C In reference to the recent debate in the House of Commons on the withdrawal of the Edinburgh and Giasg iw and Cale donian Railway Amalgamation Bill, the Caledonian Directors feel It a duty to state that they are in no wise responsible for its details. They would have approved of the principle of amalgamation, on *qual terms, and knowing the absolute necessity of educing ( the amount of guarantees, they desire the power to obtain Parliamen tary sanction during this ses-ien, in case all parties should concur. Tbe terms of modification ought to have been loft blank, in order to he filled up by arrangement. The Caledonia n litiard never would have sanctioned the measure suggested in the Bill against their pre. Terence shares, as evinced by their recent election of Mr. Wheeler as a director, who holds a large amount of that stock. The loss of the means of procuring legislative 'sanction to acme arrange ments this session, may prove most injurious to all parties. (Signed) E. PLUNKETT, Chairman. Edinburgh, March 22, 1860.

By order of the Directors, WILLIAM S. DOWNES, Actuary. Midshipmett—William It Jones, from the Excel lent gunnery•ship, at Portsmouth, to the Ptiwerful, 84, on the Mediterranean station ' • Osmond Broche, from the Victory, 101, flag-ship at Portsmouth, to the Lily, 12, sloop, at Portsmouth, under orders for the East India station. Commander Charles Gerrans Phillips (1848) and Lieutenant Alfred Royer (1841) were appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard on Friday last, and have this day joined and commenced their studies. The freight-ship Lord Bentinck embarked 1 ser geant, 2 corporals, and 25 pri v ates of the Royal Sippers and Miners from the hund-quarterS at Wool wich on Saturday last, under the charge of Lieu tenant Chesney, Royal Engineers, and lift the same afternoon for New Zealand. Four gunners of the Royal Artillery embarked at the same time for the same destination to fill up the detachment of Artillery at that station . The Blenheim, hired convict-ship, Mr. Molifon master, left her moorings opposite the Royal Arsenal on Saturday afternoon with et' number of convicts guarded by a company of pensioners from Tilbury fort, for Van Diemen's Land. , Captain E, Ommanney, of the Assistance, fitting up for the Arctic expedition, never commanded the Virago, as has been stated by a contemporary, and, consequently, Lieutenant B. Cator never served with him in that vessel. Captain, then Commander, Om manney, commanded the Vesuvius steam-sloop on the Mediterranean station, for three years, but Lieutenant Cator never served in that vessel. ALLOWANCE of SPIRITS in the NAVY. The Committee appointed to inquire into the expe diency of - diminishing the present quantity of spirits served out doily to the sealUsn in the royal navy .have made their report to the Secretary cf the Admiralty, concluding with the following, as a sum mary of what they propose :- 1. That the present allowance of spirits or wine be reduced one-half. _ _ 2. That the remaining portion be issued at dinner 3. That admirals, captains, and ward-room officers shall not receive any payment for the half ration of spirits taken from them. 4. That mates, second masters, surgeons, assistants, and clerks shall receive compensation at the present savings price for the half allowance of the spirits to be reduced. _ _ 5. That midshipmen, cadets, and boys who do not receive a ration of spirits, be paid a compensation equal to the " sayings price " of the present whole allowance. 6. That warrant officers, working petty officers, able and ordinary seamen, and non-commissioned officers and privates of marines, shall receive for their half allowance a compensation payment in money of 3s. 6d. per man, per calendar month. 7. Thatsecond-class ordinary seamen and landsmen be allowed 2s. 6d. per man, per calendar month. 8. That me* wishing to give up the reduced allow ance shall receive a further compensation, equal to the savings price for such period as they may think proper. 9. That no raw spirits be issued to any one, except under special circumstances, at the discretion of the captain. 10. That in cases of persisting drunkenness, a deduc tion, or discontinuance be made for a time in the compen sation allowance. 11. That the monthly allowance to the men out of their growing wages, be limited to its. per month. 11. That the police on board her Majesty's ships be put on a better footing. 12. That the seamen and marines shall be at liberty to make a larger allotment for the maintenance of their families, viz., 11. is. 6d. per month for an able seaman. 13. That the Admiralty cireular to the fleet, of the 21st July, 1846, respecting provisions, be brought under review, for the purpose of a more satisfactory adjustment of the scale. 14. That the proposed measure take immediate effect as regards all officers, and all future entries; and that, as regards ships in commission, their Lordships fix a con• venient day for carrying the measure into effect. But men now in the navy should, in the meantime, have the option of taking advantage of the proposed compensation allowance. The Committee cannot close their report on the im portant questions referred to their consideration without expressing their hope, and confident expectation, that the measures they have proposed will be conducive to the credit of the British navy, and t3nd to fulfil their Lordships' anxious desire to promote the best interests of the seamen. PROPOSED ALLOWANCE OP GROG AND COMPENSATION MONEY. Admirals, captains, lieutenants, and wardroom offi cers, half present allowance; compensation, nil.

At length one journal, and one journal only, has been found to deiend the repressive law against the press, which the PRESIDENT and his Ministers, in the very extremity of panic terror, have been, as our Scotch friends would say, " So far left to them selves," as to propose. That journal is the Napoleon, and thus does it deal with the comparisons which have been recently made between the conduct of CHARLES X.,- in . July 1830, of Louts PHILIPPE, in February, 1848, and of Louts NAPOLEON, in March, 1850 : " The restoration," it asp, " has for its origin foreign invasion, and for its moving power the hatred of all that had been accomplished during the preceding twenty-five years ; its object, the re-establishment of the political power of the nobility and the clergy. The opposition was formidable, as it was supported by all those generous passions which had been ueveloped by the Revolution of .1789. Immortal glory, new intik.- structible interests, were amongst the good things which the liberty of the press and tribune guaranteed to the people; and royalty, and its ,right divine, fell in its at tack upon them, as it could only oppose the vital force of the nation with brute resistance. " The Government of July had a more popular origin, although it committed the fault of not being legitimatised by a general election. . Its moving power was the pas aim for material enjoyments—its object the preponder ance of the bourgeoisie. It incurred the just reproach of not having stimulated noble interests, whilst it over excited those who took only interest for their guide. Nevertheless, as its roots penetrated deeper into the people than those of its predecessor, it could with danger limit the liberty of the press, which no longer represented, as under the Restoration, ' the conquests of the Revolution.' It fell because the country saw i its only object was gain, its only portion the lust of wealth. The interior daises availed themselves of their power to re claim from the bourgeoisie that which it appeared to them to have gained by corruption, and Socialism is but the consequence of the fatal impulse of these past eighteen years. " But what opinion is it now which abuses the liberty of the press, and which is at the head of the Opposition. It is not that which under the Restoration glorified our triumphs and protested against the return of the anciex regime, nor that which under Louis Philippe called out fur just concessions. But now not content with liberty in its most extended development, it defames all that is respectable, overthrows the basis of civilization, and at tacks all that it would be useful to support. " New, therefore, in restraining the liberty of the press, it is only to combat error, and not truth. Instead of attacking the national feelings, it is protecting them against iniquitous aggression." The National comments on this extraordinary article in the most sarcastic manner, and observes that according to this writer it was madness and crime in CHARLES X. to attack the liberty of the press ; it was a crime, it was madness, in Louis Pnruarrz to attack the right of meeting. " But such," says the National, " is not the case with re gard to the present policy. This policy, although precisely similar to the policy of the two last reigns, is good—is even excellent. And the reason ? The reason is because it is the policy of M. LOUIS BONAPARTE, whilst the preceding policies were those of CHARLES X. and of LOUIS PHILIPPE." Notwithstanding the bluster of the Napoleon it would appear that the Ministers do not feel at all cer tain of their ground, and we should not be surprised to find them endeavouring to back out of the posi tion into which the MoLa-TuIBAs•BBARZER con spiracy has forced him. The following from the Mi nisterial Constitutionnel of Monday is evidently a feeler : " We need not say that, if we do not approve of the new Bill on the press, our confidence in the Government is by no means diminished, and that our support will not be weaker. It we thought that our opposition to this Bill was of a nature to weaken the Government, we should not hesitate an instant to sacrifice our convictions on the point. And, first of all, what is the cause of our opposition? Certainly nut a diffeience of intentions. The President, the majority, and the Cabinet, have only one object,—to protect society against the excesses of the anarchical propagandism. What they desire, we desire also; we differ only as to the means. We sincerely believe that in proposing to disarm the attack, the defence is disarmed also. Let us suppose that after a more mature examination of the question, the law should he abandoned, or that a different system MI3 sub • stituted, would it follow that this thould be a serious check for the authors of the Bill? Certainly not, since the question of the press is a special one, if ever there was a special question. Is it to be said that Government is not to be ever mistaken, and that a Ministry is bound to have all its propositions carried, under pain of, resign ing? It is clear that wa are not any longer governed by those classical rules which direct a Parliamentary Government in calm times. Ministers, even supported by the heads of parties not connected with the Govern ment, do not succeed always in getting their views adopted by those even who usually march with them. Each not the less continues to serve in his own position without imposing on himself the obliga tion, as a point of honour, of always obtaining the neceasery votes. It has happened to all Cabinets, at all times, to have had Bills rejected, and still to keep their places. They acted properly in so doing. The Minister of Foreign Affairs was defeated at the elections, but be did not consider himself weakened thereby. M. Berryer, notwithstanding the power of his word, has just seen the majority of his friends vote against him on the question of transfers of rentea. He did not on that TIILILTY-FIRST EDITION.

It is ♦ery allowable to make a mistake as to their nature or efficucity. The real fault would be not to pay attention to the situation, or to neglect mak ing an effort to ameliorate it." It appears that the great bulk of the Legitimatists are so disgusted with M. BERRTER for the support he has given to the repressive laws, that they have repudiated his leadership and chosen M. Ds ST. PRIEST as their leader in his stead, and the great bulk of the army will, in the event of any coup-iitat being attempted, remain true to the Republic and Constitution, and aid in putting down any Royalist rebellion. This feeling is not confined to the garrison of Paris—it is general throughout the army. The Haro of Caen of the 23d inst. states that a sergeant of the 55th Regiment of the Line, in garri son in that town, together with two privates, having been removed from the regiment and sent to Algeria, the remainder of the corps assembled in the court yard, and commenced singing the " Marseillaise."

The slave trade was brisk. Squadron healthy. The Cygnet sailed this afternoon fur Plymouth, to be paid off. The Lily, 14, Commander Bedford, went out to Spithead this morning under canvass, and saluted as usual. Captain Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., Sur veyor of the Navy, is on an official visit at this port. Some members of the Board of Admiralty were ex pected to join him to-day, but their Lordships have been prevented by other business from coming. The Electra, 14, and the Rapid, 8, were brought down to-day to be docked for repair as soon as a dock becomes vacant. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 23.—Her Majesty's ship Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, after her return from cruising in the Channel, is to go up harbour to refit. The reserve steam-vessel Salamander cruised round SPAIN. declaring that it would be impossible to proceed with the German constitution on the basis of the project of the 28th March, if previously a perfect understanding were not come to on its main principles, and that it was of importance to complete the work speedily, an end at which they hoped to arrive by a g•.od under standing between the Diet and the Governments, as well as by the adoption of the constitution and of the additional article before revision. Several signatures were attached to this document. Afterwards the sittings of the Chamber of the States was adjourned till after Easter. Monday after next the bureaux will proceed to the elections for the Commission MI the constitution. On the same day the popular Chamber will constitute itself and appoint its bureaux. • The King of SAXONY has confirmed the sentence of death on BAKOUNINB and PCEKEL, and decided that they should be behtaded ; BAXOUNINE had expressed the wish to be shot like a soldier, but was refused. HEUUNER has, it is said, been pardoned. These Hien, it will be remembered, were the leaders in the in surrection in Dresden. Extensive postal reforms are said to be in preparation in Prussia. By a letter from Dusseldorf of the 20th we learn that the trial of twenty of the leaders of the insur rection which took place in that city in May last had terminated in the acquittal of twelve, and in the con demnation of the others to five years' imprisonment, the loss of the national cockade, and the surveillance of the police. The first Chamber of Baden on the 21st adopted a resolution approving of the accession of Baden to the treaty of the 26th of May. In the Parliament of Wurtemburg, on the 18th, several Deputies blamed in strong terms the language employed by the KING towards Prussia in his Speech from the Throne, and asserted that the country would not adhere to or approve of it. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Assembly of the States of Schleswig-Holstein was opened on the 19th, and immediately after it formed itself into secret committee to receive commu nications relative to the raising of sulisidies rendered necessary by the probable resumption of hostilities. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 23d, ad dressed to the Cologne Gazette, announces that the Prussian Government had ordered M. DR SYDOw, its envoy in Wurtemburg, to leave Stuttgart, with all the embassy. It at the same time notified to Baron DE HUGXL, Minister of Wurtenburg in Berlin, that diplomatic relations between the two countries were broken off. A letter from Hamburgh of the 20th announces that a Prussian General had been placed in command of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, and that 200 Prussian officers.had also taken service in the army. The Danish Government had armed several vessels, and bad made extensive military preparations. The banking-house of Hambro and Son, of Hamburgh, had contracted for the loan of 11,000,000 bank thalers for Denmark, recently authorised by the Chambers. At Hamburgh the renewal of the war in the Duchies was considered probable. Madrid journals of the 20th have arrived. General Boioaaz, an intimate friend of General CORDOVA, has been appointed Captain-General of Madrid. the Eddystone yesterday (Friday) ; the Vulture goes to-day, and the Styx is to proceed on Monday.

The first was of a Mr. Harden, of Deal, staying in George s-place, who was found in a water closet with his throat cut ; the alarm being given, surgical aid was procured, and the wound was town up, and the per son is still alive. The other is a Mr. Pain, of Belle-Vue-hill, greengrocer, who made an attempt on his life by cutting his throat, but in which attempt, es in the other instance, he did not succeed.—Canier4raourna. The QUEEN has dismissed the Duke of SALDLNHA from his situation as a member of the Supreme Mili tary Tribunal of Justice, and the KING Consort has dismissed him from his post as chief of the Staff, on account of his continued opposition to the Ministry of the Count of THOMAS. It is thought that the army will rise, as SALDANHA has always been a great favourite with the troops. THOMA.R, it is said, reckons upon Spanish assistance, but be should recollect that on the occasion of the last ; outbreak he would have been executed as a traitor, and the QUEEN deposed, long before Spanish assist ance could have arrived, had it not been for the per sonal intervention of SALDASHA, who would not at present, probably, feel inclined to run any desperate personal risks for the sake of the Count DE THOMAR.

AN EXPENSiVZ RESISTANCiI TO THY LAW.-411 Monday, Mr. Isaac Kent, shipowner, was convicted, before the magistrates, of an assault, and fined 6d., and 195. id. costs. He refused to Pay, and the officers were ordered to take him ,into custody; but he said fifty men should not take him. '1 hrowing his arm round a post, he defied the officers who were a long time before they could stir hint. The con test caused quite a scene in the court, the effeet of whiCh was heightened by Kent's wife and son calling out at the tip of their voices, the one, "They'll kill my. husband " the other, "They'll kill my father!" After great difficulty, Ke n t was got upon th e groun d , and the handcuffs put up on him. His brother-in-law then paid the sovereign expecting a discharge; but h e was to l d, to his great surprise, that he had committed a serious offence, which rendered him liable to three years' imprisonment. A further fine of 5L was inti ct oi, which was ultimately paid. —Neifolit Chronicle. _.• • GALLANT CONDUCT OF A SAILOZ.—WhiId apoilor man named William Surtees, an inmate of the union work house, was, on Sunday last, standing on the edge of the Loin Wharf Quay, Sundertand, he was suddenly seized with a fit, and fell ester the quay into the river. A sailor,. slimed George Thompson, who was standing on board of a vessel, se.ing the danger the poor fellow was in, immediately seized hold of a rope, and dashed into the water, caught him by the hair just as he was sinking, and kept his head above water until he received assistance.

Eliza Cook's Journa „, THE GALE O M S ATURDAY NIGHT.--The aeverity of the gale from the N.E. during the whole of Saturday night appearssto have been most severely felt, and was attended with serious consequences to the cattle • arriving here on board the vessels from Ireland. The William Penn, belonging to the Waterford Steam-ship Company,' so far as we are at present enabled to state, suffered most. She left Dublin about six o'clock in the evening, having on board upwards of 100 , h end of cattle, 31 horses, and 200 pigs, a great portion of which, together with several passengers, were ea deck. On the arrival of the steamer yesterday afternoon it was found that about 20 of the horned cattle and 3 horses had died from the cold. The other animals on deck also suffered materially from the severity of the weather, and some of • them were much mutilated, having been tossed about by the motion of the vessel. Nor did the passengers on deck altogether ea. cape, and had it not been for the consideration of those in the cabins, who kindly made room for the poor creatures be low, they must also have suffered most severely. As it was, one poor child, a boy six years of age, was found lying dead, and by his side another child in a dying state, who was only restored to animation by the prompt application of warm;: blankets. These children were in charge of a woman, wits states that they were entrusted to her care in Dublin by a man whom she did not know. We understand that the deck passengers of the steamer Queen, which arrived at eight o'clock in the morning, also suffered severely from the cold. Liverpool Albion. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEOMS.A. meeting WU held yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, of those fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons who disapproved of the change in the charter of the institution proposed - by the council, by which those members of the college who had been members at the date of the new charter in 1843 should, atter twenty years' standing, be admitted without examination to the fellowship dlr. Robinson presided. After a few words from the chairman deprecatory of thi proposed alteration, a resolution was proposed by Mr. Roberts, and seconded by Mr. Holmes Coote, to the effect that those fellows who were present regarded the proposed change as an act of grievous injustice. This was carried by a large majority ; an amendment, proposed by Mr. Erich sen, approving of the intention of the council, being sup ported by only one gentleman besides the mover and seconder, in accordance with the spirit of the resolution, ar memorial, addressed to the president, vice-president, and council of the Royal College of Surgeons, was read and adopted, setting forth that the memoralists learned with regret and disappointment that the council had applied to Government for a supplementary charter for the purpose of rendering members eligible to the fellowship without a second examination; that the memorialists had been in. duced to incur the expense, loss of time, and possible dia. grace of the ordeal in reliance upon the statements of the college that the charter of 1843 should be a final memorise; and they submitted that the proposed alteration would be injurious to the profession and unjust to themselves; that it would degrade the fellowship, and render it valueless in public estimation ; and lastly, that it would be a breach of faith towards those who had subjected themselves to the examination. On these grounds they prayed that the pro posed alterations should not be carried out. After the meet ing the memorial was signed by the majority of the gentle men present. SERIOUS BANK ROBBERY.-011 Saturday ien.• tleman in the commission trade, in this town, after having paid all the cash he bad to pay at his warehouse, took the remaining notes and a cheque (in all 7081.) to pay' into the bank of t , ir Benjamin Heywood and Co., St. Ann -street. He folded up the notes and cheque together, held them in his hand, and put his hand into an outer pocket of his coat. He had not been two minutes in the bank before he missed the notes, which he believes he had in hi s h an d at t h e door of the bank. The money consisted of three Bank of England notes of 201. each, one of lel., and one of 54 ; all the num. hers of which being known to the gentleman, payment of all of them was promptly stopped. With . the notes was a cheque for 3331. zll. upon Sir Benjamin Heywood and Co., payment of which was, of course, instantly stopped. Nothing has since been heard of the missing cash. —.Nan. chester Courier. IMPUDENT THIEVES.—On Friday night last A bur glary of an exceedingly imrudent nature was effected at the Louse of Mrs. Vowles, a widow, residing at Wrax,dl. The thieves bored several holes in the front door, by which they were enabled to open it and gain an entrance. They took off a box of wearing apparel belonging to a young lady living with Mrs. Vowlea, 131. or 141. of whose money they also appropriated. The rascals cooked and ate a dozen of eggs, with bread and butter, while upon the premises, and regaled themselves plentifully with cider from a cask in the Bristo: Journal.

On Thursday, William Johnson. sub-actuary of St. Helen's Savings' Bank, who had already, with his brother, been committed on a charge of embezzlement, was brought be fore Thomas Townley Parker, Esq. The prisoner was ap prehended at his brother's house, Walton, near Liverpool, early on Thursday. Mr. Thomas Haddock (in the absence of )fir. Aspinall, barrister,) conducted the case for the prose cution. Mr. Whitley, of Liverpool, appeared for the pri soner. James Thompson, farmer, of Bold, stated that he }aid on the 11th of August, 1845, 301. to the prisoner, which was entered in his pass-book.

RUN UPON THE SAYINGS' BANE, PERTH.--01iing to some panic that had taken effect upon a number of this depositors in this bank, a run took place upon it on Thurs.. day morning last. Unlike the most of savings' banks, the greater part of its funds are deposit e d w i t h one of the Scot tish chartered banks—having be en w ithd rawn from the Go vernment funds about a year and a h a lf ago, when the rats of interest upon public securities was so much lower than the general rate in the country, and lodged with the Na. tionai Bank of Scotland. When the money pro. vided to pay the depositors who were expected to operate upon their accounts on Thursday had run short, the cashier was obliged to pay the re s t w i t h cheques upon the National Bank. As the bank is open far paying only once a week, perhaps the alarm may have subsided before next Thurs. day. It is supposed that some unauthenticated rumours about certain parties recently connected with the bank had given rise to the panic.— Caltdonian Mercury. lADVERTISEMENT.]—The most fearful Cases of Dropsy curable by the use of Holloway's Pills.—The singular efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the numerous cures effected by their use in some of the most obstinate eases of dropsy is truly astonishing.

" The rebellion which so long oppressed the Pontifical subjects curing the late events, having been quelled by the arms of the Catholic power?, the legitimate Govern ment has been by degrees revived in the Ecclesiastical states, to the satisfaction of all good men. bull, to ful fil the wishes of Catholicism and of the subjects devoted to their Sovereign, the return of the Holy l'ontiff to his see was still wanting. Various difficulties have hitherto contributed to retard it, and especially the anxious &- sire of his nolitets to relieve the wants of thy• state. This object being now 'attained, he has resolvtd to return to his temporal dominion■ in the beginning of the following month of April. The Holy Father trusts that the band of the Lord, which led on the armed posers to the holy enterprise, will vouchsafe to bless the measures he constantly meditates for the good of his subjects. Nor does he doubt but that all the powers with whom the Holy See mteintsius amicable relations, and who contributed with their moral and material in fluence to restore the Sovereign rontiff to the full and tree exercise of his authority, will, animated by an equal and constant interest, be disposed to guarantee his li berty and independence, so indispensabie to the universal government of the Church, and to her peace, which is that of Europe. The undersigned Cardinal, Pro- Secretary of State, in communicating this to you, has the honour to renew the expression of his distinguished esteem. (Signed) " ANTONELLI." The Nazionale of Florence quotes a letter from Rome, stating that the diplomatic protocol was closed on the I.2tb, at Portici; and that it was understood that, on the Pore's return, he would immediately grant the Consults of State, and a sort of constitu tion modelled upon that of Austria. The POPS has convoked a secret consistory for the day after his return. He is to be accompanied, according to this account, by the King of NAPLES, RADETZXY, the French General, and General NIINZIANTS.

ADELPHI THEATRE Yesterday being the commencement of Passion Week, Mr. C. H. Adams, according to announcement, commenced his lectures on astronomy at the above theatre. The lecture is illustrated by a superb grand transparent orrery.
