A FRESH WATER SPRING AT SEA.—Mr. W. A.
Booth, the coast pilot of the revenue cutter Harriet Lane,
reports the discovery of a boiling fresh water spring at sea,
off the coast of Florida. He says the spring is situated 12
miles north-by-east from St. Agnes line, Florida, and
eight miles off shore. It boils up with great force, and can
be descried at a distance of two miles. When first seen it
has the appearance of a breaker, and is generally avoided ;
but there is no danger in the vicinity, as there are five
fathoms between it and the shore. Ten fathoms of water
are found to the leeward, but no bottom can be reached
with the deep sea lead and 30 fathoms of line at the spring
itself. The water in the spring is fresh, and by no means
unpalatable. One peculiarity about this phenoinenon;
that when the St. John's river is high it boil6suenp's rather
g

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1861.

The remarkable triumph achieved by Ministers
last evening was beyond what had even been anti-
cipated by themselves. The wriggling snake of
Opposition—so manifold and tcrtuous in its wind-
ings hitherto—is at length no longer scotched
merely, but killed outright. Its neck may be said
to have been effectually broken by this last division.
In reference to which division, by the way, we
would at once direct public attention to what is
certainly a very odd coincidence. And the coin-
cidence is this. Upon the last great party division,
namely, the division in the House of Commons on
the 2d inst., in Committee of Ways and Means—the
aggregate of the minority trooping together upon
the side of the Opposition was identical with the
aggregate of the minority now again trooping
together on the side of the Opposition !
On Thursday, the 2d of May, 1861, and on Thurs-
day, the 30th of May, 1861—there were collected
together by the Opposition whips 281 against her
MAJESTY'S Government. The Ministerial majority
upon the former occasion having been Eighteen, and
upon the latter occasion having been Fifteen, while
the Opposition minority has remained in each in-
stance at the same dead level—it is obvious that last
night there was a falling off of three upon the side
of the Government. Whereas Ministers told
off into their lobby 296 yesterday, or more
strictly speaking this morning, they told off as
many as 299, but just one short of a round three
hundred, upon the former occasion. To signalise
the peculiarity of these almost exactly balanced
divisions, we will give each here briefly in a tabular
form, so that they may be contrasted at a glance :

MENT FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE TEA DUTY.

A.MENDNIENT FOR THB RETENTION OF THE PAPER
DUTIES.

Miniaterialists 296

.. 281

Majority for the Government.... 15
So far, however, from the circumstance of that
falling off to the extent of three in the Ministerial
majority between the 2d and the 30th instant
telling against the Cabinet, the fact is directly
otherwise. That it is so, cannot fail to be recognised
upon a calm consideration of the actual circum-
stances. Recollect that ever since the former divi-
sion forced upon the House when in Committee of
Ways and Means, by reason of Mr. BARING'S Tea
Duty Amendment—the efforts made by the Oppa
sition to strengthen their hands against the Go-
cernment have been most energetic and determined.
Nothing has been left undone in order, if possible,
to justify that very singular outburst of cheering
with which upon the former of these two recent
divisions the Minority greeted their own discom-
fiture. Those enthusiastic cheers showed that they
were then still sanguine of success, notwithstand-
ing their immediate defeat by the supporters of the
Administration. And since then they have striven
heart and soul to swell their own numbers, and con-
sequently to diminish those of their antagonists.
With what result has at length been rendered
clearly manifest. If they have not fallen off even
by the minimum of a single vote, they have not by
an unit advanced their own aggregate.
And this, moreover, in spite of a very pro-
mising windfall in the shape of that broken
allegiance of the Irish Liberals to the PALMERSTON
Government! That actually alone will go pretty
far to explain the fact of the list of Ayes now
being minus sundry Celtic names occurring in
the earlier catalogue of the Government sup-
porters. To give a single instance— whereas in
the Ministerial Majority of the 2d of May, the
name of " MAGUIRE, J. F." duly appears alpha-
betically in its right place—it will be looked for
vainly in this division list, either on the side of
the Government or of the Opposition. So might
it be said, too, of others among the Irish represen-
tatives. And it is the surprising
names noticeable here and there, both indiversity of
the lists of
the Ministerialists and of the Opposit-
ion,under date
May the 2d and May the 30th, that renders so
very singular as a coincidence of numbers the
dead-level kept at by the Opposition, And the

fact that there is noticeable a difference of merely
three upon the side of the Government.
It is unquestionable, we take it, that the clear
majority of Fifteen sebnred to themselves last
evening by her MAJESTY'S Government, in a
house (including the four Tellers, the Speaker,
and the Chairman of Committee) of 583 altogether,
is virtually, under the circumstances of the case, a
far larger majority than that won by Ministers on
the 2d of May in a House of 586 altogether, that
earlier majority of Eighteen ! In effect it was at
once recognised last night when the numbers were
announced. There were audible then, no hopeful
counter cheers from the aide of the Opposition—only
reverberating shouts of applause again and again re-
newed from the ranks of the victorious supporters
of the Government. The division in fact is decisive.
That clear majority of Fifteen in a i,ouse of 583
members, after so very prolonged and resolute
an opposition, fixes the seal of acceptance upon the
Budget, doom for ever and for ever the paper
duties after the Ist of October, strengthens almost
beyond calculation the hold upon power of the
Liberal Coalition, hurls to the winds this session
the hopes of the Opposition, and the fears that
were beginning to darken about us as to the
terrible possibility of a dissolution at midsummer.
The discussion which led the way to last night's
decisive division, while relieved from absolute
inanity by two or three speakers, must neverthe-
less be acknowledged to have been upon the whole
one of almost unexampled dullness. The only
really telling speech in the debate was the one
delivered by the noble lord the Foreign Secre-
tary. The impassioned repudiation by Lord JOHN
of the disgraceful imputations directed against the
Government of which he is a member touched all
the nobler sentiments of the House as with so many
electric flashes of indignation. In answer to each
vivid lightning word of scorn in regard to these
baseless accusations came " the applauding thun-
der at its heels"—and this alike from the side of
the Government and of the Opposition. Another
deeply interesting incident of the debate yesterday
was the really heartfelt welcome accorded alike
by personal friends and political foes to Mr.
COBDEN upon the occasion of his reappearance !
The " unadorned eloquence" of that veritable
Genius of Common Sense again telling with signal
force upon the discussions in that the popular
branch of the Legislature, Otherwise than in these
two instances the debate of last night was, how-
ever, as dull and as uninteresting as its result has
proved decisive both as to the success of the Budget
and the triumph of the Ministry.

Father DALY would do well to remember the
wisdom of that old threadbare proverb, Ye sutor
ultra crepidam. One is almost tempted to give it
a sort of punning half echo in our English verna-
cular—avowing, by an allowable change of mood,
that No suitor could well go beyond his (Father
DALY'S) " last." The Prime Minister's graphic ac-
count last evening of his lordship's interview with
the rev. gentleman whose name we have just
now particularized certainly lifts the curtain upon
as delicate a little political mission as was perhaps
ever adventured upon by ecclesiastic. The incident is

as certainly very exemplary in its character, or as
our cousins across the Atlantic would more aptly call
it—cautionary. As described by the noble viscount

immediately after the taking of last night's divi-
sion, the interview is brought before us so clearly,
so vividly, so picturesquely that we seem somehow
to make quite one of the party. We are conducted
into the apartment as it were by the noble lord
himself, and become as from behind a screen
compulsory spectators and eaves-droppers.

" There is zio use in concealing names,"
says Lord PALMERSTON with charming
naïveté beginning his pleasant little prelection.
" Father—that is Mr.—DALY," says the Premier,
with a humorous twinkle in his eye while correct-
ing his of course quite unintentional lapsus lingua
—"Father—that is Mr.—DALY called upon me on
Saturday and urged upon me reasons why the de-
cision of the Government with regard to the Gal-
way packet line should be reconsidered. Well."
said Lord PALMERSTON, " I stated to Mr. DALY
that I did not consider him authorised to repre-
sent anybody on the subject, and I declined to enter
into a discussion with him on the Galway packet
contract." Nothing daunted by which, Father,
that is Mr., DALY replies—" It is a public ques-
tion." The reverend gentleman might have added,
in every sense of the word —" and a purely," no, not
purely, that's not the phrase, " a strictly," yes,
strictly will do—" and a strictly mercantile
transaction !" What is Lord PALMERSTON'S reply ?
Why, exactly the reply that might have been
looked for from Lord PALMERSTON ! "It is a
matter that can alone be discussed publicly in the
House of Commons," observes the Premier in
answer to Mr. DALY—" and not privately in my
own apartment." Thereupon—" Mr. DALY said,

if I would not discuss it with him, would I do so
with a deputation of Irish members ? I said I did
not see that it was a matter between me and the
Irish members, but between the Government and
the Galway Company ; nor did I see what the
Irish members had to do with it more than to
take part in the division that must follow on the
motion:, Such delightful obtuseness on the part
of Lord PALMERSTON ! Of course the House could
only listen to the rest of the interview through its
own laughter. The noble viscount continues—
" Mr. DALY said I was mistaken, because the
Irish members must take some action on the sub-
ject. I said I Yes, that action will be on the dis-
cussion.' (Cheers, and laughter.) Well, Mr. DALY
said, That won't exactly do—(laughter)—l wish
to bring a deputation of Irish members to you on
Monday.' But Monday I told him was the day
appointed for the Budget, and the Galway con-
tract is a different question. (Laughter.) I
said There is no discussion on Monday about
the Galway contract. There is no reason
why I should receive a deputation
on that day,
and, moreover, if I were to receive a
deputation,
know already everything they could say to me, and
I can only tell them what I tell you—namely, that
it is a public question to be discussed in the House
of Commons, and not in a private room in my
but,' said Mr. DALY, lam
anxious Well,
s that you should see them on Monday, be-
cause they must take action on the subject—(laugh-
ter)—and that action must be taken on the Monday
evening.' (Renewed laughter.) ' Oh,' said I,

I now understand you—(much laughter)—and
when it is put to me in that way I must, with all
deference and respect for the Irish members, entirely
decline seeing any of them." At that, as the
crowning record of the interview between Father
DALY and Lord PALMERSTON, the House cheered,
as it well might, and that heartily. The ex-
planation which has now been given by the noble
Premier in regard to these ugly rumours
about the Irish members, the Gal way
and her MAJESTY'S Government—
Packet Company
coincides entirely with the view we took of those
rumours yesterday. The disgraceful accusations
directed through those rumours against Her
mAnny's Government have been now effectu..

We do not know that there is much to complain
of in the principles and practice of American
blockades, as they are illustrated by the correspon-
dence just published. They first proclaim the
blockades as to be "set on foot" at certain ports ;
they do not regard the blockade, however, as com-
mencing from the issue of the proclamation, but
from the time when a force is stationed at the port
sufficiently strong and watchful to warn, indivi-
dually, each vessel as it approaches the port.
Nothing but a resistance of this warning is regarded
as a breach,'blockade. All vessels, also, actually
in the port are allowed 15 days to depart, and they
may do so with or without cargo ; nor would it
be inquired into whether they had taken the cargo
on board after the blockade had been actually
established.

There have occurred, however, two or three cases
of hardship, in which Mr. SEWARD does not appear
to us to have fairly carried out his assurance to
Lord LYONS, "That if in any individual cases the
rules of blockade should bear hardly on British
vessels he should be ready to consider the equity
of the matter, and to receive favourably any repre-
sentations he might make on behalf of the interests
of British subjects." To most persons it will
appear as if the equity of the following case de-
manded favourable consideration. Mr. J. LEAY-
CROFT applies for power to send British vessels to
take away cargoes which have been bought and
paid for in the blockaded port. In another case
power was asked to send for oak plank
which had been bought and paid for,
in part fulfilment of a contract for the British
Government. Mr. SEWARD regrets categorically to
refuse all the applications, four in number ! He
pleads that the same rules had been enforced
against American merchants having cotton at
Norfolk, which they wished to bring away in
American bottoms. The rule appears harsh against
their own merchants, that is on the supposition,
that as in the case of the British merchants they
had paid for the goods. If they had not, some-
thing might of course be said in favour of prevent-
ing the enemy from getting money into his hands.
To us it seems that reason, courtesy, and equity
were all on the side of allowing the merchants of
another country to take away the goods by ships
going for them in ballast, as proposed, when the
rebels had already secured the merchant's money.
Practically, indeed, Mr. SEWARD'S policy gives to
his enemies both the money and the goods. He
injures his friends and benefits his enemies. The
latter may be high morality ; but the former is
neither good morality nor good policy.
We must say, however, that Mr. SEWARD IS not
exactly the politician we had, till the late contest,
supposed him to be. He can talk too much blarney
and bluster. Amongst the territories which " mani-
fest destiny" was to give to the now shattered
Union, he had the taste to mention the Canadas.
His warning to European politicians to dismiss
from their heads all thoughts of a secession being
permitted, will not be forgotten. Nor can we
relish much more this repudiation of
" the equity" of a pretty clear case.
The Minister Plenipotentiary to St. Petersburg
seems to be a gentleman of the same class, one who
could take in hand to lecture us on what we should
think for our honour and our interest. In the
proclamation, too, of Mr. LINCOLN, signed by Mr.
SEWARD, we find the astounding assertion,
that if "any person" under the "pretended
authority of the said (seceded) states" should
molest any vessels of the United States, or
the persons or cargo on board of one, " such per-
son will be held answerable to the laws of the
United States for the prevention of piracy !" States
which have agreed to abolish privateering might
consistently take this ground; but Mr. LINCOLN
could only take it by denying to the Southern
States the belligerent rights which, hateful as their
cause is, Lord .TonN RUSSELL has humanely and
wisely asserted for them. It is, indeed, but to
introduce civilised views of what common humanity
demands in mitigation of the horrors of war. A little
modesty would surely better comport with the pre-
sent position of the broken up Union, than a con-
tinuance of that arrogance with which the United
States were wont to beard tho senior nations of the
Old World. We have no fear, however, but that
our Foreign-office will perform its duties in a firm
yet becoming manner.

THE COURT.—Her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness the Prince Consort, and the youthful members of the
Royal Family, are expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace
either on Monday or Wednesday next for the season. It is
also expected that the Queen will occasionally visit White
Lodge, in Richmond-park, during the season.
The Earl of Mornington has arrived at the
Cl trendon from Paris.

The Earl and Countess Delawarr and Sir Alex-
ander and Lady Arabella Bannerman are expected to at,-
rive in London in the course of the ensuing week from
Genoa, after passing several months in Italy.
We understand that a marriage is shortly to take
place between the Right Hon. William Hutt, Vice Presi-
dent of the Board of Trado, and Mrs. Hugh4daughter of
the Hon. Sir Francis Stanhope, and widow of Col. Hughes,
brother of the late Lord Pinorben.

MONUMENT TO SHAKSPEARE.—A public meet-
ing will be held shortly, in connection with the above ob-
ject, at the Theatre Royal, Drury•lane, which E. T.Smith,
Esq., has liberally granted for the occasion.

Government have granted the Royal Irish Aca-
demy £lOO a year for the recovery of antiquities in Ireland
through the agenc3, of the constabulary.

The Charity Commissioners have given notice
that the well-known library of Archbishop Tenison, in the
parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, will be sold by auction.

M. Thiers has resolved to make over the prize
of 20,000 f. which has just been awarded to him, to the
French Academy, to be bestowed by them upon some
writer whom they may select,

The Ost-Deutsche Post of Vienna says :—" M.
Wagner's opera of Lohengrin' has just been performed
here. The public appeared anxious to console the com-
poser for the check he had recently received in Paris. The
house was crowded, and at the end of the overture there
arose a tempest of applause which continued until M. Wag-
ner advanced to the front of his box and thanked the public
for the honour conferred on him."

The correspondence between Mr. Alcock, our
minister at Yeddo, and Lord John Russell, respecting the
recent difficulties in Japan, has been published. These
documents comprise a history of the diplomatic events
which grew out of the murder of the American Secretary
of Legation. Mr. Alcock's closing despatch announces
the restoration of friendly relations with the Japanese go-
vernment, and his return to Yeddo. Lord John Russell
expresses his satisfaction with this announcement, and
approves of the course taken by Mr. Alcock.
The Italian Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting
of the 28th, commenced the debate on the bill for
recognising the claims of such officers as, under
the fallen dynasties, had been deprived of their
grades from political motives. After a long dis-
cussion, it was agreed that the claims of those only
should be admitted who had offered to serve in
1859 ; after which the Chamber voted tne first
three articles.

At the meeting of the Trust and Loan Company
of Upper Canada, to-day, it was stated that the
net profits for the six months ending the 31st of
March last, amounted to £14,020 Cs. id., which,
added to the sum brought forward, gave an avail-
able balance of £14,416 15s. ld., from which the
directors declared a dividend at the rate of 8 per
cent. per annum, free of income-tax. It was agreed
that one half of the surplus profit over 6 per cent.,
and the usual charge for interest, amounting toge-
ther to £3,474 Os. 10d. should be added to the
Reserve Fund, and that £250 be applied to the re-
demption of preliminary expenses, leaving a sum of
£67 14s. 3d. to be carried forward.
