A large scope has been given to this enthu siasm in the reprcs4ve measures which the authority had the power and the right to take, in order to allow the agitation time to subside. But the Emperor has not wished to restrict his • indul gence to these limits. The solemn act, of emanci pation inaugurated by the manifesto of the 19th of February, attests the profound solicitude which uur august master devotes to the well-being of the peoples whom Providence has confided to him. Russia and Europe have seen in it a proof that, far from from evading or postponing reforms demanded. by the progress o f id eas a n d of interests, his Impe rial Majesty takes the initiative and pursuesit with perseverance. Our august master 'extends the same solicitude to his subjects of the kingdoni of Poland, and has not wished that a painful impres sion should arrest the course of his generous in tentions.

They sent the sailors of the navy to these homes when they went on shore for a night, and it was only fair that as they were of use to the naval service they should receive some contribution from the public funds. But he did not think it would be right that they should establish sailors' homes in mercantile ports, of which the Admiralty had no use whatever. [Capt. JERVIS—OnIy where there was a naval reserve.] He was happy to say that there was a naval reserve volunteer force along the whole coast. He stated the other night that men were entering at the rate of 100 a week, but they were now entering at the rate of 150, and he had no doubt that they should have a large body of reserves at the end of the year. He had sympathy for any thing that would assist the formation of sailors' homes throughout the country, but he concurred in the opinion expressed by his right hon. friend, that it would be rather disadvantageous to sailors' homes if they were to receive a Government subsidy, because the charity which they now received from individuals would probably be diverted to other objects if it was known that they were receiving aid from the Government. (Hear.) Sir H. STRACEY !arid that he never mentioned the word subsidy. What he contended for was that sailors' homes were worthy of encouragement and support. After the expression of opinion which had been elicited, he should withdraw the motion for the present, but with an intention to bring it forward again under some other guise. (Hear.) The motion was then withdrawn. ARMY STORES. SPURTING NOTES. a mistake and fell, leaving the lead with the Premier, hav ing the favourite, Brine, and Horror lying close up, Melody being last.! No change occurred in this order of running until reaching the lane, which they jumped into, but re fused the fence out, and ran some distance before they were got over. Brine, however, was more fortunate, as he got safely over and obtnined a decided lead, followed by Ban tam and Melody, but without a chance of reaching the leader, who won in a canter by 30 lengths, a like distance between the second and third. Premier was stopped and walked home. The Epsom Spring Meeting commences to-morrow, and will afford the Londoners two excellent days' sport. Stab ling is engaged for a large number of horses, and " War prices" regulate the demand for lodgings. No " shortcom ings" can by any possibility mark the meeting, for Mr. Dorling, as usual, has made every provision for the accom modation of both bipeds and quadrupeds, and so far as the executive department . is concerned, the arrangements will be complete. The course is in capital order; it is not only well covered with herbage, but it is light and elastic to the tread. The refreshment department of the Grand Stand will, as usual, be under the management of Messrs. Jaquet and Woodroffe, and Mr. Careless will pitch his tent on the old familiar spot to the right of that building. Barnard's Stand has been greatly improved; it has been enlarged, and, by "bricking," its solidity has been insured. Mr. Ten Broeck's horses will stop at Mr. Mellish's, whose stables are engaged for three of Lord Portsmouth's, three of Mr. Sutton's, two of Young King's, and two or three of Woolcot's. At R. Sherwood's, jun., the horses under the care of T. Cliffe, T. Taylor, R. Cotton, and Hay hoe, will be located. The Dawsons' lot will take up their abode at Woodcote Green, where stabling has been engaged by Lord Stamford, the brothers Tom and Joe Dawson and John Osborne. At R. Sherwood's, sen.,3lr. Merry's horses will be stabled, and also the French division under the care of T. Jennings. Sir J. Hawley's horses will be accommo dated at Mr. Weston's farm on the Downs ; and at Reeve's, amongst others, will be Fobert's and Lord Coventry's lot.' The programme, which contains 12 ite'ms, presents its old familiar features, and is likely to furnish more than the usual abundance of sport. The City and Suburban Handi cap, which has quite superseded the Metropolitan Stakes in the turf market, is the' event which will have the most at traction for the masses on the first day, and its popularity amongst owners of horses, and the excellence of the ham cap, are attested by the fact that of the 159 subscif6ers 54 declared forfeit, and by the certainty that a field num bering about 30 competitors will be brought to the post. Amongst the probable starters will be the following : NEW NOVEL. On Friday, in 3 vols., HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. LLA FOR THE BEST. A STORY OF A QUIET LIFE. Hurst ct Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Colburn, 3, Great Marlborough -street. HOLSTEIN. The Earl of ELLENBOROU GH said about three weeks ago he had asked a question of the noble lord opposite with respect to Holstein. The noble lord had given a very full and satisfactory answer, but a portion of it had been mis understood by some persons, an he had no doubt the noble lord would be glad of the opportunity of making an expla nation. The noble lord had stated that intelligence had been received that morning, to the effect that a concession had been made by the Government of Den mark in accordance with the advice of this and some other Governments, and that it was &aided to submit the whole budget to the States of Holstein. He considered this to mean that the whole part of that budget relating to Hol stein was to be submitted to that State, but the statement of the noble lord had been misinterpreted. Lord WODEHOUSE said he was glad of the opportu nity, in order to explain that part of his speech that had been misunderstood. When he stated the whole budget had been submitted to Holstein, he referred to the quota of the budget to be contributed by Holstein. As he had been speaking of this quota all through his speech, he had some times referred to it shortly as the budget; but, knowing that the advice given by the Government had related simply to the Holstein quota of the budget, he could not have said , that it related to the whole budget. He much regretted that his observations had been misunderstood; he, however, did not think that he had made the mistake that had been attributed to him.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses.

BERKELEY gave notice that on this day fort night he would move for leave to bring in a bill for the protection of the electors by the adoption of vote by ballot at elections for,members of Parliament. PURCHASE IN THE ARMY. Lord STANLEY asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what steps had been, or are being taken, to abolish purchase in the army above the rank of Major, as recom mended by the Commission of 1856. Mr. BARING said that the Government were anxious to see how the new system that had been introduced worked before they proposed any additional alterations. SAILORS' HOMES. Sir H. STRACEY moved, that, in the opinion of this hoivap, thA e.tabliahnaout of Sailors' Homers had been so conducive to the benefit of seamen, and, consequently, of so great national importance, as to be deserving of the support and encouragement of the Legislature. In bringing forward this motion, he begged the per mission of the house to niake a few observations on this subject. The sailors' homes had considerably im proved the physical and moral condition of sailors, as was proved to the satisfaction of those conversant with their present state and their status prior to the establishment of these institutions. They had also materially contributed to the efficient manning of the navy. There were 31 of these sailors' homes in the kingdom, of which only six received assistance from Government, the remainder being supported by voluntary contributions. He contended that this state of things was not consistent with the'duty and the interests of a great maritime nation in reference to these sailors, to whom they were so deeply indebted for their commercial prosperity. To show the benefits resulting from these institutions he mentioned the fact that from one of them last year no less than £30,000 had been transmitted to the relatives of sailors through the medium of the savings bank in connection with the establishment — which except for its existence might have been squandered in dissipation or stolen by the class of unprincipled persons who prey on the unsuspecting nature of mariners. These institutions were also valuable in succouring shipwrecked mariners. Several thousands of them had been rescued from suffering or death through their agency ; but in carry ing out this benevolent object they were not provided with adequate funds, notwithstanding the great benevolence displayed by private individuals towards the main tenance of these institutions. Having drawn a graphic picture of the crimp, and adverted to the description of Captain Hall, R.N., relative to the injurious influence of this class on sailors, he stated that when these Homes were established the " crimp " disappeared. He next referred to the authority of the Admiralty in verification of his assertion as to the benefit of these institutions in the more effectual manning of the Royal Navy, and contended that, as he must be a ♦ery bold politician who would predict positively peace for six months longer, anything that would conduce towards that result must be of the greatest importance, and entitled to national encouragement. (Hear.) It might be objected that the motion was brought forward merely for the purpose of obtaining money from the Treasury, but he reminded the house that there existed what was called the Merchant Seamen's Fund, to which sailors had extensively contributed. There was a surplus of £66,662 arising out of that fund, of which over £57,0300 was in the hands of • the Government, and he argued that the I applica tion of some portion of this surplus towards the sup port of these institutions would be more legitimate and useful. He next adverted to the extent of the recent disasters at sea to show how desirable it would be to extend the operation of these institutions, and concluded by a laudatory allusion to the great services rendered by sailors to commerce and the protection of the country. Admiral WALCOTT seconded the motion, and earnestly imt ortaned the Government to give attention to the sub ject, and to act with liberality towards institutions that were calculated to promote the interests of the sailors, and to provide for the defence of the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. GIBSON said he believed the house would con cur in a great portion of the statement of the hon. baronet who brought forward this motion, and he agreed with him in what he had said with reference to the benefits of these institutions and the benevolence of those who supported them. He believed, however, that the House would hesitate before they pledged themselves to a resolution to subsidise the country for the support of the sailors' homes that might be established. Notwithstanding the fund to which the hon. baronet referred, it would be found that if the house agreed to this resolution it would be found necessary to come to the consolidated fund for the assistance towards their institutions. There was no class of labourers who were better paid than sailors, and none who could more easily obtain more regular employment, and he believed, as regarded these institutions, he thought they would succeed much better under the effects of voluntary contributions and local control than they would under Government sup port and influence. From inquiries he instituted he ascer tained that sailors:were not generally so deficient in means of obtaining good and comfortable lodgings when on shore, and, considering all circumstances, he felt bound to nega tive the motion of the hon. baronet. Mr. HENLEY agreed to the statement of the hon. gentleman (Mr. M. Gibson) as to the injurious influence of Government connection with these institutions.' At the same time he denied that sailors were the best paid class of skilled labourers in the country. Mr. M. GIBSON said that what he meant to state was that they were a well paid class. Mr. HENLEY denied that even that were the case, but at the same time objected to a subsidy. Mr. LINDSAY also objected to any subsidy, and con. tended that the sailor was very well paid. Mr. KINNAIRD hoped that the hon. baronet would not press his motion, as in the present state of the finances hopes might be excited which could not be realised. Lord C. PAGET said that the Admiralty subscribed Sir G. BONVYER moved that or, any division when the house is in committee of supply, as soon as the voices have been taken the doors be closed immediately after strangers have withdrawn; the object being to prevent votes being given on motions made on those occasions by members who are absent from the house, and are brought in in great numbers in the interval now allowed before the divisions are taken. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that if tie motion was carried it would be in effect advantageous to the Government in divi sions in committee of supply ; but he thought that if this practice was established in the case of committee of supply, it must be extended to other divisions. Besides which the rule might easily be evaded, by members coming in a few minutes before the division, who would not have heard or taken part in the debate. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that this motion would abro gate the rule by which two minutes elapsed before putting the question, and the division ; which arose thus. In 1852, when the question of free trade and protection was put to the vote, he and several members who had not intended to vote at all were shut in and compelled to take part in the division. It was to prevent surprises like this that the late Mr. Muntz induced the house to make the salutary rule which now prevailed. • Mr. BASS said that the motion was an imputation on the members of the house. It contracted their right of voting ; and the question was whether every member was bound to listen to all the speeches, good, bad, and indif ferent, which were delivered, under penalty of losing his right to vote. After some observations from Colonel FRENCH, the mo tion was about to be withdrawn; when Mr. V. SCULLY objected to its withdrawal ; and it was negatived. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Mr. LOCKE moved for copies of the general cash ac count of the Metropolitan Boardof Works from the Ist day of January 1856 to the 25th day of March, 1857. The returns were ordered. BURFORD CHARITIES. Mr. LO WE moved forleave tc bring in a bill for confirm • ing a scheme of the Charity Uommissioners for certain charities in the town and parish 9f Burford, in the county of Oxford. GUILDFORD HOSPITAL. Mr. LOWE moved also for leave to bring in a bill for confirming a scheme of the Charity Commissioners for the Hospital of the Blessed Trinity, at Guildford, in the county of Surrey, and its subsidiary endowments. READING CHARITIES. Mr. LOWE also moved for leave to bring in a bill for confirming a scheme of the Charity Commissioners for cer tain charities in the borough of Reading. TEMPLE BALSALL HOSPITAL. Mr. LO WE likewise moved for leave to bring in a bill to confirm a scheme of the Charity Commissioners for the Hos pital of Lady Katherine Leveson, at Temple Balsall, in the county of Warwick. Leave was given in each case, and the bills were brought in and read a first time. POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL. On the order of the day for this bill as amended to be considered, An HON. MEMBER objected to the centralising principle of the bill, to the prejudice of Dublin and Edinburgh, and entirely in favour of London. He moved to leave out the word " office" and insert " offices," The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the amendment, instead of improving the bill, would make it a great deal worse. Nothing oould be more absurd than creating three centres of investment. What he understood was that these moneys should rin in the same course as those transmitted through the noney-order offices. He would take care that the bill was made conformable to that idea. At the same time it wac quite evident that the whole operation must be performed at a central office. After a few observations from Mr. VANCE, expressing satisfaction with the explanation the Chancellor of the Exchequer, clause 1 was amended by striking out the words "in London." The bill was ordered to be read s third time on Thursday next. THE LONDON COAL AND WINE DUES CON- TINUANCE BILL. This bill was committed pro fcrma, and ordered to be committed on Friday next.. THE ROYAL MARINE BARRACKS (EAST: STONEHOUSE, DEVON) BILL. This bill passed through committee. The house adjourned at twenty minutes to eight o'clock. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. An inquest was held yesterday on the bodies of I some of the persons drowned in the canal on Satur day night. It was adjourned at 6 o'clock, and is to be resumed this morning at 11 o'clock. So far as the evidence has gone, no blame is attached to the driver and conductor of the omnibus. Both were proved to have been quite sober at the time, and they bore the character of steady, careful men. It was usual to stop for the purpose of letting out passengers on the top of the bridge, where there is barely room for the wheels on the level spot between the inclines. The omnibus stopped before it quite reached the top, and almost immediately began to run back. During this pro cess, which occupied only three or four minutes, the efforts of the driver had the effect of turning the horses' heads towards Rathmines, and they thus backed into the canal. The conductor remained behind the omnibus most of the time, the omnibus door being shut. One of the witnesses believed there was " plenty of time" to open it ; but none of the passengers was heard asking to have it opened. The wooden railing, had it been sound, might have saved the passengers ; but the portion in the ground was quite rotten, and gave way like paper. It was put' a utupprointeacntiy years ago, and was merely intended as on to foot passengers, and never could, in the opinion of one witness, have resisted the weight and force of the omnibus. If the railing had been iron, as it should have been, no lives would have been lost. Dr. Monks, who was on the spot early, and, the coroner said, exerted himself in a most praiseworthy manner, stated that the lamp on the bridge was " disgracefully dim• ," and that the bridge is always badly lighted. When the omnibus 'fell in it was but half covered wi▪ th water. Had the lower gates been opened immediately to let off the water in the chamber, some of the lives might have been saved. But it was about 20 minutes before this was done, as the lockman had to be sought, and when he appeared he refused to open the lower gates, because the upper sluice was partly open, and he wished to shut that first. He seems to have been stupified in the confusion that pre vailed, but the Coroner said that nothing on the evidence showed him to be culpable. At length Mr. Joseph. Burke, C.V., opened the lower gates, but before this was done the top of the omnibus was covered; and when the bodies , six in number, were taken out, they were all dead, half the time suffic ing to drown them. It did not appear from the evidence that any of the victims cried out when precipitated into the dreadful abyss. The shock and the terror seem to have struck them dumb be fore they were suffocated by the water. In the darkness they probably hardly knew where they were exactly till the last fatal moment.

East Sheen, 3 yrs, sst 91b Mantrap, 3 yrs, sst 91b Speculation on the race has not taken a very wide range, and indeed up to the present time the betting on all the Spring Handicaps has been limited to only a few horses. The leading places in the list of quotations are now filled by First Lord, Physician, Thunderbolt, Pancake, the Giraffe filly, East Sheen, Sir William, Benbow, and the French horse, Gabrielle d'Estrees. Thunderbolt is a great striding horse, and ought to finish well forward, but Ido not think he will quite win. Fizst Lord and Benbow are both good horses, and the distance will exactly suit them. Apollyon finished third for this race last year, and if he comes to the post all right he ought to finish forward. The next that strikes my attention is Mer rimac, 4 yrs, 7st Ilb. It was reported that the horse was " gat at" for the Northamptonshire, and as the party to whom he belongs seldom make any mistake I shall not be against him. If he is backed on the day, I would recom mend those who wish to invest to follow suit. Tightfit is a speedy animal, and should not be lost sight of in a lot against the field. Dover has every appearance at present of being a " dead , 'un," the most tempting offers against him both in London and Manchester meeting with no response. General Hesse will probably be the represen tative of Godding's stable, and his fine speed will render the General a dangerous antagonist to the favourites. Amongst the three-year. olds, the most formidable will be found in Pancake, the Giraffe filly, Gabrielle d'Estrees, East Sheen, and Rupert. Pancake has been highly tried with Duneany and Tattoo, and as she is a smart, speedy filly, her chance is entitled to respect. The Giraffe filly is in superb condition, and if the Newmarket division have made no mistake she ought to get a place. Gabrielle d'Es trees has satisfied the Frenchmen in a private spin, and Pretendant is quite capable of telling them what chance she possesses for the race under notice. East Sheen is a big, powerful filly, exactly adapted to the Epsom course, but as she runs untried, your readers must form their own conclusions as to her merit, which I believe is far above mediocrity. Rupert can do anything he likes with Furious in private, and if supported in earnest by his clever party his chance would be equal to anything in the race, as he is not far removed from a first-class colt, when well. From the large field that is certain to be at the post it is almost impossible to select the absolute winner, but I hope in my final selection to be as fortunate as in the Northampton shire Stakes. The three that I would give the preference to are— THE GIRAFFE FILLY, GABRIELLE D'ESTREES, and BENBOW. The Two Year Old Stakes, which has secured 38 nomi nations, includes the names of several first .class animals. The best public performers are Estrelda and Bonnibelle, and one of theta ought to furnish the winner. In the Heathcote Plate I cannot find a better representa tive than Rockley, and the same remark applies to Von Stroom for the Inkerman Plate. On Friday will be decided the Metrorolitan Stakes, the establishment of which by the licensed victuallers of London some years ago first imparted an enduring vitality to the meeting. This race is not likely to attract so large a field as its younger and more popular rival, the City and Suburban ; but, nevertheless, it NI ill not be regarded with indifference. The betting on it has been extremely limited. Danae and Betts are now the leading favourites, and almost the only animals which the public seem inclined to back. Danae, after her easy victory at Northampton, has been installed first favourite, but if the same game is to be played at Epsom as was done at Northampton, the public had better let Lord Coventry's mare alone. Half an hour before the race, his lordship had fully made up his mind to scratch the filly unless the parties who had got the money about her allowed him to stand in. At this time as much as 15 to .l could have been had about Danae, but an ar rangement having been effected, the mare in a few minutes returned to the position of first favourite. Betts will represent John Scott's stable, and will cause the favourite some uneasiness. The French division have a good horse in Pretendant. The race will be so affected by the result of the City and Suburban that it is difficult to form an opinion of the probable starters ; but if Lord Coventry's party back DANAE in earnest she shall alone do battle for me. In her absence I would retain BETTS. The New Two Year Old Stakes has 33 subscribers. Among the nominations are King of Hearts, Paradox, and Bonnibelle, and I prefer them in the order named. In the Walton Stakes Lord Stamford has Imaus And King of Hearts. As the latter is engaged in the New Two Year Old Stakes, his lordship may put his trust in Imaus—the only one who may lower his colours being Lady Clifden, who is fast_ regaining her two-year-old form.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Brine, 3 to 1 agst Bantam, 4 to 1 agst Queensferry. On the flag being lowered Melody started with a clear lead, followed by Horror, Alfred the Great, Bantam, and Brine, in the order we have given them, the others lying close up. After passing the cut fence out of the orchard adjoining the Spital road, Queens ferry rushed to the front, and went on with a strong lead ; the Premier going on second, Horror third, Bantam fourth ; then came Brine, Alfred the Great, and Melody. In this order they ran, without any material alteration, to the fence in the rear of the stand s which Alfred the Great Bleared in advance of Horror, who was followed by Brine and Bantam, the other three lying close up. On rounding the top turn Alfred the Great increased his lead, and cleared the water jump in the bottom two or three lengths first, fol lowed by the others in close order, the lot getting safely over with the exception of Queensferry, who " commenc ing" too early, jumped short, and fell on landing, and was not afterwards persevered with. On reaching the fence on the brow of the hill near the hovel, Alfred the Great made given them above. Little or no alterations occurred until elreiiii - g - the meadows at the far side, when. Guy Fawkes fell heavily at' the fence before reaching the lane, and was stopped. On passing the Stand Sledge-hammer still led, Grey Peter going on second, Jim Crow third, Old Ben Roe fourth, Harlequin fifth, Castanet next, The Badger last, in which position they remained until re- appearing in sight, when Grey Peter was observed at the girths of Sledge hammer, Jim Crow, with Old Ben Roe, side by side, lying three lengths off, and to this quartet the race was confined. Rounding the flag for home, Grey Peter obtained a slight lead, Old Ben Roe at the same time taking second place, the pair racing to the water jump together, which Grey Peter cleared in advance of the old horse, who dropped his quarters in, and won cleverly at last by four lengths; a bad third ; Jim Crow was fourth ; nothing else passed the post.

Gourd to the second fence, which was cleared cleverly, as also the succeeding ones, but on reaching the stake and bound in the rear of the stand, Shylock blundered and fell, but was speedily remounted and following on in the rear. As they passed the stand Escape, Savernake, and Hazard were at least upwards of twenty lengths ahead, Gourd heading the rear division, the last of whom was Shylock. On rounding the top of the hill Hazard passed Escape, Savernake lying third, but on reaching the lane Escape once more appeared in front, was never after caught, and won in a canter by ten lengths. Savernake was stopped at the brook and walked in, but did not pass the post ; Me tal, who passed him half-way up the hill, was third. The others came in some time after.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Oliver Twist, 4to 1 agst The Colonel, sto 1 each agst Sir Charles and Prince Charming, and 6 to 1 agst Bal arine. Ou settling into their places The Colonel took up the running, followed by Oliver Twist and Little Monkey, the others lying some distance in their rear, the last being Salt bill. On passing the hovel, at the foot of the hill, The Colonel, with the favourite at his side, were upwards of thirty lengths in advance of Little Monkey, who was third, Borderer being fourth, Glautias fifth, and Balzarine next. In this order they ran to the lane which Oliver Twist took first, followed by the Frenchman, Borderer, Little Monkey, and Glautias, Balzarine following next, and heading the rear division, which at this early period of the race ap peared outpaced and beaten. At the fence beyond Bor derer made a mistake, and came to grief, and returned to his stable; and at the water jump, which the leading horses cleared in brilliant style, Little Monkey fell and got his bridle off, and dragged Stevens some distance. Mr. Wood on Balzarine, by jumping to the left, just avoided land ing on the fallen horse and rider. On passing the Stand, The Colonel went on with the running, closely attended upon by Oliver Twist and Glautias. Then came, a long way behind, Balzarine, Prince Charming, and Salthill. The two latter refused the following fence, and were taken home, Balzarine following suit at the fence beyond. These mishaps left the race with the trio in front, The Colonel apparently going free and strong, having a slight lead, which he improved as they neared the orchard enclosure, jumping which he blundered and fell, and got away. Young Land, seeing the contretemps, made use of his advantage, followed by Glautias to the fence, after crossing the lane, when Oliver Twist struck a post, which knocked him out of his stride, and " let up" Glautias, who obtained a clear lead, was never after caught, and won in a trot. Oliver Twist on reaching the brook was so leg weary that he jumped into the centre of it, giving Johnny a cold bath. The others did not go to the course, and returned to their stables as best they could. BETTING AT, MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.

The creation of government and district councils and of mnnici4 pal councils, based upon the elective principle, assures to local interests the power of self-govern ment.

The practical results of these measures depend, however, upon 'the manner in which the subjects of the Emperor in the kingdom shall justify the con fidence of which his Majesty has given them the proof. The Emperor desires that that which he grants may be a reality. His Majesty believes that he has fulfilled a duty of conscientious solicitude in.open ing to the kingdom of Poland a way of progress. His liveliest desire is to see it maintain its position and prosper. He firmly believes that this•result will be attained, if his intentions Care appreciated and seconded by the wisdom of the country. Receive, &c., GORTCHAKOFF. TILE IVAR IN NEW ZEALAND. (From the Gazette of last Evening.) WAR- OFFICE, APRIL 9. A despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, have been received at the War-office from Major- General Pratt, C.B. : Head Quarters, Camp Waitara, New Zealand, 31st December, 1860. SlR,—Referring to my despatch of the 10th inst., I have the honour to report, for the information of his Royal High ness the General Commanding-in-Chief, that the excessive rains which had swollen the rivers, and rendered move ments impossible, having ceased, I was enabled to move out from New Plymouth on the 28th instant, for the purpose of attacking a large body of the enemy whi had occupied a very strong position at Matarikoriko, on the left bank of the Waitara, and not far from Huirangi. My force, after being joined by parties from the Waitara Camp and the other posts, amounted to 900 rank and file of all arms (as per accompanying detail), which was all I could collect. After leaving the town and other posts in a degree of security, and further required somo assistance from H.M.'s S. Cordelia, and H.M.'s Colonial S. Victoria, and I think it due to myself to mention this, in consequence of the great misstatements which are circulated in this colony as to the amount of force at my disposal for ag gressive movements. Having halted at the Waitara Camp, now my base of operation, I marched from thence at half-past three o'clock in the morning of the 29th inst., and reached liairau, oppo site the Matarikoriko Mound and Pah, and about 900 yards distant from it, at half-past six a.m., and proceeded to throw up an entrenched camp for the security of the troops during the subsequent operations / this was being done without moles ation until nine o'clock, and the troops were netting well under cover, when a very heavy fire was suddenly opened upon us from aline of skilfully-constructed rifle-pits, extending for about 690 yards, and not more than 190 yards from us, and running along the edge of a deep ravine between us and the Pah, having very precipitous banks, and at the bottom of which was a dense forest of high trees, and a deep swamp ; firing was also opened upon us front skirmishers in the high fern, on three sides of the entrenchment. This was promptly re turned by our skirmi s h ers, the main body of th e troops, and with shells from the 24-p oun d er howitzers; and a- parti cularly heavy fire was kept up incessantly on both sides until six o'clock in the evening; by which time our redoubt, which was constructing the whole time, having been' com pleted, it was garrisoned by 460 men, and the remainder of the troops returned to the Camp. Next morning (30th inst.), at daylight, on my troops, reaching the redoubt, I found that the enemy had kept up, a continued fire during the whole night, which had been as promptly returned ; but firing had ceased, and they had hoisted a white flag on the pah and rifle-pits, and I em ployed the troops in heightening and strengthening the redoubt during the day. On the 31st inst., at 31 a.m., I again marched out ; but, from information which reached me on the road, that the. enemy were leaving the Pah and long line of rifle• pits, and that, if not immediately occupied, they might be takenpos session of by a party of the enemy known to be moving up from the North, I at once sent an order to Colonel Wyatt, 65th Regiment, commanding the entrenchment, to ascer tain the fact, and to take possession without a moment's delay. This was done by a party of 200 men of the 65th Pvziment, and Naval Brigade, under Colonel Wyatt and Commodore Seymour, and on my force sighting the I Pah, I had the satisfaction of seeing the British flag float ing where the Marriking flag had previously been. The result of these three days has been, that the proud Waikatos, who had boasted that they would drive us into the sea, have instead been themselves driven from one of I the most formidable positions I ever saw, chosen by them selves, and that too with singular sagacity, into the dense, bush; and we occupy positions to keep them there in this portion of the line of forest. Our casualties have been 3 killed and 22 wounded '(re- turns appended), which is small, considering the perfect shower of bullets which was poured upon us for such a I length of time, and it will be observed that most of them belong to the 40th Regiment, who took a very prominent part in the action ; and to that corps, with a detachment of the one-twelfth Regiment Royal Artillery, under Lieu tenant Macnaghten, and Royal Engineers, also fell the honour of holding the new position during the night, and under continuous fire. I cannot as yet ascertain the exact loss of the enemy, but it must have been very great to induce them to suffer the loss of prestige, and the mortification of abandoning their Pah and strong position without another struggle. It is known that at least five chiefs have been killed, and the graves and appearances in the rifle-pits show that our fire must have been very destructive. I have now to bring to the notice of his Royal Highness the conduct of the Naval Brigade and troops of all arms; their duties have been prolonged, laborious and incessant ; skirmishing through fern higher than their heads, fired at by unseen foes, and carrying on the work of entrenchment • under heavy fire, too much cannot be said in their praise ; and, indeed, little is known of the difficulties of carrying on war in such a province as this. I have also to bring to his Royal Highness's notice the conduct of the officers, and to name for his approbation those in command and at the head of departments. Commodore Seymour, assisted by Lieut. Battiscombe, H. M.'s S. Pe lorus, and Lieut. Woods, Chief Officer, H..M.'s Colonial S. Victoria, performed their duties in their usual gallant manner. The Artillery also, under Capt. Strover and Lieut. Macnaghten, threw their shells and case shot with the greatest precision into the line of rifle-pits. Colonel Mould, assisted by Captain Mould, Royal Engineers, conducted their department in the most efficient manner, whilst the detachment of the 1-12th Regiment, under Capt. Miller„ the 40th Regiment, under Lieutenant-C o l one l L es li e , as sisted by Major Nelson and Captain Messenger, and Ow' 65th Regiment, under Colonel Wyatt, were all handlea iik the most excellent manner. I am also much indebted to the officers of th° Lieut.-Col. Carey, Deputy Adjutant-General,,,lti ency , he always is, most conspicuous for his bravery allu t l, Paul, Royal. and I also received much assistance from 65th Regiment, Brigade-Major, and Lieut. Artillery, my Aide-de-Camp. The s ervir !
