If 'the reason be asked why Great Britain, adopts a policy so retrogi ad.e— one calculated to render her so unpopular with the Chris ions of the East ?--• he reason is, Austria must be propitiated. The' Austrian alliance is necessary, and cannot be done without. And so the Danubian Principalities are to be given up as a holocaust to Austria now, ju-t as Poland, even to the very men tion- of her existence, was sacrificed to Austria dur ing the late hostilities. We animadvert upon this lleT feature of Lord Palmerston's policy as highly detrimental to our posit:on and influence in the East, and at the same time as destructive of all the hopes of Poland. The result of the present Britishpolicyat Constantinople and on the Danube is and c3n bs no other than to disgust France, and t force her to take refuge in the arms and the alliance of Russia. If any one circumstance more than another is calculated to seal 'the me'ancholy fate of Poland, it is an alliance be tween France and Russia. This alliance England has done, and is doing, her best to promote, by the jealous and hostile spirit with which we have re jec ed, and with which we have opposed at Con stantinople even what is generous and noble in French policy. It so happened that France made generous pro mises to the Danubians—promises that wou'd have led to their ,union under Turkish suzerainty, and to their independence both of Russia and Austria. The English Government has deliberately preferred to break with France on this question, and to side wit.b Austria. r The-provinces ania.ta. be disunited„ and to be given back once more to the Aus trian party to . misgovern. They are to bo kept divided, in order that they may be the more easily absorbed, and sacrificed. And, in a word, the pre sent fate of Poland awaits the Danubian Princi palities. The Da.nubians - see this ; th - e French deplore this ; Lord Palmerston not merely looks on_and applauds this, but he labours to bring it about. THE ENGLISH BREAD-BOOK, for Domestic Use, adapted to Families of every grade : Containing Plain Instructions and Practical Receipts for making numerous varieties of Bread ; with Notices of the t resent System of Adulteration and its Consequences, and of the Improved Baking Processes and Insti tutions established Abroad. By - Erazs .! - crox, Author of "Modern Cookery for Private Families." We ask the Poles whether they have anything to hope from the liberalism of a Minister who has in his hand at this moment the union and the restoration of the Rouman race, and who merely makes use of the power and the oppor tunity to hand back five millions of men to their oppressors. Turkey, it is well known, eau exerzise no immedlate sway in the Prin cipalities. • Treaties forbid her troops to enter them, and without troops how are they to be quieted when every promise is broken to them, and every one of their desires is rejected ? The reign of the Bibescos and of the Stourdzas will recom mence, and must be followed by disturbances and insurrections. Native troops there are none. Con sequently, order—as it is called—must be pre served, as at Warsaw, by Russian or by Austrian soldiers ; for neither France nor England can send regiments so far. This will be the result of a two years' war and of a hundred millions of expendi ture. We undertook that war to rescue the Prin cipalities from Russia, and we end it by virtually giving them to her. Chambers_ " Illustrious, Noble, and Hononred Gentlemen of the Two Chambers of the Diet,—During the session which I has just terminated, your attention • has been abiorbed by the examination of numerous and important bills, and a graat . majority of them have been brought to a satis factory conclusion. The *two chambers of the Parlia ment have consented to a modification of the constitu tion, which gives to the Government a greater liberty f"r clearing on_the period for the convocation of the re. pressintativss of the country. The law !elitism to ecels-iastical establishments, schools, and charitable foundations!, regulates the interests connected with them in a suitable manner. The law which regularises the rlatious b<tveen the nobles and the peasants wall re gard to the letting of property completes the legislation previously in force on that subject, and puts an end to a very embarrassing legal uncertainty. The measure which bad for object to simplifasthe tax on rural proper ties has a practical significancy not less important. The bill interdicting unlawful credit being given to minors will, it is hoped, put an end to the ruinous conse quences; of usury. Other questions which have been solved have had for effect either to amend or com plete existing laws, or to reoulate points of legisla- • tills• which have been doubtful The Government of his Majesty feels great satisfaction in having been able during the session to submit to the chamber different treaties made by. the state, which satisfy wishes that bad been ()caressed, and which treaties the two chambers have readily. adopted. By the convention con , ended with the Crown of Denmark on March 14 last, the Seund dues are definitively abolished, and the navi gation and commerce of the Baltic will thereby receive a considerable development. The treaties entered into with Russia relative to railways have secured the esta blishment of a communication, by a double line of rails, between Prussia and the neighbouring state on the east. That communication opens to our commerce, on a lerger scale than hitherto, the immense extent of the Russian empire. The monetary treaty, concluded on the Jan. 24 last, between the States of the German Customs Union and the Austrian Government, constitutes a real pro gress towards a German monetary unity, and regulates ,Usit.importiint interests connected therewith. The Jaw which prohibits payments in foreign bank notes has been" voted. We may hope that the necessity which dictated that measure will be felt elsewhere, and give rise to a ' satisfactory understanding for regulating the issue of these representative securities. Although the Govern ment of the Kiog has, in this vote and in a number of others met with the eager support of the national repre sentatives, it has, on several important bills, been unable to obtain the constitutional assent of the Diet. The serious examination which was given in the Chamber of Deputies to the bill relative to the civil right of divorce, has proved that a deep conviction was felt of the neces sity of a reform in that matter. Nevertheless no definitive decision has yet been come to on the subject. The same may bo said of several other important measures of a financial character. The budget of the current year,has been voted without modification, after a serious dis cussion, and the Diet has given its approbation to the economical system of expenses adopted by the Ad ministration. The propositions relative to the appli cation of the residue of the extraordinary credit thirty millions of thalers, previously granted, bade received your full approbation, and your assent has also been given to the Lll relative to the tax on joint-stock companies, and to that which grants additional guaran tees to treasury bonds and loan securities. On the other hand, no understanding has been come to on the subject of the bills for the establishment of a general tax on houses, for the reestablishment of the previous duty on salt, and for the modification of the law on patentes (licence to trade). The Government of his Majesty pre sented these bills because, whilst respecting the objec tions made against the possibility of demanding more from taxation, it does not consider those objections suf ficiently important to relieve it from the obligation of prsposing new resources for the pressing wants of the state, the existing resources not being, in its opinion,_ either sufficient or likely to become so. The duration of service of the permanent army of militia, fixed at three years by the law of the 3d of September, 1814, has again been recognised by the two chambers of the Diet as useful and necessary. The Government would con sider that it failed in its responsibility towards the e )un try if it were to lay down an exception to this legal obli gation. It regrets, however, that, in presence of the ex isting dearness of living, it has not obtained, in the measure it hoped for, the co-operation of the Diet in giving proper salaries to the inferior employee of the ad ministration. Lastly, his Majesty's Government ex presses the conviction that it remains faithful to the souvenirs of her national history, and to the traditional 'character of the Prussian administration, by continuing to unite to prudent economy the constant solicitude with which it watches over the progress of the prosperity of the country. By order of his Majesty the King, I de clare the session of the two Chambers of the Diet closed." TRANSPORTATION TO WESTERN AIISTRALIA.—The in telligence of the agitation which had been going on in England with res p ect to the ticket-of-leave question, and the w report of the committee of the House of Lords on transportation had been received with great satisfaction by the colonists of Wattern Australiai - wito wertroituguine that it vi ould lead to their receiving a regular supply of convicts, whose labour is much needed in the colony. There would be no objection to receive a considerable number of convicts on the part of the inhabitants for some time to come ' • but we must distinctly warn the home authorities that the people of Western Australis are only willing to receive convicts of a useful and better, class, and that a continuance in the practice of only sending out the worst criminals and desperadoes will infallibly close the last outlet which this country now possesses for transportation.—Australian and New Z ea and Gazette. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE IN SOMERS TOWN.—Yester day morning that portion of Somers-town celebrated as one of the Sunday markets, was the scene of much ex citement, which was occasioned by a man throwing over one of his neighbours a large quantity of vitriol, thereby causing, serious, if not fata►, injuries. Shortly after tea o'clock two boys were seen fighting in Church-way, when tho father of one of them (Thos. Robinson, a man about 50) attempted to separate them. He had co sooner interfered, then Brett, who resides immediately opposite, savagely rushed forth, can in hand, and three the contents, about a quart of vitriol, over Robinson. Brett was immediately assailed by the crowd, who ex hibited every intention of dealing summarily with him. The timely arrival of police-constable 365 fortunately prevented this, and the cowardly assailant was conveyed to the station-house. He did not deny the charge, but said exultingly, "I am glad of it, I hope he is dead." The injured man was conveyed in a cab to the Univer sity College Hospital by police-officer 198. Upon in inquiry at the hospital last night, it was found that but little hope was entertained of the uhimate- recovery of the injured man. ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUND.—On Saturday evening the 30th anniversary festival of this admirable fund took place at the Freemasons' Tavern. Sir. R. Peel presided, and there were also present amongst the guests Sir Charles Eastlake, F.R.A. ; Sir W. Ross, R.A. ; D. Roberts, R.A. ; E. M. Ward, R.A. ; J. T. Willmore, A.R.A. ; J. R. Foley, A.R.A. ; Mr. J. Dickenson, F.R.S , with other artists and admirers of art. The usual complimentary toasts having been given with much spirit, and duly honoured, the chairman gave the toast of the evening, and, referring to the greatly in creased patronage which the public of late had bestowed upon works of art, stated that at the private view of the two Water Colour Societies purchases were eagerly made among the works exhibited to the amount of 3,0001., and at the private exhibition of the Royal Academy to the extent of 9,0001. He fully believed that the total amount of purchases effected during the present - season at the various exhibitions would not fallshort of 30,0001. This was a most gratifying proof of the estimation which the public bad of the artist's labours. Still it Was in cumbent upon them to provide among themselves a fund which should be available for them in the event of those sudden visitations and misfortunes which fell upon artists, as upon other men, often when in the height of their prosperity. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, and a substantial proof of its cordial reception wf n d a in e the subscriptions announced during as the oun cour se of previous anniversary, from to the her of the evening, siiihaiclehhaemenonantebdaertiohnsdooa/t. aTnyhisprweNrs. larger sum than t npl im donation e n ta ry anniversary, Majesty of 1001. i an 'lincludedtl ert t o h a e sts lB c L o b officers of the fund and the Royal Academy were drunk with great applause during the evening.

A desptch from Washington of the sth say "It is said in responsible quarters that• the Admi nistration, although not approving the supplemen tal Central American treaty as amended,-and doubt ful of the • ppwer or propriety of withholding it, thought it but courteous to the Senate to transmit it to the British Government" • So far as ascertained, not one of the members ofl the Cabinet_ pgrts the rejection of the treaty. , The Administration naTinitiins that the British Government has - failed to - execn e the Clay ton- Bul-- wer treaty, and will insist uq on. its being carried out in goo' faith. The - New York commercial advices report that the prices of stocks were lower and the market dull. The rates of money, in consequence of the large amount exported, were in favour of the lenders. Exchange was firm at 1091 to 109 k on London, and at sf. 182 e. to sf. 17ic. on Paris. Cotton had declined lc. United States flour was sc. to 10c. better, and Canadian firmer. Wheat was also fit mer.

The sugar-market was firm, with an advancing tendency. Molasses were scarce and high in price. lity, had been re2entiv shipped to Europe, and the trees Fere generally-in a flourishing, state. Thqv market was abundantly supplied with provisions and general merchandise, and prices were descend ing. Flour was tariffed at 40s. the barrel.

A slight shock of earthquake was felt on Suoday morning, the 19th ult., about 10 minutes to 9 o'clock. Produce was coming down largely and rapidly to the wharfs and quays, and sh'ps were busily engaged taking in car goes. - The yearly report of the Agent-General of Immigrants hail just been published, and the condition and order of the immigrant la,lour in thin colony was represented in it in a very favourable aspect. From the tabular_ returns accompanying the report we learn that the immigrant population on Dee. 31, 1856, was 6;683, since increased by the arrivals of 849 adults and 101 children. Of the number there at the beffinning of the year 3,484 coolies were under the first indenture for five years; 331, having completed their first five years, had. accepted the $5O bounty, and indented for another like period ; 596 had taken the' $lO bounty and ' entered upon a year's indenture ; 720 had taken out certificates of industrial residence ; 657 were Chinese and 892 children. The deaths of coolies during the year were 110, and the births -In 1856 - C.() number who returned to India was 240, and the total of arrivals was 566 adults and 61 non-adults. The Agent-General clo4es his report with the note that upwards' of 100 of the Chinese under indenture have applied to purchase the redemption of their remaining year of industrial residence, and that there is every reason to believe that on any future importation of these people more than two-thirds of the number would pay up their indentures at the expiry of the third year. A. careful and searching examination had been made into the causes of the mortality on board this year's immigrant vessels, the results of which had not been published ; but it was believed that they all tended to show that the mortality was mainly owing to the state in which they were embarked, aided by the change in diet. At Martinique the sugar crop was proceeding prosperously, and high prices were still maintained. The state of health in the Windward Islands was very good. Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's ship Exmouth, 91, and the Colos sus, 81, Captains H. Eyres, and H. Broadhead, arrived at Spith'ad on Saturday from the Tagus, last from Plymouth, to remain until after the visit of the. Grand Duke Constantine of Russia. • The Malacca, 17, Captain Farquhar has also been ordered to remain at Spithead and complete with provisions. Other ships will muster at Spit head as we have before stated, but not with the view of making any "naval demonstration." The Admi ralty yacht Osborne, Master-Corn. Bower, will go to Cherbourg to bring or pilot over the Grand Duke, and her Majesty's State yacht Victoria and Albert is also ordered to be ready for service by the 20th inst. The Eurydice, 26, sailing corvette, Capt. Tarle ion arrived at Spithead on Saturday from the W es t Indian station to be paid off. The Fire Queen steam yacht, Master-Commander Paul, embarked her Majesty's Privy Council from the Royal Clarence-yard, Gosport, on Saturday, and took them to Osborne. Captain G. H. Sey mour, C. 8., received their lordships on arrival, the Port Admiral being on leave. The Urgent, iron steam troop-ship, Commander I hillips, atrired at Spithead on Friday night from Plymouth, with the 54th Regiment, which disem barked at Portsmouth Dockyard on Saturday. The Volcano steam-vessel, Master-Commander Hockings (floating Smithy for the China squadron) is having her old boilers taken out and the Sala mander's put in, which will not detain her longer than a week. The Melville, 72, hospital ship, Commander Trollope, has had ber copper stripped off, and is undergoing a thorough recaulking, which will de tain her several days longer in dock. The Abbe Pauvert, a French clergyman and Che valier of the Legion of Honour, has, it is said, at length solved the problem of converting English iron into steel. M. Mesnli, acting on behalf of the abbe, has made experiments in the dockyard, Wool wich, during the last week, by authority of the Go vernment and in the presence of the principal offi cers of the Engineer department and other official personages. He has succeeded in proving to their satisfaction that he can produce steel of very supe rior quality from the most ordinary cast and pud dled iron, and pieces of iron in any state, at an ex traordinary reduction itfprice. M. Pauvert has secured his invention by a patent from the British Government. The articles of newly invented steel tested at the dockyard were clipping tools, chisels, taps, dies, and other instruments in general use in factories. The conversion of the metal does not re quire the slightest change in the arrangements of the melting furnace, the system being composed of chymical operations alone. A favourable report was, on Friday, forwarded to the Admiralty, in consequence of which it is expected that -the steel will be employed in many of the ordinary purposes for which iron is now used, such as piston-rods, springs, &c. The Niagara steam-vessel, belonging to the Ame rican Government, which arrived in the Thames on Wednesday last for the purpose of receiving a cable for the Transatlantic Submarine Telegraph, has left for Holyhead. It appears that the captain of the Niagara, in consequence of some mistake, considered that he was to ship the cable manufac tured at East Greenwich, but on visiting Woolwich Dockyard found that no orders had been received for mooring the vessel named. He then proceeded to the Admiralty-office, where he received infor mation that the orders were for the Niagara to ship the cable manufactured at Holyhead, and that the Agamemnon is to receive the cable manufactured at East Greenwich. E.XPF;_RIMENTS ON NEW DECKED COP PER PONTOONS AT CHATHAM. On Monday last, the 11th instant, Major Has sard, with a party of the Royal Engineers, em barked the 32-pounder, left on the beach at Upnor, on a raft of three piers of casks, and deposited it on the gun-wbarf ; but on Tuesday, when he went to get up the second 32-pounder, sunk at Roches ter-bridge,- a valuable copper buoy, imprudently left to mark the spot, was missing, having been stolen in the night ; and the diver, who was sent down to sling the gun, recommended that the opera tion should be postponed till Wednesday morning, when, in a second attempt, after making numerous signals from the bottom, respecting • the air-pump, he suddenly ceased to do so, and, after waiting some time, was pulled up and found dead, probably from apoplexy, as there was no water in his he'met or dress. A coroner's inquest was held on the body soon after, when, on examining Major Hassard and other witnesse3, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased was accidentally drowned. On reading an account of these proceedings Sir Charles Pasley went down to Chatham by an early train, accompanied by Mr. Siebe, of 5, Denmark street, Soho, who had 'supplied all his diving ap paratus for the operations against the wrecks of the Royal George and Edgar, for six successive seasons, when no accident ever occurred, except when two of the military divers, Jones and Girvan, having quarrelled about a floor-timber of the for mer wreck, engaged in single combat at the bottom of Spithead, when Jones kicked out the eye of his adversary's helmet, which immediately filled with water, and ho would have been drowned, if ho had not been pulled up without loss of time. On their calling upon Col. Sand ham he informed them that the helmet was not one of Siebe's pattern, but supplied by another manufacturer, and was in perfect order when the accident occurred. Colour-Sergeant Bar nicoat, of the Royal Engineers, who lost his life on this melancholy occasion, was a very good diver, who had acquired his experience as a private in the operations against the Royal George and Edgar, and was private Girvan's assistant, and pulled him up in time to save his life, .at the period before alluded to. A subscription was immediately set on foot among the Queen's and Company's En gineers and others, at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, to establish his widow in business as a dressmaker, assisted by her daughter, she being re spected in the corps as much as her husband was distinguished for his services, last in the Crimea, whilst their only son, a boy, is now being educated at the Royal Hibernian Asylum, which has supplied some of the best non-commissioned officers for the survey companies of the corps. On ascertaining that the diving apparatus in which he lost h's life was not made by Mr. Siebe, las they apprehended, Sir Charles Pasley took him down to the Engineers' depot, near St. Mary's shorted Creek, and shorted him his two canoes that had been fractured by the gun in its fall, but were now under repair by Sergeant Donald, carpenter, and Corporal Hawkins, coppersmith, of the Royal En gineers, to whom Sir Chartes communicated his final instroctions, adopting some improvements in the mode of fixing the deck eye-bolts, suggeSted to him by Mr. Siebe, and approved by those skilful military artificers. It is Sir Charles Pasley's intention to perform the same operation, which failed on the 11th, on Monday, the 25th inst., when his raft of two canoes, after taking on board at the gun-wharf, Chatham, a 32-pounder on its travelling-carriage, as before, will row from thence to Rochester, where it will be exposed to the fury of the ebb of another spring tide, by moorings previously laid at the high-water slack, with the heads of its upper demi-canoes be tween the starlings of old Rochester-bridge, not vertically beneath the rapids which overwhelmei it on that occasion, but about 20 feet lower down. Circulars will be sent to the same officers and gen tlemen as before, and a correct account of the pro ceedings will be published next day in the same journals, the editors of which have kindly given the first unsuccesfal trials• of this new-tiecked copper pontoon a, place in their columns.

The Ori noco experienced on the Jititieward voyage light easterly winds till the Bth May, nor h and north westerly till Vie 13th, Southerly breezes till her ar rival in the Channel, and ire the Channel light airs and calms. Our dates.from Jainaica are to the 27th ult. in clusive, being the day on which the steamer left. There is no news of any importance whatever. The chief topic in the papers is the capture of the slave ship by her Majesty's brig Arab, off the coast of Cuba, of Which intelligence has already been re ceived in England by way of America. The island generally was healthy. The head-quarters of the 3d West India Regiment embarked on the 22d ult. in her Majesty's transport steamer Persever ance, for Demerara. From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer of the 23th, we learn that coffee was getting scarce and bringing 435. to 445. 'for ordinary. Sugar was worth 235. to 265. according to quality. The stock of corn was light, and but little doing ; 435. per bushel had been realised for lots for some time past. Of flour some late parcels had been sold at 37s Gd. to 38s. Alewives continued at 245. Late parcels of American butter sold, at ls. Two recent cargoes of codfish had been sold at 18s. tierces, and 20s. boxes, but the last was held fa- advanced rates. Herrings were plentiful, and only commanded 245. per barrel. Hams abundant, and little demand ; last sales at 9d. There were no arrivals of pork ; mess, of which the stock was very small, was held at 128 e. ; late sales at IG2s. for prime mess. A cargo of rice from Barbadoes at auction realised Ils. Gd. for yellow, and 13s. 6d: for white. Of pimento there was none at market. Rum was worth' 3s. 5d to 3s. Gd. per gallon, proof 18. Soap was dull, with large stock in the hands of dealers. Tongues were in scanty supply; a parcel of very superior Ameri can sold at 60s. Exchanges on London :--Jamaica and Colonial Banks, 90 days, 41 per cent. premium ; 60 days, one per cent. premium ;30 days, per cent. premium ; priVa'e bills at par. On New York merchants' bills 12 per cent. premium. At Demerara the vacancies in the Court of Policy occasioned by the resignation of the Hons. Dr. Havey and A. D. V. Gon Netacher had been filled up by the election of Messrs. D. Macdoneld and J. E. Roney. The new Militia Bill was read a second time ou the 20th ult. by a majority of one, after a vigorous and strong opposition. The Chief-Justice had moved for a return of all the male Portuguese between the ages of 16 and 50 resident in Georgetown, with the view of in troducing certain resolutions urging upon her Majesty's Government the propriety of getting the clause in the treaty between England and Portugal *rescinded which exempts Portuguese from military duties in a British colony. The weather during the fortnight previous to date of advices had continued dry, and warm. The young canes were thriving and there was every prospect of a fair crop. The exports dui ing the fortnight had amounted to —sugar, 2,730 hhds., 209 trcs., 242. brls., 400 bags ; rum, 1,327 puns:, 351 hhds., 33 brls. ; molasses, 204 puns. ; coffee, 3 brls. ; cocoanuts, 53,432 ; timber, 12,255 cubic feet ; lancewood spars, 164 ; hides, 508 ; horns, 2,196 ; flour, 331 brls. ; rice, 4,425 bags ; pork, 70 brls. • gin, 100 cases; 50 demijohns ; chain cable, 3;• anchors, 4. Trade was still dull among the merchants. Freights scarce. At Barbadoes a new road bill, unaltered from the one recently thrown out bythe Council, wasbrought in and passed by the Assembly on the 21st ult. The health of the island con .inued good, and trade in some branches was brisk. There had been a great many arrivals lately; and, the market being over s'ocked with breadstuffs, inactivity and depressed prices were the result. The wind had been favour able for crop operations, which proceeded slowly. Some few estates,, principally in St. Michael's parish, had finished, but the crop was on the whole backward, nor was it likely to be equal to last year's. The export of sugar to the 27th amounted to 11,250 hhds., 584 tierces, 2,077 barrels ; Molasses, 2,181 puns., 37 hbds., 50 brie. ; rum 31 puns.'; cotton 11 bales; aloes 18 goitrds,—not more, so far as sugar is concerned, than half of the quantity shippel at the same time last year. Popular demonstrations were being made in Gre nada against the charcoal tax, and other obnoxious measures of taxation recently initiated by the' Exe cutive Council, and carried through the influence of its members in the House of Assembly. The weather was still favourable for the work of sugar manufacture throughout the island, and unabated activity prevailed on the plantations. As tb.e sea son advanced the yield of the cane was found pro gressively to improve, and things in general bore a more encouraging aspect than for some time pre vious. Many estates would, it was anticipated, double the quantity made last, year, and the quality of the sugar produced was unexceptionable. It was considered pretty certain that the total crop of the colony would exceed that of last year by at least one half. The, cocoa trade continued brisk, and pr.,- Iduc - en were obtaining oil tl,w spot 50s. to 52a. per cwt. About 6461 b. of nutmegs, of a superior qua- SHIPPING NEWS.

They went on board and got a further supply of provisions and returning to the boat they made for Berbice, which after some difficulty they succeeded in reaching. They were unable to save anything, and were in a destitute .condition when they landed at New Amsterdam." THE PACIFIC. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 17. By tha Orinoco steamer, which arrived this morn ing from the West Indies, we are in posession of files of Panama papers to the . 23d ult. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer New Gra nada, from Callao, April 12, arrived at. Panama on the 21st, with 63 passengers, and 261,984 dollars in specie, for England. Dates from Chili are to March 31. The trial of the political prisoners iu Santiago was not over. On'the 30th-the Fiscal demanded that sentence of death be passed on Garfias, Larrain, and Merino. The public were still kept in the dark relative to this affair, and it was not generally believed that any public conspiracy existed. Her Britannic Majesty's frigate President sailed on the 28th for England, via Rio Janeiro, for which place she took 300,000 dollars in specie. During the fortnight ending March 31 the mar ket had been animated, sales having been made for the Northern and Southern markets, and for Boli via, bnt the scarcity of specie still affected the mar ket. In cottons English gray shirtings and Ameri can goods were scarce, woollens dull, linens in de mand. Silks—stocks full and prices steady. Metals —Swedish steel scarce, and In demand ; English iron, full stocks ; tin plates, no stocks in first hands. Liquors, stock regular and sales moderate. Coals offered at $ll afloat, but no sales.

Stephen., from San Fran cisco, April 6, arrived at Panama on the 19th, but her news has been anticipated via New York. THE MEETING OP THE FRIENDS OF POLAND. (From the Daily News.) The annual meeting of the friends of Poland took place on Saturday. There was a respectable muster of noble names. The Marquis Townthend was in the chair ; Lord Harrington, Lord Kin naird, Lord Raynham, and Mr. Fox Strangways, came forward with the expression of most noble and generous sentiments. But there was little room for congratulation, and what was uttered in the way of encouragement and hope was, we regret to say, of a very shadowy nature. A great European war has just taken place ; it has called forth the energies, has taken a large pull out" of the pockets of the English people, and has been brought to what is called a satisfactory close. The belligerents in that war were Russia on the one aide, France and England on the other. And yet the latter Powers, neither by effort in war nor by voice in council, evinced even a consciousness that there was or had been such a country as Poland. _ _ _ _ _ The cause of this flagrant dereliction lay no doubt in the belief, which seemed to actuate the Cabinets of England and of France, that their countries, however first-rate, were unable to contend effectu ally with Russia, unless Austria at least, if not Prussia also, "should lend their aid. And as Austria is one of the arch-robbers, who not only partitioned Poland in the last century, but who swallowed up Cracow in this, against the express stipulations of treaties, the word Poland could not be mentioned without instant offence and alarm to Austrian ears. The noble marquis who presided at the meeting of the Polish Association, as well as Mr. Fox Strangways, seemed to consider the rescue of the Moldo•Wallacbians from Russia, and the prcF.ont inquiry going on with respect to their future con dition and establishment, as circumstances favour able to the Polish cause. And no doubt they were right in declaring the affinity that exists between all the oppressed races of the East of Europe, of which oue cannot assert or develop “Ft nationality without aiding and encouraging the other. But, with respect to Moldo-Wallachia, we regret that we, cannot share in the generous hopes of Mr. Fox Strangways. For the truth is, that the Bri tish Government have now adopted towards the Principalities the same policy w hi c h l c d to their neutralisation while the war lasted. These Princi palities could have furnished a gallant and efficient army during the war, as the Poles could have done, if allowed to organise from the first. But no ; Austria must not be of or offended. And so the lVfoldo-Wallachs were kept disarmed throughout the war, In ae manner the Moldo.Wallach% are THE PRICE OF PICTURES.
