EASTER HOLIDAYS. Fos the last three days we have been sejoyieg real spring weather. At this season Belgravia is comparatively deserted ; and it is only on Baster lidnday that the holidays of the other classes ot Lau do.) society begin. The more genial temperature has therefore as yet added little to the gaiety and brilliancy of our streets and perks. The mild zephyrs have not, however, remained without a welcome. Ou Saturday, the number of Bath-chairs in Kensington gatdens, the Zoo!ogicsl•gardsns, and solos others of •' the lunge of London," was remarkable. Invalids who duriug the whole of the long, sharp winter had not once ventured out of doors, were attracted forth to breathe the milder air. There was something inexpressibly touching in the spectacle. These poor human swallows were worth all the graceful darters across the blue dome who are( the proverbial harbingers of summer. Their appearance was beautifully typical of the anniver sary of the great sacrifice consummated by Han who, at the Pool of Bethesda, bade the impotent man take up jiis bed and walk. Inanimate nature seemed to be emulating the benevolence of its Creator while it brelithed a new life into many a frame wasted by long sickness, and inspired the mind which tenanted it with an interval of something that almost ap proached to joy—with a livelier faith that even suffer ing' is meant to work out ultimately higher and more enditring happiness for humanity. It is not every year that the weather of Easter Wrik harmonises so perfectly with the sentiment of the festival then celebrated, io this capricious climate of dare, or in the North of Europe generally. And yet if the Poets —the*. met trustworthy chroniclers Of the eesbou,—may be believed, the cherac.a.—_ the 'reek are, on the average of years, found to be pretty much what we have this year observed. These characteristics are mirrored with au exquisite charm in the opining scenes of Gornit's "Faust," and with equal iotenbity of beauty in our own CHAUCER'S pro. loges to his " Canterbury Tales." It is indeed a de hateable season (in the sense in which the Scotch and Eneish borders wets once Galled " the debateable land"), is which Winter and Summer contend peren- Wally for the mastery. Sometimes Winter retain, for .a longer period his stern grasp on the young year ; sometimes Summer rescues it from his clutch before its time. Goma has hit the character of the season toe nicety, when he describes the 4tscotefited Winter as occasionally sending hail showers into it, like skirmishing parties, to re-assert his efpire, which, however, are soon dissolved by Semoier ; and, again, when he quaintly adds that, swim! there are as yet no dowers in the meadows, Nat+ lures cot human crowds in their holiday garble sauntering along field ways and over stiles, as substitutes fur them. And here again that chastened Panes, which disports itself moat freely in periods of tranquil enjoyment, finds an analogy between the wool and the overpowering events with which it is associated is the minds of Christians. The two greattfestivals of the Christian Church are Christ mas ;cid Easter. The former is celebrated amid the &spent, death-like sleep of Nature. It seems as if the Earth had been muffled in scow in order that no earthly mad might prevent the asycions listeners from hearing the approaching tread /A the incarnate Deity. Now, on the chotrary, the giber shoot' penetrating through the loog tangled masses of last yeat's dead and bleached grass, the *karat' buds about to expand into leaves, the pale snowdrops and faint crocuses, Antilop of our pr. den dcwers, all speak of the re-ascension of the sap in plaids and trees, and of the more genial atmo sphere, whom; isfiessoe has set it in motion; and this re-swiking of vegetable life is typical of the moral re-awaking through the great consummating eacrifise, the memory of which we now celebrate. The. is a want of wisdom le exacting from Imes a sontinnoss, enintermittiug striving to keep up de votional sentiments, and devotional trains of theaght, throughout the whole period of a religions analver eery. Paresis, worthy of the name, are net the lass pleased to watch the gambols of their shillala ea bemuse they know that the imps is the flood.tide sf plesesd eneitemeat forget at later► tko very mistimes of their revered fathers sad motbeks. And skull we dare to picture the win, the ALL -000 D, the ALL-POWIIIII7L as less benevoleet sad in-selfish than mew flesh and bleed P There is teeth is the dialogs' whisk *Maxi MlA hates to • French peasant sad Meisel; when the former says that the innocent mirth of hie chileireit dancing after sniper appear" to Ms the best its . that unlearned peasants dm retire to s hist Pao= vinsicm; and the letter addi, "or a learned prelate either." Let sot this remerk,bewever,be construed into a frivolous denial of the valued frequent indulgence in sore deeply-seated and solemn emotions. Even though the light-t famed may is the mune of to-day 'ive themselves op entirely for &time to the coseeious nese of hangnail, that very happiness will be purer and more perfect if it has been preceded by musing on the iseosta.iose of the season. And the enjoy ments most in harmony with such reflections are those of am intellectual or imaginative character which are sow supplied in and around our metropolis la unprecedented abundance. For those who cannot venture far from hones we have the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Zoological Ciardetis, our parka, and various artistica' exhibitions. For those who ars able to go a-field, we have Hampton-court and the Crystal Palace, Richmond and Greenwich parks. We are not, however, so pedantic as to insist that the body should be altogether forgotten, while the mind is catered for. With all due defer ence to our more ascetic friends, we patronise the theatres, and, let the Temperance Society say what it will, we approve of moderate repasts, washed down with a moderate allowance of good wholesome liquor. The English are apt to flatter themselves that they are a more moral people than their gay and gallant neigh bours across the Chasm& How comes it, thee, that innocent mirth and festivity is the predominant haten of the holiday of French peasants and artisans, while with the English, even of the educated saiddirolasses, the social indulgence of a holiday is as apt to degenerate into excess? Is it not that our lameses are so intent upon telling us what we seen nod to do, that they forget to tell us what we allowably may, and what we ought la II*? The negative morality of England is bat a keine reed to lean upon. It leaves the mind anx iously brooding over pleasures which it is forbidden to indulge in, and which are apt to appear the more seductive for the want of other agreeable ideas to divert attention from them. There is an intense charm in devotional reflection, when properly pre sented to the apprehension, that attunes the mind, and preserves it from gross vice, even when it appears for the moment to be dismimed from the memory. And when for minds thus prepared an ample supply of imaginative and intellectual pleasure is provided, the craving after grasser indulgence ceases to be felt. —Daily New. THE EXPRESS.

Lady Stratford forwarded twenty boles to Kulnlee from &u'ari. It is sweetly what is most wanted out here. The sick are con stantly requiring nourishment of a kind that cannot other wise be procured.

A QUESTION NOT EASY TO ANSWER. Tax Great European Powers, we are told, desire to substitute a joint protectorate of the Christian sub jects of the Porte, for the exclusive protectorate which Russia lays claim to exercise. Let us suppose the representatives of these Powers waiting upon the SULTAN With such a proposal. Let us farther sup pose that ADDIIL-MEWID, after listening to it with patience, asks their Excellencies " whether Piotest ants are Christians r Lord STRATFORD DE RED. CLIFFS would, of course, reply that they are, and I good breeding, if nothing else, would prevent his I colleagues from contradicting him. Let us next suppose that ABDUI.-MEDJID produces a copy of the Christian Times, and orders • dra goman to read aloud the account of the perse cution of DONENIOO CECCHEITI at Florence, which we this day republish from the very respectable journal we have named. And, lastly, let us suppose that the reading of the article being at an end, the SULTAN proceeds: I am told that something of the same kind occurred not long ago, in the same 1 country, with two Florentine subjectsand an English lady; bow is it, gentlemen, that you come here to enforce tolerance of Christians in a non-Christian nation—in a nation which you are pleased to call bar- ' barons—when you connive at their peraecu►ion in one of your own Christian and civilised States r Such a question might call up a blush even in the faces of the Diplomacy of Pen.—Deily News. Sr. PAUL'S, WILTON-PLACE. A oorrespendent writes from Knightsbridge that as the time for the Easter elusion approaches the conduct of tbe Pneyitse becomes most outrageous.

Tbe Wore boa Constantinople of the 26th ult., published by our Perisooatemporaries, do not furnish nay more ample details of the affair of the night of the 22nd than those given in the report of General Canrobert. They all, however, agree in saying that sines the battle of Inkermann nothing has taken place which has been more glorious for the French arms. The days preceding the attack in question were signalised by a series of partial engagements near the Malakhoff Tower, to the defence and attack of which all the efforts both of besiegers and besieged appear to be now directed. It was in one of those affairs that Admiral btomine was killed, as already mentioned. He was struck by a shell thrown from the French batteries against the hillock in front of the tower, while the French soldiers were attacking the Russian ambuscades. FRANCE. DINT ON THE DAILY MAWS.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVADING. The Debate says that, while the formal debates of the Vienna Conferences are suspended, so far as con cerns the third point, until the arrival of the fresh instructions which are expected to-morrow, frequent unofficial meetings take place in M. de Buol's to talk over the various solutions suggested either from Berlin or elsewhere. To these meetings, it appears, not only the plenipotentiaries of the parties to the Conference, but also the ministers of several 1 seeaudary German states, are admitted. Under these circumstances, the covenanted secrecy of the Confor mers must be very ill kept, and it may well be that the revelations which the Debate proceed, to make ere authentic. According to this journal many combi nations have been proposed for attaining the object of diminishing Russian power in the Black Sea. Two have been already mentioned frequently with more at Iwo detail. The first scheme was that Russia &add consent to a material diminution of her naval lame in the Black Sea, that she should engage n order any pretext whatever, to exceed the limit fixed, and that ►he Western Powers should be re stricted by treaty from having a larger fleet than Russia in the same waters. By the second, which is thought to have been suggested by the cabinet of Berlin, the Western Powers were to be at liberty, with the consent of Turkey, to create on the Southern Coast of the Brack Sea—as for example Sinope, Bourgas, and Trebizonde—maritime establishments of sufficient force to counterbalance those possessed by Russia in the Crimea. In either of the above hypo theses. ships of war of all nations were to be free to psis through and anchor in the Straits of the Dar danelles and the Bosphorus, and the Sea of Marmon. All restrictions upon ingress to or egress from the Black Sea were to be removed, and the Russian ports there were to be subjected to the rules and obliga tions of the law of nations. The Debate now says that a third plan specially occupies the attention of the Vienna diplomatists at the present moment. It is pro posed to maintain and proclaim anew the principle of closing the Straits, to declare the Black Sea a mare demeans, but, at the same time, to stipulate that the powers bordering on that ass should have no naval force there. This is, in short, the proposition tele graphed from Berlin to the Daily News, that the Black Sea should be made a commercial lake. A fourth plan is that the Straits of the Dardanelles should be closed against Russia, whose ships of war should not be allowed to leave the Black Sea, but open to other nations. This—subject to what Turkey may have to say upon the matter—is no doubt a plaa very desirable to be realised. It would effectually humble and control Russia. Of all pos sible solutions 1 venture to say that the worst would be the one that should permit the perpetrators of the massacre of Sinope to penetrate into the Mediter ranean. The Russian Plenipotentiaries provisionally repu diated any proposition tending to limit the Russian naval forces in the Black sea; they made no objection to the abolition of the principle of the closing of the Straits, they were ready to consent to the free circula tion of ships of war of all nations in the Dardanelles, the Bosphorus, and the Black Sea, provided that it was well understood that Russian ships of war should enjoy reciprocal rights, and might always freely pass backwards and forwards from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. They were willing that, if desirtd, the Sultan or the Western Powers should have the right to make ss many maritime stations as they pleased on the Turkish coast opposite the Crimea. In support of their views the Russian Plenipotentiaries observed that hitherto the operations of the war had not been such as to produce any effect upon the ne gotiations. There were, they said, neither conquerors nor conquered, and the Emperor Alexander was still as much master of the Crimea as of the other pro vinces of his Empire. This proposition was con tt sted, and it was urged that the Emperor of Russia was not master in the Crimea, sines the allied armies occupied all the ground that they desired to occupy before Sebastopol. and since the allied fleets enjoyed lundisputed rule in the Black Sea. The Russian. Ple nipotentiaries particularly objected to the closing of the Straits, whether with the condition that no navy whatever should be maintained in the Black Sea either by Russia or Turkey, or that the Russian naval force should be limited. While these discussions were going on, Prussia, who was one of the parties to the treaty of 1841, put in her claim to be a party to any conference in which the re vision of the treaty was proposed. This claim was, of course, supported by Russia; but the Debate is con strained to admit that the Plenipotentiaries were indis- prised to accede to it. A postscript to the article in the Debuts states that letters just received from Vienna, announce that OA Conference hsa closed its delibera tions on the fourth point, and that the Plenipoten tiaries are agreed on the subject of the protectorate of the Christian subjects of the Sultan, as they were some time since agreed with respect to the protect°. torate of the Priocipelities and the liberty of the Danube. This statement of the Debuts must not be understood es coo tradictiog what has been said repeat edly, that the adherence of Russia to the First. Se cond, and Fourth Points is subject to "reserves"—in other words, as I take it, that the adherence amounts to nothing. The above article in the Debate produced some effect on the Little Sunday Bourse. The Rents which closed yesterday at 69k. 160., rose to 69fr. 45c. The Austrian Railway rose 2tr.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Naw YORK, BARCC 27. There was some little appearance of caution among the banks yesterday in regard to the further increase of keee and discounts, induced partly by the unsettled state of things in California, which I. to affect the so. cis supply fig some weeks to come end partly by the conviction that the present line of ninety-tbree milli..cs is quite bieh aweigh for the amount of legitimate mercantile hui.ines, now doing.

The arrival of the steamer Hamhurg, Capt. hog, from London, with Lieut. Edwards of the Engineers on board, accompanied by some sappers and mince and the materials of the wooden huts to he erected on this island, caused our worthy governor, Sir John Hindmarsb, o osiderable surprise and embarrassment, as he had received no previous intimation of their coaling (such things do occasionally happen at the Colouial-office in London), sad consequently made no preparations, nor was he able to fix on a locality for ' the erection of the barracks. He bad therefore to write home first for instructions, which came in doe time, and the barracks are now put up. A good many recruits have volunteered for the Foreign Legion to be foamed here, but they could not be acv cepted till the huts were ready for their reception. It wits a painful sight to witness the women of the island staggering up the stairs cut iu the face of the cliff under the heavy load of beams and planks, the men being much too lary to lend a hand, and con sidering it beneath their dignity to do anything ebie than station themselves on the Falm or Ltgla terrace on the top of the rock, with their pipes in their menthe and their hands in tin it pockets, looking out for wrecks or ships in distrers, which form the golf income and employment of this singular race et islanders.
