First and foremost, the enormous Caravanserai at South Kensington is to entertain select representatives of all the arts and industries of the civilized world. But even Captain For x z's creation will not contain all, or nearly all, the " intending " exhi bitors, many of whom—for some reason or other— whether from failing to keep time or asking too much space—will not have got beyond intentions, and yet will probably make their appearance on the banks of the Thames, if only as " proselytes of "the gate." But of this miscellaneous gathering of the rejected, the dissatisfied, or the too late, there will probably be many disposed to set up some sort of rival, or in amicable phrase, " branch" Exhi bition on their own account, or by the aid of some bold speculator who has a new " neighbour " hood " to dispose of, and only wants the public to find it out. Besides all the ordinary shows of the season in London, there will doubtless be innumerable "specialities" provided this year for sightseers from the country and the Continent. At Sydenham, in that Temple of Art and Amuse ment, in which the Useful and the Beautiful are worshipped in all their forms, from the Pompeian House and the Greek Court to Binireur and the " Pitarri-r ever," from a RANDIL Festival to jumping in sacks, all the original and legitimate beauties of the place are to be freshened up and put in order for the gratification of our foreign and provincial guests. If the managers of the Crystal Palace will look sharply to the creature comforts of their visitors and to the means of con veying them without loss of time and temper to and fro, they may hope to date a new era of pme perity from 180;2. It is very much to be desired that the torrent of excursionists which may be expected to descend upon London between May and August should be diverted into other channels than the commence in the Cromwell-road. We are not building another Tower of Babel, it is true, but on this occasion we may be excused for hoping that there may be a dispersion as well as a confusion of tongues. How the approaches to the Great Exhibition am to be kept free along two main roads (for practically there are no more) is already a somewhat uneasy problem. If for no other reason, therefore, than that it is a diversion from South Kinuiingten, we should welcome the announce ment of a (;rand International Cattle Show to be held in Battersea-park in the week commencing Monday, June 23. Them is something healthy and invigorating in such a Show as this to eyes that have been feasting upon the finer delicacies of the South Kensington banquet. Battersea-perk seems rather out of the way ; so much the better. A nineteenth century Noah's Ark on the Serpentine in Hyde-park was a grand idea to tempt the susceptible imagination of an .-Edile so ambitious of distinction as the present Frs•r CoNIIII/114II)NER i.r Pestle Woke& Of course there were formidable interests opposed to such a monstrous disturbance of the providential I order of things. A charge of Amazonian cavalry from Rotten-row and a brilliant flank movement from Belgravia said Tyburnia might have seriously threatened Mr. Cownes peace of mind if lie had permitted an ugly rush of beasts into the sacred precincts; and the Administrator who had the courage to sacrifice Kensington-gardens to the, equestrian disorder, and to sneer down some forty thousand petitioners representing only women and children, the poor, the sick, and the infirm, is not the man to sin against his caste. Under any cir cumstances, Hyde park was the most incon venient and unfit site for a Cattle Show ; and foe our own part, we should have protested against any such proposal. Ilatterfsea-park has the double advantage of being near enough sad far enough ; out of the way, and yet easily accessible. The only regret we have to express is that the Inter national Cattle-show is only to last one week, but I.

In muds, and to the Lard High Commissioner et the lonian many, if not most, departments of industry and bland& set English exhibitors can hardly hope to bear away the palm from their competitors. If they have lest no ground in the last eleven years they Me be considered to have advanced a step. It is eselein that their rivals have not stood still. It is soi from Schools of Design that we can look for a revolution in national Mete while the ablest decorative artificers in our industrial cities are foreigners. In the science of the useful, British ex hibitors will find few that approach them ; in the cultivation of the beautiful, few that follow, or rather that do not distance them. But in Battersea park it is tolerably certain that Jonn Butt will be monarch of ell he surveys. French industrial art is perhaps not so superior to British as British agri culture to French, though within the last few years our neighbours, under the auspices of a few active and intelligent leaders, have made consider. able progress in farming. Men like the late Due DINCA7.IO4 and M. or LAVINONI, the President of the French Agricultural Society, have been ad mirable pioneers in this neglected region of national prosperity. M. nz lAvsaoee's contribu tions to the R, me .fen Ike: Mendes display en lightened zeal and careful information, and it is only reasonable to ',appose that he writes to be read. There are men of old family and estate left in France who are wiser in their generation than to sitand sulk all their lives long in the Faubourg St. Germain, and wbo have taken to farming as an it telligent recreation. The taste for country life b spreading, too, among the new industrial aristocracy. But these are exceptions. As a rule, agriculture, as a science, languishes in France and lags behind the age. The devouring evil of an overgrown standing army into which the reproductive labour of the country is absorbed, the excess of centra lization, and the extreme subdivision of the soil, are all conditions more or less unpropitious to agricultural improvement, and where these exist, high farming can only be cultivated as an exotic, by a few rich, curious, or eccentric men of leisure who have visited England, and are " bitten '" with English habits and institutions. The Ire noun of the Fames, it is known, has ask the fashion of model farming on quite an Imported scale, and the drainage of the Sologne will kelp his memory green when the Napoleonic bees have ceased to sting. France, however, is ask the only country which will be represented at the Show in Battersea-park. Other and less warlike States will, we dare may, bear off the laurels from that field of peace. If Normandy and Brittany are strong in cattle, they ought to flea worthy rivals in our Dutch, Flemish, and Slabs friends. Nor need JOHN BULL himself look down too pityingly on his competitors in the exhibition./ live stock. In the implement department he will probably divide the honours with his American grandchildren. But he will see his own Durhams and Herefords and Devon' opposed by Norman and Breton half-bloods, and his hardy Scotch and Welsh beads by the vigorous Swim and Dutch pure breeds, and by unmixed natives of the Pyrenees and the Apennines. Even in agricultural horses, England will not stand alone. Our Suffolk " punches " will be stoutly challenged from the plains of Flanders and Nor mandy. Our Southdown and Leicester sheep will receive company from Spain and Switzerland ; and our improved Essex pigs will rub noses with Anglo-Chinese from France, and our Berkshire hogs with Neapolitan "greyhounds." Nor is it only continental rivals that the Royal Agricultural Society has invited to Batterses-park by the offer of several grand gold medals of honour. Our own Colonies will be represented in the presence of their Alma Mater, and if we have Merinos from Spain, why not silky fleeces from Thibet, and per haps some near relations of the Grand Llama him self I WAR-OFFICE, JAN. 24.—The Queen has been graciously pleased to give orders for the appointment of Lord Lyons, K.C.8., her Majesty's Envoy Extraordioary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of America, to be an Ordinary Member of the Civil Division of the Firth Claes, or Knights Grand Cron, of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath ; and of Edgar Alfred Bowling, Esq., Secretary to her Majesty'sCornmisioners fo r the Exhibition of Industry of all Nations of 1851, to be an Onlinery Member of the Civil Division of the Third Class, or Companion', of the said Most Honourable Order. aszelle.

The picture styled "The Ransom," which is now completed, will, we believe, accompany this to the Royal Academy. The A thetacrum states that with regard to the o pening of the theatres daring the Holy Week, the Lord Chamberlain has stock to his point. He reminds the bishop that "the juradiction of the Lord Chamberlain extends only to the theatriaju London," and " that all other theatres throughout the kingdom, as well as the music halls end concert rooms in London and elsewhere are under the control of the magistrates." The lamas of the latter contain no reference whatever to Fusion Week ; and, therefore, the metropolitan theatres have all along been suffering from an anomaly by which some hun dreds of persons have been annually thrown out of employ ment for a week. The Lord Chamberlain adds that he has long had the subject, under consideration, and now acts "with the concurrence of the Secretary of State for the Home Department," who with him has " come to the eenclusiou that it would be right in this respect to Miliagate the regulations of the theatres under the Lord Obemberlain's control to those of the places of public sisenement under the control of the magistracy." Good lMay, however, in regard to the religious feelings of may, is still subject to the usual restrictions. The Commissioners of Patents have recently issued this manual report.

But it is not the dumb live stock that should compose the most interesting portion of the Grand International Cattle Show in Battersea-park. Doubtless a competitive exhibition of all the latest processes and results of the art and science of agriculture in its most complete developments should be productive of incalculable benefits. It is easy to understand that the lamented PRINCI, who, as President-elect of the Royal Agrieultursl Society for the year, would have officially sanc tioned all the arrangements of this International Show, felt a peculiar interest in its success, and, with his comprehensive glance at ulterior results, discovered in it the germs of moral as well as material ameliorations. His serene and earnest mind, we may be permitted to believe, had cherished the idea of bringing face to face the agricultural population of Great Britain— the skilled Lothian farmer, the West country grazier, ►nd the Yorkshire breeder—with the Nor man, the Breton, the Dutch, and the Swiss, not as enemies but as friendly rivals, not to blow each other's brains out, but to know and honour one another, and to learn to labour in peace and friendship, to serve the common cause of civiliza tion and humanity.

LIVERPOOL, PEDAL The Canadian screw steamer Norwegian, Captain ll'Master, from Portland (Maine) on the 11th inst., ndl Londonderry, arrived in the Meney about 8 o'clock this morning. The news by this arrival has been generally anticipated. The Portland Argus of the 11th, in an editorial on the rumour that the Washington government had agreed to let English troops pass through the State of Maine en route to Canada, mays : _ _ RUNE, Jug. 24.

VIENNA, Jas. S. The Prase of to-day says :—" We learn that Austria will propose at Paris the disavowal by France of the aggressive policy of Piedmont, on the basis of the treaties of Villafranca and Zurich." THE MEXICAN INTERVENTION. MADRID. JAN. 14. The Minister of State declared to-day in the Congress that Spain would demand reparation from Mexico on account of the war of independence. He stated also that Spain had received no official communication respecting any further resolution of France and England. He concluded by saying that Spain would fittingly support the interests of Herice. In a postscript to this article the Argue says : After the above was in type, we leaned, from a perfectly reliable source, the fact that permission has been given for the Hibernian, the next steamer due at this port, and which has English troops on board, to enter our harbour, and for the troops which she brings to pass over the Gra nd Trunk Railway to Canada, We learn, also, that the tender of permission has been made in te rms so oourteous and Imre nerved as in themselves to carry an assurance that the admi nistration has the utmost oonlidenoe that the peaceful rela tions of the two countries will not be interrupted. The Hibernian is under instructions to come to this port, land her mails and pamengers, and then return to Bt. John, New Brunswick. As at the time she sailed the state of things in this country could not have been known, the com mander of the troops probably has no instructions in mud to availing himself of the courtesy tendered, permitting him to pass through our territory, sad may not, therefore, feel at liberty to accept it. But whether he does or not, we are %idle sure that the friendly courtesy will be duly appre ciated by our English condos. On the same subject the Portland Advertiser says : On Thursday a despatch was received from Secretary Se ward, Meowed to the United States Marshal and all Fede ral When in this city, directing the *pets of the British government to ham all proper facilities for landing and conveying to Chemin or elsewhere troops and munitions of war of every kind, without exception or reservation.

Hail fell at Nice dunes the day of the 19th. ~ The Paris Constitutionnel, confounding receipt stamps with stamps on invokes, gives the following amusing picture of the way busies= la due in London shops. "No object is sold in the shops of London without being accom panied by • damped bill. li the purchaser neglect or refuse to take it, it is thrown into a box for the purpose, and sub mitted for verification to the occasional or periodical visita tion of inspectors of stamps. The infractions are next to nothing, so much is the custom in use." A Paris letter of Thursday says :—" The grand ball last night was more successful than the last ; and the toilettes rather gayer. Lilac, Bolferino red, and blue silks were greatly worn by the ladies, whose skirt, were also ereamantsd round the edges with little roams, trimmed with white and black lace, and the tops of their corgaiss with folds of white tulle, to prevent the effect of strong colours of the dresses contrasting too violently with their necks. Lappets did not make their appearance, neither did feathers ; but bows of false hair at the back of the heed supplied the place of both on thus whom nature had not gifted with very luxuriant locks. Those who were more fortunate wore their hair twined in large braids round their heads, which were studded with pearls and diamonds, and fastened be hind by goiden-hided combs also studded with the same kind of jewellery as the hair. The Emperor and Empress did not dance, and the company separated at an earlier hour than is usual." _ _ A bill aiming at the imposition of a tax of five centimes (a halfpenny) for every person attending theatree, halls, masquerades, and all other places of public amuse meet, was a few days ago presented by ten members to the Lower House of the Italian parliament. Leave was granted for a second reading, or " taking into consideration," and the bill is sow being discussed in the offices and committees. The proposal has created considerable opposition among the public. The tax is to be levied by a stamp affixed to the admission ticket. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the lath says " Tho final settlement of the Spanish-Moorish dispute by the actual payment of the money due as war indemnity by Morocco to Spain seems close at baud. The loan raised in London, added to a further sum to be paid over to Spanish agents at such of the Moroooo ports es the Sultan's government may designate, will complete the first half of the war iodemnity, upon payment of which Rod the fixing of the new limits at Melilla, it is stipulated that Spain shall evacuate Tetuan." ASSAMONATION AT PISA.—A letter from Pisa of the 20th says :—" A very disastrous incidentj has just oc curred here. Dr. M'Oarthy, a physician, long resident is this city, much respected and esteemed, was returning to his home on Friday last from Leghorn, and, on arriving at the railroad station took a carriage for that purpose. Two porters or jaccAini, as is their custom, accompanied the carriage, and notwithstanding Dr. M‘Nirthy's represen tations that he did not require their services, persisted in following him. One of these men insisted on carrying up stairs the small trunk which formed all the doctor's luggage, and he paid this man and dismissed him. The other, how ever, insisted upon payment, and though civilly remon strated with, would not leave the house, but continued to use the must insolent and abusive language, mingled with threats of vengeance. The doctor, Laing patience, at last rushed out to remove bite, when the fellow, drawing a stiletto, stabbed him twice in the abdomen, the wound penetrating to the intestines. After 40 hours of agonising torture, to which the largest opiates offered no relief, be sank yesterday and expired at 3 o'clock—the victim of a system which has now become popularised in the mark as much as the south of Italy. Of course no one dreams of the pnoishment of the aseassin, nor is there any like lihood that meioses of precaution will follow tide fent and infamous murder, though meetings of Bailie residents at Plea and Lisbon are now convened to address IL Itioasoli on the eiNeet."

SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OP TWENTY-PIPE LIVES. LIVERPOOL, FaU)AY. The Irish Channel during the last few days has been visited with heavy gabs, which have caused cowl decal's damage to the shipping.

The Journal de St. Petershourg of to-day con tains an article defending the Prince of Monte negro against the attacks recently made against him by the Nord, and eulogising the Prince's adherence to the national customs of his country. It states also that the Prince is obliged to develop, and to rely upon, the heroism of the people. "The conduct of the Prince towards the Turkish commander," sap the Joarnal de Bt. Petersbossrg, " proved his wisdom and forbearance as well as his readiness for war." CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. The Valetta, with the above mails, arrived at Marseilles at 8 a.m. this day.

Its customs tariff had been altered to correspond with that of the Ova. _ . . The Cape parliament had been prorogued to February 1. Separation was still advocated. Mr. Tucker had advised the people to rely on the British Government rather than on the Cape Parliament. Free State and Trauma! were uneasy from an anticipated war with Basuto'. Breli's people were dying from famine caused by drought. Trade at the Cape was healthy but guiet. The oidium had again appeared on the vines. The Briton arrived on the 15th December last EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MN OUR OWN PARIS, FIUDAYEvxmIa. For the first time for several days, the govern ment journals say nothing against the *United States, and the Moniteur, which hitherto has shut its eyes to all the evidence that the port of Charles ton was not destroyed, and faithfully echoed all the declamation of the Times on the subject, now takes note that the Times itself is in favour of a continuance of the policy of neutrality. These symptoms tend to confirm a rumour that the French government has for the moment given up its in tention to recognise the Confederated States. I hear that M. Grandgnillot, the great champion of the slave interest, will be obliged to leave the Pays. The Patric rejects as utterly absurd the surmises of the Morning Pod, that K Fould's budget has been in any way moulded upon the assumption of a new conflict with Austria, and denies that the latter power has demanded the disarmament of Piedmont. It is, however, quite certain that both the Austrian Emperor, the Austrian newspapers, and the Austrian officers have lately been indulging in much warlike talk. A journal published at Verona cries "To arms !" and, in answer to an assumed threat of Garibaldi to be at Vienna in August, says, 1 " Let us verify his prophecy ; let us take him prisoner, and show him in a cage at Vienna for the benefit of the wounded." This is the best Bourse, that we have seen since the recent upward movement. M. Fould appears to be triumphant. The false news of Lord Pal merston's death given by the Debuts having been contradicted by telegraph from London, the Rents went up to 77fr. 55c. for cash, and 77fr. 75c. for account, with a rise of 40c. and 55c. Mobilier rose 28fr. and the Italian Loan alb. Rail ways followed the movement. Orleans, Southern, and Lyons rose from 10fr. to 15fr. each. Bullier's Correspondence, while harping on the favourite French dada that a social revolution is imminent in England, at the expense of the bloated aristocracy, says by way of attenuation of such alarming intelligence, that Mr. Cobden, in a recent most remarkable letter to an eminent capitalist (a French capitalist I presume is meant), admits the necessity of radical reforms and the fact of agitation among the lower classes, but nevertheless does not think the situation threaten ing, and hopes for the "pacific fall of aristocratic power." Mr. Cobden's wealthy friend has written an elaborate answer, in which he takes • darker view of the prospects of England than his cor respondent, and it is added that both letters will shortly be made public. The sooner the better, I should say. English people are always ready to know the worst. The Parisians are about emoting a Crystal Palace on the plea of that at Sydowham ♦ eonspasy with • capital of 55,000,000 fr. is is mune el fsensation ; Sir Joseph Pastas is at the hood el the architectural depart ment, Mr. Merin (Marko is appointed sowialtieg sogineer, and Mr. Thomas Brassy is to he the oontreator.

An aocident oocurred near Portsmouth this after sow, which resulted in the leas of four persons, including Mr. Jones, jun., a government pilot, recently appointed in the place of Mr. It'DougaL It appears that about three o'clock her Miteths steamer Ithadamanthns left the harbour in charge - of Mr. Jones, who piloted her through the Channel to the fair way beyond th e "hone buoy. He, together with three see and a youth, then left the ship, and returned towards Portsmouth in a dockyard gig, the weather blowing nearly a gale at the time from &S. W., with a heavy sea rum*. On arriving a short distance to the south-east of the " spit buoy," a sea struck the boat, and eapdsed her. The accident was observed by James Prince, a Internists and two other men, who were in a wherry, reaching out to the Trafalgar, at Spit head, and they immediately bore down to the incased boat ; on the inverted bottom of which they perceived two per sou endenvoaring to save themselves. Before re sthiog them one fell of, apparently from exhaustion, and they were only enabled to save one of the ca-ew. • youth, whom they landed oa Soothes& beach, upon :which the boat was drives, being unable, owing to the heavy sea, to get alongside Soutbsea pier. The youth was afterwards removed to the dock yard , having sustained no serious injury. The other bodies have not yet been rooovered. Considering the state of the wee. ther, the boat was a very unlit one for such • service, ap► daily es there is generally • heavy broken ma off Souther Castle. when there is much wind from the south-west, south, or south-east. Mr. Jones, as we have already stated, has not been loos in the Queen's swine, and has, we under stand, left a wife and young family to deplore his untimely fate. SPORTING INTELLIGBNOR.
