CASE OF WATT AND PARK.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to a
question from Mr. Kinglake, said :
We have received information two days ago that, in
consequence of the representations of Mr. Lyons, the King

of Naples had given orders that Watt should be home_
diately released without conditions; and he has been re-
leased, and, I believe, is now on his way to this country.
( Hear, hear.) Orders have also been given that the trial
of Park should commence immediately. Perhaps the

house will allow me to say that this morning we received
a despatch, dated the 16th of March, frmu Mr. Lyons, from
which it appeared that he had repaired to Salerno, and that
the trial of Park had commenced. ' Mr. Lyons spoke to
Park in the court, and he says that the proceedings were
going on with great decorum and propriety, and with, he
thought, a spirit of impartiality ; that the arguments of the
counsel for Park were listened to with great attention, and
the reply of the Attorney-General on a point of law was
argumentative without any passion. After the proceedings
terminated Mr. Lyons had un opportunity of being alone
with Park for a considerable time. Park is well lodge,i in
a room looking upon the sea. He is well clothed and well
cared for in every respect. He is, to use his own expres-
sion, " in good heart," and animated by the feeling that he
is not forgotten by his country. (Hear, hear.) The
instructions given to Mr. Lyons were that he should not
leave Park while in this position. Mr. Lyons is sanguine
that the result of the trial will be favourable to Park—a
feeling. I am glad to say, which our unfortunate country-
man fully shares. ( Hear, hear.) The papers connected
with the affair wi!l be laid before Parliament as soon as
possible ; but, being very voluminous, their preparation
requires time.

INDIA GOVERNMENT BILL.-ADJOURN3IENT FOR EASTET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER begged to
give notice that on Friday next he should ask leave to
introduce a bill to transfer the Government of India
to her Majesty, and in case the debate on the bill
should be concluded that evening he should then be
prepared to move, if agreeable to the house, that the
house should adjourn till Monday the UM: of April.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-THITRSDAY.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to
Mr. Griffith upon the supposed illegality of the cap-
ture of the Cagliari, said that the absolute questions
put to the Government had become so numerous
that they had come to the determination to avoid as
much as possible answering hypothetical questions,
and therefore he was unable to respond to this
inquiry. He added (in reply to Lord J. Russell),
that the answer of the law officers of the Crown upon
the point had not yet been received.

moral considerations. We shall not stoop to
notice these calumnies in any more particular
manner, but shall con, ent ourselves with say-
ing to our own friends, " Be not influenced by
the false reports which aro put into circula-
tion by needy and desperate men. Judge
us by our own doings. Have patience for a
few days, until our new arrangements are
matured, and then wo shall confidently expect
that your verdict will be—that Tun PRESS of
1838 is in nothing inferior to that PRESS of
1833, which in so short a space of time took
its place in the very first rank of the Con-
servative journals."

As to tli mendacious statement that our
position with reference to the Conservative
party had undergone some change, our readers
will find abundant proof, in the pages of the
present number, of the falsehood of all such
assertions.

SUFFERANCE, AND OPEN QUESTIONS.
THESE are two well-known Parliamentary
terms, and have been freely used by the oppo•
nents of the new Government. Lord DERBY'S
Cabinet, say they, is only saved from its ene-
mies tly the first, and from its friends by the
second. It lives and gets along by virtue of
weakness without and disorganisation within.
That is the allegation which has been thrown
against them in the House of Commons, and
is bandied to and fro amidst party journalists
out of doors. Is this true ? Is there any
ground for asserting it? If it were, we would
rather see the principle upon which we take
our stand, and the policy which we advocate,
resting for support upon the party struggling
in Opposition than upon the Ministers sitting
on the Government benches. There is no-
thing we should regret more than to see public
affairs administered by men whose policy was
shaped according to the provisions of their
Parliamentary Whip, and whose measures
commanded no unity of action among the
ranks of their own party.
It is not true. There has not been since
1846, nor could there be devised so long as
the present Parliament exists, any Govern-
ment to whom the description is or would be
less applicable. It is quite true that the
members of the House of Commons who are
known as the absolute and immediate ad•
herents of Lord DERBY, and who form the
organisation known as his Party, do not con-
stitute numerically a majority of the six hun-
dred and fifty-six who sit under the ru'•e of the
Speaker; but neither can it be disputed that
their conduct as a united Opposition during
the existence of the Administration of Lord
ABERDEEN and of Lord PALMERSTON, and their
management of public affairs during the short
time that they have themselves had the Go-
vernment in their hands, has convinced the
large body of politicians who acknowledge

REPORT OF THE CIVIL SERVICE

COMMISSIONERS.
THE report of the proceedings of her Majesty's Civil
Service Commissioners during the past year leas
been issued. In an appendix are printed the exa-
mination papers which have been set during the
year, and the results of all the competitive examina-
tions, showing the amount of marks obtained by each
candidate on each subject. The number of nomi
nations made iu the year 1857 to situations under
the Order in Council was 2,189. In 1836, num-
ber was; 2,4:30 ; and the total number since the
origin of the commission to the end of 1857, is 5,682.
The great mass of the nominations is absorbed by
the five large departments of the Admiralty,
Customs, Inland Revenue, Post office, and War. All
the rest collectively were but 354 in 1856, and 224
in 1837. The numbers in each year show a de-
crease in the Customs, Iniand Revenue, and War
Departments, and a considerable increase in the

allegiance to no particular leader, and who
claim to be free from the trammels of party
organisation, that it is not possible to form
from the elements furnished by Parliament a
Government so capable of maintaining the
dignity and interests of the country abroad,
and of managing the stewardship of her affairs
at home. The Government of Lord DERBY
lives arid moves in virtue partly of organised
party support, and partly by the aid of inde•
pendent men, whom persuasion of its fitness
for the time combines in action to maintain it
in power. This is not existence upon suffer-
ance. A state of sufferance is always patent
enough. It exhibits itself in the anxiety of
the Minister to postpone or shelve session-
ally all disputed questions, and a contemptu-
ous tone upon the part of the House. We see
none of this on either side. The Ministers
show no timidity nor slackness in bringing
forward measures ; they maintain a courteous
but dignified and properly independent bear-
ing towards the House ; and the House in re-
turn has received their communications with
regard to acts dune or policy contemplated
always with respect and generally with appro-
bation. The position of the Government may
be difficult, and the determination of their
course may require great sagacity and care,
and devotion on ►.he part of their pledged ad-
herents, and impartiality of treatment on the
part of politicians at large; but there is
nothing in that position that need make those
who accept it feel that it is unbecoming the
dignity of the advisers of the Crown or incon-
sistent with the beneficent administration of
public affairs. Neither of the Governments
which preceded them were really ever in so
sound a position neither the Government
of Lord ABERDEEN nor the Government of
Lord PALMERSTON. Neither was supported by
a party majority owning undivided allegiance.
The one containing within itself the elements
of destruction lost its majority the moment
its faggot of ill-combined materials was un-
tied ; and the other, less a Government than
an Autocracy, created, like all dictatorships
by a great emergency, was overthrown by a
rising of its subjects, irritated by too despotic
and careless a treatment. The Government
of Lord ABERDEEN was turned out with con-
tempt. That of Lord PALMERSTON was upset
with anger. Neither ever had a Party they
could command or call their own ; and both
only lived by the sufferance of an independent
House of Commons.

The party of Lord DERBY is in a position
now very different from that which they held
in 1852. They were then in the position of
Sir ROBERT PEEL in 1834. They bad opposed
with great energy and great ability the doc-
trines of Free trade, any

THE PRESS, MARCH 27, 1858.

I learn from a good source that the European
Commissioners will not quit the Danubian Principali-
ties before the 13th of April. M. de Talleyrand ie
expected in Paris about the 20th. It is therefore im-
probable that the Conference will open before the
end of April.
Prince August George of Saxony, second son of the
King of Saxony, reached Paris last night at half-
past ten. The Emperor's carriages were in waiting
to receive him at the terminus, and conveyed him to
the Tuileries, where apartments had been prepared
for him. The Prince, it is said, wiil leave Paris for
London on Tuesday noxt. Prince George was born
on the Bth of August, 18.32.
The Emperor continues his promenades, unac-
companied by a squadron of cavalry, nor are the
streets filled with police agents, as has been
so unscrupulously stated by certain writers.
On Saturday last, the Emperor, i❑ an open
carriage, and accompanied only by an aide-de-
camp, visited Vincennes. On Sunday he took
an airing in the Bois de Boulogne, and yester-
day morning he left the Tuileries on foot, traversed
the whole of the Louvre, examined the works going
on in that magnificent building, then continued his
walk by the Rue des Pretres et la Place de l'Ecole
to the Pont Neuf, where he inspected the works
going on for the restoration of the statue of Henry
IV., and then returned to the Tuileries. The Em-
peror was accompanied only by an aide-de-camp.

PUBLIC HEALTH ACT.

Mr. ADDERLEY, in reply to Mr. Repton, said that
he should move that the order for the second reading
of the Public Health Act (1818) Amendment Bill
should be discharged, preparatory to the introduc-
tion of a new bill.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS (scortAxn).
Mr. HENLEY, in reply to Sir A. Agnew whether
her Majesty's Government intended to make any
arrangement for the collection of agricultural statis-
tics in Scotland during the present year, said that the
system which had been pursued in Scotland was a
half-voluntary arrangement, which was raid for out
of the public purse, but at a very moderate charge.
That arrangement having been stopped, it became
difficult to introduce a fresh system, as the parties
who assented to the former system would look with
jealousy and perhaps disfavour at any attempt to
establish a new system. He could only say that he
would continue to give attention to the subject, and
would not lose sight of the matter.

Mr. Cowl.Ea, in moving for leave to bring in a till

existing law, to remedy which he proposed to estab-

the examinations by the licensing bodies as they were
at present, to place them under the control of a
medical council, to be a representative council, which

CRIMINAL STATUTE LAW AMENDMENTS.

Sir F. KELLY, replying to Sir H. Keating, said that
a bill for the consolidation of the criminal law was
in preparation, and would shortly be laid before the
house. This measure, he added, had long engaged
the anxious attention 01' the Government, and he
proposed, after the first reading, to have it referred
to a committee upstairs, in order "to consider the
expediency and practicability of the entire scheme
of consolidation of the statute law, and the more ac-
curate preparation of public measures."

AN INDIAN MEDAL.
Mr. KINNArnn requested an answer to the ques-
tion which he addressed to the Secretary for War
some days ago—whether a medal was to be given to
those engaged in the siege of Delhi as well as those
employed in the,defence and relief of Lucknow?
General PEEL had great pleasure in informing the
house that her Majesty had been graciously pleased
to direct that a medal should be given to all the
troops engaged inithe suppression of the mutiny in
India, with the addition of a clasp to the captors of
Delhi, and another to the defenders and relievers of
Lucknow.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

THE first and second of the " Festival Perform-
ances," in honour of the approaching marriage of the
Princess Royal, were given on Tuesday and Thurs-
day nights last. The four performances are intended
each to represent a department of dramatic
art. Tuesday night ;was devoted to tragedy,
Thursday to English opera. On this night will
be given an Italian opera, and on Tuesday night
next will be given ao English comedy, The Rivals,
we believe. The house bas been beautifully deco-
rated with festoons and flowers, and the tiers of
boxes, trimmed with lace and blue silk, present an
extremely elegant appearance. For the accommoda-
tion of the Royal party, ten boxes were thrown into
one spacious salle, decorated with white satin panels
and opening into the concert-room of the theatre,
which is magnificently fitted up as a banqueting-
ball. The Royal party arrived on each night shortly
after nine o'clock, in seventeen of the royal carriages.
At the c3nclusion of Macbeth on Tuesday the Royal
Anthem was sung, and concluded amidst the
enthusiastic cheers of the audience, her Majesty
the Queen gracefully acknowledging the welcome
reception of her people. The performance of
the Anthem by the Vocal Association of Mr.
Benedict, on Tuesday night, was be-
yond praise. On Thursday night an incident
occurred which redoubled the cheers of the
audience. At the end of the opera, her Majesty,
apparently unaware that the National Anthem
would oe repeated that night, gave the signal for
retiring, and the royal Lox was nearly empty when
the curtain rose again, and the familiar strains of the
national hymn were heard. The Queen instantly
returned to the front of the box, almost unaccompa-
nied. The reappearance of her Majesty acted like
electricity on the house ; bursts of tumultuous cheer-
ing rose from every side, and were acknowledged by
the illustrious lady with graceful and repeated salu-
tations. Mr. Harrison gave the solo verses of the
anthem with energetic expression, vow after vow
being echoed and re-echoed by the audience with
spontaneous enthusiasm. A more magnificent scene
was never witnessed, nor was ever an ebullition of
loyalty more genuine, unanimous, and imposing.
The Royal party then retired, but returned shortly for
the farce, when the impression produced upon the
occupants of the Queen's box, including her Majesty
herself, by the inimitable drollery of Mr. Robson, as
Jacob Earwig, the deaf " boots," baffles description.
The roars of laughter that proceeded from the house,
at each diverting stroke of humour, could hardly
have been more cheering to the actor than the less
vehemently expressed, but not a bit less genial and
unconstrained hilarity of her Majesty and her distin-
guished circle of relatives and friends. The whole
party remained until the curtain fell, and, on rising
to depart, the Queen was once more loudly cheered
by the audience—one of the most brilliant ever
assembled within the walls of Her Majesty's
Theatre.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1858.

THE marriage of the eldest daughter of the
Queen of ENGLAND to the heir of the Prussian
Throne is an event suggestive of more nume-
rous reflections than come within the scope of
the journalist. There are, however, three
aspects under which this auspicious occasion
presents itself, upon which it may not be
inappropriate to offer some remarks. Eschew-
ing the general question of royal alliances, and
the numerous theories which have been pro-
pounded on the subject, we may safely congra-
tulate our fellow-subjects on certain special
considerations which the impending nuptials
are calculated to awaken.
Observing the existing situation of conti-
nental Powers, their past and present relations
to each other, and bearing in mind the pos-
sible contingencies of the future, we shall see
no small cause for rejoicing in a closer con-
nection with the House of Brandenburg.
That there are certain features in the Prussian
system of government with which the people
of this country do not sympathise, it would.
be futile to deny ; but they are such as no
continental kingdom can at the present mo-
ment abolish, without serious danger to the
stability and welfare of Europe. In Prussia.
they are less pronounced than in any of the
more Southern States ; and we may fairly
hope that the infusion of English thought and
increased knowledge of English life which the
approaching marriage cannot fail to accom-
plish will gradually succeed in robbing them.
of all vital evil. In individuals the stronger
character subdues to itself the weaker, and in
nations, though not to the same extent, the
same law of nature is at work.. In the coming
connection between the two countries, we may
expect that Great Britain will exercise a far
greater influence upon Prussia than Prussia.
will exercise on Great Britain.
It cannot, in the next place, be denied that
to strengthen the hands of this country in the
north of Europe is an object of the utmost im-
portance. Upon this topic it would just now
be invidious to dwell. But we may express
our satisfaction that we have now allied our-
selves with a people predisposed to the recep-
tion of English ideas, and already in the de-
partments of literature and philosophy pos-
sessing so much in common with the most
cultivated English minds.
If we turn from the foreign to the more
purely domestic aspect of this engrossing
event, our cause for satisfaction is in some
respects greater still. The time has been
when a royal marriage was the certain provo-
cative of much angry and disloyal agitation.
But had the daughter of Queen VICTORIA a
mother in every British matron, the joy and
sympathy with which her coming nuptials are
regarded could scarcely have been more gene-
ral or intense. It is in the contemplation of
this happy state of public feeling that her Ma-
eaty must reap the best reward of that purity
of purpose and patriotic conception of her

POSTSCRIPT.

Intelligence of the death of the Grand Duke of
Baden reached the Court yesterday. His Royal
Highness had for some time past been in delicate
health.

Immediately the news arrived the Prince William
of Baden, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen, left
Buckingham Palace for Carlsruhe.
No blood relationship existing between the Royal
families of England and Prussia with that of Baden,
the death of the Grand Duke will not interfere with
the present Court festivities.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE._

A DEMONSTRATION took place at the Princess's en
Tuesday night, when the house was crowded in
every part by a most brilliant audience, and Mr.
Kean was called before the act drop at the end of the
second and third acts, and twice at the conclusion of
the piece. On the last occasion he delivered the
following address :
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is not my custom ever to ad-
dress an audience except on the concluding night of a
season ; but I fear that on the present occasion, were I not
to respond to so remarkable an ebullition of public feeling
as that which you have exhibited towards me this evening,
my silence might be wrongly interpreted. 1 am deeply
sensible of your kindness, and beg you to accept my heart-
felt thanks. Tt would be affectation in me to pretend not
to understand the motives which have intlnenced this par-
ticular excitement, and it is another instance, in addition
to the many I have already received, that when a publics man
acts in a conscientious and upright manner the public will
always afford him their sympathy and support. Throughoot
my life I have coveted the verdict of public opinion, profes—
sionally and socially, and this evening impresses on me a
most gratifying conviction that my wishes are realised.
Mr. Kean's friends assert that in the matter of
the Festival Performances his claims have been unduly
neglected. We have reason to believe that in the
correspondence which took place Mr. Kean displayed
great temper and judgment. The point involved is
one of considerable public interest, and the cor•
respondence ought to be produced in order to show
whether these performances are to be regarded as a
fresh instance of her Majesty's gracious disposition
towards her subjects, or as a mere medium of gain
for a favoured librarian.

AMERICA.

Intelligence up to the 9th inst. states that the
President's message in reply , to the demand of
Congress for information upon Central American
affairs was received on the 9th. The President
states that Commodore Paulding committed a great
error in making the arrest, but thinks he was ac-
tuated by patriotic motives and a desire to promote
the interests and vindicate the honour of his country.
No injury was sustained by Nicaragua, but she
was rather benefited by the act, and she alone
would have the right to complain, though it was
quite certain she would never exercise that right.
A long and warm debate followed the reading of
the message, in which Messrs. Seward, Doolittle,
and Pearce sustained the President's views,
and Messrs. Davis, Crittenden, Brown, Pugh,
Toombs, and Douglas opposed them. The message
was finally referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations.
The news from Kansas and Utah was not of any
great importance.

from Physicians of Euro-
pean reputation attest that, in innumerable cases where other
kinds of Cod Liver Oil had been long an I copiously ado inistered
with little or no benefit, Dr. De Jongh's Oil has produced imme•
diets relief, arrested disease, and restored health.

OPINION OF A. B. GRANVILLE, Esq., N.D., F.H.8..
Author of " The Spas of Germany," " The Spas of England,"
" On Sudden Death," de.
" Dr. Granville has used Dr. deJongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver
Oil extensively in his practice, and has found it not only effica-
cious, but uniform in its qualities. Be believes it to be prefer.
able in many respects to Oils sold without the guarantee of
such an authority as De Jonah. Dn. GRANVILLE HAS POUND
THAT THIS PARTICULAR RIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT
IN A SHORTEZ TIME THAN OTRERS,A.ND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE
THE NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND Ott.s. The Oil
being, moreover, much more palatable, Dr. Granville's patients
have themselves expressed a preference for Dr. de Jongh's
Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil."

ENCE BETWEEN THE DIRECTORS AND THE

The CHAIRMAN reminded the meeting that they
were assembled to continue the debate on the fol-
lowing resolution, proposed by Mr. Crawshay, jun.,
at the special meeting held on the 13th inst., viz.:—

That the transfer of the governing powers of the East
India Company to the Crown is opposed to the rights
and privileges of the East India Company, is fraught with
danger to the constitutional interests of England, is
perilous to the safety of our Indian eropin , and calls for
the resistance of the corporation by all constitutional means.
Before proceeding with the debate, he begged to
state that ha had received from Government an
answer to the communication addressed to them by
the Court of Directors, and he should be happy, with
the approval of the meeting, to submit to them the

The. CLERK read the letter addressed on the part
of the Company to Lord Palmerston, and dated the
31st of December. After acknowledging the receipt
of his lordship's letter, containing an intimation that
it is the intention of Government to propose a
measure to Parliament for the purpose of placing
the Government of India under the direct authority
of the Crown, the writers stated they felt it due to
themselves and the constituent body they represent
to lose no time in offering such observations as sug-
gested themselves on the occasion :
They stated that the court proposed that a searching
inquiry should be instituted into the causes of the mutiny
of the Bengal army, and intimated that they had in-
structed the Government of India to appoint a commission
to make such inquiry. They stated that it would be satis-
factory to them if a similar inquiry were proposed in
Parliament, with power to extend the investigation to an
inquiry respecting the conduct of the Home Government.
They expressed surprise that, withort imputing blame to
the Company, the Government, even hefcre the mutiny was
qudled, and while considerable excitement prevails in India,
should propse the entire supersession of the East India
Company, who were entitled to the credit of haring so

of duty to a man whom she does not love, but the
nobleness of whose character at length penetrates
her heart and touches her with true passion ; and,
finally, the union of the two long.parted lovers when
their characters had been strengthened and chas-
tened by adversity and disappointment. The last
incident but one bears a strong resembiance to the
story of " Emilia Wyndham," but we are unwilling
to believe in plagiarism where there is so much
native ability to account for the coincidence. We
have read " Dauntless " with great pleasure, and
can safely recommend it.

HAVELOCK MONUMENT.

THE committee appointed to receive subscriptions
for the erection of a suitable memorial to the late
General Havelock and his bravo companions in arms
held their first meeting on Wednesday, when it was
decided to invite the co-operation of the municipali-
ties of all the chief provincial towns in carrying out
the object in view.

It is understood that the Government have been
applied to to grant a site in Trafalgar-square for a
statue to be erected corresponding with that of Sir
C. Napier on the west side of the square.
The amount of the subscriptions has been pur-
posely left unlimited, with a view to afford to all
classes the opportunity of doing honour to the
memory of that great man, whose words after the
battle at Bithoor most appropriately bead the adver-
tisement of the committee :-

England shall sweep through the land. Soldiers! in
that moment your labours, your privations, your sufferings,
and your valour will not be forgotten by a grateful country.
You will be acknowledged to be the stay and prop of British
India in the time of her severest trial.
