In a letter to the Committee of Couna 4 l on Education, dated Nay 6, last mg, Lord Derby says, " I have long thought that a National Portrait Ex hibition chronologically arranged might 'not only possess great hiitorical interest by bringing together portraits of all the most eminent contemporaries of their respective eras, but might also serve to illustrate the Owns and rendition at various periods of British art. my idea, therefore, would be to admit either portraits of emi. neat men, though by inferior or unknown artists, or por. traits by eminent artiste of obscure or unknown indivi duals." After alluding to the probable extent of such a series as dependent on the number of latelielts that could be found, Lord Derby insists en the statet maistemante of the chronological aeries RS the point on which be 'should set the greatest value in an historical, if not in an srtistio point of view." There could be little hqpitution In pdopt ing a scheme that offered such unbounded behead and im portant historical associations, ind an inilite;rtial committee of go m eimi i ;:ince organised, consisting of the truism et liliaq•dhoileavairoJars Down to last evening the murderer of the woman Million, the housekeeper of Yeasni. Bevington, of '4 Cannon-street West, was still at large, in spite of the exertions of the City pelisse, the more erperiesee& of whom are engaged in procuring information NC to the acquaintances and connexions of the de ceased, in the hope of finding some clue to the mur— der. The matter is surrounded with more then4irdi nory diiiimilty from the reserve whisk the decoded herself appear/ to have maintained with respect to some atilt per sona with whom she was intimate. Persons called occa sionally to see her in the evening after business hours whom she was accustomed to see alone in the.. werehonas, and some of whom were unknown even by sight to the cook, Elisabeth Lowes, who was the only other domestic servant there. It was rarely that she allowed the cook to answer the front-door bell when it was rung after the partners and their workmen and clerks had left for the day. An incident occurred after the murder became publicly known which, in the absence of all other eine, may be mentioned for what it is worth, . ..hough the detective police are understood to attribute little importance to it. A man, it is said, called at a police - station in the neighbourh ood of Cannon-street, siel. made • etateinent to the effect that the deceased once gavo! evidence against a man who was sentenced to penal sem% tude, and that his sentence bad recently expir ed . Ve can not be sure about the exact purport of the communication ; but it said the man who made it had evidently been &jok ing, and the lieresogeant on detygave little modems kr APlalltras sadlemik irag when sober, and we lli tt.7we i gitr i tint, not since returned. If the deceased did give evidence on any trial, such a circumstance would be likely to be known I to her masters, Mesas. Bevington, in whose service she had been 10 years oentinnonely, or to some of their clerks er. workmen, and probably the police have made inquiries ea. the subject. At presisit, however, they are inclined to make light of the story from the condition and demeanour of the man who told it, sad from his never having returned in his sober moments, as reqnested, to repeat it. Sines I the murder they are said to have seen almost every knoll& I acquaintance the ellabeired bad dwing tdaiflast 20 years, but with little or no result ea far as unravelling the mystery at present itteloying the murder is sneerned.

Fienchinen to believe that the situation is not " desperate." He dwells upon the good advice given by France while most scrupulously abstain ing from expressing any opinion on one aide or the other, and upon the manifestations in favour of peace which have taken place in Germeny, as rea sons for hoping that perhapeafter all the irate parties may not come to blo*s, or at least not just yet. But whatever may happen, the ConatitutiOneec-as in duty keund, exhorts France to have confidence in the Emperor, and not give way to au " exsAge rated panic" which is discreditable and cowardly. A " moderate panic," it is to be inferred, lit Limayrao would have no objection to, but people should really learn to confine their alarm within the decent bounds prescribed by those Who claim a right to their entire confidence. The article, which deals in commonplaces, and is chary of reference to facts, feigns to suppose that the bare question of the Elbe Duchies is the only cause of the alarm in Europe. It has not a word to say about the rumours of an alliance be tween Fronds and Italy or the proposal of Prussia in extranis to reform the Federal constitution by the aid of universal suffrage for the benefit of L L Prom Havre.

The sum and substance of all it has to say is that if Prussia and Austria will go to war, the Emperor Napoleon, though very sorry, cannot help it, anti that his conduct after the war begins must of course be regulated by the necessities that may arise, to avert, in the best manner possible, " those geberal dangers which which result from all war, even for powers not immediately concerned." A more reassuring symptom than the Coustitts tionners article is perhaps the pain in M. Bis marck's feet, which the telegraph says confines him to his bed. There are contemporaneous rumours of his being turned out of office or at least being forced to remodel his ministry. General Prim arrived in Paris yesterday from England. He came from Calais by the express train, in which also travelled the Earl and Countess of Dudley. THE ELECTION PETITIONS. Three committees sat on Saturday, and the labours of two of them virtually terminated in the course of the day. In the Reigate committee, Mr. Gower, unable to withstand the weight of the evidence as to bribery on the part of his agents, withdrew from the easiest, and was accordingly unseated. The committee, however, expressed an opinion that the corrupt practices were resorted to with out the knowledge or consent of Mr. Gower. In the Ca mbridge case Mr. Torrens, one of the defeated candidates, petitioned against Mr. Forsyth on the ground that he was disqualified from sitting in consequence of holding an office of profit under the crown—namely, that of standing counsel to the Secretary of State in Council for India. The ques tion was purely legal and technical, and the committee decided that Mr. Forsyth was not duly elected. An application was then made to amend the return by sub stituting the name of Mr. Torrens for that of Mr. Forsyth, and it was not disposed of when the committee rose. One branch of the Nottingham inquiry was brought to a close yesterday, but no decision was given by the committee, although they intimated that they would not trouble the counsel for Mr. Morley to address them on the question of a general riot. The case for and against Sir Robert Clif ton on the questions of bribery, treating, undue influence, and intimidation has now been heard, but there still remain for consideration the question of a scrutiny, and the petition against Mr. Morley. It is therefore probable, although the case has already occupied the patient attention of the committee for 22 days, that some weeks may yet elapse before a final decision is arrived at.

It is stated that Austria, Bavaria, and Saxony have agreed to carry out a reform of the Federal constitution without any reference to the success or non-success of the scheme proposed by Prussia. The government is said to intend issuing a paper I currency in notes of one and two florins, which would be declared a legal tender.

King Victor Emmanuel further promises not to lay down his arms until the Prussians shall be in legal possession of the Elbe Duchies. The treaty is dated March 27, 1866, and signed by both courts. HAMBURG, APRIL 14. A rumour of Count Bismarck's resignation was current here to-day, and had a favourable influence on the Bourse. No credit is, however, attached to the report. VIENNA, APRIL 14. The state of affairs continues very serious. All the intelligence received is warlike. A courier has arrived from Berlin with despatches for the Prus sian Ambassador at this Court. VIENNA, APRIL 15. It is stated that several of the middle States are preparing a declaration, to be brought forward in the Federal Diet, refusing to take the Prussian motion for the reform of the constitution into con sideration before the great German Powers have demobilised. SrPPOSED FOUNDERING OF ANOTHER LARGE STEAMER WITH .ILL ON BOARD.—Another new large iron screw steamer, similar to the ill-fated London—Amalia and Grenadian steamers, is, we regret to say, believed to have foundered, with every soul on board. She was the Nerbudda, 1,357 tons register, commanded by Captain Hardy, belonging to the Bombay and Bengal Steam Shipping Company, and was considered a first class steam ship, having been built under special survey of Lloyd's surveyors. She was only launched last summer from Messrs. T. Ver non's shipbuilding yard at Liverpool, and having received her full equipment she sailed from that port for Bombay on ISth Nov. last, with a crew of about 50 hand.. There is no doubt she encountered the full fury of those disastrous gales which from that time until the mouth of January swept the Atlantic. The New York packet ship Albion, which arrived at Liverpool on the 21st November, epurted having signalled her on the 19th, in lat. 50 N., loug. Ii W., she was then apparently in distress, being under canvas only, but the weather was too heavy for the Albion to bear down for her. As time wore on the premium to effect insurances on her gradually increased, until at last it stood at 83 guineas net per cent. This was upwards of a month since, and since then the underwriters have settled their loss under fall belief that the unfortunate steamer has foundered, and will never be herusl of. She was con sidered as strong a built steamer as ever went to sea. Her extre ne length was 260 feet ; breadth of beam 34 feet 3 inches ; depth of hold, 21 feet 3 inches ; ship rigged, with engines of 240 horse power, and built with four watertight compartments. It is reported that insurances were effected on herand her cargo to the extent of 80,00 W. THE ADVANCE OF WAGES MOVEMENT IN THE BUILDING Taal/E.—lt will be recollected that when last August the London building operatives succeeded in obtaining an advance of one halfpenny per hour on the then rate of wages, making the remuneration 7jd. per hour, for a day of 10 hours, the masons and joiners gave notice another half- Wurtemburg and Baden are said to be ready to join Bavaria in forbidding the exportation of horses from their territories.

The official Bayrisehe Zeitung of to-day SAyS, "We learn that the Bavarian government has taken steps in order to prevent the present diffi culty between Prussia and Austria from assuming a more serious aspect." COBURG, APRIL 15. The Coburg Gazette states that, on the 7th inst., Austria addressed a note to the Prussian govern ment, energetically reiterating her previous denials of the Prussian assertions respecting Austrian arma ments, and insisting upon the demobilisation of troops by Prussia, in order to confirm the pacific declarations of that Power. THE HUNGARIAN DIET. PESTII, APIUL 14, Evxxixc. Both houses of the Diet sat to-day for the first time in the new building. The President of the Lower House, in opening the sitting, expressed the wish that the welfare of the country should soon be established on a firm basis, and said that the only means by which it could be secured was the re-establishment of a legal and constitutional state of things in Hungary. He stated also that the country earnestly desired that the Emperor should soon be crowned King of Hungary. to the employers thit they should require Scharf, with many other gentlemen known to lime made historical portraiture their windy, who ham siAeti the De partment of Science and Art in collecting the portraits, while the direction of, the exhibition, the eirt of the portraits, and the compiling of the catilekne beep in the hands of the South Kensington sta."/Ise last important part of the work Ifs. beei.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Mdlle. Titiena, since her recent triumphs in her own country, has returned to the wean of what have bow after all. the greatest triumphs she has enjoThl during her career. On Saturday night she made her first appearance this season in the character of Agatha in the Frcisrhutz, anti was welcomed by one of the largest and most brilliant audiences ever assembled within the walls of her Majesty's Theatre. Her reception was—we must use the hackneyed word as being the most expresaive of the fact—enthusi. antic. When she was seen on the stage at the opening of the second act, the house literally " rose at her." For several minutes acclamations of welcome rang through the theatre, and showers of wreaths and bouquets rained from the stalls and boxes. The same warmth of feeling reigned throughout the entire evening, and never was the great artist more worthy of her welcome. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. On Saturday Donizetti'a melodious opera, Lucia de Lammermoor, a work that no amount of familiarity can render wearisome, was produced. The principal parts were sustained by Millie. Orgeni, Signor Fancelli, and Signor Graziani. The two new corners, whose successful debuts in La Trariala, we have recently recorded, fully jus tified the favourable impression they then created, and in the case of the gentleman especially bore out our remark, that it was to be regretted that a better part had not been chosen for his first appearance. A petition is now in course of signature by the wives and mothers in the congregations of the various Roman catholic places of worship in the metropolis, pray ing parliament to forbid, under effective provisions, the refusal of free access to a properly authorised Roman catholic clergyman to the Roman catholic children, and the education of any such children in any other than their own faith In any poor house, peer-law school, reforma tory, or industrial school supported wholly or in part by taxes,poor rates, or county rates. THE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. —Lord Clarence Paget will, says the Sunday Gn :rue, retire from the Ad miralty and parliament immediately after the second reading of the Reform Bill. Lord John Hay has assumed the duties of Civil Lord of the Admiralty for the present, and the new commission includes his name in that capa city. When Admiral Drummond leaves to assume the duties of his command, Lord John will become one of the Naval Lords, and a civilian member of parliament will be appointed under another commission to the civil or finan cial lordship, which has now been vacant since Mr. Chillers promotion to be Secretary of the Treasury several months ago. MILITIA APPOINTMENTS. —A great fracas was made not many moths ago about a promotion in the Mi litia, which only caused a few disappointments and nothing more. Captains of militia are supposed to belong to a class of society well to do ; they are either of the landed gentry or retired officers—at all events, gentlemen of independent means. Now, the Gazette of last Friday informs us that a captain of the 4th (South) Middlesex has been appointed quartermaster to an Essex regiment. By the Army List we see that this officer joined the corps in October, 1858, and obtained his company last year. What is the personal claim of a young civilian who never saw active service to such an appointment There must be some ground for it. Quartermasters are generally old non-commissioned officers who, after meri torious services, obtain the Queen 's brevet to end their life in quietness and comfort. Why should a gentleman be permitted to stoop, and take the portion of a needy but deserving man ? There are probably even in the 4th Middlesex some sergeants who have fought their country's battles, and who are in all respects far better suited for the situation. At all events, the appointment demands explanation as a departure from precedent. —Army and Nary Gazette. THE ROYAL NAVAL REt3ERVE.—From a return by Captain J. T. Mayo, Registrar-General of Seamen, dated March 31, it appears that 20,298 volunteer* have been enrolled in the various ports of the United Kingdom. Of these 430 have joined the Royal Navy, 747 have been dis c 1,269 have died, 831 have not applied to be m eroteed, so that the present strength of the reserve is 17,021 men. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE REGENT'S-PARK. —Under the direction of the Hon.W. Cowper, Chief Commissioner of Works, great improvements are t a king place in the Re gent's-park. At the southern extremity of the broad walkparallel parterres have been already earned out by Mr. Nesfield, upon the model of the Royal Horticultural Gar dens at South Kensington. It is new proposed, and the wo rks have already been commenced and are in rapid pro gress, to extend the plantations to such an extent that in the course of a abort period the whole space between tbe road • from Chester-terrace to the Royal Botanic Gardens and inner circle on the eastern aide of the park will be laid out as garde n walks and flower beds. It is for this purpose that a mound of earth which rises at the present moment on th e eastern ride of the plantations exists. When the drainage shall have been completed, and the various ornamental beds pianued, the mould nom i posing this mound, previously sifted, is to be appropriated for their formation.

On Saturday afternoon it became known through the city that Wilkins was taken, and was to be brought down by the detective that night, and as he was a man who, previous to this offense, was well known and much respected in the city, a great number of persons assembled on the platform to await the arrival of the train. As soon as he got out of the wring he was put into a fly and driven to the police-station, and to-day (Monday) he will be brought before the ety magistrates. The unfortunate man ap pears much depressed and careworn, and seems to feel his painful position most acutely.—Birazinghant GENTLEMEN THIEVES IN YORKSHIRE. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. For a short time rumours of a vague and un pleasant character have been rife in the neighbourhood of Bolton Percy and Nun Appleton, near York. Captain Oliver, who resides at Moulton Lodes, has for the last three month' frequently missed articles of jewellery from his residence, and he was compelled to communicate with the police. This led to Detective Inspector Hockaday, of Wake field, being instructed to proceed in the matter, but all the astuteness he is known to possess was for some time at fault. Captain Oliver's domestics were questioned, but all denied any knowledge of the offence, and on a strict search being made their protestations of innocence were fully corroborated. The uetective was consequently com pelled to turn his professional tact in another direction. lie consequently visited York for the parpose of pro curing some printed handbills, offering a reward for the ditouvery of the offender, and there fortunately he met with his first clue to the depredator. During the time that the articles in questions were being missed by Captain Oliver, two young gentlemen allied to the aris tocracy were located with the clergyman of an adjoining village as pupils. Their habits, c o mpanionship, and agree able qualities gained them friends in the surrounding neighbourhood, and both became, in consequence, frequent visitors at Captain Oliver's =union. One of them is the son of an Irish viscount, and the other the nephew of one of our most wealthy English leers. To return to the clue before mentioned, however, it may be said flat it was found that on the evening of Friday week a young gentle man entered the shop of Mr. John Brown, chemiat and druggest, High Owes - ate, York, and asked that • gold snuffbox should be test eel with chemicals. 31r. Brown replied that it was dark at the time, but he would i gladly do so if his visitor would call in the morning. The young gentleman never called again. On the fol lowing day Mr. Bell, silversmith, of Low Ousegate, in the same city, also had a visitor who offered his examination several articles of jewellery. It was subsequently ascertained that the saws articles had been afterwards sold at another establishment in the city. To trace the vendor of these articles (which were apart of those missing from Captain Oliver's) was therefoic the next business, and he ultimately turned out to be the nephew of the peer above referred to. The articles, he alleged, were given to him by his companion, the youthful scion of Irish nobility, who, it may be stated, is but 17 years of age. These facts lead to the apprehension of the latter young gentleman by Inspector HOCkAllay, who, on Satur day lest, at the Tades.ter police s tation, brought him before Captain Sherm , a West Riding magistrate. He wis then charged, in the nsme of Henry King, with the rob beries at Captain Oliver's, but was remauded until Monday (to-dey), for the purpose of aildming evidence. The articles stolen were a gold seal, with red coreelian stone ; • gold snuffbox; six gold seals, with amethyst stones and gold settings; a gold watch, a gold locket, a filigree fan, a silver pencil-case, a gold thimble, two Dresden china me dallions, and an ivory box. FRIGHTFUL ETYL00114,74 AT THE DEEPFIRLDB.— Betwoen S and 0 o'clock on Saturday uieht last, a frightful explosion occurred at the furnaces of Mr. Thomas Turley, Deeptlelds. The 01111110 of the explosiun has not yet transpired, but the COMINURIICCII have lien most disas trous, one life being entirely sacrificed, and two others en dangered. The day workmen, it appears, had left, and all was found secure, and three men remained in charge of the premises. At about half-past 8 o'clock a frightful explosion was heard even at a considerable distance from the place. Those in the immediate neighbourhood of Mr. Turley's premises immediately hastened to the spot, and it was then ascertained that the tuyerc had burst in the blast furnace, and three men were discovered in the ruins. One was quite dead. His name is George Sanders, aged 18 years. The two others who sustained injuries were Joseph Swift, aged 40, and Thomas Snape, aged 30. The latter was resnered to his own borne at the Imelda& ELT, 31ADDINHAII, AND SUTTON RAILWAY.— Trsnie is to be commenced on this line on Wednesday.
