Whe United States, Central America, and Mexico. [from the Loudon Chronicle, May 12.) The canons of foreign policy which an influential my is anxious fd aren to the Executive of the | ited States, @ peculiar interest to every movement-of the cabinet at Washington, which be- | trays a tendency t obey or to resist the pressure ap- | plied to it from without. Our latest advices inform | us that the President has sent-two treaties to the | Senate for ratification ; and both of them indicate a persuasion on the part of Mr, Pierce that Central America is the field where the achievements of his administration must either disappoint or satisly the clamorous democracy which it alfects to represent. Of these treaties, the first, but the least important, is rather an unmeaning instrument, pledging the United States to perpetual amity with the litte re- public of San Salvador oa the Pacitic; and the se- | coud is a stipulation with the temporary Executive of Mexico for license to some American citizens to | construct a railroad across the isthmus of Tehuan- | tepec. he treaty with the petty State of San Salvador is one of several whieh have been concluded on behalf of the United States, with little or no authority, by that turbulent plenipotentiary, Mr. Squier. Appa- rently, the government of President Fillmore regard- ed the negotiations of this gentleman with the Cen- tral American republic as having been deprived of all value by the well known convention agreed to by | Mr. Clayton aud Sir H. Bulwer. Little, therefore, was heard of them till Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, in his recent speech, proclaimed their vast superiority, in point of watchfulness, for American interests, to eve- a revious or subsequent engagement to which the | ited States have ever acceded. The restscitation of one of these treaties by Mr. Pierce derives its sole importance from its seeming to follow the lead of Senator Douglas’ declamation, and we observe that some enthusiastic writers of the more extreme de- mocracy are hailing this step as pregnant with @ promise to set aside what is called an “ en. tangling” alliance with a European power. But the policy of the new government is obviously to grant us much to its partisans as it can concede without compromising itself on the very point upon which they would urge it to extremities. It may be admitted that, logically, the next step to an inde- pendeut treaty with San Salvador would be a sepa- rate convention with Nicaragua; nor is there any | doubt that such an engagement as the latter would be a direct violation of the undertaking with Great | Britain, and an example of contempt for internation: pledges, worthy of a place among the capital in- stances of Punic faith. But, it we have judged Mi! Pierce aright, the present sop to “‘ Young America” isthe strongest proof we can have that he is not meditating a surrender to their clamorous demand that-he should make the Monroe doctrine operate re- | trospectively. if it had really been intended to | throw the Clayton treaty in the face of Lord Claren- don, we take it that the coup de thédtre would not have been robbed of the impressive force which it would derive from unexpectedness. | ‘The concession wrang from Mexico on the subject of Tehuantepec compromises the public conduct of future American governments much more aechiedy than the agreement with San Salyador; and thoug’ President Pierce may not have pinned to it any ul- | terior design, it will’ be beyond his power to mode- rate or modify the results whieh, in the fulness of time, it must necessarily produce. Of the three routes by which it is proposed to connect the Atlan- tic and Pacific, that by the Isthmus of Tehuantepec exhibits by far the jewest intrinsic recommenda. | tions. The railway—which is the only mode of communieation that the character of the ground ad- mits—will be long, expensive, and difficult of con- | struction, even beyond the ordinary conditions of inter-oceanic engineering. But, on the other hand, its termini will be much closer to the two severed | sections of the United States than those of the rival | routes by Ni and Panama. The traveller | from the Atlantic States, who makes for its eastern extremity, will avoid the whole of the tedious sea e round the peninsula of Yucatan; and it is ealculated that, in the whole journey to San Fran- eisco, he will save nearly two thousand miles. Con- sidering the vividness with which the advantages | of speed are appreciated by Americans, there | can scarcely be a shadow of doubt that the railway | ao eeeeer ee will become the high road between old States and California, even though it should | be more costly and inconvenient than the passage b: Panama, and though it should besubject to the draw- | back of coming latest into the field of competition. If, | however, such results are realized, it needs|ittle perspie | eacity to see that they will draw with them the fate | of Mexico. The annexation of the entire Mexican | republic is already openly predicted in the United States; but what will be the feeling of their eitizens when they are linked together by a chain which | ems through Mexican hands? The plea of a na- | necessity will yoke itselt to the call of popular | ambition, and even the most reasonable politicians | will fairly ask whether any older community has ever suffered international duty to stand in the way of | exigencies so cogent. If the only road from Yar- | mouth to Bristol had lain across the space of country between the Forth and the Clyde, is it likely that | the junction of the Scottish Lowlands to England ‘would have been deferred to the accession of James 1.? An unprecedented series of misfortunes has forced upon the Mexicans ‘a concession which the least far-sighted of them would have set down, under or- @inary circumstances, as the very last to be nted to the United States. In 1542, General Santa Anna, then President of Mexico, conferred on one Don Manuel Garay, a Mexican citi the privi- lege of constructing an iuter-oceanic Talwaacross the isthmus of Tehuantepec. Certain conditions were prescribed, but none of them were fultilied ; and the grant would have become void if Garay, during one of the crises of anarchy through whic! Mexico has subsequently passed, had not bought a ge ert ot his term from the pro tempore Dicta- | , Mariano Salas. Still nothing was done, and the war with the United States seemed to have vir- | tually destroyed the projector's schemes, when he conceived the ill-omened thought of selling his rights to an American speculator in New York. On the conclusion of ce, a company, consisting entirely | of citizens of the United States, was formed to con- | struct the railway on the terms of Garay’s conces- sion; but it received prompt notice from the Mexican government that it would not be per- mitted to proceed. Whatever, wrote the Mexican Minister, might have been the intention of his coun- | try as to an undertaking to be executed by Mexican hands, she was precluded, by every consideration of political expediencey, from sanctioning thesurrender | of the most important public work in her territory to subjects of a ok power. It was doubtful, he urged, whether Don Manuel Garay was entitied to | alienate his privileges at all; but it was certain that he could not make them over to citizens of another omens, The reasons of the prohibition were no- | = jowever, to the speculators, who appealed with to the government of the United States for protection to private interests. A protract- ed dence followed, which was iciently angry in , but singularly wide of the real ar- guments by which the conduct of each party was swayed. The Foreign Secretary at Washington, who cy ete redress of a private in- e, must have felt that he was the mere mou - piece of a cupidity which saw its advantage and | was determined not to let it slip; and the Mexican Minister, while age on the con- ditions of the grant to Don Manuel Garay, | must have chafed bitterly all the while at the | diplomatic etiquette whick forbade his saying openly | ‘that the urgency of the United States was eek Jess than the opening act of a public and undisguise conspiracy. It is probable that, had her irs pro- ceeded more prosperously, Mexico would have pro- tracted the negotiation to an indefinite length; but within the month, the temporary government, | in the Jat e of administrative decrepitude—and | not sorry, perhaps, to bequeath an embarrassing legacy to the coming dictatorship of Santa Anna— has agreed on the draft of a convention, itee- ing the control of the projected enterprise to the American company represented by Mr. Sloo. Santa Anna, however unbounded his personal ambition, and however unpropitious his star, has certainly a keen sense of national honor. It remains to be secn how far he will retrieve the error of his unfortunate oS s of a personage go sli very as Don Manuel y, and whether he will pelien ly suffer the Mex- fean States to be enclosed in a sort of noose which the American democracy may tighten at Koesath On the 6th inst., a ‘was presented in Live: Shakespeare. py of Shakspeare’s works pol to Kossuth. Mr. D. Jer- on coy sag resented Row, monial. - m came forward amid cheer- ing, and having got iT the call of the Decking, aid. sr tchiaresatees Having, upon serious consideration of time circumstances, already, before my return a America, decided not to any more putdically in England, | lost so much the ease and st; Ne aad habit of oratory, that I scarcely can forbear to feel embaraas- ed like a debutante, in venturing with my broken English once more to offend the lan, in whieh Bhakspeare wrote, and Douglas Jerrold has just harmed my ears. I fear the melody of its tunes will break at the fibres of a unwieldy tongue, like the chords of a harp under the metallic flagers of an iron hand. (‘‘No,” and cheers.) My lord, I have here received this evening a previous addition to the numerous tokens ered and smypathy to m: country with which people of different climates—dif- ferent ‘in origin, in language, in religious worship, habits, and political organization—have honored me; = worthy to adorn the national hall of new-born langary, whem once the triala of national misfor- ‘tune shall pass. ) And may I sink or may | live or die, { trust to God they will there, to stand as memorials of the | tie which united the national members | in one common family, which has | ne common Father there above. (Cheers) The y_the ot ‘works of Shakspeare—a valuable treasu: execution itself, a noble ‘spestaoen | of Eag- | of twisted imagination—(cheers)—like as Shaks- | | world is an ever flowing source of emcouragement to | doomed and executed. Was that assassination com- | there in a damp, lonely chamber, seeing neither the | of which no philosoj-hy has ever dreamt. —those bright rays which pierce triumphantly even the gloom of our too material age, ‘and the lustre of which but grows more radiant as age after age show- ers its darkness upon the grave of his mortal re- (Cheers.) Why, my lord, there are ations of such compre! ive nature attached to this gift, that though it were the gift of one single generous friend, it would deserve to be taken fora sere and valued as. my coy ihe. merit of oe gift is not compassed within these ; there is @ point yet, the chief one, the sound of which will gladden many a sad heart on the banks of the Dauube, in my far native land, and that point, my lord, is that these works of Shakspere, here, are the gift of 10,000 Eng- lish workingmen! Why, my lord, that looks like something of public opinion, 1 dare say. ere penny, ennobled by the noblest title of property, bard, | onest work, is a revelation of the people of England’s } feelings. (Cheers.) To be sure those 10,000 working- men who thus honor me, are not yet the people of Eng- land. (Cheers.) My lord, that | know; but they are from the people, bone from its bone, and blood from its blood, who but think and feel as the people does, and ‘cannot otherwise think and feel but just as the | people does; the people which, in its uncorrupted, spontaneous manitestations, was, is, and will always be the purest revelation of mankind’s divine origin— (cheers)—the people which, with its plain, natural | aspirations, often points out a better direction of | licy, and is a more reliable guide to the most earned politicians than all the contorted sophistry | peare has drawn from the limpid source of nature | more truth, more beauty, and a more instructing | Pullomcnbs than all the scholastic controversy of | jis age could have taught him. (Cheers.) No | public opinion! Why, the very fearwhich the con- tinental cespots but too clearly manifest, keeping the hangman, and their martial courts, and their hosts of spies incessantly in move, but too clearly show that there is such public opinion condemning them all over the world. They know too well that | no cause has to despair of its ultimate triumph | which the public opinion of the world supports. | Knowing the conventional rules by which, if not all, at least the European powers, are guided in their policy, certainly neither those despots do fear, nor do we expect to see England going to fight for the freedom of the world; not that is it which they fear; but they know that so long as the public opinion of the world continues to cheer up the op- pressed with its sympatby, the oppressed millions wil! never despair, because the public opinion of the them; it is the mother earth, personifted in the fable about Antwus regenerating the strength and deter- ination of the giant—the people—at every fall. (Cheers.) Yes, here I say it—and history will prove | it to be true—so long as we have the sympathy of public opinion our oppressed nations will never des- pair; and they want but not to despair, and sooner or later they will become free. ¢Cheers.) They have, not despairing, but to stand prepared to profit by the coming opportunities; and go sure as there is an all-watching Eye there above, the opportunity will not fail to come—(cheers)—and the oppressed nations, supported in their untired resolution by the public opinion of the world, will and shall become ree. Amen! (Cheers.) It is therefore that the | trembling despots resort at home, day by day, to the hangman and to terrorism, while they resort abroad to every imaginable trick and plot to arrest or to pervert the public opinion of the world. Shall I tell you a sad tale of the former kind? You remember the attempt of Libeny to assassi- nate Francis Joseph, whom men may call Emperor of Austria, but who certainly is not King of Hun- gary. (Cheers.) I certainly am not the man either to excuse assassins or to justify assassinations, though you are all taught in your universities to honor Bru- tus with the name of a hero and a patriot. I only wonder why all who justly condemned Libeny for his criminal attempt have not equal words of con- demnation for other assassinations; but that I will leave to their own conscience. However, Libeny having stricken his blow, General Kempfen sent word to the martial court that from the vast number of Hungarian political prisoners four should be des- paces immediately to Pesth to be executed there. e court martial—mark the words, gentlemen, even an Austrian court-martial—answered that, unfortu- nately, they could not furnish his excellency with the wanted victims, as it just so happened that there ‘was no prisoner condemned, or who could be con- demned, to death, all fit pene having been des- patched in due course. Well, Kempfen answered, “If you have none, I will designate four who, guilty or not guilty, shall die.” So he did. The designated individuals had already had their trial. One had been sentenced upon suspicion to ten years’ prison; Jubbal, formerly tutor to the children of my sister, to four years; and the two others equally to imprison- ment. Kempfen answered, “ Tried or not tried, that does not matter; they shall die;” and, a new special court having been patched up in haste, they have been d to frighten political assassins? (Cheers.) litical assassins, once determined to violate do not fear death. Why, therefore, renew that foul judisiary assassination to which Louis Bat- thyani, of immortal memory, fella victim in an equal manner? Why, to terrify with publie opinion at home, and to pervert wits public opinion abroad, so much are they afraid of it. But in their blind anxie- ty sometimes, happily, they choose to this effect very curious steps. 1 lived a retired life for many months. The sympathy of public opinion was still with me for my country’s sake. I was sure of it; the straight, upright, honest heart of the people of England does not charge in its moral affections like a weather- ccck; but men have, of course, other things to do than to speak always of poor down-trodden Hungary when there is no oceasion for it; and my name was | scarcely named for mouths. And they thought ‘* Now is the time—there is no public opinion more to support him—let us strike some blow at him.” Well, they wanted public opinion manifested again. (Cheers.) Here they have it—(cheers)— and can have more of it, if they lease, | without any co-operation of mine. (Cheers.} | Old England's rense of justice will do what is | right. But what is the clue to this public opinion? The name of Shakspeare carries back my memory | so far as 137. For having dared to claim my law- | ful right, I was in prison till the voice of my nation’s | universal indignation released me. For months [was | eky nor the earth, with nove of those inexhaustible | consolations which bountiful nature affords to mis- fortune and sufferings. Andthere I was without a book to read, without ’a pen to write—there I was with God, with my tranquil conscience, and with | meditation alone. (Cheers. But it is fearful to be thus alone, with nothing to arrest the musing eye. | Imagination raises its dreadful wings, and carries | the mind in a magnetic flight to portentuous regions, | I gathered | up all the strength of my mind, and bade it stop that | dangerous soaring. (Checrs.) It was done; but I got afraid of myself. (Cheers.) SolItold my jail- | ers to give me something to read. ‘‘ Yes.” answered they, “but nothing political.” “Well, give me Shakspeare, with an Lg tah grammar and a di ary; that you will take, [trust, not to be political.” | “Of courre not,” answered they, and gave it to me, and there I sat musing over it. For months it was a sealed book to me, as the hieroglyphics long were to Champolion, and as Layard’s Assyrian monu- | ments are still. But at last the light spread over | me, and I drank in full cups, with never-quenched thirst, from that limpid source of delightful instruc- | tion and of instructive delight. Thus I learnt the little English I know. But I learnt something more besides. I learnt politica. What! politics from sl re? Yes, gentlemen. What else are | litics than philosophy applied to the eovsrnivant of men, and what 1s philosophy but the knowledge of nature and of the human heart? And who ever pene- trated deeper into the recesses of these mysteries than Shakspeare did? He furnished me the mate- riale—contemplative meditation wrought out the rest. Years passed over my head—years full of strange vicissitades, which, amid their incessant, Bec song toils, have left to the patriot, to the ublicist, to the legislator, to the minister, and, at | . to the Governor occupied to defend his count againet the unjust attack of two empires—has left, say, no time, and the subsequent exile in Turkey no opportunity, to renew acquaintance with that mute, but eloquent, teacher of mine; and I really thought { had long forgotten the little of your language I learnt from him, till,on the very day when some foreign papers, with malignant scorn, told the world what | a glorious sight it would be for Lord Dudle: Stuart to carry me, on my arrival in England, from town to town, like a strange beast, and to tire out his own eloquence in introducing me to the men of England, to whom I would bow ex- pressirey, with a growling howl, like a fuli-blood ndian of the far West, not being able to utter one English word—(cheers)—on that very day,J say, landing at Southampton, my kind and generous friend, Mr. Andrews, took me, yet half sea-sick. down to the Common Council hall, and bade me answer to | the welcome I was honored with. I really shudder- ed at the task; bat the genius of myteacher had torn | ‘the veil from my memory, and the generous forbear- | ance of Englishmen bore with the unwieldiness of my ignorance. (Cheers.) Since that, in one unin | terrupted series of eight months here, and in America, | from New York to St. Louis in the west, thence to New Orleans and Mobile in the south, and back to Massachusetts, glorious by the universality of the poe s oducation, and by the people’s general wel- | fare, I had to speak more than six hundred times. [ | had to speak to city magistrates, to delegations of | cities and congregations, to the Congress of and the | Legislatazes in the United States, and to thousands of thousands of the people here and there. I had to | answer many of the most eloquent speakers of our | age, before the accomplished mastership of whom | my orations sank to atomic insignificance. I had | to speak in academic halls, where—to nse the | words of an American orator—eloqnence i« made the business of life; in vast cities, which poured out by hundred ds their people to hail ne; in those great prieies places where the rivers of ople have their confluence, and millions of freemen listened to bs stammering voice, and millions of freo- men cheered these my stammering words, till at ty; phic art—the works of Shaka shat genius which cast ite rays of insteoetion sentiments, and of heart burning de.

English working men, with a delicacy nearly border- ing on poetry, honor me with such a precious testi- mony of their eon ane rey (Cheers.) oust at We litle Engle 1 Ato compen iment count or to the foreign pronunciation which clashingly hurts the hearing of Englishmen? It is that I touched’ a chord to which there is a thrilling echo in the breast of every honestman. It is because theme was liberty, the very word ox which is enough to electrity man’s heart, and to bring tears of joy or tears of com passion to his eyes. It was because I spoke of my onnirys virtues and of its unmerited misfortune, and held up its bleeding image to the world; a theme which cannot fail to move man’s heart, to make his blood boil up with execration against tyrants, and with hatred against injustice and despotism—a theme sad enovgh to make the yey stones in the ; street to ery out for compassion and for sympathy. cheers: ‘The best thanks, in my opinion, are the pledge which I give you in the name of my beloved peo- ple, that, abiding our time, we will endure sufferings, perseeution, oppression, but we will not despair. (Cheers.) No adversities shall bend our resolution to bave our country restored to its national rights, and to see it once more independent and free. Tyrants may rage in blind fury, and decimate the patriots of Hungary; still, the oy of redress and of retribution shall come. Yes, my lord, the hangman's rope may stifle the curse on the oppresscr’s head which is mixed with the dying victim’s last prayer; but no power on earth can prevent that curse to fall down on the Suproecr's head-—(cheers)—because there is a God in heaven, and there will be justice on earth. (Cheexs.) The blood from the patriot’s heart, spilt at the tyrant’s command, may deluge the soil of our fatherland, and dogs may lick up what there was mortal in that blood; but no power on earth can revent its immortal atoms to mount to Almigthy 10d—like as the blood of Abel did mount. (Cheers.) The bodies of the martyrs may rot in the cold grave, a meat for the worms; but their immortal spirits will gather round the throne of the Eternal, praying for justice to their trodden-down native land; and there they staud, and their name is legion. (Cheers.) I see them with the eyes of my soul. (Here Mr. Kossuth looked up to heaven.) The pri- sors may be filled with new victims day by day, till thieves and felons have to be amnestied to get a place for persecuted patriots. Exiles may | be spread over the wide world, some of them corrupted by long distress, others surrounded b: by lurking spies; and the people at home, those mil. licns of unnamed demigods with immortal souls, aud with sacred aspirations in theirsouls—they may drag silently their chains, with no tears more in their eyes, its source being outwept—with no curse on their lips to be dressed in words, for ‘tis too deep. (Cheers.) All this may be done—it is—and many things beside. (Cheers.) ‘There is no power on earth to make a man love his tyrant and hate his native land—no | power on earth to make Hungary and italy not to | detest and abhor the bloody, perjurious house of Aus- | tria. (Loud cheers.) With that truth before our | Fs poe please contemptible mountebankery it is to see | the despots and their helpmates assuming that, were | it not for some so-called conspirators, Italy would love Austrian tyranny, and Hungary would get re- conciled to its unutterable sufferings and wrongs! | Conspirators! In the name of all that is sacred to man, those oppressors there, they are the conspi- rators ee: God, against humanity, against the sace of the world. It is they who make Europe | il like a volcano, and the continent quake to | the very foundation of eociety. I beseech you to read the declaration of independence of Hun- guary. I will let it be reprinted, provided it be lawful in England to print it, that it may be recalled to the memory of the world. (Laughter and cheers.) I beseech you to read it, and ther would like to see who in the face of high heay call Francis Joseph “ illustrious youth, the his people.” The hope of the people! Oh, God !—(cheers)—and we will see who it m the incorrupted and incorruptible public ion | shall call a traitor and a conspirator. Whee: Chat | conspiracy they shall never arrest. I for one declare, | in the face of high heaven, that enjoying your coun- try’s protection—(cheers)—I certainly desire to res- ct scrupulously your country’s laws—(cheers)— ut so Jong as there is life in me I will love freedom, | I will remain faithful to my fatherland, and, never despairing ot its future, continue to ‘watch with | intense interest the electric spark of Os aie fo i (cheers)—from the hands of bountiful Providence, | to catch from it the saered flame of emancipation | from the lawless epureeen which my cy is suffering. (Loud cheers.) Finally, as to those | Tecent occurrences to which your honorable | orators have alluded, I think the most proper course for me will be not to enter upon that subject on the present occasion. I believe it was due on my part to bring some facts to the Knowlene® | of public opinion; but it is equally due from me to | leave it to Englishmen to judge, to define, and to | guard English liberties. It is your part to fix the | conditions upon which England is to remain an asy- lum to political refugees; ours is to wish to know | those conditions, and shape our course accordingly, | thankfully accepting or thankfully declining to ac: cept the ooh which the institutions of England roffer to political refugees. (Cheers.) But this we cel sure, under the protection of your Parliament aud the watchiig eye of public opinion of England— that public opinion will not only protect us, but will also, with the mighty power of its sympathy, con- | tinue to encourage us not to despair of the future of our oppressed nations ; and thus I hope we will see yet that “time works wonders” even to oppressed | nations, and not only to pretenders (eheers); ‘be- cause, to use a phrase of Daniel Webster, the public ion of the civilized wurld is euch @p im; aseable, inextinguishable efemy of mere violence, op) jon, nd arbitrary rule, that, like Milton’s angels, public | ion, vital in every part, cannot, but by annihila- | tion, die. (Great applause, and cheering again and | again.) | The English Chancellor of the Exchequer in Troubtie. [From the London Times May 12.] MARLBOROUGH STREET POLICE COURT. The Right Hon. W. E. Glads‘one, Chancellor of the Exchequer, appeared in court yesterday morning to prefer a charge against William Wilson, 24 Belve- dere road, Lambeth, commercial traveller, ‘‘of follow- ing and annoying him through Princes street, St. James’, and ‘also attempting to extort money by | threatening to cbarge him with immoral conduct in the parish of St. James’.” The right hon. Pag eae stated his Sealy from the magisterial side of the court. He said:—NSir, the defendant seeing me in conversation witha young woman who was walking by my side just below Coventry street and Oxendon street, last night about twenty minutes before 12 o'clock, came oF and began to use words which I could not we understand, upon which the girl expreseed alarm, took hold of my left arm, and I told her she need not be afraid, as mcd would occur to her. The | girl told me where she lived, and I advised her to ‘o home. I walked by her side towards her | jouse, and the prisoner then addressed me by | name, and raid he would expose me. I proceeded | onward, he following, the young woman atill ex- | pressing great alarm, until we came to a door, which | the young woman said was the door of her house. I | believe this was in King street, Soho. The young | womsn then ran in, and I desired the prisoner to | leave me, which ke refused to do. I walked on, and | turned first one way and then another, to get free of him, but he kept close tome and went on talking, | stating that he admired my public character much, | had long observed me, but that he must now ex me, ond he would do this in the Morning Herald of | this day, and thus annoy the whole of the conserva- | tive party. With these threats he mingled state- | ments that he did not wish to do me any harm ; that | if I would make it right with him, or give hima gov- errment appointment in Somerset-house or elsewhere, his lips should be closed, In answer to this, being I fear angry, I charged him with being a liar, and I used more than once the expression that he should not have from me either a sixpence or a situation, and if he did not leave me I must ms op to the police for He stated he would not leave me and that he would give me in charge of the police. He then said he would be contented if I would allow him te write me a letter; to which I answered, “Sir, do exactly as you please,” repeating my former words, that I would neither give him a sixpence nor asituation. All this, with more of similar matter, was repeated again and again for some time while I | was walking on in the hope of eeeing a police-consta- ble; I raw no constable, until having on tried Regent strect, I came into Sackville street, where I saw police- constable C 187, to whom I stated my desire to be rid of the prisoner; the constable advised me to go to the station with the prisoner; I adopted the advice, and on the way to the station, the prisoner raid “I had better to accede to what he had offered, for my own sake.” I told him that any act of mine I had no wish to conceal, and that he was not justified in imputing to me the intention on which he had found- ed his claim—an intention which, if you will allow me to state, being upon my oath, I solemnly deny. Mr. Bingham asked the prisoner if he had any | questions to put to Mr. Gladstone. The prisoner replied in the negative. Inepector Parke, C division, eaid:—About a quar- ter to 1o’clock this morning Mr. Gladstone, the com- plainan¢, ‘and the prisoner, came to the Vine strect station, accompanied by Joy, C 187. The constable stated, in the hearing of both parties, that the pri- foner wanted to give the complainant into custody for enticing a female acquaintance of his away. The constable alao stated that the complainant wished him to remove the prisoner from him. The com- plainant told me in substance what he has now stated, and I took the charge. The prisoner made a statement to me, which I took down in writing, and which I now produce. Statement of Witiam Wilson :—About half-past 12 Jast night, I saw Mr. Gladstone addressing « hay of my acquaintance in Panton street. They imme- diately turned down Panton street, and walked about a yords down the first turning in that street. They then made their way across Coventry street into Princesa street, where I charged Mr. Gladstone with being in the company of the lady al- ded to. I then said I had no desire to make au exposure of one ] so much admired, and whore pub- } | Gladstone, who was one of | dicate, the budget of the current year will present | the surplus of the receipts over the expenses of last | year,and of the present one. Frankly, was there | ever a financial situation more satisfacto | height of its mission. lic character was known to be so pure and ited; and that he might take it oon means ven from one so humble as I was. I further said, i stone anid procare me a situation I would not ex- arg if not, I would communicate his con- luct to the Morning Herald newspaper. | also charged Mr. Gladstone with being with The lady in question arm-in-arm, upon which Mr, Gladstone re- torted, and called me a liar. Ultimately Mr. Glad- stone granted me permission to write him a letter re- specting a situation.” Inspector Parke, continueé—The prisoner added that he did not mind what the result might be, if it was even transportation, so long as” his name was associated with that of a pen 80 great as Mr. e greatest men of the day. Mr. Bingham—I suppose this is the conclusion of the case, unless the defendant has any questions to ask of the inspector. . Prisoner—I have no desire to put any questions. The only desire I have is to endorse the paper read by the inspector. Mr. Bingham—Is the prisoner known to the police, and has address he gave been ascertained to be correct ? Inspector Parke—He is not known to the police. The address I have been to, and it is correct; but [ could not ascertain his character, as his landlady was not at home. Prisoner—My character will bear the strictest in- vestigation. I have been a clerk; but am unfortunate- ly at present out of a situation. I have only to re- state what has been read to me, I was very much excited at the time, and am very sorry I should have been so rash. Inspector Parke—After the charge was taken the prisoner cried, and hoped Mr. Gladstone would not ress it. z Mr. Bingham—I think some farther time ought to be allowed to inquire into the prisoner's charac- ter, and I shall therefore remand him until next Friday. Mr. Gladstone then left the Court. The editor of the Z'vmes shpents the following explanatory note:—We are authorized to state that as Mr. Gladstone was retnrning home from the opera at Covent Garden, on Tuesday night, he was ad- dressed by an unfortunate woman, who earnest! begged his attention to her story. While Mr. Glad- stone, as he walked on, was listening with his accus- temed benevolence to this appeal, the woman sud- denly perceived some person approaching, of whom she seemed to entertain great Spursheoron, and clung to Mr. Gladstone apparently for protection ‘The scene then ensued which is described above. Magnificent Public Works tn Paris. m the London limes, May 10.) We read in the Moniteur the following description of the magnificent public works accomplished or un- dertaken by the municipality of Paris. We commend it especially to the consideration of every member of the Corporation of London, whether such improve- ments of their city would not be a more appropriate destination of their funds than a cumbrous and bar- baric hospitality—whether a Lord Mayor might not earn a more honoroble and essuring repute en by a great werk successfully performed than by the moat lavieh expenditure upon turtle and champagne :— “The great works which are being executed in Paris have cauged some persons to express a fear that the municipal administration will allow itself to go into an expenditure beyond its resourees. This fear is unfounded. The simple exposition of the financial situation of the city will suffice to dissipate all alarm on this head. The budget of the last year, which amounted to 48.515,000f., gave a surplus of re- ceipts overtheexpenc 000, 0008. Inthe budget 1 the estimated expenses are 47,114,000f. They be largely covered by the receipts, for the revenue { the first four mon'hs already exceeds the estimate for that period by an amount of 1,800,000f. Should this proportion continue, as everything seems to in- supa of receipts of four or five millions. In adding to that sum what remains in hand from last year, the municipal administration will have all the means necessary to meet eventualities. The extraordinary works undertaken so opportunely, and which have so powerfully contributed to the re-establishment of calm and public prosperity, amount to a considerable sum, but which, however, does not exceed the re- sources of the city. The construction of the central markets, with the expropriations which they require, and the expense for widening the neighboring streets, will cost 37,300,000f. e opening of the Rue de Rivoli, the suppression of several narrow streets, the enlargement of the Place du Palais Royal, the creation of a place in front of the Theatre Francois, and of another in front of the Church of St. Germain I’Auxerrois, and the expenses required to place the constructions in the vicinity of the Louvie in harmony with that building F. will cost . 62,650,000 which, wit markets... 37,300,000 gives a total Of..........0esssseeeereeee 99,950,000 or, in round numbers, 100 millions. But from that expense must be deducted the price of the materials of the houses taken down, and the sale of 42,000 metres of ground, 18,500,000f., and the contribution of the State, 13,500,000 32,500,000 which will reduce the charges on the cit; ba if 67,950,000 to To meet that charge the municipal ad- inistration has contracted a loan of 60 millions, which, owing to the credit of the city, produced.,............... ro which must be added for the ‘interest of a portion of that sum, deposited at the Treasury...........-ceseceeeeee 1,000,000 Giving a total of.........--.4-+-565 62,391,000 There remains, consequently, a sum of 5,609,000f. to be met ; but which will be more than supplied by 61,891,000 ? As to the debts of the city, they do not Ne yond the limits of the most severe prudence. The twenty-five millions which remain due on the loan of 1849 will pe integrally reimbursed in 1858 ; and then the debt will consist of ety the fifty millions recently bor- rowed, and from which the st will be completely liberated in 1870. The sum of fifty millions scarcely makes up one year’s revenue of the city of Paris; and what is sucha debt fora city which has in the surplus of its ordinary resources more than is neces- sary to make up the interest and sinking fund of it? The city of Paris has a revenue equal, and even supe- rior, to ceveral States of the second order. Could its administrat‘ons, without mistaking its position, allow iteelf to be eolely actuated by narrow eonsiderations? Paris is not merely a great city, but the capital of a reat yoda Lise pride themselves in marching at the ead of civilization and the arta. Its public buildings ought to respond to that idea. When a city like Paris proceeds to build, it ought to know how to join mag- nificence to utility. The nation gains by it an in- fluence in the world, and every branch of trade —_ by it. Ask thoge workmen whom foreign na- ions envy us where they have obtained that exqui- site eentiment of proportion and of art which distin- quithes them, if not in the contemplation and execu- tion of the masterpieces which Paris offers every- where to public admiration. The present adminis- tration bas perfectly understood this. While remain- ing faithful to the fst tradition left it by its pre- decesscrs, it has known how to raise itself to the Without apa 3 of the works which will transform the Bois de Boulogne, the construction of the central markets, the prolon- gation of the Rue de Rivoli, the enlargement and embellishment of the vicinity of the Louvre, the crea- tion of the'Rue de Strasburg, and the Rue des Ecoles, are emong those gigantic operations which can only be conceived and realized at a Mg epoch and by a great city. These vastenterprises have led to others which were the necessary conscquences of them. The administration has had the courageous prudence not to shrink from any of these consequences. All the streets leading to the markets, the Louvre, and tothe great arteries newly opened, hive had to be be enlarged, levelled, and embellislied, while new sewers have been constructed, on a vaster and better system. In several places the Seine has been narrowed, te afford a wider space to public thoroughfares, its bridges have been lowerd, and their irsues disengaged; every day sees the disap- pearance of inequalities of soil which offended the eye, retarded the circulation, and rendered it more painful and more dangerous; and, in a very short ime, the double line of quays which runs for two leagucs on each side of the river will be complete and rectified through all its extent. The termination of the Lonvre has been the dream of all the govern- ments which have succeeded each other since the commencement of the century. The first Empire undertook the work with vigor. The Restoration added little; the Monarchy of July had to confine iteelf to projects which failed, the Provisional government to a decree which remained a dead let- ter. To renlize such an undertaking the re-estab- lishment of confidence and the energetic will of the chief of the State were required. The Louvre ter- Minated will continve to be the palace of the na- tion, the Mag of the arts, of which the sanctuary is open to all, without distinction of class. The chief of the State only occupies therein the place necessary to represent becomingly the erry people who have placed him at their head. ‘is palace, which will soon be called the wonder of the world, required to be surrounded by constructions worth of it. The municipal administration has not beet. tated; ethan associating itself with the views of the Emperor, it has voted all the enlargements and embellishments that could be required. Maste and the Drama, M. Reichert, the Belgian flutist of the band of the Guides, has accepted an ap reg under Jullien, whem he is about, it fs said, fo accompany to America. At the late Shal rean festival af Stratford on- Avon, England, Mr. Yandenhoff made the following remarks on the present condition of the stage sion :—" As one of the ’s oldest living Ag was very sorry to say that it yas pot exbibiting that ° robust state of health which its friends could desire, and he was afraid this aroze from its not having kept stitution of setting Pog ba nd niging instead ion of e » in foreign be spiced piquant fare, ptonly en- endered a depraved appetite, caused a feeling of languor and depression, and produced a pene ee! craving for something still more piquant. He was i the town where, forty-five years ago, he first studied ‘Hamlet’ in the churchyard in which Shakspeare liee—in the town in which he received the first ‘uinea he ever earned in his profession. Five and | forty years ago he, at the age of ge played in | a barn on the other side the Red Lion, and finding | that the barn was still standing, he had gone down | that morning and respectfully doffed his hat to it. i He could not help Going s0, for he had a respect for the school in which be learned the A B C of the pro- | fession. If actors would now-a-days be content to go | to what might be called the ‘dame school,’ and learn their A B C—learning to spell before Spel fan to speak—the profession would stand a little jigher than it did at present.” . The Duke of Coburg has just composed a new opera, called “ Toby, the Poacher.” ‘The libretto ia by Mme.

So say the | Berlin journals. Gutzkow’s new tragedy, ‘‘ Philipp und Perez,” is now complete, compressed, corrected, and fit for the | stage. It will shortly be produced at Stuttgard. Mr. Aldridge is still creating a great sensation at | Pesth. The literary men, artists, and actors, have fren him a grand dinner and a valuable album. All the characters, excepting those which he represented, were given in the Hungarian language; but the | parts were se well studied that everything went off as smoothly as possible. The Magyars are so de- lighted with “ Shylock” and “ Othello,” that they have insisted on his playing “ Richard II.” On his | return to Pesth the African Roscius will play once or twice, in order that the Emperor may have an opportuuity of seeing him. ‘The King of Sweden, in record of the interest in | art taken by the late Prince Gustavus, has given | more than five hundred pounds to the University of Christiana, the interest of which is to be expended in the promotion of inusical objecte. | Two new operas have been produced at the Opera Comique in Paris ; one in two acts, entitled “ La | Lettre au Bon Dieu,” the words of which are by MM. Scribe and De Courcy, the music by Duprez, the tenor ; the other in one act, the music by M. Mont- | fort. They were both successful. A new singer, Fraulein Ney, has been received at Dresden with the greatest enthusiasm; her voice and execution were very fine. Signora Pepita Olivas, a Spanish dancer, seems to have quite turned the heads of the Berlin people, who have been sending deputations to her, praying. | for repetitions of ‘last appearances.” | A Portuguese composer, Mijore, has written an opera which is said to have been successful at Lisbon. . Aristide Hignard is the author of a comic opera, | in one act, called “ Le Colin Maillard,” which has recently been successfully produced at the Theatre | Lyrique. It has some agreeable, easy, and natural melodies, well instrumented. ‘This is the debut of | the composer, who is very young. The compiinenss recently lavished on that pleasing singer, Madame Charton-Demeur, when she took her benefit at Marseilles, seem, according to the Gazette Musicale, to have been so rich, gay, florid, and poet- | ical, as to render the catalogue worth translating— | even in these days of opera-singers’ royalty and op- | era-goers’ loyalty :— Two hundred and ten bouquets were flung from the re per boxes, in a positive shower, on the entrance of Mad- ame Charton in the two operas chosen. Forty nine bou- | oe of great diameter were launched from all parts of e houre aires the performance—then a splendid mon- umental bou of camellias made at Genoa, and fo1 warded to iHles, in a box 250 centimétres in circum. ference; lastly, eleven crowns in gold, in silver, andin | artificial fe In the first rank of these crowns must be specified that offered by the Society Trotebas—every magsive silver leaf of which bore the name of one of the lady’s favorite eharacters. More ey almost, than the maparaleiey splen- dor and taste of the above offerings, is the matter-of- fact explicitness with whieh they are enumerated, clagsed and appraised in the above paragraph. A grand gala representation of Meyerbeer’s “ Pro- | phet ” took place at the opera house, Berlin, on May | 9, in honor of King Leopold and the duke of Bra. | te Miscellaneous Items. In congequence of the determination of the Earl of Derby, the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, (the | late Chancellor of the Exchequer,) and the Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevre, the Speaker of the Eng- | lish Houge of Commons, to renounce the executor- ship of the late Duke of Wellington’s will, letters of administration were granted by the Prerogative | Court of the province of Canterbury, on the 5th | inst., to his son, the present Duke, and his grace has | since accepted the trust. The will seems to have | been written under very peculiar circumstances, up- | wards of thirty-five years ago, and with that promp- ; titude and decision which marked almost every act ; of the Into Nnke’s life, but at the same time displays | evident tracesof the agitation under which it was _ drawn up. The willis dated Veteuary 2 1818, and | ‘was written in Paris by the Duke himself, who ac- | counts for that circu! ince in the following remark, | which forms the preamble :—“ An attempt stad | been made to aseassinate me on the night of the 10t! inst., (February 10,1818,) waich may be repeated | with success, and being desirous of settling my , won dy sexe and there being no profesgio: per- son in Paris to whom I can entrust the task of draw- ing my will, I now draw it myself in my own hand- | writing.” His grace directs that an annuity of | £1,000 shall be paid to his second son, Lord Charles | Wellesley, who, however, has the option of claim- ing a sum of £20,000 as an equivalent. Apsley | houre and the furniture therein, money invested in the funds, and exchequer bills, are thus to be dis poeed of :—The money is directed to be laid out in the perch’ of an estate, which, together with Apsley house and its contents, are given to the pre- sent duke forlife, with remainder over to his issue, | and, in default of issue, to Lord Charles Wellesley and his issue, in like manner. Among some interesting parochial documents lately discovered by the church wardens of St. rat Redcliff, Bristol, England, is a receipt from Hogarth, for the price of the pictures painted by him for the east end of that church.
