" the intelligent and educated classes of the popu-
" lotion, and disaffection prevailed only among the
" lowest class, who had been debased by longyears
"of misrule." The able speeches of Lord
Panissuros and Mr. ClLarerons, while super-
fluous as replies to the charges against the Italian
Government, will do good service abroad, and be
welcomed with peculiar interest by the Italians
themselves as a spirited and eloquent expression of
the feeling of the English people and the policy of
the English Government. A debate which drew
from the leader of the Opposition such a studiously
unfriendly criticism of the Italian Government and
such a disguised but determined expression of hos-
tility to the Italian cause, and from the Ctraucxte
LOH of the EXcHEQVER such a pungent and incisive
exposure of both, is a decisive gain for Italy.

The Queen, accompanied by thic Prince and
Princess Louis of Heise and Priam Alfred, whited the Royal
Victoria Hospital, at Netley, on Friday afternoon.
Her Majesty arrived at the lauding place in the royal
yacht Fairy, Captain Prince Leiniogen, at 4 o'clock, and
was received by Colonel Wilbraham, governor and com-
mandant, Dr. Anderson, inspector-general, and the prio-
cipal medical officers of the establishment, and also by
Major Reveohill, Royal Engineers, under whose auperio-
tendeoce the building was erected.
Her Majesty proceeded at once to the principal building,
and eszefully inspected the whole establishment in every
part, visiting a great many of the wards, and speaking a few
words of sympathy to several of the moat suffering patients.
This establishment has always been an object of great
interest to her Majesty and the deeply-lamented Prime
Consort. Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal High-
Bess, laid the first stone of the building in 1856, and the
?Hes visited it annually during its programa.
He:Majesty, before her departure. expressed herself highly
satisfied with the arrangements of the whole establishment.
In attendance upon her Majesty and the Royal Family
were the Dowager Countess of Mount Edrcumbe, Lady in
Waiting; Baroness Von Schenk, Lady in Waiting to Princess
Louie of Hesse ; Lord Charles Fitskoy, Equerry is Wait-
ing; Captain Von Weeterweller, in waiting upon Prince

St. Petersburg, April 19, 1863.
The Marquis Pepoli has delivered to me, by order of his
'government, • copy of • despatch from M. le Vicomte
Vitoria, which your excellency will 6nd subjoined. The
Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs there expresses syn.'
pithy in the reforms undertaken by our august master, and
a desire to maintain with us relations of confidence andamity.
But the interest which public opinion in Italy takes in the
present troubles of the kingdom of Poland, and the convic-
tion of the effect which these events may have on
the tranquillity of Europe, lead him at the same time to
exprese the wish that his Majesty the Emperor may is his
wisdom adopt a system calculated to remove the causes of
these perialienl crises. Our august master has received
with phloem, the friendly expressions contained in the
despatch of M. le Vicomte Veneta. They are in harmony
with the friendly sentiments of which Russia bar given to
Italy solid meek. As for the wish expressed with regard to
the kingdom of Poland, the Italian government has enough
experience of political troubles to be aware that revolt'.
Mon imposes on governments charged with the
foundation of a durable peso, • task of so much
the greater difficulty because it is constantly
strengthened from without by forces which are employed
for the overturning of order. M. le Vicomte Vittoria
will certainly admit that the trasquillity and welfare
of Poland have no less claims to the solicitude of his
Majesty the Emperor and of Russia than to the
interest of Europe. But the respect wh eh the Minister of
Foreign Affairs in Italy professes for the principles on which
the kingdom of Italy nista, and for the sentiments of public
opinion of which it is the organ, will not pe emit us to doubt
'that he also recognises that in the task reserved
to our august master, his Majesty must be inspired by the
interests and principles on which the Russian empire and
public opinion in Russia are founded. For the rest, the
manifesto of the 31st March has sufficiently made known
the wishes of his Majesty towards his Polish subjects
No render it neulless to renew the pledges which they offer
for the welfare of the kingdom and the peace of Europe.

" We have consulted competent lawyers, who advise us

cretioo to exercise, it might in a case relating to academical
discipline (and it is added by another legal authority partly
on the groaod of the long forbearance in instituting this
snit), refuse the mandamus, and that this would most pro-
bably be the course which the court would take. They
stated that they could not guarantee the success of the
application. Without a moral certainty that the mandamus
would be issued, we thought it unbecoming to make the

THE POLISH QUESTION.

VIENNA, ILtY 7.

Intelligence has been received here that the go-
verunient of Holland has followed in the course
taken by the three Powers upon the Polish question.
This is the more worthy of remark, as in 1831
Holland declined to associate herself with diplo-
matic intervention in Poland. The policy of
Holland is strictly conservative. She has herself
suffered by revolution, which coat her half her
territory. She abstains from political partisan-
ship, and her king is the son of a Russian Grand
Duchess. The adhesion of this government to the
Western powers must be regarded rather as an act
of warning than of hostility towards Russia.

"Ormox or THE QUM?, ADYOCA?C AID J. D.
Counuoox, Fog., Q.C.

" We are of opinion that the °Dune taken by the assessor
in this trial was iooorrect, and cannot be justified. It may
well be that in former times the Vice-Chancellor, either
alone or mojoietly with other university authorities,
may have acted personally in the correction of the
doctrine and manners of the members of the university and
with a degree of discretion and freedom from legal rules
such as is suggested in the judgment of the assessor. Bat
when that authority, whatever it may have been originally,
came to be vested in and to be exercised by a court and by a
judicial officer such as the assessor (and this is the case
with which we have to deal), we think that, even if such
court or judge could have refused leave to issue a citation
originally, the court could not refuse to entertain a suit pro-
perly commenced, and over which there existed jurisdiction,
on any such ground es the general inexpedienc► of the par-
ticular judge having to deal with it. The assessor's course
appears to us ao inconsistent course, and ad to he justified
by any legal precedent of which we are aware.
" We think, further, that io accordance with well-known
authorities on the subject of visitational jurisdiction, as
well as the well-established practice in regard to inferior
courts, the Court of Queen's Beech might by mandamus
compel the assessor to bear a cause properly commenced
before hint by parties baring an interest iu the matter, arid
in respect of which he had jurisdiction.
" But the Court of Queen'■ Bench itself has a discretion
in regard to the Mullen of the writ of mandamus. This
discretion must, it is true, be regulated, and no doubt would
be regulated, by legal principles. But in this ram the court
would certainly be very reluctant to interfere, and it is
most probable, in our opinion, that, treating the matter as
one of academical discipline, they would leave the parties
to the suit to their remedy in that course of appeal pointed
out by the university statutes.

RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 4.

Since the reception of the notes of the three power.
upou the Polish question, uncertainty appears to
'prevail in financial circles in this capital. The preva-
lent feeling of insecurity has not been in any degree
diminished by the numerous addressee of devotion
to the crown, the armaments, and, finally, the
contents of the replies to the notes of the
Western Powers published by the official press.
Discount has risen to 6} per cent. A
decline has also taken place in the price
of stocks, and our financial condition, re-
cently affording hope of improvement, has begun
to droop under these unfavourable tokens of ap-
proaching storm. Notwithstanding the last loan,
undertaken to raise the value of the rouble and with-
draw a portion of the paper money from circulation,
the government is known to have issued fresh
series of credit notes to the amount of 12,000,000
roubles.

The produce of the gold mines in Siberia has so
sensibly diminished since 1848 as to attract serious
attention to the subject, the result of which has
been the adoption of measures thought caloulated
to effect considerable improvement.
Upon the whole, the present financial condition
of Russia is less favourable than before the Crimean
war. At that time, according to the Bank returns
of the 28th of last month, we had not quite 666
million roubles in paper. The emancipation
of the serfs had not been commenced, the country
was not exhausted by the strain of war in the
East, and the western portion of the empire had not
been subjected to the enormous sacrifices imposed
upon it by the Polish insurrection and
the discontent now threatening in the provinces of
which it is composed. The outbreak of
war by land or by see would be a terrible
blow for Russia in her present condition.
Of what avail is the inexhaustible nature
of the resources of a mighty empire, when these
still remain unexplored. The gold mines of Siberia,
the anthracite beds, awl the yield of grain are of
themselves insufficient to meet the incessant call for
money. A few years back the national credit
was at so low an ebb that it was found impossible
to negotiate a loan. The excise system, the sub-
stitute for the monopoly of brandy which has
hitherto yielded half the revenue of the country, has
still to prove its efficacy, and no favourable turn has
yet occurred in the annual deficit of the budget. It is
hardly probable, contrary to the generally received
opinion here, that taking into consideration
the position of Russiau credit and finance,
Priuce Gortcbakoff has thought himself justi-
fied in taking up a very determined position.
There vin be little doubt that his replies to
the notes of the Western Powers are intended
to throw out an indirect offer of further
negotiations. As bearing upon this question,
it may not be uninteresting to add that
the official report of the Bank discount reserve
shows a diminution of 13,349,066 silver roubles 35
kopecks upon the 28th April of the present year as
compared with the 13th May of 1862.
At the May inspection of the troops, held the
day before yesterday by the Emperor upon the
Champ de Mars, 28 battalions infantry, 38} squad-
, rons of cavalry, and 13 batteries of artillery, were upon
the ground. Regiments of the guard, greuadiers, and
line were more complete upon the present occasion
than hitherto, the furlough men having been called
in, and numbers of recruits added to the regimental
strength. Great activity prevails in Croustadt,
and the staff of officials in the employ of the war
idepartmeut has been increased.
