The Union Relief Aid Act Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord DALHOUSIE, in asking whether the Gover ment intended to take any steps to consolidate the Metropolitan and City Police, particularly dwelt on the shortcomings of the City Police on the occasion of the recent Royal procession, and strongly urged the propriety of amalgamating the City and Metro politan Police services as the only means of prevent ing the recurrence of such scenes. Earl GRANVILLE stated that the Home Secretary had written to the Lord Mayor in reference to the matter, but no answer had been received. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE explained the steps he had taken to induce the city authorities to accept a military force for preserving order on the occasion of the entry of the Princess Alexandra into the city. He contended that the metropolitan and city forces should be amalgamated, and under the con- , trol of one instead of two authorities. Lord TAUNTON was strongly in favour of the amalgamation of the two forces. Their lordships then adjourned. In the House of Commons, in answer to Mr. LONGFIELD, Mr. LAYARD said that since the breaking out of the civil war in America all communications be tween her Majesty's Government and that of the United States on the subject of the island of San Juan had been suspended. On the motion for going into committee on the Tobacco Duties Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to Mr. Ayrton, who had given notice of a motion to refer the bill to a select committee, not to press that motion, on the ground that it was without precedent to submit a financial question to a select committee, thus taking the responsibility from the Minister of Finance. Mr. AYILTON controverted the arguments against going into a select committee, and moved his amend ment, which, on a division, was lost by 170 to 87. The House then went into committee, when, after some remarks on the measure, the clauses were agreed to and the House resumed. The House then went into committee on pro_ the r Corrupt Practices at Elections renewing gress at Clause 8, which, after some discussion and amendments, was agreed to, Some clauses were added to the bill, and the House resumed. The Telegraphs Bill was then taken in exntnittee. The other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at ten minutes to one o'clock. In spite of popular sympathy and public decla mation, in spite cf the pompous eloquence of rulers, and the ready enthusiasm of peoples, the animated discussions in the French Senate and the English Parliament, and the cordial unanimity of the press Of both countries, it would seem that the apathy with which the gres.t Western Powers looked on the crises of Polish fate in 1'772, 1795, and 1831, is to be re peated in the eventful struggle of 1863. The English Ministry make no sign, save a few courteous re marks to an ambassador ; a French Minister yester day declared that "a fresh insurrection can only bring fresh misfortunes,and it is neither good, useful, nor humane to encourage it." Such words as these, reaching the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, may afford Some consolation for the new s of , I , ANGIEWICZ'S leant victories. Can it then be true that a great and free people like the English, who b oast that of liberty through out the their they are the championsworld, c hivalrous nation l f ik or e world, a gallant end French, who have so ofte n stru g gled v.inly own national privileges, will stand tamely aside kn d suffer the unequal struggle between right and might to go on, unaided by word or sign ? The truth is, that so far as the Governments cf France and England are concerned, behind their openly professed sympathy for the oppressed Poles there lurks many an arriere pensee. The Emperor of the FRENCH feels probably much the same intetest iu the resurrection of Poland as he did in the forma tion of a united Italy. Savoy arid Nice on the one hand and the Rhenish provinces on the other, invest disinterested enthusiasm for an idea with very convenient attractions. Meanwhile the suepi- cion of this possible result of hasty interference un nerves the hand of the English Foreign Secretary, and the fear lest Prussia should lose rny of her territories renders the fate .of the 'heroic Poles a matter of comparative indifference. France, unwilling to provoke a quarrel with England, and equally unwilling to spend men and money for no definite advantage, draws back from the promised interference, and thus in consequence of unchecked ambition on one side and dynastic entanglements on the other, the Poles are to be left to their own gallant swords and scythes. Fats ce gue dolt adcienne gui pourra, is no motto for our modern statesmen. They have no idea of assisting a noble cause, and leav ing future complications to be faced manfully, or treated prudently when they arise. They prefer to sit in their Cabinets and conjure up every possible danger till no course seems safe but perfect inaction. The question will probably be raised again in our English Parliament, which will not, like the French Senate, submit to the dictation of a Minister. The animated debate which included the vigorous speeches of M. Boer- JEAN and Prince NAPOLEON was abruptly termi nated by M. BILLAULT, who, after distinctly dis couraging the insurrection, recommended the Senate to express confidence in the wisdom and firmness of the EMPEROR by passing to the order of the day, instead of referring the petitions to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the same I time M. EILLAULT took occasion to censure very strongly the imprudence of some of the speeches, referring, of course, to those of the advocates of the Polish cause. The complaisant Senate cheered loudly this expression of Ministerial views, and immediately passed the vote for proceeding to the order of the day, by 109 to 17. It is something, perhaps, under the circumstances, to find a minority at all, something that the motion was not carried without a protest. The forcible and eloquent discourse of Prince Napoleon, which will be found in another part of our impression, bad little favour in his eyes, nor the earnest and im pressive words in which the Prince declared that the spectre of Poland would be constantly re-appear ing until her wrongs were redressed, for, he added, with truth and spirit—" There is no statute of limitations for crimes of the nature of those which are committed against unfortunate Poland." The danger, he added, will exist as long as the policy of postponement. Without of course subscrib ing to all his views, the general tone and tenour of his speech will find an echo in this country. Meanwhile the Poles are upholding their own cause with undiminished vigour. A telegram from Tarnow announces that Langiewicz defeated the Russians under the com mand of General Schachowsky on March 17th and 18th, capturing at the same time large quantities of war material, so that he will now be enabled to call out some of his re serves. News from Lithuania tells us that all the marshals of corporations, all judicials, and other functionaries, have tendered their resignation en masse basing those resignations on their refusal to re ceive any communication from the Government in the Russian language. This will greatly strengthen the cause of the insurgents, and will show the Rus sians the strength and vitality of the national spirit they have provoked. Truly the Poles may say, in Byron's words, " In native swords and native ranks The only hope of freedom dwells." But in spite of scheming Emperors, family influ ence, and timorous statesmen, the sympathies of Europe are with them in their noble struggle to be free, and the success which the hordes of despots cannot command may crown the efforts of a noble and self-relying people. A voice comes to us across the Atlantic, speaking if not " with most miraculous organ," at any rate very persuasively, in reference to the difficult and long-vexed Problem of Secondary Punishments. A little roll of paper, turning out upon examination to be an octavo pamphlet of 23 pages in all, is the speaking-trumpet through which this voice resounds to us from the distance of Bermuda. The writer of this pamphlet, which is briefly entitled " Obser vations on the Operations of the Penal Servitude Laws," addresses his reader from first to last from be hind the mask of the anonymous. Concealed though his identity is, nevertheless, it is an easy matter at once to recognize from the whole tone •and drift of his argument that the author is at the least a man having an ample range of experience, a man who is to a very consi derable extent master of his subject, and one who is not indifferently endowed with the in-born capacities essential to an Administrator. If only from the lucidity of the argument throughout, we should have read this pamphlet with pleasure. We have read it with pleasure, however, also for quite other reasons. Because, for example, of its constituting a singularly well timed epitome of the " whole" argument upon both sides —wonderfully well-timed, it happens, seeing that the brochure reaches us in a manner simultaneously with the close of the labours of the Commission which has now been some time sitting, with a view to the systematic investigation of the difficulties surrounding the very problem of which the pamphlet before us treats. The pamphleteer, far away there in the Somers' Islands, though he has is heard echoed to him from the remote fatherland, through the Press, all that has been so long and painfully familiar to us in regard to the Garotters, Tickets of Leave, Penal Servitude, Transportation, the English .Sys tem of Convict Discipline under Sir JOSHUA JEBB, the Irish System under Sir WALTER CROF TON. He has listened attentively. He has read thoughtfully. he writes now—upon a matter he has manifestly well considered—writes quite dis passionately and quite deliberately. As conveying to us the opinions of one observiLg our social and moral dilemma in this matter from a distance, and yet with the profoundest sympathy, the argu ment mentioned in this little apropos pamphlet from Bermuda is really and truly entitled to our very_ earnest consideration. The author of it, beginning with the beginning, sets out with a reference to the fact that eleven ten years ago secondary punishments—that is to say, punishments less than death, just short of being capital, consisted of imprisonment rarely ex tending over two years, and of transportation ex tending from seven years to life. He recalls to recollection the circumstance that it was by the Penal Servitude Act of 1853 that this system of secondary punishments was terminated, or at rate 1 1 transformed. It retained in force, this notable Act of Parliament, the system of transportation,in graver cases, term of esf periods of fourteen years and upwards, to the rest of the criminal's natural exist ence. For the shorter sentence substituting " penal or imprisonment e co n r t ta w in ith pe h r a io r d d s la w b h o i tt e r h ei w th e e re r a se t r h v o it m ud e e o o r considered equivalent to, though far less in dura tiontransportation they than, the sentences of pam phleteer, the ness„ by the By this Act also, th e reader is reminded (angled system of Tickets-of-Leave was established. Licenses to be at large, in other word s, were dis p ensed to the more orderly or hypocritical among the felons—simply THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVEiNING, 20,. 1863. and solely in order that the Government might be enabled, as they were enabled, thereby to get rid of nearly ten thousand prisoners, then (in 1853) in durance vile, under sentence of transportation ! As early as three years after the passing of this Act, however, the Committee of 1856 showed quite plainly that the consequences even then were becoming very flagrant. If allowed to increase and multiply, it was felt that these consequences might become (as they have, even under modified circumstc.nees) really dis astrous. Hence the supplementary set of 1857, repealing certain clauses in the act of 1853, and nominally making the sentences of penal servitude under this new arrangement equivalent in appearance at least to the sentences of transportation; As the deduction drawn from a few very simple calcu lations given upon pages 5 and 6 of this clever little pamphlet from Bermuda, the writer of it proves, be yond ell chance of doubt, that under the Penal Servi tude Scheme, as thus modified in 1857, fully one thou sand more criminals "are now annually let loose upon society," than under the old system of tran sportation, under the continued operation of which, by the , way, those lawless felons would have still been required to expiate their crimes by perpetual exile in remote colonies. According to the—to say the least of them—indiscreet arrangements that were made at the time of the substitution of Penal Servi- I tude for Transportation, a secondary punishment has been instituted, "nominally less in extent, ac tually far less in duration," and at the same time one frequently subjected since then, most con fusedly, to divers "changes and modifications, both in extent and in character." So confusedly has this been done in point of fact, that it is really in no way rash to assert, in so many words, that no prisoner under the new system can in any way conjecture,with air approximation to certainty, what is the precise amount of punishment he will have to un dergo, forecasting the probabilities of that punishment from the actual wording of his sentence. " For example," says the Bermuda pamphleteer, coming directly to the point, so far as he can possibly contrive to do so by the logical as well as the rhetorical device of enforcing his argu ment by illustration—" A prisoner who has com mitted an offence which would formerly have been followed by transportation for seven years, may under the Act 1857 be sentenced to Penal Ser vitude for any period between three and seven years. Supposing his conduct in prison to be good this sentence may mean imprisonment in England for any period between two and a half years, and five years and three months. It may mean the same term of imprisonment partly in England, and partly in Bermuda, or Gibraltar, with re lease at the end of the time in England, and consequent restoration to friends, associates, and former practices. It may mean impri sonment for part of the time in England, and a removal to West Australia where on libera- tion he finds a return home all but impracticable. Lastly it may mean an imprisonment partly in England, and partly in Bermuda, or Gibraltar, and eventual removal to, and release in, West Australia." Defining admirably the injurious effects resulting from all which uncertainty, the writer sententiously, almost wittily, pronounces the condemnation of this most mistaken system, or in fact, no•system, by saying—"lt supplements the chance of impunity." Then there are—added Co this pernicious multiplication for the felon of the chances of his impunity—there are those now notorious evi dences of overmuch solicitude for his creature com forts during the period when he is nominally un dergoing punishment I Enough, however, has here been remarked in reference to the preliminary por- tions of the argument comprised in this welcome re minder from Bermuda of the circumstances under which Penal Servitude became incorporated with cal in a great measure substituted for the far simpler and, it is impossible to deny it, far more effectual system of Transportation to Penal Settle ments. The most important ptart of the writer's argument we have yet to glance at, namely, his contrast of the English and Irish systems for car rying out this scheme of Secondary Punishments by means of Penal Servitude. HENRI DRAYTON'S ENTERTAINMENT. One of the latest additions to the entertainments of the metropolis is that of Mr. Henri Drayton, entitled, "Federals and Confederates," which he gives nightly at the Polygraphic Hall, King William-street, Strand, with unbounded ap plause. It consists of vivid descriptions of scenery and incidents connected with the different States at present torn by civil war, interspersed with a number of.new and very excellent songs. The first part is devoted to the "Federals," the war fever in New York, the departure of the volun teers, and some comic nigger incidents, which serve to enliven the more serious portions of the. entertaiment. The " Southern States" form the subject of the second part, and, although, of course, there is somewhat of the serious ele ment, the comic comes in most effectually at pre cisely the proper time. Mr. Drayton gives us a capital description of the cotton, sugar, and tobacco plantations; and the nigger ditties are highly humorous, especially one entitled " Down among the cotton." Of course we have the national song of. the South, known to us ail as " Dixey's Land," which Mr. Drayton sings with such spirit and enthusiasm that he procinces quite a sensation amongst the audience. During the evening he also introduces Russell's celebrated song, the "Dream of the Reveller" with very great effect. Mr. Drayton pssesses the qualifications for a public entertainer in a very eminent degree he is a good elocutionist, a brilliant instrumentalist, and a fine vocalist, added to which his manner is affability and good' humour itself. We can confidently recom mend a visit to the " Federals and Confederates," with the full assurance that those who visit the pretty little Hall will thank us for directing their attention to so capital ac entertainment. ►SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD. —A serious accident, which it is feared may yet result in loss of life, occurred yesterday morning at Wool. with dockyard. It appears that a party of riggers were employed in drawing a truck, upon which was placed the mainyard of a vessel under repair, when the timber cover ing of a deep aperture in the yard gave way under the weight passing over it, causing the 'ehicle to sink, and the mainyard fell upon two of the men, named Edward King and William Roberts, who were both severely crushed, the former having a leg, and the latter several of his ribs broken, with internal injuries. The sufferers were removed to the Royal Marine Hospital, where King had his leg amputated, and both men now remain in a very dangerous condition. The timber cover of the aperture, the latter being connected with the capstan, was found to be in a rotten condition, which was the cause of the accident. t SPRING an di TS n g F t L h E e E rew .— as S au strong t E r L o Ds n g , wel March up o l n B t . N he bar of iE th th e s Tyne—between three and four feet sea—a large fleet of laden vessels, many of them of large tonnage, sailed from this port this afternocn. The fleet of noble vessels, with their cargoes, were of immense value, they being the second and most important section of the Spring Fleet that has sailed within the past two or three days. The after noon was remarkably fine, and as vessels not only poured out of the Tyne, but the Wear, Blyth, and all the adjacent ports, the North Sea off the coasts of Durham and Nor thumberland was covered with shipping, and presented a magnificent spectacle when the ships got under canvas. The fleets of vessels which have sailed to-day from the North-eastern ports are bound for every quarter of the globe, and represent ships belonging to almost every nation that has a mercantile marine. FAIAL ACCIDENT AT POZT TALBOT.-011 Tues day afternoon a respectably dressed lady took an express ticket at the Port Talbot station for Swansea. As she was crossing the line in order to go to the down plat form she was run over by a goods train, which killed her on the spot. The body was badly mutilated. The name and address of the deceased were unknown up to the time of this report leaving, cut to pieces or captured by the rebel forces. They Lught desperately, but the ammunition became ex hausted, and the Unionists, overpowerc-d by ,supc rior numbers, were either killed or c.iptured. The cavalry and artillery got off safely. No reinforcement from General Gilbert, at Frank lin, reached the scene of action. There were seven regiments of Usionists at that place. Van Dorn is reported to have eighteen thousand men under his command. Further details of the fight at Franklin yester day have been received. Five regiments of in fantry and one battery of the Eighteenth Ohio, with the Ninth Pennsylvania and Second Michigan cavalry, all under commend of Colonel Coburn of the Thirty-third Indiana, advanced on Springville on the 4th inst. Several spirited skirmishes occurred during the day, cur troops camping four miles distant. On the sth a movement was appa rent, and during some disoider on our left, they suddenly opened on our men with three bttteries, on different poibts, at the same time. The enemy also appeared on each filnk in greatly superior force. The unequal contest was maintained with great determination, with heavy loss on both sides, and resulted unfortunately to our troops ; a large part of the Thirty-third Indiana, Nineteenth Michigan, Twenty-second Wisconsin, and Eighty•fifth Indiana, with the most of their commissioned officers, being captured. Our artil lery and cavalry were succeaully withdrawn. The One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Ohio was out, but returned without loss. All is quiet to day. The rebels have fallen back. Their force was in fantry, with heavier artillery than ours. General Gilbert's non-action in failing to rein force Colonel Coburn is severely censured by the officers and men. A large meeting was held in New York last night. The following resolutions were passed, and speeches made : Resolved, That it is the duty of every citizen to unite in all proper efforts to preserve and perpetuate the Union in accordance with the constitution. Resolved, That the conduct of disaffected persons, claim ing to be citizens of the United States, yet zealous in their attempts to embrace and impede the action of the legally constituted authcrities, and in the utterance of treasonable sentiments, deserves and should receive the condemnation of every loyal citizen. Resolved, That the loyal people of New York hereby pledge their fortunes, their influence, and their honour to the support of the national authority in every vigorous and determined effort, by force of arms, on sea and land, to secure a complete and final suppression of the causeless and atrocious insurrection which now desolates our country. Resolved, That the army and navy of the United States owe their undivided allegiance to the constitution they have sworn to Support and defend, and that no soldier or sailor can rightfully hesitate in his obedience to the commands of superiors in rank whore authority is derived from the Go vernment of the nation. Resolved, That every citizen owes allegiance to the Go vernment, and he who denies its authority or fails in his duty to uphold the honour of its flag, is an abetter of trea son, and should suffer the penalty duo to his crime. Resolved, That this meeting, under solemn convictions of duty, and in a firm reliance on the justice of that Pro vidence which guides and guards governments and peoples, does hereby resolve itself into a lo) al league of Union citi zens, pledged to an unconditional support of the Govern ment in all its constitutional efforts to suppress the rei,el - and an uncompromising opposition to treason in what ever form it appears. Resolved, That the committee of this meeting be the cfficers and committee of the Loyal Union League of the citizens of New York, and that each person present is a member of the league. Prince Napoleon on the Polish Insurrection. Prince Napoleon, in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, said—lt will be readily understood that I have nothing to reply to the speech of the Marquis de la Itochejaquelein, If the slightest doubt had been possible, it would have been re moved from your minds by the words which you have just heard. I heartily thank Count Walewski for having delivered them, and I declare that they completely satisfy me. I have only one regret to express, which is, that Count Walewski did not confine himself to those words which he repeated with an energy which resounded in my soul : " is false ! It is false! It is false !" That, in my opinion, is all that the speech of the Marquis merited. (Murmurs.) I now return to the calm ness of discussion, for the speech to which I have alluded is not of a nature to produce impression enough in the country to make me depart from it. I begin by declaring that he had no intention of speaking, and what had taken place proves that silence would have been opportune. I found that there was an advantage for every one—for the country, for the Government, and for the Senate— to bring about a unanimous, or almost unanimous, vote. In order to obtain that vote, I was ready to make every sacrifice. The committee, morever, had itself hesitated on the course to be adopted. I had besides heard—and be assured that in giving those details on my own responsibility, I do not make myself the echo of vague rumours coming from sources which I could not mention—l had heard that the Government had shown it self undecided, and that it had been in contem plation to refer the matter, in the form of a vote of confidence, to the Emperor. I should, I confess, have preferred that solution to any other, and it is only because I am forced to it that I now speak. I do not come to perform an act of opposition. I am not in the habit, and my adversaries themselves will do me that justice, of concealing my sentiments. I could have wished in fact not to speak. I well un derstand how difficult it is to discuss when all the elements of discussion are wanting. I feel great sympathy for the Poles, but I am completely de prived of the necessary information as to the prac tical means of action, in order to exprees those sym pathies by political acts. I can very easily point out the tendency which I should wish to see develop itself in the conduct of the French Government. But must war be made, or must it not P I cannot say. Have we allies P What is the situation abroad? [hat I am ignorant of. A foreign diplomatist is now on a journey, and the whole of Europe is preoccu pied with that excursion. In order to have an opi nion on that fact it would be necessary that I should have the portfolio of Prince de Metternich before me, but I have not. The Government alone knows what is to be thought on that important point. No useful discussion can take place except on events which have been accomplished. F r instance, we were able to discuss the Italian question, for on that everything was known. You are well aware that on that subject I epproved of the past, cad endeavoured to impel the French Government torward as regards the futuie. The Senate united with me in approving of what had taken place, but oe the other point it was not of my opinion. In the present case the situation is not the same ; we art on unknown ground ; we do not possess the elements of discussion, and that, I repeat, is why I did not wish to speak. The report of the committee has, however, compelled me to do so. There are in that document many points of which I approve, but there are others, and particularly the conclu sion come to, which I differ from. I confess that on hearing the report, I expected a proposition of referring the question to the Minister o f Forei g n Affairs, but the conclusion surprised me. The re port resembles a sentence of condemnation when all the reasoning had appeared to tend to an ac quittal. On finding that the order of the day was proposed, I found it impossible not to come forward. I cm well aware of all that we have to expect from the; ability of the Government -speaker; he will endeavour to show that the order of the day h as nothing that can be blam ed b y the opinions which I defend, and nothing that opposes their expansion. Those are all Parliamentary quibbles at which we must not stop ; I prefer to attend to th e di ctates o f plain common sense. 'Diem are three plans to be p adopted with regard toetitionb—th e previous question, the order of the day, and referring them to the Minister. The previous question, except by five or six members, has no great ehanec of being su pported in this Assembly. Next cornea the order of the day, which w oun d s my f ee li ngs , an d — which is more serious—off en d s a no t a bl e part of public opinion in France. Last, came thereferenoe to the Government, which I should have preferred; not a reference for any particular motive, but pure and simple, and voted with confidence and unani mity. Distrusting my own warmth, I should not have raised my voice to trouble the general accord; in that way I should not have compromised any ow). Did I then fear the dangerous results of a decision emanating - from you ? No. I have a great respect for the votes of the Senate, but I know that they leave bat a very indirect influence on the resolutions of the Government relative to oar foreign policy. What I wished was this—to prevent the Senate from suffering in public opinion. It is in your own interest that I could wish to see a unanimous vote in the sense I have indicated. For if it is true that a vote of the Senate has no influence on the vast projects of theErnperor, it is not the less true that a vote of the &nate may have some weight in the eyes of foreign nations. Well, then ! It would be a good thing to find the great bodies of the State grouping themselves compactly round the Government with unanimou confidence, and thus enabling it to display the flag of France gloriously before Europe in one of the most momentous of causes. (Applause.) I believe that a simple reference, unanimously voted, is preferable to an order of the day, which might give rise to much misunderstanding and regret. When I heard Viscount de la Gueronniere speaking yesterday about the treaties of 1815, I fancied that many of my colleagues, better versed in the diplo matic history of the century than myself or the Viscount, must have smiled. If lam well informed, nothing can be less exact than the sketch drawn by the hon. Viscount. I think lam well informed enough to say that the following was what took place at Vienna :—The Emperor Alexander, obeying rather a personal sentiment than a political or libe ral policy, wished to reconstitute the kingdom of Poland, but he was prevented by Prussia, by Austria, and by other Powers besides. Prussia and Austria, not content with having Posen and Gallicia, said, "If you reconstitute a great Poland, give her to me." Then the statesmen named yesterday—the Talleyrande, the Haidembergs, the Castlereaghs—pronounced their sentence :—" No—we must have no Poland in such terms—no Poland liberally constituted." Thus it was that the realisation of the projects of Alexander was frustrated by Prussia, Austria, and the diplo macy of 1815. My opinion relative to the reminis cences of 1815 is well known,—they make me ill— they oppress me. I could wish that the treaties of 1815 should never be mentioned in the French Chambers unless with execration—above all I could wish that the inspirations of a Government having Napoleon III: at its head, should never be drawn from the tendencies of that disastrous epoch. Admit that you do nothing for Poland, the Emperor will I am sure do something ; I have confidence in his intentions and in his heart. But in that case the order of the day will be in contradiction with his own conduct. Under any circumstances, the vote of that order of the day will be a great misfortune. Do nothing ! Do you therefore wish to have the spectre of Poland constantly before your eyes? In 5, in 10, ur in 20 years you will see it again, for there is no sta tute of limitation for crimes of the nature of those which are committed against unfortunate Poland. The danger will exist so long as the policy of post ponement be ❑ot set aside. Never were circum stances so favourable as they now are for putting an end to this f.rmidable question. The Emperor is in the full vigour of his age aed of his genius ; his Government, thanks to the wars of the Crimea and of Italy, has a great prestige.abroad, and great strength at home. There are aroued him passions which are not strange in a vigorous nation like the French, but those passions are not turned against the Government. There are also bad tendencies in some parts of society, but I confess that they do not alarm me. The Government enjoys great power end prestige both at home and abroad. It is a favourable moment to undertake a great cause. A 'Voice—We can leave the decision to the Emperor. _ Princo Napoleon—By referring petitions to him you do not advise the graniing of all their prayers. Marshal Baraguay O'Hilliers—He would not do so, if you did. Prince Napoleon—l accept the interruption. What inconvenience can arise from referring peti. tions, when the Emperor would not follow the advice given, especially if unsound P A simple reference is all that is necessary. A Voice—But it would no longer have the same meaning after your remarks. Prince Napoleon—l now come to the great objec. tion. We are told—" You wart war." To that I reply—'. No ;" but I don't want peace either. (Cries of Ah !ah ! and laughter.) Your interruptions do not embarrass me, because I know the Senate, and expected them. What can be done? I know not, nor is it my business to know. I do not pretend to be discussing either a military or a diplomatic plan. As a simple senator, how can Ibe sufficiently acquainted with the state of affairs to advise any decision P We cannot indicate the course to be followed, but we can at least defend the cause of Poland. That is neither war nor peace. lam no advocate for war. I know its dangers, and feel that it should not he undertaken without mature reflec tion. But be careful not to weaken your Govern ment abroad, by advising peace. I know that herr' our opponents have another argument at command. When we defend the cause of Italy, they call us Italians ; and Poles when we speak in favour of Poland. We are in reality liberal Frenchmen. We defend the cause of nations, in accord with the feel ings and interests of France. As an encourage ment to my friends, I will ask, on what question has France ever been more unanimous ? On many points I differ widely from an eminent author, Count de Montalembert, bnt on this ques tion our opinions are the same. (Noise.) He has published a pamphlet which I have read with deep interest, and have reason to congratulate both him and myself. (Noise.) Ido not think we ought to reject the aid of an opponent when we meet him on common ground, however we may disagree on other matters. I cannot believe that you will refuse to refer these petitions to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is impossible. I see before me a Minister, who in his youth bravely fought on the fields of Grodno and Oatrolenska; would he vote the order of the day ? No! There are here brave generals who have shed their blood on the glorious battlt fields of the Empire; will they vote the order of the day ? Several Voices—Yes ! why not ? Prince Nepal( on—l have still before me the gene rals who led our soldiers in the Crimea against the Russians. Can they vote for the order of the day P No! I repeat. Nor can I believe that the venerable ' prelates, who sit in this assembly, will consent to declare the,nselves against Catholics. (Interruption.) If, however, it should be otherwise, leave me my illusions ; or, if you deprive me of them, let it not be all at once ; let me still entertain some confidence. And the judges, too, who sit on these benches, will they be able to accept a vote which throws no blame on the violation of all rights P If you vote the order of the day, public opinion may misconstrue it and address to you reproaches from which I desire to set your conscience free. In my conviction, France, with Napoleon 111. at her head, cannot, ought not to abandon the cause of law and justice ; it is her duty to defend it ; she has done so and she will do so again. But we must use de spatch. Blood flows in torrents, and if you now abandon Poland, the massacre will last a loog time. Act then immediately ! In what way P Ido not, I cannot knew. (Interruption, "Ah ! ah !") But act at any rate. The insurrection will lsst if it is encouraged; let the Emperor do what he thinks it is possible to do, but let not the Senate pass a vote that may be wrongly interpreted. Let every man vote according to his conscience. I, for one, have confidence in the cause wt ich the Emperor shall , take in hand. (Loud applause.) LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

PALAIS BELLE ISLE, MARCH 20. The French steamer from Mexico, with news from Vera Cruz, to the 15th February, is in sight. Le Sado of to-day says that the indignation which the cruel oppression under which Poland has so long groaned ought in reason alone to excite, that the maledictions that ought alone to be pro nounced at all times and under all circumstances over the Treaties of Partition have now been expressed with all becoming energy by the Prince Napoleon. As the Prince Napoleon has demon strated, it adds, the Polish Question ought not in any way be a mere party quk•stion. In regard to it all classes of French society are of one mind. All France, upon this one point is in accord. Nay more—at London as at Paris, at Stockholm as at Naples and at Turin, cordial acclamations encourage the glorious defenders of Polish independence- AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 20.

Accounts from Nashville show that a renewal of the fight between the Federals end the force under Van Dorn had taken place at Springville, near Franklin, Tennessee. General Van Dorn is said to have had 18,000 men under his command, and the Federals, being inferior in numbers, were defeated. Three regiments of infantry, under Coburn, of the 33d Indiana, were entirely cut to pieces or cap tured. The cavalry and artillery escaped. The men fought splendidly throughout the whole day, but the heavy fire of the batteries in front, and the movements of superior numbers on the flanks, were too much for them. Gen. Gaut was expected to come up with reinforcements from Franklin, but he did not arrive. The rebel account of the capture of the Indianola near Vicksburg, by the rebel rams Webb and Queen of the West, is officially reported by General Tay lor, commanding at that point, which he says was accomplished by an expedition sent out by Litn for that purpose under Major J. L. Bent. He admits that the Indianola is a good deal damaged, and another report states that she is sunk on the Mis sissippi side of the river, and that her upper works and boats have been taken out. Advices from Port Royal to Cbarleston state that the Union fleet now in the vicinity of that city numbers one hundred and twenty three vessels, including three frigates and twenty gunboats, with an immense crowd of transports and a force of 30,000 men. The California steamer Northern Light, from As pinwall, which arrived at this port yesterday, re ports being chased by a mysterious propeller off the coast of Florida, who, when first seen, was flying the Stars and Stripes, Union down—a signal of distress. But before making towards the vessel she hauled down the flag, put steam on, and gave chase; but, as Captain Tinklepaugh had a million and a quarter of specie on board the Northern Light, he made all th, speed he could, and outran his pursuer. The conduct of the Lord Mayor of London in feting Mr. Mason, the Minister of the Confederate Government, was strongly reprobated. _ _ In the United States Senate yesterday, the Stand ing Committees were announced by the Presi dent pro tempore, Mr. Foot. A resolution was introduced for the printing of ten thousand copies of the mechanical part of the Patent Office report and four thousand copies of the acts and joint resolutions of the late session of Con. gress. The proposed additional rule of the Senate Was called up. It requires that the oath of loyalty passed by Congress in July last shall be subscribed to by members of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives. A long debate took place on the propo sition to enforce the rule ; but, before doing so, the Senate weht into executive session. During the day several messages were received from the Presi• dent. On the conclusion of the executive session discussion was resumed on the proposal to admini ster to the new senators the loyal oath, after which Mr. Foot took the oath, and all the new senators present followed his example. Without transacting any other business the Senate adjourned. The following additional despatches are published in the New York journals : Nashville, March 6.

TESTIMONIAL TO A SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE. —Yesterday evening a number of ladies and gentle men assembled in the St. James's Vestry Hall, Piccadilly, their object being one of a most pleasing nature, namely, to present Mr. Charles Webb, now superintendent of the L division of pirlice, but formerly an inspector of the C divi sion, with a very handsome testimonial. Mr, It. D. Box, churchwarden of St. James's, presided, and, in presenting the testimonial, referred in highly eulogistic terms to the services rendered to the inhabitants of the district by Mr. NV bb during a period of 24 years, and also to the assistance afforded by him to the visitors at the International Exhibi tion. Mr. Box said that the subscribers to the iestinionial were a fair representation of the parishioners by whom Mr. Webb's services were appreciated. Mr. Webb returned thanks in appropriate terms, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and the proceedings terminated. The testimonial consisted of a superbly chased silver tea service, of the value of £6O, manufactured by Messrs. Garrard, and of a handsome gold hunting watch and chain, of the value of £4O, made by Messrs. G and H. Tupraan, of Old Bond-street. On one of the pieces of plate is the following inscription—the watch having a similar one:— '° Presented at a public meeting held at the Vestry Hall, St. James's, on the 19th March, 1863, to Mr. Charles Webb, Superintendent of the L division, on his leaving the parish of St. James's, for long and faithful services while Inspector of the or St. James's division, by a few of the parishioners of the district who knew his worth and value. —lt. D. Box, Churchwarden." ST. THOMAS'S HCSFITAL.—A special meeting of the governors of Bethlehem took place onWednesday afternoon, to consider a suggestion from the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital to the following effect :—That the surveyors 01 the two hospitals should meet to ascertain the approximate cost of buileing a new hospital in the country, to accommodate 400 lunatic patients. This suggestion gave rise to a considerable discussion, it being ultimately resolved that the governors of BethleheniHuspital do not object to the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital employing Mr. smirke, their architect, in conjunction with any other architect, to ascertain the probable cost of building a new hospital for the reception of lunatic patients; but it must be distinctly understood that they (the governors of Bethlehem) will not be bound by any sue, opinion ; and that the only condition upon which they can consent to entertain such a proposi tion for the exchange of sites must be that the governors of St. Thomas's will undertake to build for Bethlehem a new hospital upon such site, and upon such plan, and with 8.) much accommodation as they (governors of Bethlehem) shall approve; and that the governors of St. Thomas's shall pay all Colts of removal, and every other expense in cident thereupon or connected with the said new hospital. A meeting of the grand coiemittee of St. Thomas's Hospi tal, to discuss the resolution adopted by the governors of Bethlehem,will shortly take place. I, is, however, surmised that the great expense attendant upon complying with the conditions set down by the Bethlehem governore,which will probably amount to nearly £300,000, must render the scheme a financial impossibility. SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OFFICER AT PORTSMOUTH. —A paiutul sensation was caused in PlalbLlAUlli h, on Wednesday evening, by the sudden death of an officer in the street. It appears that Lieut -Colonel J. N. W emyss, C. 8., of the Royal Marine Artillery, was coming to Ports weuth from Southsea, accompanied by two ether gentle wee, and on arriving near the inner guardhouse, at the King William gate, he complained of sudden pain in the side, and sank down upon the stonework supporting the iron palisades enclosing the governor's green. lvledical aid was promptly obtained, but the gallant officer expired almost immediately, and the body was removed in a cab. It is supposed that death resulted from disease of the heart, but the borough coroner will make an official inquiry this evening. SPARROWS FOR AUSTRALIA.—The st-Deutsche lost of Vienna states that a great quantity of sparrows are about to be sent off to Australia, the Society of Accli matation. of Melbourne having given an older for a great nuwber of those birds, to deatioy the caterpillars, which have increased in an extraordinary way in that colony.
