At:moron one of those great parliamentary en counters which are becoming as rare as great par liamentary statesmen, was expected, neither the excitement nor even the attendance within the House last evening was comparable with that of Monday week, when the question of peace or war was to be decided by the First Mi nister himself. Out of doors, in Palace-yard— the British Forum—at the entrance of West minster-hall, which becomes a Court of the Gen tiles on such occasions—that omnipresent London crowd, whose origin, composition, and ways of life are a mystery to all meditative minds, stood gaping with harmless curiosity, and waiting for the arrival of the rival champions of debate, as they might wait for some dis tinguished pugilist Mr. Dtsassu, we hear, was recognised and greeted with extraordinary de monstrations of respect—a tribute of extempo rary public approbation which it is to be hoped may atone somewhat to the right hon. gentleman for the indifference, not to say fatigue, with which a selecter audience listened to his laboured per formance at the table. Perhaps it is not given even to the leader of the Opposition to achieve two triumphs in one evening; it is easy to under stand how the hero of an open-air " ovation " of cheap popular sentiment may collapse in the closer atmosphere of reason, argument, and respon sibility. But, truth to say, the mover of the Address to the Crown was destined to surprise his most ardent followers by a shallowness, a tricki ness, an ineffectiveness that might almost have excited the compassion of his foes, had the modesty been equal to the weakness of the effort. Unfortunately for his motley and miscellaneous party including some independent gentlemen of the Irish persuasion, Mr. DISRA LI I was more than usually rash, de fiant, and reckless in those passages of his speech which were not made up of craftily-arranged and qualified selections from diplomatic papers and despatches. Beginning with a quasi -historic prelude on the theme of Wars of Succession, the orator of the Opposition proceeded in a strain of protesting candour, which sounded out of tune, to put together with artful simplicity this and that phraso from this and that despatch of the Foreign Secretary, or conversation of this and that Ambassador, during the protracted negotiations with Denmark, Germany, and the neutral Powers which are described in some fifteen hundred folio pages of the Danish papers. If two lines in a man's h►ndwriting are enough to hang him, a far less ingenious commentator than Mr. Disaaext should have easily drawn and quartered a Foreign Secretary with a volume of fifteen hun dred folio pages at his disposal. But to take a line here, and a sentence there, and piece these pellets into an indictment, when a GLADSTONE, with the original documents in his hands, is ready to pounce upon that affected candour and make it look like nothing better than prostrate canning, was hardly a safe or convenient rhetorical process. Here was one initial and fundamental cause of Mr. DISRAELI'S prodigious failure last evening. Nor was this the only cause of a failure beyond all an ticipation in the statement of a case in which the speaker had so many appearances in his favour, and so much generous dissatisfaction and impa tience in the public mind to snpply what was wanting in impulse and reasoning to his eloquence. But Mr. DI , DA F LI made another irreparable mistake in trying to prove too much. Not content with proving one charge at a time, he exhausted his own ingenuity and the credulity of his hearers in endeavouring to establiah contradictory and even opposite propositions. The result was that every proposition he advanced opened a crevice in his armour through which Mr. GLADSTONE's eager rapier pierced with unerring aim. Mr. DISRAELI contends that the discomfiture of English policy on the Danish question is due to the alienation and estrangement of our allies, and our conse quent isolation in Europe. He urges that Lord R t•sartt " alienated " Russia by his despatches on Poland, and " estraeged " France by declining to join with the Emreautt in a war for the restoration of the independence of Poland, and thus drawing down upon both Governments the " haughty insolence " of Prince G.P.T.•if ()core. He complains that Lord Breaett offended the Emperor of the Fazsen by his " curt" refusal to take part in a Congress, though Mr. DISRAELI has himself described the Emenunt's invitation as "an adroit manoeuvre." He depicts the French EMPEROR as a modern Achilles sulking in his tent, whilst Denmark— THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1164. the First NAPOLEON'S moot devoted and suffering • ally and victim—is overrun by Prussian and Austrian armies, because England deoHned to follow the French eagles to Poland, and to sit at a Congress in Paris, because Prince Goaroamcorr deigned to , be sarcastic, and Lord RUSSELL was too honest ' and too straightforward to pretend to join a Con gress which he knew could never meet. Mr. Dumas= seems to think it a complimentary inter pretation of the Emperor NAPOLEON'S policy to im pute it to a petty peevishness and pique. And in the same breath he sneers at Lord Russem: for sending Lord CoviLay again and spin to " supplicate " for French concert and co-operation in endeavouring to effect a peaceful settlement of the dispute between Denmark and Germany. Obviously the counts of this comprehensive indictment defeat one another. Mr. Duerr= takes pains to show that England bad no interest in the settlement of this Danish ques tion, which was not shared by France and Russia ; he is careful not to suggest that England should have gone to war with Germany single-handed, and he reproaches the Government with being without allies, and unahlo to act alone. With what does he not reproach the Government ! He reproaches them with having spoken and written on behalf of Poland at a time when Mr. Disaaam's political friends and advocates in Par liament were continually accusing the Government of its indifference to the fate of Poland. Mr. Dm- RAILI meets with scorn the challenge to produce a policy of his own. "Itis no business of " Parliament," be declares, "to initiate a policy." " On no account let her Man:ores Ministers be sh " solved from their responsibility." It may be no business of Parliament, but it is the urgent and immediate business of members of Parliament, who are proposing a vote of censure upon Ministers with a view to occupying their places, to " initiate " a policy different at least from that which, according to their moot solemn testimony, has " lowered the " just influence of England in Europe, and thereby " diminished the securities for peace." Now, so far as the securities for peace are concerned, it would have been easy for a speaker with none of Mr. Gtarerrorrs's rhetorical and argumentative re sources, to lay upon Mr. Diana= the burden of proving that by not following France into war with Russia for the restoration of Poland, and by de clining to embark in a Congress of Paris on the troubled sea of all the European questions, and by not engaging all Germany singlehanded in defence of a new Danish frontier, Lord RUSSELL has dimi minished the securities for peace. No government, as Mr. GLinsrortz reminded the Opposition, can see far into the future. In 1869 Mr. Duman.' communicated to the House of Commons his own confident belief that peace would be preserved between Austria, France, and Italy ; yet within a week Austria bad despatched her I ultimatum to Turin. So Mr. Gianerrows is con tent to affirm that up to the present moment her ble.msrv's Ministers have laboured unceasingly, however ineffectually, for the preservation of peace in the North of Europe, and have themselves set the example of moderation and forbearance. If they have failed in persuading military and de spotic Powers to be equally just, humane, and peaceful, they have but failed, as Mr. CANNING 'ailed in 1823 to persuade the restored French monarchy to respect the liberty and 'independence of Spain, and to refrain from dis turbing the peace of Europe. Mr. GLADSTONE surpassed himself last evening ; but it must be confessed that Mr. DISRAELI, by the natneti of his logic and the hollow melodramatic thunder of his peroration, fairly delivered himself into the hands of a speaker who on every great occasion reveals some new power of thought and some unexpected grace of art.

The Moniteur °catmints the following :—" The military preparations of the allies for the war in Denmark continue on the largest scale, and the Prussian government is said to have the intention of successively seizing on all the islands in the archipelago, and of then endeavouring to reach the city of Copenhagen itself. The railways are still occupied in transporting pontoniers with their train, and Prussia apparently intends to carry her project into execution while the Danish fleet is occupied in combatting the Austro-Prussian squadron in the Baltic. According to information received, the German forces engaged in the campaign consist of 22,000 Austrians in Jutland and the north of Sleswig ; two Prussian corps of 24,000 men each, one in Sleswig and one in Jutland, one of 5,000 men in Holstein. Of those 75,000 men, 85,000 are infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 5,000 artillerymen, with 200 guns, of which 120 are rifled. In addi tion to the above are 17,000 Saxon and Hanoverian troops in Holstein. The Danes at present retain of I Slestrig only the small islands on the western coast, ' and the Island of Arroe, which the Prussians will have, it is said, some difficulty in taking. Twelve 'Danish vessels were, two days back, before Nord 'strand, to the west of Sleswig, ten others in the B a y of Eckernforde, and ten or twelve more were cruising before Heiligenhafen, in the environs of i the island of Fehmarn." (astrrn's ToLaawm) FRANCE. PARIS, JuLy 5. The Constitutionne/ of to-day, in an article signed by M. Paulin Limayrac, says :—" Independent of the publications in the Morning Post sad the de nials which they have received, there exists a con dition of things which occupies the public mind, sod which it is useful to discuss frankly. The tendencies to oppose a reactionary policy to modern ideas are, under any circumstances, likely to exist." The Constitutionnet then proceeds to show that a coalition is impossible, and says:—" In France the spirit of conquest predominates no more than the revolutionary spirit, but it is not the same in other countries. Can it be said that ambition is quite foreign to the war which has recommenced 1 If a holy alliance were really formed, and it would not be an easy task, such a coalition of the past against the present, and of governments against peoples, would only be dangerous to itself." England prepared to sanction that "compensa tion ?' When France begins a war she "goes on with it," and retires "either exhausted or triumphant." Would England have "endured unto the end P Would she not, perhaps, have with drawn just at the most critical moment 1 France remembers having to support alone the Italian war, in which she was carrying out British prin ciples. She remembers that she could not in duce the British cabinet to make any effort on behalf of Poland. She remembers that England abandoned the French army to its " courage and Its destiny" on Mexican soil, and having from all these lessons learned prudence France will not now go to war in company with England until assured "of resolute co-operation until satisfied honour permits peace to be signed." The France is not satisfied with the contradiction given by the Prussian embassy to the Holy Alliance despatches. It considers the " form of that con tradiction ambiguous." In reality it believes the Holy Alliance exists, but thinks France can afford to despise it. The Emperor goes to Vichy on Thursday, and it appears to be now doubtful whether before his de parture he will be able to preside at the meeting of the Council of State at which the bill for the repeal of the usury laws was to be considered. Ido not know whether in his Majesty's absence the council will postpone the discussion. Public opinion is certainly not yet ripe in France for the abolition of the laws against usury, and I am very certain that if the present Corps Legialatif were free to vote according to their own convictions an enormous majority would be in favour of legislative regula tion of the rate of interest. The country members especially stigmatise usury as the " scourge " of the small farmer, and do not perceive that this par ticular kind of scourge strikes all the heavier on account of the attempts made to restrain its action by laws which must in the nature of things miss their mark. The Bourse was heavy, with little business doing, and hardly any change in quotations. The English parliamentary debates are now the great subject of political speculation. The Court of Assizes of the Rhone last week tried M. Labadie, the merchant of Marseilles who was arrested on the let of June on a charge of attempt ing the life of the Abbe; Constant, vicar of St. Barnab6, a village near Marseilles, whom he sus pected of improper intercourse with his wife. As soon as the case was called on the Procureur- General moved the court, in the interests of reli gion and morality, to forbid the publication of either the indictment or the evidence, and an order to that effect was immediately given. After hearing the evidence and counsel, the jury returned a verdict of acquittal, to the evident satisfaction of the audience. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OD A COLDSTREAM GUARDSMAN. An inquiry was held by Mr. William Payne, coroner for the City of London, last night. at the Semen's Heed Tavern, Camomile street, City, ompeeting the suicide, under very extraordinary circumstances, of Edward Henry Hawkins, aged 24 years. Sergeant John Saunders, of the Ist Battalion of the Coldstream Guards, mid that the deceased was a corporal in that corps, but he had been Mooed to the make. For some time past be was quite altered in his manner, sod be would sit and cry two boars together, because he was dis appointed about • young woman. He used to neglect duty and absent himself from barracks without leave. He was confined in barracks as • punishmeot, and he got extra drill, and was reduced to the ranks on that account. On Thurs day night last be absented himself from Wellington Barracks without leave. Oa Saturday wham heard of his death. He had been five yearn in the regiment. Mary Ana Stetter., • young woman apparently about 20 yearn of age, deposed that she woe in the service of • gentleman's family residing near Repot's : park. She knew deceased for two years, and he was paying his addresses to her. Lately he became very jealous. On Sunday week they had • violent quarrel when they met ; and the next day she seat him a letter, in which she wrote—"l will never walk with you again." That letter preyed on his mind, and she met him by appointment on Friday last. He was much excited, and he said be would kill her. He said, " You shall never go back to your I home again," and he pulled out • knife, and drew it across her throat. The knife did not cut her. Witness said she would forgive him if he was not so cruel. He then proposed that witness should stay with him, and that they should destroy their lives together. She agreed to his proposal that they should take a room sad bay poison and die together. He went and took • room at the Saracen's Head Hotel, on the third floor. Than (con. tinned the witness), we went out in the evesiog to buy poison. We went to • chemist's in the City, but Ido not know the name of the plain. I remained outside the shop while he went in and purchased two dream of evanide of Kameda= The chemist said to him, "Be earful of this, fee it is poison." Deemed answered, " I know that, I want it to clean the gold lace of my uniform." We then returned to the Semen's Head and oat in the parlour for an hour talking. We thee went upstairs to the room. He then took oat the little box containing the poison and pre me • portion about the size of • bean and kept • piece the same size himself. He said, " I am truly sorry I have kept you from your place. It was all through my foolish temper. He then ' put the poison which he had into his mouth, mad I did the same with what he had given me. He fell upon the door, bat 1 vomited out what I had taken. I took • pillow off the bed and put it under his head. There was then a knock. ing at the door, and he said, " Mary, make no noise until I am dead." The servant called out, " What noise is that— ' what fell r I said to her, "He has *sly been drinking." I knew it was ponce. The girl came in for the light, sad food him dying one the floor. An alarm was mimed, and the police came. Mary Aon Lewis said that rho was servant at the Se raceo's Head. On Friday night, at 11 o'clock, as she was going up to deceased's room for the light, according to custom, she heard • fall. She saw deceased lying on the door, and asked what was the matter. Last witness replied, "Do not mind ; he has only had some drink." Witness saw he was dying, and she no down and told what she saw. Mr. F. Gordon Brown, M.R..C.5., said that he was called in to the deceased, and found him expiring on the door, and death supervened an A poimi-oradable took from deceased's pocket • box labelled " poison." It ion cyanide of potassium. From 3to 5 grains of that poison was sufficient to destroy life, nod deceased had taken • drachm. He believed that if the young womaa bad taken as much she would have been killed too. The Coroner having summed up, The jury returned ► verdict •That deceased poisoned himself .bile in a state of unwound mind," and they re quested that the Coroner should reprimand the young woman Mary Ann Stetter*, for her 000 duct in the affair. The young woman, who wee much affected. was accord ingly mild in, and severely censured by the learned coroner for haviog committed the serious °deem of having agreed with the deceased to commit suicide. The preceediega thee terminated. The 2nd Battalion of the Coldstream Guards leave the Wellington Barracks, St. James's, today, for • month's duty at the Camp at Aldershott. The Italian journals state that an " Ecce Homo" hes jail been disewered in an establishment of Jesuits at Milan, to which picture war adapted a curious mechanism by which the eyes opal.' be made to move. The probability of an early attack by the Danes en the omits of Germany hes determined the Princess Rosa of Prussia to lame the Isle of Bogen, when she had in tended to remain several weeks. A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The mag nificent appearance of the crops in all the agricultural dis tricts of Russia hare caused a fall of prices in the markets of the country. The stocks are so large, both in the ware houses and in the hands of the growen, th►t Russia is gua rant.-ed from famine, even should them be bad crops for two or three years. This *bandeau" and the low prim of grain, permit the exportation on exceptionally &vowed& conditions.

Luke's parish authorities with unlawfully neglecting Ler six children to the (Inger of life. Mr. MOW, clerk to the board of guardian., conducted the prosecution, the evidence called in support of which was that on the 22nd ult. prisoner took as empty top-room at the house of a Mrs. Fountain in Partin street, St. Luke's, representing herself as married and having two children. The following morn ing complaints were made by other lodgers of an infant having screamed all the night in the apartment occupied by the new caner, and on Bre. Fountain proceeding there she was shocked at seeing sitting or. the stairs two chit. dren nearly naked, and in a terrible state of emaciation, with scarcely any hair on their heads. On altering the room four others were seen lying about in an Almon like condition. The only furniture consisted of • table, • chair, and a small bundle of rags is a corner serving as • bed. tome bits of dry bread only and water were to be seen, and from inquiries made it was certain the prisoner had been out all night. The landlady o ff ered some sop to the baby, bat it refused tont. Between 9 and 10 o'dock that night pruner returned, and when asked why she bad br t the children there, some of whom were evidently is ating state-she replied that she would get them out se soon as possible, and that she had been obliged to make the false statement of baring only two, or not any pence would have taken her in ; but at the same time, ill as they - appeared, they were well cared for in every respect. She pat • piece of dirty rag. connate( sugar, into the month of the infant in lieu of suckling it, as she said she had not any milk. The whole of that night also she was absent, and the screams main were heard. The following morning she was seen with the poor baby having the sugar rag having from its mouth, and the ob served the screaming was natal with it-the mold Dot prevent it. She took the child out, as sbe said, to the boepitel, and again promised to get another lodgiog, but when she re tented put the infant down and left it for twelve bouts. On again geeing her, Mos. Fountain told her it was • most dreadful case-the children should be in the workhouse s:id the answer was, "I cannot take them sway." Sub sfequently the panah were made acquainted with the acts. George Fountain, the landlady's brother-in-law, dr scribed the place on one occasion as being most ■ickening— the infant lying in a corner with ooly a little Olin on, and the next Week sitting by the rags with its closed hands forced up beneath ite chin, and also with only &shirt on, Dry breed was the only thing be had seen in the room.

Naiad evidence wee given showing that all the children were is a frightful state from neglect, and that the one sees in court could not live long. Mr. Graves, from Mr. Viten', offices, contended that the child in question was in a consumption, and that prisoner had done the bast she could for it.

A meeting of the Conservative party was held yesterday afternoon at the house of the Marquis of Salisbury in Arliegtonetrest. In the absence of Lord Derby, the Earl of MALMTABMIT addressed the meeting. He lamented the unfortunate num which alone prevented Lord Derby from attending, and ex plained at some length the ream), which induced him to desire that the same mutation which had been adopted for the House of Commons should also be moved in the Hones of Lords, but on a day which would probably render the final decisions of the two homes as nearly u possible simul taneous. He then read the resolutioa, which differed only in a few words from that already the subject of debate in the House of Commons, and concluded by impressiog upon the party the necessity of perfect unity of action. Several members of both houses addreued the meeting, offering suggestions or stating their acquiescence in the course to be pursued ; but nothing eoald be more unanimous than the feeling of the meeting, which separated with an expression of cordial regret that in all probability it would be impossible for Lord Derby to more the resolution upon which they had agreed. It was understood that In Lord Derby's abeam the TOIIO - would be moved by Lord M►lmesbury.

To amend the title of the bill." THE DEHATE.—Yeaterday afternoon, an the hour approached at which the House of Commons was to assemble, an extraordinary amount of excitement prevailed in the immediate neighbourhood of the house, indicative of the interest taken out of doors In the impending debate, and re minding one of the gathering, in that quote, during the party struggle which preceded the passing of the Reform Bill. A great crowd of people had collected in Palace yard to see the members enter the house. and they did not disperse until towards 9 o'clock. The arrival of Lord P,lmerstou and of Mr. Disraeli waa watched with eager curiosity. The leader of the opposition made his appearance towards ball-past 4 in se open ear. riage. He was soon recognised by the crowd, and re ceived a few cheers as he passed, but faint in comparison with those with which Lord Palmerston wee greeted on his arrival about a quarter of an hour later. The premier, who wee in a close carriage, had been recognised in Par liament-street, and the cheers which his appearance drew forth there were heard io Palace-yard, and became louder and louder u be approached the house. Mr. Gladstone leant back in his carriage, as if to avoid notice, and so passed into the house almost wholly unobserved. In the half•bour trim a quarter past 4 the members arrived in great numbers. Ac Mr. Disraeli presented himself to speak, which be did about a quarter to 5, the house presented an extraordinary spectacle, resembling in its crowded stole end in the pre radios excitement more the eve of • division after some great party struggle than the nominal:moment of a debate, In the body of the house every available seat wee occupied, and the members who had arrived late crowded the side galleries or stood in groups below the bar. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Earl Grey. Lord Liao. over, Earl Powis, Lord Houghtoe. and Mr. Jetties Slue sat in the part of the house, immediately over the clock, suigned to distinguished obsesses, and is the sesta below the bar on either side of the entrance were Earl Result, the poet Tennyson. the Duke of Argyll, the Bishop of Ox. ford_ and many other persons of sots. Both the Speaker's and Strangers' Galleries were crowded during the eight, and score* who had orders for the one or the other waited in the adjoining lobbies in the hope of being admitted. The Eirl of as:sedan lilt the °wale. The Primes and PAM= Louis of Heise, and Prince= Helena, went to Bockingluun*Palato this evening, attended by Lady Caroline Barrwgtoe, the Hon.

Their Royal Highnesses inspected the several wards of the hospital, sod afterwards partook of luncheon with the President and Governors of the Hospital. The Prince of Wales, acoompanied by Prince Linings°, and attended by Captain Grey, rode on hemstitch.

THE PILINCS AND PRINCESS OP WALES AT THE LONDON HOSPITAL. Yesterday the ceremony of laying the founda tion stone of the new west wing of this building ins per• fornied by his Royal Highness the Prises of Wales in the preestes of a large and distinguished sereniblage. As usual on such occasions, every possible arrangement was made for the acoommodation of the more fortunate portion of the compsay who were expected to see the ceremony. A guard of honour was formed by the Hon. Artillery Company, whose band was also in attendance. His Ravel I Highness, accompanied by the Princess of Wales and the I Duke of Cambridge (the president of the hospital), and at. tended by the Countess of Carmarthen and General Knollys, having presented themselves on the platform, in the oentre of which stood the foundation stone, the national anthem was sung by • choir selected from those of the Chapel Royal, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul's Cathedral, under the direction of Hr. Frencis, and accom panied by the band of the Honourable Artillery Company. An address from the president, vioe-preeidenta, treasurer, house coinmittee, and governors of the hospital was than presented to the Prince of Wales by the Dukeof Cambridge, thanking his Royal Highness for his ready acquiescence in the request that he would perform the ceremony of the day, and recounting a few statistics connected with the progress and oondition of the hospital. It went on to state that the building had become totally inadequate to the increasing necessities of the neighbourhood ; and considering the fact, that of the 4,226 patients received into the house is 1863 no less than 2,396 were cases of severe accident, and 1,372 were of an equally urgent and extraordinary nature, it was felt that the time had arrived for the extension of the premises. Such extension had been ably and economically planned, and it was believed that the presence and co-operation of his Royal Highness on this occasion had contributed in no slight degree to the highly saucerful result which it was confidently expected would attend the laboars of the day. The Prises of Wales, in acknowledging the address, esid—" Your Royal Highness, ladies and gentle men, I thank you for your kind expressions towards me. It is &source of great gratification to me to be present at the enlargement of an institution of which my illustrious relit. tive (who is ever foremost in works of charity) is the presi dent. The call for this new wing has been made so manifest by the increased numbers applying for admission, that I moat heartily subscribe to the necessity of completing so good ► work. The statement you have made leaves no doubt in my miod of • successful result, and it is an additional pleasure to me to have the privilege of con• tributing towards the funds requisite for the purpose." A form of prayer was then gone through, under the guidance of the Bishop of London, and the foundation stow was laid, the Prince of Wales applying • handsome silver trowel in the usual manner, and the Princess giving, after his royal highness, three gentle tape on the stone with an elegantly carved mallet which she held in her left hand. The Bishop of London having invoked the Divine blessing and pro nounoed a benediction, the ceremony was concluded by the performance of the Danish National Anthem by the Honourable Artillery Company. The royal party then proceeded to view the wards of the hos pital, and afterwards joined the company at a banquet prepared in the grounds of the hospital in a tent con structed by Hr. Benjamin Edgington for the accommodation of upwards of a thoussod persons. The Duke of CAIIMEDGI presided, and having gives " The health of her II ejesty the Queen," proposed, amid loud cheers, that of " Mir Royal Highness's the Prince and Prisons of Wales." The Prince of Weise, in returning thanks, said it would indeed be unbecoming in him, after the kind and flattering manner in which his illustrious relative had proposed his health, if he did not rise to thank him. He could ware the company around him that it had been • source of much gratification to the Princes' end himself to be present on this occasion. They both felt en interest in all the public institutions of this country ; and none were more important than the hospitals, the London Hospital being certainly amotiget the most valuable. He had taken this oppor trinity of looking through some of the wards of the balding, end could therefore speak, from his own testimony, to the perfect state of efficiency observable therein. There could be no doubt that this additional wing would be of very material use, but he hoped that it might never be full, and that the hospital might always have as few patients as possible. (Loud cheering.) The Prince of w Aus then proposed " Prosperity to the London Hospital," and the tout having been acknowledged by Mr. T. Powell Buxton (the chairman of the house cow. mates). the Rev. Mr. Rowell gave "The Health of his Royal Highness the Chairman," who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the royal guests took their departure. The architect of the new wing is Mr. Charles Barry, end the contractors are Messrs. Hill and lieddell, whose esti mated charge for the work is 23,000/., and to meet this claim DO less • mum than 30,000 f. was announced a having been subscrib,ol in connexion with the event of the day. The wing will be capable of accommodating 200 additional patients, end there will be separate wards for Israelites. By permission of her royal highness it will be called the " Alexendrs" wing. The banquet, which was of the most sumptuous character, was supplied from the elastic resources of the London Tavern, under the direction of Mr. Fudge ; and the duties of toastmaster were discharged by Mr. Harker. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge lad Priam. Yary will hooour Lord sod Lady Rokeby by their campaey on the 11th inst. at Montagu House.

A semi-official article in the Pays shows that the French government thinks it expedient (while the important parliamentary debate in London is going on) to instruct its journals to speak more favour ably of England than they were told to do a few days ago. It is clear that France does not wish to see the Palmerston cabinet upset. The Pays com mences by observing that Denmark would cer tainly gain nothing by the accession to power of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli. It then upbraids the tones as the natural allies of all that is antiquated and despotic in Europe. That ten dency of the tory party was shown during the negotiations which preceded the Italian war. It might have been thought that if ever there was au enterprise with which the people of England were likely to sympathise that of emancipating the peninsula from Austrian domination was one. But when the question became a practical one Lord Derby was First Lord of the Treasury, and Lord Malmesbury Minister of Foreign Affairs—the tones were is power, and they abandoned the cause of civilisation and liberty in order not to offend Austria. It is true that the whip, represented by Lords Palmerston and Russell, have not always done that justice to the imperial government which was its due, nor shown that confidence in it which it deserved. They are open to the reproach of having frequently, by their caprice, ill humour, and jealousy, done harm to the cause of that good understandicg which, in the interest of the world and the progress of civilisation, ought not for a single day to be wanting between France and Eng land. But after all the Pays is good enough to say :—"Perhaps one ought to see in this caprice and this jealousy nothing more than the natural consequence of the situation in which England now finds herself. She feels that she has not done what she ought to have done, and nations, just like individuals, are disposed to blame others when they ought to be dissatisfied with themselves." Therefore the Pays desires to be "indulgent," and to hope that time and reflection will bring the English government into a more equitable frame of mind as regards the past, and a better understanding with France for the future, pursuant to those " moral affinities and matrial interests" which should ever draw France and Eng land towards each other. Towards the end of the article, notwithstanding the new instructions in pursuance of which it is evidently written, the bitter feeling comes out again. England is "humi liated as a great power more than she will confess," but of course she must know that she has no just reason to complain of France.• British statesmen know how to calculate. Lords Palmerston and Russell must have calculated what a " large compensation" the Emperor must have re quired to reconcile his people to the enormous sacrifices in men and money which would h►ve ' been inevitable to carry on 1111011 • gigantic war as that in which France was expected to join. Was •Y. Prevost P•radol, writing in the Costrrier do Dimaarhe, doe• not think so.
