and weary routine," he must have strange notions about age and time. O'Donnell was a Field-Marshal at 46, three years of which ought to be deducted from his services, as they were passed in emigration; and from 1840 to 1854, the date of his Marshal's rank, Spain had no foreign or civil war in which O'Donnell was engaged. General Prim, born in 1811, was Colonel in 1837. When Espartero, in whose overthrow he played some part, fell in June, 1843, Prim was made General of Brigade, and Count of Rens, In four months afterwards he was made Major-General, and in the Morocco war Lieutenant-General. There is no doubt about the merit of either of these officers; but most certainly they are not instances of honours won by "long waiting and weary routine." SHEFFIELD BLADES. The following correspondence has been sent to 11,9 for publication : " Foreign Affairs Committee, Sheffield, April 24,1861. " My Lord,—This committee have read your lordship's observations on Thursday last relative to the trumpery case of Capt. Macdonald with feelings of disgust, arising from the conviction that you were perfectly aware of the insin cerity of your observations. Your object in stating the falsehood that 'nothing could be more inhospitable than the system of Prussian administration' was not a bona fide one. You wished to aid the conspirators who are striving to bring Prussia into odium, for the purpose of weakening her and preventing her from resisting the universal aggres sions of Russia. Hence arises the indignation of the com mittee at seeing your real character and purposes so wholly different from your professions. It is grievous to see one in your position consent to let his life be an habitual breach of the 10th Commandment. This is not the first time that an attempt has been made to arrest your attention. On the 21th of March, 1858, the Committee declared you to be your dishonoured in the sight of God and man ;' and that wickedness' was ' awful,' in reference to your correspon dence with Mr. Hargreaves on the Sepoy mutilations of your invention. This had no effect. You still pursue the same career, but What will ye do in the end thereof ?'

Moreover, a number of ladies attached knots of black ribbon to the breasts of all the congregation, even servants and police officers. After the service a collection was made and the hymn, line CO3 Polskie, was sung. Then a gentleman displayed a garment stained with blood, and a shroud which had been sent from Warsaw, and afterwards tore them into small pieces, giving one to every person present. During the service all the shops kept by Poles were closed. A despatch from Warsaw, of the 23d, states that the authorities, in order to put an end to the melan choly aspect of the city, have ordered the theatres to be opened. The inhabitants are to receive tickets, which they will be bound to make use of, and occupy the places assigned to them. Such persons as do not obey this injunction will render themselves liable to certain penalties set forth in the ordinance. The proceedings against the per sons arrested in consequence of the events of the Bth have commenced.

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 26. A file of the Cape Argus up to February 28 gives intelligence seven days later than that by the mail steamship Athens, Commander Clark, which left Table Bay on the 21st, and arrived here on the 29th of March. The estimated revenue :if the colony for 1860 was £516.505; the actual receipts, £503,956; de ficiency, £15,549. The Cape Commissioners for the Great Exhibi• ',ion, 1862, met at the Agricultural Society's office on the 27th of February, when Sir William Hodges, Chief Justice, was elected chairman, and Mr. John Curren secretary. A wing of the 12th Regiment is said to be under orders for Butterworth. Two of the garrison guns have been appropriated to the use of the Cape Town Volunteer Artillery. The Fort Beaufort Advocate says that Sir G. Grey contemplates proposing to Parliament to lead out the Orange River, near the Witterberg Moun tains, into the Great Fish River. The canal would be useful for barges and for irrigation. The Fish River mouth might then become the "port" of South Africa. The papers of the captured slave vessel Famosa Estrella are of such a suspicious character that her case wi.l be brought before the Vice Admiralty Court for Adjustment. The United States' steam frigate Niagara, 12 Capt. W. W. M'Kenzie, from Jan. 21, for the United States, was at anchor in Table Bay Feb. 21. The United States' corvette Vandalia, 20, Capt. T. P. Lee, from New York, Dec. 9, and Port Para Jaa.l7, arrived in Table Bay Feb. 27. His Netherlands Majesty's steam-vessel Retch, from Plymouth, left Table Bay February 24, for Batavia. The French transport Iphigenie, with 280 sol diers from Brest Jan. 3, for New Caledonia, arrived in Table Bay on the 26th of February. The British ship Claremont, with 280 Coolies, from Hong Kong for Demerara, which grounded in Table Bay on the 18th of February, was got off on the 22d without much injury.

THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. A debate of some interest took place in the Prussian Chamber of Representatives on the 22d inst. M. Niegolewski, a Pole, in the name of the Polish members, brought forward a motion to the following effect : " Considering that the contracting Powers at the Congress of Vienna could not come to an agree ment respecting the re—establishment of Poland, which they had first projected, but were never theless agreed upon this point, that the peace and tranquillity of Europe imperiously demanded that Poland should at least retain her existence as a separate member in the family of the peoples of Europe, and that the different parts of ancient Poland, despite their partition under three sceptres, should be recognised as forming one homogeneous whole, with the guarantee of their nationality ; considering that the peculiar situation, con formable to the law of nations, granted by these stipulations to the Polish people in the family of European States, must be re garded as the minimum of the political existence of a people; considering that this minimum of formal right granted to the Poles is becoming gradualty more and more restricted; considering finally, that the innumerable victims and the martyrdom of the Poles, incessantly renewed, speak loudly of their national and political existence, and that these proofs claim from the equity of Europe the expia tion of the injustice done them, or at least the accomplishment of the concrssions forcibly granted . !.o them in the interest of the tranquillity and peace of Europe—the author of the motion proposes that it ma: , please the Chamber of Representatives to decide that finally the territorial unity of the ancient Polish State of 1772, guaranteed by the formal right of peoples, as well as the national and political rights appertaining to the Poles within those limits, may at least hold good and be carried out, and that those rights may not henceforth be arbitrarily restricted by the signing Powers to whom virtue of the treaties of Vienna pt of Poland have been conceded under conditionar s s previously stipulated." M. Niegolewski, in bringing forward his motion, asserted the right of appealing to the treaties of Vienna. Those treaties guaranteed to the Poles the maintenance of their nationality, leaving it to the care of the three Governments to determine the form of the national institutions which, in virtue of those treaties, they were bound to grant to the Poles. It was not his object to' propose the re establishment of ancient Poland, but simply to claim the fulfilment of admitted stipulations. M. Niegolewski read various despatches of Lord Cas tlereagh and the Councillor Hurdenberg and others, to establish that the Powers had promised to pre serve to Poland her national institutions. No one had a right to Russianise or Germanise Poland. The treaties of Vienna denied such a pretension. The King of Prussia had sanctioned those guaran tees by solemn promises, which ought to remain valid tis long as the Prussian monarchy existed. If the primitive intentions of Alexander I. had been realised, Poland might have received a development and have been spared many revolutions. These revolu dons will occur again unless the Poles are allowed the rights granted to them by treaties. As long as Russia, Austria, and Pi ussia mutually advised each other to have recourse to energetic measures of re pression, poor Poland would assume more and more the appearance of a churchyard, and floods of inno cent blood would again be shed. The recent events at Warsaw were a disgrace to history. "I t cannot be denied," concluded the speaker, " that we never cease to dream of the restoration of P.dand. You yourselves would despise us if we did otherwise. But thai is not the question now before us. For the present we only ask the fulfilment of promised and guaranteed rights. Do not yourselves leave the peaceful path we have adopted to attain our object. Do not drive us into revolutions, and do not. cast us aside as useless elements for achieving the grand aim to which our present epoch aspires." M. de Vincke observed, that by the 14th article of the final Act of Vienna the Grand Duchy of Posen was incorporated in the kingdom of Prussia, and that, consequently, there could be no quest ion of the territorial unity of Poland as advanced in the mo tion- The motion appeals to the edict of 1772. Now of the 352 members of welch the Cnamber consisted 53 belonged to the ccuntry which at that period fell to Prussia. Of those 53 the Polish fraction counted 18, while 35, consequently two-thirds, en tertained opposite views. The. origin..tors of the motion were acting unconstitutionally in speaking in the name of their Polish brethren. Article 88 of the Constitution enacted that the deputies re present the whole people. Prussian representatives had no mandate as long as they sat in the Chamber to speak in the name of Polish brothers. But what particularly characterised the anti-constitutional bearingof the motion was that it asked the Govern ment to admit the territorial unity of the Polish State of 1772,which was contrary to the Ist Article of the Constitution, which expressly defined the unity of the country, and according to which no portion of the State could at any time appertain to another State. Moreover, the real object of the moton was the unity of the Polish State and the restoration of Polan . d. In 1850 the Polish depu- ties resigned their mandate, declaring that by taking the oath to the Constitution they would ;JO renouncing their ugiontility. « Will ask them if the. Constitution has changed since then. I will ask them what would be said in France and Eng land if the Alsatians or the Irish wished to make their nationality prevail in The Chambers." M. Niegolewski—They have done so repeatedly. M. de Vincke—" In my opinion the intellectual .)riginator of this motion must not be sought for i-ither at Paris or Warsaw. (Laughter.) It is tru , rhat the member for Genesen, in the sitting of the 28th of January last, threatened that if the pre tended rights of Poland were not granted the Poles would throw themselves into the arms of the Emperor of Russia. But recent events at Warsaw will doubtless have somewharcooled the desire for a Russian embrace." M. de Vincke concluded by quoting Count Ciessowski's words in the sitting of the Chamber of the 12th of May, 1859, who said : —"Nationality or revolution, that is the dilemma of the' present age. We have made our choice; make yours." " Gentlemen," said M. de Vincke, " the dilemma has undergone a change. It is now Constitution or revolution ? and 1, in my turn, say to you, Our choice is made; may you soon have made yours.' " (Loud cheers.) Count Schwerin (Minister of the Interior) was of the opinion that the discussion had left the ques tion before the House. He could not protest too strongly against the opinions expressed by the mover of the proposition. The point was not to know what Lord Castlereagh said on this or that treaty. The important point was that the King of Prussia holds the province of Posen in full sove reignty, and that such sovereignty excludes the territorial unity of ancient Poland am well as its separation from the other provinces of the State. That sovereignty exacts that no other law shall prevail in the province of Posen than the law of Prussia. That law is actually in force there, and will continue to be so. The Government will know how to put dawn any infraction of that law, whether in words or acts, with the necessary energy. Count Ciessowzki desired to address the Chain. her on a. personal question. It was true he and other members resigned their mandates when the Constitution was a lex ferenda, and they resumed their seats in the Chamber in presence of the lex lata, but reserving their rights by a public declara tion. As regards the dilemma put by M. de Vincke, I will tell him—" We have also, long since, made our choice, but you, you are rushing to wards revolution by violating justice." President Simson could not allow such words to be spoken without stating in the most serious man ner to the speaker that he committed a grave breach of the rules of the house. The Chamber then divided, when the order of the day pure and simple was adopted. The ad vanced fraction of the Liberal party voted with the Poles against the order of the day. THE G A.RIBAL E±CURSIONISTS. The following correspondence has been published : To THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE GARI. EALDI SPECIAL FUND, LONDON. "Feb. 13, 1861. "Gentlemen,—His Excellency the Sardinian Minister in London, in consequence of instructions received by him from the Ministry at Turin, dasires me to make you the following communication, and I have to request that you will kindly enable me to give him a suitable answer on the subject of which it treats. "It appears that on the 20th of September last a charter party was signed by the firm of Clay and Co. and an officer of the English Legion, authorised by General Garibaldi, by which it was agreed that the Legion of English Volunteers should be shipped by the steamer Emperor, the property of the said Messrs. Clay, and the Dictator then ordered the payment of the price agreed upon— viz., £6,123 10s., or Neapolitan ducats 35,944.91. "In consequence of this order the Finance Department issued a pay-note in favour of the above-named firm, due on the 13th of March next, against a receipt dated the 2Gth of December last, by which Messrs. Clay ceded to the Trea sury at Naples all its rights and claims on the Garibaldi Special Fund Committee, by which the Legion was sent to Naples, and which was to pr. , vide the sums necessary for its maintenance, transport, and for the reimbursement of the said sum of ducats of 35,914.94. " The said departments, being now desirous of exercis ing the rights and claims so ceded to the Treasury, has, through the Royal Lieutenancy in Naples, asked me to ob tain from the committee the reimbursement of the sum in question from the funds collected for the purpose. —Await ing your reply, 1 am, &c., " HEATH, Sardinian Consul-General."

" The matter has occupied much time and attention, and every endeavour has been made to keep the expenses within the narrowest limits which the necessity of the case allowed.

"I am further desired by his excellency to state that in consequence of inquiries made by this Legation from the proper authorities at Naples, it is apprised that the British Legion left that country on the following conditions :--The officers regularly appointed received six months' pay ; those whose appointment could not be regularly established, three months' pay. The non-commissioned officers and privates received six months' pay, and arrangements were concluded for their return t 3 England, those arrangements being a passage to Marseilles, railway expenses from that city to Calais, and the passage across the Channel. " The presiding officer of the board intrusted with the carrying these dispositions into effect states, not only that these various sums were punctually paid, but from regard for the British nation, every facility was given in cases of need, free passage being granted even to officers, who strictly were not entitled to it. "By the same rule neither officers nor privates, when once landed on the shores of England, were entitled to any assistance whatever. it afforded, however, great satisfac tion to the Sardinian authorities to interpret liberally a somewhat doubtful case, and to afford these persons the means of reaching the r homes free of expense. " His Excellency the Minister desires me to inform you that from this time forward all such assistance will be dis continued, and he adds that, according to instructions re ceived from Turin, all volunteers who may henceforward be induced to leave this country for Italy must be informed that, their enlistment being made against the will and with out the knowledge of the Government, they will receive no assistance under any circumstances whatever.—l have the honour, &e., " J.

The words of Colonel Tripoti are new to me. I know of no other order than that given by me, "To receive the Italian soldiers of the Southern army as brothers ;" although it was known that that army came to combat the revolution personified in Garibaldi. (Farini's words to Napoleon 111.) As a deputy, I believe I have set forth to the Chamber a very small part of the wrongs received by the Southern army from the ministry, and I think I had a right to do so. The Italian army will find in its ranks a soldier the int.re when it cornea to fighting the enemies of Italy ; and this will not at any rate seem a novelty to you. All else that you may have heard of me respecting the army is calumny. We were on the Volturno the evening after our most splendid Italian victory gained in the middle of the day, before your arrival ; and we were in anything but a bad condition. As far: as I know the army has applauded the free and moderate words of a soldier-deputy, for whom the honour of Italy has been the religion of his whole life. If, then, anyone is offended by ray mode of pro ceeding, I, speaking in the name of myself alone-- and I am answerable for my words—wait quietly to be asked to give satisfaction for the same. G. GARIBALDI. CANTERBURY HALL. The performance at this favoured Music Hall have been strengthened by the engagement of Mr. Levy, the celebrated cornet a-piston player, who nightly performs a round of solos with the most distinguished success. Mr. Levy is the principal cornet in the Crystal Palace Band, and occupied a prominent position at Mr. Alfred Mellon's Prome nade Concerts at the Floral Hall. He has rapidly risen to the rank of our first player on this delightful instrument. It may be supposed that praise is exhausted upon his talent when it is said that the mantle of poor Koenig has fallen on him ; but we doubt if Kcenig's tone was so full, or his execution so marvellously facile. He combines the pathos of Koenig with the wonderful execution of Monsieur Arban, a player possessing the most florid execution of any other performer, we believe, on this, one of the most modern adapta tions of wind instruments. Mr. Levy plays a " Whirlwind Polka," a composition of his own, containing a perfect hurricane of notes, which will convey the notion of the "Elemental strife." His astonishing rapidity of execution, and mobility of " lip" are called into play in this difficult piece, as his-feeling and pathos are exhibited with equal felicity in the "Last Rose of Summer," the air of which he really "sings" on the instrument, with a fervour and rich appreciation of the melody which could not be excelled by our choicest vocalists. Admirable as are the operatic selections, and the varied displays of vocal talent, in the vein of humour or of pathos, the instrumental per formances of Mr. Levy come in an agree able aid to the counterbalancing vocalization. In the physical department of the entertainment the " Brothers Conrad" are still in the ascendant. The sommersault throwing of the elder brother on the tight rope is wonderful, as a feat, and likewise for the grace and apparent ease with which it is done. Both brothers (mere lads) are unexcelled in this species of entertainment, which, marvellous as it is, keeps clear of the terrible, and while it astonishes does not, like certain "sensation" feats, make the blood curdle. These young vaulters accompany themselves on violins all the time they are engaged in their almost perpetual motion in the air. The younger lad possesses considerable fun, and in the " business" of pantomime is the epitome of a clown. FRIGHTFUL SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning a shocking case of self-destruotion was perpetrated by a stranger at the coffee and lodging ho'ise, 6, Shepherd's market, Mayfair, by almost severing his head from the body, under the subjoined circumstances.
