His Excellency the Governor, Sir Philip Wode house, and suite, were at Graham's Town; his pro gress thus far through the Eastern Province had been very successful. Great enthusiasm prevailed in the various towns through which he journeyed. Sir Percy Douglas, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, accompanied by Colonel Bisset, Colonel Gawler, and Deputy-Assistant Commissary-Genl. Hall, arrived in King William's Town on the 10th of February. Lieutenant Fitzgibbon, 10th Regt., was drowned, February 13, while attempting to cross the Keiskama At the Cape business is advancing. It is now admitted that too large a quantity of unnecessary and useless merchandise, such as jewellery, pictures, books, boots and shoes, slops, hardware, &c„ of a cheap description has been of late received on con signment. Provisions, fruit, and vegetables were never so abundant; the advantages of the railway are genes rally admitted. An Agricultural Exhibition was about to be held at Swellendam: The prize negroes brought in by her Majesty's screw steam sloop Rapid had all been apportioned, and it is a significant fact that, although but 200 were for disposal, over 2,000 were applied for. Surveys for a direct line of railway to Graham's Town were being pushed forward under Govern ment employes, with a view to submitting the need ful plans to Parliament. Opinions as to the advan tage of such a measure are much divided, and con siderable opposition is anticipated. The Union Company had begun their service to Port Elizabeth, and the first ship, the Roman, sailed for that port on Feb: 18, and will bring the next monthly mail to England. The Dane is per forming the mail and coast service to Natal. In Simon's Bay were her Majesty's steam frigate Narcissus; the Conqueror, bound to Japan; the Rapid; the Wasp, bound to Trincomalee; the transport Ballarat, from China; and the French transport Loiret, from Bourbon. Her Majesty's steamer Falcon, from Plymouth, sailed Jan. 23, for Australia; the Pelorus, Jan. 27, for China; and the Scout, from Hongkong, Feb. 2, for England. Admiral Sir W. Baldwin Welker was expected to leave for England about May. The Ariel sailed Jan. 25 for the Zambesi, and would bring down Dr. Livingstone and the mission party, whose duty is about to be closed. Bishop Tczer will remain behind to complete the arrangement. The London and East India Company's steam ship Hydaspes, from Plymouth for Madras, arrived at the Cape Jan. 22. The Mauritius was appoiuted to leave Table Bay Feb. 20, for England. At Port Elizabeth business continues dull, and little improvement is looked for until the uneasiness caused by late failures has subsided.

" Garibaldi is abort to arrive in England at the very moment when English political society is still under the impression of the disagreeable revelations of the much-to be-regretted intimacy between a member of Parliament and of the Ministry, Mr. Stansfeld, and M. Mazzini. Under existing circumstances, we think that Garibaldi will re quire a great deal of tact and a great deal of discretion if he be not willing abruptly to run the risk of losing the favour of the English nation. This incident of the inti macy of Mr. Stansfeld with Mazzini, once more brought to light by the Greco trial, appeared at one time likely to compromise the existence of the Ministry. Of course no one believed that Mr. Stansfeld could have been the confi dant of the conspiracies in which M. Mazzini is directly or indirectly mixed up; but English honour suffered at the idea that the address of a Minister and a member of the House of Commons could be found in the pocket of wretched assassins as a channel of correspondence with M, Mazzini. Whether M. Mazzini be guilty or not guilty of the charge of complicity brought against him, he is a very clumsy conspirator and a very compromising sort of friend, as the covers of letters sent him by his friends are to be found in the hands of the vilest of criminals. Moreover, to show that M. Mazzini is justly liable to sus picion and to excite distrust, it is sufficient to mention (as was done by Sir H. Stracy), on the authority of the Revue des Deux Mondes, the ironical admission he published a few years ago of his participation in a plot against the life of King Charles Albert." Mr. Forgade then proceeds to say that Mr. Stans feld is a useful member of Government, and that it is a pity he should have behaved with so little dis cretion as was displayed by his speeches in the House of Commons. M. Forgade being a staunch Pal merstonian, this admission has its value, but it is to be regretted he did not take the opportunity to record the opinion universally prevalent in all French political circles, excepting of course the extreme school which is prepared to endorse M. Mazzini's theory of the dagger. It is not, however, very difficult to supply the deficiency, and I fear no contradiction when I state that in France, in Eng land, or in Italy, Imperialist, Orleanist, Legitimist, or Republican, Conservative, Whig, or Radical, Italianissimo orCodino,the parti des honnetes gens— te, every man who may be set down as an honour able member of society, whatever may be his political views, reproves with the utmost indigna tion M. Mazzini's murderous intrigues, and feels deep concern that a member of the English Govern ment should not feel it his duty to clear himself of any suspicion of being in any way implicated in them. the s -31[LEL17,:°1t,Relr'_ArolfesilsoljTdrSoTAf.S1(ouElptSuPre T" 7 G A. ov ß ern E . the National Shakespeaa dbt a„.• ford_ pedal sanction of D W ELL, on -Avon Tercente nary Committees, by By FELIX M. 11 1 1 '' A MES, and CO.

There is a rock ahead on which the Government seem to be in danger of steering. It is high above water, the coast is bold, and they are making directly for it. We allude to the affair of Mr. Stansfeld. Even before the recent disclosures it was very doubtful whether the House of Commons could be induced to acquiesce in the continued presence of this gentleman as a member of the Government. But we have now learnt from the recent trial of Mazzini many things capable no doubt of explana tion, but still obviously tending to show that Mr. Stansfeld's connection with Mazzini is much closer than was generally supposed. We do not prejudge the case. We are quite willing to hear and weigh everything that Mr. Stansfeld may say in extenua tion or justification; but we confess we think that the defence to such charges should be made by Mr. Stansfeld as a private member of Parliament, not as a person connected with the Government, bound to be jealous of the honour of the country, and bound also to do nothing to prejadice its relations with the Governments of foreign States.

SOLOXONS, 39 Albemarle , o / /,‘,/ii-e,-- The Theory of the Dagger, Sir Francis Head presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and requests he will be pleased to permit the insertion, in his columns, of the following letter:— `!o JAMES STANSFELD, ESQ., M.P. Sir,—ln a pamphlet entitled "On the Theory of the Dagger," published in London by M. Mazzini, he—after pointing out to the regicides of Europe, " The dagger you can shape from your workmen's files"—bestowed upon all instruments of that de scription, and upon the uses thereof, the following benediction : "From the dagger of the Vespers to the stone of Belilla and the knife of Palafox, blessed be in your hands every weapon that can destroy the enemy, and set you free . Sacred was the dagger which Harmodius enriched with roses. Sacred was the dagger of Brutus. Sacred the stiletto of the Sicilian who began the Vespers." In a letter published by the same writer demon strating the practical use of the dagger, he de lineated the following scene between himself and a young man, Antonio Gallenga, introduced to him as " one who was bent upon doing a lofty deed" (the assassination of Charles Albert, King of Sardi nia, and whom he, therefore, not only considered but (without shame or repugnance) described as one of those beings whom " Providence from time to time lets loose upon earth, to teach despots that the limit of their power rests in the hand of one single man." On proceeding to business, " I asked him," pub lishes M. Mazzini, " what he required of me." Gallenga replied, " A passport and a little money." "I gave him a thousand francs." Subsequently, on the day of the intended assassination being noti fied to Mazzini, and on his being asked, in addition to the blood-money, to supply the weapon to effect it, he described the interior of his studio as fol lows : "A poniard with a lapis lazuli handle, a gift which I cherished much, was on the table. I pointed to that. Sciandra took it and went away." Finally, in the Times of the 14th of January last this loathsome murderer, as if to bestow upon the world the last finishing touch to his self-executed and self-admired horrid photograph (which at least in this instance may truly be designated " justice without mercy"), described his accomplice Greco, the intended assassin of our generous ally the Emperor of the French, as "an enthusiastic patriot." Now, sir, after having had the opportunity, first, of reflecting on the published opinions, or rather confessions, of Joseph Mazzini, and secondly, of associating and confidentially conversing with him thereupon for nearly 18 years (during a consi. derable portion of which be actually lived under your roof), you not only, in private life, openly and deliberately commemorated your admiration of his principles and practice by imposing upon your only child the name of a man designated by your own colleague, Earl Russell, "the assassin Mazzini," but en becoming one of the lords of her Majesty's Admiralty you consented secretly to assist him and his accomplices, not by furnishing the poniard which (as you well know) he was ever eager to supply, but by giving to these miscreants the cloak and dark-lanthorn use of your house for ,he ill-famed purpose of circulating letters addressed —as you have boasted as well confessed—to false names. At the trial of Greco, 'on the Procureur-General of France, with calm dignity, stating—without a single word of offence, or even of complaint—that, upon referring to the London Directory, to ascer. tain the owner of the house, 35, Thurloe•square, from which the hired assassin of his Sovereign was to obtain money -46 It is not without sadness that I recognise the name of a member of Parliament of England, who already had been, in 1837, appointed to be the banker of the Tibaldi conspi racy against the Emperor's life." Instead of instantly standing up (as you were sagely advised to do by the gimes), "To disentangle your name, and the name of the coun try, the House of Commons, and the Government from the odious connection into which they had unfortunately been brought," you not only rose to magnify the name and laud the principles of Mazzini ; but, sad to say, another member of her Majesty's Government deemed it advisable to declare -64 That the most prompt and dignified way of vindicating the honour of the country was to treat the accusation of the Prooureur-General with the contempt it deserved r " Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history," the House of Commons, in a moment of political delirium, irrationally negatived the inoffensive, self evident, and, to the French people, conciliating affirmation— " Tha t the statement of the Procnreur-General on the trial of Greco, implicating a member of that house, and of her Majesty's Government, in the plot for the assassination of our ally the Emperor of the French, deserves the serious cowideration of the houso." In its admirata comments on this lamentable a n d most extraordinary negation, which, logically, i s almost tantamount to a vote of confidence in Mazzini, "We are really unable," wrote the Times, "to under stand the obliquity of natural feeling which still restrains Mr. Stausfeld from expressing his deepest regret to the House of Commons, the Government, and the country, for having given occasion to their being placed in such an un pleasant position in the eyes of the French people ; and to the Emperor of the French for having made it possible that anything connected with him could be turned to such an infamou s purpose. We regret very much that the Govern ment, in their determination to defend a colleague, have not taken a more generous view of their relation to the Emperor of the French in the matter." _ In the story book of the sayings and doings of the Anglo-Saxon race, the few facts which almost without comment I have just recited will always be a painful chapter to read.

Totally unconnected with any political party in England, but mourning ever the tragedy of errors you have created, I hove the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, F. B. HEAD. Croydon, April, 1861. The following letter has been addressed t,o our chief contemporary : Sir,—Not for my sake, but for Mr. Stansfeld's rake and in indignation at his name being dragged in again by the French Advocate-General in his speech of March 31, quoted in your columns, I feel bound to trespass with a few lines on your space, and to once more declare that never was any money handed over or sent by me to Mr. Stansfeld for the purpose of helping Greco, Tibaldi, Donati, or any other in an attempt against the Emperor's life ; that never had he the slightest contact with Greco, Tibaldi, Donati. or any other known to me, implicating him possibly, directly, or indirectly, to my knowledge, in any political schemes of theirs. ------- No new fact is alleged in the speech concerning the Greco affair. - - Concerning Donati, I reme,nber that an Italian of that name was arrested on suspicion in Paris towards the end of 1858 ; that he was harassed as usual by questions about me ; that he persistently denied my having any share in any scheme of his own; that he was, during the inquiry, found dead in the prison; which mys terious fact the Avocat-General astoundingly declares a sad guarantee for the sincerity of his revelations. No trial took place, no revelations were ever produced, not a shadow of evidence against him or others ever appeared. The things were merely known through vague reports scattered in correspondences. Concerning Tibaldi, the existence of a Tibaldi fund I 'have already in a former letter distinctly denied. The alleged documents are unknown to me. The quotations in the speech, at all events, mean nothing ; they would not, if genuine, in the slightest way implicate Mr. Stansfeld in a supposed knowledge of that hypothetical plot or fund. The first simply shows that I have friends whom calumny does not estrange. If the second—" I have received the money, and James will, of course, carry out your instructions"— could ever be construed into a proof of an assassination scheme, or of a knowledge of it, I should not know what to pity most, human wickedness or human credulity. Mr. Stansfeld has been to me a friend of 18 years' stand ing. He has been deeply and earnestly sympathising with all my, Utopian once, now almost fulfilled, aspirations to wards Italian unity and independence. He has been, in honesty and morality, helping, before his official capacity traced out for him a new line of duties, the fulfilment of those aspirations. Hs has often, at my request, contri buted his own share of money to subscriptions for poor Italian exiles. He has sometimes paid, at my request, money of mine for similar purposes, when I have been away from England. He has tried to find employment for men in need, whom I was recommending to him as to other English friends. All that is known, avowed, honourable. I have been using, accordingly, in the past his name and address. Italians knew them, and were coming to him, in my absence, for relief or advice. What of all this ? Where is the slightest link between the affirmations of the Avo cat-General and the aim denounced ? Where the slightest indication bearing on Mr. Stansfeld's connexion with or knowledge of any unlawful designs ? That / am carelessly and unconscientiously made a target for the practising of the moral dagger men is no wonder to me. I belong, and am rather proud of it, to a class of men who must be persecuted by any despotic, conservative, or French Imperialist party, in England or elsewhere, until success crowns their efforts and wins applause. But if men of Mr. Stansfeld's cast, avocations, and tendencies are, on the faith of garbled foreign police reports and claptrap melodramatic speeches of despotic Avocats-Generaux, to meet with the same treatment in the country which they usefully serve, then there is an end of British lucid sense and fair-play habits. A French Statesman once said,-- "Give me any ten words in any man's handwriting; shall manage to have him hung." You had better write those words on the threshold of your house, only stating that they include the man's friends as well.—l am, sir, yours faithfully, April 2. JOSEPH MIZZINI. Naval and Military Intelligence THE NAVY. The Bulldog, 6, paddle sloop, of 1,121 tons and 500 horse power, Capt. Charles Wake, sailed from Spithead on Sa turday for the West Indies. The Dasher, 2, paddle, Commander Philip de Saumarez, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from her station at the Channel Islands. The Geyser, d, paddle, Commander Arthur T. Thrupp, sailed from Spithead on Saturday for the westward. The iron ship Hector, 34, Capt. George W. Preedy, left Plymouth on Saturday to join the Channel Squadron at Portland. The screw steam gun vessel Ranger, 5, Commander W. E. Cordon, left Plymouth on Saturday for the West Coast of Africa. The iron paddlewheel steamvessel Jackal, 4, Lieut. and Commander Hugh Mc. N. Dyer, was appointed to leave Plymouth yesterday for the coast of Scotland to protect the fishery interest. The iron troopship Adventure, Capt. Charles L. Waddi love, from Portsmouth, is expected at Plymouth to-day or to-morrow to embark detachments for China. The iron screw steamer Gazelle has been ordered to be surveyed by the dockyard authorities at Chatham, pre viously to being purchased by the Admiralty to supply the place of the Adder, paddlewheel steamer. Rear Admiral Frederick's 7-inch gun has been received and mounted for practice on board the gunnery ship Ex cellent at Portsmouth. It is anticipated that data having a very important bearing upon the future arming of the navy will be obtained in the competitive trials which will be carried out between this gun and the 9 22 inch smooth-bore (coil-built 100-pounder), their projectiles approximating in weight. The Lords of the Admiralty have given directions for Gisborn's electric engine-room telegraph to be fitted on board the iron frigate Achilles, at Chatham, the report of the working of the apparatus on board the Royal Oak, in which vessel it was fitted, having been exceedingly satisfac tory. The inventor is also to fa a mechanical telegraph from the engine -room platform to each of the stoke-holes. The operation of slotting and boring the armour-plates which are destined to form the exterior portion of the Lord Warden target, about to be tested at Shoeburynesal wag completed in the factory at Chatham Dockyard on Saturday, and in a few days the plates will be fixed in their place, and the target ready to be despatched to Shoeburyness. framing of the target has been constructed on a new prin - ciple, and, should the experiments bear out the theory of its designers as to its strength and shot-resisting pows!! Lord Warden, now under construction at Chatham Dock yard, will be built on exactly the same principle. In the targets previously built the iron slabs have been si mply bolted to so many inches' thickness of teak timber, which it is obvious would offer little resistance to the passage of either the shot or shell after it had succeeded in penetrating the outer plates, Acting on the now understood fact that a slight thickness of iron inserted in the centre of the teak backing will almost effectually bar the pa ssage of shot, the Lord Warden target has iron-plating 1 / 1 11% in thickness, placed in the centre of the target, and on this is laid the Bin. of teak timber to which the armour-plates are bolted. The total thickness of iron and teak forming the target is 21t. llin. The plates which form the exterior of the target are two of those sent in by Messrs. Brown and Co., of the Atlas Works, Sheffield, who are under contract to supply the whole of those required for the Lord Warden. They are of the best rolled iron, 30ft. in length by 4f. 6in. in, breadth, and each weighs between 7 and eight tons, As completed s pl ia e o t e e t cl u t r h y e n os tz get will be taken to pieces and s s li m ip n p u ed where it will be re-erected by a number of mechanics to.be sent from the dockyard. The following naval engineer officers passed their exami nations before the Rev. Dr. Woolley, Her Majesty's Inspector of Schools, on the occasion of his recent official visit to Portsmouth Dockyard, and have received second class certificates in accordance with the regulations laid down in the Admiralty Circular No. 60, dated Oct. 12, 1863 —George Wynhall, engineer—J. H. H. Smale, acting chief engineer -.John Murdoch, 2d class assist engineer, and E. E. Lewis, acting do. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Commander T. C. Bruce, to the Formid able, additional for packet service at Dover, vice Triscott, whose period of service has expired—J. W. Reed, master, additional to the Fisgard—Dr W. L. Gordon, surgeon, ad ditional to the Victory—F. Hyndman, assist paymaster, additional to the Formidable—and J. Frebble, assist pay master, to the Hector. THE ARMY.
