Thouvenel that article appeared in the loglio of Vienna had spontaneously givenaplaatiouSto that effect ; and that the French Government had, accepted these explanations as perfectly satisfactory. The gratuitous attack of Prince Napoleon having been made in public, Prince Metternich insisted on its being disavowed in the same public manner — leaving to the judgment of the Imperial Govern ment the choice of the best means of doing so. M. Thouvenel replied the same day to Prince Metternich. He said that he had lost no time in sub mitting the Prince's note to the Emperor; and that his Majesty, while appreciating the feeling which guided Prince Metternich on this occasion, instructed him to point out an important distinction in his re ply. This distinction referred to the connection it has sought to establish between the speech of a simple senator, though that senator may be a Prince of the blood, and the responsibility of the French Government. M. Thouvenel observed that he should in a separate note enter more fully into this part of the question, but in the meantime he declared to Prince Metternich that the French Government would seize the earliest opportunity that presented itself during the debate on the Address to give to the unalterable relations of friendship existing be- PROVIDENT CLERKS' BENEVOLENT FUND.

According to the rebel admissions, their entire fleet of gunboats was de stroyed in the protracted and desperate action which gave us possession of Roanoke, 300 of their force were killed, 1,000 wounded, and all the remaining army of 2,000 men, the artillery, small arms, and munitions of war were captured.

Later in the day it was rumoured that a couple of the enemy's vessels had proceeded on a reconnaissance as far as Cole rane." • The - editor of the Petersburgh (Virginia) Express has received a letter from Suffolk, dated the 13th of February, which says that Edenton and Hertford have been captured. Five gunboats moved slowly to the wharf at Edenton yesterday and landed their troops. Very soon afterwards 15 more gun- boats arrived, The citizens raised the white flag Between 3,000 and 4,000 troops landed at Edenton. The population of Edenton is about 2,000, and is distant from Suffolk about 50 miles. In the after noon two gunboats went up the Sheran River to wards Winton, and several others towards the mouth of the Roanoke. Hartford, the capital of Perquimans county, was taken by the Federals yesterday. The Boston papers of the 15th inst. say : " Despatches from Port Royal state that a con siderable amount of cotton is still to be found scat tered about in small quantities on Edisto Island. The negroes are desirous of being armed, and of making an attack on Rockville. " The attack on Fort Donelson has begun. Our forces have surrounded it upon all sides by land, and the gunboats have dismounted three of their river guns. At last accounts the battle was going on vigorously; but if the fort is not surrendered, it will be stormed in two days more. _ . " An order in relation to State prisoners has been issued from the War Department. After reciting the condition in which the Government was caught at the outbreaking of the rebellion, being entirely off its guard, and paralysed by treason in high places, and the extraordinary powers exercised by the President for the promotion of the public safety, it goes on to say that in view Of the present more favourable aspect of affairs all State prisoners will be released on parole on signing a promise not to give aid and comfort to the rebels. The Secretary, however, reserves the right to withhold this privi lege from persons imprisoned as spies of the rebels." A special despatch to the Tribune, dated Camp .2n the Field, near Fort Donelson, Feb. 30, 12.30, says— ." Fort Donelson is invested by our troops. Our lines are formed from right to left, and from north to south, nearly surrounding the fort. Heavy can nonading and skirmishing have been going on since half-past seven o'clock this morning, but little can be learnt of its result. General 111‘Lernard's division is operating on the right wing, and General Smith's on the left. We have had but one gunboat to play upon the fort until just within the last half-hour, since when the other gunboats have been firing on the fort. The force estimated to be within the breastworks, from the best information, is about 15,000." A later despatch of the same paper says : " The cannonading and skirmishing have con tinued briskly all day, but have lately been discontinued. A considerable number have been wounded on both sides. The 25th Indiana, which rushed boldly up to the entrenchments, had 40 of their number wounded, all slightly. Berger's sharpshooters have done good service. They kept several of the enemy's guns idle by picking off the cannoneers as fast as they appeared at the guns. Captain Walker, of the Corondelet, says he has dismounted three of the rebels' river guns. The other gunboats had not arrived up to 6 p.m. The rifle shots and grape have been flying thick and fast about here all day. The rebel Generals Pil low, Floyd, Buckner, and Johnston are said to be here." A special despatch in the .Republican, dated Fort Donelson, Feb. 14, says : " Up to this time our loss is about 25 killed and 250 wounded. The right wing of our army rested within 60 yards of the rebel redoubts ; the enemy has been driven one mile. Twenty rebels were killed in skirmishes. A desperate advance was was made on one redoubt by the 17th and 49th Illinois Regiments, under Colonel Morrison, of the latter Regiment. They made two gallant charges, getting close to the enemy's breastworks, but were obliged to retire in both instances under a heavy cross-fire of heavy artillery and infantry. Both regiments suffered considerably. Colonel Morrison was severely wounded while very near the ram parts." In the Senate on the 12th of February the Bill appropriating nearly 7,000,000 dole. for the comple tion of fortifications was passed. The Senate Finance Committee's amendments, restoring the clause mak ing the interest on the public debt payable in coin, was adopted. An amendment, that the Treasury notes issued in July be received in payment of pub lic dues, was adopted. An amendment, setting apart the proceeds of the public lands and confis cated property and duties on imported goods as a special fund for the payment of the interest of the debt in bonds and notes of the United States, and for a sinking fund, was adopted, as was the amend ment striking out the provision that the notes be exchanged for bonds bearing 7 per cent. interest. The schooner Hart, of Liverpool, was captured off Florida on the 30th ult. She was endeavouring to run the blockade, and had a cargo of Enfield rifles and ammunition, valued at 1,000,000. The following are the latest telegrams received at Portland at the time the Nova Scotian took her departure -- "NEW YORK, FEB. 15. " The steamship Hansa took her departure to day for Southampton. She carries 70 passengers, and 230,000 dole in specie. " The steamship City of Baltimore also sailed to-day for Liverpool, with about 300,000 dollars in specie on freight." A telegram from Louisville, Kentucky, says : " There is good news from Bowling Green, but the Commanding General had interdicted tele graphing." The following had been received atWashington:— " LOUISVILLE, FE8.15. "To GENERAL M'CLELLAN.

The New York Tribune contains the following particulars respecting the allied expedition to , Mexico, received vCa Havannah from Mexico City, to Jan. 28, and frcm Vera Cruz to Feb. 1 : The commissioners sent by the allies to Mexico with an ultimatum returned to Vera Cruz on the evening of the 28th. Throughout their journey they were received with the greatest courtesy and kindness. Officers of all grades vied with each other to do them honou r and facilitate their pro- , gress. Upon arriving in Me xico they were in vited by Suarez, Mi n ister of the T reasury , t o a sumptuous banquet. They were treated like princes, and the distinguished consideration shown to them 'was at once interpreted as an indication that there would be no war. After due consideration of the ultimatum Presi dent Juarez delivered his reply, despatching with the commissioners Senor Zamacona, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, clothed with full power to treat with the allies upon preliminaries. The reply of Juarez expressed a desire to avoid hostilities. He acknowledged the breach of the treaties, and afforded the most satisfactory security for the future. He proposed that the allied Ministers , except a g uar d o f whos accompany the should come to Orizaba , and tre at there in detail, with Mexican commissi oners, but he exacted as a preliminary condition t hat the wh ole expeditionary honourf m or i c n ei Ministers ro o suf 2 should 00 b oe Orizaba,r re-e m barked, men, and remain there during th e bar kedhould negotiations. Senor Zamacona submitted this reply to the allies upon the 29th, and after several conferences with the Marquis de Castillejos, returned to Mexico. The allies had concluded that the condition imposed by Juarez was inadmissible, and their reply, re fusing to re-embark the troops before treating, left Vera Cruz on the Ist February. In case Juarez should show a disposition to be obstinate regarding his condition, General Prim had decided to advance with his whole force. o. op-ph S anuary the Brawl steamer Avon arrived at Vera Cruz from Havannah with General Miramon on board. His arrival was anticipated, and as soon as the steamer was signalled, a great number of his partisans crowded the pier to give him a welcome. The Avon had hardly dropped anchor, however, when she was boarded by an armed boat from a British frigate, whose officer arrested Miramon, and carried him off as a prisoner to the commodore's ship. This affair caused considerable commotion in Vera Cruz. Report said the arrest had been made by authority of the three allied ministers, as they had proclaimed to the Mexicans that they would not interfere in the internal politics of the country. To allow Miramon free passage through Vera Cruz would be equivalent to lending strong moral aid to the reactionary party. Miramon returned to Mexico as a private individual, but he probably forgot that after his fall from the presidency he seized over 400,000 dols. of specie that were under the protection of the seals of the British legation. Another report says that the British commodore made the arrest on his own responsibility, and that he holds Miramon for this theft, and for the murder of sundry British subjects, for which he will be tried, The general impression is that he was seized as a marplot, and will be sent back to Havannah. Meanwhile he is confined on board H.B.M.'s frigate Challenger. The general-in-chief of the expeditionary forces was determined to march his army to Mexico at all hazards. He says that the articles of peace and treaties must be signed at the capital. General Almonte was shortly expected at Vera Cruz with instructions, it is said, referring to the proclamation of a monarchy in Mexico, with the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria at its head. The Mexicans did not appear to relish the idea at all, and were disposed to look rather un favourably upon the French plenipotentiary, who was eaid to second the plan. A conspiracy against Juarez had been discovered in the capital, but it was stifled by the arrest of the principals. The government of Juarez were making great efforts to collect the tax upon all capital sums of 500 dols. and upwards. The Prussian minister had notified to tho government that the tax would only be paid by his countrymen under protest. Great sickness existed among the allied troops at Vera Cruz. Desertions from the Spanish force continued. Her Majesty's gunboat Plover had been lost at Alvarado, off the Mexican coast. Officers and crew all saved. News from Havannah of Feb. 8 reports that business continued very dull. The latest sugar quo tations were from 6/ to 71 on the basis of No. 12, Exchange on London, 101 to 11 prem.

I referred to the con versation which I had held with him on the same subject on the 11th of last month ; and I observed to him, in your lordship's words, that the object of war is peace, and the purposes of peace are mutual goodwill and advantageous commercial intercourse ; but that this proceeding would deprive war of its legitimate object, by stripping peace of its natural fruits.

The Royal Mail steamer Avon left Havannah on the 22d of January for Vera Cruz, and among the passengers was a gentleman under the name of Senor Manuel Fernandez, with a passport from the Spanish authorities of Havannah, all in order, but some of the other passengers reported to the captain of the Avon that Senor Manuel Fernandez was no other than General Miramon, once President of Mexico. When the Avon appeared off Vera Cruz lighthouse on the 26th of January, two boats ap proached from her Majesty's ship Challenger, and on hearing that Gen. Miramon was among the pas sengers the officers placed sentries at the gangway ports, and after the Avon came to an anchor in Vera Cruz harbour the General was arrested and .aken on board the Challenger, Capt. Kennedy, as information had reached Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., of the intention of General Miramon to try and reach Mexico, disguised as a trading passenger. His horse was in waiting for him in the town, and in the interior it is said there were 15,000 armed men, ready to place themselves under his orders. Her Majesty's steam frigate, Ariadne, Captain Vansittart, arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 6th of Feb., in six days from Vera Cruz. When she left everything was quiet at that place, and in the possession of the three Governments—England, France, and Spain. Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., with his secretary, was on shore at Vera Cruz. The Chal lenger, with the commodore pendant, was lying near the fort, and the rest of the British vessels at some distance. All the Marines who were sent from England had been landed at Vera Cruz, and they were to proceed shortly after the Ariadne left for Arazo and Alabo. The Commodore was to accom pany them. All the vessels of war were healthy. A few French and Spanish vessels of war were at Vera Cruz, the rest had gone to Havannah on a cruise. The.

The Council of the Royal Jamaica Society of Arts were still putting forth their best exertions to have the industrial interests of the country properly represented at the approaching International Ex hibition. Cordora's Mercantile Intelligencer of the Bth'ult. reports that there had been no excitement in the Jamaica market during the fortnight, and that no transactions of any extensive nature had taken place. Stocks were in fair supply, but ex cept for immediate consumption no sales had transpired. The arrival of the Confederate schooner John Z. Sabel in 25 days, having run the blockade, from Sabine, Louisiana, with a cargo of 96 bales of cotton, had been a novel feature in the market. The cargo had been sold at 10d. to ls. 2d. per lb., according to quality. Coffee continued scarce, and 525. was realised for ordinary before the arrival of the Cleator from New York. 545. was offered for 160 bags, and refused prior to the sailing of the steamer. It, was anticipated, from the news of a decline in America, that prices would rule lower. Intelligence from Hayti is interesting and im portant. 28 persons, among whom were many gen tlemen of high position, implicated in the late con spiracy to overthrow the Government of President Geffrard had been brought to trial, condemned, and twelve of them sentenced to be executed ; but the President had commuted their sentences, in com mon with the other sixteen, to various periods of imprisonment. A military man, one General Le gros, was at the head of the conspiracy, and it had been arranged that, in the event of its being suc cessful, he was to be made President of Hayti. Those convicted of the minor offenee were released after a very brief imprisonment. The revenue for Dominica for the year 1861 col lected at the Treasury the Dominican states at £12,526 135., being £2,135 4s. 2d. less than that of 1860; of which £5,449 14s. 6d. were import duties, £1,272 9s. 6d. exports, £2,669 19s. in the consump tion of rum, and £1,454 18s. 3d. road contributions; there was also a balance on the general account of January 1, 1861, of £1,302. The expenditure was £13,611 13s. 6d., being £1,411 14s. 9d. less than the preceding year. Advices from Barbadoes are to the Bth of Febrn. rare. Governor Walker had issued the writs for she House of Assembly, and the elections were to take place on the 24th. On the Ist a grand ban quet was given to Governor Walker by the leading merchants of Bridgetown, at which 80 were pre sent. The weather had undergone a favourable change, and several mills were busily at work. The crop would not generally commence till the end of the month, the canes in many places not being quite ripe. Some of the planters, however, had com menced in earnest, and a fair amount of sugar had been made, two cargoes having already been shipped. From Trinidad we learn that the working popu lation had been increased in 1861 by the arrival of 4,157 immigrants, of which number 2,161 were coolies introduced by the State, and 1,996 were labourers from the other islands. The produce shipped last year is given at 31593 hhds., 6,709 tierces, 2,501 barrels of sugar ; 7,580 puncheons, 418 tierces of molasses; 2,432 puncheons of rum; 8,472,3921 b. of cocoa ; 5,7661 b. of coffee ; 216 bales 44 serous of cotton ; 2,655 tons of asphaltum. Demerara advices are to the Bth ult. Governor Hincks met the Legislature on the sth for the first time, but the opening address would be delivered at the meeting of the combined Court a few weeks later. _ _ _ Our advices from the South Pacific via Panama have not come to hand by this packet. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty's ships Ariadne, Imaum, and Cygnet were at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the Bth of February. Intelligence had been received at Port Royal of the loss on the Mexican coast of her Majesty's gunboat Plover, 5 guns, Commander the Hon. L. Corry, but no particulars were known. The Barracouta, 6, Commander Malcolm, left Vera Cruz on the 27th of January to render assistance to the Plover. The following British war steamers were lying a t Vera publicly to state—the withdrawal of our troops from Rome. I accept beforehand that species of blame which it has been attempted to throw upon the opinions which I defend, styling them extreme and Radical opinions. It imports little whether they are extreme and Radical opinions ; the point is to know whether they are just." After a few ironical words in reply to M. de la Gueronniere, Prince Napoleon continued The Roman question ought to be settled. The public mind ought to be quieted both as regards spiritual and material interests. We have bad enough of this Roman question. It has done us much injury. It ought to be wound up. Ido not hesitate to say that if France, through the organ of its Emperor, takes a firm decision,all this excitement will be stopped. The Emperor would thereby render the greatest service to France and to the whole of Europe. There is one word, gentlemen, which I shall omit in my speech, and which I was sorry to see mentioned from the Tribune—Venice. There is agitation enough already ; we have quite enough on our hands with the Roman question, and as Venice is not mentioned in the Address, which would imply so much, I shall not allude to it in my speech. Ido not mean to say that we may not have to allude to it on a future occasion, but this is not the proper moment to do so. Ido not purpose entering into the history of this Italian question at such length as some preceding speakers have done. I will simply recall to mind the facts of 1861. An illustrious statesman dies ; it was a serious incident which might have had the most terrible consequences for Italy ? How does the Government of the Emperor act ? The Govern ment of the Emperor, inspired by a just apprecia tion of the political situation, recognises the King dom of Italy. That was an act which I cannot speak of in too high terms. The Emperor did not hesi tate ; he saw that the enemies of Italy might take advantage of that fatal death, and at the very mo ment that that death might have inflicted a blow upon the cause the triumph of which we had as sured beyond the Alps he gave it that aid which is attached to the gratitude Italy feels for France. Prince Napoleon then quoted the R ords of Napo- 61111 ho said 1:p shnula likn to see reputed by Napoleon 111. In 1808 the Emperor said to the deputies of the old Roman provinces,— " Let the clergy confine themselves to matters connected with Heaven. Theology, which they study from their youth, entitles them to authority in spiritual affairs, but does not give them any right to meddle in army or Government matters. The decline of Italy dates from the day when the priests got the management of the finances, police, and army into their hands.' " Prince Napoleon then quoted a circular of the Emperor Napoleon 1,, as follows " Considering that the confusion which has arisen between the spiritual and the temporal authority, which still exists, has been a source of discord, and has often led the Pontiffs to use the influenee of one in the service of the pretentions of the other ; as thus the affairs of Heaven, unchangeable from their nature, are mixed up with terrestrial affairs, which, according to their nature, change according to cir cumstances and customs, we do decree," &c. . Prince Napoleon then quoted various other sayings of Napoleon I. to show that the Papal power ought to be limited to spiritual matters. Prince Napoleon then quoted the celebrated letter of Napoleon 111. (when only President of the Re public) dated Elysee National, August, 1849, to Edgar Nay : " The French Republic has not sent an army to Rome to stifle liberty, but to regulate it," &c. Prince Napoleon then passed in review the whole policy of France towards Italy since the expedition to Rome, and concluded as follows : " And what do you want now. Italian unity is established with the exception of Rome and Venice. As regards Venice, that does not depend upon us ; it does not come within our competence. But Rome depends upon us; we are the involuntary arbitrators of the Roman question, because we keep French troops at Rome. . • . Agitation in Italy will all depen d uponthe ar French Government. There on ly two means of the e c onduct o f stopping that a g itation —either to send a French army across the Alps, or to let the Austrians have their own way ! Is there any one here to advocate the latter cause, and the destruc tion of Italian Unity ? (' No, no ! ' from various senators; it is inadmissible.') It is time (continued the Prince) that this question should be settled. It is bad for France, bad for Italy, bad for Europe. Let us 'withdraw our troops from Rome. I have full confidence that the solution of the Italian ques tion will terminate in the sense of unity ; that no other solution is possible under Napoleon 111. no more than it could have been under Napoleon I. ; that the spiritual power must be separated from the temporal power, and that the shadow and the genius of the. great Emperor will inspire the decisions of his successor." (From the Paris Correspondent of the Times.) The sharp animadversions passed on Austria by Prince Napoleon in his speech to the Senate on Saturday last, and which led to the stormy scene I have already noticed, have given much offence at Vienna. Prince Metternich, the Austrian Ambas sador in Paris, naturally called the attention of his Government to the fact ; and, without waiting for any special instructions, addressed a note to M. Th3uvenel on the followi n g day, the 23d ult. Prince Metternich commenced by observing that in consequence of the bitter and repeatedattackso o n f Austria proceeding from a member of the Imperial family who stood s o near the throne, he should fail in his duty a s re p resentative of the Emperor Austria to the Court of the Tuileries if he k e pt silent, particularly as the charges brought by P r i nce ipositively Napoleon ag ainst the Austrian Government were dCallithpalette his Government al e. article, occas i o ned by an a rticle in the Fo g li o di Verona , which Prince ine M andfo e r t ni ternh denied e in substance was en completely false. should be considered _ res p ons ibl e f or that for the simple reas on th a t censor ship of the press no longer existed in Austria. Indeed, this fact was established by M. de Bourqueney in the Senate at the moment Prince Nopoleon was de livering his speech •, and M. de Bourqueney added that the press in Austria was much more free than the press in France, Prince Metternich also re- seen France and Austria their real significance. Three days afterwards, namely, on the 26th, M. Thouvenel addressed a second note to Prince Met ternich. Referring to his note of the 23d, the Minister of Foreign Affairs observed that on con stitutional grounds the speech delivered by Prince Napoleon in the Senate on the 22d did not express and could not express any other opinions than the personal opinions of the Senator. Consequently, anything that Senator said did not and could not attach responsibility to the Government, that responsibility solely and exclusively resulting from the official acts of the Government, of which the only organs in both Chambers were the Minis ters without portfoljp, or - I t he commissioners espe cially delegated 6 - take pa it - in the debateevf the French Parliament. M. Thouvenel, moreover, added ' that, in fulfilment of the promise he had given in his note of the 23d, M. Billault, Minister without portfolio, had received the Emperor's orders to re establish the truth of the facts in presence of the Senate; and otherwise to remove by frank and cor dial explanations all traces of the unpleasant im pression which the incident itself might have pro duced at the Court of Vienna. On the following day, the 27th (Thursday last), Prince Metternich addressed a final note to M. Thouvenel, in which, after admitting the frankness and friendly feeling of the Imperial Government towards Austria in this matter, he declared that he considered the point settled to the common satisfac- tion of both Governments. I may add that immediately on the delivery of Prince Metternich's first note to M. Thotivenel the matter was brought before the Council of Ministers, and it was then and there decided that i\l. Billault should, on the first favourable occasion, give in the Senate the explanations to which I have referred. You may not have forgotten the rather latitudi narian doctrines enunciated on the same occasion by Prince Napoleon on hereditary rights, which so far as one could understand him belonged to the man who took the lead "in the progress of the ideas of the age." These doctrines, though perhaps regarded with favour by many of the revolutionary leaders of 1848, are opposed to the These doctri pr by the Imperial Constitution . inciple established which were notic ed a day or two afterwards nes, by the Marquis de Boissy as " displaying th ro b ducedanner of the younger branch a g ainst the elder" p, natural at Courtshould,they; somuch so tha t a deep andmt it impressionmost Price Napoleon should lose no time liwsnat painful r es we t s v r as o o l ying the effect his words produced either by altogether retracting them, or explaining them away by announcing his absolute adhesion to the fundamental law of the Empire which establishes the right of succession to the Crown of France in the direct issue of the Emperor. The Marquis de Boissy unwittingly offered, in his remarks on Prince Napoleon's speech, the opportunity sought for; and the Prince availed himself of it b y declaring his a ffection for bls eJumln, devotedness to t he Go vernment as-by law established , tw a fidelity to his dynasty, and espec iall y to the Prince Imperial. WEEKLY PROGRESS OF THE MYER NATIONAL EXHIBITION. Now that her Majesty's Commissioners are in possession of the building, the arrangements for the reception and disposal of goods are those which occupy most attention, and the advancement of the building itself, er rather of that portion of it which remains unfinished, is not so much heeded. From the eastern dome all the external scaffolding has been removed, and the huge erection stands out, with its entire outline, in relief against the sky; the glazing of it is not quite completed. Internally Mr. Crace has commenced the decoration of it, but the forest of scaffold prevents the progress of the work from being observed from below. lie has in ' the meanwhile completed his task in the eastern half of the nave and in the two southern transepts above the gallery line. The ribs of the eastern por tion of the nave bear at the tops the names of the different parts of the United Kingdom, and of the colonies and dependencies ; those of the south eastern transept the names of the principal manu facturing towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland. The western annexe presents at present an ap pearance of some confusion ; the steam-pipes are being laid and the shafting erected for the machinery. The eastern annexe also is backward, as might have been expected from the late date at which it was commenced. There is no doubt that these build ings will be ready very shortly, but in the meanwhile the storing of goods, which are however, are ter beginn i n g of someto come diffi culty.intoEtxhheibbituoireld,ing, is a mat warned that this must not be allowed to form an excuse for delay in the transmission of their s the for, last and day the on 31 w st h o ic f h March goods goods; everything that is sent her Majesty's Com eis e positively oners willfi fixed a find room can be received. The arrangements for the disposal of the large ornamental objects in the nave are now . complete. Just opposite the eastern dais, looking up the nave, is a handsome obelisk, exhibited by the Cheesewring Granite Company, after the design of Mr. john Bell. Then, proceeding westward along the nave, will be found trophies of furniture; of woollen stuffs, from Mr. Titus Salt, and linen fabrics from Belfast ; Whitworth and Armstrong guns; two large organs, Walker ; also trophies of pottery one by Messrs. Fo ster and Andrews, of Hull, and one Messrs. Kerr, of Worcester, and Messrs. Cope land, from therotteries. Further on are trophies granite,o Oxford-street. with ornaments jewelle r y and plate from Messrs. Hunt and b s r e s l . is N i cholay, f R o skell, and Messrs. Elkin g ton, a n d a trophy of furs A very i n gold, 30 feet high, and sent by a the Ross of Mull Granite Company, will form a striki ng o bj ec t near frombe tif M ul e o s kof grey the centre of the building. I n the great passage 50 feet wide, which runs transversely across the build ing from the centre entrance, will be other objects decoration distinguished for and superiority of ar rangement, the: whole interspersed with pieces of sculpture, vases, & c. The south-eastern transept will contain two trophies of steel, one by Messrs. Bessemer, and one by Messrs. Naylor and Vickers, of Sheffield, besides a large collection of ornamental iron-work from beautiful screen, manufactured by Mr. Skidmore, of Coventry, and ultimately to be erected in Hereford Cathedral. The number of fountains is not so great as in 18M. One by Messrs. Minton, in majolica ware, 36 feet in diameter, will be erected under the west ern dome, and another from France under the east ern. A small ono will probably be placed about Mr. Bell's obelisk, but besides these, her Majesty's Commissioners have no information that space for others will be required. It is satisfactory to be able to state that her Majesty's Commissioners have taken the requisite measures for concentrating all authority and respon sibility in one individual, and have appointed Mr. Sandford as sole manager and secretary.—J u Ni ha/ of the &via, of Arts. ....
