MR, COBDEN AND LORD HARTINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l shall be much obliged if you will have the goodness to insert in The Sun the enclosed cor resf:ondence which has taken place between Mr. Cobden and myself.—l have, &c., HARTIN GTON. Chatsworth, Chesterfield, Dec. 14. Midhurst, Dec. 9, 1863. My Lord,--You will perhaps be good enough to take an early opportunity:of correcting publicly your recent—l had almost said reckless—perversion of the remarks which fell from me on American affairs at Rochdale. 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 tke 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 I 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., 31. P. HARTINGTON. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The iron screw steamship Warrior, 40, Capt. the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, followed by the Edgar, 71, flag of Rear-Admiral Sidney C. Dacres, C. 8., the Black Prince 41, the Resistance, 16, and the Defence, 16, all under steam, left Plymouth Sound by the Western Channel yes terday afternoon between four and five o'clock. 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 long service and good con duct were as follows :—Silver medal, with a gratuity of £l5, to Thomas Reay, quartermaster, and also to Samuel Vennifig, boatswain'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.

Pechell, sailed from Portsmouth harbour for Devonport 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 Wasp, 17, screw, Capt. W. 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 Belvidere, and assisted at the capture in the boats of that ship and of the Nemesis of two Danish schooners on the Coast of Norway, and was slightly wounded in the aotion with and retreat from the squadron, under Commodore Rodgers on the coast of Ame rica. He 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 he 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,commodore and senior naval officer at Woolwich, obtains his flag rank. PRICE.—..—..4d.

The principal occurrences are as follows: " On Oct. 13 there was another ineffectual inter view arranged for the United States Minister be tween General Zavala on the part of Carrera, and General Cabana on the part of Berries. 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 took the road to Apopa (north-west), whence he went towards the depart ment of San Miguel. In the la st da y s of his hold ing of his capital, Barrios had m ade still heav;fr forced loans of goods and liquors, in which he paid his officers and soldiers a portion of their pay, and which they again sold to procure their da il 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 (rather and son), Penoud, and Cousin (a Belgian), who was director of the band or chief musician. Mr. Megin 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 ware 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 Duenas, 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 t r presented themselves at La Union, and were then marched to S•tn Miguel. 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 (Molino) for La Union, The House of Commons Fifty Years ago.

The proceedings are likely to contiuue for several days. 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 G overnmen t, that Russia had forfeited its rights, and until the declar ation of belligerency followed, our Government could t n o o t w asp r it had (Cheers.)done The resolution was then put and carried unani • all in its power sh or t o f go i ng 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 shall 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.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark was 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 called to the chair, and was supported by Lord Campbell, the Rev. Hugh Allen, Mr. John Vickers, Dr. Ecan B. Jones, Capt. E. Dresser Rogers, Mr. Edmond Beales, &a. 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 P" (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 a❑ 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 en 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 0; Poland was one that both Whig and 'Try 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 lane guage somewhat similar to that given in previous reporte, 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. Bat 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 justiied as a wise, sound, and prudential measure of self-de fence, which submission would not have 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 fighting against the interests of 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 rea sons. 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 lomaticstiPalations—should be done to Poland. They had beer refused, but in the vicissitudes of Europe and the probabilities of war, who could tell what ne w diplomatic combinations might arise in the course of next spring; and if the Polish insurrection was maintained throughout the present winter, w h a t new elements of success might b e b roug ht into pl a y in their favour. (Hear, h e a r .) A s t o t h e 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 good grounds for believing 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, namely, to recognise Poland as a belligerent, and to declare that Russia had forfeited her rights in Poland by her violation of the treaty under which alone she held it. (Cheers.) Mr. Layard, their talented end able member, had recently said in that room that the Government had done everything for DEMERARA. The weather has been generally fine, and estates are busily grinding, and every effort is being made to secure the taking off the crop, which promises to be very large.

The rivers and mountain streams, swollen by the rain, rushed down in petuous torrents, sweeping everything before them. Houses were washed away, stores and dwellings inundated and several lives lost.

"News from Chili is of very commonplace cha racter for this mail. Nothing of much moment or much interest to those beyond the country. " The drought has been much felt in the northern provinces, and great loss has been sustained. In general business at Valparaiso dullness has been complained of. " Charters of vessels have been agreed to L 3 15s for copper and nitrate from the coast to Liver pool and Swansea. " Exchange on London, 43,-W. to 44d. per dol." " PERU. " From this part of the coast there is quito a lack of anything in the shape of news to communicate. " it is of little moment to be told that Peru and Bolivia have concluded a treaty of peace and com merce,' and that the Governments of Peru and Chili have agreed to receive into their countries the mails of each other without postage. Yet beyond this there is nothing of interest to write. " Exchange on London, 361 d. to 361 d. per dol. ECUADOR. " We have received papers from Guayquil up to November 14. Congress, after having authorised i the President to declare war against General Mos- I quern, closed its sessions on October 24. There are recorded many instances of patriotism and en thusiasm among communities and private indivi duals, consisting in gratuitous donations for carry ing on the war. The papers also publish a letter of Commander Guerrero, who was sent with a letter from General Flores to Mosquera. He de scribes his reception, and the insults offered to him and the Ecuatorian Government by Mosquera.

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. Few sessions have resulted in a solution of so many important questions, and there are few which have prepared decisions of more general interest. "In conformity with the prescriptions of the con stitution you have remitted to the nest sitting o f the Diet the decision on the project for the reform of the national representation which I have made known to you.

You have approached with a firm step the great object of general liberty to trade; and the deliberate attention you have no, corded to the laws on cre havesa well as to forest lame ws will bear it s fruit. You also submitted to '' me projccts for the improvement of many other branches of legislation. 1 shall make it a duty to devote to them a conscientious examination. , i The conformity of views between the Govern meat and the representation which has generally so e e r t ally m arked this Diet has not been equally ea far as the customhouse legislation is concerned.
