POPE. _ _

Through the still night they march, and hear the roar
Of murmuring billows on the sounding shore.
To Neptune, ruler of the seas profound,
Whose liquid arms the mighty globe surround,
They pour forth vows their embassy to bless,
And calm the rage of stern /Eacides.
And now arrived, where on the sandy bay
The 111yrmidonian tents and vessels lay,
Amused at ease, the godlike man they found,
rleased with the solemn harp's harmonious sound
(The well-wrought harp from conquer'd Thebte came,
Of polished silver was its costly frame).
With this he soothes his angry soul, and sings
Th' immortal deeds of heroes and of kings.

We have just been reading over Pope for the tenth time

faint fault with a few particular words, yet we should be
ashamed of ourselves were we to do so ; fur he is Alexander

THE INSURRECTION IN ITALY.

That an insurrection would break out in Franc*,
Italy, and Spain, early in July, has been a rumour
more or less believed for some time past. From a
semi•o®cial announcement in the Paris Pays, it
appears that the rumour had foundation. The Pays
of Wednesday states :
We stated yesterday, in speaking of the insurrectional
movement in Genoa, Leghorn, and Naples, that it was the
result of a vast conspiracy, the effect of which, had it
succeeded, would have been felt beyond the boundaries of
the Italian peninsula. We are now enabled to say that a
clue to this great plot, which was neither confined to Italy
nor to the person of the (sic) Italian Sovereign, has been
in the hands of the French Government for a fortnight
past. it was at Paris itself that the vast conspiracy, which
has ramifications extending even so far as Spain, was to
have broken out by the consummation of the gravest of
crimes. The French Government, which made the dis-
covery on the eve of the ballot, was silent on the subject
because, out of its loyalty, it desired not to trouble the
elections nor to influence the votes. Now the partial
explosion at Genoa, Leghorn, and Naples gives some idea
of the extent of the conspiracy. Several of the accomplices
of Mazzini have been arrested in France, and the trials
about to take place will enlighten public opinion as to
the enormity of the danger from which Europe has just
escaped,

The insurrection broke out at Leghorn on the
30th of June, and on the same day an attempt was
made at Genoa to seize the forts, The garrison in
both places suppressed the attempts easily, and with
little leig of we, M I,eohero Beretta persons

a low personal kind cast upon the representa-
tive of the Sovereign might be a pernicious
example, and it is felt that personages who
cannot themselveS take part in oral discussions
ought, to be exempted from that freedom which
onttora and public writers may apply to those
who can defend themselves at once. Mr.
Disuaxas allusion le the times in which Lord
MoRPETH hauoural4 distinguished himself is
debate was strictlystified:—
In other times there ay hare been individuals examples
of higher intellectual powers, but there never was a period
when so great a number of eminent men were in the House
of Commons.

From 1835 to 1845 there were sitting in the
House of Commons Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir
ROBERT PEEL, the Earl of DERBY (Lord
Stanley), Viscount PALMERSTON, Viscount
HOWICK, Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, Mr. DISRAELI,
Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. MACAULAY, Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, Sir CHARLES
BULLER, Mr. HUME, Mr. GROTE. Mr. O'CONNELL,
Mr. SHAW, Mr. SHELL, and Mr. COBDEN. It
would be difficult to find a similar catalogue of
eminent names at one time in the House of
Commons, each of whom had special preten-
sions to receiving profound attention ; and
even amongst these great debaters Lord MoR•
METH often oommanded the admiration of his
supporters and the respect of his adversaries.
Nevertheless, we are disposed to concur with
Mr. WHITESiDE that there have been appoint-
ments made in Ireland which could not be
attempted in the face of English opinion. The
fault, however, in these instances was in the
" jobbery of Liberalism," and not in the Vice-
royalty. Abolishing the Lord Lieutenancy
would not improve the Whigs. The subject
concerns the organisation of the Irish Execu-
tive, end cannot be put in the list of " party "
questions. The Lord Lieutenancy is one
thing, Lord CARLISLE'S administration of it is
quite another; and the present is not an occa-
sion when the two subjects should be mixed
together.
We could have wished that Mr. HORSMAN
had thought proper to have explained the
reasons why the Right Honourable Gentleman
has ceased being connected with the Irish
Government.

At the evening sitting, ~:f 101., it
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, chairman ni'l tbs Ilajalteetlehr,
Committee, brought up a speoial report, stating that
letters addressed to Colonel Higgins had been laid
before the committee, containing the information
that certain persons -named therein, in consequence
of their having given evidence before the eommittee,
bad been attacked and one of them seriously injured
by a mob.

Mr. WALpoLE called attention to this report 4 and
suggested that it was right for the house to consider
whether the matter should be left where it wax
without some inquiry.
Mr. .7. D. FITZGERALD said, in consequence of the
production of these letters before the committee, it
had been ascertained by a telegraphic commtnication
that an outrage had been committed ; that two per.
sons had been beaten severely, and that nine persons,
charged as participators in the outrage, were in

way and sank, and some 150 persons were precipi-

and several were severely injured. An inquiry is

LORD PANMURE has acceded to a request made by
the Bristol Town Council for a trophy of the late
Russian war, and has presented the city with two
32-pounder guns. Steps are being taken by the.
municipal authorities for the construction of suitable
carriages fur the guns, and as soon as th ise are pre-
pared they will be mounted on Brandon-hill, an
eminence commanding the city.
A REMARKABLE ESCAPE from death, by falling out
of a railway carriage window during the running of
the train at forty miles an hour, is told this week of
a child. During the transport of the 25th Regiment
from Manchester to Dover on Wednesday, a child
belonging to the wife of one of the soldiers, a fine
boy about seven years of age, was leaning out of the
window of the carriage in which he and his mother
and others were travelling, when by some means he
overbalanced himself and fell out on to the line,
between Betchworth and Reigate, the train at the
time running at full speed, or at the rate of forty
miles an hour. The mother of the boy was with
difficulty restrained from jumping out of the carriage
after him. On the arrival of the train at Reigate
Town men were instantly despatched down the line
in search of the child, who was found lying between
the two lines of rail, comparatively uninjured, the
collar-bone only being fractured. What renders the
escape more remarkable is that the second special
train, conveying the remainder of the troops, which
was following close behind the first ono, passed the
child without doing him any injury. The little
sufferer is now under the care of the regimental sur-
geon at Dover, and will probably soon recover.
London, England, 1857-07-11

THE INDIAN MUTINIES•

LORD Mtrods aptly compared our supremacy in
the East to a man sitting upon a mine. That mine
has now exploded in its worst form—s mutiny of
the Bengal native army; and, as her Majesty's Go-
♦ernment express implicit sonfidenee and approba-
tion in all the acts of the Indian authorities, both
preceding and following the insurrection, it may be
well to see whether the public can justly regard
them with equal satisfaction. Those who are
acquainted with the habits of our Eastern subjects
can have no difficulty in assigning the causes of this
outbreak, and the Indian authorities have been re-
peatedly warned that their course of conduct would
inevitably end in revolt. The origin of the mutiny
can be traced, in the first place, to the practice of
disconnecting military officers from their regimental
duties, and giving them civil employments, for which
they were often unfit. By this means the tie that
should unite officers and men was severed, and.
instead of as officer taking pride in his profession
and being intimately acquainted with his troops, be
has been taught to look upon remaining with
his regiment as a disadvantage and disgrace,
showing that he was supposed by his superiors
to be incapable of filling any more lucrative appoint-
ment, or bad not sufficient interest to procure one.
In the second place, we must notice the conduct of
the Government in destroying the respect of the
native troops for the commanding officers of regi-
ments, through a constant system of intermeddling
with their legitimate functions and authority. The
sepoy was thus taught that he was not to look to his
commanding officer as the source of reward and
punishment; discipline was subverted, and revolt
became a matter of expectation. In addition to
these elements of danger, it has been well known to
Us Government for some time past that there
existed in the mind of the natives a vague; undefined

from every rank, and on they came, like a whirlwind over
the plain, shaking the solid earth, and scattering the turf
like dust behind them. The grandest and most terrible
feature of real warfare was here portrayed with a fidelity
which made the very crowd seem awe-stricken and ap.
palled. Hardly had the dust in the light cavalry track
subsided when the manceuvre was repeated by the dra-
goons, who swept the plain from end to end. As each
charge was made the mounted troops fell back further and
further, until they finally retreated on the flanks of the
infantry, who had deployed into line at the foot of some
steep heights surmounted by the field batteries. Here the
last desperate stand was made. A fierce file fire was
opened, and every one of the thirty guns upon the ground
was taxed to the utmost to keep up the cannonade. Not
till all parts of the common were wrapped in smoke, and
the whole scone as invisible to the Court as to the crowd,
did the volleys cease. With this final etfort the movements
of the day were brought to a close.

The troops then marched past her Majesty and
returned to camp.
Her Majesty and the royal party soon after re-
turned to town.

REINFORCEMENTS FOR INDIA AND CHINA.
- -

Lord PANMURE, in reply to the Earl of Ellen.
borough as to what measures were intended to be
adopted for the purpose of reinforcing the army in
India with European troops, said that the first troops
sent to China were regiments destined for India ;:
hut, as it appeared the warlike operations were
likely to be of some duration, four other regiments
had received orders, and would embark in about five.
weeks for India. They would be detained till that
time, because if sent sooner they would reach India,
at the most unhealthy season. The second week in
June was the earliest date tro ips ought to embark.
If it should appear there was any necessity for the
services of an increased number of Europeans, ROMS
of the regiments they were intended to relieve would
be detained in India for a time.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to know what
number of recruits were going out this season to
join the regiments there?
Lord PANMURE said about 4,000, who would also
embark in June.

press offences is to consist of primary judges;
newspaper articles are to bear the signatures of their
writers.

A letter from Madrid of the 16th mentions that,
after several conferences between M. Lafragua and
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the basis of an
arrangement had been agreed to. When the con-
vention between the two Governments is signed, M.
Lafragua will remain at Madrid as Minister of the
Mexican Republic.
The squadron which has been fitting out for the
last three months at Cadiz, h6s set sail, it is said,
for the West Indies. It is composed of six ships.
They carry 2,450 troops thoroughly equipped. This
force is commanded by Generals Mendimata, San-
tiago, and I'arrido.
THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Odessa in the Siècle states that a
circular has been communicated to the resident
Wallachians, containing the orinciples of the con-
st►tution, which, after its adoption by the Divans,
will be submitted to the approbation of the
foreign commissioners. This circular contains the
following :

Chap. 1., Art. 1. The sovereignty of the Porte is recog-
nised in virtue of treaties contracted with it. Art. t 2. The
government is independent both at home and abroad in
virtue of laws and their guarantees. Art. 3. The union of
the riloldo-Wallachiaa Principalities under an hereditary
prince chosen from a reigning family of Europe. llis
successor must be brought up in the principles of the
Greco•Oriental faith. Art. 4. The form of government will
be representative; the person of the head of the State is
sacred. Ministers alone are responsible. Art. 5. Abro-
gation of all intervention of foreign powers in the home
affairs of the Principalities. Art. 6. All foreigners are
subjected to the laws of the country. Art. 7. The pro.
perty and revenues reserved for foreign churches, will be
administered by the Principalities.—Chap. 11., Art. I.
Wallachians of all ranks and positions are subjected to the
same laws, and contribute equally to the expenditure of
the State. Art 2. All Wallachians may aspire to places
in the Administration, according to their capacity. Art. 3.
Liberty is given to all to express and publish their
opinicns, provided the laws are respected. Art. 4.
The liberty and independence of taxpayers are guaranteed.

All these articles are founded on treaties, the
texts of which are joined to the circular.
M. Lesourd, secretary of the mission of Baron de
Talleyrand in the Principalities, arrived at Constan-
tinople on the 10th, from Jassy, being the bearer, it
was said, of very important despatches on the state
of things in Moldavia.
The Revue Contemporaine asserts that the Porte
has demanded permission to occupy the Pr;nci•
palities, but that the request had been refused by the
allied powers. It is not certain when the elections
will take place.

MISSIONARIES OF BENGAL.

Mr. KINNAIRD moved that the petition of the
missionaries of Bengal (presented in February last)
be printed with the votes; the petition was certainly
long, for it included grievances which were brought
under the notice of Parliament by a number of mission.
aries of all denominations assembled at Calcutta. Ho
had already given notice of his intention to call the
attention of the house to the allegations of the peti-
tion on the 28th inst.

The motion was then agreed to.
The house adjourned at twenty minutes after one
o'clock.

HOUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY.
THE "GLOBE" AND THE MARQUIS OF WESTMEATH.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH rose and said an
article had appeared in the Globe newspaper of the
previous night, in which his name had been dragged
in over and over again in connection with statements
which were in themselves utterly false, and which
he was conscious was altogether libellous :

With respect to the libellous part, the proper authority
would have to deal with that : but, as it was a matter con-
cerning his honour, he wished to take the very earliest
moment to state that he would take the proper opportunity
to make a statement in contradiction of the composition
which had been sent abroad on the part of a lady who had
done him the honour to bear his name, who had left his
house thirtyeight years ago, and who was not yet content
to abide by that separation. The statement of the Globe
had been taken from a pamphlet which had been laid on
the table of all the clubs, with a yiew to vilify his character,

SATURDAY,

At this particular moment it had been put forth in connec-
tion with the bill which was to come before the house that
night; therefore he did not lose one moment in stating
that, when an opportunity would be offered in committee
on the bill, he should give an absolute denial that they
were founded in truth, and would show that they were
characterised by perjury and conspiracy, and eoisid not
occur in any court in this country where evidence was
taken viva voce, but only in the ecclesiastical courts, mid
there and there only could proceedings of this descriptionL
take place. He took the liberty to state that it was his
intention on the. very earliest opportunity to meet that
atrocious libel by the statement to which he had referred.

MR. DISRAELI'S SPEECH

No. 212.—V0L. V.

MR. DISRAELI'S SPEECH.

THs two Conservative members for the county of
Bucks dined on Wednesday, according to ancient
custom, at a farmers' ordinary, with a body of their
constituents, at the Anchor Hotel, Newport Pagnell.

Mr. DISRAELI, in rising to reply to his health,
was received with loud cheers. He said :

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—

I should have been quite satisfied to leave the ac-
knowledgment of our sense of your kindness to us
today to my colleague, Mr. Du Pre—between whom
and myself, since we have both been in the service
of the county, there has always existed entire sym-
pathy, and from whom, whenever the affairs of

Buckinghamshire have been concerned, I have
always received cordial co-operation and assistance—
had I not been afraid that it would appear like
affectation on my part were I to suppose that on this
occasion yon would expect me to remain altogether
silent. It is some time now since I had the honour
of meeting you at Newport Pagnell and in this
room, and the interval that has elapsed has been
eventful even in this country, where events must
necessarily succeed each other rapidly. Last night,
or I may say this morning, for it was nearly two
o'clock when the House of Commons was breaking
up, a very great personage invited me to call upon
him to confer with him on a subject of deep moment,
and I told him that it was not in my power to wait
upon him as I could have wished, because I had to
meet my constituents, with whom I was to have the
honour of dining at. a farmers' ordinary at Newport
Pagnell; upon which that great personage ob•
served—" Good God! what can you say to them ?"
(Laughter.) Gentlemen, this is the solution of the
inquiry of that eminent personage. I have kept my
engagement to meet a body of my constituents, and
lam now about to do that which, in the opinion of
one of the most experienced judges of such matters,
is regarded as, probably, the most difficult task that
could fall to the lot of any man. Now, that great
personage, although he has received all that the
favour of the Sovereign and the confidence of the
people could bestow upon him in his distinguished
career, and although he has also been a county
member, never had the honour of representing the
county of Bucks. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.)
That I believe is the only honour he has never

PORT OF DUBLIN.

Mr. VAxcE moved that the house resolve itself into
a committee in order that he might obtain leave to
bring in a bill to repeal certain duties on ships
entering the port of Dublin, and other imposts affect-
ing its trade and commerce. Although this appeared
to be a matter of local interest, he observed, it was
really one of general concern, and he insisted upon
the absurd, ridiculous, and unfair character of some
of the charges upon ships entering the harbour of
Kingstown.
Mr. LOWE explained the peculiar circumstances of
this case, which, he said, induced the Government
to think it their duty to resist the motion .

The dues referred to by the hon. member amounted to
about 3,000/. a year, the whole of which amount was ap-
propriated to the Consolidated Fund, as interest for the
advances which that fund had made, amounting to
314,0001., for the repair and improvement of Kingstown
harbour. Besides this, the imperial Government paid
yearly to the Ballast Board of Dublin 2,)001. for certain
differential duties. Of this sum the hon. member said
nothing. Contenting himself with seeking to get rid of the
liability to pay interest for money advanced , he made no
offer to give up annual payments made for the benefit of
the city which he represented. He certainly could not
consent to the motion before the house.

Lord PALMERSTON was quite willing to make a com-
promise with the bon. member, and if the bon.
gentleman would undertake to support the Govern•

THE mruru.

Sir J. RAMSDEN, in reply to Major Sibthorp whether
it was the inten►.ion of her Majesty's Government to
call up any of the militia regiments for training this
year, and if so, what regiments and at what period,
said that it was not possible at present to give an
answer to the gallant member's question, inasmuch
as until Parliament had decided what sum should
be granted for the expenses of the militia for the
year the Government could not say what regiments
should be called out for training. With regard to
the latter part of the question, in the month of
March last the War office had sent a circular to all
the lord-lieutenants, intimating to them that no
militia regiments would be called out for training
until September, after the harvest had been got in.
The report of the Committee of Supply was
brought up and agreed to.
The remaining business having been disposed o
the house adjourned at ten minutes to one o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-WEDNESDAY.

On the motion of Mr. DUNLOP, to which the Lord
Advocate assented, the Registration of Long Leases
(Scotland) Bill was read a second time.
Mr. ADDERLEY moved the order for going into
committee upon the Industrial Schools Bill. Lord
GODERICH moved to defer the committee for three
weeks, but this amendment was ultimately withdrawn,
and the bill committed pro foroui, to be reprinted
with amendments.

Tho house then went into committee upon the
Judgments Execution, Ice., Bill, and was occupied in
the discussion of its details during tha remainder of
the sitting, the Chairman being ordered to report
progress.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

Petitions were announced against the returns for
Finsbury, Lambeth, Bodmin, Dover, Weymouth,
Oalway, Bath, and Cashel. They were referred to
the General Committee on Elections.
The house adjourned at six o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tat:rummy.
NATIONAL EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.

The LORD ADVOCATE, in reply to a question from
Viscount Melgund, stated that, in consequence of
the want of time, the Government did not intend to
introduce a bill on the subject of national education
in Scotland during the present session, but he hoped
that in the next session they would be able to bring
in a measure which would be satisfactory to all
parties.

ment in a general measure, he (Lord Palmerston)
would guarantee that these Irish tolls should be
included in that measure.

Mr. Lowi:, in reply to Mr. Disraeli, explained that
Government had prepared a comprehensive bill upon
the subject, and would introduce it as soon as tho
state of public business would permit.
After a short discussion the house divided, when
the motion was negatived by 253 to 133.

rtlant.

A SECOND LETTER FROM MR. JAMES SADLEIR has
appeared in the Irish papers. It is intended as a
reply to the charge of " cooking the books " preferred
against James Sadleir by the Master of the Rolls, on
the ground furnished by a note of instructions from
John Sadleir, found in the papers of James after the
bank stopped. James Sadleir denies that he acted
as his brother John wished, and maintains that he
did not alter " one figure " in the accounts. The
comments of the Evening Post dispose of Mr. James
Sadleir and put the true state of the case on record
very lucidly :

According to himself, James Sudleir is an innocent
victim to his credulity. He certainly did not carry out
John's atrocious suggestions in form ; but yet, when the
affairs of the Tipperary Bank were in total and hopeless
insolvency—with assets not amounting to the sixth part of
the money plundered from the creditors, the victims of
the nefarious system carried out by John through the in-
strumentality of James—he, as the managing director,
produced and signed a report which represented the affairs
of the bank as in a most flourishing condition.

THE EMIGRATION ABOUT KERRY still continues.
One of the journals has the following statement
respecting the progress of the population drain in
that quarter ;
London, England, 1857-05-23

AMERICA.

The usual mail, with dates from Boston, May 6,
and from Halifax, May 8, brings news that it was
said, on the sth, in responsible quarters at Washing-
ton, that the Administration, although not approving
the Supplemental Central American Treaty as
amended, had thought it but courteous to the
Senate to transmit it to the British Government, but
it is now believed that the Dallas-Clarendon Treaty
is beyond resurrection ; and the time for the ex-
change of ratifications having expired, the Adminis-
tration maintains that the British Government has
failed to execute the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, and will
insist upon its being carried out in good faith.

Governor Robinson, of Kansas, proceeded to
Lecompton on the 2nd inst., to await his trial on the
indictment for treason.

Despatches received from the French Consul at
Panama give full details of the situation of the
country. It would appear, from these accounts,
that New Granada is not capable of resisting the
invasion prepared by the Americans, who are likely
to establish themselves without difficulty at Panama
and Chagres.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

Sir J. RAMSDEN, in reply to Major Knox, said it
was not desirable that all the names sent in for the
cross should be published. It would be invidious to
publish the names of those who were rejected, and
the result would be to cause disappointment among
numbers who were less fortunate, though perhaps
not less deserving. The object of the Government
was to confer the greatest amount of honour, and at
the same time to cause the smallest amount of mor-
tification.

THE PERSIAN WAR.

Mr. WYSE asked the noble lord ist the head of the
Government whether there was any prospect of the
papers relating to the war with Persia being laid
upon the table of the house?
Ur. BAILLIE wished to be informed whether these
papers when presented would contain the despatches
of Lord Stratford de Redefine relating to the pro-

49'7

posais made by Ferouk Khan at Constantinople before
theleommeneement of the war.
Lord PALM) RSTON : We have reason to hope that the
ratifications of the treaty with Persia will at an early period
be exchanged. Until tint is done, of course no papers
can be laid upon the table ; bnt we shall then produce such
papers as we think will enable the house to form an
opinion upon the war. _ _

Mr. BArr.r.te : The noble lord has not answered my
question. I again ask whether the despatches of Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe will be laid upon the table ?
Lord PALMERSTON : I can at present give no answer to
that question.

ment until the Thursday following, for the Whitsun-
