IL 8611‘....4.611103% Ow tamouow—Mazift. Ift--Mialsocs. La. U.. LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 6. THE Rare papers (an abstract of which appeared exclusively in yesterday's Express) are illus trative of the extent to which corruption and feeble ness pervade the military and civil ad m i n istration _ _ of Turkey. Bat they also show that there are smug the Turkish Ministers, men earnestly and sincerely bent upon reform; that there ire among therm( men trained in the Government Schools many both able and willing to support this clue of honest statesmen ; and that the Turkish soldiery are quite capable of appreciating such leaders. What is of more interest to an Englishman in this Blue Book, is the evi dence it contains of the untiring energy and devotion ' of General WILLIAMS and his staff, and of the strong bold they have obtained upon the public opinion of Anatolia. Though forced to succumb to the enemy in a most unequal contest, they have conquered the confidence and good will of their friends. Whether we are to have peace or war, it will evidently be of the utmost consequence to the Turkish Government to retain the military services of General WILLIAMS and the European officers who served under him in Asia. It may be added that it would have been better to continue their energetic and judicious coadjutor, Mr. Consul BEARD, at Erseroum, with higher official station and emoluments, than to have removed him to Demean& But the Kars papers will be more eagerly scanned in Eng land, with a view to obtain an insight into the al leged disagreements between General WILLIAMS and Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFR, than for any other purpose. Most men take a greater interest in per sonal scandals then in more important matters. Noe can it be denied that much will depend in the East I upon the harmonious co-operation of British agents. Enough is revealed in the Kars correspondence to enable the public to form a pretty fair estimate of the merits and demerits of the English Government, the English Ambassador at Constantinople, and the English Commissioner in Ears, with reference to the I military operations in Anatolia. It would do no good to attempt to conceal that there have been dis plays of temper which are much to be regretted. Bat it seems equally clear that the public envies has sot suffered materially thereby. In so far as General WILLIAMS is concerned, it is obvious that what man could do he did. His judgment and energy are above all praise. It is equally dear that be was sin cerely and energetically supported by the Home Governmest. The only party whose ondscrt is open to criticism is Lord STRATFORD DE REDCAPS% We are free to admit that the conduct of Lord STRAT FORD DI REDCLIFFI, in leering unacknowledged the receipt of so many despatches from General WlLLeams, between the time of that officer's appointment as Commissioner of the British Government with the Army of Anatolia and the beginning of December, 1864, was most reprehensible. Lord 81marronn ought to have recollected that General WiLusies req•.lired to be encouraged in the discharge of his urinous duties by assurance of sympathy and support, and that he ought to have been strengthened in the eyes of the Turkish officials by tangible demonstrations of the confidence of his own Governing. Again, the testi ness evinced by Lord tirnirroan when General WILLIAMS remonstrated with him in a frank and mealy meaner, and appealed to the British Govern ment, is little to his credit. On the other hand, there is no reason to doubt that Lord STRATFORD assiduously and energetically supported the repre sentations of General WILLIAMS in his communica tions with the Turkish Government, end that he faith fully transmitted all the despatches of General WIL LIAMS to the English SICRITAZT for Foam)" Amnia. Throughout the correspondence relsr tire to military operations in Anatolia in 1864.65, Lord STRATFORD DE BEDCLIFFI has displayed a remissness in correspondence, and an irritable, imperious temper, that are mime drawbacks on his nodulose, as a diplomatist. But it was known beforehand that these were his foible; and to compensate for them he has displayed a saga city in estimating the characters of the courtiers end ministers he had to deal with, a knowledge of Turkish affairs, an honest devotion to the eau* of England and of Europe, which have rarely been *quelled. With all hie faults and weaknesses—and they are grave ones—" another of his fathom we have not" for dealing with the tangled polities of Cam staatinople. It will be ea irreparable lose to England and Teaks'', if Lord ST/LATFORD Di REDCLIFFE is at this janeture recalled or driven to resign. And it is obvious that a "dead set" is being made against him by intriguers and Interested speculators, English and foreign. We have not been beckward to pint eat the snots and faults of this Minister whenever sesasies seemed to call for it ; but it is due to truth eadjuslise—it is due to the interests of Mislaid and Imp to assert his unequalled menu, when Won b a risk of losing his services at • most oessmstoss crisis. Tits sobiest Theatre in Fame has bees do obeyed by fire. The building that yesterday oesaed to exist had stood somewhat more than six-and-forty years. The old house which Manager RICH, the ig Harlequin showman" of POPE and FIELDING, filet opened in 1732, and where emu= first acted is 1748. was harped to the mead is September, 1808, and the Coyest-golden which we all knew so wall— as Clevent-garden of ourselves sad our fathers—was apnea to the public in September, 1800. What a crowd of recolleetions fora their way span no as we think of the charred columns and black ened walla and smouldering embers, which are all that now remain of Covent-garden Theatre. It is impossible to look unmoved on the scene of so many dramatic, triumphs and so many lively emotions, of so much ennobling sorrow, of so much heart-easing mirth. The House, which has a mood time perished in flames, commenced its weer in a storm. For two moths alter its reopening, the O.P. riots were the exclusive talk of. the tows. The roar of this thee. tried tempest has loss since paned away frees the memories of men. Nothing remains of it but the solitary recollection of that happiest of all dueled pane— Efodinater opee Ireitaassta maims. Then ease the era of the ILintaus in all he glory : the Sestet and Oriel/ow of the stately brother, the Lady Atoka of the asiestie sister.

After a period the epoch of the MACREADT =maenad esened—an epoch ever memorable in .the ainals of English drs . ma as having established the principle that the most costly appliances of art and the deepest researches of erudition an to be lavished unsparingly on the illustration and embodi ment of the highest conceptions of the highest dramatic genies. No playgoer of the ex isting generation is likely to forget the " Tempest" and the " Coriolanus " as produced at Covent-garden under the management of MACREADY. The next vicissitude that took place in the fortunes of the bons was a singular one. Its stage became the rostrum of the Anti-Corn-Law I League. COBDEN and Bonin, and Oneo" and Fox, created within its walls that public opinion in the metropolis which brought London up to the level of the North, and caused the cry for untaxed bread to go forth from all parts of the empire alike, till its strength grew to be irresistible and Free Trade be came the law of the land. The next transition was even stronger still. The heir of the DELAPIELDI con ceived the patriotic notion of spending in music the patrimony which had been created out of malt. Covent-garden became an opera. The architectural skill of ALBANO and the decorative resources of Casco made the house a model of easy accessibility, ele gance, and splendour. The season of the double operas set in. Mayfair and Belgravia were cm vend with a repetition of the musical warfare with which °Luck and Plectuu had in the eighteenth century convulsed Paris; and the battle raged for some seasons with all that intensity of discord only known to professors of harmony, commentators on the classics, and doctors in theology. The sums lavished on the musical entertainments at Covent garden were enormous. In the season of 1848 the vocal department alone cost 33,3491., and the orchestra 10,0481. It is but fair to admit that the result was commensurate. The ungrateful world who shrugged their shoulders over "poor Mr. DaLt naio's" ruin, forgot to remember that this lavish outlay had procured them for two seasons the mat consummate enjoyment which it is in the power of the lyrical drama to impart. We are afraid that the admirers of the legitimate stage will think us sadly degenerate for the avowal, but we must frankly con fess that amongst thole "pleasures of memory" in separably oonnected in our minds with the Covent garden that was but yesterday a reality and to-day is &ruin, are those triumphs of vocal and musical art which all London has witnessed within its walla. The "To m'ami • of Maio still lingers in our ears, the .Nonna and Lucresia of 011.111 the magnificent, the histrionic art and consummate vocal science of WARM! OARCIA, are recollections never to be effaced—rsoollenions which imply no treason to the elder Queens of our national drama. We will not dwell on the bear uses to which this magnificent hues was devoted in the intervals of the Opera season. JOLLIES and his promenade Concerts, and his Bal Masques; then the Wined of the North and his Pantomime; then an entertainment which appears to have been Drams, Pantomime, and Dal Mosque all in one ; and then—the Fire. Amidst the general wreck and ruin, it is no light matter of congratulation that no lives have been sacrificed, though at the time the conflagration broke out all the manure had not yet left the house. We are not yet 'efficiently informed as to the particulars to know whether it was so in fact, but it may turn out that for this fortunate result we are in some degree indebted to the architectural skill of Mr. Auntro. Covent garden, after the improvements of 1847, was by far the best contrived theatre in London, in all that re lated to means of ingress and egress. This is ob viously a point of the very highest importance in all places of crowded public resort. The ancients were well aware of this. The vomitories in Vzszursx's great amphitheatre were so admirably contrived that its 80,000 spectators could, without inconvenient pressure, make their way oat of its precincts in less than ten minutes. People who have a tarn for see ing special interferences in all those events which it nits their views to regard &skull:matte, are fond of improving such catastrophes as the destruct/fond thea tres. Our taste in such matters is so doubt improving, still the conflagration of a theatre as the termination of a Bal Masque is an opportunity that will prove, we fear, too tempting for the Christian charity of the telethon we have in view. What if we turn the tables, and improve the merlon in our own more mundane way. There is a plus of public exhibition in this metropolis never profaned by any performance less decorous (we do not lay lees harmless) than a concert or an oratorio. The place we mean is Exeter Hall. Now, this vast building—this great =phi theatre of spiritual gladiatorship—has nothing that ' deserves the name of vomitories at aIL ♦ fashionable ' chapel is not more difficult of exit. If fire, or the aims of fire, were to take place among the three thousand congregated in this highly moral building—and such I things have happened even in chapels, nay, in churches—what, in the name of all that is feekul, is to become of the imputed mass? Let the public, by whom this excellent institution is supported, en force their views upon the trustees with whom its management rests. Aka warn. We earnestly trust that a catastrophe ea fearful may be averted ; but if it did happen we feel only too confident that, in the total absence of all available means of exit, the audience of Exeter Hall could not, like the masquere of Covent garden, make their maps with such complete mem as not to add the loos et either life or limb to the regret aceessarily inspired by an event almost SA melancholy as that which hex left nothing remaining of oar flout theatre Bit blealuals. rasa, sad • Uttiorlog wall.

Many sincere and devoted membere, of what is called the " ultra- Church party," have implored their friends to meet this assamire, by proposing some equitable comm. inns. In vain I for Lord Joan Mammas not the motion, that the Bill be read a second time, with an oseempromisiog negative. The minority is by no means a fair exponent of the strength of the party which is prepared to support Lard JOHN MANNERS in maintaining Church Rates in all their enonstrom iniquity.

The Moniteur of this morning says that Marshal Pelimier has informed the Minister of War that the resolution passed by the Plenipotentiaries on the 25:h of February last, relative to the armistice, which is to extend to the 31st of March, was known in the Crimea on the 28th of February. On the 29th of February, at a Conference held at the Traktir-bridge, between the Chiefs of the Staff of the allied armies and General Tutchimeff, dele gated by the Commander•in-Chitf of the Russian army, it was decided that there should be a complete suspension of hostilities. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM ova OWN [DINT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Pays and Patrie of this evening both USlm distinctly that the signature of the preliminaries, about which so much fuss has been made, was a mere diplomatic formality. Some pleasantries are made upon Lord Palmerston's want of memory as to the day on which the signature took place. But it is agreed on all hands that it was not on Saturday, but earlier in the week. So that the great and exclusive news is altogether blown out of the water. It conveyed a totally false idea in point of substance, and was not even right in point of date. The Monileur contains the official announcement of the appointment of the widow of Admiral Bruat to the post of " Gonvernante des enfants de France." It is, perhaps, necessary to explain that by this ex pression it is intended to refer to the prospective pro. geny of the Emperor Napoleon 111. and the Empress Eugenie. The budget of 1837 may be thus briefly summed up: Ordinary and extraordinary eapeeses 1,695,057,161 fr. Ordinary and extraordinary receipts 1,710,474,512 Surplus of receipts The ordinary expiate are 1,641,493,164 The ordinary receipts Leaving a surplus of Eztraordieary worts. 53,564,000fe Extraordinary receipts., 1,129.286 Remainder 62,434,714 Leaving a sulphls of as stated above. It must be borne in mind that, in the above figures of the budget, the exceptional expenses which the war necessitates aro not in. eluded, such outlay being covered only by means of extraordinary resources. The resources in qua. tion are not set down in the receipts any more than the exceptional outlay is amongst the expense.. Oily a credit of 2,000,000 fr. is to be opened to the Minister of War to pay the military pensions of the year 1857. _ _ _ The Bourse continues to be pressed down by the knowledge that the greater part of the speculative business done is unsound. To-day the great difference between the price of the Rente for account and for cash tempted many people to buy for money. In the result there was a rise of 10e. for cash, and a fall of 130 c. for account, the respective prices being 72fr.10c. and 72fr. 1330. There were considerable fluctuations during the day, and the market closed heavily at the lowest price.. Credit Mobilier rose 35ft. The large investments made by the society in reports are a source of great profit to the shareholders. Railways were, on the whole, better. Lyons and Mediterranean rase 40fr.; St. Rambert and Grenoble, 20fr.; and the little line of Graisseasac and Beziers, 30fr. The Constilutionteel says:—" The plenipotentiaries of Russia had hitherto oily appeared at the Tuileries in plain clothes, for the special reason that, besides the state of war, the acoession of Alexander U. has not yet been notified to the Western Powers. Their presence at the Imperial sitting of Monday in mi -1 form has been generally interpreted in the diplomatic world as a certain indication of a speedy renewal of official relations between the Court of St. Petenbarg and those of France and England, and consequently as a manifest proof of the favourable turn the Con• ferences of Paris are taking." The reasoning of this paragraph is anything but conclusive. The state of war, modified by the armistice, still oxide, and if it ever were a good reason for MM. Orloff and Branow not donning uniform in Paris, that the French Emperor is supposed to be ignorant of the accession of the present Cur, that reason would be still in force, however well the Conferences may be going on. The Progres dr .Pas de Calais reports that there have been five most destructive fires at Arras within the space of four-and-twenty hours. RUzSIA. BERLIN, Ilsacif 6. The .dbodle du Nord says that the greatest confi dence is felt at St. Petersburg in a favourable issue of the negotiations. The price of all kinds of met (dandies is continually rising. THE BALTIC. A letter from Kiel, ot the i9th ult., says :—" Be. veral officers of the British navy are now here, charged by the Admiralty to make every arrange , meat for the speedy arrival in our bay of a strong squadron of English steamers, which are to remain here during the continuance of the sittings of the Congress at Paris. If an opinion may be formed from the contracts which these officers have entered into for provisions, the crews of these vessels will consist of several thousands. The contractors are required to have always on hand for the next two months a certain quantity ot supplies ready for imme diate delivery. Wants are daily arriving from England with cargoes of coal for the supply of the squadron." In a letter. from Vienna, of the let, we read:— "The sepotietions nisei,' eo the Italian railways cam yesterday to a clue. The state has ceded them to • OM' ✓ay, of which MM. Rothschild, Blount, Lahti!, and Talbot ere ausbeet. Baron de Rothschild gain • crawl dialer to day, at which the Ministen, Baron de Bruck, Baron de Bach, and ChereFt r de Teggenbourg were present." or. r The Emperor Francis Joseph quitted Vienna last weak, for Pram, in order to t Ike port in some Itca which are being held them in eelehrst;on of the 25 ► annivenary of the =allege of the Emperor Ferdinsod sod the Empties Marla Anse, It is a long time since Prague has held se many sunset visitors wit.in its walls.
