Time (Mr. Chippendale) comes in chanting the hour "Put twelve o'clock," after the fashion of the sanest watchmen. The somnolent City, however, " takes no heed of Time," and the old "devourer of all things" is obliged to samosas. his 311618100 in tremendous tones before she as be roused. Time then gives the City a bit of his Riad as to the miserable state into ankh she has fallen, sad utters manses hints se to the sesessity of reform. Highly canted, London appeals to her faithful giants, Gag and Magog, who roll their eyes about, and bellow oat " Fee, Faw, Fain," in the most ab ject state of antique imbecility. In toe midst of her de spair the " Lord Mayor's Fool (Mrs Blackstone) is shot upwards from some underground dwelling place to afford her consolation. He tarns out to be, nevertheless, a com forter after the fashion of those who eciosbined to make Job feel his calamities more deeply.

The Moos, an al legorical representation of the present Lord Meyor, it may he preenmed, is Una appealed to to help London out tf her 'nape, bat the only intelligible reply that can be got is, that the mule of the City is to be tried at Westminster.

THE WAR. A eappiement of the Invalid* Rusts, of March 30, publishes the following : ' A telegraphic despatch has been received from 'Jeff, from Aide-de-Omp-General Priam Gortoha koff, announcing that in the night, between the 10th and 11th of March (22nd and 23rd), a strong sortie was made to prevent the enemy executing promptly the approach.s towards the Kamtschatka lunette; the affair laminated to our advantage, and the ap proaches emetrested by the French during the last few days were destroyed. The ken on both aides wee considerable, but that of the enemy was much greater than ours. We made two French Gibers, ...English colonel, an an English captain." A private letter from Bimpberopol, published in the Vines Preue, and dated March 8, mentions amonget other matters, that the city is almost on trz.coavertad into • place cremes ; none bet a are to be seen.

FRANCE. - 0.- [MIT OF TDB DAILY 111 w..) PARIS, MONDAY EVIIIIINO. There has been a considerable rise at the Bonne, I upon the strength of two very extraordinary rumples —one that Prussia was likely to be admitted to the 1 Vienna Conferences at the pressing request of the Sublime Porte, and the other that, after all the tele graphing abo ut General de Wedell (who 'moms I isstruoted to exemplify Frederick the Great's saying, that the type of a great man was • postillion,) his Excellency is not going to Luxembourg, and may be expected in Paris in twesty-four homes. Additional credit was attached to the latter rumour, from the fact that the General Aide-de-Camp Colonel aberg, whose departure from Paris was announced by telegraph from Berlin, is still here. The Route, after opening heavily, sprung up when the above news was circulated, and exhi !sited surprising firmness throughout the day. The dosing price was 69fr. 93c., being • rise of 60c. The railways were all in request. Several lines rose from lifr. to 7fr. 60c. Austrian railways rose Bfr. 76c. I am informed that Colonel Fleury will accom pany the Emperor to England, and that the depar ture for the Crimea of the regiment he commands (the Guides) is postponed until his return to France. The 16th is still said to be the day fixed for their Majesties to leave Paris. The Paris journals having, according to their tonal mantes, made holiday on the occasion of Easter Sunday, none of them appeared this morning. The Press, and Pattie appeared this evening, bat they contain no news. Mr. Mason, the American Minister at the French Court, has just left Paris fur Nice, for the benefit of his health. The English steamers Colombo and Clyde, of Glas gow, have just embarked at Marseilles 1,200 Vold gears of the Guard for Constantinople, amidst the most enthusiastic cheers of the thousands of persons IF ho had assembled on the quays to witness theirdepar lure. Three other English steamers, chartered by the French government, are now taking on board wooden barracks for the army of the East at that port, and will also carry out a number of horses. The France steam-packet has just left for Constantinople, having on beard a large quantity of military stores, 100 males, 100 soldiers of the waggon-train, and 131 gendarmes. From the 25th of February to the present time, 14,717 men have been embarked in the port of Toulon alone for the East. THE MYSTERIOUS PAMPHLET. (mow An Haws.) PARIS, Arm S. Tour readers are, of course, acquainted with the extraordinary rumours, charges, counter-charges, and insinuations which have, from time to time, been tacked to the famous war pamphlet, some time back issued at Emmet.. The general current of Eeropean opinion, however, converged to the Pitleis Royal. It was understood that Prince Napoleon was the author and Emile de Oirardin the editor of this celebrated production. The matter was arranged even in di tail. The Prince had made notes throughout the period of his encampment in the Crimea ; had returned home with the precious diary ; and had confided it to the care of his friend and adviser, Emile de Oirardie. It must be confessed that many collateral cireemstannes gave colour to this story. Emile de Oirardin had long been regarded as the secret adviser of the heir to the throne. Emile de Oirardin was in the perfeet enjoyment of a privilege since sold to advertising agent.. Emile de Oireldin was disappointed in his expectations from the present occupant of the imperial throne : therefore Emile de Oirardin was retdy to exhibit that kind of gratitude hapOly . described es a lively seem of favours to come, to his imperial highness of the Palals Royal. Again VIA ppaammphlet appeared, about the time sash a pro d seating from this quarter—would have bees likely to appear.

It apposes that little dilbreaces, which lad pertly estranged Priem Jerome from the Emperor, sad which had cooled the ands of the imperial family, have been all pat aside lately ; that explaaations have proved perfeetly eatiefeetny.i and that, in short, as I have already stated, Prins Na poleon, Prince Jerome, and the Princess Mathilde are on terms of the most neon harmony with the Emperor and Empress. 'This date of things, lam informed, is the result of vigorous measures taken by Prime Napoleon to dissociate his name from the authorship of the Brussels pamphlet. He has so far succeeded that the Emperor has agreed to pronoun the Brussels publisher thereof. From tbia pressen tics by the Preach government some most important revelations may be expected. The pro ceeding is a bold one : its effect cannot be anticipated. We shall know shortly who really wrote an aooeant of French disasters, and bow far this writer has drawn upon hie imagination for his facts. It is, however, important to know that the Primo moat solemnly repudiates the authorship, and that be has, alter much trouble, .prevailed upon the Blamer to institute a prosecution which will publicly establish the true origin of the pamphlet This reenation has eatistied Prince Napoleon's friends, who have levred him their 000gratuUtions.

His mind revolves in a circle ; and is always revolviog. It never arrives at an end; it is never in a corner; it can always freely spin on its way and pause. only to dart ahead afterwards with added vigour. His is a caricature of the French mind. If he wants to show you that be has ditcovered how two and two make four, he will open his speculations at Caws. He will flit about in the obscurity of his early pages like a bat describing cis-sag lines—till he concentrates your attention, to consider the point at which he intends to fix his roosting-place. No man can make the way to an abyss more inviting. No man can tempt the unwary reader to a darker, a gloomier spot, and there rob him, for the time, of his reason. He is essentially a dangerous writer—a dangerous councillor. Ilia career attests the wondrous pliability of his logic. It would laud him comfortably on the shores of the Salt Lake, if events over which he could exercise no control were to render his residence there inevitable. He has a feline mind, that always alights upon its feet. He is a man, io short, to whom PrinceNspoleon owes many enemies, and few if any friends. For in stance, this Brussels pamphlet would certainly not have been a.tributed to the Prins* lad M. de Girardin been ...•etranpr at the PAWS Royal. The verdicts peemeenesd upon this writer in Paris are generally extended to his friend and protector. The man who has been everything by turns, and nothing long, is hardly the adviser for a man destined to wield supreme power. At the present time, however, the prosecution of the publishers of the Brussels pamphlet having been determined open between the Emperor and the Prince (the Prince having satisfactorily proved, no doubt, that he had nothing to do with the produc tion), the latter has turned his undivided atten tion to the Palais de flodustrio—that, during the coming summer, he may be all that Prince Albert was in England in 1851. Here is a fair open field. Prince Napoleon, as president of the Imperial Commission, enjoys a conspicuous place, that will bring him in contact with some of the more remark able men of Europe. He does well for his reputation, in making the proper occupation of this place his daily study. By watching the interests of France, me the hostess of the civilised nations of the world, be better serves her interest., than by wrangling with superior officers, or listening to the shallow counsels of men who would turn the advantages of his cow spicuous position to their petty profit. E DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN AFFAI.IB OF THE UNITED STAIRS. (TION TIM ',MILL news.) NEW YORK, Waiter 27. By the latest news received from the South Ame rican Pacific coast we learn !tom the El Mercurio de OF Till DAILY Prociscias, published at Valparaiso, that a protest against the transfer to the United States of any Interest whatever in the Galapagos Islands has been made by the minister of Peru, the chargé. d'affaires of Spain and France, .and the English consul at Quito. _ _ . We have later news from California, with small receipts of Fold, in consequence of the terrible com mercial panic of which I spoke in my last. By these later advice. we learn that mast of the heavy houses that, for the moment, bent by the board, have resumed payment, with the exception of Adams and Co., who have gone into the Court of Insolvency. Wells, Fargo, and Co. resumed payment on the 27th of Feb., with all the branches of their house, and met all their payments. The looked-for rainy season— which is as important to the miners in the wet dig giogs as the early and later rains are to the husband man—had set io, and unusual activity was displayed through all the mining districts. The mint of Cali fornia, established • short time ago by our govern ment, is not able to answer all the demands that are made upon it; but with its limited machinery it was taming out about 60.000 dollars a day. Among the good things which are done by our republic may be mentioned the pains taken, and the money expended, in the collection and distribution of seeds, of grains, fruits, and plants. This business is done by the sanction of Congreu, under the supervi sion of the Patent-office Bureau. A circular is sent out every year by the Secretary of State, instructing our two hundred and fifty diplomatic, consular, and commercial agents abroad to make collections of the most valuable seeds and grains grown in the countries when they reside. These selections are for the most part made with great care, and abundant quantities pour in during the autumn and winter seasons from every part of the world. These are scrupulously assorted at the Patent-office by p ractical scien tific agriculturists, and divided into as many parties@ as there are members of both Houses =Tess. Each member receives several parcels, all carefully labelled, with limildiss for planting and sowing ; and, through the members, thew used are distributed among all the leading agriculturists, horticulturists, and cultivators of the soil, in every portion of the republic. A full report, generally from fifty to one hundred thousand copies, in a neatly bound volume, with illustrations and explanations, is published every year, and this report meets with similar distribution. In this manner the government of the United States expends about half a million of dollars per annum. The two popular ways of expending money in ti.e United States, by Congress and the State Legisla tures, is to promote education and to encourage agri culture. A striking illustration of this fact is found in the circumstance, that when the great discovery was made a short time ago, of the immense deposit of mineral phosphate of lime in the northern portion of the state of New York, a joint committee of both houses of the legislature of this state made a report on the subject, and scattered it all over the Union. Oeorgia was the first slayslsolding state of the Union to divert capital from agricultural to manufao tering pursuits, and she has been richly rewarded for her energy. So vast are the advantages of the southern planter who manufactures his cotton on his own plantation over the manufacturers of Lowell and Mainshester, that the Miaow Manufacturing:Company has just declared a dividend ef 17 per cent. clear profits on the business of this last year of disaster and commercial distress. Oeoegia has now betwesa 50 anti 80 cotton factories in "the full tide el saw cereal experiment." If the time has then aim when the New England states are losing the market at the south for their coarse cotton muslin, what mot be the ultimate fate of the English manufae @Kers as respects this country ? The rise of manu factures in the slave states will be followed by moat important results on the manufacturing interests of the north and of Great Britain. We are glad to learn from Savannah that the re cent proceedings of the military tribunal which con demned Ramon Pinto and Nicolas Pineto to death have been reviewed, and milder punishasents anbati-, toted. _ . Colonel M , Cluny, the notorious American duellist, who is said during his lite to have killed in personal combat more than Shy persons, yesterday came to • most appropriate end—he killed himself. This bar barous practice, which at one time prevailed exten sively at the south, is now nearly obsolete. Stringent enactments exist against it in all the states, and where we had formerly two duels a day we have scarcely a dozen a year. Cornelius Vanderbilt, " the commercial king of America," who has always strenuously maintained that our merchants could sustain ocean steamers at a profit without aid from the govern meat, is putting his theory in practice.. On thei Est of April his steam-ship North Star sails for Haws, the pioneer of the new line of packets which he is establishing be tween New York and France. On the Srd of next month he launches the Ariel, which is to follow the North Star in May ; while in June the third ship of the line gets nn 6K way. These are all tint-clam steamers, and with the enormous wealth and irm passible energy of Mr. Vanderbilt a great expert will be made. This g i ves us new tea American plying EXHIBITIONS.

Several additional views have been added; and the Manna mad Meantime afford a aura and 0010 impres sive easeeptioe of the suet remarkable emerresess of the war, from the battle of the Alma down to the latest as sounts—including the battle of Inkermaso, the great storm on the Black Sea, the " death.charge " of the light eavals7, and the construction., the railway at Baleklava—than it is possible to obtain from any other source whatever. Min P. MORTON'S ILLUSTRATIVE GATHERINGS, AT ' Er. SARtts's.RALL.—Sim Roman's, or rather Mrs. Reed's, representations of character are large, %natal, finished performances. Mrs. Reed is a skilful, whols•lsugth portrait painter —one who has the singular merit of delineating with much point end no malice. The cbaracten which pleased us molt last sight, and which we have most pleasure in re caning to mind, are the joyous, over hospitable country dame, the naivenal benefactress, who meets with universal iogratitude; the giggling, fiinloas fop; two characters performed at once, being two aid women engaged is a very animated soaversation, which, owieg to the strange misin terpretations made by Gas of them who is very deaf, is eon verted into a very angry parley. The austere lady training her c►ild in she art of depoetaent ; the fantastic, listless plane lady, who has ao taste or feeling for anything ; and the disappointed Fnack eastatriee. All these very different subjects Mrs Reed, with the aid of her husband, paints to the life. We may remark that this lady's very clever arming gives rise throughout to the illusion of reality. We are not surprised at the publie favour which this entertainment meets with. We 'Maid indeed be surprised if it were otherwise. WirLD's GLOBE AND MODEL OP SEBASTOPOL.— This vory ieteresting and instructive place of amusement was throughout the entire day attended by large numbers of , holiday Eaters, who listened with well-rewarded attention to the explanations of the different lecturers. The model of Sebastopol, of course, excited much interest LOVE'S ENTERTAINMENTS prove u attractive ea cur, and the interior of the Upper Hall, Regent Gallery, prem. nted last evening a fuller " house," if possible, than when we visited It at Christmas. The entertainments eons- 4 minced with the polyphonic 'ketch called the London &awn, and concluded with the vocal entertainment of Mins Host's Dalatataas at ilea Nag's Head on as Heath. Mr. Love introduced both entertainments for the first time during the present season oa last " Boxing-night," and although three mouths have sines elapsed, they ars now quite as successful as at first, and the polyphonic volubility displayed in them by Mr. Love still elicits the laughter and applause of a numerous audience. MADAME TUSSAUD . S.—Thia exhibition well visited yeeterday by a considerable number of ponces, sad seems to maintain its putties us a holiday resort. Every you develops ems judicious improvement, and the figures are not allowed to assume a seedy aspect. William Cobbett looked as fresh in his attire yesterday as on the first day whoa he so placidly took his sest, and none of the nota bilities, if they minute.' to look at 'beauty's, could com plain of not being respectably dressed. A good addition was made yesterday in the persons of the young Emperor and Empress of Austria, the latter of whom is seated on a chair, while her juvenile consort bends over her in an attitude of food admiration. Lord Raglan, Marshal Et Arnaud, end Omer Puha have been in the exhibition foe ' some time, and even Lieutenant Perry has not been dinned unworthy of a standing place. In fact, what the Pantheon was to the deities of the Raman empire, Madame Tusand's is to the present century—it is as impartial as in hero-worship. TIM TURKISH EXHIBITION, HYDE-PARR-CORNER. —Judging noun the numhen who visited it yesterday, the Turkish Exhibition is increasing in popularity. The nag. sifleentiy attired wax models of the Sultan Mahmond and his court assembled in fall divan, the Janissaries of old, and the poor defaulting baker nailed by his ear to the doorpost, the equally fine figure of the present Sultan Abdul lietijid, the baths, the mid, sad the bum., the ladles is their boudoir, in the harem, and in the arab*, each cams is foe their share of wall-deserved admiration. MAatONETTa THIIaTRE, LOWTHIR-ARCADIL—The Easter entertainment here consists of a diorama illustrating the events et the wee in the But, commencing with Varna, and extending down to the hurricane of November. In the programme it was announced that the descriptive leave, delivered by Mr. Knight, of the Turkish Museum, would be accompanied with vocal u well u instrumental music, but only the former part of the pongee was fulfilled. The pictures are thirty in number, :and comprise the whole march of eventa connected with the Crimean expedition, with the limit before mentioned. After a few introductory remarks on the origin of the war, the scans opens with the embarkation at VMrits, whence the spectator is rapidly con veyed with the allies to &Omits Bey and the Bold of Alma. At the latter plea the attack on the heights is rendered as terrific as possible, with the aid of • rrtentona noise behind the scenes. Here a coloer-ser .. giant is seen defending the colours of his regiment against a host of Russians. Here, too, is presented the golslssisd incident of the recovery of the lost colours, and the des* of the gallant rescuer. Here also a private, "Patrick lirCarthy," goateed, successfully against two Russians. Upon the whole, there is a want of form and cam about rho Motor's exhibited here. The prejecton of entertainamts of this kind would do well to remember that the publie taste has been cultivated to a high degree by the excelleat pictorial exhibitions which have illustrated almost every subject of interest admitting of that species of elucidation. TIM NATIONAL GALLERY, THE BRITISH INSTI TUTION, PALL-MALL, AND Tun SOCINTY OF BRITISI ANTISTS, florrotx-sminr.—We were glad to see this galleries of art well attended. The first, as usual, swarmed with a my mixed company—the more mined the bettor. Ail must Mist benefit from witnessing sash a display of artistic genius. The better informed through the hiss which as inspection of sack thoughtful works moat needs suggest to Masted minds; the MO favoured portico of the immunity by listening to the remarks whisk fall from those who are better able to derive pleasure and bistrustim form the rich mental feast which this gallery affords. It is impossible not to reflect, w►ile gaziag at those winks, that they are the productions of master minds, who have pioneered the way to the present state of refinement and eleilimation—pioneers, by the way, who worked with tools of the finest temper. The two galleries of modern art, although it cannot be said that they exhibit tame of the highest order, are nevertheless well worth a visit. " The Boarder Spear," by J. W. Mess, and " An laterior," by A. Previa, in the British INMAN- Hee, slime repay a visit. The former, a very oomplete work, tall of character, has, we hear, been purchased by Lord Carli►le. At the Society of British Artists, "Sun shine," by C. Baiter, a charming representation of a female countenance, radiant with joy sad beaming with innocesco, performs its handed office by exciting in the salad of the spectator emotions of the most grateful kind; and Mr. Hannon', in his " Neapolitan Fisher Boy," softies his high reputatios. Holiday-makers, gifted with a tart* for the arts, will not fail to derive both pismire and profit from a visit to these galleries. We were glad to Inez that at both institutions, a large number of the best pictures had boss sold, the purchases at the British Institution amounting to 104. Tan Barran Moonlit wu visited by dose upon 20,000 persons ia the course of the day. Amongst them, were • great number of people from the surrounding die. trios. The demeanour of all wee of the most mostly character. Rome at tks rooms were densely crowded ; the Nineveh relies, of course, formed a leadiag attraction. A third Wee:racists saloon, which hubs.. recently opined, was also amok visited. It motels's a series ef statues of gods, dead-pas, and kernel. The kagth of this salami is 80 nest, terminating in a recess, sad is the amaze is • emir vela Blare. The walls are coloured bright red ; the =veld ts, is polychromatic, ea well as the ailing. The room is beautifully lighted from the roof.

For the yams's hremithee f the sods{ family, indeed, zoology would seem to have a chum amsuatiag to perfect famination, and it was a loge tads both curios' end gratifying to observe the troops of youths who were yesterday pursuing knowledge with the ardour proper to their years, is what Professor Masson calls the " school of local circumstance." As might be ex prated, the grotesque gambols of the monkeys sad bean, and the brilliant plumage of the parrots formed pro:nicest objects of attraetieu ; but the popular favourite wee evi deatly the epwa•viearisirs ; the fish house we*, ia fact, crowded during the whole of the day with an often-chasg_ ieg, but never.dinethishing crowd of admiring observer', to most of whom it wee obviously quite a new sensation to HID the familiar shrimp at a banquet where it was itself a guest. The complete soccer which has attended the introductios of them teaks suggests the desirability of extending them at the first convenient opportunity. There are multitudes of marine and Ameliae delicacies which the public would ►ikewise be glad to see in their "native element." CAP-BORNE CIARDENS.—These gardens were opened yesterday for the summer season. During the recess they have been greatly beautified, and rendered more attractive by the addition of the "Turco-French Ann." This has, we learn, been designed to illustrate the union of nations, and is intended to be brilliantly illuminated during the stay of the Emperor and Empress of the French. The nano erase are illustrated in the following manner. This Sultan of Turkey is seated in a car, drawn by three fiery swede—the symbols of the powen now allied to trample down despotism. The approach arch shows Britannia and her allies supporting the weaker power by the sword of freedom, sad conveying her over the difficulties she has to encounter—the nmaining parts being filled in with the arms of our country, France, Arstris, Sardiaia, and Turkey. The bill of fare provided for the holiday felk was both varied and segueing. In the theatre a new ballet was produced, entitled The Sylph of the Gossamer Glade, and rendered surzesefol by the efficient and graceful dancing of Mdlles. Therms and Annie Cushnie and M. Milano. The wonderful performances of the Rusailli 13tothers and pupils were warmly applauded. A child only seven years of age, designated in the bills "Carl Dronet,the celebrated Flautist," appeared, and ezeeuted • piece of music in an effective manner. The votaries of Terpsichore assembled in numbers on the platform, and dancing was kept up till a late hour. Seine disappointment was occasioned owing to the balloon sot ascending as announced. Up to the last moment, how ever, the manager intended to keep faith with the public. The aerial monster became inflated with gu,wben, suddenly, a gnat of wind came and blew the balloon on its side, thereby doing sufficient damage to render the ascent impoinible. MUSICAL NEWS. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Sine we gave an out line, a few days ago, of the engagements for the approaching season, we learn that an important addi tion has been made to the company in the person of Madame Rudersdorff. One of the parts for which this eminent prima donna is engaged is Alice, in Robert le Diable. We presume that this is one of the two engagements mentioned as pending in Mr. Oye's general prospectus of the season. The BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL is to be held on the 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st days of August next. This triennial music.meeting has been regu larly held for above three-quarters of a century, during which time it has been at the head of all the musical festivals in the kingdom, not only in regard to the grand scale of the performances, but the amount of good which it has done as a benevolent institution. The last meeting, in 1852, was one of the greatest and most successful that have ever taken place, and great exertions are now making that the next shall not fall short of it. New works by some of the first composers of the age may be expected ; many engage ment. of great importance have already been made ; and the whole, as formerly, is to be under the elite direction of Costa. We learn, too, that the magnifi cent Town Hall will undergo extensive improve ments in decoration and lighting, expressly for die occasion. A FEMALE PRIME MINISTER. (From the Honolulu Court Circular ) The diplomatic corps, the commanders of the foreign ships of war, and the foreign consuls, were then presented by the Minister of Foreign Relations, to Her Royal High. hem the Princess Victoria Kantsmaln, the new Kuhn= Rai (Prime Minister), appointed by the King. Tee cabinet is thus constructed : —Her Royal Highnese, the Prince's Victoria Kamenialo, to be Kuhn= Nui (the Prime Minister) ; William L. Lee, to be Chenoellur of the Kingdom; Ku= Aor (John Young), Minister of the In terior; Robert Crichton Wyllie, Minister of Foreign Rela tions; Elisha H. Allen, Minister of Finance; Richard Aim strong, minister of Public Instruction. (From the New York Daily Tema.) There appears no earthly reason why the fair Victoria Kamamala should not =come an admirable administrafriz of the affairs of the Sandwich Island.. There might be some little difficulty if she had been appointed c-iromander in chief of the army, inasmuch as it might be awkward for a generalissimo to lead a charge ca a side saddle. But "'his Royal Highness Prince Kamehameha has been appointed eommander-in thief," so that the lady-premier need not personally face the foe. Even if she had to do so, ted to one that a young woman's generalship would be more eau easeful and honourable than that of the aged female, com monly called " P.M. Lord Raglan," in the Orioles. In very truth and sober earnestnets, the Princess-Premier must manage matters very indifferently it the result is not better than what has arisen from the attempts et government in other countries, by the ForcibleFeebles of diplomacy and le gislation who so often are entrured with the minnanagensent of a nation's affairs. Without noticing what has taken plus not • thousand milts from home, who will pretend that a young lady, posseiving healtb, energy, and intellect, would not have waged matters better in England, during the last two year., than that effete dowager, the Earl of Aberdeen ? The men difference of garments is only nomi nal. • ministerial costume, suitable to either se: ' Gould readily be invented—and indeed Blousons= has alrdody founded it, in anticipation of "the good time ocusiba" when females may be Cabinet Ministers, and even 'spire-- , as the Primes Victoria Kamsmalu has successfully done— , to the superior office of Kehina Nni. We shall earnestly watch the aworkiog of the ezponment„ u to petticoat gao -1 vestment, which has just been commenced by Kasse -1 hemeba IV., in the mighty empire of the Sandwich Islands. l In the meanwhile, it would not surpriae no to find Lacy I Stone, Antoinette Brown, and other " Woman's Rights ' apostles, incontinently emigrating to Hawaii to font a volunteer sunned of advice for the Priacese-Premier. • TOE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC. i SWINIMUNDIL APRIL 6.—The hey is filled with ice by the late prevailing northerly winds.
