Tau decision arrived at by the commanding offi cers of metropolitan volunteer corps who assembled at the War-office on Saturday to rediscuss the pro gramme of operations to be carried out at the Easter Monday review at Portsmouth, has, as might havo been anticipated, disappointed everybody concerned, excepting, perhaps, a few lodging-house keepers who may possibly reap a richer harvest by the new arrangement. The grandest feature of this annual demonstration is to be dispensed with. The most important lesson of the year which is given to the volunteers of the southern provinces is to be withheld. Instead of a mimic fight and the advantages which it offers' for obtaining a knowledge of the science of actual warfare, the great volunteer carnival is to degene- I rate into a mere holiday show of numbers. Lord EnrCiio has, in the cohltans of this morning's Times, confessed that the proposed field day has broken down. But it has only broken down because, ' owing to the unparalleled numbers attending the 1 1 review, it has been found to be utterly imprac ticable to catry out both features of the original plan. If the mimic fight be re tained in the programme, the mere parade ceremony of a " march past " must be aban doned, because a distance of four miles intervenes between the parade ground and the battle ground, and the undulating character of the latter would render any regular formation of the troops for the preliminary show impossible. The only battle that has beat fought or is to be fought is a battle of conflicting interests ; and the question of practical utility, which has hitherto most properly been held to be of paramount consequence, has now been made subordinate to other considerations. The authorities have aban doned the responsibility of moving some 12,000 or 15,000 men a distance of four miles after the grand prelude to the operations, and have re solved to attempt the manoeuvring of some 20,000 or 50,000, with a large force of Artillery, on a narrow strip of land, having brick houses for its boundary on the one side and the ass for its boundary on the other, on which it has hitherto been difficult to manoeuvre even the 4,000 or 5,000 troops usually forming the strength of the garrison of Portsmouth and the adjacent outworks. If, considering the immense concourse of spectators who are certain to be present, the Commander-in-Chief is enabled to handle this great body of volunteers without their being involved in almost inextricable conf u elan, he will accomplish a feat which will entitle him to the highest praise ; but such an achievement is exceedingly problematical, and the gallant officer must uae more effective measures to secure this result than have usually been employed on similar occasions. Cynical people may be disposed to cavil and marvel that there should be any real difficulty in the manipulation of a force of 30,000 men within the line of fortifications which are intended to pro-1 tect the greatest naval arsenal in tbe United Kingdom, and we are bound to acknowledge that the circum stance appears rather an awkward one; bntif unplea sant inferences are drawn by the critics at home .andabroad there will be some consolation in the fact that the difficulty is more apparent than real, and that it simply arises from the attempt to combine two things which together are impracticable. What the result gill be as affecting the action of the volunteers thentaelvcs remains to be seen ; but it would not be unreasonable to expect a consi derable falling off in the numbers which have announced their intention to be present. Lord Eteno clearly anticipates such a result in his letter to the Times. While admitting that the change in the programme is a great and grievous disappointment to all concerned, he expresses a hope that it wM not affect the decision already arrived at, because if the volunteer force is to be maintained at its present strength an increased parliamentary grant will become necessary. The congregation I within a few hours of such an impaling force on Southsea-common could not MI, het thinks, to impress spectators and the nation at large with the value of the force as a defensive power, and it might not be unreasonably ex pected that that impression would find an echo in the House of Commons, should the subject of the capitation grant again come up for discussion. Lord Eaouo bases his plea upon the ground which would naturally be taken by an enthtaimitic volun teer, and the instinct of obedience will no doubt prevail as far as his own followers are concerned. But, rather than that the review of 1868 should! be conspicuous in the history of the volunteer move malt as a gigantic failure, it is to be hoped that some further modification of the plan of opera tiona will be agreed upon, and that the final ar rangement will not only save the volunteers them- IF our collegians adopt half the hints proffered them by self-constituted advisers, we may expect something wonderful in the rowing of the future. It is surprising how much we all know about dif ferences in style, and swing, and stroke. A glance through this morning's papers shows us that whatever the Oxford and Cambridge crews may think of their own performances their judges are dissatisfied. Cambridge was not up to the mark, and Oxford was very little better, is the burden of many a journalistic song. Allowances are made in some quarters for the narrowness of the Cam, against which it is pertinently urged that in former times, when Cambridge won seven, times out of eight, the Cam was no broader than at present. Some of the Oxford men are said to have been over-trained and to have fallen into I confusion during spurts, but notwithstanding this ' and other disadvantages, it cannot be denied that Saturday's race was the shortest upon record. We incline to the belief that out of the multitude of dreadfully knowing counsellors who are just now administering rebukes, may be one or two who are not so profoundly conversant with the subject as they would have us conclude. The men themselves undoubtedly did their beat, and both Cambridge and Oxford are alive to their own I defects and earnest in their resolve to remedy them. But when we read of "an incurably " vicious style ;" and of a " Wee and rotten " system of teaching," and remember the appear ance of the °two crews as their boats glided up at the finish, the criticism seems needlessly harsh and sweeping. London is indebted to the Univer sities for an important addition to her annual festivals, and this was never more enjoyed than on Saturday. The excellent people who condemn both eights should remember that there is such a 'thing as looking gift horses in the mouth ; and that over-teaching and worrying sometimes hampers the practice and dashes the spirits of the taught. Examen society is to be again regaled with the sufferings and sorrows of the Treviata. We had) been sanguine enoughto hopethat this personage had 'run her course, and haying gone to her long home, ' wadi live only in the memories of her admires. But*e musical fates have decreed otherwise, ad nothing better can be found for " a young and pre " pommeling stranger" than a part which has, in addition to other objections, the unpardonable one of being hacknied and stale. The papal this, morning speak warmly of Mdlle. li.m.Looo's per. ) foment* on Saturday ; and we have the usual dimertations upon " phthisical unfortunates ;" " tree and heartfelt sentiment ;" " absolute degree" dation ;" and " rollicking gaiety." People . who cavil at the teat are not likely to appre ciate the memos • and we confess to an absolute dieted* an d weariness for the entire sub jeot. Is it not enough that one fascinating little lady should have been made to win the hearts of London by her graceful impersonation of an ob jectionable character • that a new name has been conferred upon a repu lsive and unhappy clams ; and that • false halo has been oast round impurity of life the effect of which is to confuse the perception, of the young and inexperienced as to the mall.- nth distinctions between right and wrong flra have as strong an objection to morbid feeling Mi l most people ; but we are compelled to record mit t ..Protest against the taste which selects this one opiih, Wisest appropriate for the fathers, mothers, cad :; daughters of England.

He examined Lord WILLOUGHBY, and he obtained independent oral testimony as to an im portant document which had been entrusted to'' that chivalrous nobleman, and had been unfortu- 1 nately mislaid by him. On this basis, he came' to what seems a sound decision enforcing the pre vious agreement which had taken place between the two parties. He orders a lump sum of 5,0001. and an annuity of 1,2001. to be paid to the Countess D'ALrevaae. The document containing the award is a curious one. Mr. HARCOURT is a great man for going down to the bottom of any matter with which he deals, and he commences by stating the principles on which his award is based, as a Roman praetor might state in his edict the rules of law by whiehhe intended to begoverned. Have we here the beginning of a new code for a court of quasi-matrimonial cams 1 It would have been better, perhaps, to have been lees am bitious and more quiet. The object of arbitration is to hush up a scandal and not to publish it. Larrsas which we have reoeived this morning from Members of the Abyssinian expedition, bear ing date March 14, state that THBODORS, although very near Magdala, was not able to place his heavy cannon within that fortress, and, according to report, was entrenching himself clue it with 24 guns. It was said at head-quarters that our troops would be there by the end of the month ; but this was thought too good to be true. The difficulty was the road-making ;in every other respect the force was ready to proceed as fast as the most impatient could desire. A letter bad been received from Mr. MIINZINUZII, dated Let, a large village 75 miles further on. He de scribes the line of advance before our men as lead ing over execrable roads, through a picturesque country which is well cultivated and affords abun dant supplies. A string of 41 elephants arrived at the camp near Antalo on the 12th, eliciting from the Abyssinians the enthusiasm and wonder which a solitary specimen of the race produces among the juveniles of an English town. Twenty of the animals are to carry the four Armstrong guns and their carriages ; eight of them the 28-inch mortars and the equipment of shell ; while the other thirteen are devoted to the more ignoble task of bearing commissariat stores. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE GOVKIIIMIXT DIYEAT. A diligent analysis of the division list shows the Standard that the liberal triumph of Friday is of a race unrubstaotiol character. The lamas followed their leader into the lobby almost to a man, but they did so npou terms and under reservations which prove that they were determined not to compromise themselves. In spite of the vote of Friday the House of Commons is still unpledged, even in theory, to the disestablish men! of the Irish church, and the understanding that it was not to be so committed we. the con- dition precedent of the vote. All that the house has de. clued ia its readiness to go into committee. Beyond that the vote of Friday has no signifies:ice, save as indicating a disposition on the part of parliament to take the question in band without delay. When the resolutions are brought on ter discussion, one by one, Mr. Gladstone will have an opportunity of testing the strength of that tie which has temporarily fused the liberal party into • harmonious whole, and has almost restored the majority Lord Palmer ston obtained at the last general election. Let Mr. Glad stone run over the list of his supporters on Friday, and count up the sum total of those upon whom be an reckon as unwavering adherents in the struggle which comment:es after the Easter recta& Besides, the protestant feeling of the country is fairly aroused. Touching on the future disposal of the ecclesiastical pro. party, the Times remarks that there is abundance of time to consider this point, of which it is possible the new per• Bement may take a view of its own. Due regard being I had to all vested interests, even to the case of college Fellows expecting their turns, and curates serving with a i view to preferment, the available funds will accrue very slowly indeed. However, in the natural ooutse of things, • score livings or so will fall vacant in the course of the first twelvemonth. What are we to do with them A distribution between the several religious bodies would have • very fair, deooroes, and methodical appearance, but there are points of great delicacy to be settled, re• wailing time, and possibly some little negotiation. But all that is for next year and the parliament of the future, and perhaps we may now thank ourselves that we do not see all the trouble that we and our predecessors have thrown on their hands. *, Aram 4. as Louise, 'sad Miss • Wt Saeldashael M I o'clock, mid arrived at Wiadsor Castle shortly -- Hat Majesty and the Royal Family dove in open ear. 714113 rnd toy r to the railway station at Paddington, escorted by a detachment at the 3rd Hussars, where a special train was in readiness to convey her Majesty to Windsor.

A Cabinet Nuncil was held on Saturdqy at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. The Ministers pre sent were the Right Hon.

Despatches were sent on Saturday from the Colonial office to the Governor-General of Canada, and to the Go remora of British Honduras and British Columbia. Mr. Disraeli knows very well, says the Dadp News, that the votes of Saturday morning are really decisive. Upon the subject of the Irish church establishment the mind of the liberal party has long been made up. The absentees from the liberal ranks were few, and they will have to explain why they were not at their poste. The dinners to the opposing party were yet fewer ; and their menus are unfamiliar even to the nowt observers of Parliamentary life. So obscure for the peat part are they that un tit " Dee' was eonsulted the analysts of the divi sion cannot have known whether they called themselves tones or liberals, or whin plum they repreasted.

THE ROYAL PAINSAUE THHOEGH NORTH WALEtI. It is not yet finally settled whether the Prince and Princess of Wales will stay at Bangor on their way to Ire land or on the return journey, but it I. most probable the latter course will be followed. The consent of his royal highness to make, at least, • few hours' stay in the Princi pality whence he derives his title was obtained by the High Sheriff of Carnarvonshire, Mr. R. Lortin Parry, who on Tuesday last waited upon the Prince at Marlborough hones, and conveyed to him the wishes of the inhabitants of the county. The announcement of the intended visit of the Prince and Princess has created the utmost enthusiasm in Carnarvonshire, and • public meeting will be held in the county town to-morrow for the purpose of "taking counsel as to the best manner of giving his Royal Highness -the Prince of Wales a fitting reception into his prin. On Saturday afternoon their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur and Prises Christian, attended by Colonel Gordon, visited Mr. Frank Baskland's museum of economic fish culture at the Royal Horticultural Gardens. Mr. Bnekland (accompanied by Mr. Henry Lee, F.L.8.) ex plained the rocas of hatching salmon and trout by arti ficial means. Their royal highneems also examined Mr. Rockland's various casts and models illustrative of salmon and oyster culture. The Duke of Cambridge entertained the Duke of Wellington, the Earl Stanhope, the Bight Hoe. Robert Lowe, and • large party at dinner, as Saturday, at Gloa esencr Roues.

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 6. THE DO RION ON THE 11.18 H CHURCH. Tut division lists of Saturday morning upon I Lord STAllLay's amendment, and Mr. GLADSTONZ'S motion for going into committee on the acts re biting to the Irish Church, are as instructive a subject of study as the four night's debate which went before. No,cit.o . a sociis is a sound political motto. Let us know with whom a mar. goes into to lobby, and we do not need his speeches to declare his real mind. One vote outweighs a spore of professions. The division upon the Irish Church questionformed a near approach to what in American parlance is called a strict party vote. We have not the phrme in England because w e have ceased to possess the thing. The rupture of political tier which the events of the last 20 years have brought about is one of the moat remarkable features in English polities. The conversion of Sir Rosser Pr.EL to free trade and the secession of that eminent at Unman and his followers from the main . . body of the Tory party was the first step towards the disintegration of the old political c. , nnectiom , The long reign of Lord PALNEWITON did much to efface the lines of party separation, by setting aside the principles on which they depended. Ma abandonment by Lord DERV,, his coneaguea, and his followers, under the educating in- thience of Mr. DfiILAELI, of the cArrietions whit& they personally had profs/wed for a quarter of a century, and which were the life-blood of their party, and the consequent withdrawal of two or three men of honour from that discredited cabinet, completed the work of confusion. A strict party vote is not to be expected in the absenoe of any atrial party sentiment or fixed political principle. The approximation to it, however, on Saturday morning was very close. After the last general election, the majority in favoor of Lord PALIMR- won was estimated at between seventy wad eighty The majority in each of the two divisions of last week was sixty. The absentees on the Liberal side were seventeen. Some of these gentlemen, no doubt, have valid excuses to give. Mr. Lau/macs Ournamr, one of the soandest and most promising of the younger Liberals is the Holum of Commons, has announced to the electors of Stirling boroughs his retirement from Parliament, on the ground of ill-health, and he is at present, we believe, seeking strength in a foreign climate. Sir MORTON Palo has virtually ceased to be a member of Parliament ; he could not have voted with propriety, and his vote if given would probably hay,' been challenged by the opposite party. Mr. J Pte, who as a member of the Society of Friends cannot be supposed to be in favour of the principle of religious establishment, has such a genius for cosnistry, and such a faculty for fettering his own freedom of action by the most extraordinary and spontaneous conditions, Cant he found himself notable to vote for Mr. GLADSTONE, whose opinions he apparently shares, without breaking njoromise to his constituent.. Mr. Pim is a re spectable and, in some respects, a useful member of Parliament. But he i a perfect DAVENPORT Brother it: the faculty of vollultsrily tying himself eip by the strictest bonds, though he has not an equal power of slipping the noose. Mr. GOLDIMID may plead the scriptural apology (he will Rot object to it though U r i* taken out of the New Testament) that he had Married a wife and could not come. The only ointment absentee is Sir ROUNDELL PALMER. Sir ROUNDILL is not a better Churchman then Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. COLERIDGE, and ethers of the same ecclesiastical inclining ; and, unless his absence was unavoidable, it will show only that he is not so good s Liberal SA they. The superior discipline of the Tory party is proved by the fact that only five absentees from their ranks are recorded as against 17 absconding Liberals ; and that while seven Liberals voted with Lord STANLEY, only five Conserbatives voted with Mr. ficameraws. But the eisesffication on which this fault depends appears to be somewhat im =The first name in Gm list of absentees is that of a gentleman yhe was a junior Lord of the Treasury in a Oen hoepiAre Government from 1841 to 1846, who is leseribed as a Liberal Conservative, sad who meted against Lord Rut:sal-es Reform Bill in 1666.

It would be vein to expect from any other stage singer such a dramatic representation as that of the former artic, who so wondroisely realised in the earlier scenes the inahtle alternations of the professional bearing of the Cou:t Joker with the deep feeling of the anxious and devoted table ; and is the later situations the terribly concen trated hatred and revenge of the outraged parent. Sign sr Grusiald, who has largely improved as an actor during the part two seasons, gave great force and earnestness to the serious scenes. Signor Mario, who was the Duke, as he has been on so many former occasions, acted the part of the dissolute tyrant with that combination of ess and refinement which scarcely any otter stage tenor can impart to the character. Although Sign: voice was not in the best condition on Saturday night, and be had therefore to omit some of the music. Le gradually sang down these adverse inguences, anl pve the well-known " La donna e mobile" with auchspirit and effect as to call forth the applause which gtnera:ly follows his delivery of that popular piece. HER MAJESTY'S OPERA. Since the conunenoement of the season at Drury Lane Theatre on Saturday week, the performances hove consisted of Snisironide on Tuesday, If Bar•Wirr on Thursday, substituted for Lucrezia Borgia, in consequence of Mdlle. Titiens' indisposition ; and La Tratidea on Saturday last, when that accomplished young Ameritna lady, Mdlle. Kellogg, reappeared. This excellent artist it will be remembered sang for the first time in E'.rope LtA year at Her Majesty's Theatre, where she first appeared on November 2, as Mangherita, in Gonnod's Faust. rvo days later Mdlle. Kellogg appeared as Violeti,, in La Traria:a, her performance of which was so fully noticed by us on that occasion that we coed now say little beyond a repetition, in general terms, of 49 opinion of the high refinement and excellence, both vocal and dramatic, of Mdlle. Kellogg's performance. Through • out the opera her sucoess was fully as complete as ou any former occasion. The ..it, including Mr. Santley's excellent performance as the elder Gement. Sig:tor Bettini as Alfredo, Signor Fob as the Doctor, Uhl Mdlle. Hereee as Annuls, was, in other respects, as last senoou. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of WAes attended the performance. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. The annual Lent performance of the MesJiah ! - •.y this society took place on Friday night. The solo sin;;ers were Mdlle. Carole, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mr.Cum mioga, sad Mr. Bentley. Mr. Sims Reeves bad been advertised for the tenor solos; but a printed statement was ciieu • lated in the ball announcing his indisposition. and Mr. Cummings acted most efficiently as his substitute, as on many previous occasions. Mdlle. Carola's bright and powerful voice washeard to moat advantage in the bravura air, "Rejoice greatly ;" brilliancy rather than sublimity or pathos being apparently the style w hich, as yet. sh u. 3 most cultivated. In one or two instances it seemed as though the music of the Memo t was new to her. The performance is to be repeated on Wednesday next. ROYAL SOCIETY OF IfirSICLLNS. The hundred and thirtieth anniversary festi;al of this excellent institution took place on Thursday even ing at Freemason-hall, under the presidency of M:. Alderman Salomon, SI.P. During the evening the honorary treasurer, Mr. G. F. Anderson, read a list o: donations, among the sums specified being 101. 10e. from Alderman Salomon, ; 52!. 10s. (the twenty-first donatiou, from Mews. Broadwood and Sou, the eminent pianoforte makers, who have benefited the society altogether co the extent of upwards of three thousand pounds; 10/. 10s. from Messrs. Kirkman, and similar sums from Ileum Chappell, Mows. Ashdown and Parry, the Crystal Palace Company, Mr. R. Bowley, Mr. C. Wentworth Dilke, Baron Rothschild, Mr. W. Phillips, Mr. S. W. Waley, and Mrs. Bartholomew. THE FORTHCOMING VOLUNTEER &MEW. A meeting was held at the War-office on Saturda afternoon, at which the oonnuanderin-chief of the volunteer fortes, General Lindsay, a large number of the commanding officers of metropolitan and other corps. and a deputation from the local committee at Portsmouth, were present. It is clear ttu.t to dir with the sham fight is to eliminate a very=T rans element from the day's operations, because the annual demonstration of our civil-military strength in the southern provinces was never intended to be a mere spec. Mae for the gratification of sight-seers, but we, designed to pve to the volunteers something like a practial lesson in the science of war fare. On the other hand, the local authorities are unwilling to forego the attraction of the um: holiday show of a march past ; but as the carrying out of the two parts of the programme was: authonts lively pronounoed to be impracticable, it was manifest that one must give way. As an intermediary alternative it was proposed that after the march past a portion of the fora should be detached for service in the neighbourhood of Poet:down-hill, thus rendering the body roses wieldy, and drawing off from Southern a portion of the immense crowd of spectators which it is expected will assemble there, and the proposition was supported by several of the commanding officers present at the council. But main which were felt to be insuperable here again presented themselves. It is oto ions 19011• over that such an arrangement would neceeii tate the appoinmezt of an additional staff, and that it would divide the interest in the day's pro osediap. We understand that the decision chi• mealy arrived at, and from which it is to be pre :red :Zharthetteth:odsrhaoufl Oigunht• Uses should • mar* past " the reviewing officer, tint in =fdtliznenetramainr-distanos alum, and that the/ perform a series of evolutions &octal to the tuna open:Aims of a fielilday. It is ire=s, or however, that these can be of mol complicated e nature, because of the einparalively limited MS of Seathemeornmen, and the spaces white will be eeeed by the spectators. But the Interest et the event migh t be oonsiderably heightened by the oemtpation of th e ortifications on the sea front so Portsmouth garrison of Lump's fort, and of Southses Castle, with its flank'earthworks, and by the employment al a dotal& of gunboat and smaller craft on the Goan tins which forms the southern sad south-western boun daries of Southemeranmon. Thees, however, are :nation of detail which come within the province of the autho rities at the War-office and at Whitehall. We wider stand that at the meeting a very general wish was es. premed that to make up in some measure for the &Ap pointment oocasioned by the abandonment of the she: fight, as influsetial deputation should wait on her Majcati rE 4 andeaukfar as te th rtnees nermy the mareh..thontiempaat. are concerned, do I.—• programme of armagemente for the Portsmouth color tom review wee Issued on Friday.
