Is all our more recent popular agitation, semwahm of the merchant prime of Lon** has be WA as an assurance of success; but ill . general tit, hewn allowed themselves to be Mattel for. In 11 Mies Bill struggle, the mlci Gl' piesinghara. pep plied of the difficulty of movivg the aids's§ of Legion ; in the Anti-Corn-law struggle, a similar 1 mosplaiat wee ends by the men of Manchester. It in not that our sagacious citizens are lees liberal in their principles, or more timid in asserting them; but the enormous magnitude sod complexity of their mercantile operations absorb them so entirely, that they are apt to rest satisfied with expressing approbation of any political movement, and to leave it to others to take the labouring oar. This habitual wariness and tardiness imparts tenfold weight to the City demor.stration of Saturday. The necessity must indeed be urgent which spurs such men to initiate an agitation. Whoever was present in the London Tavern on Saturday could not fail to be struck, not only with the clue of men who crowded the spacious hall, bet with their apparent ages. Tothoes whoviewed the meeting looking down from the gallery few of the men who composed it appeared to have numbered Ism than five and forty years. The opinions and men talists expressed by the speakers and embodied in the mosistioos must therefore be regarded as those of men who have outlived the excitability of youth, and whose engagements are such as effectually to preclude their taking part in any movement the objects of which they do not feel to be of life and death interest, and certain of attainment. Government, Parliament, and the Na tion may rest assured that having laid their hands to the plough nothing on earth can oblige these men to tarn back until their ends are accomplished. Where all spoke well and to the purpose, it might seem in vidious to single out any one for approving comment, and yet we believe we only echo the sentiments of every person present when we say, that the opening ad dress of Mr.Moner, the chairman—ea full of weighty matter, so temperately firm, so devoid of all mere oratorical trick—left upon his audience the impression that he had cflught a reflection of the spirit of those intel lectual giants who took the lead in the great struggle of the 16th century,--all whose actions were inspired by a profound religious conviction, and regulated by a l surpassing practical judgment. Nor mast an incident of the day, which has a meaning beyond what at first appears, be passed over unnottel. So numerous were the applicants for admission that the surplus who could not obtain entrance, sufficed to farm another crowded and most respectable meeting in the Guildhall, the use of which was promptly and liberally granted by the LORD MATO' for the purpose, at the first application. Our memory meals nothing similar to this in the history of popular movements, unless perhaps at the banquet in Man chester which originated the Anti-corn-lair Leaps. On that occasion the night was far spent before half the speakers had been heard ; but the enthusiasm of the company was unabated, and the worthy chairmia proposed that the proceedings should be adjourned till next evening. The proposal was eagerly caught at—not the lees eagerly that there was something piquant and amusing in the Yea of an adjourned banquet. The experiment was triumphantly successful, for the interest of the second night's proceedings fully equalled that of the first. We accept the somewhat analogous incident of Saturday's double meeting as an omen that-success, equal to that which crowned the efforts of the League, awaits the labours of the Administrative Reform Association. The London meeting of Saturday has given articu late voice to thoughts and feelings, which at this mo ment fill the minds of men in every quarter of the laud. Aresponse of loud and encouraging adhesion will forth with be heard from all the provinces. Indeed, the mere announcement that such a meeting was to be held had already elicited premonitory symptoms. We were enabled to announce, in ear impression of Satarday, that a private meeting .if influential gentlemen had been held at Birmingham, with a view to adopt measure' for 00-operating with the metropolitan movement to promote Administra tive Reform. On the same day we reported, more briefly than we could have wished, the proceedings d amestiag at Derby on the mismanagemeut of the WU, attended by both of the borough members, and by two other members of the; House of Commons —Messrs.

Even the fevilloperal owe an now alive to the delusive nature of their hers, and generally no one but those nuke-, Widely engaged in them, takes an interest in opus= dons which must be barren of results so long u they 'are isolated. We have filled up the Russian rifle-pile which cost us so dear, and on Friday night we fought Abseil I battle for the possession of the ground. I have bed occasion either directly or indirectly to hear the opinions of the best artillery officers in the three amps, and the impatient at home may sit down quietly with the assurance I beg to give them, tkat none of these officers expect a favourable result for some time to come. Perhaps the tide of events may drift us into assaulting and taking the place piece meal, battery after battery, trench after trench, bastion after bastion. The French, for instance, have an idea that in about a fortnight they will have worked their way to the Bastion du Mat. Perhaps also we may take the field, force the Russian position on the 'Mornay*, and operate against Simpheropol. liken der Bey again reconnoitred that position on Battu- I I day morning. Relying on the respect which our late reconnaurance in force must have given the Russians, Ithe Turkish cavalry chief went out with 200 horse- I , men only and after some smart skimishing with the Cossacks, , he managed to get a fair insight into the I I capabilities of the Tchernaya lines. His report is Ithat the Russians have about 30,000 men to hold I those lines. This force is much divided, and all the accessible spots are lined with cannon. Skender Bey is of opinion that French and English troops might any day force any one point of those lines, at a oat, perhaps, of 2,000 casualties, with comparatively little loss to the defenders of the position. If this were the case, the Russian forces would be withdrawn trom those lines, and most probably they . would expect us to beat them in open battle, unless, indeed, after forc ing their lines, we were to allow them time to take up and fortify another position. We are quite as likely to do one thing as we are to do the other. That 114 are at length to march against the Tchernay& lees is now the common talk of the camp. We are • start to-morrow or the day after, or any day; but (that a movement is in contemplation is positively asserted. I hope it may be so. We can spare 60,000 men—foot, horse, and artillery—to make the movement, and as these 60,000 men are perfectly idle at this the best season of the year, there sp. pears to be no reason why the expedition should not take place ; only there are some awful sceptic., men who doubt of everything, who do not blush to avow theiropinion that it win require *force majeur greater than that of 60,000 picked troop. idling away the campaigning season to induce head-quarters to move—especially so long as the Vienna confer ences are situp tr, and the remotest chant* exists of an amicable and disgraceful adjustment of the quarrel. The mildness of the weather has again attracted attention to one of the yet unretnedied evils of Belit tlers, and the camps. Even now, long before the hot season has set in, the stench from the graveyards outside Balsklava is abominable, and these graveyards are under the very . noses of the Guards and High landers (71st regiment), who are encamped on the hills on either side of the plague spot. The burying in that locality has now been stopped—the graves have been covered with quicklime—in short, Colonel Harding and Capt. Deacon have done, not indeed all that can be done, but all that they in their' positions and with their limited authority, would do to mitigate the infliction which threatens the army.' The corpses are now sent up to the hills, or a little way out into the plain. From the hills the spring I rains must wash the corruption down into the valley, I and the plain is at this season full of water and vege tation. It needs not the aid of putrid flesh, &c., to, send up poisonous exhalations as soon as the summer' heat commences. As it is, disease will surely . claim' a greater number of victims,and these victims in their turn will add to the virulence of the disease. I have I weeks and weeks ago pointed out these evils and the only remedy I can find for them. Even now it is late, but not too late.to adopt it. There must be no mote burials within the circuit of the camps. The dead of each day must be carried out to sea in steamers from Balakiava and Kamiesch, and sunk at a distance of 20, or if need be of 40 and even 80 miles from these shores. Hard as it is, the expense must be incurred. It will be a saving in the end, and the measure must come recommended by authorities at i for here it has been weighed and found k wanting. Perhaps the scales were at fault. lam informed that two months ago Colonel Harding willed to carry the dead out to sea, that he applied for leave, that the matter was' rebored to a medical board, which board I am almost sure must have been nuder the presidency of our enlightened Inspector of Hospitals, and that the medical board recorded their opinion against it. On what grounds I never could find out. Fever prevails. It will be worse by the time this letter reaches you. It will be much worse before peremptory orders can be sent out from England to adopt the only one measure which can be taken to stop the food of the pestilence. But late as such an order may come, it will be a godsend. PRANCE. (IDOM TEN 00MILISPODDINT or WI DAILY ay's.) PARIS, SATURDAY BvaMU(G. The government has received the following tele graphic despatches from Oen. Canrobert : "Before Sebastopol, May 2. "We last night had a successful affair. The enemy had strongly united their works together, and in connexion with some of their rifle pits. In front of the central bastion was a work of counterapprosch, with a double and very solid enclosure. This work we have taken. We maintained ourselves there under a very heavy fire, and definitively established ourselves. We have taken from the enemy eight small hand mortars which were in the works. Our loss, which has not been yet exactly ascertained, is lege than I might have feared. The enemy bee suf fered severely. The conduct of the troops was May 3. "At 4 o'clock yesterday evening, the enemy made a sortie to retake the work of counter-approach which we had taken from them on the preceding night. The troops on 'guard received them at the point of the bayonet, and drove them back into the place. The enemy's artillery covered the departure and return of this sortie by a very heavy cannonade, to which our batteries warmly replied." The above affair, of which you had a full telegraphic account yesterday evening, is probably one of those partial advances anticipated by your special corre spondent in his letter dated Kadikoi, April 13, wherein he says " that partial usaults will take place is very likely, from the preparations now going on ; certain works and positions must be occupied by French and English troops to more completely batter the town and break the way for further operations on the Tchernaya." It must not be inferred from the above successful • operation that any general assault upon the place is ' imminent. The following telegraphic despatch has just been received: " MARSEILLES, SATURDAY, MAY 5. " The packet just arrived brings news from the Crimea to April 24. On the 22nd we sprung fresh mines, which brought us within twenty-five metres of the Flag-staff battery. Six vessels of the allied fleets fired broadsides against Sebastopol. The place responded, and the French frigate Mogador received some damage. Omer Pacha has gone back to Eupa toria with the troops that he brought with him. On i the 23rd the fire slackened, and the Russians took advantage of this respite to stop up the breaches that had been made, and to repair the damage done by our artillery to the Quarantine and Central bastions, as well as to the batteries, barracks, and arsenal. The Russians were concentrating their forces towards lnkermann. Omer Pacha was expected to make a diversion. On the 24th the Allies were to have made a reconnaissance towards the Tchernaya, but the de- I sign was abandoned." The news of Omer Pacha having left with all his forces (which amounted to 12,000 men) for Eupetoria is by many persons considered very doubtful. No word of any such movement is mentioned in official despatches of much later date. If true, the inference is that the new plan for extending the sphere at operations to the entire peninsula had received a commencement of execution. It is to be remarked,' I however, that the news from the Crimea picked up, lin Constantinople and telegraphed from Marseilles is generally very inaccurate. The Balsklava telegraph ' appears now to be working actively. We read in the Patrie's "Latest News:" "We have reason to believe that a despatch from, Balaclava has been received this morning, May 5, in Paris. It announces that the efforts of the Ruskin to retake the advanced works of the Flagstaff battery had continued without success. Our soldiers are fortifying themselves in this position, which forms ' Is sort of plateau. The firing is very heavy on both Ass, and the fire is almost point blank, for the com batants are not more than 30 or 40 metres distant from each other." The Bourse was favourably acted upon at the open iog by the news from Sebastopol and the considerable rue in Consols. The Rente went up to 69.40, but is the afternoon there were a good many sales, and the last price was 69.05, being a fell of sc. from yes terday. Railways, however, maintained in great part the rise they experienced in the morning, and closed with en improvement of from 2.50 to Mr. The Austrian Railway did not vary. There was a report at the bourse that the King of Prussia was dead. It appears from the following telegraphic despatch that he mast be seriously ill : „ Berlin, May 6.—The Prussian Moniteur an noncom that on Tuesday the King had an attack of lever, which ceased on the following day, but that he had a fresh attack on Thursday, which ceased last night." At the head of the official part of the Mottileur appears the following letter addressed by the Emperor to the widow of the late Minister of Marine: Tailings, April 23. My dear Madams Duous,—l am at a loos how to express to you all that I felt On hearing of the death of the excellent M. Dam, who has rendered me sack important services, and shown so muck devotedasse to me. I above all thought of you, and of all you have lost; rely, therefore, Madame, on my sentiments and those of the Empress; we shall be happy to be able to assuage your misfortune. Accept the assurance of my affectionate sentiments. NAPOLEON. The Courrier de Saone-et-Loire has the following relative to Pianori: The mush' le well known here (Cbidon), where he worked from the 4th July to the sth August, 1854, having come from Lyons, and previously from Marseilles. He was an Indefatigable workman, but of a sombre and taciturn character. Not speskiag Frisch well, be had some diffi culty in making himself understood; as he amid sot, there fore, communicate with any one, he led the life of a misan thropist. One idea alone appea red paramount in his mind —he wished to obit Paris—and in order to gain the money accessary for his journey, he worked night and day. Some times, of a Ikeda', he might be seen fishing with a rod and line oe the beaks of the &One, opposite the Cafe Parisian. When Pianori wished 80 leave oar town, he demanded a passport for Paris, but the Commissary of police categori cally refused him permission. His papers were afterwards eise-el at his own request for London, tea Calais. PARIS. SUNDAY STAMM The outs craocauslion, or indictment of Planar', contains a narrative of his conduct, so far as may be known, from the time when he served in the Italian war of independence, in 1849, to the moment of his shooting at the Emperor on the 28th of April. um most official documents of a similar character in France, it abounds with declamatory and invective comments on the behaviour and statements of the accused. A portion of it is here extracted : After a sojourn of soma months in Paris, he suddenly started for London, when he says he stayed nearly three months. What was his motive 'for leaving Franco? He has not stated soy; bat it may be 'Armed with certainty that it was not for want of work that he went to &sonar country, since he never turned to good account the work that was offered him in Paris. However this may be, he arrived in London in the month of December, 1864, and there all at once he found means to earn 60s. a weak (that is to say, nearly 65fr.). Such is his deolasatios ; but he says be ascot possibly tell who it was that antployed him at these wages, nor the address of his employer, nor even in what part of the town he lived. Pianori then, according to his own statement, earned 65fr. a weak, and he further says that he put by, out of that sm. or much as 301 r. • week. Now ' sines he passed three months in London, he may, if he speaks the truth, have saved Or much as 300 fauna.. This is impossible, or , at least improbable.

THE SMYRNA HOSPITAL. TRN DAILY Rim.' SMYRNA, APRIL 28. The number of sick in the British hospital here is ...tw much diminished. A hundred and eight were discharged to return to the Crimea on the 25th. There only remain 309 in hospital at this date ; these are generally doing well, although fever is very pre valent among the attendants. There have been eight deaths since the Ist of this month. The following are their names :—April lat, Private John Walsh, 41st Regiment, fever; Bth, Private Thomas Scholar, 34th Regiment, fever; 4th, Private John Tally, 21st Re giment, phthisis ; 11th, Private Thomas Baxter, Soots Fusiliers, rheumatism; 12th, Private John Manuel, 41st Regiment, fever ; Private James Beagon, 46th Regiment, pneumonia; 13th, Private Govey,l9th Regiment, scurvy; 28th, Private Thos. Reese, 44th Regiment, diarrhoea. Besides these, Henry ,Rogers, a civilian orderly, died of fever on the 28rd, and Miss Priscilla Smythe, one of ths lady nurses,:the day before, of the same disease. The disease has been very prevalent both among" nurses and orderlies, nine of the former and a large proportion of the latter having been laid up wi* It.. It appears now that this hospital is much too far from the seat of war, as part of the staff is already on the move for the wooden barracks to be erected on the Bosphorus. The sooner this is effected the better. As a winter convaleseent station for about 500 sick there can be Mite oljeotion to the Smyrna hospital, bat nothing could be worse adapted for a large hos pital establishment. Great complaints are made, both by men and abets here, as to the postal arrangements. A beg is made up in London every Monday evening, which arrives at Marseilles on the following Thursday, and at Selma on the Thursday week. Instead of the Smyrna bag being delivered it is taken on to Scutari, kept there five days, and then the letters are sent back to Smyrna, where they arrive on the day the packet leaves for England, so that another week must elapse before answers can be sent. Surely this inge nious arrangement only requires to be exposed to be • amended. It is but one of the specimens of official mismanagement, however, under which our army in the East still suffers. (FROM • A NEW BILGE TRAIN POE THE Cattots.—lmme diately upon receipt of news from the Crimea that the fire before Sebastopol wu suspended, the French government sent orders to Marseilles for the embar kation of a new liege train, consisting of nearly 300 heavy guns, Russo-Foram LOAN.—The Poet Ampt Gazette contains a letter from ifelsingfors, which states that an official notice has been published there, dated April 4, announcing that a new loan of 650,000 silver roubles is to be contracted at 4 per cant., on the so count of the Treasury of Finland to sant the ex penses of tin war. absorbed his mind entirely. It may therefore be stated_ that in reality Pisaori is only nominally a workman, as that it is not from hie labour that this in has for a ee ry long time past derived the means of subsistence. Ha s hands do not bear the marks of say hard work, and whoa he was arrested he had on a pair of polished leather bort not made by himself, but which he must have bought not. withstanding their coatliness. It is easy to conceive, wh en we know the abominable crime of which Pianori is what powerful reasons there may be for concealing the • • of the tenurees which have long maintained him, au the motives which induced him to wander from Ha ree m, to Lyons, and then to Chalons, Paris, and London. A r a, die, of the insurrection of 1849, 'Naomi haa remained faith. ful to hie fiag, and we find him in 1855 what he was sia y ea rs ago, a hot brained conspirator, resorting to osmii m. lion in aid of his execrable political doctrines. B a r a month ago he left London, that centre of the mist andscioas agitators—of those men whom rage and defeat have drier. to madness, and who have come to such a point that appeal to Cline is their only means to their ambitious d eeigsy their material appetites, and their lust for power. It is in vain that he attempts to deny it. Facts speak louder than his denial, and accuse him trumpet-tongued. He cotfesas that during his stay in London he bought for 150 fr. um, double-barrelled pistol which was found in his hand at the moment after he had used it against the Emperor. It war also from London that he had brought the two singles barrelled pistols also found upon him at the time of lur criminal attempt. Yon will have observed in the Moniteur a lon g report of the proceedings of the Commissi on appointed by the Emperor to carry into effect those thaws of the will of Napoleon I. which the present Emper or thought fit to carry into effect. Many people ref to believe that among the legacies paid is the one left to Cantillon, the assassin ah a shot at the Duke of Wellington. The hi s . torical fact is, however, beyond contestation. 10,351 fr. appears by the columns of the Monitewr have been paid to this man for principal and int erest , and it is a very curious coincidence that the record of the payment should appear in the very number 01 the journal which contains the address of the Eng. lish residents in Pads congratulating Napoleon lIL on his escape from the murderous hand of Pianori. At the Little Bourse on the Boulevard there wu a fall in the Bente of 60e.., owing to rumours of minis. terial changes, and a specific report, much haired spoo, that M.

The Independance Be'ge says that Abd-el-Rude has applied to the French Government for permOtioa to visit Paris, to see the Great Exhibition, and tilt the request will doubtless be granted.

The Queen has signed the bill respecting cede. siastical property with many tears, says the eosin. tutionnel. Her Majesty told her ministers that abs signed because they, her advisers, assured her the was for the welfare of Spain, but that she was se* against her conscience. The ministers endearo to comfort her Majesty by reminding her that she was a constitutional sovereign, and that they don were responsible. She appeared more cheerful dr listening to these observatiosa. MADRID, Mo S. The Bourse has been animated, in consequeneof rumours relative to the imposition of an mu& nary tax.
