Orders from the Lords of the Admiralty were re ceived at Devonport on Tuesday evening to despatch the paddlewheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Compdander Hope Johnstone, to the coast of Morocco, ir( conse quence of the disturbances there. She WeS then alongside the coal depot Jupiter, in Hamoaze, re pairing, but was attached immediately to the steam tug Prospero, which towed her into the Sound. She took her departure at midnight. About 20 of her crew, with the paymaster and steward, were left behind, the vacancies being supplied from the Royal Adelaide. The Virago will in the first instance go to Gibraltar. The iron screw steam troop ship Orontes, 3, built for the Government by Messrs. Laird Brothers, of Birkenhead, has been formally delivered up by their agent, Capt. Henderson, to Commander Brown, R.N., the Master Attendant at the Devonport dockyard. She has been called " iron -clad," but like the Himalaya, is constructed entirely of iron. The plates from the keel to the wales average thtee quarters of an inch thick ; at the wales they are double, and above them about iths. Her lower masts ars stepped, and with 300 tons of coal her draught is 18 feet. When fully equipped for sea it will be about 20 feet. The Orontes left Birken head at 12 15 p.m. on Saturday, and arrived at Plymouth at 630 p.m. on Monday. From Birken head to the Land's-end a strong contrary gale, with a heavy sea, was encountered. The sea caused her to pitch a little, but, although so light, the Orontes did not roll much, and in all other respects behaved well, whether under steam only, or when aided by her fore and aft canvass, after rounding the Land's end. Her equipments will be completed by the dockyard authorities forthwith. Yesterday some trials took place at Chatham dock yard in the presence of several of the heads of de partments at that establishment to test the lifting powers of a new description of pulley, patented by the inventor, Mr. Weston, and manufactured by the firm of Messrs. Ransome and Co. The advantages claimed for the invention are its extreme simplicity and portability, and also the great saving of power in lifting weights of the heaviest description. The pulley tested yesterday was one calculated to raise weights under four tons, and that with less than half the power required under the ordinary arrange ment of blocks, as used in the dockyard. The pulley was suspended from one of the cranes, and the " endless" chain attached to one of the four ton iron armour plates just landed. The ropes, or rather circular rope, attached to the pulley were then taken in hand by four men, and in halt a dozen turns of the wheel, and without any undue exertions on the part of the workmen, the slab was hoisted to the required height. Another ton weight of iron was then added, and the large wheel which sets the pulley in motion again made to revolve, when five men in a few turns raised the slab and the additional pigs of iron, the whole being held in its place with out any need of men retaining their hold on the rope. The pulley is intended to be placed on board the Royal Oak, where it will prove of the greatest use in lifting anchors, chain cable, and all the heavy gear of a vessel of that class. Preparations have been made at No. 1 slip at Chatham dockyard for the launch of the paddle wheel Admiralty despatch steamer Salamis. The bilgeways were yesterday removed from the mast pend, and will be floated into their place at high tide to-day. The launch will take place during the first spring tides in the ensuing month. The Sala mis is to be fitted with a pair of 250 horse power engines, by Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co. The Active, 36, sailing frigate, fitting at Chatham as a training ship for the Naval Coast Volunteers has had a portion of the copper stripped from her bottom, in order that an examination may be made of the state of her hu..l. The planking in several parts has been found so rotten that the workmen are now employed in removing the defective planks and substituting new. Her timbers are considered to be very sound. The Pandora, 4, screw, Commander W. Ruston, has completed her trials of speed at Portsmouth with full and half boiler-power, realising a mean speed in knots with the former of 8 . 528, and with the latter of 5430. At the full boiler-power trial the temperature ranged :—On deck, from 51 to 58 deg. ; in the engine-room, from 65 to 70 deg. ; and in the stokehole, from 80 to 95 deg. The Pandora awaits sailing orders at Spithead, and is expected to proceed to the West Coast of Africa, calling at Plymouth for mails. The Lyra, 9, screw corvette, recently returned from service on the Cape of Good Hope and Mozambique station, has been placed in dock at Portsmouth for survey and repair. The court-martial now being held on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, on Captain Hillyar, C. 13., and Lieut. Lillingstone, the former lately and the latter now serving on board her Majesty's ship Cadmus, resumed its sittings yester day, and received evidence for the prosecution rela tive to the charges of cruelty and oppression, and again adjourned until to-day. From the number of witnesses remaining to be examined the proceed ings are likely to be protracted.

THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, General Commanding-in-Chief, arrived on Tuesday evening in the south-west military district from Devonport and Plymouth. Embarking on board the Fire Queen at Southampton, his Royal High ness first visited the new military hospital at Netley, and, afterwards re-embarking, proceeding to the Needles, at the west end of the Isle of Wight, and minutely inspected the fortifications at - the entrance to the channel, on the island, and at Hurst Castle. Returning thence, his Royal Highness next pro • ceeded to Parkhurst, via Cowes, and inspected the barracks there, crossing the island to Ryde in the evening and sleeping there. Yesterday morning, attended by his staff, the Duke proceeded by car riage to Sandown, and inspected the new forts along the line of shore now receiving their armaments and the new and extensive works constructing, San down fort, par excellence, in the hollow of the bay, and the citadel constructing on the topmost crest of Bembridge Down. Returning from Sandown the Duke embarked on board the Fire Queen steam yacht, Master Commander Paul. She arrived at Portsmouth shortly after noon yesterday from the Isle of Wight, with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on board, accompanied by Quarter master-General Sir Richard Airey, K.C.8., Col. C. Bingham, Deputy-Adj t- Gen., Royal Artillery; Cols. Gordon and Jervoise, R.E., and other officers. The Royal standard flying at the main of the Fire Queen was saluted with 61 guns from her Majesty's ship Revenge (flagship of Rear-Admiral R. Smart, K.H.), lying at Spithead and from the saluting bat tery of the town fortifications. As the Fire Queen entered the harbour Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Sey mour, K.C.8., the Naval Commander-in Chief at the port, went alongside in his state barge, and paid his respects to the Duke, who immediately landed, ac companied by bisstaff and by Admiral Seymour, and proceeded to the residence of Major-General Lord Wm. Paulet, C. 8., at Government House. After lun cheon his Royal Highness, accompanied by Major- General Lord Paulet, Admiral Seymour, Sir Richard Airey, Colonel Bingham, &c., visited the dockyard and d were con d ucted by Rear-Admiral Superinten dent Sector i o on f t r iag o na v dt e erE Enchantress, t r r r e e s Prince, shipt an d R Capt. oatph o t e. y r oaii Sovereign, nntws roifg ihnt th e eni t t e h r e est in the yard.

A new code of regulations has just been issued at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, which has occasioned considerable murmuring among the class employed as hall servants, and who are retired pen sioners from the Royal Artillery and Royal Engi neers. For upwards of 20 years it appears these old soldiers have been invariably appointed to the above named capacity, and have been hitherto well con tented with the berth, from which they derived a quiet and comfortable livelihood for themselves and families. The emoluments were as follows :- 2s. 4d. per day each, and the privilege of taking home the, scraps and broken victuals remaining after the cadets' meals. The new regulations now deprive them of the latter advantage, without any increase of pay. This they complain of as an in justice and severity. Unless remedied, they ask that their pay be increased to 35., similar to that of the out-door servants. The Royal gun factories, under the assistant superintendence of Mr. John Anderson, in Wool wich Arsenal having been closed since Tuesday week forthe purpose of completing the taking stock, yesterday resumed operations, for the opening of the financial year commenced on the Ist inst. The 250 mechanics and labourers who had received notice of dismissal are ordered to be retained. Not withstanding that the estimates are settled for the departmental expenses, and the new year has fairly set in, nothing has officially transpired from the War Department beyond the rumour that Briga dier-Gen. St. George, R.A.C.8., President of the Ordnance Select Committee, will be the new Inspector-General of Warlike Stores, and he will be succeeded in the Select Committee by Col. Lefroy, R.A., and also that Mr. Anderson will continue in the Royal gun factories as Superintendent, in suc cession to Sir W. Armstrong, resigned. The Confederate Steamer Florida.

The Florida hoisted no other colours. The Runnymede was asked if she would take any pas sengers prisoners of war on board. Captain asked ' how many ?' and was answered ' about 30."fhe captain said he would take the officers and two oc three men, making some seven or eight in all, if they would send a barrel of flour, two bags of bread, and some tobacco with them, which was agreed to, but the Florida sent officers in the that boat, and sailors enough in the second to make 11, and the captain of the Runnymede tuld them to bring no more. Instead of sending flour and to bacco, they sent two barrels of bread and a chest of tea, of which Capt. Prouse complained. This was on the 18th of March. Capt. Prouse received us with hospitality and kindness, and treated us with the same during our passage in his ship to Greenock, for which we desire to return him and his crew our grateful acknowledgments. Our captain lost a quantity of clothing and personal effects, embracing many pleasant and valuable mementoes he had gathered in India. All of us had stolen from us most of our clothing and other articles, and reached shore, we may say, destitute of everything. When we were placed on board the Runnymede, the cap tain of the Florida, although he had robbed and im prisoned us and destroyed our ship, told the captain of the Runnymede to call on the United States Consul for payment of our passage to the port at which he should land us, and he paid not a cent. The captain of the Florida said she was 700 tons register, and we believe this to be true. She has three broadside rifled 32-pounder cannon on each side, and two 110-pound pivot guns, one forward, the other aft. She has 120 men aboard, and a full supply of cutlasses, rifles, and revolvers, the latter having ten barrels, nine for ball and one for buck shot. We learned that in smooth water she will steam 12 knots, and with a favourable wind, and with all sail set, she will run 15 knots an hour. She is a wooden vessel and no iron plates. All her machinery is below the water-line. We arrived at Glasgow on the 2d of April, it being the first con sular port we touched, and were immediately re ported, and protested the foregoing facts before the United States Consul at Glasgow. (Signed) IV. L. UNDERWOOD, " United States Consul, Glasgow." In mentioning the rumour that was spread about of the intention of the Sultan to visit Egypt and other parts of his dominions, I was so far from be lieving that that intention would be carried out that I abstained from entering into the political con siderations which would render such a determina tion very unwise and objectionable. Later, when the rumour assumed some consistency, and prepara tions for the intended journey were being made, I contented myself with recording the fact, retaining the belief, however, that the counsels of the Sultan's Ministers and of such members of the diplomatic body as are favourable to the interests of the coun try would have prevented, or at least retarded the execution of a scheme which might be productive of very grave resu!ts. There is now, however, very little doubt on the subject. The preparations for departure progress with great activity. His Minis ters dare not remonstrate with him, and the advice of the foreign representatives has been disregarded. I am informed the British Ambassador has pointed out to the Sultan, urgently and impressively, the evil consequences that might result from this voyage, and he strongly advised its postponement. His representations were received in a courteous and friendly spirit, but failed to shake the Sultan's de termination; and so late es three days ago the Sul tan sent a message to Sir H. Bulwer thanking him for his advice, but stating that it was his intention to leave the capital immediately. I now learn that peremptory orders have been issued to hold every thing in readiness for immediate departure. Apart from the political objections which I will point out presently, the enormous expenditure which this journey will involve should have been, seeing the exhausted state of the Treasury, a sufficient consi deration and a very weighty argument against this scheme. It is given out that a sum of 50,000,000 piastres—nearly £soo,ooo—will be required, and it is not unreasonable to suppose, considering the pomp and splendour which will attend this military pageant—for it cannot be looked upon in any other light—that even that estimate may be con siderably surpassed. The Ministers are at their wit's end to procure this money, and everything else is suspended in the arrangements which are being man to invest the occasion with becoming magnificence. The civil employes have not been paid for two or three months, the army is in considerable arrears, the various departments are in the last de gree of pecuniary destitution, pressing and long out standing claims are set aside, but every ingenious contrivance and device is employed to complete the sum, which is required for an object the only result of which will be an abortive attempt to pa rade before the world the greatness and power of the sovereign ruler of the Ottoman dominions. I have mentioned before that a naval squadron would attend the Sultan throughout the voyage. It now turns out that ten steam frigates are now under orders to escort him. A military escort also, con sisting of 3,000 men, is to form part of the expedi tion, as also a great portion of his extensive eats_ blishment, all the gorgeous paraphernalia employed in the state visits to mosques, and in one word it will comprise all the attributes which contribute to set off the dignity of an Oriental Prince. Suspicious, as all Oriental despots, of his next o kin, the Sultan has determined to remove from thef capital, by attaching them to his suite, his three nephews, the sons of the late Abdul Medjid, the eldest of whom is the heir to the throne, to the exclusion, according to the provisions of the law of succession, of the offspring of the ruling Sovereign It must be said, to the credit of the Sultan, that he treats these Princes with more consideration than generally falls to the lot of those who are similarly situated, or than he himself experienced at the hands of his late brother. The constant mortifica tions, petty tyranny, seclusion, and restraint to which he was subjected have contributed, there is no doubt, to develope those outbursts of bitterness, ill-temper and gloom to which he occasionally gives way, and also to that peremptory assertion of his sovereign rights which brooks no interference, con tradiction, or advice. While allowing his nephews, however, a certain amount of freedom, he is not above taking the necessary precautions in their re gard to prevent the possibility of any conspiracy or agitation in his absence which might endanger his own tenure of power. The removal of the Princes, therefore, with a portion of their establishments, will entail additional expense, and it is difficult to say what amount of money will be required to meet the enormous outlay of this expedition. It is no less ill-judged and inconsiderate as re gards the interests of the Pasha of Egypt. It is well known that the late Viceroy left the finances of Egypt in a fearful state of confusion. Pasha, his successor, is exerting himself to t ut most to introduce some order and econon 3 Y , and finds it most di ffi cult to provide the mean! whereby to satisfy the claims which are da ily springing up, consequent upon the extrava gan ce of his predecessor. He has :S se and prodigality no time, moreover, to consolidate his own pow er and position, a n d i t requires great tact a nd a long course of imp rove d a d m inistration to ena ble him to extricate hi mse lf and the country from the great burd ens w hi c h we i g h upon them. It is not a mom en t lik e this, therefore, that the Sultan should have chosen for a visit to his dependant, the effect of which will be crushing to the dignity and prestige of the latter, and, by the enormous expenditure which it must necessarily entail upon him, will add considerably to his already overwhelming embar rassments. Whatever good feeling may prevail "That in latitude 16 deg. north, and longitude 54 deg. west, on the morning of Friday, the 6th of March last, our course being N. W. by N. half W,, we espied a sail on our port bow, apparently stand ing towards us. As soon as he appeared to us we observed that he lowered sail, and from the increas ing smoke appeared to be firing for steam. He bore up towards us under American colours. When about three miles of us, he fired a shot ahead of us. We then saw it was an American armed steamer, and supposed it belonged to the United States navy. We had begun to slacken sail before he fired the shot ahead. He ran alongside of us, with the American colours still flying. An officer hailed us and inquired Where we were from, whither bound, and what cargo.' We answered, from Cal cutta, bound to Boston, and laden with general cargo.' He said he would send aboard. He sent an armed crew of seven men with two officers. As THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. (From a Correspondent of the limes.) CONSTANTINOPLE, March 25. the boat bringing them approached the Federal flag was hauled down and the Confederate flag hoisted. Both officers came aboard. They informed us we were a prize to the Confederate steamer Florida, and ordered our captain to get into the boat and go aboard the steamer. The principal of these officers proved to be the second-lieutenant of the steamer, named Howie. They called for our ship's papers, manifest, &c., which were surrendered to and retained by them. Our captain in quired if we were permitted to take anything with us. He answered that his captain bad per mitted officers of vessels he had captured to retain their personal effects. Our captain went to his cabin to pack his effects up, and while so doing this lieutenant ordered him to go aboard, and said he would allow our steward to pack his things. O ur captain, first and second mates, and three or four of our men, went aboard. When we reached the steamer's deck no notice was taken of us. In ten or fifteen minutes one of the doctors, of whom there were two, one named Garrison and the other Graf ton, requested our captain to walk with him below. He went, and in a conversation the doctor said 'they had lately taken the J a c o b Bell,' and she bad s ome lady passengers that gav e th e m some trouble, and h e was afraid we had so me . O ur ca ptain said, we had not.' Presently a man cam e down, to whom he intro duced him as Capt. M a ffitt. He talked abo u t th e fortunes of war, was sorr y they fell over o ur captain, but wanted to take ships, &C.

They also took all the ship's pr ov i s i ons an d co al, of which we h a d a large quantity, an d a l so w h a t rope they wan t e d . Having thus robbed her of everything they wanted, they set fire to the ship about sun down of the sth of March. The ship was well worth 50,000 dollars. The cargo was a most valuable one, and worth not less than half-a million dollars. A large portion of the cargo was consigned to British owners. Our captain stated this fact in the hope it might save his ship from de struction, but the captain of the Florida disregard e d . _ it, and referred to a letter of Lord John Russell's which he afterwards exhibited to our captain, to the effect that' if British subjects placed their goods in American vessels, they were liable to capture,' &c. As fast as our men came on board the steamer, they were put in irons, some chained by the hands, and some by the feet. The steamer after this drifted about listlessly, the captain's purpose appearing to be to cruise about in the same waters, being in the track of the East India vessels homeward bound. He kept up no steam, and after burning our ship the steamer's crew was hoisted out of the water. The first vessel the Florida en countered after we came aboard was a French sailing vessel. A gun was fired across her bow, and she was stopped and boarded. What then occurred we don't know. We understood she was requested to take us aboard, but refused. The next vessel we saw was the English schooner Laura Jane. The Florida fired a gun a-bow and brought her to and sent a boat's crew aboard. Know nothing of what there occurred, but understood she was requested to take us aboard, but refused. Whilst the Florida was detained with her, we saw another vessel steering towards us. It proved to be the schooner Aldeba ron, Hand. About Haver., Now York, Capt. in sight the Florida time Brooke she carne hauled down the Confederate colours and hoisted the n b g o i u n t g t the t English. We lay precisely on the track of the Ade baron, and she came right to us. When near the Florida sent out a boat, which hailed and boarded her. Shortly after this, the Aldebaron's crew came aboard, and were ironed, as our crew had been. After bringing aboard a large number of articles from the Aldebaron, she, too, was burnt. The next vessel we saw was the brig Runnymede, Capt. Prouse, of Greenock. Two shots were fired across her bow, she hove to, and the master's mate was sent to board. When the Runnymede came in sight, the Florida hoisted the English colours. The Runnymede did the same. As she approached the Florida drew down this flag, the Runnymede did so too, but raised up the British ensign and kept it between the Sultan and the Viceroy, and however cordial their intercourse in private may be, there is no doubt that the attitude of the Pasha towards his Suzerain in public, and in the presence of his sub jects, must be one of abject deference and humility on his part, rendered more palpable by a corres ponding self-assertion and preponderance on the part of the Sultan which can hardly tend—espe cially in the eyes of Orientals, sensitive and obser vant of the least gradation of such imposed etiquette —to set forth and strengthen in the eyes of the Egyptians the power and greatness of the Viceroy. It would seem that the foregoing consider.tions would have been enough to deter the Sultan from undertaking the voyage. There are others, how ever, far more important, far more grave, touching more closely upon the interests of the Sultan him self and of the country, which have been urged upon him without avail. The rejection of them confirms the public belief that, in the tenacious and obsti• nate assertion of his own ideas and his own will, he sacrifices all prudential considerations of the interests of the country, and would brave the dan gers which encompass it. Whatever may be said to the contrary, in whatever brilliant colours the tran quillity of the country may be painted by a host of sycophants, it is notorious that there is a good deal of fermentation and disquiet prevailing, espe cially in the European provinces. That this is the consequence of Turkish misrule I do not believe. I have on a previous occasion pointed out that the authority of the Porte, particularly in relation to the semi-dependent provinces, is impotent for evil as it is for good. But still there is an agita tion going on, and no one can shut his eyes to the fact. It is true that the beginning of spring in every year is the signal for dark rumours and pre dictions of a general rising in the provinces, which generally come to nothing at all; but this year these rumours have assumed a consistency which, if it does not point to an early rupture of peace, is an indication of a persistent and organised system of agitation gradually gaining ground, and which might break out where least expected. This movement has ramifications in the provinces, and is repre sented by numerous agents and disciples in the capital itself, whose mission it is to propagate dis satisfaction, to provoke resistance on the part of the Christians by pointing out to them their real or imaginary wrongs. One form which this propa gandism has assumed lately has been to show that the Sultan is ill-disposed towards his Christian sub jects, and that it is his determination to remove them from the offices of the State. In giving you an account of the proposed reforms, and the reduc tion in the staff of employes at the different depart ments, I mentioned that the dismissal from office of some of them would be a cruel blow, but that the majority had managed to make a comfortable pro vision for themselves which would place them be yond want. Now, it seems that among those who were so dismissed there was a certain proportion of Christians. The proportion, however, was very small, and, as far as I can ascertain, there is no ground for an accusation of partiality. But the cry was immediately raised that the movement was got up in order to get rid of the Christians, and com mented upon accordingly. Anyone who will give himself the trouble to inquire will ascertain that at this moment some of the most honourable and most lucrative employments are held by Christians. In European capitals nearly all the representatives of the Porte are Christians, and their embassies are peopled with a host of useless attaches,alsoprofessing the Christian faith. In the capital some of the mist valuable sinecures are held by Christians, and many of them more than suspected of Russian sympathies and Russian intrigues. Others are comfortably pen sioned, and are allowed, undisturbed, to undermine by their active and unscrupulous intrigues the coun try and Government which gives them not only bread, but the means of amassing wealth. There is no ground, therefore, for an accusation of intoler ance on the part of the Turks. However fanatical the Sultan may be, there is no reason to fear that his Mussulman tendencies will interfere with the rights and privileges, such as they are, of his Chris tian subjects. In getting up a cry of this nature, the obvious object is to take advantage of any pretext by which resistance and opposition on the part of the Christians may be encouraged. lam assured on the best authority—the fact has, moreover, been confirmed to me in various ways—that this move ment has assumed very lately a great consistency; that the existence even of organised secret societies in the provinces and the capital has sprung up. As ever, Russian influence and Russian protection favour these revolutionary designs, On this point I should not venture to be so positive, were it not that the information which I possess, acquired after long and patient investigation, from undoubted sources, leaves no doubt whatever on my mind that Russian agency, while appearing at times to subside, is ever busily and actively engaged to promote dissatisfac tion and resistance, and by these means to provoke a crisis. I have reason to believe that the existence of this element of disquiet was used as the most press ing argument in endeavouring to induce the Sultan to postpone his intended voyage. His presence in the capital acts as a wholesale check upon any agitation of the kind I have mentioned. Whatever his fault may be, he is known to be bold and determined ; he is idolised by his troops, in whose position he has effected such a great change; and he is, there is no doubt, feared by his enemies. His absence might be the signal for open dissatisfaction. What more easy than to spread a rumour of his being ill—of cutting the wires to prevent the transmission of news; and in the con sequent uncertainty and confusion to inaugurate disorder and revolution. These are the suggestions of prudence. The journey may, and will be, it is to be hoped, accomplished without such a calamity; but they present important and grave considerations which should not have been disregarded. pe , ' ir r ' .._- ~, , k 4 ak:e; being left to the administr 'M u r:::!"-: ! where it would seem that, le' :: - -: 4 't • ~,.;; 1 .74, than diminishing the effici ' il 411j' • partments and the army, he ie: .'• 1. 12 • in effecting some useful reforms an it estbling a considerable reduction of expenditure.

(From the North British Daily Mail.) On Monday night M. Karl Blind, at the request of the Polish Committee, delivered a lecture in the City Hall on " Poland and Germany." The attendance was very small, the hall not being more than half filled. The chair was oc cupied by W. P. Paton, Esq., in the absence of W. Bu chanan, Esq., M.P., and the illustrious lecturer was accom panied to the platform by, amongst others, the Rev. Mr. Cuppage, Messrs. William Burns, John M'Adam, William M'Adam, Robert M'Tear, Matthew Cullen, &c. The CHAIR3fAN stated that he appeared there on that platform to show his sympathy for that noble people the Poles: He was happy to say that notwithstanding the fear ful odds with which the Polish nation has to contend, the struggle did not at present seem altogether desperate. He hoped from the countenance given to these gallant men by Britain, France, and other nations that they would be suc cessful in the struggle which they had now so well com menced. He also trusted that the sympathies of Contiaental and British Governments for the Poles weuld lead the Czar to reconsider his mode of ruling the Poles, and cause him to break the bonds which at present bound them. (AP plause.) The Chairman introduced M. KARL BLIND, who was received with loud applause. He commenced by remarking that a few months ago it seemed quite an impossibility that a national insurrection of thai noble people, the Poles, could ever be accomplished, yet even now they were combating successfully with the legions of the Czar. Though that brave leader Langiewicz had been captured, the end of Poland has not yet come. Nations did not die through the defeat of their leaders—they only died if they despaired themselves. (Applause.) The Polish nation was still on the field. " Poland," as the patriot song had it," is not yet lost." (Applause.) Perhaps they might be beaten, but even their defeat would be a moral victory. So far, however, the undisciplined hosts of the insurgents have kept at bay whole legions of the Czar, and if despair there was, it was not amongst the Poles, it was in the heart of the Muscovite Autocrat whose humane qualities it had been the fashion of late to extol, but whose acts against the Poles had been characterised by a ferocity which was nearly allied to cowardice. Much debate had been going on as to whether the present outbreak was prepared beforehand, or whether it broke out in consequence of that act of conscription by the Czar, by which it was intended to carry away all the best energies and the best lives of the Polish nation. Well, to some extent the rising had been planned before hand, and how could it be otherwise, s hen for years past there had been the most cold-blooded butcheries of grey- hailed men and innocent women and children, whose blood cried out for vergeance ? (Applause.) The rising was planned beforehand, though the preparations had scarcely began ; but it was also ti uc that the outbreak of the insur rection was materially hastened by the notorious conscrip tion of the Czar. That conscription was an act unparalleled even in the history of despotism—the taking away of every citizen for a soldier who was suspected of entertaining either a love of freedom or a love of fatherland. The women of Poland, the lecturer was happy to say, played their part well in this heroic crisis. In no nation in the whole world did the flame of love of liberty burn more brightly than in the hearts of the women of the Polish nation—(applause)— and it was fortunate that it was so, for it was the enthu siasm of the women of Poland which had given strength of resistance to the comparatively small number of insurgents against the large armies of the Czar. M. Blind then went on at some length to narrate many of the atrocities of which the Government of the Czar had been guilty towards the Poles. These are matters of history—the illegal conscrip tions, the arbitrary closing at schools, the suppression of Universities, the abolition of the Polish language in all offi cial intercourse, the kidnapping of children, and the trans portation of thousands to remote parts of the empire and to labour in the mines. The aggressive and aggrandising cha racter of Russian policy was next dwelt upon, and illus trated by historical facts, recent and more remote. A great feature of the present Polish movement was that the chief part was taken by the middle and lower classes. It had been said that this showed that the middle class were tinged with republican principles, but, so far as he knew, it was not correct to say that republican theories were adopted in Po land at the present moment. But even if that was so, what harm could come of it ? (Applause.) Was not Britain at this moment in most harmonious intercourse with the Swiss nation, whose Government he looked upon as quite a model ? Moreover, Poland had been a republic before, and what harm could possibly come if she were to become so again ? But this was not a question for the present time. The work to be done in this country just now was to have large meet ings in favour of the independence of Poland, to acknow ledge the right of the Poles to carry on the war, furnish ing them with pecuniary means in aid of their sacred cause —(applause)—and who knew, if all that were done, and the insurrection continued to spread, but the weight of Great Britain might at last be employed to turn the balance r • The lecturer concluded by making a brief reference to Ger- • Having' expressed his determination to go, it is hardly likely that the Sultan will be deterred from his object. There is however one hope, and that is in the weather, which at this moment is against such a journey. Should it remain unfavourable for a few days wiser counsels may in that time prevail.
