Politically, I know you are ad• verse to him ; morally, lam confident you are not. I now appeal to your candour, impartiality, and genera pity. It is only this morning I hear that the illustrious exile is in straightened circumstances. Trusted by all the highest, bravest, most virtuous of his countrymen, appointed by them to the first station, and holding their wealth at his disposal, he lived among them, and de parted from them, poor. The jewels of the Hungarian crown lay at his feet ; he spurned them, as he spurned the usurper and perjurer who had worn them. Military tree son necessitated his flight ; the valour of Bem and Guyon was insufficient against the enemy. The repre sentative of Mahomet saved the follower of Christ from the N eageance of the Apostolic ; the Caliph cast his mantle over the wounded, and defied the uplifted sword. Kossuth at last took refuge in England. Here he was welcomed in every city by the magistrates and the people, and even by those of the nobility who were not Germanised by the Court. Among us there are some remaining whose affections are not torpified nor chilled by conduct with adversity. Let us see how many there are of them. I will not close my eyes until I make this appeal to you, declaring moat solemnly that I have had no conversation or correspondence on the subject with the exile of Hungary ; I have not asked, directly or indirectly, his permission' to make the appeal, and I fear I may want his coun tenance ; but what I am now doing I feel is to be a duty. Let me hope, however, and trust that the most, eloquent of statesmen since Demosthenes will not refuse that public tribute which another of much ce lebrity accepted. Mr. Fox had squandered a large for tune in the moat pernicious of-vices—in gambling. Kos suth had no riches and no vices ; he left a lucrative and honourable profession to rescue his outraged country. Mr. Fox committed an act . of treason, or very similar, he sending an agent to the Emprear Katharine, assuring her that she might safely take posseseion ofNootka Sound, against the just claims of England. The speeches of Mr. Fox never elevated the soul, never enlarged the intellect, never touched the heart. He upheld . the cause of France aga inst England throughout the 'war ,' even while her best citizens were bleeding on the scaffold. , Kossuth upheld the cause of Hungary, not onlf throughout the war, but throughout years more disastrous. Only one orator and statesman ever, acted with so muc h ability, ennsiatency,all.cl energy he, too, was an exile. Demosthenes, a victim crowned with imperishable glory, walked calmly forth from the temple of Poseidon and shook hands with Death, sparing his enemy the guilt of his Murder. May we Englishmen be exempted from :it *haunt as- beitioue I—the guiltnf...t a bing die among us, -without our sympathy and without-ode help, a man as virtuous, as ardent an-orator, and as.pura a patriot the-one'Pau-Hellenic, the other Pan• European. "WALTER SAVADE LANDOR. P.S.—I forgot to say that my subscription of 101. is ready. [PRICK 4D. 'STAMPED SD• LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1856. Spirit of the Public Journals. (From the Times of this day.) It has always been considered a sign of the ap proaching downfall of Governments or political systems when scandal after scandal has come to light among those highest placed in a country, and men have seen with astonishment and something like terror the corruption of those who rule their destinies. The fall of the Roman commonwealth was presaged by portents far more signiEcant than comets or showers of blood, and within the last few years a dynasty of France seemed fore-doomed to destruction in the terrible histor i es which cast a gloom over its latter days. Recent events in Berlin may well cause observers of political times and changes to reflect. Seldom have a few days brought into view so much that is foul, strange, and unna tural. Men had scarcely recovered from the sur prise occasioned by the death of Hinkeldey, the Minister of Police, when it was announced that Herr von Canitz, another well-known member of Berlin society, had committed suicide. The report prevailed for two or three days, when it was an nounced that he too had lost his life in a duel of mysterious origin. Scarcely are these two men in the grave, scarcely has the indecent address of the President of the Upper House in the case of Herr von B,ochow been uttered, than a new and larger scandal appears. The circumstances, as fgr as they are known, were detailed in our Prussian corre spondence a day or two ago. It can well be imagined that even in the midst of duos and alleged suicides, even when Peace Conferences are at their crisis, and Frederick Williamis accrediting a representative to them, such an incident as the theft of important and compromising documents from the portfolios of two men high in Court favour must move the world of Berlin. The facts are as follows :—ln the course of last summer two men, one in the service of the King's Private Secretary, Niebuhr, and the other of General Gerlach, were arrested on suspicion of having betrayed the corre spondence of their masters to several persons both at home and abroad. It appears that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg fancied that certain communica tions made to the Court of Berlin had become known to the French Embassy, and even that the operations of the allies in the Crimea had been in fluenced by revelations surreptitiously made. The matter appears to have been little inquired into at the time, but subsequently it was found that a much larger mass of correspondence had been pur loined, and, from what has escaped into notoriety, it seems evident that two sets of men high in the State have been intriguing against each other, and that one has had recourse to the most dishonourable means to learn the secrets and to baffle the plans of the other. The relation of the King to his Ministers is singular. The responsible instruments of his ad ministration are by no means those in closest connection with him. Behind, and almost above the Ministry, is a small knot of men who, under the names of Chamberlains and Adjutants, report on the measures of the accredited advisers, have sight of all documents, and. are said to sway the Royal purpose according to their own views. Among these are M.M. Niebuhr and Gerlach, whose correspondence has been lately purloined. Though much that is asserted may be incorrect, we yet must give the accusation as we find it. It is said that one of the King's Ministers has had some share in employing or rewarding the men who have violated the sanctity of their mas ters' correspondence. Last autumn a man named Techen was arrested as an abettor of the men ser vants in robbing their masters. This person, an old man, was formerly a police spy, and well he seems to have understood his, nefarious craft. Having been for some unemployed and penniless, he was accustomed to solicit alms of a gentleman occupy ing a high office under the Minister of Finance, at Potsdam, but who had been himself a " confiden tial official of secret police," and as so connected in old times with Techen. At last he began to be less importunate for money, and confessed that he was regularly engaged at a fair salary in a most delicate service. To prove his words hesho wed papers of high importance, which it was evident could only have been obtained in some improper way. His benefactor was staggered, but was too much a man of the world to make a noise about it. Old Techen was well paid, and had managed to get hold of important documents. It must therefore be evident, thought the finance official, that be was acting under high authority. He behaved, therefore, as a good Prussian official ought, and contented himself with intimating the fact "in a high quarter."- One of the papers was especially interesting. It was the copy of a 3 eport sent to General Gerlach by a spy who had been employed to observe and record " all the Prince of Prussia's sayings and doings while on a tour of military inspection, and was full of the most odious incriminations of his Royal Highness." There were also private communica tions from Count Munster, at St. Petersburg, to General Gerlach, and it was probably these on which the Czar's Government founded its repre sentations. Some time after Techen disappears, and on returning deposits papers and money with his friend. The money he afterwards asks for by letter, and the answer he allows to be discovered in his own house, thus making it appear to the world that his old friend had employed him in his scandalous proceedings and sent him money for his trouble. This is the transaction as understood at present in Berlin, and in which it is whispered that one of the Ministers has borne a principal part. If it be correct, it appears that some of the King's advisers have thought right to employ the vilest of mankind in discovering the secrets of persons who may in some sense be •called, their colleagues. The whole of this strange story throws a strong light on the mysteries of Prussian official life, and helps us to understand a story which was current some time since-- . .,hat the King, conscious of the system of espionage under which he lived, when on a visit to the Rhine last year had the greatest difficulty in communicating confidentially with an ex-Minister ' who was at the same time one of his Majesty's oldest and dearest friends, and at last thought it necessary to appoint a meeting at a railway station, where the two could converse with out fear of intrusion on their privacy. But what is most interesting to Englishmen is to find that the spy system on the continent is no exaggeration of Liberal orators, no dream of popular suscepti bility, no usage of the past which is gone, never to return. In Prussia, educated, enlightened, and artistic, we see men of the highest rank accused on no slight grounds of practices not only unknown to this country, but abhorrent to the feelings of every man among us. When we consider that no official of even the lowest rank in England would dare to be concerned in such enormities, it gives us some notion of the difference between our own country aud the continent to find that statesmen and nobles can look on such things as the legiti mate means of political success. (F;•om the Morning Post of this day.) With respect to wife-beating, we have heard asked whether the punishment of whipping (which Mr. Dill wyn, immediately after the re-assembly of Parliament, will propose to place it in the dis cretionary power of magistrates to inflict), whether this punishment would not "degrade" the brutes who should suffer it ? We have seen this question, and several like it, put in various respectable organs of opinion, and answered by them affirmatively, and then made the basis of vehement objections to the experimental alteration proposed. We wish our readers to examine with us what this reasoning really means, and what it is worth. The few words we shall have to say about it will necessarily cast some incidental light, as we pass, on certain other equally valuable, equally profound, equally philo sophic, and thought-evincing inquiries continually heard in the discussion of this subject, such as— would it (whipping) "go to the root of the mat ter ?" Would it change our ruffian class into orna- I meats of society ? Would it " reform" their bar- I barons hearts and their degrading habits—would it turn child-kickers and wife-beaters into fond parents and gentle husbands ? All such queries, in cases like the one under consideration, constitute that rub tish of argument—that pretence of reasoning —that embarrassing heap of extraneous, irrelevant twad dle, with which every proposition of importance — the instant it becomes the theme of wide-spread and miscellaneous debate—is certain to be overlaid. These solemn admonitory appeals are the well known product of strong but vague wishes, in per sons of a weak understanding, highly cultivated— persons who do the largest habitual quantity of meditation with the smallest proportional quan tity of thought. Persons of that kind ask —would this particular species of punishment eradicate the vicious propensities and bad disposi tions from which has proceeded the delinquency punished ? Well, we think not. They next ask— which is better, to punish a delinquency, or to pre vent it ? No one can hesitate how to answer this to prevent the crime is better. obtaining these " concessions," the objectors to Mr. Dillwyn's pro posed experiment, and, indeed, to every similar suggestion, proceed to draw their triumphant con- elusion against his measure, forgetting that pre cisely the same reasoning would warrant a conclu sion against all ptnishments in the case of any offence, no matter what. Since you grant, they say, that your new penal process cannot eradicate the evil dispositions which are the cause of the crime, and since you also grant that it is better to prevent it than to punish it, why not prevent it at once ? In the name of philanthropy, why not ? Let It be done. No punishment ever yet in use among men has been able to uproot the badness which caused the act it punished; and, what is more, neither have any other means yet succeeded in quite re moving from the face of the earth the moral seeds out of which offences spring. But two truths re main truths for all this ; first, the existence of a. punishing machinery .for crimes actually perpe trated, does not preVent the simultaneous existence of reformatory processes for their prevention to the greatest extent possible, nor the introduction of as many new agencies of the kind as you please, nor their indefinite tunitiplicatton afterwards and per petually. Every instrument to its proper work ; and, though the work of one nsay be far better than the work of another, yet the instruments are not, if interchanged. In the second place, punishment does act, in its sphere, for the prevention of some crimes, and especially on the part of him who is under the - penal restraint, whatevei it may be. -Those who urge the most appropriate chastise -H went of offences have, of course :L in their mind only offences already perpetrated and done. If none be perpetrated, it little matters what the punishment reserved for such acts--rthat punishment cannot apply. Prevent them'altogether, and their punish ment will never come into force. Meantime, per mit us to speak of what unfortunately still claims attention— 'e mean the occurrence of positive actual facts contrary to laws •Woesagnge to occupy `ourselves with penal enactments only until there be nothing to punish—not one' Moment longer.- Therefore, by all means, prevent crime. It is a niost excellent work. So it is to prevent a fire in your house far better than to extinguish afire in it. But because the precautions which keep your premises from igniting are much more valuable than any processes for subduing their conflagra tion, would you forbid these last ? Cannot both be attended to without incompatibility ? He who keeps a valuable dog from going mad does a better thing than he who shoots him when mad, but the last will continne to be a prudent measure until dogs cease altogether to be liable to rabid frenzy. Not one of the various chastisements'awarded for murder (or for any other offence) ever yet deli vered the community where they were in force frop the occasional occurrence of the deed. There fore, such deeds, we suppose, must not be punished at all. What the penalties do not hinder malefac tors from venturing we behold ; what the penal ties deter them from doing we can but calculate — surely calculate in the gross average, but never with precision in the positive number of cases, for the nature of these is not to come to light. This is the very advantage gained, and it is forgotten by our mawkish sentimentalists, and by the whole tribe of these philosophic progress-preachers Who disdain lucidity of argument, and everything like carefulness in their reasonings. As to the " degradation" of a whipping for child beaters and wife-beaters, we advise Mr. Dillwyn to say plainly that degrading it is, and that this is precisely one of the reasons why he recommends its adoption. A person is powerfully restrained from doing, or incurring, what is deemed, in his own circle, a degradation. To strike to the earth a preg nant wife, to kick her, to jump on her, to drag her by the hair of the head around her garret, all this is not considered by the persons in question to de grade them ; but to be whipped for it, we are now told, will be so considered by theni. Then whip them for it. It will " hurt their conscience" to treat them thus ; then hurt their conscience. The very argument most used and pressed against the proposal is au unspeakably powerful argument in its favour. Meantime, " moralise" these persons as much as you please. If you moralise these men sufficiently, there will be none to whip. Let it be remembered that no one asks punishment for the crimes that are, but only for those that still unhap pily may continue not to be " prevented." DEATII 6i TB hi RIGHT HON. SIR POTTI GER, G.C.B. ..sl. large portion of our readers, especially those who are connected with the East by personal or professional ties, will learn with regret the news of the death of so *experienced and able a servant of the Crown as Sir Henry Pottinfrer, an event which occurred at Malta early on the morning of the 18th last., in the Vith year of his age. Sir Henry, who was born about the year 1789, represente , l, like the Deke of 'Wellington, an an cient English faintly which had been settled for some generations in Ireland. So ancient, indeed, is the stock of which he came, that according to the records of the Herald's College, the deceased baronet is sail to have been 31st in decent from Egbert, the first Saxon King of England, and grandfather of Alfred. Be this, 0 ever, as it may, one bratch of the family has been settled in Berkshire since the conquest, and during the 17tti century sent several of its members to represent the good town of Reading', n Parliament. The other branch, from which the late Sir Henry was descended, . . . settled in Ireland about the middle of he 16th century, and in 1661 we find one Thomas Pottinger, of Mount Pottinger, county of Down, elected thefirst"Sovereign" or Mayor of Belfast, on theincarporation of that town by Charles 11. His son conveyed King William 111. to Ireland but was lost at sea in an attempt to intercept a convoy of French vessels I..tden, as waa supposed, with supplies for King James's army. Fourth in descent from the above Thomas wa tho father of the subject of our memoir, Eldred Cerwen Pottinger, Esq., of Mount Pottinger, who married, in 1779, Anne, daughter of the late Robt. Gordon, Esq., of Florida, county of Down, and died in 1814, leaving three daughters and eight sons. Nearly all the eons who survived infancy devoted themselves to the service of their country, either in the navy, the army, or in the East India C.)mpany's army. The fifth son, Henry, the subject of our present remarks, went to India as a cadet in 1804, and at an early age attracted the attention of the civil and military authorities there by his energy, information, and ready administrative powers. During his long sojourn in that country he was employed in almost every branch of the public service. He was for more than seven years Judge and Collector at Ahmednuggar, in the Deccan, and for 15 years more he filled the post of Political Resident at Cutch and Scinde ; during part of the latter period he was also President of the Regency in the former province. So high was the opinion at that time formed of his talents by Lord Auckland, the Governor-General of India, that when that nobleman was raised to the Earldom, and General Keane to a Barony, in De cember, 1839, after the Affghauistan campaign, Major-General Pottinger was raised to the Baro netage, as a token of the appreciation felt in England of the services which he had render's' in the discharge of his difficult duties. Sir H. Pottinger returned to England in 1840, - having established a deserve ily high reputation ; nod it cannot be a matter of surprise that he found no difficulty in obtaining further employment. In the year 1840, as is generally known, differences con nected for the most part with the opium trade broke out between this country and the Emperor of China. Accordingly, early in 1811 Sir Henry was selected by her Majesty's Government to discharge the office of a mediator, and was ordered to proceed to China as En voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, for the purpose of adjusting the matters in dispute. He joined Admiral Sir William Parker at Bombay about the end of June in that year, immediately after the surrender of the city of Canton to the British forces wider General, now Lord Gough, supported by the fleet under the late Sir H. de Fleming Senhouse and Sir Gordon Bremer ; and he arrived off Canton in the Sesostris towards the end of the following month. At the same time he was gazetted Superintendent of the British Trade in China. Whatever may be the opinion entertained as to the policy of our war with China, it is certain that China became the field on which the diplomatic ability of the late Sir Henry Pottinger was most fully and fairly exhibited. On his arrival at Macao, August 12, he issued a spirited proclamation, notifying that while he would do his best to consult the wishes and prosperity of all her Majesty's subjects and other foreigners resident in China, "at the same time it became his first duty distinctiy to intimate that it was his intention to devote his undivided energies and thoughts to the primary object of securing a speedy and satisfactory close of the war, and that therefore he could allow no consideration of mercantile or other interests to interfere with the strong measures which he might find it necessary to authorise and adopt towards the Government and nub jects of China in order to compel an honourable and lasting peace." At the same time, with great wisdom, he warned the British residents on no account to rely upon the existing truce,*but to stand upon their guard against the perfidy and bad faith of the Chinese officials. The sequel of our war with China is too well known to need recording here ; it is enough to say that the mili• tary and naval operations of the British farces at Amoy, which was captured in the same month, were well sup ported by the arts of diplomacy, and that the genius and fareaightedness of Sir Henry Pottinger contributed in no slight degree to bring to a successful issue our protracted hostilities with the crafty Chinese. The re , cult of these operations, as all our readers are aware, was to throw open a commerce with 330,000,000 na• tives, and the terms of the treaty with which the war was concluded in 1842 " were such as to give uni• versal satisfaction, not merely on acmunt of the palpable and self evident benefits arising from free trade with such an extended population, but also from the strong precautions that have been taken to prevent abuses." It is not too much to say that, if the " benefits" under the former category are mainly due to Lord Gough and Sir W, Pallier, those under the latter arer n cipaily to be ascribed to tha i,kill and forethought of Sir Henry Pottinger. As FOOD as the news of this treaty reached England Sir Henry was rewarded tor his services with the Grand CrosE of the Order of the Bath ; he was sub sequently appointed Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the island of Hong-kong, which post he held from April, .1843, to the spring of the following year, when he returned to England. In May, 1844, he was sworn a ineenber,iif the Privy Council, and a pension of 1,5001. a-year rwas settled upon him by a vote of the House of Comm Ons, In September, 1846, he was again chosen fcr active service, being appointed to the Governorship of the Cape of Good. Hope, in . succession to Sir Peregrine Maitland, and discharged that office with great address and enemy through a very troubled period, until Sep tember, 1847, when he was relieved by the present Gen. Sir Harry G. W. Smith, G.C,B. In 1847 he went again to India, the saene 'of his early services, and held the post of - Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Presidency of Madras until the year 1854, when he finally returned to England. In Nov., 1851, he was promoted to :he local rank of Lieutenant-General in India. In early relation of public and private life the .name of Sir lienry Pottinger has long commanded the respect and eiteem of all who have been brought into connection with him. His administration of public affairs in India, China, and Africa has been uniformly excelle4, and we only re-echo public opinion when we say that we seldom have had occasion to regret an offi cer who has rendered greater service to the Crown and 1 . the countr .ry. THE XASTEK BAINUIET AT • THE MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday evening, pursuant to 'annual custoth, the Right Mon. the Lord Mayor entertained a large and distinguished party/at dinner in the Egyptian Hall, where Cstvera were laid for 200. - The:frat. that net a single Cabinet-Minister was pre- sent? assndect of general conversation amongst the. guesOn the removal of the cloth, The Lours MAYOR gave in. succession " The Queen: " Prince Albert," Lite., and then proceeded to the toast of "The other Members of the Royal Family," in giving which he congratulated himself, on the peesence of so distinguished a member of the Royal family as his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who sat upon Ins rieht hand. His lordsh:p concluded by giving " The Health of the Duke of Cambridge and the other Mem bers of the Royal Family." (Cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR gave, with an appropriate eulo gium, " The Army and Navy." (The Earl of Lucart's name was placed opposite to this toast in the list, but the duty of responding to it was ultimately allotted to the Duke of Cambridge.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in returning thanks, ex pressed hie conviction that no man could speak with greater sincerity or greater knowledge of the merits of the army than the individual who then had the honour of addressing them. As a soldier he felt that Ire owed everything to the army of which he was a member, and that no words of his could do that army justice. What ever might be the difference of public opinion as to cer tain points in the conduct of the war, he believed there was no difference as to the merits of the soldiers and sailors concerned. He hoped and trusted and believed —although on that matter he knew as much, and no more, than the cempany,around him—perhaps less than some of them—but, speaking without any authority, he hoped and trusted that they were on the eve, he might say, of peace, and if that peace should arrive, and be satisfactory, it would be to our soldiers and sailors we should owe the advantage. (Cheers.) The LORD lkiksort said that the next toast he had to propose involved a compliment to the Government which had been called to office for the purpoSe of carrying out the almost unanimous wish, of the people. The Govern ment had carried on the war vigorously, and with vigour would demand proper conditions of peace. He had, therefore, great pleasure in proposing the healthy of her Majesty's Ministers. (Cheers.) Lord WODEHOUSE returned thanks, and apologised for the absence of the Earl of Clarendon—absent upon the most responsible of public duties ; for if the responsibi-, lity of going to war was great, the responsibility of con ) eluding ayeace was not less so. He trusted that the ) Paris negotiations would, have such a result as should win the Approbation of the country. The next toast was ""he House of Lords." , Lord MONTEAGLE returned thanks. Sir J. - PAKINGTON gave the health of the Lord Mayor, with a warm compliment upon the manner in which hie lordship discharged the duties of his office. The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, observed that he could hardly complain of reform, being himself, as it were, the very emblem of innovation. In the corpora tion they did not dread nor oppose the reform of proved abuses, anti while he held office he should endeavour to render its functions as efficient and pure as possible. After one or two further observations his lordship con cluded by giving " Mr. Gladstone and the House of Commons." Mr. GLADSTONE said that his, lordship bad done him an honour of which he was not worthy in selecting ,him to:*teturn thanks for the toast which had just been pro posed ; for in his opinion, it was an honour in which any man, however eminent, might take delight to be called on in such au assemblage as he saw around him, to return thanks for such an institution as the House of Commons. (Hear.) Whatever faults or whatever virtues that house might have they were pre-eminently English, and repre sented tne greatnesses and defects of the national charac ter, while at the same time they were inseparably con nected with the stre►gth and progress of the country. During the last two years the House of Commons had to discharge a painful function in adding to the burthens of the country ; but he trusted that the people were of opinion that the house had been justified in voting freely and liberally the large sums for a war undertaken for no purpose of aggrandisement, but solely in the cause of honesty, humanity, and justice. The health of the Lady Mayoress followed ; and after one or two other toasts, the company returned to the drawl ng-room. PEUSSIA AND THE CONFERENCES. The Nord, of Saturday, has the following article : " The participation of Prussia in the Paris Congress is a fact of great political importance and a high moral result (d'une haute moralite). It assures and guaran tees the re-establishment of peace, indicates once again the rank to,which that Power le entitled in the council of nations, and sanctions the honourable and straight forward policy it has followed since the origin of the re grettable coeflict which now approaches its termination. " When one or more individuals come'to blows to settle a quarrel it is not an uncommon thing to see them fall upon him who refuses to throw a new element of dis cord between them, and who confines himself to addres sing them in words of peace, and to exhort them to make mutual concessions. Bat when the reconciliation does take place distrust and prejudice vanieb, and make place in their minds for a just appreciation of their rights and of their reciprocal duties. They then thank him for his moderation, and they only esteem him the more if he can prove to them that it was not without difficulty or danger that he was enabled to maintain to the end a strict impartiality and equal good-will to each. Such is, we belieie, the feeling with which Prussia is now admitted to the Paris Conferences. " Since the commenceraent of the war the Prussian Government 'found itself placed in a most difficult and deli Cate position. On the one hand it had to resist the current of public opinion, the entreaties of France, and the threats of England ; and, on the other hand, it had to avoid the reefs which a skilful policy continually put in its way in the German Confederation. It bad, finally, to resist the opposed tendenciei of its own parties, one of which urged. it to act `against RUssia, and, another against the Western Powers. The Prus sian Government enly succeeded in surmounting' all these obstacles by the greatist frankness- and sti'aight forwardness. It did not promise to any party what it never intended to fulfil, but it fulfilled towarde each more than it ever promised. Its action was at noies , but effective ; and ttespite the insults-heaped upon itOattysie the English press, it laboured with as mnbh dignity as perseverance towards the work which is now being ac complished at Paris.' Ae) long as the chances of war still hovered over this work the exclusion of Prussia, so peremptorily demanded by England, was in some degree natural and logical, but from the moment the chapter of the blessings of peace was te be discussed her place at the Congress was marked out. " Russia was the first to ask thit she should be in vited to join, and it appears that it was in the most flattering terms for Prussia, and for the Minister who knew so well how to execute the orders of his sagacious Sovereign, that Count Waleiveki sent the invitation to Baron von Manteuffel in the name of the Congress. We never doubted the result, but still it is satisfactory to be able to state it. France and Russia, who had shown themselves the most powerful, as they were the most noble champions on the battle-field, could not evidently shake hands after the struggle except on one ground-- that of good faith, on which ground they necessarily met Prussia, who, as we have seen, had thereon main tained herself since the commencement of hostilities with unshaken firmness. "This, we repeat it, is a most highly moral result, as it proves that States, like individuals, never lose by suit ing the action to the ward, and that in our days a true policy consists leas in turning more or less skilful or ready means, honest or not, to advantage, than by speak ing out one's thoughts honestly and frankly. " In its superannuated traditions diplomacy is but the faithful reflection of the epoch which gave it birth. Hos tility being then the normal state of the relations of na tions with each other, as well as of individuals, every man, sure to find in his neighbour an enemy or a rival, neces sarily placed between his thoughts and his words the dis tance which separates falsehood from truth, and was so distrustful that he never let his left hand know what his right hand did. But, in our days, when men and ❑atiaus live in a community of interests, of ideas, and of sentiments, Heaven be praised, such principles are no longer possible. Diplomacy was then a weapon ;it is now a means. It was formerly used to conquer' an enemy ; henceforth it will be used to increase the num ber of one's friends. New wants haVe created new prin ciples, but if the age has proclaimed them, no public act has as yet given them that moral sanction, that power of a decided question, which must render its application universal among all civilised nations, and which the Congress of Paris is perhaps called upon to give them. . " What is most satisfactory, therefore, in this result which Prussia has just obtained, and which must gladdeta every honest heart, is that it proves that a straightfor ward and sincere policy is net only the most honour able, but also the most profitable. In fact, Prussia has just achieved two great successes with one blow, of which one is the complement of the other. She has proved to Europe that her strength as a European Power is derived chiefly from her being essen tially a German Power ; and Germany must be con vinced that the interests which Prussia represents abroad are essentially German interests, and that, as well on account of her armed power as by her upright and energetic policy, ■he is more capable than any other of shielding and defending them, as well in the moments ,of crisis and general perturbation as in the pacific councils of Europe. Prussia has obtained this result without offending Russia, without quarrelling with Franco and England, and this simply by following an honest and disinterested policy. Thus, when, after the conclusion of peace, international relations will have resumed their natural course, her friendship will be eagerly sought for, because her word can be trusted. " Prussia has not, therefore, whatever may have been said to the contrary, fallen from her estate as a great Power."

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM THE SOUTHAMPON NEW Gaor,.—On Monday last a man named Anderson, one of the prisoners confined in the new gaol, made a daring and successful attempt to escape by means almost rival ling those recorded of Caleb Williams. Anderson, who appeared to be a travelling thief, was about two months since committed for trial at the quarter sessions for pick ing pockets. Since his confinement be has been suffering from rheumatism, which renders his escape the more ex traordinary. It appears that the prisoner succeeded about noon on Monday in opening the cell door hy means of the plate used to denote his gaol number, hav ing previously by some clever method prevented the lock from catching, various marks on the door bearing witness to the violent exertions which he must ,have used. Gaining access to the corridor, he was enabled unobserved to pass through the door leading into the yard used for the exercise of the prisoners. Here a num ber of workmen had been employed in the erection of a building intended to contain a treadmill and crank wheel for the prisoners sentenced to hard labour, and the pri• Boner was lucky enough to arrive here just as the whole of theta hai gone to dinner. Having procured from this building a shovel, he heaped up a quantity of earth, and having placed upon it a mortar-board to secure a good foundation, he placed upon it a scaffold board, which, when in nearly an upright position, reached to within a few feet of the top of the wall. A short ladder enabled him without difficulty to ascend to a distance of about two-thirds of the scaffold board, the remainder of which he climbed in an exceedingly clever manner, balancing himself with the greatest skill until he reached a suffi cient height to enable him to gain the top of the wall, having attained which, he dropped himself down on the other side and escaped. The tine occupied in all these operations was exceedingly short, and the prisoner could not have been at any great distance when his escape was discovered ; but notwithstanding every exertion has been used to discover his whereabouts, not the slightest trace of him has yet been discovered. —.Hampshire Inde pendent. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION AS THE CAUSE OP FIRE AT COVENT•GARDEN TNEATBE.—R was stated by Mr. Thomas Grieve, the scene painter, that he had always considered the little property-room a dangerous place. Oil was used by the property-men. It WAS 10t so much Used by scene-painters. He once returned to Covent ! garden Theatre, after a long absence, and found in one spot a heap of rubbish, chiefly of sweepings from the painting-room. When the property-man was about to remove it, it began to smoulder and emit heat. had such rubbish been allowed to lie in any part of the " shop," it would be quite sufficient to lead to the fire, under the circumstances which had been detailed. To understand the importance of this theory of the cause of the fire, would demand a long statement of many well-ascertained facts as to a curious subject which requires even further investigation. Incendiarism is too diabolical an act to be credited as the cause of fires in every instance ; and enoug h may be stated in a f ew wor d s h ere t o show the importance of the general question, and its application to the present case. Cotton waste, oily rags, tow, and saw-dust may all be placed in such positions, or near such other substances as may cause them to ignite. The result foes not occur invariably, as in the better known instances of chemical action ; but it occurs positively, in certain cases, which are the source of greater danger because of the uncertainty. Tow is constantly used in theatres for stuffing figures and various other purposes, especially about the pantomime season. Saw-dust, Mr. Braidwood states that he has seen catch fire from the breakage of one of the flasks of Florence oil in the packages used, just at the time It when the sun was shining in that direction. It is worth remarking, though perhaps not applying to the present case, that a carpenters' shop is lighted by sky lights,—The Builder. .NICHOLAIEFF. A. letter from Nicholaieff, in the Meniteur de la Flotte, gives some details of what is going on at present at that place, which seems not to allow any doubt to be entertained of the intentions of the Russian government respecting that port : " Two days back a commission, composed of five per sons, and presided over by one of the heads of the Board of Admiralty, arrived herd from St. Petersburg, charged with the task of taking an inventory of all that the dockyards and arsenal contained. It was received in due form by Captain Schigir, of the Russian Navy, for merly secretary to the Board of Admiralty of the Mack Sea, now dissolved, and at once commenced its opera tions. The Grand Duke Constantine is, it is said, to arrive here in a few days to inspect the proceedings of the commission. The materiel lying in this cau -1 blishment considered capable of being turned to ac count is to be transperted to the Baltic, after having been classified and duly marked down in the books of the commission. Already, all the utensils for ms nufacturing gunpowder and the raatzrials from the artillery depot have been loaded on carts belonging to the military baggage-train, and are to set out without delay. The navy school for the sons of the nobility ; the school of maritime engineers ; and that of the naval artillery are already evacuated. Similar . measures are to be applied to Kherson. That port, though shore of its former splendour, still contains some fine establish. ments belonging to the imperial navy, which are now to cease to exist. The commission has received orders to proceed there, and to include that place in its labours. In addition, in order to correspond with all the►s mea sures, the (Minces and arsenals of Otchakoff, Ovidlopol, Ters.ipol, and Vosnesensk, and other fortified points, of that zone established to co-operate with the idea in virtue of which Sebastopol and Nicolaieff were created, are about to be notably distinguished. No one can pre• cisely say what Nicolaieff will become after its being thus abandoned by the war-establishments. It is said that, in spite of the representations of Odessa, it will be declared a free per, in order to attract there the trade eel! nations. It is also said that a university is to be established there for the young men of the rich familiar of the Tanrida. Already, the Academy of Soi-inces of St. Petersburg has proposed to establish there an astro nomical observatory of the sedond class, and a meteoro logical one of the first, tke country being exceedingly favourable for such establishments." CENSURE ON RUSSIAN GENERALS. A. letter from St. Petersburg of the 15th says : " The Invalide Russe announces to day that the Emperor, having been informed that the battalions which were sent from the division of the depot of the 6th corps d'arm6e in 185 i, to complete the troops in the Crimea, were not properly armed, and were unfit to continue their march, published an order of the day on the subject on the 12th. In that document the Emperor severely ()ensures, Ist, Gen. Marine, who coctunands the depot, for having neglected to superintent the prver execution of the orders given by his sup)• riors, by which negligence the troops were impeded in their march ; and 2dly, Gen. Yen Brine, the chief of the staff of all the reserves and depots, fer having only in spected the said battalions in a very superficial manner, previously to their departure from Moscow. The Tri bunal of War, after having decided the degree of cul pability and participation in the defective equipment of the said battalienist of the persons in command of the depot division of the 6th corps-d'ermee, sentence them to the punishment prescribed Ly the law. This announcement has produced a considerable sensation in this city. For some time past remarkable changes have been going on is the Russian army. Not only will the uncomfortable helmets make way for the French kepi, but the coats will be supplanted by the poloukaf tan, a sort of frock imitated from the French. The war has occasioned great changes in the arms as in the general regulations. The Russian soldier will still preserve the long grey greatcoat, which is a comfortable dress, and protects him well against the severity of the climate ; and the Russian army is at present being or ganised after the plan of that of Napoleon I.

A NICE PAROCHIAL QUESTION. —In a north-country question of parochial liability under the poor law, $ problem arises for solution. A man and woman, con cerned in the matter, were at the altar, and a clergyman was making them one flesh ; when having uttered th• words— With this ring I thee wed, .he demon of rhyme seized hold of the bridegroom, and prompted him to add the line : With this fist I'll break thy head ! Nis reverence turned away in disgust ; and the couple went their way, and lived together as man and wife, But are they man and wife? Parish officers are divided on the paint, and the lawyers hope to be "called in." —Gateshead Observer. THE EMPRESS AND HER ACCOUCHEML—If I am well informed, the Empress's state of health is, upon the whole, as favourable as the case admits of. She remains exceedingly weak, but is gradually recovering from the sufferings of her confinement. It is rumoured that M. Dubois is to receive 500,000 f., not only for his services, but to compensate him for the fearful anxiety of mind he underwent when it became inevitable that violent means must be resorted to to bring about the birth. The poor Empress for hours believed that every moment would be herlast, and never ceased recommending her soul to the in tercession of the saints ; and this conviction upon his Im• perial patient's part, of course doubled the responeibili ties and the nervousness of M. Dubois; consequently it is held that 20,000/. (the relative dearness of the two epochs well considered, too), is no more than the equivalent in 1856, fur the 10,0001. awarded in 1811 to his father, for his attendance upon the Empress Marie Louise, at the birth of thelKing of Rome.—Paris Correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. T H E EIGHTEEN INCH M OR TAL—LIVERPOOL, March 24.—Abeut eleven o'clock this forenoon considerable sensation was created in Castle-street, in front of the Town-hall, by the appearance of a very unusual proces sion. This consisted of a ponderous truck, drawn by 11 horses, on which was placed a huge cast-iron mortar. The dimensions of this gigantic piece of ordnance are of unusual magnitude. It is of IS-inch bore, and is 7 feet 6 inches in length. The diameter of the mortar externally is three feet nine inches, and across the trunnions at the breech it measures six feet seven inches, and in its finished state weighs 141 tons ; when cast, and before it was turned or bored, it weighed 25 tons. This enormous projectile engine is a beautiful casting, and in the opinion of competent judges it reflects great credit on the re sources and skill of Messrs. Foster and Co., of the Vaux hall Foundry. The truck containing the mortar was fol lowed by two large flat waggons, each drawn by tw horses and containing 20 shells cast for the mortar. o These are ponderous missiles, each 18 inches in diameter, and three inches thick at the hole for the fusee. The mortar with its 40 modicums •f iron food were being conveyed from the foundry to the Wapping Station of the London and North-Western Railway to be trans ferred to the Royal Arsenal at 'Woolwich. The metal of which the mortar has been cast is that known as charcoal iron, and was made at the Acadian Iron Works, Nova Scotia. THE BLOCKADE IN THE BALTIC. On the 14th inst. the steam-frigate Sampson, 6, Capt. Brook, left Faro Sound with despatches for the senior officer (Capt. Watson, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Im perieuse, 51) and letters from the advanced squadron, and at 2 p,m. of the next day the Imperieuse and Py lades, 21, Capt. D'Eyncourt, got under way for a cruise in the Gulf of Finland. The day was beautifully fine, with a gentle breeze from the north-west ; thermometer at 26 deg. Fahrenheit. Faro Sound was completely frersn over, but the two vessels made their way through it without any difficulty. On getting outside they found the sea perfectly smooth and the weather most agree able, but towards sunset it became very cold ; sail was shortened and furled, and the two ships went on towards the old cruising ground, where one of them bad weathered so many storms during this war. About 9 a.m. detached pieces of ice were seen floating about, and two or three large floes passed during the night. The main body of the ice was not, however, fallen in with until about 5.30 a.m. of Sunday, when from that time to 10 a.m. the ships passed through about 30 miles of it ; the morning WAS ushered in by a magnificent sunrise. To one look ing from the island of Dago perhaps the most interesting part of the scene would have been the solitary ships moving through a sea of ice, and spurning the obstacles ' which name in their way. At 7 a.m. the Imperieuse encountered two small vessels from, Lubeck so itnbedded in ice that it was impossible for them to proceed to their destination or return whence they came. The history of their move ments for the previous six weeks is somewhat curious, and proves that, instead of a brisk trade having been car ried on between Russia and other countries (as was so confidently asserted in England), the Russian ports have positively been inaccessible to any sort •f vessel wkat ever. These brigs left Lubeck on tie Ist of February, and on the lath, when 15 miles from Port Baltic, were compelled to return in consequeace of a firm barrier of ice, through which it was impossible for them to pene trate. On the 7th of March they again started, but, in- stead of getting within 15 miles of their port, they are now frozen in at least 170 miles from it, with no pros pect of getting liberated for the next three weeks. After communicating wth these vessels a light, breeze sprang up from the N.W., and, taking advantage of the channel which the Imperieuse and Pylades had made in the ice, the Lubeckeri followed in their wake, vainly hoping for a way to be made for them out of their "fix ;" but they had not gone many miles when, from. the firm and com pact state of the ice, and not being able from the mast head to see any open water, the senior officer most judi ciously determined on not penetrating further, which the brigs perceiving, rounded to again, and in all pro bability will have to wait till a general break up takes place. Sail was now made, and, passing Dago at about eight miles' distance, the Inaperieuse stood down the Baltic, passed Oesel about sunset, and was off the coast of Courland at 8 a.m. on Monday, the 17th inst.; passed within 10 miles of Windau, and, sailing along parallel to the coast, was off Libau at sunset and arrived at Dantzic at 11.30 p.m. of the 18th, and left for Faro after com pleting coal.
