The wriggling snake of Opposition—so manifold and tortuous in its wind ings hitherto —is at length no longer scotched merely, but killed outright. Its neck may be said to have been effectually broken by this last division. In reference to which division, by the way, we would at once direct public attention to what is certainly a very odd coincidence. And the coin cidence is this. Upon the last great party division, namely, the division in the House of Commons on the 2d inst., in Committee of Ways and Means—the aggregate of the minority trooping together upon the side of the Opposition was identical with the aggregate of the minority now again trooping together on the side of the Opposition ! On Thursday, the 2d of May, 1861, and on Thurs day, the 30th of May, 1861—there were collected together by the Opposition whips 281 against her MAJESTY'S Government. The Ministerial majority upon the former occasion having been Eighteen, and upon the latter occasion having been Fifteen, while the Opposition minority has remained in each in stance at the same dead level—it is obvious that last night there was a falling off of three upon the side of the Government. Whereas Ministers told off into their lobby 296 yesterday, or more strictly speaking this morning, they told off as many as 299, but just one short of a round three hundred, upon the former occasion. To signalise the peculiarity of these almost exactly balanced divisions, we will give each here briefly in a tabular form, so that they may be contrasted at a glance : DIVISION" OF TILE 2D MAY, UPON MR. BARING'S AMEND MENT FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE TEA DUTY. MiniEterialists .. 299 Opposition Majority for the Government.... 18 DIVISION OF THE 30TH MAY, UPON MR. SEYMER'S AMENDMENT FOR THE RETENTION OF THE PAPER DUTIES. Minister'slists. opposition ... 296 281 Majority for the Government.... 15 So far, however, from the circumstance of that falling off to the extent of three in the Ministerial majority between the 2d and the 30th instant telling against the Cabinet, the fact is directly otherwise. That it is so, cannot fail to be recognised upon a calm consideration of the actual circum stances. Recollect that ever since the former divi sion forced upon the House when in Committee of Ways and Means, by reason of Mr. BARING'S Tea Duty Amendment—the efforts made by the Oppo sition to strengthen their hands against the Go vernment have been most energetic and determined. Nothing has been left undone in order, if possible, to justify that very singular outburst of cheering with which upon the former of these two recent divisions the Minority greeted their own discom fiture. Those enthusiastic cheers showed that they were then still sanguine of success, notwithstand ing their immediate defeat by the supporters of the Administration. And since then they have striven heart and soul to swell their own numbers, and con sequently to diminish those of their antagonists. With what result has at length been rendered clearly manifest. If they have not fallen off even by the minimum o f a single vote, they have not by an unit advanced their own aggregate. And this, moreover,. i n spite of a very pro mising windfall in the shape of that broken allegiance of the Irish Liberals to the PALMERSTON Government! That actually alone will go pretty far to explain the fact of the list of Ayes now being minus sundry Celtic names occurring in the earlier catalogue of the Government sup porters. To give a single instance—whereas in the Ministerial Majority of the 2d of May, the name of " MAGIIIRE, J. F." duly appears alpha betically in its right place—it will be looked for vainly in this division list, either on the side of the Government or of the Opposition. So might it be said, too, of others among I • the Irish represen tatives. And it is the surprisin g diversity of names noticeable here and there, both in the lists of the Ministerialists and of the Opposition, under date May the 2d and May the 30th, that renders so very singular as a coincidence of numbers the dead -level kept at by the Opposition, and the fact that there is noticeable a difference of merely three upon the side of the Government. It is unquestionable, we take it, that the clear majority of Fifteen secured to themselves last evening by her MAJESTY'S Government, in a house (including the four Tellers, the Speaker, and the Chairman of Committee) of 583 altogether, is virtually, under the circumstances of the case, a far larger majority than that won by Ministers on the 2d of May in a House of 586 altogether, that earlier majority of Eighteen ! In effect it was at once recognised last night when the numbers were announced. There were audible then, no hopeful counter cheers from the aide of the Opposition —only reverberating shouts of applause again and again re newed from the ranks of the victorious supporters of the Government. The division in fact is decisive. That clear majority of Fifteen in a house of 583 members, after so very prolonged and resolute an opposition, fixes the seal of acceptance upon the Budget, dooms for ever and for ever the paper duties after the Ist of October, strengthens almost beyond calculation the hold upon power of the Liberal Coalition, hurls to the winds this session the hopes of the Opposition, and the fears that were beginning to darken about us as to the terrible possibility of a dissolution at midsummer. The discussion which led the way to last night's decisive division, while relieved from absolute inanity by two or three speakers, must neverthe less be acknowledged to hive been upon the whole one of almost unexampled dullness. The only really telling speech in the debate was the one delivered by the noble lord the Foreign Secre tary. The impassioned repudiation by Lord JOHN of the disgraceful imputations directed against the Government of which he is a member touched all the nobler sentiments of the House as with so many electric flashes of indignation. In answer to each vivid lightning word of scorn in regard to these baseless accusations came "the applauding thun der at its heels"—and this alike from the side of the Government and of the Opposition. Another deeply interesting incident of the debate yesterday was the really heartfelt welcome accorded alike by personal friends and political foes to Mr. COBDEN upon the occasion of his reappearance ! The " unadorned eloquence ". of that veritable Genius of Common Sense again telling with signal force upon the discussions in that the popular branch of the Legislature. Otherwise than in these two instances the debate of last night was, how ever, as dull and as uninteresting as its result has proved decisive both as to the success of the Budget and the triumph of the Ministry. Father DALY would do well to remember the wisdom of that old threadbare proverb, Ne sutor ultra crepidam. One is almost tempted to give it a sort of punning half echo in our English verna. cular—avowing, by an allowable change of mood, that No suitor could well go beyond his (Father DALY's) " last." The Prime Minister's graphic ac count last evening of his lordship's interview with the rev. gentleman whose name we have just now particularized certainly lifts the curtain upon as delicate a little political mission as was perhaps ever adventured uponby ecclesiastic. The incident is as certainly very exemplary in its character, or as our cousins across the Atlantic would more aptly call it—cautionary. As described by the noble viscount immediately after the taking of last night's divi sion, the interview is brought before us so clearly, so vividly, so picturesquely that we seem somehow to make quite one of the party. We are conducted into the apartment as it were by the noble lord himself, and become as from behind a screen compulsory spectators and eaves-droppers. " There is no use in concealing names," says Lord PALMERSTON with charming naïveté beginning his pleasant little prelection. " Father—that is Mr.-- , -DALY," says the Premier, with a humorous twinkle in his eye while correct ing his of course quite unintentional lapsus lingua —"Father—that is Mr.-- P DALY called upon me on Saturday and urged upon me reasons why the de cision of the Government with regard to the Gal way packet line should be reconsidered. Well." said Lord PALMERSTON, "I stated to Mr. DALY that I did not consider him authorised to repre sent anybody on the subject, and I declined to enter into a discussion with him on the Galway packet contract." Nothing daunted by which, Father, that is Mr., DALY replies—" It is a public ques tion." The reverend gentleman might have added, in every sense of the word —" and a purely," no, not purely, that's not the phrase, " a strictly," yes, ' strictly will do—" and a strictly mercantile • transaction !" What is Lord PALMERSTON'S reply ? Why, exactly the reply that might have been looked for from Lord PALMERSTON ! "Itis a matter that can alone be discussed publicly in the House of Commons," observes the Premier in answer to Mr. DALY—" and not privately in my own apartment." Thereupon—" Mr. DALY said, if I would not discuss it with him, would I do so with a deputation of Irishonembers ? I said I did not see that it was a matter between me and the Irish members, but between the Government and the Galway Company ; nor did I see what the Irish members had to do with it more than to take part in the division that must follow on the motion: , Such delightful obtuseness on the part of Lord PALMERSTON ! Of course the House could only listen to the rest of the interview through its own laughter. The noble viscount continues— " Mr. DALY said I was mistaken, because the Irish members must take some action on the sub ject. I said Yes, that action will be on the dis cussion.' (Cheers, and laughter.) Well, Mr. DALY said, That won't exactly do—(laughter)—l wish to bring a deputation of Irish members to you on Monday.' But Monday I told him was the day appointed for the Budget, and the Galway con tract is a different question. (Laughter.) I said There is no discussion on Monday about the Galway contract. There is no reason why I should receive a deputation on that day, and, moreover, if I were to receive a deputation, I know already everything they could say to me, and I can only tell them what I tell you—namely, that it is a public question to be discussed in the House of Commons, and not in a private room in my house.' Well, but,' said Mr. DALY, lam anxious that you should see them on Monday, be cause they must take action on the subject—(laugh tcr)—and that action must be taken on the Monday evening.' (Renewed laughter.) Oh,' said I, ' I now understand you—(much laughter)—and when it is put to me in that way I must, with all deference and respect for the Irish members, entirely decline seeing any of them.'" A t that, as the crowning record of the interview b atween Father DALY and Lord PALMERSTON, the 'House cheered, as it well might, and that hearl;ily. The ex planation which has now been given by the noble Premier in regard to these ugly rumours about the Irish members, the Galway Packet Company and her MAJESTY'S •Government — co incides entirely with the view we took of those rumours yesterday. The disgracefe. accusations directed through those rumours agailast Her MAJESTY'S Government have been now ,‘:ffectu- ally scattered to the winds by Lord SOTIN RUSSELL'S indignant denial, and by Lord PALMERSTON'S scorn ful and laughing refutation of them. We do not know that there is much to complain of in the principles and practice of American blockades, as they are illustrated by the correspon dence just published. They first proclaim the blockades as to be "set on foot" at certain ports ; they do not regard the blockade, however, as com mencing from the issue of the proclamation, but from the time when a force is stationed at the port sufficiently strong and watchful to warn, indivi dually, each vessel as it approaches the port. Nothing but a resistance of this warning is regarded as a breach of blockade. All vessels, also, actually in the port are allowed 15 days to depart, and they may do so with or without cargo ; nor would it be inquired into whether they had taken the cargo on board after the blockade had been actually established. There have occurred, however, two or three cases of hardship, in which Mr. SEWARD does not appear to us to have fairly carried out his assurance to Lord LYONS, "That if in any individual cases the rules of blockade should bear hardly on British vessels he should be ready to consider the equity of the matter, and to receive favourably any repre sentations he might make on behalf of the interests of British subjects." To most persons it will appear as if the equity of the following case de manded favourable consideration. Mr. J. LEAY CROFT applies for power to send British vessels to take away cargoes which have been bought and paid for in the blockaded port. In another case power was asked to send for oak plank which had been bought and paid for, in part fulfilment of a contract for the British Government. Mr. SEWARD regrets categorically to refuse all the applications, four in number ! He pleads that the same rules had been enforced against American merchants having cotton at Norfolk, which they wished to bring away in American bottoms. The rule appears harsh against their own merchants, that is on the supposition, that as in the case of the British merchants they had paid for the goods. If they had not, some thing might of course be said in favour of prevent ing the enemy from getting money into his hands. To us it seems that reason, courtesy, and equity were all on the side of allowing the merchants of another country to take away the goods by ships going for them in ballast, as proposed, when the rebels had already secured the merchant's money. Practically, indeed, Mr. SEWARD'S policy gives to his enemies both the money and the goods. He injures his friends and benefits his enemies. The latter may be high morality ; but the former is neither good morality nor good policy. We must say, however, that Mr. SEWARD is not exactly the politician we had, till the late contest, supposed him to be. He can talk too much blarney and bluster. Amongst the territories which " mani fest destiny" was to give to the now shattered Union, he had the taste to mention the Canadas. His warning to European politicians to dismiss from their heads all thoughts of a secession being permitted, will not be forgotten. Nor can we relish much more this repudiation of " the equity" of a pretty clear case. The Minister Plenipotentiary to St. Petersburg seems to be a gentleman of the same class, one who could take in hand to lecture us on what we should think for our honour and our interest. In the proclamation, too, of Mr. LINCOLN, signed by Mr. SEWARD, we find the astounding assertion, that if "any person" under the "pretended authority of the said (seceded) states" should molest any vessels of the United States, or the persons or cargo on board of one, " such per son will be held answerable to the laws of the United States for the prevention of piracy !" States which have agreed to abolish privateering might consistently take this ground ; but Mr. LINCOLN could only take it by denying to the Southern States the belligerent rights which, hateful as their cause is, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has humanely and wisely asserted for them. It is, indeed, but to introduce civilised views of what common humanity demands in mitigation of the horrors of war. A little modesty would surely better comport with the pre sent position of the broken up Union, than a con tinuance of that arrogance with which the United States were wont to beard the senior nations of the Old World. We have no fear, however, but that our Foreign-office will R erform its duties in a firm yet becoming manner. THE COURT.—Her Majesty and his Royal High ness the Prince Consort, and the youthful members of the Royal Family, are expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace either on Monday or Wednesday next for the season. It is also expected that the Queen will occasionally visit White Lodge, in Richmond-park, during the season. The Earl of Nlornington has arrived at the Cl trendon from Paris. The Earl and Countess Delawarr and Sir Alex ander and Lady Arabella Bannerman are expected to ar rive in London in the course of the ensuing week from Genoa, after passing several months in Italy. We understand that a marriage is shortly to take place between the Right Hon. William Hutt, Vice Presi. dent of the Board of Trade, and Mrs. Hughes, daughter of the Hon. Sir Francis Stanhope, and widow of Col. Hughes, brother of the late Lord Pinorben. MONUMENT TO SHAKSPEARE.—A public meet ing will be held shortly, in connection with the above ob ject, at the Theatre Royal, Drury. lane, which E. T.Smith, Esq., has liberally granted for the occasion. Government have granted the Royal Irish Aca demy £lOO a year for the recovery of antiquities in Ireland through the agency of the constabulary. The Charity Commissioners have given notice that the well-known library of Archbishop Tenison, in the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, will be sold by auction. M. Thiers has resolved to make over the prize of 20,000 f. which has just been awarded to him, to the French Academy, to be bestowed by them upon some writer whom they may select. The Ost-Deutsche Post of Vienna says:—" M. Wagner's opera of Lohengrin' has just been performed here. The public appeared anxious to console the com poser for the check he had recently received in Paris. The house was crowded, and at the end of the overture there arose a tempest of applause which continued until M. Wag ner advanced to the front of his box and thanked the public for the honour conferred on him." The correspondence between Mr. Aleoelr, our minister at Yeddo, and Lord John Russell, respecting the recent difficulties in Japan, has been published. These documents comprise a history of the diplomatic events which grew out of the murder of the American Secretary of Legation. Mr. Alcock's closing despatch announces the restoration of friendly relations with the Japanese go vernment, and his return to Yeddo. Lord John Russell expresses his satisfaction with this announcement, and approves of the course taken by Mr. Alcock. • The Italian Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of the 28th, commenced the debate on the bill for recognising the claims of such officers as, under the fallen dynasties, had been deprived of their grades from political motives. After a long dis cussion, it was agreed that the claims of those only should be admitted who had offered to serve in 1859 ; after which the Chamber voted tne first three articles. At the meeting of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, to-day, it was stated that the net profits for the six months ending the 31st of March last, amounted to .£14,020 6s. ld., which, added to the sum brought forward, gave an avail able balance of £14,416 15s. id., from which the directors declared a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax. It was agreed that one half of the surplus profit over 6 per eent., and the usual charge for interest, amounting toge ther to £3,474 Os. 10d. should be added to the Reserve Fund, and that £250 be applied to the re demption of preliminary expenses, leaving a sum of £67 14k, 31 to be carried forward.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.) PATES V. PATES. This was a suit instituted by the wife, Martha Pates, against her husband, William Pates, for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of his adultery and desertion. Dr. Spinks represented the petitioner ; there was no appearance on the part of the respondent. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the parties were married at Flamatead, Herts, in October, 1838, the respondent then being in business as a tailor and draper. They cohabited for some years, and three children were the issue of the marriuge, of whom one is now alive. In 1844, the respondent forged a bill upon his brother-in-law, and consequently all his household goods were sold, and the petitioner went to live with one of her brothers. The respondent went to Watford in 1846, under pretence of seeking work, and remained away for nearly two months, when the petitioner met her husband in London, and by mutual agreement they corresponded by letter for a few months. This, however, soon ceased on the part of the respondent, and intelligence was conveyed to the petitioner that he had gone to live with a girl named Ellen Palmer, by whom he admitted having had four children, and with whom he at present lives at Fishpool-street, Michael-street, St. Albans. The petitioner, since the desertion, has lived in the service of a highly respectable family as housekeeper for fourteen years and a half. The whole facts were fully proved, and the Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi with costs. BOLTON V. BOLTON AND PAGE. In this suit the husband sought for a dissolution of mar riage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co respondent, who did not appear in answer to the suit. Mr. Dowdeswell and Mr. Shaw represented the petitioner. The parties were married at Cricklade, Wiltshire, in 1839, and cohabited together, at Westbury, until July, 1846, the petitioner carrying on business as a grocer and draper. At that time the respondent was found in the actual commission of adultery, by the petitioner, with a perssn named Hall, a market gardener in Westbury. The respondent was sent home to her mother, at Cricklade, and continued to live with her until she died, and left the respondent sufficient to maintain her without her labouring for a liv ing. Some time after the respondent went to live with the co-respondent at Castle Eaton, Wilts, and a female infant had been registered by them both as their child. The facts were clearly proved, and Sir Cresswell Cress well at once granted the decree nisi with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH• STREET. LOOKING AFTER THE PLATE 'BASKET.—Three young men, named Shirley, Harley, and Donnelly, were charged as follows : Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said that, on the previous afternoon, observing the three prisoners together, and knowing thorn as the companions of Pye-street thieves, he watched them, and observed them go down several areas in Clarges-street, Curzon-street, and believing they were there for the object of committing a felony, he took them into custody. On searching them he found on each of them five combs and a needle case. On asking them what they went down the areas for, they said, "To sell combs," but he (Joy) had little doubt that, though that was the pretence, the reality was that they were on the look out for plate baskets. The Magistrate said ho had no doubt they were all workitig together for the purpose of taking any articles of plate they found lying in their way, but fortunately, through the vigilance of the officer, they had not succeeded. He would commit them for a month each as rogues and vagabonds. 2.HIS SIIIPPING. LormoN, May 31.—Wind this day at noon, North- Westerly ; moderate breeze, and very fine, clear, sunshiny weather.

The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have been interrupted by the absence of many of the dealers at the Derby, and few dealings have been reported. Sugars have slightly given way in price, while inferior descriptions of coffee have also de clined. For tea there has been scarcely any in quiry, and quotations are unaltered. Rice, spices, and fruit have only been dealt in to a limited ex tent at about former rates: The tallow market has continued dull, and but little speculative business has been entered upon, prices showing a downward tendency, owing to the opening of the navigation to St. Petersburg. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a fair amount of business was transacted, the sales having reached 10,000 bales, 2,000 of which were for export and on speculation. Prices, however, were firmly maintained. A further sum of £30,000 in gold was added to the stock of bullion in the Bank of England yester day. The Pera has arrived from Alexandria with £348 in specie. The Princeof Wales has also arrived from Port Phillip with about £90,000 in specie. The Bohemian, which left yesterday for Quebec, took £45,200 in specie. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. P. Hana and Co., Greek merchants, held yesterday, it was resolved to adjourn to the Ist August, and in the meanwhile the firm are to continue to realize the estate.

The Malta Observer of the 20th, under the head of "Telegraphic Messages," contains the follow ing vire are informed that in consequence of many just complaints respecting the shameful delay in the transmission of telegraphic messages from Malta to England, a correspondence has taken place between the English Government and the Italian on the subject. We believe the faults rest entirely with the telegraphic service in Italy, which has hitherto been infamously managed, but we are told that Count Cavour intends making a thorough reform, and that in a short time messages from Malta and Corfu will be sent through the Italian States as quickly and as regularly as through any other telegraph line." The following extract from a dispatch addressed by Sir J. Hudson to the Italian Minister at Turin is then given : "I am instructed by my Government to bring under your excellency's notice the great inconveni ence which is experienced by the British public from the delay which occurs in the transmission of telegraphic messages between Malta and Great Britain. ET some weeks past the irregularities have increased to such an extent as to render the communication quite useless, inasmuch as the dis patches have been delayed in most instances seven, 10, and 14 days, so that when delivered they were of no use to the persons to whom they were ad dressed. Your excellency is, doubtless, aware that the late Government of Naples entered into an en gagement with the Mediterranean Extension Com pany, to errect a special wire from Modica to Naples ; and to this want, and to the break in the submarine line between Sicily and the mainland, her Majesty's Government are also desirous of calling your excellency's attention. lam so we'll aware of. your excellency's desire to improve and perfect the telegraph communication of Italy, and your excellency has so often expresed your readi• ness to do all that lies in your power to perfect and extend it, that I feel I need do no more upon this occasion than point out the defects e in order to insure their speedy remedy." An answer to the following effect was given to the foregoing dispatch : "I have received the letter you were gaod enough to address me, calling the attention of the Government of the King to the regretable irregu larities that have lately taken place in the tele graphic service between Malta and England. In expressing with satisfaction the welbfounded belief which you have, that the Government of the King desires more than any one to see the irre gularities cease, which are principally caused by the present political circumstancze, I am glad to inform you that officers experienced in telegraphic communication, have already been sent to Sicily and the Southern Italian provinces, for the pur pose of taking the necessary measures to give to the telegraphic service the desirable regularity ; that one of the obstacles which is now against the rapidity of communication, viz., the interruption between Sicily and the Continent, will soon be removed by means of the laying of a double sub marine cable, for which a contract has just been concluded by the administration ; lastly, that competent authorities have been invited, and with• out doubt will devote their efforts to ameliorate as much as:possible the service in Southern Italy, and that part which specially interests Great Britain will be the object of the particular atten tion of the Government and of the officers of the Administration of Telegraphs. I should add that the Minister of Public Works is anxious to have information respecting the agreement which, ac cording to what you were good enough to write me, was prviously entered into with the Mediterra nean Extension Telegraph Company for the lay ing of a special wire between Modica and Messina, and between Reggio and Naples ; and that as soon as this information is obtained he will occupy himself in examining what it may be possible to do"' in accordance with the said agreement!"
