The eurrent number of Punch has a capital whole-page Illustration. It represents Master Gladstohe (Chancellor, of the Exchequer) elevated upon the dunce’s stool, garmented in a bib, and screwing hts knuckle into his eye, in a lachrymose manner, while Lord Derby, wearing his Inevitable spectacles and his Earl’s .coronet, pots upon the' head'of the naughty boy a fool’s-cap marked «.Repeal Paper Duty,” which Lord D.’has prevented. ' The: common sense of the Lords not re ducing the Paper Dnty, because they be lieved that the Revenue of 1860-61 was insuf ficient to cover the year’s expenditure, has just been demonstrated by the fact that the British Ministry deipand a trifle oi $2,600,000 towards the expenses of the war with China. The illustrious “ Brother of the Sun and Moon,” who declares that Europeans and Americans are equally « outside barbarians,” declines all offers of accommodation with Eng land, and appears inclined, like Palafox, to declare “War to the Knife.” This new,war with China will be rather more than a tempest in a teapot, and will probably be a heavy tax npon the patience and pockets of John Ball, As for the paper question, it may safely ha assumed that there is an end of it. The Com mons declared that the duty upon paper, amounting to three cents a pound, should be repealed. The Lords, believing that the money conld not be spared, under existing and expected circumstances, simply declared “we will not repeal this tax.” If the Commons have the right to impose or repeal a tax, the Lords have an equal right to confirm or to re ject It. Pretended “London Correspondents,” in various American papers, repeat the cuckoo note of Brioht and Company, that the Lords reftue to repeal the paper tax, from a desire to prevent the establishment of a, cheap press in London. These wiseacres, writers on this side of-the water, evidently are ignorant of the fact that, for the three last years, there have been three first-class daily papers* in London, price two cents a copy, namely, Tht Telegraph, the tforning Star, and the Evening Standard. The Repeal of the Paper Duty would scarcely eventuate in the establishment of a fourth cheap daily journal in London. The Chinese war will probably causa an out lay of many millions sterling in the next twelve months over and above the Government esti mates of 1860. Were the truth known, Mr. Finance-Minister Gladstohe most be sincerely indebted to Lord Debbt and the Peers for not reducing $7,600,000 of paper taxation. Oi conrse, all this is unintelligible to “special correspondents,” who date where and whence yon please, but generally write their letters in sky-parlors in New Yrirk and Philadelphia. They only look darkly through such a glass as the English press holds up. Independence* of Sicily. We have European news to the 7th of this month. There are only tw* noticeable points in it: First, that Lord Jobe Russell in tended to .carry the Reform Bill this session— even while confessing that' Scotland and Ire land must now he. wholly left oht of the pro gramme ! and, next, that Sicily is all but snb jected to the power of Garibaldi. As for the Reform BUI, we said, six months ago, that, like pie-crnst and ladies’promises, jt was made only to be broken. Bnt the case' of Sicily is far different, and much better. The last accounts represent Gaeibaxbi in possession of the greater part of Palermo— the Neapolitan troops feebly holding out, some of them with the Sicilians, boldly join log Garibaldi's army, the Clergy preaching against the Neapolitan rule,, and the . army of the Bourbon tyrant submitting, at last, to be deported back to Naples. At aU events, Garibaldi holds his own. In all probability, long ere this meets the eye, Neapolitan role will have been' wholly beaten down in Sicily.

[j>SIPATO9SS TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] Baltimobßi Jane 18.—The DemocratiojiafatfnAl con vention Mumbled at the Front-street Theatre, at 10 o’clock this mormog. in pursuance of the resolution of adjournment adopted at Charleston. The stage was thrown baok to »ta utmost extents and platforms were erected aeon it for the President end Vioe Presidents.with alow platform in front forth* secretaries and reporters. . ..... ■ The pArqaette wo# boarde.d over so as to be level with ttaatue, Thb .low** hoies.were.teUtved for ladies, ana the two upper tiers for the aeneial 1 public, admis sion being gained only by tickets. l„ • ■ The theatre vu not entirely filled at the morning session, but presented a handsome appearance, The usual bareness of the sides and roof of the stage was concealed by the liberal drapery of flag*. The stage and parquette m Front ol the platform were reserved for the delegates and the seats were well filled. , . , Bome of the seats having become vacant, the Presi dent decided not to pass upon the right of the new dele gates to seats, not having issued tloketa to those States unrepresented at the adjournment of the Charleston Convention. At II o'clock the President oalled the Convention to order. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rev. John MqCron. an Episcopal minister of Baltimore. On oalling tue Convention to order. . . Mr. Cushing, the President, stated that the hour of Seetm* agreed upon at the adjournment had passed; it as it was understood that a misunderstanding had Sotitred as to the hour of meeting, some supposing it be at florin to-day, instead of 10 o’clock, he would direct tHO roll df States to be ealled, in orderto ascertain ff all were prds&at. <•' , The roll was then called. i JUI the delegate* entitled to seats Were found to be present, except & ponton of .the delegations from Penn sylvania, Conneotiotit. and Delaware. ..Senator Saolsbnry, of Delaware, stated that some of the delegates from that Btate yrere present, but had not admission delivered to them, and were \jhair stated that tickets had been delivered to the .sergeant-at-Arms to hand to the ohairmenof the respective delegations. He supposed Drat this had been done in every instance, since all the delegations were represented on the floor who had been represented at Charleston, at the time ofaajournaeot. Mr. Saulsbnry moved that all the members of the Charleston Convehtion be admitted to the floor by the President.' , - - The President. The Convention has not yet been re gularly called to order, and no motion is yet in order. ■ Mr. Pennington. of Delaware, said that the motion of bis oolieasue bad not been properly understood. He desired only the admission of those delegates who were Bresent8 resent at the adjournment of the Charleston Conven or Mr. McCook, of Ohio, asked if the chairman of the delegation bad reoeived the number of tiokets to whioh hewn* entitled. Mr.Saulsbuiy said the majority of the Delaware dele gation had remained in the Charleston Convention, and resolved to stay as long as honor and. good faith controlled the notion of the Convention. [Applause He said ho had no sympathy with the quarrels of his delegation, but he desired only to know where his colleagues were to apply for admission. He had only arrived in town early this morning, and found a difficulty S raising any information. .The president said that e difficulty appeared to be simply In the foot that the deleeationhed not arrived until fato to-day, and were ignorant of the fact that notion wm given yesterday where the ohairmenof the delegations were to receive tiokets of admission >ll entitled to seats would be supplied with tiokets by the serge ant-at’arms. / Mr. Howard, of 'J'enneeeee, desired to offer a resolu tion whioh would settle the question as to all tbs seats in the Convention. ■Mr. Ludlow, of Now York, raised the point of order that the Convention was npfc yet regularly convened. The President {molded the point well taken When it wa* ascertained what delegations were present, the Conventionwodld.be formally convened, and amotion would then be sustained. The roll-call being completed, and the abient dele gates having appeared and tnkf n their seats, tbs Con vention was formally oalled to order, and an opening praver delivered. tJMr. Cushing then addressed the Convention as follows: SPEECH OF PRESIDENT CUSHING. Gentlemen of the Convention ; Permit me. in the firs plaoe. to congratulate you upon your being reassemble: here for the discharge of your important duties in the interest of the Democratic party of,the United States; and I beg leave, in the seoond plaoe, to communioate to the Convention the state of the various branches of its busmen, m they now oome up for consideration before you. .Prior to toe adjournment of the Convention, two prindipalsubjeqtaof notion were before it. One was the adoption of the dootrinAl resolution* constituting the platform of the Convention, and the other voting Spon the question of the nomination Of a qandidato for re Presidency. Intheoonmot’adiscussionof the ques tion of a platform, the Convention adopted a vote, the ef feot of whioh wastoamend the reporter tbemajontyof the Committee on the platform (by substituting the report ofthe minority of that oommittee: and after the adop tion of that motion, and the substitution of the minori ty for the majorit report, a division was oalled for upon tee several resolution* constituting that platform, being five in number. The first, third. Fourth, and fifth of those resolutions were adopted by the Convention, and the second was rejected. A fter a vote on the adop tion of the first and third and fourth and fifthof those resolutions, a motion was made in each case to recon sider the vote, and to, lay that motion, for the recon sideration, upon the table: but neither ofthese motions to reconsider or to lay on the table was put, the puttiog ofthoee motions having been prevented.by the inter vention Of a question of privilege, and the ultimate vote competent in suoh case, to wit: of the adoption of the report of she majority as. amended by the report of the minority, and the ultimate question had not-been acted upon by the Convention, to that at the time when the Convention adjourfied there remained pending before it these motions, to wit: to reoonsider, to adopt the resolutions constituting the platform, ana the ulterior question of adopting the majority, as amended by the substitution of the minority report. Thorn ques tions and those only as the Chair understood the mo tions before the Convention, were not acted upon prior to the adjournment. Auer the disposition of the inter vening question of privilege, a motion was made by Mr. MoCook.ofOhio, t<> proceed to the vote for candidates for President «and Vfoe President. Upon that motion the Convention instructed the Chair—not, as has been erroneously supposed in the recess of the Convention the Chair determining for the Convention, but the Con vention instructing the Chair—to make no declaration of a nomination exoept upon a vote equivalent to two thuds in the Elector** College ofthe united States, And npon that balloting no suoh vote being given, thatorder was, upon motion of the gentleman from Virginia. (Mr. Russell,) laid on the table, for the -purpose of enabling him to propose a motion, whioh he subeequenUy did. that the Convention adjourn from the city of Charles ton to the oity of Baltimore, and with a provision con cerning the filling of vacancies embraced in the same resolution, which resolution the secretary will -please to read. The secretary read tho resolution as follows: Resolved, That, when this Conventions adjourns to day it adjourns to reassemblwat Baltimore, Maryland, on Monday, the eighteenth day of June, and that it be • respectfully recommended to the Democratic party o' the several States to take prdvision for supplying al vaoanoies in their respeotivedelegationstothisCqn vention when it shall reassemble* * The Convention will thus peroeive that the order adopted by it provided, among other things, that it if respeotfolly reooaimeaded to the. democratic party of the several States to make provision for supplying al. vacancies in their respective delegations for ibis Con vention, when it shall reaeeambie/ what i* the con struction ia a question not for the Chair to determine or to suggest to the Convention, but forth* Convention itself to determine. However that may be, in the pre paratory arrangement for the present assembling of this Convention, there were addressed to the Cnatr the credentials, of members eleoted, or purporting to be affirmed, ana confirmed, by the original Conven tions. and accredited to this Convention, la three of these easel, or perhaps four, 9 the credentials were authentic and complete, presenting no question of controverting delegates. In four others, to wit the States of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Delaware, there were contesting applications. Upon those applications the Chair was called to determine whether it possessed any power to determine primi faete membership of this Convention That question was presented in its roost absolute and complete form m theoase of ".ississippi, where there was no oontest either through irregularity of form nr or competing delegations, and so also in tho oases of Florida, Texas, and Arkansas, ffl those four States, there being an appa rent authentic, naked, abstract question whether he had power, and preliminarily to determine the prima fade membership of th* alleged members of this Convention, the Chair would gladly have satisfied himself that he had this bat upon examining the sourcaof hts power, to wit: the Ruins of the House of Representatives, he was unable to discern that.he had any authority even j>rfma/acts to scrutinize and canvass the credentials, although they were suoh as upon their faoe wero free from oontest,or controversy, either of form,or sub stance, and therefore, he deemed it his duty to reserve the determination of that question to be submitted to the Convention;:and tn do* time the Chrir will.pre soutthat question as oue of privilege to this body. And now. gentlemen, having thus.presented to you the exaot stats of the question pending or involved in the notion of the Convention when it adjourned the Chair begs lotve only to add a single observation of a more general nature, we assemble here now st>» time when the enemies of the Demooratlo party, when, le me say, the enemies of the Con*titution.of the Unite: tstates are in the field lapplause], with their selected leaders, with their banners displayed, advancing to a combat with the Constitution, the interests of the De mocratic party or the United States;and upon'you, gentlemen upon your action, upontyonr spirit of har mony, upon your devotion to the Constitution, upon your solicitude to maintain the interests, the honor, ant the integrity of the Demoqratio party, as the guardian of the Constitution—upon you, gentlemen, it depends whether the issue of that combat is to be viotory or de feat, for the .Constitution of the United (States. [Re newed applauso.J ' It does not becoue the Chair to disoussauyof the question* or the elements of the questions- It may be permitted, however to exhort you ra the spirit of our community, of party mtoreits. in the faith of our com mon respect fortre Constitution, ip the sens* or our ooramon devotion to the interest and honor of our coun try; I saj to exhort you to foel that we oome hqrethi* day not to determine any mere technical questions o form, not merely to gain personal o; party triumphs, but that we are come her? in the exeroise of 4 nays—New York oastingX votes in the negative.

He proceeded to enlarge upon the nebt* of the seceding delegations, to exhort to conciliation and harmony in the action of the Convention, and to appeal to the patriotism of th© party to unite against the common foe. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, was opposed to the mo- 1 lotion because it sought to let i nto the Convention dele gates from Florida, who were net delegated to this Con vention at all.

The proposed investigation could not coniome much time, and he repeated it shou’d be made in justioe to all parties. He should not be drawn into a notioe of any issues not directly pertaining to the question immediately before them. Mr. Cochrane, of New York, said this question was not one of the admission of new delegates, ft was of far graver import A portion of toe seats on this floor were vacafrt, and the question prises, why are-they tkns vacant ? The question alto arises, was there a Justifi cation, or, u not a justifi r n ion, Was thereon excuse for the secession that bad left a portion of the seats here unoooupied ? However this might be decided, he deemed it well for the Convention to seek to Call back their emng brothers. He Wa* not favorable to either of the resolutions as they stood. He was unwil ing to place any obligation on the returning delegates Chat could call a blush to their oheejrs or cause a pam to their heartj. But it should he rememfcreq that sum terms were placed upon the delegates from New York upon a former occasion, and there might be swne ex cuse for its now being offered by New York. Yet, he ooofd assure ibe Convention that New York wiNld always be found as she had hitherto been found, on th? side of liberality a* d Justioe. Mr. Bussell, of Virginia, said that he had. at a former period of the session, felt anxious to Address the Con vention. He felt.less anxious sow, because the vote taken at the morning session gave promise ofadtsire on the part of the majority, to secure harmony of ac tion that could not fail to lead to a happy union on prin ciples and a candidate. But at a proposition had been made to impose those terms on the,seceding delegations, he might say a few words' on tbs question. Virginia was here* emphatically, as she had been at Chariest'n. to harmonize the action of the Demooraoy- She hsd seen a rule adopted easowenng the votes to be east-in a manner which she considered unfair to the delega tions. Bhe had seen a platform voted down which her whole people desired, and one Adopted to whioh they were oppotod. They hsd seen eixhtstateeof the South go out of the Convention, and had yet remained present. Could she give any better proof of her devotion to the Democracy of the North ? But she desired to say now that she was equally devoted to the Demooraoy of the South. If true to the North, should she not also be true to the sunny South, united as she was with the Southern States by a unity of interests and sentiment*? *-he meant to see fair play between the Demooraoy both oi the r'orth. and South. And what was fur plav i In the opinion of Virginia it was tbst all the State delegations accredited «t Charleston should be admitted to this floor. Bui tie did hot desire to press this upon the Convention. At least/how ever, the delegations not oonteeted should be admitted at onoe without any delay, and the eontested delega tions shoujd then be referred to a oommittee. Be on) led the attention of the gentleman from Illinois who bad madetheonjeotionto the admission of the delegatee whose seats were unepntested, to the faet that at .Charleston the Illinois delegates^themselves were ad mitted although their seats were ooutested. He was m favor of admitting ell nneonteated delegates'at once, and then referring the contested seats to a oommittee. As to imposing any rest notion or pledge ep the manly senti ments of the gentleman from Pennsylvania it was very offensive in his ears, t l-ausliteranu applause.] Mr. Montgomery said that he was aocustsmed to this thing- He had heard the hisses of a mot>m Charles ton when one man from the State of South Carolina hnd dared to remain in tbe Convention and speak his senti ment#. He, had heard a storm of h>sses come down from tbe gauettQß upon him. while the thunder of ap plause rolled forth at the disunion sentiments of ano ther delegate. The President said, at Charleston, in the instance alluded to, a motion had been made to olear the galleries, and it had not l*een done because the gentleman himself who was hissed had r» quested it might not be done. Mr. Montgomery well. I request that it may not be done now. [Laughter and applause.] After some further debate, Mr. Montgomery contin ued his remarks. The men who now asked to return to their seats in this Convention had not only withdrawn mCha leston, but hod satin an opposition Convention there, side by sido with this Convention. The* had tjien met m Riohtnondin a hostile Convention, and they hold that Convention now in terrortm over the heads of this body,and threaten to return there if this Conven tion does not act as they desire. He appealed to the principle and to the manhood of the Convention to say whether they have the nxht to admit the seoeders. when they had oslled neon tbe Btate« to meet and fi 1 the vaoanoies. He had beard much said about the evils of disunion. Bo\vss not only opposed to dis union, but to those who favor disunion and preach dis union, He was opposed to secession from the Union, and from the Convention as well. When he heard men dsolare themselves opposed to the principles or tbe party, ho thought it very necessary to requ re a pledge from them to abide by the notion of the Convention, Such a pledge had a precedent in the Conventions of the party. It hnd been imposed on oertain delegates at the lut National Convection, and the gentleman from New York (Mr. Coobrane) who had alluded to it felt the pinch of |ho oase. Mr.Bwing,of Tennessee desired to frnowwhst the Convention meant. Have they no enemy >n front! Have they an* States to spare ? Any Btates to give up to tho enemy ? If so, he did not knowof it. Ho thought they were pressed by an advancing enemy, constancy growing more formidable, until they are now almost re sistless, and 7®* we hear sentiments calculated to ex olte animosity on both sides of the bouse, and to widen the breaoh. He destred earnestly tosee the Democracy r 'resenting a united front, and fighting, not their own needs, but the Republican party. Ha would, there fore, use no words of bitterness. it had been said that there were no contesting delegations from Mississippi, Florida, and Arkansus, and nothing official was known of any oontest. , Mr. Clpibomo, of Missouri, stated that there was a contest m Arkansas, and that information of tho faot had been sent io the President of tbe Convention. Mr. Ewing resumed did not desire to pause and inquire what were the facts in regard to Arkansas. But if there is any real oontest there, then »t»ke that State out, end admit Florida. Mississippi.and Texas There wasnooon'estin these States, and no reason whythey should be left out. These r fates aie wanted, while they are left out Questions of moment, in whioh they are interested, are being acted on. Why should they be harshly spoken of, and driven fartherand farther away i The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Montgomery) spoke of these aeoeding delegates as though they were tractors; but, he would say, the South does not regard them as such. „ m . , The South believes that if the majouty of the North adopt principles which the Southern States cannot with honor endorse, it is competent and honorable fog these States to withdraw, and sat to the Convention, select year candidates, and wo will see what we oan do. He was not in favor of secession, and had earnestly pro tested against it, end exhorted the Southern states sot to secede. His constituents would not justify him in suoh notion, and aa a life-’ong Demoorat he believed that the safety of tho lives and property of the South depended upon (be preservation of the National Demo cratic pa-tv. He concluded by exhorting tbe Conven tion to strike out the Mate of Arkansas and admit at least all the States who e seats are unoontested at once. The President begeed permission, m response to the request of Mr. Claiborne, of Missouri, to read a parer in relation to the Arkansas delegation. The paper was not that sent up by Mr. Ru*t, which on inquiry it ap pears hnd not bees received bv the Chair. The. President also gave 'no ice of an offer of the Washington Railroad Company to run a speoial train to the Capitol, at loo’niook to-night, U some sixty dele gates desired to go. [Laughter.) Mr. Lomu, of MnißAohusctis, rose for tho first time m the Convention, having been prevent d by a severe do mestioafflictiou from attending at Charleston. He was surprised to hear any allusion made hostile to the so oalled seceding delegations, and to find en opposition made to the admission of oertain States to a Democratic Convention. He found that certain i tates. standing upon what they believed to he their constitutional rights. |had retired from the Convention. He repudi ated the Idea of their being, therefore, deprived, of the right to return. The Coiwention.should gladly welcome [hem book. Ho heard with surprise.'for the first time in a Democratic Convention the talk of sections of the country and the party;- He thought that such talk and such sentiments were confined to another organiza tion. He denied the right of the Convention to impose a pledge on any of tho delegates. Would those who pro posed it like the doctrine to be applied to themselves? [Loud onrsot '* Yea! yes, we wculd!”} ■ , Mr. Lorimr. Then he could only add that if the pro position made here to day to exolude Florida, because she had not again credited her delegates here, was ear ned out. tie would himself withdraw from the Conven tion, flnd not be soen iu it aisin. [Loud applause.] Mr. Merrick, ot ill noia.smd that the State of Illinois was prepared to abide by the action of the Convention, and recognized the right that every man should be simi larly bound in honor. He could only say to the gentleman from MnseachusettsfMr. Lonng) if his threat was oarried out. there would be bnt one Seceder roo*e. The delegates who leordtd at Charleston bad withdrawn because, as the* say. their honor demanded it. He could recognize no right br which they could now claim seats in the Convention. J f M issisflippi had no contestants, they were accredited also to another Convention, and that was not a good commission here. He argued against the right of any delegates owing n double allegiance, and acting with a rival Convention, to taka aeata upon the floor and aot with this Convention in itadeliherstions. If the contest must come, he was wililng that it shou’d be met now. Mr. Samuels, of lowa, asked tho Chair If nny docu ment was in ids bands from Florida delegates’ claiming seats in the Convention ? - . I'be President. There was banded to the Chair only a newspaper Containing the official proceedings oi the Florida Convention, Mr. Samuels.

The questions before the Convention now stand a« follows: Mr. Howard, of Tennessee, made the original Aofioa-- dircotmjE the sergeant-at-arms to admit tolhe OWtfen tioo all the delete tes accredited to the Charleston Con' verities. Mr. Cburoh, of New York, niovedto amend by refer ring alttbe dams for admission to the Convention to the Committee on Credentials, and to request them to report, as soon as practicable, the names of the verson* entitled to admission; with tae proviso that all the dele sates accepting seats m the Convention are bound in honor and good faith to abide br the aetion of the Con - vvnben/sßd to sueport its nominees. 1 hlr. 6Hmore»of Pennsylvania, moved to amend the amendment by resolving that the delegations from Ar lcansas,,M>HiMippi,Florida.and Texas beatoncead nutted.to the Convention, and that the contested seat* ot the other seceding states be referred to a Committee on Credential to be selected br each State. - "' The. previous ancstion is oallsd on theUsfcamem)' ment, and the oau has been seooaded. The motion at the meeting of the Convention wilt be. Shall the previous question be now pot f There is a probability that-the question-will be or de*ed; that Mr. Gilmore’s amendment will be voted down: that a division will be called oa Mr Chureh’e Amendment, and that the first part of it wHI be adopted, without the proviso respecting a pledge. * It looks now as tbonsa thp -vote or New York would decide in favor of the admueion-of the • Southern dele gations generally where there is no contest,,a*d of both delegations where a contest exists.* ,j The chances still appear to favor a harmonious tarmi - nation of the Convention, as New York evidently holds the entire balance of power, and seems iikpjr to favor some sort of a compromise. MEETING AT MONUMENT BCiUAUE. There is publin speaktn? in Monnment Square to night Largo numbers are present, and listening with attention to the most ablo efforts of prominent Demo orate.

Although he wasoppoeed to the trade, he desired that the United States only io tajfered between this country and A fric t, Mr. COLLAMER, of Vermont, said he would vote for more steamers to suppress the slave trade and thought the only way to prevent it was to step the shipping of them on the
