THE NEW LOAN. Tan real form and pressure of the proposed loan will only become known on Friday. The bidding, are to be made at the Treasury on Friday, at 10 o'clock, and thus the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUZZ will have it in his power to give a full and explicit meant of the operation, in all its details, in his bedget speech. At present we only know that for every 1001. subscribed in money the contractors are to have 1001. Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, and a Terminable Annuity for 30 yews. The Ter minable Annuity is the value to compensate for the difference between the actual selling price of Con sols and 1001. According u a high or a low pries is obtained for this Terminable Annuity will the loan be raised at a cheap or a dear rate. When we know what bidding for his Terminable Annuity the Cliassantoit of the ExcnEcluss has accepted, we shall be in a condition to conjecture whether he has made a good or a bad bargain for the country. At present we have no data to proceed upon. All depends upon that elastic margin, the price of the Terminable Annuity. iM far, however, u regards the general question, whether the CHANCELLOR has judged wisely in de ter■isdeg to raise the loan partly upon a creation of Three per Cents., and partly upon a creation of Terminable Annuities, we are disposed to an swer it in the affirmative; and that for the reasons so ably stated by Mr. Nswitincs, in hie recently published pamphlet on lie. Pres loans. With respect to the preference of Three per Cents. to some higher denomination, Mr. NEWHAM/1. by an elaborate analysis of the Irish Loan 0E8,000,0001. is 1847, demonstrates how much the former are preferable. With regard to the superior eligibility of Three per Cents., with a Terminable Annuity margin. to a creation of Terminable Annuities exclusively, he thus expresses himself : I am gaits swan that. is essay quarters, a stets' °phase is 'eternised to the effect that, even from the eaninesee• I meat et the was is 1743, a very considerable portks et the Leese Midi have been raked, sot only in Fire per COMLs bat, it alai bees so desired, eves to Terminable Snosillles end that leading opotatioas eosdeetod is Twolnitills Amides would have involved only a slight atiallks lin Ilho terns ritually paid is Three per Gate.

Bet maseeted with the plan of Terminable Annuities, there an other mendentireas of a bleier and are postal name than them of mere Goatee ; end when tie whale gelation has to be dimmed, ,it will appear, I think, that while Terminable Annuities may be employed with edrantap aa one of sevenl forms of fending, it would be exceedingly unwise to resort to them as the sole, or even tit principal. method.

IF her MAMIITY were to oondnct her Imperial visitors, some fine morning, to Hampton Court, they might amuse themselves by inspecting the pictures of the expedition of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, at- I tributed to Ifoummi, or some other contemporary artist. The visit of NAPOLEON 111. to England has in all externals an immense advantage over the visit of N bluff HAL" to France. Compare the washing tubs of vessels in the old pictures, and their top hamper, with the purpose-like ships of war of modern France and England—sailing or steam. Compare the stiff, cumbrous finery of the Kings and Peers of the sixteenth century with the elegant comfort of their co-equals of the nineteenth. It must be con fessed that the world has made some progress both in the utilities and the amenities of life since the old times of the Fuld of the Cloth of Gold. But when we look a little below the surface we find abundant traces of what the poet has called— " the everlasting to-be that bath been." Under all varieties of costume—with all varying amounts of command over nature and its elements—we find man and his destiny essentially the same. In the days of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, as now, men flattered themselves that their institutions and opinions were founded for eternity ; and yet the silent river of Time had so far sapped their bases, that they were even then tottering to their fall. England end France were on the eve of ecclesiastical revolutions, and yet men knew it not. France was about to see those Huguenot flames burst forth which, quenched for a time in the blood of St ; Bartholomew's Eve, were finally extinguished by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. England was on the eve of a revolt of the %too from the Pop; destined to be the first move ment of the long struggle which ultimately established freedom of religious worship and popular control over the executive government as the law of the land. Is there nothing in the actual position of the Governments of France and England indicative of the commence ment of a series of innovations, the result of which it to determine whether the one or the other of these two mighty realms le to take the lead in promoting civilisation for the next few centuries? When last we adverted to the position of the Em peror of the FRENCH, we declared it to be our opinion that a constitutional monarchy was the form of go vernment best suited to the existing state of public opinion in France. We need not now repeat, what we have so often said, that a constitutional monarchy is the form of government with which the aspirations of all Englishmen worthy of the name are identified. In the article to which we more immediately allude we pointed out the circumstances which appeared to be favourable, and also those which seemed to be adverse to the establishment of a perma nent Neroutox dynasty in France. The favourable circumstances were the identification of the founder of the Howe of NAPOLEON with the glories of the nation in arts and arms, and with its whole system of jurisprudence. Of the unfavourable, the principal was the antagonism which the EMPEROR has esta blished between himself and the partisans of Parlia mentary Government. The Empire of France is of recent establishment, and has not yet had time to consolidate ; the Kingdom of England has stood for ages, and is generally believed to have settled down into strength. And yet a close inspection—aided by a comparison of the two Governments—shows us cracks in the walls—slight, indeed, at present—yet which it would be wise to repair in time. England his what France has not, the reality of Parliamentary Government. France has what England has not, • distribution of political power in harmony with social relations and public opinion. France has no hereditary politically powerful class of nobles. Such a class has hitherto,by political theorists, been deemed indispensable to the propping up of a throne. But Frame has in its Legion of Honour a substitute for a hereditary nobility Invested with political power. England has nothing analogous to the Legion of Honour to serve as • connecting link between the throne and the people. Hitherto, our institution of a hereditary peerage has rendered such an institution as the Legion of Honour unnecessary : bat will it long continue to do so? We are net of thou who believe our peerage to be utterly effdte, or who desire to are its substantial privi leges materially curtailed. But we cannot close our eyes to the fact, that its own policy has *flats materially weakened it. It is well known that what is technically called "breeding in sad ice" deteriorates the races of the inferior urinals. It is ovally notorious that "breeding in sad in " has dstorimated more than one royal race in loropa, Acid there has been a political "breeding is and in "ea the part of our aristocracy that has at last reamed it to a dangerous degree of administra tive hobbits's'. The incapacity of our exclusively aristooritis takes is awakening a dark, throughout the Oaths to mee plebeians more frequently ad. teased to administrative aloe.

APRIL 17, 1855. dition that as soon as they are admitted they identify themselves socially with the aristocracy. The desire of the nation—as yet vague and indistinetly conceived by the nada' itself—is to have plebeian' admitted to transact the business of the state on a footing of equality with the Ministers selected from the video:say, who nevertheless continue to easociate habitually, as before, with the shades to which they originally belonged. This desire cannot be long resisted and yet it will introduce a material chugs both in the theory and practice of our constitution. Hitherto the aristocracy and the Court have enjoyed, almost exclusively, administrative power in combination with the pomp and parade of monarchy. We are on the eve of a I period when the reality of administrative power will be, in a great measure, divorced from mere courtly pomp and parade. In these changed circumstances our hereditary nobility will necessarily become a less efficient prop and buttress of the throne. Some addi tional ligament will be required to connect our people with the monarchical system; and that ligament can only be found in the o.eation of a British "Order ci Merit," analogous to the French " Legion of Honour, embracing all who can in any way serve the State efficiently, in virtue of their possessing peculiar talents. On Wednesday, the Emperor of the FitENcH is to be invested with the insignia of the Garter. Thie l ceremony will be for him equivalent to a certificate that he has been formally adopted into the circle of the old dynastic families. How far this will strengthen his position in France remains to be seen. Will Prince ALBMIT accept, in return, the Grand Cron of the Legion of Honour P That ac 'lepton°. would be a recognition of the principle , upon which the Order is based ; and the extension of that principle to England, by the institution of a British " Order of Merit" would afford an addi tional assurance of the stability of the throne, in the Sew and untried state of being upon which the na tion is about to enter.—Daily News.

In het, the preference given to Terminable An snida over permanent funds nets mainly on the un derstanding that they ensure the extinction of a certain amount of debt at the close of a certain tam. This is an advantage we have no inclination to undervalue ; for assuredly we do not agree with the writer of the City Letter of yesterday's Times, when he coolly lays down the law that debt is no debt. "The loan in the present cue," says this egregious financier, " will not draw from the public a single farthing of capital, and is, in fact, to be regarded as nothing else than an immediate addition of 15,000,0001., or whatever may be its amount, to the parry of the country." The writer does not con diessad to point out any difference between the pre sent loan and any other loans that have from time to time been contracted by the State. The inevitable inference, therefore, is that the writer of the Bones' City Later regards the whole of the National Debt as de facto "an addition to the property of the country." We have from the beginning advocated recourse to a loan for the purpose of carrying on the war, but really our con science will not allow us to represent it in such a favourable light as this. Every debt contracted by the State is a mortgage on the productive industry of the country. It is an inevitable evil—a less evil than a disproportionate increase of taxation—but still it is pro Unto an evil, and to be got rid of u soon as possible. But if the nation is wise and prudent the debt will, on all favourable occasions, be reduced by instalments of payment, even though contracted in some other form than that of Terminable Annuities. And if the nation is not wise and prudent, it will not be so re duced, even though contracted in the form of Ter minable Annuities. We have no faith in arq sttsse mechanical mans for the enforcement of a prudent foresight. And this being the cue, the great, the only recommendation of Terminable Annuities — except in a subsidiary capacity—as a margin for the adjustment of the masker price of a loan—falls to the ground.—Doily News. THE SCENE OF YESTERDAY. —.— No one who witnessed the progress of the FIENC: EMPEROR and EMPRESS through London yesterday will soon forget the eight. Never within the recollec tion of man has so remarkable a procession been wit nessed in the capital of England. It is not the mere fact of the ruler of a great mighbouring state being amongst as, or the antithetical recollections of the war in which we were engaged some forty years ago with his uncle and namesake, that will cause the 16th of April, 180, to be engraved in the memory of Englishmen ; but it is the manner in which Lotus NAPOLEON was received by all men and all classes. literally from the peer to the peasant, that has made the last twenty-four hours memorable in our national annals. To understand the enthu siasm shown throughout the long road by which their Imperial MAJESTIES passed from the one rail way to the other, it would have been necessary to witness the manner in which the whole population of London lined the streets and parks, and cheered the cortege in its transit. The welcome was not shown by one, two, or three classes of the community ; it was neither more nor less than the English nation—from the Duke to the Cabman—torniog out as for a holiday, determined to honour the guest of their QUEEN, and the chief magistrate of the great nation with which we are allied. To such foreigners as were present the smallness of the escort that accompanied Prince ALBERT and the illustrious couple who sat in the same carriage, must have seemed a marvel. The number of Life Guards pre ceding and following the imperial guests of England was but a captain's party—not a single trooper more than requisite to escort them with becoming honour. There was nothing in the shapes of a guard, nothing that could defend Louts Nitro- LEON, the En PRESS, or the PRINCE from the attack of any miscreant who might be inclined to evil. Nor was a single soldier on duty visible throughout the long line which the Imperial visitor' passed along from the Bricklayers' Arms to the Paddington station. The reason for each a difference between a British and a foreign ftlte, ought to be the pride and bout of every Eng lishman. The guards of the Royal procession which yesterday passed through London were ,the very populaos which formed the crowd. Had the I slightest affront been offered to either of our Imperial guests, there was not a navvy nor a labourer present who would not have acted the part that in other countries is allotted to gendarmes—have forthwith secured the offender and handed him over to justice. We may be—and no doubt we are—in many respects a rude people; what we think we say, and what we wish to make known is often too freely expressed for the courtesies of life. But this can be said of us—and, more than that, we can say it of ourselves with truth and with pride—that those who come among us as the guests of the nation can see at ones whither they are or are not welcome by the people of England. The manner in which the Emperor and Empress of the FRENCH were greeted yesterday does not admit of a doubt as to whether the nation is glad to see them received as the guests of our gnu. From Dover to Windsor the acclamations with which their RlAmenirs were hailed could only be compared with the hundreds of thousands who abandoned every duty and occupation to swell the dense throng which awaited the royal party in every street, lane, park, road, square, and bridge, from the point of dis embarkation to their destination. It was a day and an event not likely to be forgotten by either the people of England, nor, we trust, the illustrious per sonages who were received by that people. In point of fact, the reception given to LOUIE NAPOLEON and his EMPRESS yesterday by the English nation was an act by which the alliance between the two countries must be cemented all the firmer it was England receiving France in the person of her Ruler. And let the EMPEROR remember this : the loyal and friendly people who received him enjoy Parliamentary Government and the Liberty of the Press.—Daily News. Mamas.

(ViASI TEE SPECIAL OW/ESP° KIWI.) OP TU DaMx THE ARRIVAL. DOVER, Mon -DAY. By dint of the highest possible pressure en wi l t and artisan of every kind, the preparations of rh o worthy burgesses of Dover for the reception of their illustrious visitors were completed betimes this mere. ling. Triumphal arches appeared, duly decked with verdant laurel ; imperial cyphers had been wrou g h t to choice flowers; and naval, military, and civic die mitaries were all arrayed in their best, a n d peetr ii with nervous eagerness to do the honours in their several departments. One slight drawback th ere was in the early morning on the hopes of a auccessfal pageant, and that was the presence of a dense, dam p , and truly national fog, that hung like a pall corer Shakespeare's Cliff, obscured the fortifications in she. dowy mystery, and caused the fleet first to look like so many spectral shim and then gradually to melt away from sight altogether, not into „ thin air,* but into exceedingly thick and substantial mix, giving notice of their presence only by the dismal sound of the fog-bells and the frequent boom of the guns, which sounded, as it rumbled, rolled, k nd ec h oe d along the heights, like the distant murmur of Pu r e e . monium. The French often hear us affectionately apoetrophising "the white cliffs of Albion," but their own experience of the said cliffs leaves the colour very much in doubt, so dense and frequent are the fogsi o that part of our island which faces their own sunny land; and certainly the appearance of the atmosph ere about Dover this morning was by no means calm, listed to alter the traditional impression. It will easily be imagined that, as a consequence of each state of things, the greatest anxiety WAi felt as to the voyage of the little French squadron. Some entha. tarmac prospect seekers, armed with tremendous telescopes, ascended the heights early in the morn. big, in the hope of being the first to descry the visitors, but they found, for their pains, that they could not see the length of their hand, and narrowly escaped losing their way into the bargain. It it but justice to the mayor end town council of Dove to add that they exhibited none of these Alpha predilections, but q uietly and methodically prerareg • io deliver their address to prince Albert, who wu ready to receive it at the early hour of nine o'clock His Royal Highness had, after !careful inspection al the hotel arrangements, with all or which he es pressed his entire satisfaction, retired early on the preceding night, and was up betimes to common the arduous duties of the day. The municipal who. rities assembled in the railway custom how, hesdal by their worthy mayor, Mr. Payne, their learned re corder, Mr. Bodkin, and their efficient town clerk Mr. Baas; in addition to whom the e-rviztes of the borough members, Lord Chelsea and Mr. Rice, hid been called into requisition. The address, which lay on a table tor the gratification of tl.e curious in (Mi. graphy, was neatly engrossed on vellum with in illuminated border, and appended to it was the ancient seal of the Cinque Porte, quite an antiquarian relique io its way, with its legend of S - . Martin an the one side and its portly gallty on the other. Punctually at the hour appointed, the proceuise, headed by the mace crossed the road through ideas crowd of the inl:abitants, and was received by Prince Albert in the spacious coffee-room of the Hotel, which, with thu aid of Mr. Epps' floral deem _ tions, made a most imposing temporary pretence chamber. H.R.H. was in plain clothes, but wearing the ribbon of the Garter, and stood on a ringed dee at the upper end of the room, having Lord Alfred Paget in attendance as lord in waiting. A semicircle wee then formed by the municipal body, and the Re corder proceeded impressively to read the following address: TO PI ELD • MAISSHAL HIS HOTAL HIOHNISS PIIINCE ALM; PUINCII OF SAX' CJIIDHO AND GOTHA, U O .&C. We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of DM?, joyfully avail ourselves of the opportunity which the oak of your Royal Highness to this ancient town and port on the present auspicious occasion has given us to repeat the sentiments of esuem and &Lotion which we entertain for your Royal Highness. It is always with feelings of bleb satisfaction we remember that on your arrival in England you condescended to receive from us ..n address of welcome and congratulation. The fervent aepirati ins which we then humbly elevetted for the felicity of her Most Gracious Majesty sad yes? Royal Highness have been most happily fulfilled, to thegnat joy of the people, and to the bent fit of the nation. That any event should have occurred to give pain sad anxiety to her Majesty and your Royal Highness is tom a subject of deep regret, and we deplore, therefore, the exist mace of the war, just and necessary as it is, in which bee Majesty and her faithful ally the Emperor of France ars now involved. The sorrow inseparable from such a calamity is modidel, however, by the rcfiection that the war has produced aeon dial union between the two greatest nations of the world, from which we confidently anticipate results that will abed additional lustre on the arms < f England and France, is grease the glory of their people, end ensure an honourable and permanent peace. We regard the visit of their Imps rial Majesties of France to this country as an augury el the long continuance of those feelings of amity between the two nations that now so happily prevail. Deign to receive the as s urances of our devoted ldysltyud attachment to her Most Gracious Majesty, and of Our pro- found esteem for your Royal Highness.. Given under our corporate seal at Dover, this 16th day of April, 1855. The scroll was then handed over to General Grey, and his Royal Highness read his reply, as follows: — Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,—l thank you sincerely fat your address, and for your expression of loyal and devoted attachment to the Queen. It is with peculiar gratification that I have embraced the present opportunity of again visiting a town which was the foremost to welcome me on my first arrival in this country, and in which I was met en that occasion with a warmth and cordiality of reception which I shall never forget. While, in common with you, I deeply deplore the iota• ruption of the peace which this country had so love enjoyed, I fully share in the satisfaction you express at th^ cordial and intimate &Hance existing between this country sad France in the prosecution of the just and necessary war n which we ate engaged. I heartily concur with you is the hope that the visit of their Imperial Majesties the Emperor and the Empress of the French, whom I have come bets to receive and welcome on their arrival, will Mad to strengthen the friendly feeling between France and Bee land, and cement a union between the two nations whin cannot fail to conduce to the welfare and the best intense of both. The purity of his Royal Highness's English pro nunciation was the theme of general admiration, and much notice was taken of the marked manner if which he emphasized such pummel as had a reference to the great topic of the day. When the address and the reply had been disposed of, Mr. Rico and the Mayor had severally the honour of shaking hands with his Royal Highness, and the latter presented the principal members of the municipal body. These important preliminaries being settled, the scene of attraction was at once transterred to the open, or, more properly speaking, the exceedingly close air, as it circulated sluggishly on the esplatiede of the hotel. It was strictly guarded by the militia, and a long boarded platform, covered with crimson cloth, stretched from it all along the Admiral/ pier to the landing-place. The platform was, of con" strongly palisadoed on both aides, and strictly kept efficient and exceedingly polite superintendent, by the police, under the command of Mr. Coram, their but still the crowd pressed densely, and bright eyes might be seen to twinkle, and sometimes unduly long noses to protrude through the chinks which the I ° ll artisans had with prescient good nature left all aloof the paling. At one end of this platform stood ille triumphal arch, a complete forest of greenery, and surmounted by en immense imperial eagle, the ele va• tion of which had been the anxious work of the whole of the previous night, a fact of which those whose bedchambers were near at hand were gads painfully aware. With the help of our gallant militia a very respectable show was made, the severe! corps exhibiting a perfect military air, en u a very high state of discipline. They ce_tl' slated of the East Kent artillery, under the command of Colonel Cator, which lined the •P• preaches ; the West Kent Rifles, which s eemed to have no special duty, and the Royal Backs , w hich formed a guard of onour at the Lord Warden, and another at the landing-place. The artillery all rather small, but serviceable and active -looking meet their blue uniforms giving them somewhat the sp: romance of foreign troops. The Rifles are fine, martial-looking fellows, in grey un iforms and Bee' elan helmets ; and the Royal Bucks need certainly not fear a eomparimou with any of her MaraMielftthe moats of the line.
