" The author of 'Dreamlani' and Aletheia' hag risen to a height so very close to the summit of genius that he may be commiserates for h's inability to g ra ppl e with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity or image, topic, and illusion : the landscape is most luxurious ; and the tnnt!c of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. "air. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. Marianne will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well Characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum, "The oharin of ' Mr. Kent'S‘poettl, a 9 it - 1A the flild condi; tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and'not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Bet it is by nopeans his only merit. Re is a mas ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. `Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. 'f he Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr.-Kent-would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably an d musically known in the mArical literature of the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome anOther volume from his pen. A. series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, 'The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There Is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. . " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. "Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet; in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. " We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than 'Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in ' The Morris Dancer s.' "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song:, by devoting the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures here collected which is not perfect in all its parts,-"whether we consider the sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak—are equally charmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

The intelligence I sent you on the 12th has since been confirmed in every particular. On the 9th the representatives of the three Powers, then assembled at Orizaba, addressed the following note to Doblado, the Minister for Foreign Affairs : " The Plenipotentiaries of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, the Emperor of the French, and of her Ma jesty the Queen of Spain beg to inform your Excellency that, not having been able to agree upon the interpretation to be given, under existing circumstances, to the convention of the 31st of October, they have resolved to adopt for the future a separate and independent action. The Commander of the Spanish forces will at once take the necessary steps to re-embark his forces. The French army w.ll concentrate in Pasoancho as soon as the Spanish troops have passed that position, which will probably be on the 20th April, and at once commence operations." Thus it would seem that the convention of London has been declared a dead letter by the Commis sioners. Have they power to do this? It has long been evident that no unanimity of action be tween the Commissioners of the three Powers was to be expected, for, while Sir C. Wyke and General Prim were resolute in supporting the present party, it was well known that M. de Saligni and Admiral de la Graviere were fully convinced of the impolicy of such a course. As long, however, as the French Commissioners thought there was a chance of the Juarez Government being brought to reason, they seem to have deferred to the opinion of their colleagues; they even went so far as to sign the preliminaries, although it is known that they did so reluctantly, and with the full persuasion that Juarez, from his innate obstinacy, would never be brought to consent to anything that savoured of in tervention. The publication of the law of the 25th of January, declaring "an armed invasion of the Republic by strangers without a declaration of war on the part of the nation to whom they belonged" to be an act of piracy punishable with death, which was avowedly aimed at the allied forces then recently disembarked at Vera Cruz, and which was promulgated throughout the Republic within a week after holding out the olive branch to three such Powers as England, France, and Spain. But when, after the signature of the preliminaries, deemed by many the first step towards a pacific solution, we find the same party exacting contribution upon con tribution, treating every representation made to them upon the subject by Baron Wagner with studied insolence and contempt, and finally shooting, almost within sight of the French lines, General Robles, a man universally respected, who had been received under the special protection of France, and whose only crime consisted in the endeavour, during the existence of an armistice, to make his way down to the lines of the allies, it certainly became the general opinion here that fur. ther forbearance was out of place. Of course, a Government which never kept faith with any one is loud in its complaints of the French Commissioners, and the native press is hurling denunciations of vengeance against the French, who, now that they are deserted by the English and Spaniards, are to be swallowed up in a little. less than no time. If big words were big guns, the Zouaves, Chasseurs d'Afrique, and the rest of the French force might well have cause to tretfible. Zaragoza, in a proclamation to his soldiers, denounces the Emperor as an usurper, whose downfall is to be brought about by the Mexican braves under his command.. We, who for years past have been accustomed to this vapouring and boasting, know the value to be attached to such language. The Spaniards are furious at the conduct of Prim, whom they openly accuse of betraying the interests of his country; and foreigners generally are at a loss to understand how any two gentlemen could have deluded themselves with the hope of bringing about a satisfactory arrangement with a party who have violated every engagement, for feited the confidence or the country, and who are not in a position to offer guarantees for the future. So long as there was Church property to be divided Juarez and his party had shoals of edherents, but that feat accomplished, their partisans have been gradually falling off until they represent a small and certainly not a vary respectable minority. England, from all accounts, has never taken up the Mexican question con more. She appears to have entered into the convention of Oct. 31 a contre aeur. If France is willing to undertake this matter single handed, why not let her do so? She would certainly be entitled to our best thanks for such an act of disinterestedness. Any settlement of the Mexican question is better than no settlement at all, and the mere fact of France and England being such close allies is surely a sufficient guarantee that our in terests will not be sacrificed. We have ever found our neighbours valiant foes, but we have never found them faithless allies. The yellow fever is making fearful ravages at Vera Cruz; it has scarcely ever been known so bad. Two of the heads of the French medical staff have fallen victims. By the last accounts three of the officers attached to the 150 Marines left in garrison had been attacked, and one had died. Why leave these 150 men to be sacrificed for no purpose? It is absurd to suppose that they can influence the fate of the. expedition. More men have been sacrificed by a three month s ' res id ence i n t h at pes tif erous regionend of theou l d have Republic t falleno the i n other. than wa o hos e t r i . le march when from one will our home authorities learn wisdom ? APRIL 23, To obtain correct information in Mexico has ever been a matter of great difficulty. At the present moment, when all kinds of reports are circulated for all kinds of objects by the parties in power, it is almost an impossibility, and, although I have taken every means to be rightly informed, yet, narrating events occurring at a distance of 60 leagues, I may fairly claim some little indulgence at the hands of your readers. On the 16th the French Commis sioners issued a proclamation to the Mexican nation, of which the following is a translation : " Mexicans,—We are not here to take part in your dis sensions, but to settle them. We ask every respectable man to join us in the consolidation of order and the regenera tion of your country. To show the sincere spirit of conci liation with which we are animated, we first addressed our selves to the Government, against which we had serious causes of complaint. We begged of it to accept our aid in establishing a state of things which would prevent these distant expeditions, which interrupt commerce and disturb the course of relations, which might be so advantageous to Europe and your own country. The Mexican Government replied to our moderation by measures which we could never approve, and which the civilised world would have re proached us for sanctioning with our presence. Between this Government and ourselves war has been declared. But we do not confound the Mexican people with an oppressive and violent minority. The Mexican people have a right to our sympathies ; they have only to show themselves worthy of them. We appeal to all those who have confidence ix our intervention, to whatever party they may belong. " No enlightened man will believe that a Government elected by the suffrages of one of the most liberal nations of Europe would ever think of restoring ancient abuses and institutions not of this century. " We desire equal justice to all, and that this justice should not be imposed by our arms. The Mexican people ought to be the chief instrument in its own regeneration. Our only object is to inspire the honest and peaceable per- Von of the inhabitants—that is to say, nine-tenths of the Population,_ with courage to make known its wishes. 'lf the thee lican round usxnenl nation remains inert, if it does not understand give cpportunity we offer it, if it does not by its own efforts a , practical meaning to our support, it is then evident that we have to do is to attend to those interests which which are contemplated by the convention of London. will !not retire. Let who have been but too long divided rally madmen their hands are the destinies of Mexico.

A messenger was at once despatched to General Lorencez, then at Cordova, informing him of the circumstance. A body of Zouaves was immediately marched in the direction of Orizaba. On their way they were met by a small detachment, forming a part of the advanced guard of the Mexican army, and fired upon. The Zouaves, who had received strict orders not to fire, dispersed to the right and left. The Mexicans, mistaking the dispersion for flight, raised a shout of victory, which was checked, however, in a very few minutes by the said Zouaves appearing in their rear, coming at them with fixed bayonets. It is s.operfluous to add that the Mexicans at once laid down their arms, and were all made prisoners, without so much as a shot being fired or a wound inflicted. Zaragoza, informed of the fact, at once retreated to Aculzingo, and the French took quiet possession of Orizaba, where they were received with every de monstration of joy by the inhabitants, who at once placed theinselves under French protection. Zara goza, in a despatch to his Government, taxes the French General with a breach of faith in leaving a guard to watch over his sick. We have the assur ance of Gen. Lorencez that such was not the case, and this is confirmed by some English gentlemen present in Orizaba at the time, who assert that the Zonaves were not sent for until Zaragoza had re fused to guarantee the safety of the French sick, The version I have given you I believe to be cor rect in every particular. APRIL 28. The Government have issued a decree compelling every male between the ages of 16 and 60 to take up arms, upon pain of being declared traitors, and the instructions forwarded to the different Governors authorise them to seize for the benefit of the State all private property, should their exigencies require it. These last may be productive of much mischief. As for the decree, no one pays the least attention to it, and if the Government intend to enforce it their troops will be fully occupied in shooting the rest of the population. The National Guard was mustered yesterday; it consisted of less than a thousand men, not 43 of whom were armed. Every possible means is being tried to infuse some little enthusiasm into the masses. The papers and corners of streets teem with the most heart -stirring proclamations, calling ugon the people to take up , arms in defence of their homes and country; and a stranger, judging from these effusions, would suppose the country to be in a state of patriotic excitement not to be restrained. How different from the plain unvarnished truth I Scarcely a volunteer is to be found, and the only is by a forced con smceriapnts of recruiting ion.poorwrettchhe aresamrye dragged from their families and homes, and of course desert on the first opportunity. Zaragoza's force has already virtually ceased to exist. Enthusiasm there is none, except for intervention, and that can only be expressed in private—it is death even to broach the subject iu public. The nation is wearied out, thoroughly ex hausted ; all it asks for is peace and quiet, and I of Otaheite, or any on these verily believe it would ba il with acclamation the Emperor w of o woulda the confer blessings upon it. K As for. the female part o f the p o pulation, and they h Chinin are no bad exponents :of public opinion, there is scarcely one who is not anxiously looking forward to the advent of these so-called hated French. A provisional Government established, and that Go vernment under the 'protection of a foreign force, ' people will then be able to express their opinions freely. To suppose that the present Congress is the result of a free expression of opinion is absurd. It is composed entirely of Democrats, when certainly one-third of the population are Conservatives. Does any one suppose that Mexico, Puebla, Guadalajara, and other strongholds of the Conservative party, would not have returned members of that way of thinking had they dared? THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. THE FIRST SHILLING DAY. Great interest and curiosity were felt yesterday morning respecting the attendance on the first shilling-day at the International Exhibition, and many bets were decided by the returns from the va rious turn-tables. At about a quarter to 10 o'clock, and previous to the opening of the doors, it seemed as if the rush was going to be a great one, as the various entrances were blocked by impatient crowds, and a fierce struggle for admission took place ; this however, lasted but a very few minutes. The first party admitted consisted of 100 boys from the Duke of York's School, and the second of 40 from St. Luke's School, Chelsea, both parties having been presented with tickets by Sir W. Dilke. Various schools followed, franked by the liberality of indi viduals, until about half-past 11, when the various omnibuses began to unload their freights, and the general company to fill the building. At 1 o'clock 13,990 entries on payment were registered, and at 3 o'clock 18,689, against 18,400, the whole number admitted on the first is. day at the Exhibition of 1851. It is to be supposed that the turn-tables gave correct returns ; but we must say, having attended the Exhibition every day since its opening, we were very much struck with the seeming inadequacy of those numbers, as compared with the appearance of the building inside. At 2 o'clock every court and gallery seemed to be thronged, and even rather re mote places were filled with promenaders. In the eastern annexe, the entrance to which has been open since Friday last notwithstanding astatement which has appeared to the contrary, we observed young people crowd, three or four deep, round Messrs. Wotherspoon's tastefully arranged case of lozenges and comfits, and if the regulations of the place per mitted sale, no doubt an immense trade would have more mae been done at this p o p u l ar an d tempting stand. The same retiredy b locality,said of where the we Processw were r e stoppedC o u r t , bya still the numbers of persons who anxiously watched the la bours of Mr. Reynolds, the pipe-maker, the process of preparing the British calumet being watched with quite as much interest as if it had been the polishing of the Koh-i-Noor. The galleries appeared to be densely thronged, and every point at which anything special was to be seen was completely blocked up. The 5 o'clock returns gave 24,553, but even this did not satisfy our surmise, as our strong impression, fortified by the opinion of every policeman and official in the building, was that there were then at least 35,000 scattered over the various parts of the interior. We hope we were mistaken, and that the returns are to be relied on, but there certainly would have been a possibility of persons getting in at more than one place where turnstiles were not. Our mentioning these circumstances will, we trust, lead to increased vigilance respecting the admissions, and to means being taken to shut up all irregular modes of entrance, if any such should exist. Mr. Spielmanu's Bureau de Change opened early, and was of immense use, not only to those who wanted foreign money changed and to pay for it, but to others also who wanted change for sovereigns and who were not required to pay anything for the difficulty having a b c e c e o n m m o d intimated ation to T i‘, h i e r s ' p c h i e a , n m g a e n " n that gentleman obligingly brought down about £3,000 to the building, chiefly in silver, and gave change freely to every one who asked. At the most crowded period of the day's attendance a ludicreus instance occurred of the want of regulation or order in the arrange ment of the musical performances. The Messrs. Dis tin, probably thinking the first shilling day a favour able moment for exhibiting the qualities of their newly invented " Bombards," had arranged a regu lar little concert, to be led by a pianoforte, and t o come off under the western dome. Scarcely how ever had the musicians commenced their intro ductory movement, when bray, i n o pposition, to when a g rea t organ close at hand set m t up a the inamense alarm of the large company which had. ass embled round the horn players. The chie f bombard replied with equal vigour, and the con test' was kept up between these two Titans of the musical world, until at last all the company ran, away, and the platform was left clear to the belli gerents. We cannot tell how long the strife lasted but it was going on when we left at five o'clock, the musicians seeming to be quite unconscious that they had long before banished every one but them selves, _ Amongst the events to come off in connexion with the Exhibition may be mentioned theconversaziones arranged to take place on Tuesdays and Fridays, at the Kensington Museum, irrespective of the fete arranged at the same place for Friday next. It is also rumoured that the scientific bodies of Paris contemplate giving a fete of great splendour and magnitude in that city, to which the royal com• missioners and all the jurors are to be invited, Performancfs on Foster and Andrews' organ are arranged for Wednesday and Saturday next, in the course of which Mr. Chipp will play " God pre serve the Emperor." There was a good deal of scrambling and diffi culty at the close of the day in obtaining cabs and omnibuses, although, perhaps, not so much as had been expected. The fact was that a good deal of extra strength had been put on, whilst the crowd was less than tlfe anticipation. Thfs, hovieerer, must not be taken as an unfavourable omen, as invariably on first days, like•that of the first shilling day at the Exhibition, everybody stays away in ordefthat everybody else may have room, exactly what hap pens on the first night of the pantomime, or the first dividend day at the Bank of England, when the few knowing ones, regardless of the caution printed on their papers, step in and get their money without any trouble. The " people" have not yet begun to come to the Exhibition, nor will they, perhaps, commence their arrangements for doing so until after the Derby, which now fills all their heads. There area hundred thousand little boys in London who would not miss the roadside spectacle of the " coming home" for all the Exhibi tions in the world, and to these we must add the 50,000 grown-up folks who have bets great and small on the event, and whose heads are much more full of " The Marquis" than of the Koh-i-Noor. -When the race is over and all the money has been lost and won, then will the public interest be turned upon the Exhibition, and the attendance will' be seen to increase daily. As, by that time, all possi ble.means of approach should be made known and properly organised, the great assistance which may be obtained from 4 ' The silent highway" must not be forgotten. The immense majority of the work ing classes of London reside either eastward of Lon don-bridge, in the City, or, on the Surrey side, in Bermondsey, Southwark, or Lambeth. For all these the penny boats will form a cheap, rapid, and plea sant mode of reaching the Exhibition. Let them ship at' their respective piers, and land at the Cado gan-piers, Chelsea, and they will then have exactly seven minutes' moderate walking to reach the build- ing. The commissioners are, we believe, endea vouring to arrange for a system of express boats, and if they succeed, 20,000 visitors might be carried westwards daily between the first despatch and an early hour in the afternoon. It will be necessary, however, to place a policeman on each pier to ensure the safety of the passengers, as at present the land ing and taking on board is performed in the most reckless manner at all the landing places along the river. We have been requested to call attention to the fact that numerous articles of jewellery, gold, &c., which have been foundand deposited with the police still remain unclaimed by their owners. The number of visitors yesterday was as follows —Season tickets, 3,875 ; on payment, 22,115 ; total, 25,990. Amongst those present were the Princess Mary, the Duke of Cambridge, and the Hon. E. Gladstone. THE NAVY. The works connected with the construction of the iron frigate Achilles, 51, building at Chatham, are rapidly advancing, and nearly the whole of the iron ribs, answering to the timbers in a wooden vessel, are in their place. There is still a want of both angle, bulkhead, and plate iron, the deliveries from the contractors not keeping pace with the require ments. The large sternpost, ono of the largest forgings ever prepared in this country, has been forged by an eminent firm in the north, but it was yesterday announced in the dockyard that the officials appointed by the Admiralty had con demned the sternpost in consequence of the dis covery of a serious flaw in the iron in an important part. This will cause a considerable loss of time, as several months will elapse before another equally large sternpost can be prepared. In consequence of the factory at the eastern end of the yard not being completed some portion of the machinery for preparing the plates for the Royal Oak has been fixed in the factory in which the workmen on the Achilles are employed. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander F. D. Rich, additional, to the Victory, for service in the Black Prince; Edward M'Sorley, surgeon, to the Cor morant; James Thomson, assist.-surgeon, additional, to the Fisgard ; W. H. C. Pooke has been nomi nated to a naval cadetship; George R. Beer, in the Hawke, for the Advice, confirmed as 2d-class assist.- engineer ; and William Hair, in the Magpie, con firmed as 2d-class assist.-engineer. THE A.IIIIIY. The following changes have taken place at Alder shott during the last week :--The I and K batte ries, Royal Artillery, under the respective com mands of Major Pastoe and Col. Shakespear, arrived from Hillsea on Wednesday, and are quar tered under canvas near the Permanent barracks. The 4th squadron of the 13th Hussars, under the command of Capt. Gardner, arrived from Manches ter on Thursday, and are quartered in E and F lines, North camp. The 9th Lancers, commanded by Lieut.-Col. Drysdale, C. 8., left the South Cavalry barracks on the same day, and have gone under canvas. On Friday a squadron of the 6th Dragoon Guards, under the command of Major Bott, arrived from Dorchester, and on the following day the headquarters and three other squadrons, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Sawyer, arrived. The regiment which is commanded by Col. Jones C. 8., is quartered in the South Cavalry barracks. 7, The 60th Regiment (Rifles) were officially in spected yesterday morning on Southsea-common , Portsmouth, by Major-General Lord W. Paulet, C.B. They went through the usual evolutions of At the an inspection in a very creditable manner. conclusion his lordship addressed the regiment.

VOLUNTEER FIELD-DAY.—OR Whit-N.ollday, June 9, a volunteer field day and sham fight, in which several of the metropolitan and suburban corps will take part, will be held in the grounds of Lord Cowper, near Hertford. In addition to the local corps, which are expected to muster very strongly on the occasion, the following corps from London have already agreed to be present :-2d or South Middlesex, under the command of Lord Ranelagh ; the 9th, or West Middlesex, Lord Rad stock ; 11th Middlesex (St. George's) Rifles, Lieut.- Colonel Lindsay ; and the Tower Hamlets. The field-day has been organised by Lord Ranelagh. On the same day the 22d Middlesex (Queen's West minster) Rifles will also proceed to Bushy Park for a field-day. LONDON SCOTTISH. —At Richmond, on Saturday last, as Colonel M'Murdo was riding from the park he came up to Captain Page, adjutant of the London Scottish, and said in a loud tone, heard by many standing near him, " Please take an oppor tunity before dismissing the London Scottish, of telling them that I am glad to have had them under my command to-day. I am always proud to command them, they are so steady, so easily handled, and so soldierlike. That is my opinion, and the opinion of every soldier who sees them." LONDON ARTILLERY BRIGADE.—This new and important corps is rapidly progressing, and it is understood the drills will shortly commence. A superior brass band of upwards of 40 performers has been formed, under the auspices of Mr. Boose (the bandmaster of the Royal Horse Guards), and having the efficient aid, as director, of Mr. Tidswell, a talented member of that band. Altogether the corps offers great advantages, and under the dis tinguished military patronage which it has re ceived there can be no doubt of its taking a very high position in the volunteer organisation. The uniform appears of a most soldierlike and service able character. THE ROYAL COMMISSION AND THE VOLUNTEERS. The following return, embodying a series of 32 questions, has been addressed, by order of the Royal Commission appointed at the request of Parliament, to the commanding officers of the Volunteer regi ments in the kingdom. The return is accompanied by a circular from the War Office, requesting that the return may be duly filled up, and as soon as possible sent back to the secretary of the Royal Commission at the War Office : _ "1. - What is the authorised establishment of the corps ? 2.

A CRIME PREVENTED —A correspondent writes from Norfolk, Virginia, immediately after the surrender of the place, "We are just in time to prevent another crime of slavery. The Nofolk Day-book, of Saturday, now in my hands, has the following advertisement in its columns : Sale of flee blacks for city taxes.— Collector's-ottice, Nor folk, May 6, 1862,—Under the provisions of an ordinance th e ir directing the sale o f all free blacks who fail to pa c ity taxes, I shall , befo r e t he doo r of the City Ha y 11, on Monday, May 12, at 12 m., sell the following-named per sons for the term specified by said ordinance.

The Japanese ambassadors and suite, acslom4 pulled by Mr. Macdonald, yesterday paid a hurrjed visit to Portsmouth Dockyard. The distinguished party arrived at the Landport railway station by early morning train from London. From the sta tion the Ambassadors proceeded to the dockyard, and called upon V ice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce, Nava l C omm ander-in-Chief, at his residence e tho Admiralty-house. Leaving the Admiralty-ha -05 e , accompanied by Flag-Lieutenant Suttie, the An -, bassadors visited the Royal Sovereign, now con- , verting to a shield ship on Capt. Coles's principle, in which they appeared to take much interest, taking copious notes, and spending some time in looking over the vessel. The Black Prince, iron frigate, was next visited, and a considerable stay made on board, every part of the shil; being gone through, and numberless queries put through the interpreter to Mr. Tucker, the chief engineer ,of the ship, and other officers who attended upon tlae party in their visit round the ship. While the Ambassad ors were enga ged in their inspection of the frigate, Rear-Admiral George Grey, the supet r tendent of th e d oc k yar d, who had been engag ed in an official inspection afloat, arr ived ou board , an d was introduced by Mr. Macdonald. Captain R. S. Hewlett, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Ex. ,-. ell ent, and Capt. A. Powell, C.8.,0f her Majesty's shi p . D efence, were also introduced at the same time. The v,.'sit to the Black Prince being concluded, the ship ba sin and No 1 dock were visited, as was the ropery' a fter which the party left the dockyard and proceeded to Dent's George Hotel, Portsmouth, to luncheon. The 53d Regiment furnished a guard of honour, under the command of Major Hopkins, with the band and colours of the regiment, the band playing a selection of music during the time of their stay at the hotel. Immediately after thecom Ambassa dors' arrival, Lo rd W. Paulet, C. 8., manding the garrison and t he south-west district, accompa nied by his staff, c alled officially and was introduced to their excellencies by Mr. Macdonald. After luncheon the party again proceeded to the dockyard. in carriages from Dent's Hotel, and on arrival were received by Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, and conducted to the North-Wall landing -steps to em bark for her Majesty's ship Excellent. Previous to embarking. however, their attention was called to the hydraulic cranes recently erected on the north wall of the steam basin, one of which hed been tested. on Saturday, and had six tons of iron ballast still attached to the chain. With the working of this beautiful piece of machinery, and its prompt and ready action in answer to the motion of the lever, the whole party appeared delighted. On the bed-plates being removed, exposing to view the mechanism underneath, their interest was still more excited, and one of the ambassadors observed that a similar crane bad been shown to them in Liverpool but its working and principle had not been so clearly explained to them. After concluding their inspec tion of the hydraulic crane, the ambassadorsfm barked in the Port Admiral's barge, the suiol lowing in the flagship's boats , a nd went on board • the Excellent gunnery ship , wh ere they were re ceived by Capt. R. S. Hewlett , C. 8., Commander Herbert, the officers of the ship, and a guard of honour of the Royal Marine Light infantry. After inspecting the ship a portion of the crew were sent to quarters, and practice was commenced at various ranges with shot and shell with guns of various calibres, both Armstrong and smooth bore. Thu practice, as is always the case whe n this ship's con- bes men are at the guns, was admirable. At the clusion of their visit to the Excellent, the ambassa dors returned to the dockyard under a salute of 21 guns, and proceeded to the railway station, return ing to London by the 4 15 p.m. train. _a-7‘_ COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH ITALY; A report on this subject, containing and endorsing the recommendations and suggestions of various commercial firms of Liverpool, was read at the meet ing of the council of the Liverpool Chamber of Com merce yesterday. It stated that the export duty was a matter of great complaint on the part of firms engaged in the sulphur trade, and acted very materially against the consumption of the article in England, inasmuch as Spanish arid other pyi tes, containing a large quantity of sulphur, could be im ported at less cost. It was recommended that the export duty should be repealed, or the duty very considerably reduced. Sudden alterations in the duty were also complained of, as they interfert,d with the business, which was chiefly conducted by contracts. It was suggested that if any duty was contiDued, sufficient notice of alteration should be given to the merchants. It was also suggested that the duty should be collected as soon as the brimstone was re ceived at the coast, and that warehouses and sheds should be established at the shipping ports for the reception of the brimstone after it had been bought. With regard lo the export duty on olive oil, the document stated that the treaty now being arranged between France and Italy provided for an advanta-, geous adjustment of this duty, and the committee therefore admitted that Great Britain should have' the same advantages as other nations. With respect to the export duties on alkalies, it appeared that the Alkali Association of Lancashire a nd Cheshire had submitted a memorandum to the effect that as suo i st of the various articles might be considered as sole used in the manufacture of other articles, and ther fore did not enter into immediate consumption, their abolition would doubly benefit the Italian people ; tlostt,hbeyirsiipply a w n i d t 11 2 d a y t lbeys increasingindispe n se thv manufactures;ing them export of sulphur and sulphur or es from Sicily and Tuscany; these p roductions being largely used in the alkali manufacture.

The Perseveranza of Milan publishes a letter containing the particulars of the outrage cam. witted on Bishop Zinelli, of Treviso, already men• tioned by telegram. It will be remembered that Mgr. Zinelli was promoted to his bishopric in consequence of the strong language against Italy which he used a few months ago in his sera mons in the Cathedral of St. Mark, which led to several disturbances, and to the clearing of the church by the military. The correspondent of the Perseveranza says " On the occasion of the installation of the ile vt bishop of Treviso, all the upper classes of the to lvrt absented themselves in obedience to a proclam aticles ioa issued by the Nationcl Committee.
