THAT oar present Ministers will reader a service most acceptable to the general public of England by lending their aid to remove all obstacles which im pede free trade between France and England is beyond a doubt. This very day a grand demonstration in favour of free trade with France takes place at Hanley, in the Staffordshire Potteries. This is the sixth public meeting on the subject which has been held in that district within a very short time; and the men of the Potteries have only been giving public voice to what is the theme of conversation is every commer cial circle throng hoot the UnitedKiegdom. Correspond ing sentiments are beginning to pervade France. The labours of the Minds of free trade in Bordeaux are widely and honourably known. In Havre, too, strenuous efforts have been made during the lest two years to obtain the abolition, or at least the diminu tion, of the protective and restrictive duties which still deform the tariff of France. Marseilles and Nantes have not been behind the other two great seaports of France in their intelligent efforts to promote the extension of free-trade principlea and practice. But a mon remarkable movement than any of these--seeing what an important element in the national industry the agriculture of France is—may be witnessed in the exertions of the agriculturists to obtain a remission of the duties on foreign iron imported into Frame. Dear-bought experience has taught the friends of agricultural improvement in that country that one of the heaviest and most discouraging burdens under which the cultivator of the soil labours is the heavy price be has to pay for agricultural implements, owing to the high price of iron. This conviction has gone far to make free-traders of all the farmers. The progress of rational conviction on this point has been accelerated by the growing interest which the agriculturist. of France now take in the improvement of their stock. The old prejudice which made the farmers of France clamour against the importation of foreign cattle, in the vain hope to keep up the price of butcher.' meat, is giving way to the knowledge that with a view to the improvement of their own breed of cattle, free importation from other countries is indispensable. In a mere economical point of view, the disposi tion of the French and English Governments and people to increase the facilities for commercial inter course is of great importance. Bat the tendency of such increased facilities to bind the two nations toge ther by the cords of amity and common interest is a consideration of infinitely greater ma neut. We have already French shareholders in English joint-stock compels,. and English share holders in French railways; more beaks than an, with benches in Paris and London, are already far advanced towards a commencement of operation.; English capitalists, resident and non-resident, an deeply engaged in many mining and manufacturing enterprises in Francs ; a Scotch and French inter national cattle show is about to be opened in Paris; fee some few ye►rs back we have had an interesting and prosperous exhibition of the paintings of French artists in London. It is to this community of pursuits and interests that we are to look for a perpetuation of friendly relations and a common action in European affairs on the part of Fran and England. Paris and London, the two great generating centres of European opinion, have eontributed much to the advancement of humanity oven while they were ant mated by a spirit of rivalry and antagonism bow much nine powerful will be their influence when they operate in independent but amicable combine tics ! It is to contribute to this fusion of the ends and aims of the two great capitals of European civilisation that we now invite Lord CLAIIINDON.

Again, we would meekly submit that the anrchair of a slab Amide or the ottoman of a drawing-room is bat ill exchanged, in point of ease and comfort, for the ordi nary pit stall or dress circle box of our leer improved theatres. The theory of ventilation is no• where, perhaps, carried out in very absolute perfection ; bat without being fastidious or finical, the frequenter of a theatre may sorely stipulate for something better than an alternation of the fierce and stifling fever. beat of imprisoned gas, with the freezing blasts of the irruptive east. It may be very difficult in soy place of crowded assemblage to preserve an atmo- sphere which all may breathe with comfort, but there can surely be no necessity for submitting tome which allows the strongest no medium between influenza and a headache. We gladly acknowledge that in certain instances, which it is only just to particularise, considerable steps have already bees made towards an improve ment in both these respects. Mr. WIGAN, at the Olympic, has set a laudable example in commencing at half•put seven instead of the earlier hoar else where persisted io, and at the Princess's the expe dient, we believe, is very generally adopted, of commencing the evening's entertainments with a short piece, the termination of which about coincides with the arrival of the later company. In both these houses, too, the stalls are eminently praiseworthy, and the general accommodation civilised. The annoy ance of the play-bill venders must be noted as being still only partially suppressed, and all the efforts of the administrative reformers of the green-room have as yet failed entirely to put an sad to the custom of paying so much as the nominal pries of your place, and a shilling more to some ideal in dividual, who, by a fiction of the stage, is supposed to keep it for you. It is, however, something to find that these annoyances, once universal, are now only partial; they ought not any longer to exist anywhere. If they have been put down at one house, they might be put down in all; and if the managers knew, and would act upon the knowledge of, their true interests, they would long since have been numbered with veils to gentlemen's servants, as an obsolete abuse of the past, instead of having to be reckoned, with fees to vergers of St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, as an incorrigible malpractice of the present.

The tine bands of the god Lift Guards and the Grenadier Guards were in attendance ; but, from the severe north-easterly winds which prevailed, her Majesty and the Kiog of the Belgians did not make their appearance. It is now undentsed that the King of the Belgians will prclorg his visit until Tuesday, when his Majesty will take his departure by the South-Western Railway. Owing to the Hamm of the weather, the Court will remain at Windsor, according to the present anaagements, until Tuesday week.

Sr. PAUL AND Sr. BAIINABAS.-111111 election for the office of palish warden here is likely to be hotly contested. Mr. Weaterton's opponent is Mr. Tuck, a former churchwarden, of the days of rampant Peseyism. Mr. Westerton's friends hardly expected it, so essential did it appear to them that his period of office should last during the appeal to the Arches Court and Privy Council. The last few days have again aroused those angry feelings so rife during the heat of a contested election. Bills, placards, squibs, letters of attack and defence, are freely issued, com mittee rooms engaged, canvassers active and energetic. Easter Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, is fixed for the nomina tion—all friends are earnestly urged to rally round their candidates. The Pusayite party speak con fidently of victory, and boast of having canvassed doting the last two months to their opponents' dis advantage. The contest will virtually be a test of the opinions of the inhabitaata of the district as to the suits now pending in the Ecclesiastical courts. Mr. Waterton was returned by a majority of 323 last time, and it can hardly be doubted that he will again be successful. If we might give a word of warning, the danger is that his friends will not believe his defeat possible. Every man who polled before should, at any personal inconvenience, again support him, and then, and then only, is names certain.

The examination and approval of thin act will require a few more sittings, and thus the signing of pesos will be forced into the ensuing week, the expiration of which very nearly coincides with the expiration of the armistice." Piedmont, it appears, is represented in the commission, and by W. de %Umatilla. . - Le Nord of yesterday states, on the other band, that the commission has actually terminated its la bour', and that pesos was to be migned yesterday or today (Monday). The following mot is attributed to Lord Claren don :—"lt is not the peace, bat a peace." The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edi tion) asserts his fears that we are at this moment more distant from a pacific solution than we were ten days ago. The change, he says, "I believe to be owing to the demand put forth yesterday by the Prussian plenipotentiaries to be admitted to sign the treaty of peace on the same footing and in the some character as if Prussia had been a party to the alliance throughout, as if she had accepted all the obligations involved in it, had joined in the ultima tum; and had declared that she would abide by all its consequences. Such, it seems, are the pretensions of Prussia at this moment, and I believe that in these pretension' she has the support of Russia, if not of others." RIGA AND THE GULF OF FINLAND. A letter from Rip of the 16th, in a Russian journal, says : • " The navigation of the Gulf of Finlaud is inter rupted by the rigours of the winter, and this state of things may continue until the breaking up of the ice, which does not usually take place until the end of April. Communication with the coasts of Fin. land is effected only at great risks. We are assured that some foreign vessel', bound for our city, are checked by ice in the very middle of the Gulf, and are threatened, not only with the loss of their rich cargoes, but with utter destruction, from one moment to another. "In the almost certain prospect of peace, our mer chants daily receive important orders from abroad for different products, such as flax, hemp, tallow, oleaginous and cereal grains. Prices ars firmly maintained, and it is believed that with peace once omcluded, a fresh rise will follow, in anticipation of large exports of these products." ASSASSINATIONS IN PARMA.

The Mats says that, according to information which it has reason to believe correct, nothing has occurred in the Congress to warrant the announce ment made by an English journal that the armistice will be prolonged to April 30. The Dlbals agrees in the opinion generally entertained that the treaty of pesos will be signed before the 31st of this mouth, sod that, consequently, no prolongation of the armis tice will be neeessary.

The latest bulletin reports the health of Prince Jerome to be satisfactory; it is said, however, that the patient has arrived at the period when relapses may occur, and that the state of the Prince will re quire the constant exercise of care and skill. At the Little Bourse on the Boulevard the Rents was done at 72fr. 85c. for account, being a rise of 25c. from yesterday. There was an unusually large gathering of coululiera assembled to talk over the new measure taken by the Prefect of Police, which so seriously afficta their interests. Many of the speculators for the rise in the foreign Credit Mobitiers openly oxpress their determination not to meet their engagements, and justify their resolution on the ground that their contracts were based upon a state of things which has been swept away by a via major. The grand Te Deum for the birth of the Prince was sung to-day at Notre Dame. The Emperor was not there, but the attendance of official per sonages was very great. Many of their carriages were afterwards seen in the Champs Elyeees and the Bois de Boulogne, whither the fineness of the %sa -1 they had attracted immense crowds. This day being Easter Sunday there are no evening Papers. There is a hope that Madame Volnys, the charming actress, who will be remembered by old London playgoers under the fairylike name of Leontine Fay, may appear once more on the boards of the Theatre Prussia. Her long engagement at St. Petersburg terminates at the end of this year. She was in Paris lately for a few hours only, on her way from Nice, where she had been to see a sick daughter. During this flying visit she saw the director of the Francais, and expressed to him a desire to finish her dramatic career on the scene of her former triumphs. M. Empis could not do better than engage Madame Volnys to fill tho vacancy caused by the lamented death of Madame Allan. FIRST PETITION TO THE PRINCE IMPERIAL OF FRANCE. The following curious petition appears in the leading column of Figaro : .. TO MONSEIGNEUR LII PRINCE IMPERIAL _ _ ..... _ PARIS. MARCH 20, 18.56 " Monselgoeur,—Ferry years ego there ass a prioce born in the Tuileries. A few days after this event a person came to the palace with a petition for the King of RAMC Tin Emperor, your ancestor, willed t-at this petition should be presented to his heir in person. Then he sa'd to the peti tioner, ' What answer did the King of Roue make ? ' He sa , d nothing, sire ; but, as siPecei gives consent, I am jut •ified in thinking that the prince gr.nts my request.' Napo , lean ratified the tacit agreement of his son. Monseigneur, under the auspices of this precedent, 117oro now preeenis is you his bumble petition. The 101 guns which saluted your birth brought hope to us, for we knew that you came into the w rid with soar hands full of pardon and indulgent.. But, monarigneur, you have not these:it of as; you will h sue been told that we are greet attain els corruptorsof the public mind, the terror of fathers of families. People are deceiving you already, moaseigneur. Here is the troth. Two yeses prior to your birth we founded a little newspaper of a free but not a liceatious character. We never expected our paper to be adopted in seminaries for the education of yourg ladles. We proposed to collet—once or twice a week—the refarss perdue and enfant grouter of French repast, the anecdote, the mot, and even the onlant adven ture at the dsy—thines which frightened neither Francis 1., aor Henry IV., nor Louis XIV., who leashed at the crudi ties of I should not venture to remind a princess of these souvenirs, but among men, mouseignrue we may talk rfsnch thinge at an boor when little giro are gone to bed. L'evrit Fran fair, that it might the better circulate in Europe,ltas ever been lightly clad, and not much veiled, and in the very went days of rolitical rese-i me nn rower has ever yet tbounht of putting the apra Fran coin. into mourning. Ani it is sot the government that we now amen et ill-treating as. We admit that in return for oar satire submission to the laws of the country, and for a lite rary probity of which we are proud, we have 'twain met with most paternal oonsideration from the administrative asthorities. Sometimes they have said to no, ' Figaro, my friend, calm you/self ; you are a good fellow, but somewhat heedless ; people like you bemuse you have wit, bat recol- Int that the present eget is won fastidious than that of our forefathers. Be more decent than N. de Voltaire—and if you break winds •a, break them as robbers do, without makings noise.' We are fain to oonfess,nionseigneur, that it has now sad then happened to 1111 OS to break a window as that the pieces have tumbled in the street. Oar pen is not a dimmed. When this happens the pladstineas group together, sad all the virtuous venous of the rissei-monde cner their hoes sad coy ' help, murder.' This, mrnseignear, is oar mime. We have unmasked some bypicrisies and wounded some vanities. The judges have been made to believe that we WI pagans without country or family, and the judges have sentenced us to fire end imprisonment. Coriesqupotly —pursuant to the present laws of the press—Figaro ('he patrimoey of • family) is on the brink of the grave. And yet the Mind of Beaumarchais was not born to die. He embodies the tnditiou of that supple sad lively wit which ender aver, regime has prevailed spins: the calumny of Betide. You may ventilate and interims him, but ass day be will jump up again like a jack in-the-boa. Thereto's, it has occurred to /Vero. as a wise prises you will say to yourself on coming into the world, ' I have dried many tears. PO2lO is eertaialy lest of a cairn tt an most of these that I have pardoned. Let as resters Figaro to life sad liberty, sad let him lean from as to be indulgent even ti vice and folly.' There, Id wi selgueur ear t etitioa Is in your hands. Don't say ao, sad Pigaro is saved. "Dolga to swept, monmigasur, the amaranth of my pro found reaped. *. name:). " A tn.; eopy.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, MAnci 11. There is imarcely a single fact of general interest to communicate from the camp. The frost has con. tinned severe, but the boisterous weather which pre vailed during the greater part of last week has gradually subsided, and the last two days have been comparatively calm and serene. The cold was very intense on the Bth, the day on which the last mail left, and it was the more severely felt on account of la sharp north wind which never ceased the whole day. The highest temperature in the shade was at noon, and then the thermometer indicated seven de grees below the freezing point. At 7 a.m., and 17 p.m., the mercury stood at 18 deg. F., and at a later I hour it fell considerably lower. Towards night, a slight fall of snow occurred. The following day the wind, though blowing from the same guar ter and sufficiently cutting, was leas strong, and the temperature gradually rose under the sun's influence, but, at the highest, was still four or five degrees below the freezing point. It was too cold for the usual church parades to take place in the open air. Yesterday, the 10th, there was scarcely any wind, and the atmosphere was clear, bright, and cheerful. The sun exerted so much power, that the hardened suttees became dissolved into tl e usual mud, and nearly all the patches of drilted snow gradually dis appeared. The hills and mountains to the eastward, however, retain their white aspect, and appear as if still deeply covered. At present there is every indi• cation of settled fine weather. The continued succession of storms greatly disar ranged and delayed the arrivals and departures of the mails last week. The mail due on Thursday last, the 6th, was not delivered till the morning of the 9th instant, and the mail due yesterday has not yet come to hand. Our latest London dates are at present op to February 23. The mail for England, which should have left the Crimea on the 4th instant, was detained, the mail boat not venturing to sea until the Bth, when another mail was made up in due course ; so that probably the two mails of those dates will have reached their destination together. The rifle practice, and many other out-door exercises of the troops have also been interrupted, for it was not possible to pursue them with any advantage in such inclement weathei. The rifle matches, which, according to announcement, were to have been held yesterday, did not take place. The spring race meeting is also postponed for a week. Arrangements had been made for a grand exhibition of athletic games, to have come off to-morrow, the 12th, but the state of the ground precludes the proba bility of there being any assembly for the purpose. These Crimean games are to consist chiefly of toot races, at long and short distances, and of trials of strength in leaping; some of the contests being open to all troops of the allied armies. A sufficient sum has been collected by sub scription for prizes of a very fair amount to be offered for competition. The Highland Division, at Kamera, are arranging a meeting for the celebration of High land games. Some fine drafts of troops from Malta landed at Bslaklava on the 9th inst., and marched to join their respective regiments in the front. The scurvy has ceased to a very great extent to exist among the French troops, but it has been fol lowed in same regiments by typhus fever of a severe character. The sick-list, in consequence, is union , tunately very high at present in the French army. It is reported that the lines of Ws which were for merly occupied by the men of the 14th and 39th Regiments, and part of which were used as a general hospital during the siege operations, have been offered to our Allies for hospital purposes, but that the offer has been declined. The health in our own army continues all that could be desired. The line of separation between the positions of the two hostile armies is now strictly preserved. Any stragglers who venture to cross the prescribed boundary are at once brought back and punished. MELBOURNE. (IT MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. (PION OTIR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
