Commons is compelled to meanie tie functions of the Executive, let it at least read the Executive a Imam The public will henceforth pass over • self-confessed incompetent body of "authorities," and fix the responsibility on the branch of the Legislature which has undertaken their abdicated functions. For the past delay the House is but in part answerable, but it will be wholly answerable for the future. We have no concern now with the excuses of the Departments. Doubtless nobody has been to blame—nobody ever is to blame ; and accusers are always mere ignorant malignant'. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the work has been for years known to be imperatively peening, and that it is not yet even commenced ; that it is only referred to a Select Committee charged with the divided care of protecting local interests and doing justice to Ireland. The fact, whatever the explanation, will be added up among those for which the PiLMEERION Ministry will one day have to render an account. But from this time let the Committee and the House remember that the charge of imperial interests as well as of local ones rests with them. MUSIC. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. Judas Mcvxabeus, after an interval of several years, was performed lest night as Ezeter•halL This oratorio, though composed as a courtly compliment to the Duke of Cumberland au his return from Scotland flushed with his victory over the Jacobites on the field of Culloden —a compliment that can hardly be said to have been an appropriate one, for there is nothing in common between the hero who strove, against • host of foes, to rapport the indepeedenoe of hie country, and him who trampled oat in blood the dying embers of an almost extinct rebellion— contains nevertheless some of the grandest and most bean. tifel of Handel's inspirations. Judas Mooed:cur is Liao attractive, as it strikingly dis plays the powers of the great English tenor of the day, Sims Reeves. There was, therefore, • dewily crowded audience ; and their disappointment was very greet when, as the performance was about to begin, it was announced that Yr. Reeves wee disabled by an attack of hoarseness from singing. There was loud hissing —a thoughtless and cruel manner of giving vent to disappointment ; for a moment's reflection would have told these angry people that Mr. Reeves wee the greatest sufferer from snob • contretemps. Unfortunately for him self his health is precarious and his vocal organisation deli. cats, while many persons take it into their heads that he disappoints the public from mere caprice ; as if from mere wantonness he would throw away his means of subsist ence. On this occasion his place wee taken by Ir. Cummings, who acquitted himself very ably, and much to the satisfaction of the audience. Eke OrprelO• 00VINT4AZD . ZN. TRW Enema, THE ROSE OF CASTILE.

Um-. .A/Ammees. lb. 44m. LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 12. A QUESTION at least as important and pressing as that of the construction of an iron-plated fleet, has arrived at the stage at which Government takes on itself the responsibility of referring it to • ae'ect committee. This question relates to the fitting out and repair of our fleet, wooden and iron-clad alike. At present we have not in the whole extent of the Channel the means of fitting or repairing a dozen men-of-war at • time. At Portsmouth, which from its position must always be the dockyard on which we chiefly depend either before or after an engagement in the Chan nel, the existing resources furnish accommodation in the basin for only five of the larger or seven of the smaller class of vessels. Even these must bo so arranged, ou account of the contracted space, as to cause the greatest inconvenience and delay. AU the rest in wb;ch any work has to be per formed must lie out at anchor in the harbour, and the materials, stores, and workmen must be transported backwards and forwards in lighters and boats. The result is to double the cost of all work done, and to double the time required to ex ecute it. The expense is great in time of peace, but in time of war the delay would be disastrous. France has at Cherbourg 40 acres of basin— wharfage for a whole fleet at • time, and dry docks in proportion. Her fleet would, therefore, be ready, afters battle, while ours was still occupied in repairing damages. AU these facts have been for years patent to 1.11, and we have frequently in sisted on them in detail. Nor is there at Ports mouth any difficulty in extending the accommoda tion to any required limits. The harbour is an ex panse of many hundred acres of soft and shallow mud, the greater part of which is dry at low water. To dredge out a portion of this to the reqeisite extent and to enclose it with • sea wall is all that was re quisite. The soil is already the property of Government, and convict labour is at hand. Few cases have ever presented such • combination of urgency of requirement with facility and cheapness of execution. At length, last year, ' Government announced that it had really deter mined on the work. But when the estimates appeared there was no vote appropriated to it. The explanation offered was that some defect had occurred, and only been discovered at the last moment, in giving the notices required for the acquisition of some small p;ece of ground wanted for an approach, or closing some right of way. It might have been animated that the Standing Orders might have been suspended in a crse involving national safety, but it seemed otherwise to the Admiralty. This year, however, there was no such excuse. So • few thousands bare been set down for the work, and Government has nominated a Select Committee to consider whether it should be done, and whether the `•local interests" will be injuriously affected. The House of Commons opened its eyes when this course was proposed. No objection had been started to the vote, and member after member rose to protest their conviction that the work was necessary and should be proceeded with by Government at once on their own responsibility. But Government does not mean to incur respon sibility even in the protection of England's dearest interests, and so the House of Commons ia, against its will, placed in the chair of the Execu tive. A little relief was afforded to the solemn mockery by the impassioned demand of Mr. II EN- N ESST that, in justice to Ireland, an Irish member should be added to the Committee on Portsmouth Dockyard. But now that the Committee is appointed, we appeal to then, on the part of the . public to give no countenance by their pro ,' ceedings to the shuffiings of the Government. We know not what "local interests" may threaten the seat for Portsmouth, and move the alarm of the Ministry, but we entreat the Committee, for their own credit and the sake of the country, to make the inquiry a very summary and emphatic one. The Deed of the work is only too notorious, the ease of its execution is happily confessed ; there may be a difference of opinion about the precise details of the measure, but every one admits that it were better that any scheme should be adopted than that longer delay should be incurred. The Committee has in I . its power either, by a speedy and decisive report, to I enable the work to be commenced immediately and to compel Government to press it on with vigour ; or to be an accessory, and cover the negligence and indifference which has marked official action hitherto in the matter. Now that the House of Mg Cann. WINDSOR CASTLE, MARCH 11. The Queen arrived yesterday evening at a quarter before 7 o'clock. The King of the Belgians, Prince Alfred, Prince's Helena, and Princess Louise, dined at Marlborough-bocce, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington, General Count de Hoer barks, Dr. Keepl, and Major Cowell. Prime Alfred, Priam's Helena, and Princess Louise left London at 1 o'clock to-day for Windsor Castle. In correction of yesterd►y's account of the dresses worn by the members of the Royal Family at the baptism of Prince Albert Victor of Wales, it is to be stated that the dress of the Princess Beatrice was of Irish gu'pore lace over white satin, and that the christening robe worn by the infant Prince was the same wore by the children of the Queen and Prince Consort. The Prince of Wales rode on horseback yesterday morn ing, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Koppel, and paid the Ring of the Belgians a visit at Buckingham Palace. The Princess of Wales took a carriage drive attended by Countess de Grey. The King of the Belgian' visited the Prince and Princes" of Wales at Marlborough•boose.

The Book of Common Prayer, containing the principles and doctrines of the Holy Scriptures as set forth io the articles and formularies of the Established Church of these realms, presented with the earnest prayer that all the blessings to be derived from both these volumea may rest on his royal highness and his royal consort through time and eternity."

You have reminded me of the en. preesion of an English Queen on receiving a similar present on her coronation day, and I sincerely cower with you in believing that the Bible, and our I'rsyer•book, its exporrent, are so interwoven with our institutions and our love of order and freedom, that the sacred book has a peculiar claim on the veneration and affection of Eoglishrnen.

Even should further heavy lases, such as we have already suffered, await uss we must not lose courage, bat display toughness and en durance. In the consciousness of the parity of our cause, we shall still be able to cony our heads high, trusting in Almighty God, who will confer victory upon our righteous came. It would be impossible in the midst of war to de clare distinctly what conditions final peace will bring. In reply to a question from an elector whether the candidate would endeavour to withdraw the November constitution, the Minister replied : The opinion of the government has been stated in the answer of hie Majesty to the addrem of the Rigedag. He would fight with endurance and obstinacy for the independence of the country and the maintenance of the band between the kingdom and Sleewig. At any rate he would never extend his hand to loosen that bend. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. VISIT OF THE ARCHDUKE MAXIMILIAN TO LONDON. vim 001 OWN C011N8POIDINT.) PARIS, FINNAN ESTNINO. ___ _ The latest semi-official news of Archduke Maxi milian is contained in the following paragraph of the Pays : The Emperor and the Archduke Maximilian, with their suite, returned to the Tuileries at 5 yesterday evening, altar a capital day's shooting in the Versailles woods. Their imperial highnesses were to have accompanied their Majesties to the Opera ; but the party was given up in con sequence of the death of the King of Bavaria. To•morrow (Saturday) the archduke and archduchess leave Paris for London, where, as has been already stated, the arch duchess will take leave of her father, King Leopold, and the archduke will pay a visit to Queen Victoria. After a short stay in London their royal highnesses will go to Vienna to take leave of the Emperor Francis Joseph ; and thence to Mira. mar, where they will receive the deputation which is to confer on the archduke the title of Emperor of Mexico. The day of their embarkation at Trieste is not yet fixed; but it is thought that it will not ha later than the end of this month. Their royal highnesses will embark on the Austrian frigate Novara, which will take them to Civita Vecchia. They will pay a visit to the Pope, and the new Emperor will settle the clerical question in Mexico with his Holiness. After this the Novara will proceed direct from Civita Vecchia to Vera Crux. The ships destinal to form an escort of honour for the Emperor Maximilian are not yet designated. We believe ourselves able to state that the archduke is entirely in accord with the Emperor Napoleon on all points of the Mexican question, and that he his accepted the crown without any reserve. It will be observed that the above statement con veys a contradiction of the news of the Patne, that the archduke was going out in the French frigate Thends, instead of the Austrian frigate Novara. The Moniteur says that there is not the slightest foundation for the announcement of the France that General Bazaine was coming home ; and another journal says it has been agreed with the archduke that a French army is to remain in Mexico for four years. Under these circumstances, and if it be true that he has got his loan of 2J0,000,000fr., the adventurous scion of the house of Hapsburgh may possibly throne it in Mexico, and find things run quite smoothly for a good while to come. The Pays says it has "serious reasons " for be lieving that the death of the King of Bavaria will not cause any change in the political situation of Germany ; and that the young King, Louis 11., will leave the conduct of affairs in the hands of his father's confidential councillors, Messrs. de Schrenk and Pfordteu. M. Alex. Dams•, writing to the Pivsse from Civita Vecchia about the conflict at Rome between French and Papal soldiers, which the Moniteur coolly describes as of " no consequence," states that on one day (March 2) the French had 17 men wounded, and the pontificals 25 wounded and 5 killed. He says, moreover, there are now so many murders in Rome that nobody, unless pressed by urgent business, ever thinks of stirring out after 8 in the evening.

COBDEN AND THE SUGAR DrTlmt—Mr. Cobden has forwarded the following reply to a memorial from the Rochdale Tradesmen's Association in reference to the sugarduties :—" Loudon, March 10, 1t464. oen demon, — I have to acknowledge the receipt of you- letter respecting the sugar duties. lam no friend of custom•houses, as you know, but if duties are to be levied oo imports, the most equitable mode for the consumer of levying them is on the ad valorem principle. This no one will, I suppose, dispute. It is said that this mode ir impracticable io the case of sugar, owing to the difficulty of amassing the value of the different qualities. lam not quite clear that this is true. But if it be, it is another argument against customs duties, because it is an admission that they caanot be imposed equitably. As an approximation to the ad valorem principle, the prevent sugar dote, are framed so as to impose a different specific duty on several qualities of sugar. It is urged in opposition to this plan that it operates as a protection to the lowest qualities, and to the refiners ; and the fact addooed to prove this is that a very large proportion of the raw sugar im ported is of so low a quality as to require relining. I can not, however, regard this as a conclusive argument in the matter, for we know that large quaatities of copper ore are imported to be smelted in this emuitry, though there is DO duty oo copper or copper ore ; and I know the proprietors of an iron works is Wales who import very largely of iron stone from the Mediterranean, although they raise the same material at their own doors. It is quite possible that if there were no duty on sugar of any kind, it would be &dean tspous to import low qualities of sugar to be refined in this country, inasmuch as the cheapness of fuel, the greater capitals, and the superiority in labour and machinery, might more than compensate for the exposes of transporting the raw material from the place of _growth to our shores. This quits ,' tioo has been much force d on my attention, and I really do not know why, as I have no voice in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's arrangements. In writing to you, however, who stand in the position of my constituents, I think it re sctful to offer this explanation, and to add, as my opinimi, that if it should lie within Mr. Gladstere's competence to reduce the duty to a very mall rate it might then be al loyed to remain a uniform fixed duty. But if the present rate, or anything like it, be retained, then I think in justice to the consumer there ought to be ad valorem duties (which I am by no means couvisced is impracticable), or a discriminating scale similar to what Dow exists.—l remain, kc.
