No musical remise requires to be told that the =see of Henry Phillips will be eenntsmorated in the annals of the art as one of the greatest English singers of the nine- Meath century. His career u a public performer began more than forty years ago, and terminated, not from any ns .sssity caused by decay of his powers, but from his volun tary abandonment of his laborious professional duties for the sake of the ease sad sojoyment of a country life. He has seem It to resume his madames in Loudon ; not, however., with the view of again taking his place on the stage or in the orchestra, but with the intention of continuing his pro fessional labour, only in the capacity of au instructor. In this character he may be of infinite service to the rising ge ne:silos of magicians, for he is a thorough master of his ark His concert of lut evening, therefore, was announced as a " farewell" one. It took place at St. James'aball ; and, as was to be expected under the eircusseenose, at tracted a large audience. It was very interesting in many respects, though it had one fault—the English one of being too long. From the boot of vocal and instrumental performers employed, and the very miscellaneous nature of its multitudinous programme, it almost fell under the denomination of a"Concert nionstec"—a species of monster confined to this country. The interest of Mr. Phillips's farewell to the English public would not have been at all impaired (probably the reveres) by its having been of half its actual length. In speaking of such a concert we may CONIADO ourselves to what related espe cially to Mr. Phillips himself. As to the rest, it is enough to mention that the ample programme included several very pleasing sonp and ballads sung by Mies Poole, Mrs. Weir, Miss Rumford, Mrs. Merest (late Miss M. B. Hawes), Mr. Young, Mr. Sims ROOM, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Weis; that there were several instrumental perform ances, the most remarkable of which wee Mr. Bair Chat tertou's fine fantail% on the harp on themes from Noma. 'stilled, " Hommage it &ISM ;" and that the concert was in three parte, each conducted by a different eminent Jodi vidual— Mr. Benedict, Mr. Halle, sad Mr. J. L. Hatton.

The entrance Of the Qheec Into the city of London in leX is cited by theta as a precedent. On that occasion her Jamey was met at Temple-bar by the then Lord Mayor and Siseriffs, with a Memo cispistedion at 20 akleromma and COMMOOON and preceded and coaducted by them to her destination. It is also argued that in all great state pageants, and so in this, the popular interest and admiration which culminate in the sight of the principal personages are whetted by the curiosity excited by those who precede them ; but that if the order suggested by the Home Seem Wry be adhered to the maks& will be deprived of mash of its interest and symmetry. The eorporatios, it is will probably expend 30,0001. or 40,0004 on the auspicious comion, irrespective of the preparations they are making to celebrate the marriage, and they deplore an arrangement which they fear would mar the effect of the ceremonial. I So strongly do the royal reception committee feel in the matter, that before separating on Tuesday they unani mously appointed a deputation, composed of the Lord Mayor, Alderman Humphery, Alderman Phillips, Alder man Gibbons, Deputy Fry, Mr. Anderton, and the Re membeancer, to wait upon Sir George Grey and urge reasons, in what they conceived to be the public conveni ence, for changing the order of the procession. They had afterwards an interview, AM with the Home Secretary, who is reported to have been averse from entertaining the application, and afterwards with the Lord Chamberlain. The matter I. still under consideration, and the deputation are to have another interview with Lord Sydney this morn- The °separation had proposed to accompany the prone,- rion to Paddington, being preceded from Temple-bar by the official authorities of Westminster ; but it is understood to bays been intimated on authority that they and the Westminster escort could go no further than the entrance to Hyde Park, as it is in contemplation for oily the Prince and Princess, with the immediate attendants of the 'royal highnesses, to pass through the park, on their way to the Great Western railway terminus This arrangement appears also to have ceased dissatisfaction to the deputatioe from the reception committee. As to the preparations which are being made to witness the forthcoming spectacle along the line of route, it may be desirable to state that at their meeting on Tuesday the City Commissioners of Sewers passed a resolution, in the exercise of a power conferred on them by act of parliament, prohibiting, in all cases, the erection of temporary bal conies and scaffolding of all kinds, projecting from the fronts el house and shops, having regard in that to the public safety and convenience. Yesterday the various preparations for the accommoda tion of the public along the route from London-bridge to the west.end of the metropolis, were more general, and with dee exertion all, no doubt, win be completed in good time fee the proemial on the 7th al Merck while from the efforts which are being made in the City, Westminster, and Southwark, the general illumination is expected to be ex tremely effective. At London-bridge a large triumphal arch has been commenced on the city side, near the termi nation of Ring William-street, close to Fishmongers' Hall. Here the workmen ere making great progress, a poi. tion of the arch having bees already erected. A number of pafitters are now employed in affixing as enormous set of illuminations to the facade of the hall it self. These are being placed spinet the columns, and represent the Prince of Wales's feathers, with the motto " Ich Men " beneath, while on each side of the meet are wreaths of laurel, the whole of which will be lighted with gas, the piping for which has already been placid. In frost of the ball surearons wooden seats are being ocratructed for the acummodation of the members of the company and their triode. At the Mansion-house temporary seats are being fixed as fast as possible on the base and between the columns of the front of the building. The most singular spectacle, however, is presented at St. Paul's Cathedral, where a large body of carpenters are erecting tiers of wooden seats in the ancient churchyard, extending from the east end at the corner of Clumped' to the west front opposite Ludgate. hill. Them seats, with the thousands of well-dressed occupants, will no doubt present a most imposing sight on the day of the procession. Nothing has yet been due to Temple-bar, bat the churchyards of St. Clement Danes and St. Mary-le-Strand are both being fitted with seats. The pricers Gus for the illumination of Somerset House are in a rely forward state—more so, WO believe, than at any other of the government buildings. A special meeting of the vestry of St George's, Hanover spare, took plus at the Board-room, Mount-street, voter. day, to consider what steps should be takes is soterenos to the national reception of her Royal Rightism the Princess Alesandra. The Earl of Camperdowe was called to the chair, supported by Sir J. V. Shelley and other members of distinction. In the course of much discussion on a proposition that a triumphal arch should be erected at the commencement of the parish, at the junction of St. Jamee's-street, Piccadilly, it was admitted on all sides that the vestry had so power to apply funds for such a purpose, and that the proposed volunteer display was most dullish* and would fairly represent the parish. Ultimately it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Peter Squire, seconded by Mr. Joseph Dowden, that the rector and the churchwardens, together with the vestry clerk, as representing the parish of St. George's, should put themselves in communication with Sr Richard Mayne, in order that they may take a part in the proosinion. The Dean of Dromore has announced his inten tion of marrying, on the 10th of March, free of charge, all pumas who shall have given peeper notice. BURLINGTON ARCADL—TLe inhabitants of this faehicomble lounge have held a meeting for the pupae of considering the but and meet artistic mode of decorating and illuminating the arcade oe the ocosaion of the nubile entrance on Saturday, the 7th of Munk and on the wed ding day, on Tuesday, the 10th.

FRANCE AND THE POLISH QUESTION. PARIEt, FM ilk The Canstihitionnel of this evening publishes an article signed by M. Boniface t the secretary of the paper, saying : " The exaggerated fears as to the result of the Polish question, to which we alluded on Monday last, have now disappeared. The Bourse, which gave way yesterday to a species of panic in no way justified by circumstances, surveys the position of affairs to-day with greater coolness and reason. At the commencement of the insurrection the unani mous sympathy of liberal Europe and the repre sentations of the Great Powers, might bave sufficed to arrest this painful conflict, but the convention between Prussia and Russia has transformed the question into one of European interest. That the convention would evoke universal reprobation, and cause an understanding between France, England, and Austria, was certain, even before the treaty was concluded. This understanding is a sure guarantee for the maintenance of peace. It became evident that the way was open to conciliation, and that right and justice were to triumph by peaceful means. Public opinion now seems to understand this, and we are happy to note the change." The Siècle and the Opinion Nationale have opened subscriptions for the benefit of the Poles. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. HATTOWITZ, Fa. 54, Emma. The latest intelligence reoei;ed here states that an engagement between the insurgents and the Russians, lasting upwards of eight hours, has taken place near Kutno. The Riunians were put to }fight and took refuge upon Prussian territory. Fugitive Polish families continue to arrive at Kattowitc. THE ITALIAN LOAN. TURIN, Fri. 25. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate upon the bill authorising the new loan took place. Signor Mordini combated the policy of the ministry, which, he declared, by its opposition to all members of the party of action was spreading indifference and general scepticism throughout the country, and continued :—" I consider the policy of Italy too subservient to foreign interests. If we were to display more independence towards France, we Amid obtain the more efficacious friendship of Ragland." Signor Orispi also spoke against the loan. He did not approve of the financial and administrative system of the ministry. The debate still continues. THE PROVIDENT CLERKS BENEVOLENT FUND. Last evening, the annual meeting of the members of this' institution took place at the London Tavern ; Mr. John Abel Smith in the eheir.

CRYSTALPALACM-01111 SWILLING DAT.—WID !MOAT, NM. MS. —Mashie= en payment, gti7 ; ditto hp seam tickets, 667 ; totel, 1,11/4. As to the people of Be%ende, -although there Inky eclat, sopeeklEY intheldwarelesues,ll4 inevi table autsominn between Christian and Illessubsan, the sentiment which prevails is, that Belgrade can never become a great, prosperous, peaceful, sod trading city as long so the' Turks menace it. When the Turks formerly held Ennis, and Belgrade coa lmisted of merelysome rows of hovels huddled under the citadel, the latter was all is all. But now Belgrade, like every other European capital, has extended into a wide and well-built city. All other countries have bees able to accompany their 'greet movement of the population By flinging down for tifications, sad liberating their chief cities from the menaces and danger of war. In Belgrade alone, simultaneous with the erection of long lines of merchants' aid of senators' mansion', the citadel is allowed to extend its bastions and its esplanades, not against any foes from the rivet or the opposite frontier, but against the towns and towne people, which gird it. Since the last bombardment, accordingly, many mercantile houses have left the place. With tbe present reinforoementef the citadel no new firms will come. They will prefer to settle at Semlin or elsewhere, a result advantageous per haps to Austria, but] certainly not to the Sultan, or to free-trading England. Western Europe is possessed with the idea that the Serbs are but instruments in the hands of Russia, awaiting orders and an opportunity to attack the Ottoman. Now I can answer for Serbs and Roumans, who have, both of them, even to a fault—a total indifference and want of ambition with regird to the Ottoman empire and its capital. They do not look eo far, have no aim beyond that of being not interfered with at home, and of developing their own large national resources. Serra fully proved during the Crimean war that it was neither Russian nor Turcophage. The Serbs did not demand anything of the Sultan, save the execution of his own MIMI Sheriff of August, 1830. By that edict, the Sultan forbade any Mussulman to hold lands in Servia, or to reside in the country, =less within the walls of a Turkish fortress, and of omen retained there as a soldier. All that the Powers obtained for Servia in the late conference at Constantinople was the execution of this promise, made thirty years ago. Why are the Sordoni to pay for its performance by the sacrifice of • considerable portion of their city The gravamen against the Berrien government is its having procured arms for its militia. No one denies the right of the Prince to have an armed force. A standing army is, however, a costly thing, and Prince Michael and his Senate preferred the system of a volunteer or militia force, to be assembled and drilled, as they are with us, during a certain brief portion of the year. The Servians were already armed ; no one in that country travels without his musket slung around him and pistols at his girdle. To be so armed is considered not only necessary for defence, but as the symbol of personal freedom. The Serbs are neither serfs or raps, and they like to show it. But with such arms as the Serbs possessed, any thing like drill or discipline was impossible. How fabricate cartonohes for fire-arms of forty different calibres ? Prince Michael, in order to arm his militia, sent to have the order executed at Birmingham. An English weapon was the first desire of the Serb. The Birmingham manufacturer, however, applied to thegovernment for information, and was told not to deliver the arms. The Serb Prince thenapplied to France. The French were willing, but in turn there came a hitch, perhaps caused by the Turkish ambassador ; and the French government, not to give umbrage to the Porte, declined. As a last resource, the Berrien government applied to Russia for somewhat lass than 40,000 stand of arms ; which were duly sold, paid for, and transmitted across the Wallachian territory. Stopped by Prince Conza's government, lest they should be destined for Bulgaria, or Montenegro, or any province immediately subject to or at war with Turkey, they were claimed by Prince Michael. Now as Prince Coma could not question Prince Michael's right to procure arms for his militia, without invalidating the similar right of his own government, he allowed them to pass. The possession of them will allow the Berrien govern ment to drill its militia in line, and pre sent it with cartouches. But the arms thus provided are not greater in number than the Serbs were in the habit of procuring for themselves. For, we repeat, no Serb exists without a gun. All the difference is that the government has furnished in the present instance what individuals would in a few years have purchased. If the Turks keep within their fortresses there is no fear of collision between them and the Serbs. But of what use these fortresses can be to the Turks does not appear. They only keep up ani mosity between the creeds and races, and seriously check that free commercial intercourse which ought to take place up, down, and across the great rivers of the Save and Danube. But the spirit and inten tion of the present Sultan are known to be warlike and aggressive towards the Christian races. And these, though they must in deference to the Powers of Europe keep strictly on the defensive, will seek to make that an armed defence, if they au, for greater security.

There is but little general news, only three days having elapsedaince the departure of the last mail. The treaty with the King of Burundi recently entered into by Colonel Phayre, acting as the representative of the Britiab government, is understood to require some important modifica tions, and to that end Colonel Phay re h as re t urne d to /Simnel. A bill has been submitted to the Governor-General's council to legalise the treaty, but no further steps will be taken, it is believed, until the remit of Colonel Phsyre's secondmission is known. The Gazette of the 21st January contains some supplementary rules for the sales of paste lane, being a continuation of those published by the lieu tenant-governor on the lith of September last. The Landholders' Association re resented that seve ral of the rules were inapplicable and calon/ated to interfere materially with the seams of the arrears, and we are glad to notice, says the Beirkaro, that in every instance the gcrvernznent have so modified the& as to meet the difficultiee suggested.

Our advice!' from Hong Kong are to Qua 15th et January. , The English mail of the 26th of November arrived at Hong Kong on the 7th of January. Colonel Ward's suocessor, General Burgevine, had been dismissed from his command. Having had a dispute with the Chinese authorities respecting the non-payment of his troops, he was provoked to strike the Imperial banker. The authorities ad Bhanghae at once issued a proclamation deposing Burgevine from his commend • they also requested the English commandant at Shanghse to appoint a successor. Colonel Jebb accordingly ap , pointed Capt. Holland to the temporary command. Owing to this occurrence it is said that the siege of Naillung has been abandoned, and that the forces already gathered together there are being with drawn. The river is shortly expected to be swarm , ing with Taeping junks. This is likely to be an exaggerated fear. The excitement produced at Shanghae by these events may be judged by the fact that nearly a whole issue of one of the load newspapers is de voted to correspondence and comments on the sub ject. It is allowed that General Burgevine was wrong in striking the Imperial banker, but that he had great provocation. The following general summary of news is from the China Mail of the 15th January : From Peking, the only istelligeoce refers to the highly amicable, relations which 'deist between the foreign sad native authotitite. A project has been conceived to have • line of railway between Tientsin and Pekiog ; the ordi nary daily tra ffi c is large ; coal is cheap and good if properly wrought ; the country between Tientsin and th e capital is flat ; and the imperial authorities are ready to give their consent to the *thaws ---- From the Northam Ports there is not much news of con. eeeues' From llantow, we hear that a chamber of commerce u being formed to regulate the prim of all gimlets ; the authorities will support it.

From Amoy and Fubchan there is no news. At Swatow, a daring piratical robbery had onearred. A band of well armed men landed on Double Island and took possession of the Chinese bank ; as no adequate resistance was at hand, they proceeded to work, and removed all the treasure they could lay their beads upon. The amount of plunder is said to have exceeded 100,000 dollars. Various persons, native and foreign, witnessed the whole proceed logs, but were powerless to Interfere. The money, or a large part of it, is maid to have belonged to the imperial customs. JAPAN. We read in the China Mail of Jan 15th : From Japan, in addition to serape of political news that have appeared in the Yokohama newspaper, ws are favoured with ponderous reports of the proosedinp of a court at inquiry into the salvage in the cue of the brig Guinea, wrecked in Japan. The importance this wreck has as. sumed in the eyes of our traders in Japan may be estimated by the fact that an extra number of the Japan Herald in frequently required to travel over the disputed ground. It seems as if our people there had had nothing to do until fate sant then this wreck to pounce upon as a common sub. jact of contention. Meanwhile. we are told that Colonel Neale has been warned by the Mayor of Kanagawa that some new danger is imminent. The Japanese authori ties are certainly indomitable as alarmirta, the periodical recurrence of thane warnings being now set down at three months, an assassination following every third warning. It is perhaps to be feared that this policy an the part of the Japanese may goad England into bold measures of hostility. but so long as the determination of the native authorities leans in its present direction, the old state of stain will be resumed after any war we choose to make. Our ruler, should give the subject their most serious attention. Among the passengers brought by the Hansa from Amenca, is Count liejan, th e From* Consul at Now Orisons.
