An interesting presentation was made at the irlayiltans (Maimbeeter) Cookie; DepOt on Saturday, to Mr. Pender, LP., by the working men who had been Lmedted by the selabliehroent. The depot, which was set 00 foot by Mr. Pinder, has been completely successful in afford ing good, wholesome, and cheap meals to working men.

The work ing arrangements were thoroughly explained by Mr. Ram' mill, the engineer, sod trains of can were rapidly propelled backwards and forwards through the tube. The cars nos tamped heavy weights, being principally loaded with stout planks, and ow the signal being given by Wheatstone's tele graph, they were despatched to the other end of the tube, with pressure at the disc of about four ounces, in a few second, over a minute—the average up the incline being about 1 min. 12 sera. The mail bags, upwards of 12) par day, will be blown through the tube in 35 seconds to the Post-office in Eversholt-street ' • the usual time occupied by the mail carts being at present about 10 minutes. Two per. sons were conveyed yesterday, in the presence of the Poet office authorities, through the tube, and returned without experiencing the sligh test discomfort. Having fully examined the operation of blowing the cars from Euston, the visitors proceeded to the station at the other end of the tube. This is situated underground beneath the roadway of a small turning leading from Eversholtatreet, earl is close by the side of the North Western District Poet-office. Here the interesting operation of 'ending the oars heck to &ace was explained I,y Mr. Remind!, and two can having been viand within about a foot of the open tube, a vacuum was created and they were drawn with a rush into the tube, the small station reverberating with the sound of the receding train. On leaving both the visitors expressed their satisfactioa with the entire working of the system.

THE GREAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP.—The directors of the Great Eastern, on the return of that vowel from New York, deemed it their duty to hold an investigation into the cimumetiumes coder which she met the aceideot off Montauk, is the latter part of August lass. The result has been the entire acquittal of Captain Patou from all blame. The following is a copy of the letter addressed to him by the 1 compeer :—•• Gnat Ship Company (Limited), Liverpool, Jan. 26, 1863.—Captain Paton, Commander Steamship Great Esters,—Dear Sir, —The directom, as you are aware, having considered it their duty to ievestigate the circum stances attending the accident to the Great Fasters off Moatank Point, ou the morning of the 27th August last, mat ou board the ship on the 211 inst. for the purports of holding the inquiry, sad in which they were kindly assisted by Mr. H. C. Chorines, Lloyd's agent at this port.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS BY THE OPPOSITION IN THE LEGISLATIVE OORPS. (not on °wit oomeropraire.) PARIS, WNW Emma. The five independent members of the Corps Le gislatif—M.M. Jules Fevre, Henan, Darimon, Picard, and Emile 011ivier—have presented the following amendments to the address : To peregraph 2—General Policy. The rigit to elect implies the right to know, to discus; to Mg, end, by come:mace, liberty. Sines the decree at November 24 the word liberty Is constantly pronounced imagist speeches ; but iu reality the practices of the govern ment have not changed. It oontlaues to interdict all indi vidual initiative, all free diectianoti, all independent mud 'that life. It is prodigal of warnings to journals even when they do not attach t4se principle of the govaterrent, end it, at the seine time, sever amen to exercise a alas destine pressure upon them. Tim dignity of the nation requires that this cooilvffilika Whew weds and eilitiamid maw • Either.

W;adrarethe heroism of oar soldiers fighting in Mexico in a deadly climate, and we send them our most sympathetic wishes. Bat regard for the national honour does not re- UM a political assembly from the duty of expressing an opinion upon an enterprise the causes and consequences of which it is now able to appreciate. The forme of Francs ought not to be rashly engaged in ill-defined adventurous expeditions ; and neither our prin ciples nor our interests require that we should go to Mexico "to see what government the Mexican people desires to have." To paragraph 6—Rome and Italy. Rome no more belongs to the catholic than it does to the Italians ;It belongs to the Romans. Our occupation ought not, therefore, to continue. This is a case for the application of the doctrine of non•iotervention, which is nothing else than respect for national sovereignty, the only legitimate foundation of governments. The negotiations now going on at Rome are not rerione and will come to nothing, since the Pope solemnly declares that his conscience prevents him from making any conces sion so long as those provinces, the restitution of which the Preach government bu always refused to ask for, shall not be teetered. Its beyond doubt that the independence of the Holy See should be immured; but in this, as in all other matters, liberty is the only solution at once digni6ed and practical. The catholic religion should not fear a regimen under which the church, separated from the state, would obtain, just like any other faith, liberty within the limite of common right, in place of cmoordats and disguised servitude. To paragraph 8-43oalitious. The new principle.' sanctioned by the treaty of commerce involve aa a just consequence the right of workmen as well u masters to discuss the rate of wages freely ; the chums of the penal code against coalitions ought to be repealed. To paragraph 9—Paris sad Lyons. . . We persist in claiming for the cities of Paris and Lyons the application of the principle of common law, in virtue of which no tax can be established, and no expense autho rised, without the vote of the taxpayer, or their represen tatives. The smallest commune camtot be subjected to an extra tax without the conseot of an elective municipal council and ,the principal tax-payer,. Paris and Lyons, whose budpta are equal to Woe of use statu s hays no other 'peat cities may have 'a-a elective and independent municipil conned. To porovaph The populatiooa will at length understand th►t it is im portant for them to be represented by delegates chose. independently of the will of that government which they are to restrain and control. The right to apportion the electoral districts does not justify the administr►tion in lumping together distant cantons and cutting up arrondissements and towns for the purpose of facilitating administrative action and changing existing districts with the view of withrawing the deputy from his natural judges. Neither is it the function of mayors to augment or diminish the somber of electors at their pleasure, by striking off votes in great num bers, and impeding new registrations, so as, besides govern ment candidates, to create a class of government electors. We therefore ask that the decree of December 29 may be revised, and particularly that, instead of the city of Paris being deprived of one deputy, it may be enabled to return a number proportionate to the increase of its population. The importance of these spirited amendments will recommend them to your attention without any commentary. Here you way see what independent and enlightened Frenchmen really think of the present state of affairs. The nauseous platitudes of the valets of the Senate and the government press, which have been the staple of French news for the last few days, can only mislead those who receive them as the expression of national opinion. In the English language the expression " a unani mous vote," does not, I believe, admit of any am biguity. It means a vote nem. con—a vote not con tradicted by even a single voice. The dictionary meaning of the French word unanimitf is the same ; but in loose parlance it is sometimes used to express an overwhelming majority. It is in this incorrect sense that the Emperor was pleased to use the word when complimenting his obsequious Senate upon their vote on the address. He took no account whatever of the single "no" of his cousin, the Prince Napoleon—the only liberal senator who had spirit enough not to eat his words of last year, on the Roman question—and called the vote of the Senate " unanimous." You will observe that the Mooiteur says not a word of the check received at Tampico. Some particulars of this are, however, given in Bullier's C wrespondence, which, in a letter dated Tampico, Dec. 28, states as follows : The tranquillity which the French garrison at first en joyed here has been troubled for the last fortnight by un expected attacks. The Mexican troops which evacuated Tampico when we approached, probably went to seek for reinforcements. They reappeared on the 12th, and pounced 'moo four of our soldiers quite close to the town. Colonel dela Omegas sent • column of cavalry (3rd African Chu mps) against them, which came up with them on the 19th, near Alt•min, and put them to flight. •While this column was at Altamira, • very numerous Mexican force, with artillery and cavalry, appeared suddeoly before Tampico, having debonehed from Pueblo. Viejo. a village six kilome tres distant. Five hundred men were immediately sent in that direction. The firing began on the evening of the 220 d, mid listed till the next morning. The gunboat& lent useful aid in this affair. The commandant of t►e flotilla, Lieut. Cordotum, showed extraordinary courage and ability. The shallop oa which he was having grounded within • few yards of the enemy, VIM • target for his shots during the whole night. This boat lost one man killed and ten wounded. On the first news of the arrival of the Methane our cavalry column was recalled from Altamira. It suc ceeded is getting to Tampico on the gird, but not without having been attacked several lima on the way. It, how. ever, repulsed these attacks, and even took sixty horses from the Mexican. Since these rencontree the enemy's force seems to be increasing, and scarcely • day parse with out our being Bred upon. In consequence, our garrison, which was to have been reduced, is to be reinforced, and two additional gumboots are vent for.

General Bazaine had occupied Peyote after some few unimportant engagements, in which the enemy " learnt to its coat the valour of the French cavalry." General Marques, who had previously joined General Bazaine, marched from Orizaba *About being disturbd, General Douay encamped upon the plateau of Anahuac, remained upon the defensive, and confined himself to protecting the crops and the villages around. A column under Colonel Jolivet, while on its way from Orizaba to Palmer was at tacked on the 21stDeoember by strong det achments of guerillas and Mexican Lancers, who fled to Tch uacan and disappeared, after attempting several times to rally. On the following day the French troops took possession of Tchuacan, which the enemy evacuated after exchanging a few shots. "The health of the troops is excellent," adds the Moniker. " Upon the plateau principally the climate appears very healthy, and all the ailing and 'convalescent are sent there in succession. The feeling of the people improves also by degrees. Confidence in us seems to establiah itself, espe cially upon the plateau. In several localities the inhabitants have returned to their homes, and are preparing means of resistance in their villages to the violence of the guerillas." The official journal says, in conclusion :—" The question of provisions becomes more and more simple : at Orimba and at Cordova there are provisions for a month ; upon the plateau the troops live upon the country : the destruction of the crops is far from having been carried out to the extent at first feared, and the movement of the troops beyond Palmer inspired hopes of fresh re- I sources.

It has been announced by many of our contem poraries that the 12th of March has been decided on for the marries of the Prince of ►ales, but the statement is pre mature, and almost as certainly lacono* inasmuch as it remains with the Danish court to Ix the day, and no inti mation as this point has yet teethed this country. Ac cording to present anticipations it is expected that the marriage will Wm place either on Thursday, the sth, or tuesday, the 10th of March, but the matter is still un settled.

In the little chapel of Sir Reginald Bray the musical performers will be stationed. With the shawl of the Knights of the Garter there can be very little tampering in the way of temporary erections. Each seat, properly subdivided, would accom modate— we had almost said three ladies, but certainly two, even dressed in the widest amplitude of the present fashion. Besides, the Knight' of the Garter have a right to their stalls on all occasions, and pre-eminently so when the chief of the Order—the Sovereign—is present at any ceremonial in the ehapel. The stalls of the knights, therefore, are to be left untouched, and all can take their seats on this occasion, from the last and newest knight up to the senior of the order. On the space now occupied by the communion rails • raised dais is to be erected and covered with the richest carpeting. On this the ceremony will be performed. On the left side of the alter, between the termination of the knights' stalls and the private tan trum to the chapel from the castle, • small block of seats will be erected for 33 visitors, and on the mimed dais the immediate members of the English and Danish royal families will be seated, her Majesty, with the royal family and illustrious foreign guests to the number of 14, on the right, with the remainder of the chosen guests end members of the royal bride's family to the number of 12, on the left. Behind the station for our royal family will be a mind black of mats rising tier over tier, to so oommodate the diplomatic body, who, with their ladies and first attaches, will be present to the number of 100. Out side the west door of the chapel, on the green between it and the horse-shoe cloisters, a very large temporary build ing has been begun. This structure, though of wood and purely temporary, will be decorated in the inside in the most exquisite style. This will contain a fine central hall 60 feet long by 40 broad, mid 25 feet high, in which the procession, to pass up the nave of the chapel, will be mar shalled and arranged by the deputy chamberlain as the mem bers comprising it arrive from the Castle. Built out from this ball, and entirely enclosing it on every side will be • series of smaller rooms, 20 feet loos by 20 broad. On the north aide will be one for the bridesmaids, one for the bride, and one for the royal princesses.

Visitors to witness the procession up the neve of the chapel will also, we believe, arrive here, and be conducted to their seats In the nave. The more select few who will be honoured with invitations for the chapel itself will pro. bably have • separate entrance allotted to them. The ambassadors and their suites will assemble in the Wolsey Chapel, and thence be conducted by the chief master of the ceremonies to their places on the right of the altar. The bridal procession will pees in state carriages from the private apartments of the Castle to the carriage entrance we hare spoken of as giving admission to the temporary building outside the west door. Hers, while the procession 1 formed and arranged, the bride and bridesmaids and the bridegroom and his attendants will remain iu the ramp- Mon rooms set apart for them. Her Majesty will enter the chapel by the private way, and on her arrival the proces sion will move forward up the temporary hall through the nave to the altar. Am customary, the bridegroom's proem aka will move first, so that on the arrival of the bride's I cortege at the altar the marriage may be at once proceeded with. The mayor of Gravesend has received from Viscount Sydney, Lord Chamberlain, a reply to a com munication addressed to his lordship by the corporation, respecting the arrangements to be carried out for the recep tion of the Primer Alexandra On her disembarkation at that port from the royal yacht. it states that u soon as the period of arrival of her royal highoess is decided ;moo, an early opportunity will be taken of communicating with the authorities of the borough. with a view to promoting the suitable rearptaos of the Princess in the town of Garwood. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the citizens of Canterbury was held in the Council-chamber of the Guild ball, convened bythe Mayor, for the purpose of determining upon the beet mode of celebrating the approaching marriage of the Prince of Wales. The Mayor briefly opened the proceedings by a reference to what was dons by the city on the occasion of the marriage of the Primes Royal. Among other things there was a grand ball ; but he found some objection bed been raised to a ball on the present occasion, on account of Lent ; but he could not see any impropriety in having • ball, as it was not thought improper to have the other festivities connected with the marriage in Lent. The Dean of Canterbury did not think a ball would succeed, as the ball ladies would not attend during Lent. Dr. Locher and Colonel M'ctueen were of the same opinion. This gave rise to ,poesiclarable discussion, and it was ultimately arranged to postpone the question of the boa The following programme was agreed to, sub ject to such alterations as should be hereafter thought seeemary : To keep the day as a general holiday is the city.

The dialogue might be a tries more reined without losing much in humour, thank we are bound to say that the general audience seemed highly satisfied with it. Mr. Rogers can scarcely appear in any part without amusing his audience as long as he remains on the stage, and in this ease be was well supported by Mn Poynter. The trifle is announced as from the pan of Mr. L. Crawford Wilson, a gentleman who is almost new as an aspirant for dramatic fame. °RECUR THEATRE. A well-conducted minor theatre, standing in the heart al • populism district, giving a well-selected, wall get up and well-executed dramatis entree/amend, is worthy at far more critical tpprecitlien that it usually gate The tiresian Theatre, in the City-road, has all these merits. Its dramas are generally put upon the stage with an attention to details that would do honour to a leading Westarl thestre, and its principal actor, Mr. T. Mead, is well aimed the most asiglarleadelreslawa miss weak ; and for the last three seasons, at least, it has earned a metropolitan reputation for the ingenuity of its pinata. mimeo. This year the subject chosen for the Christmas piece is "The Spider and the Fly," and it gives Mr. George Conquest, tbe son of the lessee and one of its coo:meters s peculiar opportunities fur display as a pantomimist. He plays Render Nip in • styleiwhich for fantastic activity eclipses anything that has been seen of the kind since the death of Mr. Wieland. For more than an hour he sustains • most arduous performance in which he is constantly appearing and dieappearing in all poaitiona through more than twenty trap-doors Axed in different parts of the stage. This ex tisordinary agility reaches its extreme height is a scene called "the phantom fight," in which he is ably assisted by Miss M. A. Victor and his sister, Xis Laura Conquest. The bitter young lady it very pleasing is person and manners, and is • most accomplished dancer. Miss Victor has great versatility as an actives, tad's well versed in all the varied business of burlesque acting, having been for some time a prominent member of Miss Swanborough's company at the Strand. A burlesque Dundreeti7—the caricature of • caricature—is played with much breadth and humour by Mr. H. Grant. The harlequinade is spirited and well supported, the scenery is carefully painted, the ballet is well arranged, the trandornation scene is designed with much taste, and the whole does credit to a theatre which was long the home of Mien Carlotta Lecleroq, Mr. Flexmore, and Mr. Robson. POLYTECHNIC. The active manager of this popular institution, Mr. Pepper, has mode a decided hit this year with what be calls The Spectre Drama. Two performances a day scarcely seem to satisfy this crowds who flock to witsess it, and while it shows a greater wonder than naturalmagit has ever before produced, it ought to do much towards dispelling a belief in ghosts. By a scientific apparatus, the invention of Mr. Ducks, a solid representation of a human being is thrown into the centre of a stags, and is made to appear and disappear at will without any visible agency. While earn• tially solid and real, the image is surrounded by a faint halo of light, just sufficient to give it a supernatural cha racter. It can be cut through with a sword or a hatchet, or can be walked through by a spectator, without being demo lished, or it can be changed in an instant for another image. This startling optical trick ought soon to be introduced at our theatres, and applied to the improvement of our supernatural drama. Banque's ghost, the spirits in the cauldron, the spectre in the Corsican Brothers, and even the ghost in Hamlet might be well represented in this way. It is not improbable that someactive dramatist may jump at the idea of writing round it, and making it the basis of a new spectre drama. ROYAL COLO6BIICII,—The winter season at this admirable institution concluded on Saturday, having been one of unexampled prosperity. The varied entertainments have each met with their admirers, though the great attrac tion his unquestionably been the negro entertainment of the "Barrett Minstrels," whose daily performances for three months have increased and established their re putation.
