Administrative Worm Amoolatioe or other.
Lord PALMERSTON gravely told the House tiff
Commons on Friday evening that in forming his
Government he looked, "in the first place, for men
who, by their former conduct, have shown them-
selves capable of discharging political duty." It is
passing strange that, if this was the case, Sir
CHARLES WOOD should have been one of Lord
Psuamurrotes earliest appointments. The Right
lion. Baronet had given proofs of his political imago-
oily as Chancellor of the Exchequer and President
of the Board of Control, and in half-a.dosen subordi-
nate aloes besides. The only conceivable reason for
placing Sir CHARLES WOOD at the head of the Admi-
ralty is, that he had not previoosly been tried in
that department, whereas is almost every other
be had been tried and failed. Again, what pe-
culiar aptitude had Sir Oxosoz Coaszweta.
Lewis ever shown for the dbeharge of the duties
which devolve upon a Chancellor of the Exchequer P
That Right Honourable Bereast had been tried at

W been tried es Editor of the faded EdifeinepA
110eitne, and bed made that publication a little mese
din and feeble than it had become before it fell into
hie bands. He was known to be a voluminous en-
poem& of the unintelligible dogmas of the " ben&
heilemed" church ; but he had shown himself'
capable of discharging financial duties. Of hie mea-
t:jai aptitude" as a financier, the public at large bed no
data for forming a judgment; but Lord Palatine:oe,
who has long been associated with him in office, most
have had some. And it must now be apparent
to all, SS it most have been to the PREMIER Wen,
that whatever may be Sir 0. C. Lewitt's talents in
other respects, finance is not his line. It is pitiable
in the extreme to use the lecke*, CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER coming forward night after night in the
House of Commons, and giving up one item of hie
budget after another, to the first assailant, pleading
in excess for his poltroonery that some one had meg-
gamed it to him, and that for his part he attaches no
importance to it. It would be easy to select other
illustrative specimens from the members of the draw-
ing-room oligarchy by whom Lord Peutemtrox
has earteuaded hiamelf ; but these two will serve as
the " representative men" of their class. They have
more the appearance of having been chases
although they had not previously "shown them-
selves capable of discharging political duty," then
because they had shown themselves capable.
It is in vain for Lord PALMERSTON, under such eir.
cumatanoes, to affirm that the prime recommendation
of theme men was their approved "official aptitude."
lie most have proceeded upon some other principle
of solstitial.

The name's next consideration in the choice el
his amociates, he went on to tell the House of Conn
mons, was that they should "have no private en-
gagements to interfere with their aeceptatice of what
may turn out to be temporary political offioe." By
iosisting upon this he sought to meet the demands el
those who call for an infusion of new blood into the
administrative councils of the state. Lord PALMS&
ATOM endeavoured to represent these demands se
restricted to " men who are intimate with
commerce and business transactions." This is a
misrepresentation to begin with. The peculiar
departmental failures of Government which are for
the present attracting most attention are those which
might obviously be remedied by the employment
et mew inniliar with mercantile transactions—and
their eligibility huin consequence been more emplme.
*ally urged; but what the country wants is that
the career of office shall be thrown open to the w-
izard* talent of the middle classes. Mercantile
nen could improve our transport and COMMMOIBIOB
departments, but other professional pursuits of the
aid& dupes are calculated to develop administra-
tive abilities that would be useful in other branches
st lbs state service. Again, Lord Faxsasron in-
itiated that men largely and successfully engaged
be business could not be prevailed upon to
.swish their lucrative pursuits. Of coarse
h sass who °moot or will not give himself up
to politics as a profession is not fit for office. A man
who will continue to be a merchant and nothing she
is not fit to be a statesman. But there are many'
among the middle chums who, if they could sae a
chance of obtaining fair play in the profession et
politico, both could and would relinquish their °thee
parasite to adopt it. It is no uncommon thing to me
a large and lucrative manufacturing or mercantile
concern bequeathed to several brothers, who arty
it on in partnership. One of them ma generally be
spared from close attention to the business; fre-
quently the burden of management devolves upon use,
the others remaining ur it - were sleeping partners.
Bach men can afford to devote themselves to the
choreal of an official career quite as well as any
cadet or toady of the aristocracy ; and in not
a iew, instance' they possess both the taste
mid libel for it. Bat each men will not embrace a

Stnori's appeal to tlao Court it Cessation wu
heard today. It k the custom of this supreme court
to appoint every week two counsel, whose duty it is
officially to support the appeals of criminals con-
demned to-death. On thli occasion the president of
the court requested M. Delaborde, the leader of the
r Damnation bar, to defend the prisoner, twisted by the
two other advocates. M. Delaborde took three ob.
jectious to the sentence. First, that the case had
been brooght to trial with greater rapidity than del
law allowed; second, that Pianori being a foreigue,
evidently—and as he himself repeatedly stated—im-
perfectly acquainted with the French language, an
interpreter ought to have been assigned to
him ; and, third, that the telegraphic despatches
from Italy imputing to him previous crimes
were not communicated to him before the trial,

were not evidence, and being calculated to create a
prejudice in the minds of the jury ought not to
have been read. The court overruled all the objec-
tions, holding that the want of an in.erpreter is
no ground for quashing a judgment when neither
the prisoner nor his counsel applied for one, and
that the objection to the reading of the telegraphic
despatches should have been made at the trial.
The sentence, therefore, stands con& med.
I understand that a man named Gehringer, who
kept a public-house in London which Pianori fre-
quented, has been oonfronted with him at the pre-
fecture of police. I have not learned whether any
revelations have been obtained.

The general opinion is that the Emperor will not
think fit to grant a pardon, and that the execution
will take place on Monday.
I believe it has been decided to convoke the Corps
Ler:slabsf for a special session at the sad of Jane, to
vote men and money.
The Bourse, although at times manifesting a good
deal of buoyancy, gave way under the influence of
reports that Austria had declared her intention to
remain neutral. The Rents felllsc., closing at 68.20.
Bank of France (losing nearly all the ground it gained
yesterday) fell 20fr. The Lyons Railways fell 6.25 and
sfr., Rouen 5, and other lines from 1 to 3.

The Coitalfutionnel begins a speculative article on
the war in these words : "The war that we are car-
rying on against Russia is not as yet a great war.
The great war will only commence on the day when,
negotiations being definitively abandoned, we shall
operate in concert with Austria. Theo our onslaught
upon Russia will not be restricted to the extremities
of her dominions ; it is the centre of her empire, that
is to say her most vulnerable point, that we shall
attack. The battle-field will be transported to
Poland. Not a single town, but the fate of the entire
Russian empire, will be the stake to be played
for." Brave words. But how melancholy it is to find
the French government j•ournale still harping upon
Austria. Smali comfort for Poland if the expectations
held out to her by Napoleon 111. are only to be
realised when Austria becomes a sincere ally. The
French government is not, it is true, responsible for
what the semi-official journals may say. and only
lately it officially repudiated some of their state-
ments. The prophecies of the Conseitationnel with
regard to Austria have been repeatedly belied by
facts within the last six months. Still it is an un-
healthy symptom that the leading Paris journal
should be ohs' inately following an wars fateue.
The Pays says :
We thin/ we ran announce that the revenue of thi. indi-
rect tazeo has increased in a remoras hie winner during the
month of ♦pril. If we are currect iv informed, the receipts
of the la.i mouth will exceed by 9 Mi.liono those of the cor-
responding period of 1854. It is more particularly the
Customs duties and the registratiot due., that Is to say,
those branches of the public rtvel.ne +bleb are mere im
mediately connected with the e iiemercial muvemeet and
tho activity of business, which show the most important in-
crease. It sissy be remembrreo that the result of the fl. et
three month. of the present year bowed an Increase of 14
millions on the ant quarter of 1854. Trim in four months
the receipts of the Treasury h augmented more tams 23
millions, whilst the general maculation was only 20 adillisen
for the year. It is unnecessary to enlarge os the slam"
emery atlas fact in a p oommermal, and industrial
point of view.
The Al. 'andel, steamer, belonging to the Menage-
ries Imperiales, kit Marseilles on the 10th with
troops and stores for Constantinople. The Jeuimapes,
line-of-battle ship, the sailing frigate La Vengeance,
and the steam frigate Montezuma, ett Toulon on the
9th for Constantinople, with troops, ammunition,
provisions, and stores of all kends, for the army
of the Crimea. The steam gun-boa's La Fleche
and L'Alerte were launched at Toulon on the 9th
and 10th.
Dr. M. LEvy, inspector-general of the French hos-
pital service of the army of the Rest, has arrived in
Paris from Constantinople.
A number of the prisoners taken from the Russians
at Bomannnd arrived two days ago at Montpellier,
under the command of an officer of the 6th Regiment
of the line, who is to accompany them to Marseilles.
These men bare been enrolled fur the Polish Legion
in the service of Turkey, almost all of them being
Poles. The soldiers of the garrison of Moatpellier
pee them a very friendly reception.
The following private telegraphic despatch has been
received :
" Frankfort, I lth.—A Russian note is spoken of,
said to be written in the last days of April, and sent
under form of circular to some German courts. In it
Russia announces, it is said, that taking into account
the political views of several German states, and
hoping that their policy will be continued, the govern-
ment of the Czar ✓rill, on its side, whatever may be
the eventuslities of the war, maintain the solution
given in the conferences of Vienna to the first two
points of guarantee."

PARIS. FAIDAT EviNINCI.
The insertion in the Motsitesu. of Gen. Rybincki's
letter to the Emperor seemed to me a fact of
such importance that I thought it right to wend you
an extract from it by telegraph. Unless Poland is to
be once more played with—unless, which I do not
believe, the official recognition of the expectations
which her proscribed sons entertain of assistance
from Napoleon 111. be nothing more than en experi-
mental menace to re-whet the blunted purpose of
Austria—the signification of the publication must be
the restoration of Poland. This I Sod to be the sense
is which the lifessiteur is interpreted by the public.
But, further, I learn from a private source that, in
answer to the &darns presented to the Emperor by
the Poles in Paris, to ooegntulite hint on his escape
from Pianori's pistol, his MajestMajesty replied in the fol-
lowing oncnisniableterms :—"I am deeply moved by
the sentiments expressed in your satirise. I expected
such a maeffestation from you. Hitherto I have riot
been able to do what I could have wished for year
country; but the march of events now permits me
to hope that I may be useful to you, in continaiag
the work commenced by him whose heir I am," I
am informed that the "cadres" of the Polish Legion
are being fast completed; but there are striking
symptoms that the impending Polish movement is to
be entirely national, and not confined to the Czar-
toryski party, which, however respectable and
patriotic, is bat a party. General Rybincki himself
is a democrat, and a dissident from Prince Cesr-
tolyski's politics, and for that reason he would not
licia in the general address, but wrote to Emperor
the separate letter which has met with such a
favourable reception. M. Aden; Mickiewies, one of
the deputation who went to the Tuileries with the
Polish address, was in 1849 the redoetessr en chef of
the journal lot Trams des Prispies. founded by Count
Branicki, which advocated the insurrection of op.
pressed peoples throughout the world. From Om
moment when the news of Count Wage/ski', appoint-
ment to the Ministry of Fore4n Affairs was know%
the Poles is Paris felt persuaded that the dawn of a
new era had arrived. Walew•ki was a Pole by his
mother's side, and although brought up in Freese he
fought and bled in the Polish oaths in the immthie-
tionary war'of 1831, and was decorated toe his db.
tinguished conduct at the battle of Groshow. It may
not, perhaps, be generally reniernbered,that after this
battle he went to Louden as a diplomatlesavoy
the revolittiocary government. Its then made
the acquaintance of Lord Dedley Stuart, and
has ever since been a member of the Polish

Association. It may not be out of phoebev te eau
C
to mind the unquestioned fact that ount Walseskie
besides being a Pole, is the illegitimate son of the
Great Napoleon, so that his appointment to the
foreign affairs, at moment when the present R.
peror promises to continue the policy of hie wale
with respect to Poland, has a double significanes.
The Bourse, which has supported with woudedel
firmness the final breaking off of the Vienna Coale.
souse, sad the certainty of the continuance of the
war, was affected but in a slight degree by the taw,*
Friday mornineo lifoniteur, the importance of lAA
was, however, tally understood and much sea,.
mated es.
It was moreover ested in some quarters, tutu
Austrian manifesto had been published in the Ca%
respondence Autriehienno in Vienna, tending to
throw the blame of the rupture of the conferee*.
upon the Western Powers, and declaring that Allah
, would remain neutral io the contest. On inquiry i
am assured, on respectable authority, that such Intel.
ligeuoe has been received ; but if that be really the
cue, we must suppose that tel.-graphic despatches
have been suppressed, for the to telligence is said
have come by ordinary post. Areloog the rnmoo
of the day was one that Prince Diapoleou is to bs
made Xing of Poland. I attach very little import,
acne to suggestions of this kind ; but, however kora.
bable the notion may seem just now, it must be es.
membered that the policy of the uncle is still the
policy by which France is guided.
General Prim is the author of the protest to whisk
I referred yesterday as having been made by the
Spanish residents.
