He was, however, out in his carriage on Saturday, and yesterday took part in the service at the Sistine Chapel. The city is becoming very full on account of the approaching Holy Week." The sulject of iron armour for ships and the best mode of piercing it is every day occupying public attention more and more in Paris. It is said that at a trial made at Vincennes on Monday with a newly-invented rifle cannon th. 3 ball traversed iron plates 12 inches thick. Captain Dabry : who accompanied the French expedition to China, has brought back to France a valu able collec , ion of alimentary, industrial, and medicinal plants, which he has presented to the Society of Acclima tization, making an announcement of the gift in a letter dated the 21st March, which the President of the Society, M. Drouyn de Lhuys, read at its last meeting. Those plants have been confided to botanists and skilful horticul turists, charged to examine their nature and aid in their acclimatization. THEATRICAL MARRIAGE.—On Wednesday last Mr. George Benjamin Gastin, professionally known as George Belmore, the well-known Comedian, of the St. James's Theatre, was united at Tottenham Old Church, to Miss Alice Maude Mary Ann Cooke, tae youngest daughter .of Mr. William Cooke, recently the proprietor of Astley's Amphitheatre.—Era. PI7GILISM.—NOLAN AND THOMAS.—The match between these men, they having. it will be:recollected, con tended a fortnight back for £4OO, has been definitely settled. The backers of Thomas asserted they could prove the friends of Nolan sent for the polim ; they have, however, sailed in doing this, therefore the stakeholder had no other alternative than to order the rien to meet again on some future occasion. All bets made on the event are therefore off, and must be returned to each party. A Turin letter of the 15th says—We had here a very early spring in Mar.l, and warm weather, almost summer like, in the early days of this month, but the atmosphere cooled lately in consequence of long-continued rains, and we had yesterday a very sharp and heavy fall of snow, a very unusual phenomenon in North Italy at this time of the year. All the fruit trees were already in blossom, and the forest trees were mantled with green. This morning was fin) and bright, but wintry cold before sunrise." The Press of Vienna of the 15th says :—" A meeting was held at tbe Post-office yesterday to count and examine the letters which had been stolen by a man named and whici were found at his residence. The Number is much peater than was at first supposed. There have been conveyed to the Post-office five sacks, four feet long by three feet wide, completely filled with them. Up to yesterday ev en i ng 50,890 h a d b een coun t e d, a nd those which were examined during the day have been to-day dis tributed.

ROBBERY BY A COMPOSITOR.—An elderly man, named Handley, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a quantity of type, the property of Mr, Wilkins, printer, of Tookes-court. John Charles Wilkins said—The prisoner was in my father's employ. As he was leaving our premises on Thursday evening I accused him of having a quantity of , type on his person. He denied it, but on a policeman being sent for, the metal and type produced was taken from his person. It consists of brass rules and other articles used in a printing office. Mr. Corrie asked how it was that the prosecutor could identify the type ? The prosecutor said he, was positive the type was his property, and was worth about 2s. a pound, and to get rid of it the prisoner could only get about 2d. or 3d. per pound for it. Mr. Corrie—Then the loss to you is very great, and the gain to him was very little. Prosecutor—That is so, your Worship. His average wages were about 275, per week. Mr. Corrie—Do you wish for a remand, or shall I deal with the case as it at present stands ? Prosecutor—l would rather you would deal with the case now, sir. If the man has taken any property away before he no doubt has disposed of it. He has been in my employ about 7 weeks, and I very much regret to see a member of our prlression in such a degrading position. I, however, feel it to be my duty to master printers; as they are so open to robberies of this nature, to prosecute the man. I hope, however, your worship will deal with the prisoner leniently. Mr. Corrie—Your recommendation very much alters my determination. The offence is very clearly made out, and I shall, therefore, send the matt to prison for three months. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS..--A re spectably-dressed young man named Everrett, was charged by the police with attempting to pick pockets at the Italian Opera, on Thursday nignt. Inspector Eccles said—l had been informed that a person of prisoner's appearance had been bustling about the opera lobbies, and in a very short time after I heard the cry of police, and went towards the grand entrance, and there I saw the prisoner, NS• hom a lady said had attempted to pick her pocket. As sbe had lost nothing she declined to give her name, and drove off in her carriage. On being ques tioned the prisoner said he had been present during the opera, and had occupied a seat in No. 31 box, for which he had paid 10s. lam not prepared to swear that the prisoner was not present during the performance, but he would not be admitted in his present costume to the box he had men. tioned. Police -constable 511 A said I was on duty outside the opera on Thursday night when a lady called out pollee. I was within two yards of the prisoner. The lady said, " This man got his hand in my pocket. I asked her if she would charge the prisoner, and she 'replied that as she had lost nothing she would not give the prisoner into custody. When I detained the prisoner he denied the charge in very positive terms. He said, "If you doubt my veracity take my card." No card-ease was found on him when he was searched at the station. Police -constable 17 A said I was informed shortly before the opera terminated that two suspicious persons were bustling about in the crush-room. Mr. Corrie—Was the prisoner one of them. Policeman—l can't say, your worship, I was not there. I was on duty outside the theatre, and saw the prisoner in the front entrance, and then I heard the cry of " Police I" A lady said the prisoner had attempted to piek her pocket. He denied it most positively. The lady would not give the prisoner into custody. I, however, took him to the station-house. On searching him I found a pocket book, 6d., 2d. in copper, and a comb. A gentleman from the theatre said the box No. 31 was an omnibus box—Lord Aylesbury's. Only members were admitted, the admissions not being transferable. Mr. Corrie—ls the prisoner one of the subscribers to the box ? Witness—Certainly not. If he had been, be would not have been admissible in his present costume. Mr. Abrams (who appeared for the prisoner) —Will you swear the prisoner was not in the theatre on Thursday evening. Witness--I can't do that, as lam not in a position to know. Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner for a week in order to afford the police time to make inquiries about kim. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UTTERING COUNTERFEIT CoIN.—A. respectable looking female named Ellen Howard, residing at 15, York-street, Covent-garden, was charged with uttering a counterfeit florin at the shop of Mr. George Green, baker, 36, Great Windmill -street. Mr. Green said the female came into his shop on the evening of Thursday, and bought some buns and a loaf, and in payment tendered the florin produced. Mr. Knox said of all the bad ones he had seen, and he had seen a great many, the one produced was the worst. Mr. Green said he gave the prisoner the change, and then went after her and fetched her back. He had taken 9s. 6d. bad money before this week. Samuel Yeo, 80 C, said he found lls. 6d. good money in silver on the prisoner. She gave her address, 16, York street, Covent-garden. Prisoner—No ; No. 15. _ _ Prisoner's landlord hope - stepped forward and said the prisoner was a respectable female, and had lived in his house six months. She was a single woman. Inspector Bowles said the prisoner at the station said she was married. Mr. Knox said ho would take two sureties to bail in £2O each, for the prisoner's appearance on Thursday next. THAMES. THE JEWISH OBSERVANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN SAB BATH.—Benjamin Allum, a well known thief, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a coat from the shop of Mr. Alfred Alexander, a jew outfitter, of No. 93 St. George-street, alias Ratcliff-highway. A lad named Haman Alexander, the prosecutor's brother, stated that on Sunday night lass the prisoner came to the shop-door and took a coat away. The prisoner ran away with it, and went into Palmer's Folly, where he turned round, and that made him see his face very plainly. He continued running after the prisoner until he lost sight of him. Mr. Selfe—Did you say Sunday night ? Witness, who is a foreigner and spoke broken English— Yes, mine worship, we do keep our shop open on the Sun days to do our business. Mr. Selfe—And you ought not to have your shop open on Sundays. Procter, a police constable, said he had been in search of the prisoner until yesterday (Good Friday) morning, when he took him into custody and told him the charge. The prisoner said he wished to see the man who was the owner of the coat, but he would not allow him to do that, and locked him up. He knew the prisoner to be a thief, who had been twice in custody. The Prisoner, in reply—Once before. Mr. Selfe—That is once too often, The Prosecutor—We lost two coats before on Sunday. Mr. Selfe—Then you should not open on the Christian Sabbath, and hang your coats outside the shop. The Prosecutor—They take their chance on Sundays when the coats are hanging out. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner until next Friday. SPORTING ---THIS DAY. CITY BETTING. —THIS DAY. There is very little doing in the City to-day. For the Newmarket Handicap Gabriel d'Estrees is decidedly first favourite for money—anything over 4 to 1 being eagerly taken, while Finlande seems to be going back.—For the Derby Trial Stakes the only two horses backed were Asteroid and Wingrave, at 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 respectively.— The only feature connected with the Two Thousand was the advance of The Marquis to 8 to 1, at which price he met with some support.

The expedition is to proceed from the confines of the Sahara, will follow the route of the caravans to Timbuctou, and cross the negro kingdom of the Touareqes, whe re i t w ill mee t th a t f rom Senegal. The route of the c aravans is provided with oases, situated at about 10 leagues (25 miles) from each other. These places of repose will be increased in number by the formation of artesian wells, whi c h can be bored with great facility in that country, and round which the natives always collect. The expedition will in two months go from Biskarr to Tim buctou. Military posts will afterwards be established at different stations, and troops may then be sent to Senegal by land. EMIGRANTS FOR COLUMBIA.—The example set by Chesterfield in settin g up a party for the diggings has caused our Clay-cross friends to turn their attention to the subject. On Monday last nine or ten strong young fellows left that village far Liverpool en route to Cariboo, the new land of promise. The Chesterfield party have ere this left by steamer from New York for San Francisco, via Panama, and the general tone of the letters shows that with one ex ception they have not suffered eitlur in health or spirits so far.—Derbyshire Courier. „ :11BER.

The hon, member for Dungarvon has addressed a letter to a Dublin journal on the alleged distress in Ireland. After stating that the debate on Sir George Bowyer's motion respecting Italy had necessitated the postponement of the question of Irish distress till the 2d of May, Mr. Maguire con tinues : "My object in now writing to you is to impress upon the friends of the afflicted the necessity of communicating to me such well authenticated facts as would truly represent the condition of their several districts, and, above all things, of not lead ing me astray by exaggeration or overstatement. From my own knowledge of the state of the South I can easily understand the sufferings of the people in other parts of Ireland, especially the Nest; but I have to convince others that the condition of large masses of the people of our country is so deplorable and so urgent as to demand the serious attention of the Government. From the first, the Government have denied the existence of more than ordinary distress. Indeed, I must admit, the Government —I speak of the Irish Executive—find themselves placed in a false position, in consequence of their repeated and ostentatious laudation of Irish pros perity, and their congratulations upon the wonder ful progress which we have been making —making in imagination, I am sorry to say, and not in reality. They are now only consistent in denying the misery and wretchedness which prevail in many many districts of this country, and that there is any reason for apprehension in the months which usually precede the getting in of the harvest. To meet this syst ema ti c d en i a l, this official incredulity, I we, who are compelled by the presence and pres sure of the evil to hold a different opinion, must have facts—if possible, facts demonstrated by sworn evidence. Deaths have been traced to want of food; but the Government are prepared to assert—indeed have asserted—that these deaths were not attri butable in any degree to starvation. We believe' that death has, in s evera l i nstances, b een either ' caused by actual want of food, or accelerated thereby; and this is just what the friends of the poor must assist me in proving. I would, therefore, earnestly request that those to whom cases of death from want of food are known, or may be known between this and the end of this month, will kindly communicate with me—addressing their letters to the House of Commons —and will state such case as simply and as circumstantially as possible. I shall only add my respect f u l a d v i ce that inquests should be held in every case that unfortunately may occur ; for, as we are met by reiterated denials-- denials which, coming from the source they do, blunt the edge of sympathy, and close the half opened hand of charity—we must avail oursel ves of every just an d l aw f u l means of driving convic tion home to the minds of men. We must s at i s f y those, at least, who are not officials of the I r i s h Go vernment, and who have not committed themselves by triumphant proclamations of prosperity and persistent denials of the existence of distress, that the appeals which have been made on behalf an afflicted people were but too well jnstified by the real state of the case." THE BILSTON EXPLOSION.—The total number of deaths up to yesterday morning was 26, and several of the survivors are in a very precarious state. It has been ascertained that the diameter of the boiler was loft. Gin. Its construction and adaptibility for a high-p ressure engine will be an important matter for inquiry before the inquest closes. THAMES EMBANKMENT. — TheDuke of Northum berland, who holds property along the river side, has peti tioned the house against the bill for the Thames Embank ment, and prays that he may be heard, by himself, counsel, agents, and witnesses, before the committee appointed to consider the subject, in respect of any provisions contained in it prejudicial to his rights and interests. The Metropoli tan Board of Works and other bodies have also petitioned to be heard against the bill. CANADA. A letter from Toronto, dated April 3, says :—I send you a copy of a curious document which was forwarded some months ago by a general officer of the Confederate army to his wife, now resident in Toronto. It was issued from the Southern War office, and is in fact the Confederate official army list of general officers. Yo u will perceive that the Southern army numbers in its ranks no less than one hundred and forty of these officers, or rather did number so many when this document was issued, since which time one general at least (Zollicoffer)* (Buckner) t t a k en has been kill e d, an d another prisoner.

Lay 105 Total The generals who have no State recorded against ; their names are, I fancy, mostly Northerners en gaged in the Confederate service, and one can hardly 3 fail to be struck by the absence of foreigners from this list, hardly a name occurring which is not purely Anglo -Saxon. I have seen two letters written from the South by a high official. One from New Orleans, written just after the capture of Fort Donnelson (which arrived here via England), speaks very despond ingly of the state of the Confederate cause, and indicates Norfolk as the place where the final struggle is to be made; the second, from the same person and place, only about ten days old, which has come across the Northern States in a most mysterious manner, is written in a very hopeful strain. The writer imagines that the Merrimac and two other Southern armed steamers (now nearly ready for sea) will make short work of the blockade, and that the recognition of the Confede racy by the European Powers must necessarily follow. It is curious to observe how a small success elates either party to the American quarrel, and how a temporary reverse causes a corresponding depres kion. Public feeling here, which some three months ago was violently in favour of the South, has com pletely veered round; the everlasting "Dixie," which the gods of Toronto Theatre used to demand from the orchestra nightly, and receive with unbounded applause, is now scarcely ever called for, and on the rare occasions when some enthusiastic Southerner ventures to shout for the once popular air, the sug gestion is invariably received with contemptuous laughter, and proposals not calculated to increase the personal comfort of its originator. The troops despatched for the protection of our North American possessions are at length settled in their respective quarters, the last detachment of the military train, which had been employed along the road across New Brunswick, having passed through Toronto, on its way to Hamilton, a few days ago. lam unable at present to send an account of the stations of the artillery, engineers, and military train ; I hope to do so by next mail ; but the infan try are disposed of as follows (omitting small de- I tachments, of which I hope soon to be able to give you an exact account) : Quebec-Ist battalion 17th, 4th battalion 60th Rifles, Military Train, Artillery, Engineers. Montreal-Ist battalion Grenadier Guards, 2nd battalion Coldstream Guards, 47th, Military Train, Artillery, Engineers. Kingston—Wing Canadian Rifles, 62nd, Artil lery, Engineers, Toronto---30th, Military Train, Artillery. Hamilton-Ist R. 8., Military Train, Artillery, Engineers. London—Wing, Canadian Rifles, 62d. Between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are quartered the Ist battalion 15th, 2d battalion IGth, and 2d battalion 17th. The officers despatched here on particular ser vice—that is, for the purpose of organising the Canadian militia—have.been ordered home, and are fast departing; the exodus of the additional medi cal officers sent out last January having already terminated. The horses of the field batteries have been reduced to a peace establishment, and officers are again permitted to apply for leave of absence to England. The volunteers in the cities and large towns still continue a spasmodic course of drill, but the war feeling has died out, and it would take much to revive it. Canadian politics present so few objects of inte rest to an English reader, that it is, perhaps, hardly worth mentioning that even the supporters of the present Ministry admit that its continuance in office during the present session is extremely pro blematical; the rock on which it is, perhaps, destined to split being the ranch-vexed question of representation by population. In 1838, at the time of the legislative union of Upper and Lower Canada, an equal share of the representation was given to each province, though Lower Canada had then by far the larger population. At present the tables are turned, the tide of immigration, which has flowed steadily westward, having placed W.res tern Canada 250,000 ahead of its Eastern neigh bour. The opponents of a change in the present system base their obj ec ti ons on th e ground that fourteen years more m a y res t ore the formerpropor tionsbetween the two secti ons of the province, an d that a far greater disparity than at present exists should be shown b e f ore any a ttempt to interfere with the status quo ought t 9 be entertained. The present Ministry (in all s enses a coalition) haN lu g had lately to p ens i on off so me o f its members, finds great difficulty in filling t heir places ; many mem bers who give their s upport to th e Mi nisters object ing to t a k e o ffi c e under them, having a decided objection to face their constituencies at an election, where their unredeemed pledges to support repre sentation would be paraded against them. The re elections will take place next week, and by them the fate of the present Government will very pro bably be decided. THE LATE SIR JOHN WEST, G. CM, ADMIRAL Or THE FLEET. Expired on the 18th inst., at his residence in Eaton -square, Sir John West, G.C.8., Admiral of the Fleet. Thin distinguished officer entered the navy in 1788, as midshipman in the Pomona, Captain pamett, and after seeing much service off the coast of Africa, West Indies, North America, the Medi terranean, and the Channel, was promoted 1793 to Lieutenant in the Saturn, 74, and in the following year appointed to the Royal George, 100 guns, bear ing the flag of Admiral Lord Bridport, in which ship he took part in Lord Howes victory of June 1, 1794, and in the following year in Lord Bridport's action with the French fleets off l'Orient, in which three sail of the line were captured ; conveyed to Eng land the despatches of the Commander-in-Chief, and was promoted. Proceeding to the West Indies in 1795, in com mand of the Diligence sloop of war, Captain West served successively under the flags of Admirals Sir Henry Harvey and Sir Hyde Parker, and returned to England in 1798, in charge of a convoy of 150 sail, his health much impaired by climate. In 1807 he, while in command of his Majesty's ship Excel lent, 74, cooperated with the Spaniar is in compel ling the surrender of a French squadron of six sail of the line in blockade of Cadiz. Proceeded subse quently with the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Col lingwood, to the blockade of Toulon. In the following year, being detached with his Majesty's ship Excellent and two bomb vessels un der his orders, Capt. West proceeded to the Bay of and occupied with a s t rong Rost's, coast of Cataloni a , party of seamen and marines the Castle of Trinity, which he held with the assistance of the Spaniards against repeated attacks of the French under Gen. Duhesme, who assaulted it in f orce, but were re -1:118u01 s 9 e ); d finall yduring with th e s e operations considerable ca loss (Gazette, Jan., Capt. W est had a horse shot under him. He was relieved in this ser vice by Lord Cochrane, who continued the defence with great spirit, but was compelled eventually to blow up the works and re-embark. In the spring of 1809 he was detached with three sail of the line under Commodore Hargood to the Adriatic, and left in command of a small squadron to blockade the enemy's force lying under the batteries of Trieste. While on this service attacked and captured a large convoy proceeding from Venice to Trieste, protected by six heavy gunboats, for which the First-Lieu tenant (Harper) of the Excellent was promoted (Gazette, Dec., 1809). On his return from the Adriatic, Capt. West was appointed by Lord Cot. lingwood to the command of a squadron of six ships and vessels for the defence of the Island of Sicily and to watch the enemy's force at Naples. In 1810, on his appointment to his Majesty's ship Sultan, 74, he was detached by Sir C. Cotton with the Lavinia frigate under his orders to conduct cer tain operations on the coast of Corsica--a service which was fully accomplished and for which he re ceived the approbation of the Admiralty conveyed through the Commander-in-Chief. In 1812 he was detached by Sir Edward Pellew, K. 8., to the Gulf of Genoa, and captured two of the enemy's vessels conveying mortars, &c. Detached the same year by the Commander-in-Chief in command of a squad ron consisting of two sail of the line and a frigate, ordered to proceed to the coasts of Sardinia and Tunis with instructions relative to the Algerines. Her Majesty's ship Sultan being ordered home to refit after a lengthened service in the Mediterranean Captain West proceeded on its completion to join the Channel fleet, under Lord Keith, blockading the ports of Brest and Toulon, where he remained till the close of the war, and accompanied the Com mander-in-Chief to Bordeaux to co-operate in with dre wing the English army from France. This ser __ vice accomplished, he proceeded to the West Indies in charge of a convoy for the several islands, and returned to England the same year. Sir John's commissions bore date as under : Flag, 1819; vice -admiral, 1830; full, 1841; ap pointed Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, 1845; Knight Commander of the Bath, 1840 ; Grand Cross, 1850 ; Admir a l o f t h e Fl ee t, 1858 . _ _ __ Sir John West was a younger son of Mr. Temple West, Lieut.-Col. Ist Foot Guards, and succeeded his elder brother, Mr. Temple West, as representa tive of that branch of Wrests long settled formerly in the counties of Buckingham and Northampton. He married Harriet, only daughter of Mr. J. Adams, by whom he has left a family, who survive him. IVIARKETS-THIS DAY. COVENT FARDEN.
