The fortnight which will elapse before Parlia ment meets again will afford an opportunity for reflection, and perhaps, even now, that the first excitement is over, some may question the pro priety of the step they have taken in according their support to Mr. GLADSTONE. The extreme charac ter of the right hon. gentleman's proposition ought to have induced more caution on the part of the House, and prevented his having so large a majo rity. The Government took a far wiser and more constitutional course than their opponents, and so we doubt not people will think eventually when promises have to be put into performance. Another point which has been a good deal overlooked is this, that the time of the House will be taken up to a great extent in discussing the different points of the Resolutions, instead of proceeding with those mea sures which are most required in the interests of the public, and which might have been disposed of this year with advantage. The more we reflect upon the course pursued by the Leader of the Opposi tion, the more unreasonable does it appear. He cannot be ignorant of the fact that whatever is done this year by the old Parliament cannot be binding on the new one. It -is not the same as if they could pass a particular measure or introduce a decided change into affairs, because every one knows perfectly well that nothing definite could be done. There remains, then, another view to take of the matter : the resolutions must pass the House of Lords before they can be acted upon in any shape, and it does not require much skill to show that they are not likely to do that. Why, then, has the course of affairs been disturbed and the time of the House frittered away ? It is going a long way to affirm that all has come about for party purposes, and yet what other solution of the mystery can be given ? Had it been merely the desire to witness the disestablishment of the Irish Church that actuated Mr. GLADSTONE and his followers, it is certain that they need not have acted as they have done. Under any circumstances it would have been strange to have pressed on the discussion with so much precipitancy after the debate had already occupied some nights ; but when we remem ber that those who put themselves forward were only recent converts to the opinions they advocated with such zeal their extraordinary conduct is all the more unwarrantable. The unfair manner in which the right hon. gentleman acted throughout in making it appear that the present time was all that re mained in which to settle the affairs of Ireland, and the time he took in the discussion, altogether proved that he was bent en pursuing his own purpose coute qui conic. It is one thing to gain a victory, and another to put it to any account, and Mr. GLADSTONE may yet find out to his cost that he has attempted more than he can perform. The truth is, that he was in so much hurry to show that he was the " man that he toak no pains to discover the right and fitting " man" for the work in question. Many of those who were willing to give their sup port to Mr. GLADSTONE on Friday will not be so ready to follow him in all his subsequent ventures, and before the end of the Session he may not find that his success is so great as he imagined. There would have been no objec tion to take to this view on the part of the Opposition leader had the circumstances of the case not been so peculiar, but the manifest effort which he made to displace the Government was not in accordance with good taste or in keeping with the usages of Parliamentary courtesy. Knowing that they could not divide until next spring he sought to force them to resign, and thus have been master of the situation to explain his policy to the new Parliament ; and this was hardly a fair thing to do, and certainly not to be commended in any way. We'believe that the general public do not approve of the course pur sued by Mr. GLADSTONE, and would infinitely have perferred seeing a great and comprehensive change of this kind undertaken with more care and caution, and, above all, with no party feeling, or as little as possible introduced into the discussion. It will re main for the House of Commons to do their best in the task that lies before them, and to guard against extremes, which can lead to no good. Moderation is always found to be the wisest and safest policy in affairs of this kind, and those who agreed to the proposal to go into com mittee on Friday may perhaps come to the conclusion that all that Mr. GLADSTONE wishes to do is not expedient at present. The pre sent Parliament had quite enough before it without entering upon work that was more than it could possibly have accomplished, and doubtless this truth will be fully recognised before the summer is over. After the sweeping changes insisted upon by Mr. GLADSTONE people are apt to over look the fact that the Government by no means pledged themselves to uphold the Irish Church in its present form, but asked the House to wait until the Royal Commission had reported on the subject, and leave the next House to decide what changes or modifications were required. Had this very reason able desire been granted more might have been accomplished this year than is now at all likely to be effected, while the real object at issue would have been quite as well attained, for no practical result about the Irish Church can possibly be arrived at this year when all things are taken into consi deration. We have from the United States a brief account of Saturday's proceedings in the Senate Court. The Impeachment Trial is still of course the great question of the day. On it all interests are centred, to it all hopes are directed, and round it all plans and speculations turn. We have become so accus tomed to the constant wrangling between PRESI DENT and Congress that the actual crisis which the long struggle has reached has lost some of its im portance, but there can be no doubt that in Ame rica itself it is exciting the most vivid interest. Much may depend upon the issue, and the Radicals more especially are concentrating their voices with the object of destroying their resolute and unyielding adversary. It may seem at first sight scarcely worth their while to be so eager in the matter. The term of Mr. JOHNSON'S tenure of office is fast approaching, and he has never tried for re-election. The Radicals may reasonably THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, iB6B hope that he will soon be out of their way, and if they really believed that the feeling of the coun try was with them they might very well wait in patience for the full development of their policy. But the fact is that the prosecuting party are very well aware that the country is not with them, that Mr. JOIINSON, though occasionally betrayed into hastiness of language and conduct, is really better appreciated, and acted upon the general feeling of those classes who are not under the immediate influence of political partisanship. In condemning Mr. JOIINSON the Radicals aim at the discomfiture of the Democratic or moderate party, and they are eager to secure for themselves a more assured position. If the Senate Court should sanction the authority assumed by the House of Representatives, henceforward that assembly will be the chief power in the States. The Presidents will bow to its decision, and it will virtually have the nomination of the Cabinet in its hands, since Ministers must not be removed without its approval. This is quite a new reading of Constitutional Govern. 'pent, and one which, if permitted by the American people, will very soon alter the whole character of their institutions and government. The jealousy with which Congress regards any attack upon itself is still more ominous. Much of the charge against the PRESIDENT is based upon his censures of Con gress, and speeches in which be has denounced its action were on kriday and Saturday last produced in evidence by the prosecution. This is the first step towards that system which Americans, like Englishmen, so bitterly condemn in Continental countries, where criticism on public debates are forbidden, and free speech and a free press are only intangible shadows. If once Congress is allowed to stand above the reach of official cen sure or public criticism, then America may say fare well to her civil liberty. The number of the members is no guarantee for its preservation, since we have seen during the last session or two of Con gress how ready are the majority to follow the dictates of one or two unscrupulous leaders. the system of paid members, too, brings into the general assembly a class of men altogether different from our members of Parliament. Political adven turers, men who have objects to serve for them selves or others, men of no particular profession, all press into the American Congress, while even if they could obtain a seat they would gain nothing nothing by admission into the English House of Commons. This is another reason for watching the increasing assumption of Congress with much jealousy and suspicion, since the liberties of the people are not safe in its hands. A desperate ad venturer, a reckless schemer, a military dictator, might easily, by the proper combination of force and skill, make the majority his tools ; and the United States ought to have learned from the close of the 18th century that the existence of a public assembly is not always a guarantee for the safety of the State or the preservation of civil and religious liberty. On Saturday, so we learn by the Atlantic cable, the case for the prosecution was concluded, and the Court adjourned until Thursday next. Every effort to procure some delay has been resisted by the House, and the Managers of the Impeachment can scarcely conceal their impatient anxiety to press on the trial to its conclusion. The Senate Court re opened on March 23d under the presidency of Chief Justice CILASE. President JOHNSON'S counsel read his answer denying the Impeachment charges in de tail. The PRESIDENT claims that the removal of STANTON was no violation of the Tenure-of-Office Law, as Mr. STANTON was ap pointed by Mr. LINCOLN. He affirms that he removed him in order to test the legality of the Act. He denies conspiracy with Gen. THomis to seize the War-office, and states that his Western speeches were incorrectly reported, but claims that the PRE siDENT has a right to give his opinion on public affairs. Certainly this is a right which every other American PRESIDENT has hitherto acted upon. The reticence exacted from a constitutional mon arch, who in the eyes of the law " can do no wrong," is never demanded from a ruler whose term of office is limited, and who owes his election to the popular suffrages. If ABRAHAM LINCOLN had never expressed his opinions on the civil war, what would have been thought of his silence? If former Presidents had refused to utter their sen timents regarding slavery, how many supporters would they have found in either House? The Ame ricans are naturally an outspoken people, and they can hardly expect or wish to find in their President that absolute impartiality on all public affairs which England may look for in her reigning Sovereign, but never dreams of seeking in her Prime Minister. The replication, as it is termed, to Mr. JOIIN SON'S defence against the Impeachment charges, was adopted and filed in the House of Representatives by 116 to 36 votes. The replication, of course, reaffirms every charge, s i n ce the accusers are acting on a foregone conclusion, and the direct evidence of their senses would scarcely alter their line of policy in regard to the accused. The Senate, it would seem, is less strongly biassed than the Lower House, since the majority by which it was decided to prosecute the trial with all haste was only four, twenty-eight against twenty-four votes. After Mr. JOHNSON'S application for time this was . of itself an affront to the PRESIDENT, but in reality the delay would have been immaterial. The issue remains to be seen, and we shall probably learn within a day or two further particulars of the trial. It is most satisfactory to find that the affairs of Austria are progressing favourably in all respects, and the latest intelligence confirms the impression already entertained of the unanimity that existed between the two Houses. The Lower House of the Reichsrath has adopted all the amendments which were proposed by the Upper House to the Public Schools Bill. The bill for the organisation of the district laws was likewise passed. It is encouraging to notice this readiness on the part of both Houses to agree in all that relates to the public welfare, and it affords us a well-grounded hope that the future may witness still more important changes take place. Now the work of progress has begun it is not likely to stand still, and freed from some of those restrictive ways and customs, which were tolerated for the sake of old times, though they were felt to be burdensome, there is no doubt that the Austrians generally will develope into a much finer and more power ful nation. Side by side with the improvements in Austria, we may mention that the South German Parlia ment has just come to a very wise resolve, for it was settled by a large majority on a reso lution of Herr CASKER'S that the members of Parliament should not be liable to prosecution for speeches delivered by them in the House. We hope that this will be kept to, and not overruled as some of the decisions of the Prussian Chamber of De puties have been. There will be an end to all chance of freedom if hard and harsh measures against liberty of speech are to be put in practice, and we are not surprised that the sense and spirit of the assembly have declared against the notion. The only chance which the Germans can have of keeping their own against the encroachments of Berlin will be in keep ing to themselves a free and unfettered Parliament and they must not, on any consideration, consent to the imposition of laws which will cramp or re strain them, instead of allowing a free development. They have made a good beginning, so far as this goes, and we hope that they •will strictly adhere to the resolution whose principle they affirmed the other day, for by so doing they will increase their strength and greatly enhance their influence.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Delta has arrived with the heavy portion of the above mails, 16 passengers, £1,564 in specie, and 1,093 packages of cargo, consisting chiefly of Indian corn and wheat.

The accounts received at Gibraltar, Ist April, from Mexico are more satisfactory. At Tetuan the cholera had entirely disappeared.

President Johnson has vetoed the bill prohibiting appeals from Circuit to the Supreme Court, on the grounds that it leaves cases involving life and liberty wholly exposed to the judgment of inferior Courts, and has a retrospective effect in interdict ing appeals already before the Supreme Court. The President points out that the act con ferring appellate jurisdiction upon the Su preme Court was approved in February, 1867, and says nothing has since occurred to dis prove the wisdom of the act. The proposed bill would injuriously affect the legal equipoise of the Government, and establish a precedent which, if followed, would sweep away every check upon unconstitutional legislation. People would re gard the removal of the appellate jurisdic tion to the Supreme Court as an admission of the unconstitutionality of law appeals to test which are interdicted. The New Jersey House of Representatives has passed over the Governor's veto, the resolution withdrawing the ratification of the constitutional amendment altering the bask of the national suffrage. General Lopez, the betrayer of the late Emperor Maximilian, is in prison at Mexico. The Mexican judiciary courts have decided that the law under which Maximilian was executed was unconstitutional. The North German Lloyd's steamer, New York, from New York, arrived at Southampton to-day (March 6) with 84 passengers for this port ; Havre and Bremen, 41 sacks of mails and $13,000 in specie for Paris. On the 3d she spoke the steamer Bremen, 4th the Oldenburgh brig, No. 93, and on the sth the barque Charleo, steamers Berlin, English, and Achmidian. COititESFONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT., PARIS, SUNDAY, April 5. Mere must, as your readers may imagine, be very little news going, for the papers are still fighting over Prince Napoleon's visit to Berlin. Some time ago the Prince published a pamphlet, which he was very anxious to get noticed in all the journals both at home and abroad, because, as he told a friend of mine, he wanted to make a row—faire du tapage. I do not know if that was the object of his visit to Berlin ; if it was, he has thoroughly suc ceeded. Every day there is something fresh ; and, as no two papers agree, there is, of course, room for any amount of speculation. In fact, one would think that the decision of the great question Peace v. War depended far more upon the Prince than the Emperor. On the whole, I incline to believe that the Prince is in favour of peace. No doubt, if the honour or interests of France were attacked, J6rome, no less than Louis Napoleon, would be fez punishing the offender. But if all that I hear be true, the Prince does not get on well with Marshal Niel. The Minister of War thoroughly believes that we shall be fighting with Prussia before many months are gone, and is making the greatest possible efforts to be prepared for that event. On this point he and the Prince have had a somewhat lively discussion. Monseigneur has told the Marshal that he (the Prince) knows Germany better than the Marshal does, and that all his attempts to get up an international struggle of the kind in question will only end in disaster. The Prince's policy, so his friends assure us, is "peace abroad ; liberty at home." Your readers will ask, " And what of the Emperor ? That is just what no one knows ; what probably he himself does not know. There is a story in circulation just now, to the effect that a very high functionary attached to the War Office, and who contemplates resigning his post in order to become a candidate for the Corps Ld,gislatif, asked the Emperor if there was any chance of war for this year, because if there were he would remain at his post ; and that his Majesty replied that he would give his word of honour that there would be no war this year, at least not through any conduct of his. Nevertheless, the prepara tions, both offensive and defensive, go on rapidly. It is said that the . fortifications of Strasbourg and Metz alone will cost more than a million sterling. Poor M. de Kerv6guen ! Even his enemies and prose- cutors pity him. He has cut the most miserable figure at the trial now going on for slandering the Liberte, the Debats, and other papers. He has made a humble—not to say abject--confession, and throws all the blame upon M. Cassagnac, of the Pays, who forced him to go on with the matter even after he had discovered that the whole story was false. The Avocat Imp6rial was so touched by the spectacle of the defendant's misery that he appealed to the prosecutors by way of softening their animosity towards a colleague who was so " sadly humiliated." It is expected that the trial will close to-morrow. The only doubt is as to the severity of the sentence. Hostilities threaten in another quarter. The Senate has chosen for its reporter upon the Press and Public Meetings Bills M. Maupas, who is known to be strongly opposed to both measures. This appointment is supposed to indicate a determination on the part of the Senate to reject the measures, and thus bring the two Chambers into antago nism. This would be a very serious result, as it would shew that the Senate is even less inclined to moderate the existing despotism than the majority of the Legislative Body are. The matter is causing much talk. There is a rumour to the effect that during the recent riots at Charleroi, in Belgium, the rioters raised the cry of " Vive la France and Viva l'Empereur." It is said that similar cries were . raised during the disturbances at Geneva. If this be true, people will not believe that the coincidence was undesigned. When such manifestations occur in Belgium on the north and in Switzerland on the south, the Emperor will be accused of having had agents at both places. It is even rumoured that your Govern meat has made repress ntations on the subject ; but that of course is absurd. The Courtier Francais has just been sold to its old pro- prietors, the Vermorel Company. It was put up to auction, but there was only one bid of 50f. ; the reserve price was 30,000f.---21,200—n0t a large sum, but large enough for a paper which the Government seems deter mined to ruin. After having been suspended for some time, it will appear on the 9th. - - We have sad news from Algeria. When the famine was at its height a "philanthropic association" was formed to distribute food to the famished people. For three months the association worked heroically ; but all those who approached the Arabs collected in the depot of men dicity were struck down by typhus fever, and many died. The consequence is, that the association has been broken up. About forty or fifty Arabs are still dying of hunger and fever every day. According to the Paris correspondent of the Times, the proposal to dissolve the Corps Legislatif immediately was originated by certain .s.oppori.,ers of the Government in the Bc,dy who are afraid of the working of the new Press and Public Meetings laws. They said that, having helped the Government with their votes, Government ought to spew its gratitude by considering their position, and giving them an opportunity of getting re-elected, which they miint not have again. The proposal was strongly resisted by several of the Emperor's advisers. They urged that even if any such advantage as was imagined were obtained, the suddenness of the measure would have such a bad effect as to more than counterbalance the advantage. The reports sent in by the prefects were con tradictory. There is no doubt that many of them were divided between the desire to keep the Emperor well advised and the fear of speaking unpalatable truths which might injuriously affect their own promotion. The result is that the ele:;tions are postponed, in all probability until after the harvest ; perhaps until June 1869, when they must take place by effluxion of time. Readers of the Revue des Deux blondes will much regret to hear of the serious illness of M. Eugene Forcade, the able writer of the admirable " Chronicle of the Fortnight " which appeared in each number. M. Forcade has fallen a victim to overwork, and is now suffering from the most terrible of all calamities—madness. It manifested itself first during the festival at Venice on the translation of the remains of Manin. In the midst of that august ceremonial M. Forcade stepped for ward and lit a cigar at one of the tapers surrounding the sarcophagus—an indecorum whereof, of course, no sand man would have been guilty. He also went about to the shops ordering enormous quantities of decorations. This distinguished litterateur was born at Marseilles, and founded the well-known news paper in that city, the Semaphore. Removing to Paris, he became connected with other periodicals —some successful, some the reverse. One of them was suppressed at the coup d'etat, and Forcade was sent to prison for some severe remarks on that event. He was at one time chief director of the Patrie, and from 1856 to 1862 edited the Se»taine Financiare. He is, we believe, under 50 years of age. The Austrian Archduke Ernest has resigned the military command which he held at Gratz. The reason of his resignation is said to be his determination to follow the example of his brother Henry, and marry a girl of ple- beian origin. What is come to the Hapsburgs ? The Austrian Government finds King George of Hanover a troublesome guest, and has, so says the Laerte, written to his Majesty earnestly requesting him to leave Hietzing, and take up his abode elsewhere. He had better go to Rome, where dethroned kings are always at a premium. The Marquis de Moustier has received from the Roumanian Government a despatch denying the reported alliance between that Government and Russia, and also declaring that the first Government is in no way respon• sible for the monstrous bill against the Jews which had been introduced into the Legislature. It appears that there are 200,000 Jews in a total population of 4,000,000. After all, the anxiously-expected "grand field-day" foi the volunteers at Portsmouth is not to come off ; there is to be nothing but a mere "march past." Instead of the 17,000 or 18,000 men who were expected to go down for review, it is now calculated that 30,000 will attend. Con sequently, the place will be too small for a sham fight. Not only so, but should a fight and a march take place, the railway company would not guarantee the return of the forces that night to the metropolis. Under these circumstances the sham fight has been practically abandoned, though it is still urged that it might take place, for its abandonment is likely to altogether discourage the men, who have so long been lookirg forward to the part of the day devoted to the fight as the best. Though on the one hand it is said to be impossible to manoeuvre 30,000 men, on the other such a scheme is said to be practicable. There does not seem to be m ach likelihood of the decision being reversed, for Lord Elcho writes, "The intended Easter Monday field.day has undoubtedly broken down." Hia lordship appeals to the volunteers not on that account to be deterred from going. It is, no doubt, a great and grievous disappointment to all con cerned. But he trusts that the natural disappointment thus occasioned will not cause any volunteer to abstain from going to Portsmouth who had previously intended to do so. He expresses this hope asthe advocate of an increased capitation grant. So imposing a force as 30,000 carried by rail from distant places and massed on Southsea Com mon cannot fail, lie thinks, to impress spectators and the nation with the value of the volunteers ; and it may not, says his lordship, be unreasonably expected that this im pression will find an echo in the House of Commons should the subject of the capitation grant again come up for dis- cussi9n.

Colthurst, Richard Fort, Julian Goldsmid, Robert Jardine, W. A. Mackinnon, Capt. Mackinnon, Lawrence Oliphant, Colonel Packe, Sir R. Palmer, Sir Morton Peto, Jonathan Pim, Colonel Pryse, John Steel, Sir T. E. Winuington. CONSERVATIVES ABSENT.—Viscount Cranborne, James M. Gaskell, Nicholas P. Leader, George S. Sandford, Colonel Vandeleur. There were some peculiarities, and one mistake about what may be called the personal disposition of the division. The mistake—a very venial one— occurred on the Liberal side, and was in this wise : Mr. Traill, M.P. for Caithness-shire, was so unwell that he required the assistance of ,a friend, which was afforded by Mr. Miller, M.P. for Leith, and both were so preoccupied that they went into the " noes" lobby, and so gave two involuntary votes to the Government. In a certain way Lord Elcho is a prominent person, and so it may be thought worth while to observe that he, so to speak, sepa rated himself, for he voted in the first divi sion with the Government, but took no part in the second. The same course was pursued by Sir Robert Peel and Lord Ernest Bruce, while exactly the opposite line was taken by Lord Cranborne, who abstained from voting in the first division, but helped to swell the Government mino rity in the second. The political designation of a Liberal Conservative was well illustrated by Mr. M'Lagan, who halved his support between both parties, voting with the Government in the first, and with the Opposition on the second division. Amongst the notable absentees on the Government side were two members of the Cabinet, Sir John Pakiugton and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, both of whom neutralised their non-appearance; and as neither of the m was present at the Cabinet Council, which was held on Saturday, ii may be presumed that in both cases phi sical disability was the cause. The reasons for pairing on the part of two Liberals has been ascertained ; Sir George Grey being abroad, and Sir Henry Winston Barron being unwell. In regard to the Liberal members who voted with the Govern ment none of them having expressed their opinions during the debate, there is no overt clue to the rea sons of their proceedings ; but it may be said that it was currently reported during the week that the ad- herence of Lord Cremorne and Mr. Wyld to their party was at least doubtful, and it is to be remem bered that Mr. Saunderson and Mr. Mainwaring last year voted steadily with the Government all through the proceedings on the Reform Bill. It is just probable that nobody will be much troubled to discover the motive of such obscure members as Mr. Edmund Antrobus, Mr. Briscoe, Sir J. Matheson, and Mr. Herries Maxwell —except their constituents. In reference to the Conserva tive members who voted with Mr. Gladstone in both divisions, it may be said that there is nothing gener ally known by which to indicate the reason for the course taken by Lord Bingham (son of the Earl of Lucan) ; but as regards Mr. Butler Johnstone, in his speech on Mr. Maguire's motion on the state of Ireland, he distinctly stated that he would follow any leader that could dis establish the Irish Church. In regard to Sir J. M'Kenna, it was from the first understood that, as a Catholic member, he felt that he had no alterna tive but to Tote against the Irish Church. In three instances the total absence of Liberal members can be accounted for easily ; for Mr. Julian Goldsmid is on leave—has just "been married, and could not come ;" Mr. Oliphant is ill in America; and Sir Mor ton Peto could only vote at the risk of heavy pecu niary penalties. The total absence, both from the debate and the divisions, of Sir Roundel Palmer is significant ; while as to the rest, Mr. Jonathan Pim has given to his constituents a reason for his defection ; which may or may not be satisfactory, and as to Sir George Colthurst and Captain Mac kinnon, they were both certainly in the house at even a late hour on the evening of the division ! It is to be noted that Mr. Sandford, who, it was ex pected, would have followed Lord Cranborne's course, was entirely absent ; while Col. Vandeleur and Mr. Leader, two of the other absentees, were about the house up to Thursday, at any rate. It may be also worth while to notice that, in the first divi sion, Colonel Taylor and Mr. Whitmore were the tellers for the Government; while in the second Mr. Noel and Mr. Whitmore changed places, the latter voting and the former telling. In both divisions Mr. Glyn and Mr. Adam acted for the Liberals as tellers. When, in 1856, Mr. Miall proposed a motion similar to that of Mr. Gladstone; it was supported by but 95 votes, and rejected by a majority of 70, only 322 members voting or pairing on the occasion. In 1863, when the question was re vived by M. r. Dillwyn, th a t gent l ema n could not press it to a division, and Sir George Grey declared that disestablishment could not be e ffected without a r evo l u ti on. I n 1866 Sir John Gray submitted a motion on the subject, but without obtaining a division. Last year he was more successful, his motion being sup ported by 183 votes, and lost by only 12 ; while Mr. Gladstone spoke in emphatic condemnation of the Establishment. Now 330 members have voted for Mr. Gladstone's motion, and the majority in its favour is 60, or nearly twice as great a majority as that which in 1835 (33) voted for the more limited policy involved in the Appropriation Clause. THE GREY PARTRIDGE OF INDIA.---The grey partridge is often reared in captivity by the natives of India. They admire its shrill cackle as much as we should the sweetest notes of a nightingale ; and, besides, is a first-rate fighter, and affords nearly as much diver sion in that way as a game-cock. It is a hardy bird, and becomes bold and familiar, like the chuckore, sparring at people's legs, and flying at cats, dogs, and children. It feeds on rico and all kinds of grain, to which insects, especially white ants, should be occasionally added to correct costiveness. The pugnacious disposition of this bird renders it one of the easiest of all game to catch, and there is hardly a village in the wilder parts of Upper and Western Bengal where this amusement is not carried on. For this purpose a tame one is placed in a small cage covered with strong horsehair nooses, and carried out of an evening or earlymorningto the jungle. On arriving at a likely spot the fowler blows two or three timos upon the bird in the cage, an act which has the invariable effect of rousing the little captive to fury. It answers every puff by a shrill cry, and in a minute or so goes off into a paroxysm of rage and defiance, screaming and cackling challenges to all comers in which state it is placed on the ground dancing about in its cage, while the fowler retires behind some neigh bouring bush to watch operations. The decoy bird's calls have been answered probably all round the coppice by the time its master is hidden, and ore long an exceedingly diverting scene, s which I have more than once witnessed in Singbhoom, CUSUeS. Ono by ono the wild cock birds, whose crows have been audible nearer and nearer, emerge from the covert, heads up, wings down, and tails spread, and after showing off in . a species of war dance before the cage, thn nearest rushes at it with a charge that would send it rolling off the scene wore it not securely pegged to the ground. The bird within and the bird without engage furiously, a la Pyramus and Thisbe—but with kicks instead of kisses —through the intervening wall, till after a few inter changes of this nature, the assailant finds himself fast by the leg in one of the 1:100Se6. The fowler runs out, de taches the captive, and retreats with it to his ambuscade, whereupon other wild birds which have been scared away at sight of the man, quickly reassemble, and the same scene is enacted with another champion, and so on, du capo, till the whole are secured or till the decoy bird has become exhausted and sulky. -.,, 4...... , HER MAJESTY.

MR. GLADSTONE'S FAMOUS AIVD DISGRACEFUL MOTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—There are yet a fuw more remarks I am anxious to make to you on the above-named infa mous conduct of her Majesty's Opposition. Im primis, no one member of the present Administra tion pretends for one single instant to contend that the present state of the Irish Protestant Church is satisfactory, or that if it ought not to be entirely abolished it ought at least to be greatly revised and altered. How can any one in their senses suppose that, because some eminent sur geon or physician tells their patients that they ought not to take a particuler medicine at a particular time, that the same medicine may not prove highly beneficial at another time ? Or does any lessee complain that albeit his land-. lord admits that an old room, or part of the house ought to be pulled down, or a new wing added, that he will not allow it to be commenced until the lease has expired? How long a time have not our new Law Courts been delayed in order that the lessees should not be disturbed. But no one ever supposed that on that account the authorities which allowed, the lessees' terms. to run out did not admit the necessity of the new Law Courts. No man can with advantage put a piece of new cloth into an old , garment, or new wine into old bottles. Pari ratione can be shown the utter folly, absurdity, and complete waste of time of bringing forward a most momentous question at the fag end of an old, condemned, moribund Parliament. Surely, however great an injustice the Irish Protestant Church may be, neverthless the Irish Roman Catholics can afford to wait one short year longer, especially when we reflect that the Whigs during their all but 40 years reign allowed the whole thing to slumber. All parties agreed in condemning the old 10 per cent, income-tax which was levied during the time of the old Freach war, and which actually did expire on the sth of April, 1815, being the first of April after the general treaty of peace of 1814. But all parties consented, without a single murmur, to its reimposition for one short year, to move an, order to wind up, at the end of a long and expert- sive war. However ill any one may be supposed to have acted, no right-thinking individual ever thinks of marrying the said man or woman in their last hours, and when it is known that they have not long to live. People are willing to tolerate divers faults in a servant when they know the said party is about to quit their service. I could pursue this theme to a far greater extent, but I think I have said quite enough to show that the present Opposition is fully condemned in having brought forward their Irish Church motion at such a time as the present, and when, owing to the delay in the meeting of Parliament arising from the fact of our having had an autumnal session, and, later still, the illness and consequent resignation and retire ment of our excellent ci divant Premier, so much remains to be done, and we are already far ad vanced in the session. However, we have lived to witness the present state of things, and therefore I earnestly hope Mr. Disraeli will do as all men ought to do under similar circumstances, and that is, boldly look his enemy in the face. Should Ministers therefore be defeated on Lord Stanley's .and Mr. Gladstone's divisions to-night, let him at once appeal to the country. If we should he put to all the worry and annoy ance of two general elections within a year of one another, the thing is' not without precedent, as I remarked to you in my letter yesterday. In the spring of 1807 there was a general election within six months after the general election which had taken place the previous autumn of 1806. Again, in the spring of 1831, there was a general election, albeit there had been one the previous summer, 1830, on the demise of the Crown. Now although at the time of the general elections in the autumn of 1806 and summer of 1830, the general elec tion which came to pass in less than a twelve month afterwards was not foreseen never theless, at the general election which took place during the month of May, 1831, the general election of December, 1832, only a year and a half afterwards, was well foreseen, as it was universally believed that the Reform Bill then in discussion would become the law of the land, and that too at a much earlier period than it did become so, as few persons contemplated its rejection by the House of Lords in October, 1831; consequently a general elec tion was contemplated in less than a year from the time of the aforesaid general election of May, 1831. I have, therefore, furnished you with abun dant evidence to prove to you that we are not without precedents of having had general elections taking place within a very brief period of each other, as we had in 1806, 1807, 1830, 1831, and 1832, and the year following our present Prime Minister, Mr. Disraeli, himself stood for Marylebone in favour of annual Parliaments ; and",this very likely he will do again when he considers that the proper time has arrived for such a step, and he sees it wise and expedient to do so. Nor, to my mind, would there be the least dishonesty in his again advocating the same mea sures which he did 35 years ago, when he stood for Marylebone. The late William Cobbett said when speaking of the death of the Princess Charlotte, " In one sense her death must be regarded as a blessing, however good and amiable she may have been, because it multiplies the chances of frequent dissolutions of Parliament," owing, I presume, ac cording to his opinions, to the fact of some of George lll.'s numerous children having any grandchildren who could succeed to the throne, and the chances of a number of short reigns in consequence, which must have led to frequent dissolutions of Parlia - ment.—l remain, Sir, your faithful servant, A LOVER.

A SCOTCHED ENTAIL.—There wiil be much joy at Tattersall's upon the occasion of a decision pro nouncedon Thursday last in the Edinburgh Court of Ses sion, which affects seriously the future position of the successors to the great Scotch dukedom of Hamilton Brandon, and Chatelherault. The present duke has brough t an action of declaration against his brother, Lord Charle4 George A rchibald Hamilton, and others for the purpose of having it, found and declared that the various deeds of entail of the Hamilton estates are invalid and ineffectual in so far as regards the prohibitive and irritant and resolu- Live clauses therein contained and referred to, and that he (the pursuer) is entitled to hold the said estates in fee simple, and dispose of them at pleasure. Lord Barcaple has given judgment, finding that the entails under which the Duke of Hamilton holds - his ancestral estates are in valid, and that he may bring the property to the hammer as soon as he pleases. There will, of course, be an appeal to the Inner House, but it is said that the best legal autho rities entertain no doubt that the Lord Ordinary's judg ment will be affirmed.—Pall Mall Gazette. ilorniman's Pure Teas are Bd. per pound cheaper.

MARKETS—(This Day.) C ORN. The corn trade is firm, on the general impression that the supplies available between this and harvest are cer tainly not in excess, and may prove hardly adequate for requirements. From the country markots the reports speak of firm prices and is advance for wheat. From abroad the telegrams do not note much change. In Mark-lane to-day there was a fair attendance, and the trade was firm. Very little English wheat had up to this morning's mar ket, and rather more money asked, and the extreme of late rates to an occasional small advance in price. Foreign wheat well held and fully as dear, with few ad ditional arrivals. Oft the coast there were eight cargoes of wheat on Sa turday, and six moro have since arrived. The floating trade is firm but without activity. The flour trado is firm, with a moderate inquiry fur both English and foreign. Malt in fair request at late rates. Barley met a quiet sale on stand, and several cargoes have arrived off the coast, making buyers more cautious. Beans and peas remained in moderate request. No fresh arrival of oats this morning, and the trade quint, without change in prices. Maize on stands inactive. Three cargoes arrived off the coast. No quotable change in seeds. NEWGATE AND LEADENIIALL. Meat—The markets were not cleared on Saturday, and with further arrivals this morning, upon a dull market, prices are lower by 2d to 4d per stone. We quote beef 3s to 4s currently with 4s 2d occasionally; mutton. 3s 24 to 4s 4d, the latter being the extreme price ; veal, 4s to 4s 8d ; and pork, 3s 84 to 4s 6d ; lamb, 6s 84 per stone of 81bs by the carcase. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The supplies of live stock this morning were heavier than in the previous week, and the accounts from the dead meat markets being dull, buyers have acted with caution. Of beasts, there wore from Scotland 345, from various parts of England 2,515, from Ireland none, and from abroad 920. Sales progressed slowly, and pricos were lower, except the primest qualities. Of sheep the proportion of foreign was 2,790. The trade was heavy, and prices depressed. Of calves, 216 came to hand, 206 being from the Con tinent. Trade for veal was dull, and lower rates wera taken. Pork met a steady sale a t l a t e ra tes. Quotations : —Beasts, 3 s -4d t o 4 8 10d ; calves, 3s 44 to 5s 6.1; sheep, 3s 4d ; pigs, 3s to 4s 4d.
