This Company has been formed for the purpose of erect ing an Hotel on a sca l e of comfort and magnificence hitherto 'unattained in London, on the grounds now known as Mansfield House and Gardens, Laugham-place. The area of the estate measures 180 feet in depth, and 333 feet frontage, commanding from the south end of Port lar.d-pkce an uninterrupted view to the Regent's Park. An idea of the dimensions of the proposed structure can be formed by comparison with the Grosvenor Hotel, which it will exceed by one-half. The site is altogether unsurpassed for its salubrity, its aspect, and central situation. Immedia,ely adjacent to the Embassies of - Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, and Por tugal, and the Consul a t e o f A merica, the Hotel will be cons s cructed with the view, among others, of affording ap propriate accommodation to diplomatic bodies and the re presontatives of foreign courts. Placed in the midst of the leading thoroughfares, the Hotel will offer material advan tages to the public at large. The approaching completion of the Metropolitan Rail -way Station, in Portland -place, will bring the Hotel, more over in immediate connection with the Great Northern, the London and N orth-Western, the Great Western, and the Midland lines. The Directors have concluded a provisional agreement, With the present lessee of the property for the sale to them of his entire interest for the moderate price of £3,500. This interest consists of a lease for 99 years at a ground •reat of Zl,OOO per annum. The materials now on the property are to be taken by the Comprny at a valuation of what they ritre:svvorth towards the construction of the Hotel, and the 1 .3 . _ has... cons ented to accept payment for the same in rawozPat6haresof the Company.

The ocean, as he ran his waves hoarsely in the rude shore and into the resounding caverns took up the universal cry, • Blush, 0. Zidon, saith the sea,' was formerly the exhortation, when vile rites polluted and human sacrifices terrified the Syrian shore ' • but now, as the coming tide sent in h er w hit e breakers and boomed !over the coral ledges of Hawaii, the tri umphant song ' which mingled with the roar of waters had the same burthen,--‘ Great Pan is dead !" But although paganism was thus aban doned, the Christian religion did not immediately supply its place. The people indulged for a season in infidelity, till the missionaries effected a change, and large numbers of the people were in a certain sense, converted. Since then the chief events of 'Moment that have taken place in these islands have been of a political character. Thus the King, in 1840, voluntarily conferred on the people a constitution, and the independence of the kingdom has been guaranteed by the principal European Powers. The present monarch, Kame hameha the Fourth, seems a patriotic sovereign, whose whole thought is bow to benefit his subjects, but it is greatly to be feared that his successors will have none left to govern. The Polynesians seem a doomed race. The inhabitants of these islands have diminished to one-third of what they were in Captain Cook's time, and the destroying agencies are still at work. Of their nature Mr. Hopkins gives some indications, and he expatiates at considerable length on the 'intrigues of the various missionaries who have settled here, and the results produced by their teaching. In, fact, the account of all connected with these islands is as complete as could is desired. The matter is ex ceedingly well arranged, the style is easy and fluent, and the book is entertaining as a novel whilst being instructive ae a history. MONTAGU-HOUSE. The Sandwich Islands. By Manby Hopkins, Longman and Co. This work, by the Hawaiian consul-general, gives an extremely interesting account of that group of small islands, more specks in the map of the world, one of which is notorious as having been the place at which Captain Cook was killed. Since then their progress in civilisation has been rapid. They have adopted European customs and clothes; have learned to read, write, and cast accounts; pos sess a constitutional government, a free press, and an agricultural society ; have accredited agents at the European Courts ; and rank among the kingdoms of the earth. It is this transition from a simple to a sophisticated state that Mr. Hopkins has set himself to chronicle, and the ability with which he has performed his task will be widely re cognised. "The i mportance of the Sandwich islands," he says, " politically and commercially, arises from their particularly central situation. They lie in a diagonal position from south-east to north-west, in a parallelogram rather exceeding one formed by the 19th and 22d degrees of north lati tude, and the 155th and 160th meridians of west longitude; and it will be seen, by reference to a map, that the group is nearly equidistant from the coasts of America and Japan, and that a radius from its centre would touch in succession the shores of Central America, the North-West States, the Russian territory, the Aleutian Archipelago, Japan, the Phillippine Islands, Torres Straits, New Zealand, and the Feejee Islands. And whilst Australia is just beyond the ambit, California and Vancouver's Island are within a shorter distance of the Ha waiian Islands." Their origin is volcanic, though the ceaseless labour of _the t coral insect has tended - to increase their size or to produce reefs at greater or less distance from the shore. They have no metals, but possess dense forests, rich valleys, and many rivers, whilst on the pasture lands large herds and numbers of horses are raised, many of the latter being in a half wild:state. The climate is tem perate and equable; there are no noxious• reptiles, but insects and vermin have entered with civilisation. The people are strong, well-made, and highly cou rageous. "Kamehameha I. would allow six of his warriors to throw their spears at him, himself armed only with one of the javelins, with which he would turn aside the flying weapons, each ready to let out his life-blood." They are daring swimmers and bold riders, do not hesitate to attack the shark, and will "plunge down the waterfall into the ocean when the leap is forty feet and upwards in height." The seenery is thus described : " On approaching the group from certain directions the the first objects which meet the sight are the two lofty peaks on Hawaii, each 14,000 feet in height —two miles and a half—one of them capped with perpetual snow, which contrasts with the deep blue the tropical sky above, and with the darkness of the lava forming the sides of the mountains. A rude and irregtlar outline of high lands then presents itself ; and on the north side are seen, on a nearer view, the dark forests vhich clothe the lower region of the mountains ; whilst gidcy precipices front the sea, of from 1,000 to 3,000 feet in ?erpendicular height, against whose walls the waves beat, aid surge, and thunder through the caverns which they have hollowed 'for themselves in their ceaseless war. In some places, streams, which have 'United their waters on their way, rash together over one o f those palls, or precipices, into the ocean. Still nearer, the white foam is seen pouring in sheets,over cor a l ree f s , of which there is sometimes an outer and inner ridge. The islands are generally lofty ; the small'. isle of Lehua, near Niihua, having an elevation cf 1,000. feet. The upland region of Mimi las an uniform height above the sea of 4,000 feet. Once through the reefs, r anchored i n a lee ward roadstead, Scenes of gentler beaity are disccivered— pleasant bays, with sandy shores, a native village often,with its small chapel, and generally with its scb.ool, sheltered by groves of palm and cocoa-nut, and the , Eleeper'green of the bread-fruit.tfee; rivers running down to<the sea, down some of whose cascades the native girls and youths cast themselves with laughter, and take a bath; which must exceed any - douche ever experienced at the severest of s our water-cure establishments. At the mountain foot grassy plains meet the forest, roamed over by herds• of cattle,, which," in many' instances, have become v Coffee plantations and sugar-cane give their verdure to the culti vated districts." Theyolcanic features are very remarkable. The crater of Kilanca is the largest active one in the world, the-circumference of the orifice being esti mated at from six to nine miles, and its depth at 400 to 1,000 feet. In this pleasant place was supposed to dwell, in heathen times, the Goddess Pele, who with attendant divinities of equally unaccountable tastes, bathed and sported in fire and sulphur. Eruptions sometimes take place on a scale of terrific grandeur. "If," says an eye witness, on some moun tain with% the largest fire that ever .siestssaitea St; Francisco could be reproduced, and four or five hundred domes, like that of St. Peter's at Rome, when illuminated, be dotted about on the slopes be low, the general effect might be that of a very pretty miniature on ivory of the eruption on Mauna Loa.'" The capital of the islands is Honolulu, a city of about 12,000 inhabitants, remarkable for being built without a single chimney. In other re spects it appears to have quite a European character, " people of all nations are meeting in the wide streets; English, American, French, German, Chinese, South Polynesians, are repre sented here ; busy with commerce, with politics, with dinner at the very excellent hotels, or, in that rest-inviting climate, busy doing nothing." The presant King Kamehameha the Third is a very intelligent and enlightened sovereign, who has travelled in Europe and America, and has turned his experience to good account. " On a small scale," said he to Mr. Hill, " I am endeavouring to do with the blessing of God, what Peter the Great of Russia, did on a large :scale "—a remarkable sentiment for the King of the Sandwich Islands to utter. Although the Islands had been undoubtedly touched at before Captain Cook's arrival, he was the first to discover them, in the common sense of the term, and the fact of his having been killed at Hawaii, has indissolubly connected his name with them. This renowned navigator seems to be no great favourite with Mr. napkins, and the version he gives of the intercourse between the English and natives, and the cause of the conflict does not wholly redound to the credit of the former. Their arrival created great astonishment. "The appear ance and get up the 'British Seaman' of that day was a peculiar one ; it was especially wonderful in the eyes of the Kamaka (native). The cocked hat adhereing to the head, was to them identified strictly with the wearer, so that the spies who went to ex amine the ships described the people on board as having heads horned like the moon.' They had fires burning in their mouths,—no doubt cigars; they ate the raw flesh of men; this was the red, juicy watermelon brought from Monterey ; they took, like Peter Schlemmit, anything they wanted out of their bodies,—such was the first impression of pockets on the native mind ; and what was more laughable than all (for the Hawaiians are essenti ally a risible people), was the utterly unintelligible gibberish the strangers spoke. All these circum stances, together with the firing of some guns, made the natives conclude that their visitors were gods." They thought, in fact, that Tono, the Hawaiian Hercules, who, having killed his wife through jealousy, had become frantic, and turned wanderer, had returned, as he had promised, " on an island bearing cocoa-nut trees, swine, and dogs." They, therefore, at first, paid Captain Cook divine honours, which he seems, by this account, to have unhesitatingly accepted; but misunderstand ings gradually arose; the islanders lost faith in the divinity of their visitors, and the tragedy of Keala keagua Bay was the unlucky result. The most re markable native who has appeared in these islands is Kamehameha the First, styled by Mr, Hopkins the Bonaparte of the Pacific, and who " had the unusual advantage of having two fathers. He was at once reputed to be the son of Keona, brother of the King Kalaniopun (Cook's Tereobu), and he was equally claimed as the offspring of Kahikili, King of Mani, As he received inheritances from both claimants to his paternity, he could scarcely object to an arrangement which in many cases might be felt embarrassing." This chieftain signalised him self by conquering all the neighbouring islands, and his administrative talent seems to have been of a high order. Still he remained an idolator to the last, as the arguments of the missionaries were not sufficiently convincing to induce him to change his creed. He seems to have been a practical man of a humorous turn, for, " at the conclusion of a highly coloured appeal about the power of faith," he pressed on them the crucial test of throwing them selves, in faith, from the top of a neighbouring pre cipice, his belief to be dependent on their safe ar rival at the bottom of it." So deep was the grief at this great king's death that one of his chiefs pro posed, as the right way of testifying it, that they should eat the corpse raw, but as the majority de murred, probably thinking it would be disrespectful, the deign was abandoned and the king's remains were " tied up in a bundle of tape and put safely away." So safely indeed that they could never be found after. The national religion now began to decay, the people lost faith in their idols, the high priest led the van, and at length, strange to say, they burnt and destroyed them all. "Then," the writer eloquently says, " to fancy's ear, came moan ing along the rocky shores, murmuring in the passionate mountain torrents, and sighing in the winds, the melancholy wail, ? Great Pan is dead .' through the old primeval forests clothing the flanks of the volcanoes, echoing from dread. preci- THE FRENCH IN MEXICO.

Notwithstanding all these precautions the truth will ooze out, and although I cannot furnish you with heart-stirring accounts of battles won and lost, I think the follow ing will prove, although a short, still a tolerably accurate statement of what has taken place since the date of my last. After the attack on the Cerro de Guadalupe, the French general,finding Zaragoza in greater strength than he expected, deemed it imprudent, with the small force he had at his command-(not" in - ore Ville 5,000 men), to ciiittinue 14 and he therefore c onineneed a ietitat tiirott Alia% this retreat, or more properly countainulici, ap pears to have been conducted4ti a Most Jeisarely manner, for on the 18th he was still, at the Cambres de Acultzingo, having taken 12 days toperform. a distance of some leagues.. Zaragoza, with about 11,000-men, followed in the same direction, or as the Government say, in pursuit, and there 'is a report that Caravtijal, in' command of the Meiican' cavalry, got very severely handled on the morning of the 14th, and lost some 300 menin : an attack he made on the rearguard of the French. OuthalBth 'Marquez, with, about 2,000 men, was endeavouring to form a junction with Lorencea ,when he was attacked by a large body ofZaragoza's troops under General Tapia. The Preach, who had already in' part descended - the Cunibres, hearing the firing, countermarched, and taking possession of a small eminence which commanded the entrance of the Barranca Seca„a small valley in ,whieh the fight was taking place, fell with tremendous effect upon the forces of Tapia p which are said to have been. almost annihilated. (From the London Review.) It is more than probable that the report of the Thames Embankment Committee will give rise to much animated discussion both in and out of Parliament. We are just now dealing with but a small instalment of a grand scheme which, sooner :or later, will certainly be carried out, and which will substitute wide public quays, such as adorn the Seine in Paris and the Arno in Florence, for the mean and ruinous sheds and foul mud-banks at present degrading and contaminating the margin of the Thames. The section of this scheme, which has been lately under the consideration of a committee of the House of Commons extends but from Blackfriars to Westminster. We have learnt with consternation that the report of the committee recommends that the public road along the embankment shall extend no further than from Blackfriars to Whitehall stairs, and that it shall, at that point, turn up into White hall and pour its traffic into Parliament-street. The only reason given for this extraordinary suggestion is, " that further time may be thus afforded for ascertaining the best means of relieving the thoroughfares of the metropolis." It must, however, be clear to everybody who has attended the sittings of the committee, that the reason thus given is not the real reason ; that the motives by which its members have been influenced are very different from those by which they say, and we hope, they suppose they have been actuated. Between Whitehall-stairs and Westminster-bridge stand the residences of the Duke of Buccleuch and of one or two other gentlemen, who possess considerable Parliamentary influence. If the original scheme submitted to the com mittee be persisted in, a public road will be opened in front of these houses, between them and the river, by which they will be separated from it, exactly as the houses in Picea dilly-terrace are separated 'by Piccadilly from the Green park. The Duke and his neighbours object to this intru sion; they are desirous that the embankment shall be made, they are even willing to incur a portion of the cost of making it—for its construction would be an enormous ad vantage to them—but they are determined if they can, that in front of their housies there shall be no traffic, and that the new quay—public everywhere else—shall be kept strictly private in front of their residences. W e do not propose to discuss the many important ques tions opened by this strange recommendation of the com mittee, before the report and the evidence on which it is based are made public ; all we at present propose to do is, to detail the circumstances under which the site of Montagu. house—probably the most valuable plot of ground in Lon don—was recently smuggled out of the hands of the Crown into those of the Duke of Buccleuch, who now stands for ward, by counsel, as the chief obstructor of the proposed public improvement. His Grace holds the ground on which Montagu-house stands on a lease from the Crown for 99 years, commencing in 1855. The old mansion, recently pulled down, was built in 1733 and dlease of it for 62 years, commening in 1806, was granted to his Grace's father in 1810. It appears from Parliamentary papers now before us, printed on the 11th of August, 1854, that the Duke has long been anxious, for good and sufficient reasons to obtain a renewal of the old lease granted to his father in 1810, and • that the Lords of the Treasury,, with whom the matter rested, have been equally determined not to grant any such renewal, on the ground that the site of Montagu-house would, in 1868, be requred for the erection of public offices. , Roads and Rails, and their Sequences, Physical and Moral. By W. Bridges Adams, Engineer. Chapman and Hall. To make a book readable two things are requi site ; first, that the writer be master of his subject, and, secondly, that he display a certain degree of enthusiasm in its exposition ; and both these in a high degree Mr. Adams has here shown himself to possess. In fact, his enthusiasm will sometime make sober-minded people inclined to smile. In his opinion there is nothing like steam. Rail-• roads, according to him, will reform the world. And, indeed, the results to which, he points are so desirable that it is impossible not to wish that his previsions may prove correct, however much one may doubt the power of steam to produce them. When we eonsider the wonderful material and aesthetic civilisation of ancient times, a civilisa tion, of the latter kind especially, of which we are only beginning to have a faint conception, and when we consider that all that was produced with out the agency of steam, we feel somewhat scepti cal as to the peculiar eficacy of that motive power in producing such results. Nevertheless, we are far from wishing to detract from the merit of Mr. Adams's book. It is thoroughly honest, manly, elo quent, and eminently suggestive. It is perfectly free from all taint of snobbish exclusiveness, and its aim is to advocate and promote the greatest happi- . ness of the greatest number. Thus, if he err some what as to the means, he is perfectly right as to the end. For instance, speaking of the evil of too great a subdivision of labour, he says that,." Farm men, and factory men, and mechanical men, dwel ling near each other, and capable of changing to each other's employment, would not 'be pobr Or helpless. Their faculties would quicken by variety and their labours of loathing would becOme labours . of love." But—" It is only by cheap and convenient transit, facilitating the aggregation Of persons and things,. and their dispersion, that this desirable change can be brought about." To conduce to it he would have steam supersede common carriages on common roads. " Long it cannot be ,ere bur suburban roads and our country roads will .have iron rails inserted in their surfaces, over vi hich locomotives with small wheels will work in hilly districts, and locomotives with larger wheels on .more level districts," •then " the squalid huts will pass away and be no more, the easy means of transit will unlock the latent faculties, and the labour—both of townsmen and countrymen— will be convertible to either locality." We fear there are other difficulties besides mere .ws.nt of transit ei e this kind of communion can be reduced to practice. There are few, we imagine, who could successfully or profitably pursue more than one call ing, and the common proverb about the " Jack of all trades" expresses the general opinion on this point. " Let the shoemaker stick to his last," is a still more antique saying to the same effect, and we suspect it will be applicable to the end of time. But Mr. Adams considers that it is not mechanical labour alone that is to benefited by railways, but art. " Little," he says, "do artists dream of the high purposes to be wrought out by the agency of railways, unless, indeed, they dream that high art and nature's beauties and wonders should be reserved only for the few, while the many toil to give them leisure. Would ye build temples, oh, ye men of art ! temples to God ? Would ye build these temples only for the rich ? No; the true artist builds for mankind. Where, then, would ye place your temples ? In the squalid haunts where men congregate, in the cities that have grown up in the days of barbarism ? No, no ; the high places of the land, the wild heaths and pine groves made by God ere man was—where the lark sings, and not the dens where the mouse chirps and the rat burrows — are the true sites for your temples, where the hand of the spoiler shall not come to build them round with dens of iniquity. And how shah the people go to worship at God's altars thus placed in the pure and holy air, how—hut by the railway you run down and scorn ?" Hitherto it has been thought best to place temples where they could be generally seen and be most conveniently used, where, in fact, people "most do congregate." We fear that even the respectable classes, to say nothing of the lower orders, would demur at paying a railway fare when they wished to go to church ; and then what would the Sabbatarians say to the employment of stokers, engineers, guards, porters, and other officials on their day of rest ? If our temples are exclusive it is not because they are built in town rather than the country, but because of the peculiarities of the Church of England. We have no temples for the poor. With us the road to heaven can only be re spectably reached through Sunday clothes and renting a pew. In Roman Catholic countries it is different. The church there is as free to the beggar as to the prince, and the consequence is that whilst infidelity is widely prevalent among our lower orders it is there confined to the educated classes. Not that we advocate Roman Catholicism. Heaven forbid ! We merely point out to Mr. Adams why railways alone will not make people lead religious, sober, godly lives. He continues—" Again, artists, would ye build temples to the drama, to the muses —where would ye place them save on the railway line ? The day has gone by when it was a need for men to build close cities ; and the time is coming when, as of old, the tree will again shadow the dwelling. Time and space have been vanquished, and the residences of regenerate man have yet to be constructed. Turn whither we will, do what we will in art, artistry, mechanism, agri culture, exercise, health, knowledge, or, if it must be, war—in all things henceforth the iron way is the way of our worldly salvation, of our mental progress, of our souls' rescue from:degradation." This is sufficiently comprehensive, and we trust it may come to pass. Provided our dwellings and persons be rendered healthy and beautful and our minds educated and refined, we care little what means be used in the process. But it is rather e curious that Mr. Ruskin, who is cons idered to b the great apostle of art and the great advocate_ , ,_ I _°_ l ; elevating the workman, should be the deaeYmwe that " railways, and should consider that it is to them the iniquity and perversity of th is . should be mainly owing.

It would be easier to establish a new form of Government altogether than to establish either one of the contending factions. All we want is a foreign force in the capital, and the rest will follow as a matter of course. Hitherto we have had but a series of blunders to deplore. It was a blunder to send an allied force of 10,000 men, unprovided with the means of trans port. It was a blunder to allow that force to remain inactive at Vera Cruz when a four days' march upon Jalapa or Orizaba would have provided them with that transport. It was a blunder to acknowledge the present Government by sending up Deputy Com missioners. It was a still worse blunder, when these Commissioners had failed in their mission and when there was no Mexican force in the field, not to take active measures. It was a blunder to enter into pre liminaries founded on falsehood, and which could by no possibility lead to good results, and it was an unpardonable blunder for the Commissioners here Early in 1852 the Whigs were driven from office, and Lord Derby succeeded them. At this crisis the Duke of Buccleuch, in no way discouraged by the decided refusal which he had already received from the Whig Lords of the Treasury in 1850, again pressed that department tor a re newal of his lease. In June, 1852, we find the Duke's agent, Mr, Frederick . Nicholl, of Carey-street, addressing Mr. Charles Gore, of the Woods and Forests, on behalf of his employer, and renewing the very same application that had been firmly rejected. but two years before. In spite, holv,eyer, of Mr. Nicholl's importunity, and in spite of the ,marked and affectionate interest which-Mr. •.Charles Gore appears to have taken in the subject, the Tory lords of the Treasury, 'who had just' come into officeo and probably expecfed , to remain in (for -they anticipated great things from the impending dissolution of Parliareept), very properly declined to entertain the gross job suggested to them by Messrs. Nicholl and Gore, and their refusal is re cordedin a Treasury minute, dated Aug. 17, and in to. letter addressed by Mr. Charlea Gore to Mr. Nicholl,' dated Sept. 11, 1852. " Hele the subjeci would probably have dropped for ever had not the general election, which took place in the autumn of 1852, proved. =favourable to the Tory cause. The new Parliament Tact en the 4th of November, and while the aoouo 4,Lz. was girding himself up tor the onslaught which he knew would be made on his financial measures by Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, the Patronage Secretary of the Treasury, was exerting himself to prop up shaky votes and to make poli tical converts by the usual means found efficacious on such emergencies. It was well known that if the Tories were forced to resign, Lord Aberdeen would succeed Lord Derby ; and the Duke of Buccleuch, a nobleman of vast political influence, was more than suspected by the Carlton Club of entertaining dangerous Peelite tendencies. It became there fore desirable that he should be well looked after, and con ciliated as much as possible. So, at this critical juncture, the subject of the lease of Montagu-house suddenly cropped up again, spontaneously as it were. It does not appear, from the papers before us, that the Duke himself revived it ; or that Messrs. Nicholl and Gore bestirred themselves afresh on his behalf, Never theless we find that on Dec. 8 (the discussion on Mr. Dis raeli's financial measures, on which his Government de pended, having been fixed for the 10th), a friendly letter was addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury to Mr. Gore, apprising him that "my lords" had reconsidered the matter of the renewal of the lease so much desiderated by the duke; that since their last refusal to grant it "my lords" had obtained information regarding the terms of the leases of the houses in Richmond-terrace, which had changed their views ; and this new information, coupled with the fact that the duke was a very old tenant of the Crown, had induced them to agree that a lease of 99 years should be granted to him. A reference to the plan facing page 2 of the papers be fore us shows that " my Lords" did not adhere very rigidly to the truth in making this communication, in asmuch as the information regarding the terms of the leases of the houses contiguous to Montagu House had which is the date of the last minute refusing to grant the proposed renewal, but as far back as the 7th of October, 1850. And, as the last refusal had taken place in Septem ber, 1852, the Duke was but three months older tenant when he got the lease than he had been when the selfsame Government had flatly refused to grant it to him. Be that as it may, two days after "my Lords'" conciliatory letter was written to the Duke the discussion on Mr, Disraeli's financial measures was resumed in Parliament, and after a debate which lasted four nights the Tories were driven from office by a small majority, and the Peelites succeeded them. We are not in a position to say on which side the Duke of Buccleuch exerted his influence on that occasion in the House of Commons, or whether he exerted it at all on either side ; but such are the more than suspicious cir cumstances under which his Grace got a lease for 99 years, on remarkably easy terms, of one of the most valuable pieces of land in the metropolis, as proved by official documents and by dates which cannot be disputed. The ludicrous manner in which Mr. Disraeli dragged be fore Parliament in 1854, with the view of damaging Mr. Gladstone, the circumstances under which he himself had sanctioned the minute authorising this shameful job are now well known. Mr. Disraeli declares that in the hurry of business he initialled the document in ignorance of its contents, and we give entire credence to his assertion, for he undoubtedly had plenty of work on his hands at the time. But we would ask whether it is even now too late to insti tute some inquiry into the job,'and whether the actual per petrator of it cannot be, if not brought to justice, at least ascertained and stigmatized ? And, although we do not presume to insinuate that the Duke of Buccleuch did more in the matter than to accept the bribe which the Tory Government, in the agony of im pending dissolution, possibly forced upon him, we are of opinion that a Committee of the House of Commons, when to declare null and void a formal convention made by the three Powers in Europe, and thus afford a pretext to the Spanish commander for the with drawal of the forces under his command. These unaccountable proceedings have led Mexicans to believe that the three Powers are afraid to interfere in the affairs of the country, lest they should bring down upon them the hostility of the United States. They have given time to the present Government to collect resources both in men and money, and men. they have, to all appearance at least, satisfied Juarez and his Government that England and Spain have retired from the contest, leaving France to settle the matter as best he may. Now, it is absurd to suppose that any partial disagreement between their agents here could ever lead to a coolness between two such Powers as France and England upon such a question as it is to imagine that a treaty would be entered into for objects common to both countries without those objects being carried out, it would be bat a mere act of mercy at once to disabuse the Mexican people and lay the matter before them in its true light. It is but fair to state that whatev_e_ r . difference of opinion may have existed between M. de Saligni and Sir Charles Wyke, the utmost unani mity prevails between the French and Englisht resti dents. The latter know but too well that any roa y made with a Mexican Government is not worth the paper it is written on, and that their very existence now depends upon the success of the French expe dition. It is not s ur p rising, d u ct of her Majesty' s therefore, that the c on _ I re presentative and that o f Spain should be universally condemned. Some idea may be form ed o f the state of trade whenin ie fo h r i m n you that one of the leading English firms, h ordinary revolutionary times and at this season of the year sells goods to the amount of 50,000 doll. , has , during this present month of May, sold only 700 dole. worth ; still it has to pay heavy percent ages on capital, forced contributions, double taxes, and numerous other impostions. The case of ono is the case of all. To add to their other misfortunes the city latterly has been inundated with hundreds of thousands of false dollars, so admirably made and corresponding so accurately in weight that it is almost impossible to detect them. Where they are manufactured, or whence they come, nobody knows; one thing is certain, that the Govern ment have taken no steps to discover forgers. Day after day are decrees promulgated, subjecting cognisant, as they now are, of the disgraceful circumstances under which the renewal of the lease of Montagu-house was granted, would not feel disposed to evince much considera tion for the objections which its tenant may raise to the opening of a public highway along the embankment be tween him and the river. The time will undoubtedly come when the proposed quay will be prolonged, in front of the Houses of Parliament, from Westminster-bridge to Vaux hall, the contiguity of Westminster Abbey to the Houses of Parliament precluding the possibility of widening the thoroughfare between then.. And when that time does come, if we give way on this occasion to the Duke and his allies, we shall have to repurchase back from them, at an enormous cost, the indusputable right which we now pos sess, and which the committee so strangely recommends us to abandon, of making an uninterrupted public quay from Blackfriars to Vauxhall. Beyond Vauxhall the quay already exists. the unfortunate inhabitants to fresh exactions, and with such rigour are they levied, that a man rich to-day may be a pauper to-morrow. Re• spectable persons are thrown into prison upoi the most frivolous pretences, and there kept for indefinite periods. A man even talking of inter vention is liable to be shot. This is scarcely a Government deserving of much considerations. It is marvellous to find a nation tamely submitting to all this ; but they are so bound down by tyranny that any additional outrage only renders them the more submissive. They are really Worms that will never turn. Every day may be seen 50 or 100 able bodied men, dragged from their homes to recruit the army, marching through the streets guarded by three or four soldiers, followed by their ViTeo; A Suspicious CASE.—It was reported in The Sun a fortnight ago that a vessel, the Mary of Exeter, laden with teak, had been picked up floating upon her broadside, off the Fern Islands, and towed into the Tyne by three powerful steam tugs.

The norrespon deuce by the Frenchrpacket arrived last night; it was not stopped by the Govertment as at first supposed. The unfortunate- courier died of vowito on the road, and for some time no 0170 could he found who would hazard his life by being the bearer of correspondence. We were surprised: to find that no farther - French troops Wert; under orders for thiS country; from the turn things have taken no time ought to be lost, and reinforeements ought to he sent without delay. The partial suc ccss at the Cerro de Guadalupe has inspired this party with confidence, and it may require one or two thrashings to convince them that their troops are not equal to contend with the heroes of Solfa• rino. It appears that in the action of the 18th the French had but two killed and ten wounded, Mexi cans upwards of 700 killed and 1,000 taken pri soners. General Douet left Vera Cruz for Orizaba with 1,000 men on the 18th. It is said that he will be opposed by La Llane at the Chiquihucti. The, Custom-house of Vera Cruz has been handed over to the French, and by them delivered to 41.1monte ; ~,thiff,•to say the least,, is. injudieious. It is also rumoured that afie slit r O4entiOn has t been sign ed by the three Powers, leav in g the management: to France ; this would seem to be a move in the right direction. The 2lfoniteur of yesterday morning publishesith following news from Mexico of the 28th of May, received via Southampton:— " Marquez, with 2,000 troops, effected a junction with the French expeditionary corps on the 18th of May. The Mexican vanguard, consisting of 1,500 men,-endeavoured to prevent this movement, but was almost entirely destroyed by our troops." The hloniteur adds : " We hope that the expected official reports will hasten to confirm this information." The following account contains some interesting details : ~5 " CITY OF MEXICO, MAY 28. " On the 11th of May, at 9 a.m., the French army commenced retreating from Amozoc, and succes sively passed through Acatzingo, Quecholac„ ,San Augustin del Palmar, Istapa, and over the heights of Acultzingo, arriving on the evening of the 17th at Orizaba. " During the retrograde movement of the French great discord arose among the reactionary bands assembled at Atliaco and Matamoras Izucar. Owl party of them, headed by Marquez, Cobos, Vicario, , &c., resolved to join the French, and act in concert with them. The others, commanded by Zuloaga, Zires, &c., determined not to take part in the con flict. The forces of Marquez and Cobos consisted. of from 3,000 to 4,000 men; chiefly cavalry, and, although undisciplined and ill-armed, they never ceased to harass the troops-=of teneral Zaragoza, thieatening them in flank and in rear. e‘ After the return of the French to Orizaba, ~Gemeral Zaragoza's army remained echeloned along the road from San Augustin del Palmar to Acult- - r (zi go". General Tapia, with two cavalry corps, was po ted near the latter point, situated at the , : base of . ~-,4„s Cumbres, in order to watch the moyemenis 9 p f . Marquez, who was endeavouring to join the French_, On the morning of the 18th, General Tapia received • - information that the forces of , Marque 4 were debouching by the Barranca Seca, and iminediUelyi prepared to meet them. ' .. . . , " Marquez, in crder to avoid the main body of • .. General Zaragoza's army, instead of taking the main road and posing by the Cumbres, entered the defiles of the mountains between Tehuacan and the Cumbres with 2,000 men, following paths which generally are only wide enough for one horseman to pass at a time. Thus he arrived on the 18th at Barranca Seca, two leagues from Iligenio, and six from Orizaba. ; t er .~- " The Barranca Seca is a gorge, half a league in diameter, surrounded on all sides by inaccessible mountains, with a narrow opening in the direction of Orizaba. This opening, although very narrow, is divided by a mamelon commanding the whole position. At the bottom of the gorge, exactly facing the opening, the mountains are separated by a road, affording passage for only a single file of horsemen. It was through this narrow and difficult path that Marquez's forces debouched. On learn ing this movement Gen. Tapia prepared to meet the enemy with his two corps of cavalry. He found the army of Marquez drawn up in battle array at the bottom of the gorge, and entered the defiles in order to prevent it from escaping. The conflict commenced at about nine in the morning, but at first was confined to skirmishing. Gen. Tapia sent for reinforcements to Gen. Negreti, who was at Acultzin go, and Marquez, on his side, despatched couriers to Orizaba in order to inform the French of his perilous position. About half-past four a force of 1,100 infantry, sent by Gen. Negreti, arrived at the scene of action. Part of this force entered the gorge and engaged in combat with the cavalr o f f Marquez. The remainder guarded the passes to oeap c ieces at the bottom of reactionary forces would eth o te, elock about 2,000 Fre nc h Combat undoubtedly w a s havedeadly, tfiliveeirappearance. Immedi a t e l y thetrtroops e g p o e r e g u e d , wd suddenly about made on receipt of Marquez's message a body of Zonaves, Chasseurs de Vincennes, and the 99th Regiment of the line, had been set in motion to reinforce him and arrived at the critical moment, occupied t h e outlets of the gorge, and took posses s i on o f th e d o ed fo t r h o e es w , o h o o t le o p o o ly sit t i h o o n s . e of commanded the whole position. "Thus all the Mexica mamelon whichaall the T ap i a , but also those commanded by Marquez, found themselves shut up frightful carnage ensued. N • either party had ar tillery, and firearms were scarcely used in the butchery. The battle was fought hand to hand for the space of two full hours until night closed in. Towards the doof the conflict the French, owing to the darkness, were unable to distinguish the Mexicans, and charged both the soldiers of General Tapia and those of Marquez. At length night ter minated the conflict, the French withdrawing to Orizaba, accompanied by Marquez and his cavalry, and General Tapia's troops returned to the posi tion which they occupied before the battle. The Mexicans suffered immense losses, which, without exaggeration, may be estimated at 50 per cent. of their number. Marquez, it is said, lost 600 men. As for the French their loss must have been equally severe, although the number is not known. Vicay o is reported to have been killed in the action. " The following morning at about nine o'clock the Mexicans visited the battlefield and carried off the spoil. The French only arrived at noon aln of buried the dead bodies of their comrades, al nded left on which were found stripped. The wou the field all night nearly all died. • " The losses of General Tapia are estimated at from 1,000 to 1,100 men.
