P. HE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY 'EVENING, 7:MAY 15, 1862.

CHESTER, was on Tuesday called upon to answer for
himself by the Lord Chancellor, when the following
dialogue took place :
The LORD CHANCELLOR—My lord bishop, I am
directed by the house to ask your lordship whether you
heard the question put from the chair ?
The Bishop of WiNcuzsTun—Yes.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—OR which side was it your
.ordship's intention to vote?
The Bishop of Wl;icuEsTzß—With the non-contents.
The Loup CHA.NCELLOTh—OR which side does your
lordship now vote ?
The Bishop of WINCHESTER—With the non-contents.
Surely a very harmless interlocution in itself.
Very plain, for all who listened to it, to understand.
Not in any way that we can at all understand
it a display of arrogance on the part of the
Chancellor—nor yet again in any one particu-
lar that we can perceive degrading or galling
to the sight as the Bishop of WINCHESTER.
Not so, however, thought the Duke of BIICCLEIICEI.
Who forthwith rose indignantly to protest against
what he deemed the unprecedented and apparently
in his present view, the unseemly circumstance of
any noble lord being subjected to what the Duke
of BUCCLEITCH termed " so much examination and
cross-examination." The House laughed at the
charge—and no wonder—thus petulantly' directed
against the noble and learned lord on the woolsack.
But the Lord Chancellor himself actually went the
length of good humouredly apologising ! For
what ? For having—if really such was the fact—
" added one more to the many irregularities of the
evening." Without doubt the "reply courteous"
thus readily given by Lord WESTBURY to the Duke
of BUCCLEUCH will go far to obliterate from the
recollection of the House of Peers the " reply
irritable" given by the noble and learned lord some
little time back to Lord. CHELMSFORD, and after-
wards to Lord CHELMSFORD'S apologist, the noble
Earl, the head of the Opposition.

The conflict thickens in America. The news jnsl
arrived shows all parties alive, in excitement, mov

ing on ready to move, both politicians and soldiers.
We are now certain of the surrender of New Orleans,
and of the correctness of our conjectures founded
on the few facts which reached us by the telegrams.
General BUTLER. did come at the back of the city

by Lake Portchartrain to co-operate with the fleet
stationed alongside and above the undefended city ;
and it was the Confederate, not the Federal Govern-
ment who marched out to a station twenty-five
miles distant. The fleet has since taken Baton
Rouge, about 120 miles higher up the river, a place
of considerable importance, and one in which the
secession feeling is said to have been very strong.

His municipal majesty, the Mayor of New
Orleans seems to have sent the Federal com-
mander, in reply to his summons to surren•

, - -
der, a reply worthy, in its mingled shrewd

ness, and sauciness of Mr. SEWARD himself.
Of course his worship was the nominee of the party
who had taken arms against the Union, although
it is well known that no city in the South had more
Union feeling in it than New Orleans. This natu-
rally resulted from its being the great commercial
emporium. It was the same under a different form
at New York. Either of the two great commercial
capitals were, for a long time, ready to accept
almost any compromise which would prevent dis-
turbance to their trade. The present Mayor doubt-
less, thought it very clever and courageous to make
his reply a Secession manifesto—to boast of their
allegiance being still given to the Government they
had chosen, and the surrender of an undefended city
being an unnecessary ceremony. If the Federals
have acted as vigorously as they did at Nashville, in
Tennessee, they have given the New Orleanists a
provisional Mayor who will preserve civil order,
and be able to hoist the Federal Flag without
danger of " paralysing his hands." The new
Mayor, too, would also take care that allegiance to
Secession was not maintained by " firing upon
helpless women and children for showing their
pleasure at witnessing the old flag."
There is evidently also anxious movement near

Corinth and Memphis. BEAUREGARD and HAL-
LECK are both old soldiers, the former has probably
the smaller force, but he is in a desperate position,
and is said to have evacuated Corinth and fallen
back to Memphis and the river, probably to have
the aid and cooperation of his gunboats; while
HALLECK is close upon him, with it is said 160,000
men. If he does not rout and capture BEAURE-
GARD'S army, he apparently ought to do it. In the
East, Fort Macon, which was blown up soon after
General BURNSIDE took Newburn, has at last
really surrendered, and BURNSIDE will therefore be
now at liberty to pay his attentions to the Norfolk
navy yard, though he will have 150 miles to march
and some rivers to cross. M'CLELLAN appears to
be still busy on regular approaches to Yorktown,
and BANKS and M‘DowELL co •operating vigor-
ously from the north-west of Virginia.
The politicians are getting warm over the negro
question. Little has actually been done yet ; but
the proposals to confiscate tha negro property of
rebels meets with strenuous opposition. The Eman-
cipationists would seem to be a very large majority;
but, in consequence, the members from the border
States threaten another secession—one from Con-
gress—and thus to throw the onus of the emanci-
pation measures upon one party entirely. Presi-
dent LINCOLN has no doubt a difficult game to
play ; and all kinds of rumours are rife, but no
faith can be placed in any of them. One thing is
certain—without emancipation reunion could never
be real and solid.

All is over, so far as the English and Spanish are
concerned in Mexico, if we may reiy on the infor-
mation just brought from the West Indies. Ori-
ginally it was only intended to occupy the ports of
the country, and that each Power should redress
its grievances, which were chiefly pecuniary, by
appropriating the Customs dues till the demands
were satisfied. The Treaty between the Tbree
Powers was as distinct as could well be needed ;
but first the Spaniards practically violated its
arrangements by landing a number of troops be-
fore the other Allies were ready, and acting in a
manner which showed that they hoped to repeat in
Mexico the roguery which had been so successful
in St. Domingo.

We did not alter our course—but France would
not be outdone in a question of soldiers and foreign
influence—she immediately put herself on a level
with Spain in her proceedings, and the Mexicans,
to her great pleasure, no doubt, of the two invaders,
showed an evident preference for the French. The
Spaniards have seen that their original project of
becoming the governing patrons of Mexico was
hopeless ; the inhabitants would not have them at
any price. The rie..l,, .)...,..nwhilp. persist in
their plan of endeavouring to establish a monarchy
in Mexico, or at least, of, what they call, restoring
order; offering their support to the moderate party.

Their Highnesses the Prince and the Princess

The Lord Chancellor has ordered, on the recom-
mendation of her Majesty's Attorney-General, Sir William
Atherton, that £4OO from a lapsed Chancery fund shall be
given to the National Lifeboat Institution, in consideration
of its great and important operations.
It is reported that the French Government is

CAPTURE OF PIRATES.—HONGKONG, March 31.
—Her Majesty's gunboat Bustard has captured two pirate
lorchas off Amoy, and released a large trading junk. Her
Majesty's gunboat Cockchafer captured a pirate junk, de-
stroyed another, and recaptured a large merchant junk on
the 24th of March, off Aooy. The merchant junk and the
pirate junk were taken into Amoy with 47 pirate prisoners.
A third pirate junk made her escape.

THE BATTLE OF PULTOWA.—The ukase of the
Emperor of Russia, abolishing all national festivals, except
the one for the victory of Pultowa, has been interpreted in
Sweden as a demonstration of hostility. At least the jour-
nals of Stockholm call upon Sweden, and the provinces de-
tached from the Crown of Sweden, to celebrate in common
the anniversary of the same battle as a day of national

mourning.
DEATH OF A VETERAN.—Lieutenant Frederick
Bedford died at his residence, Greenwich Hospital, on the
13th inst., aged 83. This gallant old officer entered Green-
wich Hospital on the 23d cf June, 1802, and consequently
had nearly completed 60 years in that noble institution.
He was midshipman of the Jason, and lost an eye and sus-
tained other injuries at the capture of the French frigate
Seine in 1798. He became Senior Lieutenant of the Dasher,
and in 1801, when commanding the boats in pursuit of a
convoy, lost a leg, and hae his boat sunk by a shot from
the enemy.
VISIT OF THE JAPANESE TO THE BANK OF ENG-
LAND.—On Tuesday morning, shortly before 12 o'clock, the
members of the Japanese embassy visited the Bank of Eng-

land. There were five carriages, and the visit being quite
private, but few of the public had an opportunity of seeing
the illustrious personages, the ambassadors themselves
having alighted at the front entrance of the establishment
in Threadneedle-street before the passers-by to the Royal
Exchange had intimation of the circumstance. They were
attended by their interpreter, their draughtsman, and the
other members of their suite. At the Bank they were met
by several of the directors, who took them over the build-
ing, the various departments in connection therewith being
explained to them by the interpreter, and in the whole of
which they appeared to take great interest.
THE CROPS IN SUFFOLK.—Upon the 'clay and
stiff-mixed soils of Suffolk the wheats are looking exceed-
ingly well, but on the light lands they are in some places
thin and weakly. The barley crop promises well, and, not-
withstanding that the past spring has been rather trying to
vegetation, appears to ha're sustained no injury. The later
sown portion of the crop Las rapidly developed itself. Beans
and peas look well, and there is an encouraging promise of
a good mangold-wurzel plant. The clover crop does not,
however, hold out such satisfactory hopes, being thin in
some districts. During the last three or four days a good
deal of rain has fallen, and the pastures have taken a fresh
start. The annual meeting of the Suffolk Agricultural
Society is about to be heldat Bury St. Edmund's, and three
days will be given on the occasion to the various systems of
steam cultivation.
MR. WINDHAM AGAIN !—You will not, I pre-
sume, be surprised to learn that, in all probability, Mr.
Windham and his affairs are likely again to be brought
under the notice of the public. It is stated in well-
informed quarters that the eccentricities and extravagancies
in which the young man has lately indulged are of such a
nature that his mother has been advised to present a peti-
tion to the Lord Chancellor praying that the inquiry into
the state of his mind may be reopened. Should the prayer
of the petitioner be acceded to, and should another jury
arrive at an opposite conclusion to the last, what a lament,
able and costly miscarriage of justice will be presented to
the world I Mrs. Windham has returned from the conti-
nent in company with Giuglini, with whom she appeared
so frequently in public in Dublin last season.—London.
Correspondent of Belfast News Letter.
ANOTHER TRADE OUTRAGE AT SHEFFIELTh —On
Tuesday morning it was discovered that another trade out-
rage had been perpetrated at the Union grinding wheel,
Sheffield. The wheel had been broken into during the pre-
ceding night, and a number of tools, consisting of laps,
glaziers, polishers, bands, and horsings, the property of a
razor-grinder, named John Green, were destroyed. The
mill in which the tools were left is occupied by Green, con-
jointly with two other grinders, and was left in perfect
safety on Monday night. On Tuesday morning it was dis-
covered that the mill had been broken into, and the articles
indicated above removed. The tools of the other grinders
close by had not been meddled with. On making a search
it was found that Green's tools, which were of the value of
£l2, had been thrown under the boiler fire and destroyed.
It appears that Green is a member of the trades' union, and
that he has had a misunderstanding with them. Green
has, however, annoyed some of his fellow-grinders by tak-
ing work he cannot do himself, but his son can. He has
been requested to desist from this course by some of the
men who work at that description of grinding which he had
been giving to his son, and was told, it is said, that if he
did not comply with their wishes, lie must take the conse-
quences.
TRAGIC OCCURRENCE AT MAN CHEST ER.—A
law minutes before one o'clock yesterday afternoon, as an
umbrella repairer, whose name has not yet been ascer-
tained, was walking through Watkins's-court, near Bridge-
street, Manchester, with a number of umbrellas under one
arm, he was seized by a woman named Mary Reynolds,
who charged him with keeping an umbrella she had given
him to repair about 12 months ago. The man denied all
knowledge of it, when the woman seized the umbrellas and
a walking stick which the man was carrying, and com-
menced beating him about the head with them. The
man ran into a street called Dolefield, pursued by the
woman, who continued to beat him, and after a few blows
had taken effect, he fell down. The woman ran away, ar.
the man was lifted up in a dying state. Before medical aid
could be obtained he expired in the street. The woman is
in custody. The affair created much excitement in the
neighbourhood. On examination of the man's head no
outward appearances were discovered sufficient to account
for death, and it is supposed that he was probably suffering
from disease of the heart. A surgical examination would
be made before holding an inquest.
THE GLASS DOMES, WHY OBJECTIONABLE.—

We must object in fob to the introduction of glass domes
as a feature of architecture--at least when viewed from the
exterior. Their transparency entirely deprives them of the
preponderating size which solid domes exhibit, and which
always forms a grand feature—generally the'leading one—
in the public buildings of Europe so enriched. Moreover,
the farm itself, however beautiful its outline may be when
of glass, is entirely cut up by the manner in which the
supporting ribs cut each other. If we judge of them from
the inside less is to be said against them ; but our praise
even here can only be negative, as without doubt they let
in a vast deal more light than is necessary, whilst they ut-
terly fail to transmitlight to the tunnel-like nave. We con-
fess we would much rather have seen such a dome as that
covering the reading-room of the British Museum, where
there is light enough in all conscience, notwithstanding the
massiveness of its exterior. But the truly ludicrous ap.
pearance of the dome of the Great Exhibition, as seen from
the only part the public can approach it on,the eastern side,
is fairly given in the following sketch which was made
from the Exhibition road opposite to the eastern entrance,
and at the utmost distance the artist could get from the
object. Here it puts on the appearance of one of those
umbrellas used to protect the vegetables in Covent-garden
Market. Viewed from the Horticultural Gardens, the best
view can perhaps be had of those enormous wens upon the
ugly body of the building, but we conceive that, as the two
are brought into view from this point, the faults of the
building are thereby only doubled.—Once a Week.
AURORA BOREALIS.—This meteorological pile•
nomenon, which is of very rare occurrence in Italy and
other countries lying under the same parallels, was observed
at the Brera Observatory of Milan on the night of the 3d.
It commenced about midnight by the sudden appearance of
a subdued and diffused light towards the N.W. ; after some
time large and frequent luminous coruscations were per-
ceived, of such magnitude as often to extend to the zenith.
These appearances having subsided, a see rnpnt of a
very black cloud hPe4n to rise about 40 min. past mid-
night, in the direction of the magnetic meridian. The
cloud was bordered with two concentric arcs of
pale light, and moving upwards by degrees, slowly
took an easterly direction. Seven minutes later the
larger and more elevated of the two arcs had disappeared,
but the smaller one contiguous to the dark segment became
more beautiful and better &fined, extending like a curved
zone about 12 degrees in breadth, with two well defined and
circular borders. Its light, which at first was pale, sud-
denly brightened about 56 min, past midnight, and shone
with an intense purple light for some seconds. This 'mag-
nificent spectacle was enhanced by a shower of falling stars,
after which the black segment began to dissolve into
stratified clouds, and the luminous are gradually faded
away. At 10 'Minutes past one every trace of the pheno-
' mena had disappeared, except a very weak diffused light
which overspread the whole visible PkY•--

EXR7'BR HALL.

MADAME LIND-GULDSCHMID P.
Art, which may be considered as almost the
highest gift to man, can never be so dignified as
when associated with benevolence, which is almost
his highest duty. It was the great distinction
of Madame Goldschmidt throughout her wonderful

career that she seemed to hold her talents in

,rust for the benefit of others—by the constant

sympathy she shared with _ the unfortunate

_
and suffering—and since her comparative
retirement, she has lived in the heart

of the public quite as much as in their memory by

her continued manifestation that such a feeling is
still dominant. It is indeed her peculiar praise
that she has felt the powers which were given her to

delight comparatively a few, were best employed

when devoted to the service of the many. A year

ago she came forward to assist in raising funds for
the removal of the destitution, moral and physical,
of an eastern suburb ; and now she presents herself

again with an equallygenerons andimportant scheme,
that of three oratorios-in support of as many
charities—each of which has unquestionable claims

upon the public. The first is for the benefit of the
Hinde-street Institution, and other establish-
ments for the relief of the needlewomen of
London ; the second is on behalf of
the Brompton Hospital for Consumption,

and Diseases of the Chest—and the third is in sup

says

port of the Two Royal Societies of Male and Female
Musicians. A purpose so estimable the public
could scarcely fail to appreciate, wholly
apart from the degree of efficiency with
which it is proposed to be carried out,
and connected with such efficiency have already
proved they will support to the utmost point of
success which its kindly promoter could desire. We
understand that; nearly all the tickets for the series
have been disposed of, and these it must be remem-
bered at the price of half a guinea and a guinea. We
should presume, therefore, that the proceeds will
be something very handsome. Mdme. Goldschmidt
has associated with herself on this occasion
almost all the superior talent for sacred
music in the metropolis. Miss Palmer—a
very adequate replacement of Madame Sainton
—Mr. Simms Reeves, Mr. Weiss, and Signor
Belletti, together with a band selected from the
leading London orchestras, and a chorus, compris-
ing 500 performers, taken from the Sacred
Harmonic and other choirs the whole
being placed under the able direction of
her husband Mr. Otto Goldschmidt. The per-
formance of the " Messiah" last evening, which
properly inaugurated the series, was one of
the most superb that has ever been given
to one of the most brilliant audiences that
has ever crowded Exeter Hall. Madame
Goldschmidt, who since her entrance into the field
of sacred music, with the sole exception of Madame
Novello,has been allowed to reign in it supreme, never
exerted herself with more ardour or more success than
on this occasion. Her still extraordinary voice, though
evidently suffering from the influences of our most
anti-vocal climate, and requiring therefore some
little exertion to rouse to a full display of its
powers—when so excited still asserts its claim as
one of the marvels of our time—alike in
respect to its unequalled range, and its peculiar
force and quality. It still presents that union of
power and sweetness which distinguished it at first,
if not all the ease and facility which completed its en-
chantment. All the resonance of the higher notes, all
her marked power of sustainment, and all the
thorough musical culture which enables her to
carry her vocal resources to the utmost point of
effect, are still as palpable as ever. Among the
great features of her singing last evening—and
in evidence of the variety as well as depth
of its display was her striking delivery of the florid
passages of the air, " Rejoice greatly," so triumph-
ant in their exultation—the superb energy which
she threw into the " I know that my Redeemer
liveth," being, as compared with its usually pa-
thetic, a new reading which we felt to be not
less a profound one, in its illustration of the fervid
conviction of the sublime faith which it enunciates,
and the exquisite pianissimo with which she
concluded the second part of the air, "He
shall -f< <I my flock"—one of the most affecting
and delightful cadences we have ever heard from
human lips. To all these passages the audience
could not restrain a warmth of acknowledgment—
demanded by their merit, however, in violence
of the decorum that is felt to be pro-
per to the solemnity of such effusions.
Miss Palmer was also a decided feature of the even-
ing. Her rich contralto tones, always subjected to
due discipline, were enforced on this occasion by a
fervent and devout feeling, which rendered her de-
livery of the two airs, "He was despised and re-
jected," and "He shall feed His flock," almost the
most perfect that we remember. Mr. Sims Reeves
also was in all his power, and declaimed the
great opening air, and also " Thy rebuke bath
broken his heart," with almost the grandeur
of a prophet. Signor Belletti was not less successful
with his noble voice and perfect taste, so truly in
accordance with the music. His only failure was
in the trumpet song which he scarcely delivered
with sufficient vigour. The choruses, with few
exceptions were admirable in the extreme—more
especially " For unto us a child is born," " Behold
the Lamb," and the "Hallelujah"—exhibiting I hat
unity and precision only to be attained by singers
who have the gifts and knowledge, and constant
practice of our London choirs.
Mr. Otto Goldschmidt, we must add, in the
direction of their force, attested his own claims as
a timeist. The next oratorio will be the" Creation,"
and will be given on the 30th.

PARIS, MAY 15.
The Moniteur, in its bulletin of this morning,

According to the news from Mexico to the 11th
ultimo, via Havannab, the allied Plenipotentiaries
had not been able to come to a common under-

standing.
General Prim had announced his resolution to
re-embark his troops, and had sent for the neces-
sary transports to Cuba. Marshal Serrano, Captain-
General of Cuba, after having taken the advice of
the civil and military authorities of Havannah, did
not consider himself justified in acceding to this
demand, and invited General Gassett to return to
Mexico, and take the command of the Spanish
troops, should General Prim persist in his determi-
nation to return.
The French troops were to repass Chiquihuite on
the 20th of April, in order to commence hostilities
immediately.

POLAND.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, MAY 7.
To give you an idea of the treatment to which the
Polish clergy are subjected, in spite of the protection
extended to them by the Archbishop Felinski, I will

state that the Rev. Mr. Mikoszewski, having on
the 2d instant intoned in the Church of St. Alex-

ander a chant usually sung, but resembling much
to the well-known hymn, ' Boze cos Polske," he was
on the same day arrested and taken before the chief
of the police, General Pilsudzkoj—by whom he
was severely reprimanded and even threatened with
a promenade to Russia, should he persist in singing
this church music so obnoxious to the Russian Go-

vernment. Supposing that the priest had over.

stepped certain regulations, still it would have been
for the ecclesiastical authorities to interfere and not
for the police. But the Russians do not know, and
do not possess, any other save a military rule.
Eveu the Archbishop Felinski, to whom in ap-
pearance every respect is paid due to his dignity,
has already become an object of distrust on the
part of the Government. The union which exists
between all the classes, and above all, between the
population and the clergy forms the great strength
of the nation. The devotion of the clergy to the
interests of the country is reciprocated by the affec-

tion and the attachment of the people. Such a
union is very unpleasant to the Government, who,
failing in destroying it, has now commenced to
throw all sorts of insinuations against the arch-
bishop as the abiding example of Polish patriotism,
with a view to render him unpopular among his
countrymen. Of course persons well educated can-
not be deceived by this trial of the Russian Govern-
ment, but the thoughtless youth and some unedu-
cated people may easily be misled. The Archbishop
has, therefore, thought it advisable to offer a public
explanation, but his letter, by order of tne authori-
ties, was not allowed to be published in Warsaw,
and no doubt will appear in some Polish papers at
Posen or Cracow. Those who at one time appeared
to have seen in the person of the new Archbishop
only a Russian tool can now convince themselves
of his true and pure Polish character.
Of those arrested on the 10th of April, and
again on the 3d inst., many have been dispatched
to penal regiments in Russia ; others are imprisoned
in the Citadel awaiting their sentence. The stu-
dents and young people form the greater part of
these prisoners.
On the sth inst., General Krzyzanowski, who
fills the functions of Governor-General, and the
Chief of the Police, General Pilsudski, had desired
the scholastic authorities to dismiss forty students
against wham nothing could be alleged by their
principals. Of course, such a request was flatly
refused by the above authorities. Enraged at this
refusal, General Krzyzanowski ordered the two
directors of the Educational Board, Messrs. Lysz:.
kowski and Paliski, to be removed from their ',osts.
To modify this most unjust proceeding, the tyro
directors received, instead of thei,: dismissal, an
unlimited leave of absence.
We hear here, by way of consolation, that the
educated classes in Russia begin to understand that
liberty cannot come out of the despotism practised
in Warsaw, and, grow weary of the iron rule
exercised in Poland. It is affirmed by these Rus-
sians that the daily imprisonments, the transporta-
tions, and the unheard-of vexations to which the
Poles are doomed for the purpose of making them
renounce their nationality, only increases the in-
tensity of their patriotic feelings and widens the
abyss which now separates the Polish nation from
the Russian Government. If to this be added the
dissatisfaction among the Russians themselves, the
conspiracy, which is widely spread even among the
military—the state of bankruptcy to which Russia
is hastening—the position of the Czar and his
camarilla is not to be envied.
News of the Russian loan to be effected in Lon-
don by Messrs. Rothschild has taken many by sur-
prise here. This financial operation will enable the
Emperor to pay the ariears due to himself and the
public functionaries, so numerous in Russia—to the
Guards, who for more than nine months received
no pay—and to provide the members of the
Imperial family with money for their summer
visits to Germany and England. Not one farthing
of this loan will be applied towards the settlement
of the serf question.

ITALIAN ADDRESS TO LORD PAL-

MERSTON.

The Turin journal, the Italia, publishes the text
of the address which the Italian Association of
Emancipation has sent to Lord Palmerston. It is
as follows :

Trescorra, May 5.
My Lord,—We have heard with joy and grati-
fildP 01 wordo full of moaning, you,ourrcoo
ing the sentiments of the great British nation, have
uttered in the Ikuse of Commons in defence of the
unity of Italy and the principle of non-intervention.
You have recognised the fact of the Napoleonic oc-
