jealous of the Confederate as of the Union Go-

The proposers of the wild and ignorant scheme
of recognising the Confederacy must of course
be unaware that Georgia has never been tho-
Iroughly incorporated with the Confederacy ; that
Alabama will not act on its behalf except on con-
ditions which can only be agreed to in a time of
iextremity ; that North Carolina hes just made
known her desire for a return to the Union ; end
that Louisiana is spontaneously consulting the
Washington Government about reorganizing the
State as a member of the Union. This is enough;
though there are other facts of the same class
which every member of either House should inform
himself of before he votes on the question of
acknowledging a supposed State which has not yet
passed out of the crudest conditions of rebellion.

Tug Russian Rv'LY.-A statement published
yesterday by a contemporary has been very
generally understood as announcing that the
Russian reply to the proposals of the Western
Powers respecting Poland had reached the Foreign-
office. It will be seen, however, from the state-
ments made by Ministers in both Houses of Parlia-
ment that this is not the case—the notes containing
the six points having been presented only late in
last week.

rough boom at half-past 11 o'clock yesterday morning, from
Windsor Castle. The Prince of Wales rode on horseback,
attended by his Egnerryin• Waiting. The Princess of Wales
honoured Mr. Gibson with a sitting for the bust he is exe-
cuting of her royal highness. The Prince and Princess of
Wales took a drive in an open carriage and four.
I The Prince of Wales gave an evening party and a dance
Let evening at Yaslborough•house to a limited number of

were emeralds sod diamonds. Her royal highoese's head-
dress was composed of a wreath of flowers corresponding
with the trimming of the dress, interspersed with diamond
ornaments.

Tas House of Commons is to be asked to-night
to pronounce • judgment and • wish in
favour of immediately recognising the Confede-
racy. A decision on this question is • grave one,
because it is in fact a decision for or against
war with America ; for or against the perpetua-
tion of Slavery ; for or against the re-opening of
the African Slave trade; for or against constitu-
tional government on the one hand, and • lapse
into arbitrary rule and caste tyranny on the
other.

Despatches were received yesterday ►t the Coloaiel-office
firm the Governor of the West India Islands, the Bahama■,
Brittah Columbia, Vancouver's Island, the Lord High Com-
missioner of the lonian Wanda, and from the Governor of
Heligoland•

Not only does the decision of this night in-
volve these great interests (which again,
in this country, involve paramount duties),
but it is a question of credit or dis-
grace in the conduct of political affairs.
A recognition of the Confederacy nowi being pre-
mature in every light, must fail of its *oda ; it
would accomplish nothing that was expected of it :

VISIT OP HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN AND
THE QUEEN OP PRUSSIA TO Till METRO-
POLIS.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning her Majesty the Queen, accom-
panied by the Queen of Prusaia and bee Royal Highness
the Princess Helena, and attended by General Grey, Gene•
ral Seymour, Lady Augusta Bruce, Yrs. Brace, Count
Roos, Count Schwerin, Countess Schulenbourg, tre., left
Windsor for London. _ . _ .

it could not but occasion the gravest troubles to
ourselves ; and thus we should have quitted our
high and respected position of non-intervention, to
exchange our dignity and our reputation for states-
manship for a share in the sufferings and discredit
of the war. Nothing but the prodigious misappre-
hension of the realcase of the American war,caused
by the long course of Southern teaching which our
upper classes have unsuspectingly received from
American travellers, and successive legations, and
the planting interest, could have rendered possible
any such untimely debate about recognising such •
Government as that of the Confederacy. The more
clearly the prominent points of the case are set
down, the more astonishing it appears that there
can be any debate on the subject at all at such a
juncture as the present.
Our recognising Mr. Davis's Government will
not stop the war. There is no reason wl., it
should stop the war, while there is every
probability that it would involve us in it. The
Free States have shown in every possible
way their determination to continue the conflict
till the quarrel is so completely settled as to admit
of no revival ; and if European observers cannot
suiderstand this determination, they would be wise
to suppose that there is more in the case than
they see, rather than that a great nation is throw-
ing away its life and property for no reason at all.
However this may be, there is no doubt of the
fact of that determination. The war will go on,
up to its natural eud, whatever aspect any foreign
nation may assume towards the South : and the
English people are subject to greater risks than
any continental nation by any sort of intervention
during the continuance of the struggle. This is so
well understood elsewhere—in Washington, Rich-
mond, St. Petersburg, and Paris—that it would
be a disgrace as well as a misfortune if our House
of Commons were shown to be the one place where
the conditions of the case were not apprehended.
To vote on the perverse side to-night is to
thrust our merchant-class into ruin ; it is to ask
for war-taxes ; it is to expose our cotton-supply
from all other sources to be burnt or sunk at sea,
while getting no more from America than will be
got by waiting—be it much or little.
Bnt what are we to recognise t This is a point
altogether obscure on this morning of the day on
which recognition is to be discussed. It is surely
necessary to understand first what the political
power is which we are to acknowledge--where
it lives—whether it has means of living, whether
it has an abode, and a character, and • function,
and union at home, and recognition within its own
bounds. The Confederacy has none of these re-
quisites. It cannot itself say from day to day what
territory it has. By the latest accounts Mr. Davis's
Government could claim possession of only three
entire States. Whatever raids the Southern troops
make on occasion, they do it at the instigation of
hunger and other want ; and they hold no ground,
while their antagonists are perpetually gaining
upon them, and leaving them no leisure and no
means to determine and describe their territory
for their own satisfaction or that of their friends.
It is a more serious fact than even this fluctuation
and diminution of the Southern area, that the poli-
tical area also is uncertain to the last degree, and

On arriving at the Windsor terminus of the South Western
Railway from the Castle, her Majesty, her illustrious gnat,
and Princess Heleoa proceeded through the royal entrance
to the platform, by the side of which the royal train, con-
silting of the Queen's and Prince of Wales's state saloons,
three first-tlass carriages, and two breaks, end to which was
attached a powerful eigine, was drawn up. Here they were
received by Mr. Archibald Scott, the trafik manager of the
Loodon and South Western Railway, who accompanied the
train to town, and Mr. Hill, the station master—the platform
in front of the royal train being kept strictly private. Her
Majesty, who was dressed in deep mourning, looked in good
health. The Queen of Prussia was also attired in
mourning, but Pri.ooollll Helms wore only half-mourning.
The royal punnets tied suites having taken their
seats in the saloons the train was started at 9.55 a.m. pre-
civilly, travelling along the Windsor Rue to the private
station at Nine Elms„Vanchall, where the royal party
arrived in about 40 minutes after their departure from
Windsor, and proceeded en route for South Kensington.
Her Majesty is expected to return to Windsor to-day.

'BESS, irIIESDA.Y EVENING, JUNE 30, 1863.

THE HERBERT MEKORIAL.
The usual attractions whiolttbe city of Salisbury
offers in commemoration of her Majsstq's coronation were
yesterday considerably enhanced by the appointment of
that day for the uncovering of the statue of Lord Herbert,
which has been erected io the Market-place, and by the
announcement that the Prime Minister would on this
occasion make his first public visit to the city to officiate at
a ceremony in honour of his late friend and colleague. The
attack of gout, which has kept Lord Palmerston for the
last few days from his duties in parliament, was comequently up to the last moment before the event the
subject of anxious conversation amongst the good chimes of
Salisbury tad the numerous visitors from the neighbouring
towas and villages, sad great was the disappoiotment whoa
at length the doubts which -had previously agitated the
general public no lees than the corporation, who had pre-
pared an address of welcome to the noble viscount, gave
place to the certainty of his absence, wily known upon the
arrival at the appointed hour of Earl de Grey and Ripon

as his delegate.
The market place was thronged with spectator, and a
space round the statue, which was resealed for distinguished
visitors, was occupied by the Bishop of Salisbury and Kra Ha-
milton, Sir E. and Lady Hulse, the Marquis sod Marchioness
of Bath, the Earl of Ailesbury, Lord MewlMem, Lord L.
Bruce, M. P., Lord Dunmore', Lord de Vesci, Lord
Nelson, Baton Maroohetti, Sir F. Bathurst, the
Hoe. Evelyn Ashley, Colonel Bathurst, Lieuteoant-
General Bulkeley, Mr. Antrobns, M.P., Mr. A. L
Goddard, M.P., Lord H. Thy one, hLP., Mr. Marsh,
M.P., Lieutenaat-General Buckley, H. Fawcett.
Archdeacon Harris, Archdeacon Honey, and other friends
of the late Lord Herbert, and persons of influence in the
county. The ground was kept by the first battalion of
Wilts Volunteers, and a portion of the Wilts Yeomanry
Cavalry (Prince of Wales's Own), is which Lord Herbert
formerly held • oommisaion. The statue is the result of a
subscription entered into with the double object of placing
this memorial in the city, and of establishing a convalescent
home for soldiers somewhere upon the sea coast.
The statue, which is of brooze, is from the design of
Barre Marceletti, and represents his lordship, when
Mr. Herbert, in the act of addressing the House of Commons
and holding in his right hand the plan of the Herbert Hos-
pital. The pedestal, which is ten feet high, is of polished
Penrhyn granite, and bears the simple inscription, " Sidney
Herbert." The height of the figure is nine fest.
Immediately upon the arrival of Earl de Grey he was
'voluted by the memorial committee to the council cham-
ber, and introduced to the mayor (Mr. John Style), who ex-
pressed to his lordship the regret which the corporation
felt at the cause of the Premier's absence, and their great
satisfaction that the noble viscount was represented, on that
ocaunon, by a nobleman who occupied the same position in
the cabinet as that which was filled by Lord Herbert. In
reply—
Earl DI Gan said, I must in the first place expels tore,
on behalf of Lord Palmerston, his extreme regret that he is
prevented from being punt among you to-day. The
attack of goat from which he is DOW suffering, though
slight, is still of a nature which renders it physically
impossible for him to be here, nor would it be
right for him to risk anything that might pro-
les& even for • day, unnecessarily, his absence
from the Hones of Commons, where hie duties peremptorily
call him at this period of the session. But I can assure you
that it is a very deep source of disappointment to Lord
Palmerston not to be able to be here today. He had looked
forward to coming that he might have the pleasure of visit.
ins this snakes sad beautiful city, and also that he might
have afforded to him the opportunity of giving expression
to the feelings of regard and respect which he entertains for
his late colleague. (Hear, hear.) When it was proposed to
me that I should take the noble viscount's place, although I
felt how feeble a substitute I should be, I nevertheless felt
it my duty not to hesitate to accept the call, sod it is a se-
tidaction, mingled no doubt with melancholy and manful
reodlections, that I should be called upon to-day to take
part, in • ceremony intended to do how= to the chief, under
whom it was my honour to serve, and for whose kindness,
confidence, and courtesy, I entertain the warmest regard.
The noble earl then left the council chamber, accompanied
by the mayor and corporation and the memorial committee,
and proceeded to • dais erected by the side of the statue.
He weathers addressed by Mr. Hinxmau, who expressed re-
gret that Mr. Sotheme-Fetosurt, the chairman of the memo-
rial committee, was prevented by illness Iron being present,
and described the proceedings of the committee since the re-
&dation passed in December, 1861, to erect the memorial.
Farl or 01111 r thin delivered an address, in which he said
of theists' Lord Herbert : I watched him day by day. I had
the good fortune to be associated as a subordinate in
these great works, and I know the spirit in which he la-
boured, and the means by which he accomplished the
objects he fulfilled. ID the first place he was thoroughly in
earnest; he believed in the principles that he applied ; and
yet with all his earnestness there was nothing of narrowness
inlis spirit or of hastiness in his mind. In the midst of all
the duties of his office, with long nights in the House of
Commons and long days in Pall-mall, I never sass the
slightest indication of narrowness of spirit. and never Maid
from him a harsh word. (Hear, hear.) He had the sin-
gular power of attracting men to him, a singular facility of
making others work as well as himself, and he did that not
by driving them, but by careful considertion, by constant
aid, by infusing into them as it were a portion of his
own earnest spirit, and by placing the frankest and most
unstinted confidence whei e he believed that confidence was
deserved. Thus labouring it was that he accomplished the
work to which he devoted his life, and well has he deserved
to be co nmemorated by a grateful country. (Cheer.)
Such a man we knew him in public and in private life, a
thorough English statesman, a philanthropist in the beat
reining of the word ; not hasty, crotchetty, or rash, but
cautions, practical, and calm ; Dever hesitating, and never
resting in pursuit of the great objects he had
constantly in view, he devoted his life to the
service of his sovereign _ and his country, until at
length in that service he laid itdowe. ((leers.) You have
done well, then, to erect to his memory this tithing monu-
ment—not that it is needed to keep alive among us who
knew him the recollection of the friend we have lost, but
that it may remind others who corns after us, and who
knew him not, of the spirit in which he laboured, and of
the works he sooomplkW. (Cheers.) And as men here-
, after cross this market-place, and ask " Whose is that
statue, and what did he do!" and are told the history of his
noble life, they may be fired to good deeds by his great example
when they learn how it was that so large& share of theadm re-
tiom the respect, and the love of his cootemporarimattended
upon the honoured name of Sidney Herbert. (Loud cheers.)
It now only remains for me to hand over to your mayor
and corporation this memorial. Mr. Mayor, you will re-
ceive this memorial from the hands of the committee by
whom lam charged to entrust it to the keeping of the cos.
poration of this ancient city. Many and beautiful are the
monuments which adorn your town, but I am confident
there are none of them which you will cherish with more
love or with more respect than this statue of your departed
friend and countryman. (Loud cheers.)
The covering was then removed from the stAue amidst
deafening cheers.
A defamer afterwards took place in the council chambv,
at which the Mayor presided.

Matinee ELECTION.—We learn by electric tele-
graph that the dose of the poll yesterday showed the
number of votes for Mr. Cargill (conservative) was xa,
while those for Mr. Mitchell (liberal) numbered 310. The

mentary investigation into the circumstances attending the
