The bom bardment continued with short intervals until Oct. 26, when Barrios suddenly, and without notice abandoned the capital at 4 o'clock in the morning, accompanied by about 1,500 men, a large number of women and children, and to ok the road to Apopa the - (north-west), whence he went towar d ment of San Miguel. In the la st da y s s ing of his capital, Barrios had m ade still heavier of his depart hold- ' forced loans of goods and liquors, in w hich he paid his officers and soldiers a portion of t heir pay, and . which they again sold to procure their d ail y rations., On the same day,and some five hours after Barrios 's departure (during which intervals many houses were robbed by the populace and troops who went with Barrios), Carrera occupied the capital with his army, marching in from all points where he had erected barricades or forts. The foreign officers who had been in the service of Barrios,and to whom he did not notify his intention to leave, were taken prisoners and were about to be shot by the cap turing party, when General Zavala and others hap pened to arrive and prevented the crime. They are still in prison, and will be taken to Guatemala and there delivered to the Ministers of Foreign Powers. These officers are Colonels Galidier, Orlafan (lather and son), Penoud, and Cousin (a Belgian), who was director of the band or chief musician. Air. Alegi!)• nis, a British subject, was surrendered to H.B.M.'s Vice-Consul, and went on board the Bacchante,lying at Liberiad at the moment. Yrungary, Oyarzan, Abelar, and Luna (the first late Minister of Relations under Barrios), were taken in their flight towards Santa Ana, and then shot. There was, of course, much disorder and a good deal of robbery in San Salvador at the moment of abandon ment, in the interval, and at the time of occupation; but Carrera took measures for the protection of pro perty, and especially of foreign property ; and, ex cept in one or two isolated cases, there was no pillage of that kind except of Cauty's Hotel, which was sacked. Parties of troops were sent out by Carrera to intercept Barrios and take him if pos sible. Steps were immediately taken to organise a Provisional Government under Don Francisco Dunes, who has been President before. General Santiago Gonzalez had gone to the department of San Miguel in pursuit of Barrios, whose companies, aides, and suite had been all taken cr presented The House of Commons Fifty Years ago.

The debates of 1812 were not expected to be reported so fully as in more recent times. Often members complained that their sayings were misrepresented. Such_ complaints were generally met by a disposition on the part of the House to punish the offender... . Thursday, the 27th of February, is to be a great Field-day in the Commons.

The prayers are read, and some uninterest ing orders of the day are disposed of. Stvaasnwellgers are crowding in, and we hold our places as we can against the rush. There are apparently two or three seats vacant on th e front bench. A wicked gentleman of the press suggests to a e- de spairing provincial that t here he may be accotum dated. Ha strides and pushes to the de sired haven, amidst a suppressed titter, and is horrorstruck to find that there he can neither see nor rear. The back of the great clock is his obstructing ei lolly. This is the standing joke nightly repeated. lte wee as successful in producing a titter as the Vinteo Danaos below, when it was the fashion for yc meg and even old members to air their musty Latin. in. bald quotations, as some lady novelists interlaed their feeble English with boarding-school French.. The routine business is over. The battle is about t o begin. Sir Thomas Turton is to bring on s motion on the state of the nation. He was a true professor of the Whig creed—that the contest agat the French Emperor was hopeless—that the Sp anish war would last as long the Peloponnesian, with little probability of suce.ess. He touched upon tie orders in Council ; but was told by the clever Minis terial supporter, Mr. Robinson, that such discussion. had better be reserved for the forthcoming debate, upon the motion of which n otice had been given. " by a learned gentleman of great talents cued exten sive information." In two years from the time 'when he had made his maiden speech, Mr. Brougham had thus become an authority i n the house. The debate of the 27th of February was spirited. it appeared likely to close at au early hour, for th e gallery was being c leared for a div ision. But Air. Whitbread rose, and called upon Lord Castlereagh to give some explanation of his views, especi se ll y upon the Catho lic q uestion, now that he was likely to become a member of the Administration. Th o Marquis Wellesley had resigned the seals of the . Foreign Office a week before. The mo st ustimportant declarations of the session were thus called forth. Mr. Perciva l and Lord Castlerea gh declared that they and th e Ministr y were unan imous against gran ti n g the Catholic claims no w .

As the steamer Salvador was lying in the harbour of La Union, on the night of the 3d November, the captain's gig was fired into about seven o'clock in the evening as the captain was going off to his ship. The shot was fired from a guard-boat placed near the ship by the authorities on shore for fear of Barrios's attempt to get on board. The ball passed within three feet of the captain's head, who, on getting on board his ship, fired his gun at the guard boat, the men on board of which had previously paddled to the shore. Afterwards, in the night, they came off and attempted to carry the guard boat to shore, but were hailed from on board the steamer, made to come on board, detained till morn ing, and sent on shore. The Commandant at first refused to allow any communication with the steamer, but, on the decided interference of the United States Minister, aided by the presence of her Britannic Majesty's ship Bacchante, which offered her assistance, he yielded to right. On the complaint of Mr. Partridge, at San Salvador, to the new authorities, they admitted the impropriety of the behaviour of Castro, and displaced him by nomi nating a new commandants (Moline) for La Union.

While with my pen in hand, permit me to add that, with better opportunity than your lordship of studying the sys tem of popular education and the state of society in the New England States, 1 did not recognise much greater accuracy in what you stated to the Haslingden meeting on those sub jects than what you said of myself.—l have, &c., The Marquis of Hartington, M.P. R. COBDEN. Chatsworth, Dec. 14. Sir,—l have only this morning received your letter of the 9th inst., and take the earliest opportunity of expressing publicly my regret for having unintentionally attributed to you a remark in your speech at Rochdale which you did not make. Having again read the reports of your and Mr. Bright's speeches, I find that Mr. Bright at the conclusion of the passage in which he spoke of the present condition of the Government and people of the United States, made use of the following words : " Look at their industry. Notwithstanding this terrific struggle, their agriculture, their manufactures and com merce proceed with an uninterrupted success." The idea expressed in this passage is so exactly identical with that of Mr. Seward, when he said that no American citizen was poorer for the war, that, although L hasten to admit the verbal inaccuracy of the question, it appears to me to be an error of the most trivial nature. I said in my speech that I was uncertain whether you or Mr. Bright had used the expression, and I am now extremely glad to find that you not only did not agree with Mr. Seward and Mr. Bright, but showed in your remarks on the occasion in the strongest and most forcible terms how disastrous must be the result to the Northern States of the frightful expendi ture of men and money which they are now incurring, and how certain is the collapse which must follow the hollow and fictitious state of prosperity which they are now enjoy ing.—l have the honour, to be, &c.. Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. Naval and Military Intelligence. HARTINGTON. so far as the case has yet proceeded it has not assumed that importance with which previously existing rumours had invested it. The proceedings are likely to contiuue for several days. SYMPATHY FOR POLAND. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark w•3B held yesterday evening at the Bridge House House Hotel, London Bridge, for the purpose of soliciting sympathy and aid for Poland. Mr. John Locke, M.P., was c a lled to the chair, and was supported by Lord Campbell, the Rev. Hugh Allen, Mr. John Vickers, Dr. Evan B. Jones, Capt. E. Dresser Rogers, Mr. Edmond Beales, &D. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceeding, said he had attended there in consequence of a requisi tion from several of his constituents, and it gave him great pleasure at all times to enable his consti- ' tuents to express their opinions. (Hear, hear.) The wrongs of Poland had been common to them ever since they could remember hearing of that country. In 1831 our Government took the same course which the present was pursuing. It was the opinion of the Government that it was not the interest of this country to go to war with Russia for the indepen dence of Poland. He did not think that either the present Government or any that would succeed, would be prepared to go to war for Poland. Such ' was the state of things, and they must take them as they were. There was a period during the Crimean war when Poland's wrongs might have been redressed, and he regretted that opportunity had not been seized. (Cheers.) But there was no knowing what might take place. A war might spring up, and then would come the time to assist, and, if possible, re-establish the independence of Poland. (Hear, hear.) That was the feeling of every one in this country, br.t they differed as to the means. Some said, "If we went to war who should we have with us ?" (Cries of "France." " Yes, and Italy and Spain.") Well, take France, and what then ? There were many who looked with a wistful eye on the other side of the Rbine. It was for them to wait events—a war might turn up, and therefore now it would be for them to make their feelings known, so that when the time came their voices would be listened to. (Hear.) It had been suggested that this country should acknowledge the Poles as belligerents. That was a step in the right direction, and would be of great service to them, as it would place them in a recognised posi tion to struggle for freedom. That would not imply war, and would meet the objections of the timid. The chairman then solicited the meeting to listen attentively to the resolutions that the speakers would propose. Mr. J. R. Taylor, the hon. secretary, read a letter from Mr. Layard in answer to an application of his to be present at that meeting. Foreign office, Dec. 14, 1863. Sir,—However much I may sympathise in the cause your meeting is called to advocate, I feel certain that in declining to attend it my motives will be understood by your chairman, and by those gentlemen who are announced to be present on the occasion.—Yours, &c., A. H. LAYARD. The Rev. HUGH ALLEN, in moving the first reso• lution, said this would not have been his place had the meeting been called for the purpose of ad vocating war, but it was not, and therefore he con tended that was his place on that occasion. All nations were so many families, and if one family suffered those around it suffered also. Poland was an ancient country, and on grounds of literature, of arts and sciences, of heroism and patriotism, de manded our sympathy and aid. He did not fear the breaking out of a war. If there was only a bold front put on by England and other countries, with a known determination to go to war if it were requi site, there would be no fear of a war breaking out. (Hear.) If firmness had been shown in 1851, there never would have been a Crimean war. But the question of Poland was one that bath Whig and rory were afraid of, and it was that very fear of war which drew it on. (Hear.) He had been told that the Poles did not deserve our sympathies be cause they were Catholics. There was nothing in his Church that enunciated such a principle, and as a Protestant he refused to withhold his sympathy to the Poles on such narrow grounds. (Cheers.) The rev. gentleman concluded by moving—" That the devoted heroism of the Poles in their present and past struggles for the independence of their country entitles them to the admiration and sup port of Great Britain." (Cheers.) Mr. JOHN VICKERS seconded the resolution. Lord CAMPBELL, on presenting himself to support the resolution, was loudly cheered. The noble lord, after stating the circumstances under which the present series of metropolitan borough meetings had originated on his suggestion, and the feeling of the leaders of the Polish insurrection in Warsaw in favour of such an agitation in this country. in lan guage somewhat similar to that given in previous reports, proceeded to refer to the former struggles of Poland for freedom and independence, and to the circumstances under which the present com menced, and which, to his mind, had a far higher and stronger claim upon European sympathy and support than upon any former occasion. The struggle had been maintained most gallantly against the most tremendous odds. It had been said that the Poles were not justified in rising in insurrection, because their means were inadequate to achieve the result at which they aimed, and there was no chance of their gaining their indepen dence. But the fact was, the circumstances under which the recruitment was commenced and enforced left the Poles no alternative but to rise. It was the avowed object of the Russian Government to exterminate the revolutionary element in Poland ; but where did the revolutionary element not exist in Poland ? It existed among the highest class, whose estates had been confiscated ; among the commercial classes, whose trade and enterprise were crippled and injured ; and among the poorer classes, on whom the conscription fell with most merciless serverity. (Hear, hear.) It was a war waged by Russia against all men, all interests, and all the classes in the country. Suppose the Polish leaders had acquiesced in the recruitment, who did not see that it would have been renewed year after year with all its horrors and all its evils, even until the bitter end of extermination was reached, and that therefore the insurrection was fully justified as a wise, sound, and prudential measure of self-de fence, which submission would n o t h ave averted, and the evils of which resistance could not possibly increase. (Cheers.) It was, therefore, said by the gallant Poles, "Far better to die in the ranks of Poland fighting against Russia, than to die in the ranks of Russia fi g hting against th e i nterests o f Europe and the order of the world." (Cheers.) But was the struggle really so hopeless as some repre sented it to be ? He thought not ; and for two reasons. In the first place, the three great Powers, France, Austria, and Great Britain —had all shown a strong desire that justice—under at all events dip lomaticstipulations—should be done to Poland. They had becv refused, but in the vicissitudes of Europe and the probabilities of war, who could tell what now diplomatic combinations might arise in the course of next spring; and if the Polish insurrection was maintained throughout the present winter, what new elements of success might be brought into play in their favour. (Hear, hear.) As to the probability that they could maintain it this winter, he thought that after what had been done in the last with imperfect organisation and imperfectly developed resources, there were goo d groun d s for belie v i ng the contest could be sustained. In the next place he thought that our Government and that of the other two Powers might be urged to ac cede to the demands of the Polish National Govern ment, nainely, to recognise Poland as a be,ligerent, and to declare that Russia had forfeited her rights in Pol an d b y h er v i o lation of the treaty under w hich alone sho held it. (Cheers.) Mr. Layard, their talented and able member, had recently said in that room that the Government had done everything for Poland short of going to war for it, but he (Lord Campbell) met the assertion by the statement that Lord Russell, a higher authority, had declared in his despatches to the Russian Government, that Russia had forfeited its rights, and until the declar ation of belligerency followed, our Government could not say it had done all in its power short of going to war. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unani • mously. Dr. EVAN B. JONES moved the following resolu- tion :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, as Russia has violated the conditions upon which, by the Treaty of Vienna, her title to the kingdom of Poland and other Polish provinces was founded, her Majesty's Government are no longer bound to re cognise the sovereignty and dominion of the Czar over any part of the Polish territory, and would be fully justified in acknowledging the belligerent rights of the insurgents, and in concerting such measures with the Emperor of the French and other Europan Powers as shill be calculated to main tain the balance of power against Russia, and to promote the cause of Polish independence. (Loud cheers.) Captain DRESSER ROGERS seconded, and Mr. EDMUND BEALES supported the resolution, which wes then put and carried with enthusiasm. The HON. SEC. stated that Mr, John Vickers, be fore he left, had given £5 to the cause, and Mr, Herbert Spencer, the proprietor of the Bridge 110116,7 Hotel, £2 2s. (Hear, hear.) . . . ~ A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. ' THE WEST INDIA MAILS, (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 15. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Seine Capt.

At Cuba they were in hourly expectation of an arrival of 8,000 troops from Spain for operation against the Dominicans. The most sanguine hopes were entertained that the rebellion would be sup pressed. A large number of wounded soldiers had arrived at the Havana, for whose benefit a public subscription had been set on foot. Various successes on the part of Gen. Santana are reported. The new Captain-General, Vargos, is exerting himself to put down the rebellion. The Spanish troops are said to be fall of enthusiasm, and ready to take the field to pursue the rebels.

The Queen, 71, gun screw line of battle ship, Captain C. Hillyar, was paid out of commission yesterday at Ports mouth under circumstances of great credit to the captain, officers, and ship's company. The medals and gratuities re commended to be awarded for ling service and good con duct were as follows :—Silver medal, with a gratuity of £l5, to Thomas Reay, quartermaster, and also to Samuel Venniug, boatsmain's mate ; silver medal, with a gratuity of £lO, to Edward Symonds, quartermaster, and to George Dilnot, captain of the hold ; £7 and a silver medal to Isaac Miller, corporal Royal Marine Artillery. Captain Hillyar addressed the crew previous to the payment, and gave them all praise for good conduct. The Queen had been upwards of four years in commission, and her captain, as well as many of the officers who were paid off from her yesterday, joined her on her commission. For about four months, after sailing from Spithead on the completion of her outfit for sea, the Queen was attached to the Channel squadron, and accompanied it in its cruise to Lisbon. Shortly afterwards the Queen was ordered to the Mediter ranean, where she has been employed a great portion of her time as senior officer's ships at parts of the station. For the last 12 months of her stay in the Mediterranean she was stationed at the Piraeus, and remained there until the arrival of his Majesty George I. The Royal Marine Artil lery, serving on board, rejoined their headquarters at Fort Cumberland, and the Marine Light Infantry serving, be longing to the Portsmouth division, rejoined headquarters at Forton, those•belonging to the Chatham division being sent on by rail. At 2 p.m. the Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander M. P. Pechell, sailed from Portsmouth harbour for Devonptat with the seamen and medicines paid off from the Queen belonging to that port, and also conveyed round a party of the Indus's steam reserve seamen, who had been engaged in navigating the sailing frigate America to Portsmouth from Devonport. The Waep, 17, screw, Capt. IV. Bowden, sailed from Spit head, on foreign service, early yesterday morning. We are informed that information has been received at the Admiralty of the death of Admiral Sir Henry William Bruce, which took place on Monday evening. It was only on Monday last we announced that the admiral's good ser vice pension had been awarded to him. The late admiral was the only surviving son of the late Rev. Sir Henry H. A. Bruce, and was born in February, 1792. He entered the navy in 1803. He was midshipman of the Euryalus at Trafalgar and of the Endymion at the passage of the Dar danelles. He was lieutenant of the Belvidera, and assisted at the capture in the boats of that ship and of the Nemesis of two anish schooners on the Coast of Norway, and was slightly wounded in the action with and retreat from the squadron, under Commodore Rodgers on the coast of Ame rica. lie served in the boats of the squadron at the capture of a schooner in Chesapeake Bay, and subsequently of a privateer of 15 guns and 70 men. When in the command of the Manly ho assisted in the operations in the Patuxent and Patapsto rivers. For some years Sir Henry was Com mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, and was nominated a Knight Commander of the Bath in June, 1861. The gal lant officer's commission bore date as lieutenant, Jan. 5, 1810—commander, May 27, 1814—captain, Nov. 16, 1821— rear-admiral, July 30, 1852—vice-admiral, Oct. 2, 1857__ and obtained his rank of admiral only a few weeks back. By the demise of the gallant officer, Capt. Sir Frederick F. Nicholson,coremodore and senior naval officer at Woolwich, obtains his flag rank. The following appointments wero made yesterday at tae Admiralty :—John Sanders, chief engineer, to the Fisgard, for the Minotaur—James W.

The Diet of the Kingdom of Sweden was closed on the Bth inst. at Stockholm, when the King ad dressed the members as follows : _ " Gentlemen,—Your task is accomplished. In considering the importance and the multiplicity of the subjects which have been submitted to your deliberations, the long space of time which you have devoted to your task cannot be considered as too considerable.
