Whenever there is a Grand Ministerial• Crisis, or other Political or Spirting excitement, the gentle men or other employes of the Post Office, either in town or country, or it may be in both, take an especial fancy to The Sun, without our leave, or that of our valued Subscribers, and thereby help themselves to property not their own. Now, as these curiosity robberies are not to Our taste, nor to that of our Subscribers, we hereby give notice of a Reward of Twenty Pounds to be paid down upon the conviction of any offender who has robbed or pilfered, or taken to himself a copy of The. Sun newspaper addressed to a Subscriber or. Subscribers, either through the agency of the Post Office or by private pilfering. SUN OFFICE, 112, Strand, 4th April, 1859. The town is filled with vague rumours. The clubs are in a state of extraordinary agitation. Every person considers it Lord DEBBY'S duty to act in accordance with his own individual wishes and feelings, and has no hesitation in saying that such a course will be adopted. The Premier has, however, strictly preserved his secret. Not the slightest hint has been suffered to ooze forth re specting the Ministerial intentions. It would be highly disrespectful to both Houses of Parliament to give any intimation to others, before they re ceived full and complete information respecting the line of policy to be pursued, and the causes therefor. The very natural anxiety must there fore be subdued until the proper time arrives, which will not be much longer deferred. This `evening the mystery will be dispelled; the cur tain duly lifted; and. the comparative accuracy of the various speculations fully ascertained. We still adhere to the opinion that we expressed on Saturday, that Lord DEBBY will not resign. It is due to his SOVEREIGN', to the people, to his followers, and himself, that he should not do so without first giving an ample opportunity of re spending to a suitable appeal, and showing how far it sympathises with the unnatural coalition formed for the sole purpose of substituting a different set of men for those who now occupy the Treasury benches, without reference to the best interests of the country or to their own political reputations. Nay, more, with the certain effect of shelving the question of reform for the present, and perhaps for many successive years. If his sole object were to avenge himself on his political opponents, to teach them the painful but salutary lesson, that there are circumstances under which a temporary triumph may be more disastrous even than a defeat, he would give the conspirators rope enough and let them play out their game. They would speedily discover the folly of which they had been guilty, and see that they had dis placed the best Government that could be formed in the present state of the House of Commons ; and cui bono with what object or purpose ? simply that Lord JOHN RUSSELL might hold office for a few short weeks, or possibly months, and that it might be rendered apparent to the world how wide apart are the opinions of the red tapist Whigs, and of the really independent Liberals, whom they have the vanity to class amongst their followers (!) and supporters (!) and to suppose that they can control and direct their votes as they think proper. This pleasing delu sion would however speedily be dispelled, and they would soon discover how totally impossible it was to stand against a compact body of 273 members rendering a general, cordial support to the policy of Lord DERBY ; nor, after what has so recently occurred, could much forbearance be anticipated, and Lord JOHN, or his rival the noble member for Tiverton, whichever might " win the toss" for first place, would soon be compelled to relinquish office after a term dwindled to the shortest span. But Lord DERBY is too patriotic to adopt such a course, however tempting it might be. He well knows that the peace and tranquillity of Europe depend on having a firm but conciliating hand directing the helm of Foreign Affairs. All that has been achieved would be lost, what was done would be undone, and all the various complications that had been so skilfully disposed of—the tangled webs so completely un ravelled—would be restored to their original posi tions. Fresji difficulties would spring up, "New Alps on / Alps arise ;" and War would be as imminent as it was when the rejection of the odious Conspiracy Bill drove Lords PALMER STON, CLARENDON, and their noble and right hon. colleagues from office. We feel to the full extent the great incon venience attending on a dissolution at this period of the year. We know that two years since Lord PAL3iERSTON made it the excuse for doing nothing for the remainder of the Session, and that although it took place a month earlier than the present time. But we would encounter all this inconvenience, the general interruption of business, and the turmoil attendant on a general election, rather than there should be an immediate resignation of Ministers.

There will neither be an immediate resigna tion nor a dissolution: A few short weeks will suffice to pass not only the measures absolutely in dispensable, but many of those which are accepted by members of all parties, and the advantages whereof are ‘,fully recognised by the country. Keen, indeed, must be the appetency for office, parching the thirst for patronage, which could so completely disregard the•best interests of the nation as to cast any fac tious opposition in the way of such a course, should Lord PALMERSTON and Lord JOHN, notwithstanding the conflicting views to which they have given ex pression, it will set the crowning seal to the de struction of the slender remains of their political reputations. We look now with no little interest to the course which will be taken by the leaders of the advanced Liberals. Amongst them we have always reckoned the honourable members for Birmingham and Ash ton, the former of whom has had the cause of Radical Reform in his hands during the whole autumn and till the meeting of Parliament. Mr. Fox also, of Oldham, is prominently a people's man, and his speech in the great debate was in comparably the best which was made for the so frequently praised working classes ; and the honourable member for Bristol has a claim to a foremost place amongst the advocates of popular reforms. What will all these gentlemen, and per haps some others who might be mentioned, do, at the present junctare, to justify their course on the last division of . Thursday night ? We are bound to assume that they had reasons of overwhelming importance for their absence from the division on Mr. WYLD'S motion. We do not presume to doubt this. Several of them are men whose sincerity on the particular reform of the Ballot ought to admit of no question ;, but their judgment has yet to be vindicated by the development of their policy. Losing to win is fair play, whether in games of amuse ment or the graver games of politics or war. The winning, however, is the only justification of the temporary sacrifice, and we now wait to see the great gain to accrue from the Crimean policy of withholding support when a brave officer was striving to carry a political Redan. That the enemy of the hour should be strengthened by such deser tions from the Liberal ranks as Lord JoHN Rrs- SELLL, Lord PALMERSTON, Sir G. C. LEWIS, Sir CHARLES WOOD, Sir GEORGE GREY, Mr. R. LOWE, Mr. M. T. BAINES, Mr. J. WILSON, and Mr. SMITH, can excite no surprise. These noblemen and gentle men have of late always ratted on every question of earnest and real reform ; according as they were in or out of office, they and the Tories have always been ready to help each other against the people. This whole knot, of old stagers as most of them are, ought now to be laid aside by the country—as gover nors of it we mean. They might be very useful, from their experience, to criticise, and so improve the measures of other men up to the wants and demands of the present day ; but as originators of measures for the people, they are but fossils of the Old Reform Bill Era ; their minds can never get out of the ruts of their famous Anno Domini eighteen hun dred and thirty-two. Fine fellows some of them no doubt, in their time; so were the huge ante_ deluvians, whose shapes -and forms mingle with the realities of the Crystal Palace, We accomplish far greater things now, however, by the less por tentous creatures of the age to which we belong, and we fear that it is only by leaving our fossil friends to their fate, and throwing ourselves upon those whom the present day has adapted to itself, that we shall achieve anything worth doing. That the acknowledged leaders of Radical Re form should, however, desert while the antiquated Reformers did worse than desert—this is tlut.eourse which has yet to be justified by results. If we find that they have made a compiict, or only an honourable engagement with the worn-out Whigs, which will issue in laying. on the table of the House and pushing through all its stages a Reform Bill worthy of. Reformers, then we shall acquit them— acquit them heartily and gladly. We shall only wish that they had contrived to let old and un flinching Reformers, like ourselves, know before hand, in the confidence of those who wish for the general support of the independent press, the ex cellent reasons they had for preferring co-operation with Old Whigs, and burking for a time their own views. But if we find that, although professedly thorough-going Liberals, they could sell themselves to those who have tricked us so often ; that they could make speeches of the most reticent, moderate, guarded character ; that they could be silent about the Ballot while Tories were pushing them upon it ; that they could speak and act as if Mr. HAYTER were pulling their coat tails all the time they were talking or making motions—if, in a word, we find that they have served Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the old family clique, to be jilted with fair words and left in the lurch at last, what shall we think of their wisdom ? We shall not affect to regret the " untimely division," as those not in the secret have termed it, till we see what BRIGHT and Company have gained for us by entering into a joint-stock concern with RUSSELL and Company. If the Anti-Church rate-Abolition and Anti-ballot )Whigs have given Mr. BRIGHT a bill on liberalism which they will hon our in office, all will be well ; if not, we shall only be able to regret that some who ought to know better have been again caught with Whig chaff. A little time, come what will, must show whether our old friends have sold themselves for nothing or not. If the former, they will most seriously have damaged their position, and destroyed confidence in their leadership. We shall have Lord JOHN RUSSELL boasting on the hustings at Guildhall that he only voted against the ballot when the Birming ham and Bristol members ran away from it ; and not-improbably his—nott al►irking the question, al though he voted wrong, will be well set off by the foil of " old stagers" turning tail when it came to a pinch. We condemn no one, however, at present; we await the pioof of run-a-way wisdom. An admirable snggestion has recently been made by the eminent surgeon, CHARLES HAWKINS, F.R.C.S., with a view to the better expression of the honour and homage with which the memory of JOHN HUNTER is regarded by that great man's profession. This suggestion, it will be understood at once, has sprung out of the project now advanc ing towards its happy realisation—that of erecting a suitable monument to the renowned anatomist. And that project, as will be remembered, arose in its turn out of the discovery of JOHN HUNTER'S remains in an obscure vault under one of our London churches, and the transference therefrom of the mouldering coffin, with all funereal pomp and core . mony, to Westminster Abbey, for the purpose of a final and fitting interment. Now that one of the greatest of England's sons rests at length in that honoured sepulchre down in the old Abbey at Westminster, it is but reasonable, as a sequel to the re-burial of his dust, that the members of the medical profession should desire to give expression to the homage w ith which they cherish the remembrance of his glorious life. As the most distinct evidence of this unanimous feeling on their part, the Sur geons and Physicians of the United Kingdom are at once beet upon raising a public statue in honour of Joniv HUNTER. Whereupon, while the subscrip tions are pouring in to swell the fund.; raised for the erection of the proposed monument, Mr. HAW KINS interposes with his suggestion between• the memory of . HUNTER and the unanimous and enthusiastic respect entertained towards that memory by the members of the medical pro fession. That profession, Mr. HAWKINS re minds us, numbers at the present moment some 20,000 members in all —surgeons and physicians. A guinea . from each of these members would fur nish, of course, according to COCKER, a fund of just £21,000. An amount sufficient, as Mr. HAWKINS observes, to yield in perpetuity two or three fellow ships of £3OO a year, to be held each for two or three years by successful competitors according to a periodical. award of the College of Surgeons. This suggestion we have already spoken as, to our thinking, a really admirable one. It is, to our mind, especially so, because at once and quite obviously very feasible. Where is there a member of the medical profession who would not delight to give his guinea in honour of the greatest man who ever adorned its annals —more especially when the sum thus collected would be applied to the material advantage of the profession itself—to its living advantage year after year, generation after generation. Instead of ossi fying this homage to the great man's memory into a colossal statue carved in granite, the profession would be securing to itself the boon of these bene ficent fellowships. It is only where Mr. HAWKINS rejects the notion altogether of raising the proposed statute of HUN TER that we cannot go with him in his proposition. To our thinking, the original design of the com mittee, and his own novel and most ingenious sug gestion, appear in no way whatever incompatible. Supposing, for example, that the " guinea a-piece," as proposed, brought together this noble fund of £2o,ooo—the first .yeaifs interest upon this would, of itself, be quite sufficient to liquidate the ex penses incurred in the raising of the monument originally designed to be erected in HUNTER'S honour somewhere in the metropolis. So that the sub scriptions would be collected., together upon an honourable understanding that the ultimate employ ment of the funds in the furnishing of these fellow ships would commence with the second year after the £20,000 had been collected. The first year's in come resulting from th a t ca pit a l being applied to the purpose at first intended, that of raising in a suitable position in the capital of the empire a statue of JouN HUNTER—carved or cast in that illustrious man's honour at the instance of the members of his eminent profession. To the medical men of the United Kingdom we would most earnestly commond this notion of blending the original design of the Committee with Mr. CHARLES HAWKINS' really admirable and perfectly feasible proposition. The realisation of a project in every respect so noble and bonificent would be an honour at once to the memory of HUNTER, and to the members of his Profession ; and it would be an honour, we may add, worthy of HUNTER and of the Profession.. LYCEUM THEATRE. Mr. Falconer's new play, "Francesca," will not fail to promote his literary reputation. The scene is laid in Venice during the seventeenth century, and the story is that of a lady, young, high-born, and beautiful, who, being basely calumniated by another woman, and cruelly deserted in consequence by her lover, preserves the sweetness of her nature untainted amid all her trials and temptations, repay ing her enemies with kindness, and magnanimously preserving the life of the man who had so heartlessly abandoned her. The fervour, purity, and tenderness of her love are brought into strong dramatic con trast with the fierce and scathing hatred which burns in the heart of her father, who views 'his daughter's slanderers with the deadliest animosity, and is ravenous for revenge. The plays wants rapidity of action ; the plot moves too slowly, especially in the last act; but this defect may be easily remedied. In all other respects the drama possesses remarkable merit. The characters are vigorously conceived, the incidents ingeniously contrived, and the dialogue exceedingly poe ti ca l , both in sentime n t and, iion. Indeed, the play is well' written throughout, and abounds in fine thoughts, imaged forth with singular grace and felicity of expression. Mrs. Charles Young plays the leading character with a truthfulness and pathos which carry her audience completely with her, and procure for her in all her great scenes the unani mous applause of the spectators. She is effectively supported by Mr. Falconer, who - personates the wronged father, with whom " revenge is virtue." WILLIS'S Rocats.—Mr.. T. Mason Jones, whose oration on Curran we noticed a short time since as a pro mising indication of . a new talent, seems fast settling into a permanent "institution." As yet he has confided himself to four heroeg—Curran, Grattan, Milton, and Swift—all of whom he strongly eulogizes, but though his subjects have been few, his orations have been frequently repeated, and he is clearly acquiring that fame that is only within the reach of exceptional endowments. Hundreds of persons with a decent amount of cramming can write essays on either or all of the four great men just enu mera t e d, an d hi re a room to read them in ; but Mr. T. M. 'Tones is a real orator, not a reader, and therefore he has an attraction of his own. His matter is good, and his form most striking. COAST DEFENCES.—BRIGHTON, Saturday.—Yes terday much curiosity was excited at Brighton by the sight of a number of Royal Artillerymen with their horses about the streets ; and, on inquiry, it was ascertained that they belonged to a detachment which had arrived that morning from Woolwich,.by road, halting at Cuckfield on the pre vious night, in charge of two '4B-pounders, with ammuni tion, for the cavalry barracks. Each gun, weighing 56 cwt., was drawn by 12 horses ; and the entire detachment consisted of 80 men and horses. It is said that these guns are intended as the first instalment of 40, which are to be sent to the barracks, so that Bright on ma y, i n common with other towns on the Sussex coast, be in a position to put itself on the defensive in case of need. The Select Committee of the House of Commons on Military Organisation met on Friday. After taking the evidence of Lord Palmerston, the committee adjourned till Tuesday next at 12 o'clock, when it is expected that his Royal highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of New castle, and Earl Grey, will be examined. The committee, on Friday, in passing the Brighton Bill for a junction with the W es t- en d and Crystal Palace line at Norwood, inserted a clause in the bill compelling the Brighton Company to make such arrangements for the conveyance of the East Kent traffic to the London-bridge and Bricklayers' Arms stations as the Board of Trade may approve, if the East Kent Company desire it. PUBLIC WORKS IN INDIA.--From a return to the House of Lords, published on Saturday, it would ap pear that the gross total amount of money for the construc tion of railroads and other public workS in India, for rais ing which under a guarantee of interest measures have been duly taken, is £32,314,300, the rate of interest being generally 5 per cent., and in a very few cases 41 to 4.1 per cent. The portion of this enor m o us sum o f mone y paid up on the 28th of February last was £20,869,016. The in terest on the capital paid to that date amounted to £1,012,685, and that on debentures to £23,188. Upon the Great Indian Peninsular line the net receipts from the opening, in 1853, to the end of June, 1858 (the latest date of returns) amounted to £99,421, and those on the East India line from 4)&114.4,0A to the 30th of J une , 1858, i n £216 ,261, b WRECK OF THE NORTH SEA, HULL, AND GOTTEN itinG STEAMER.—A telegram was received at. Lloyd' sin th e course of Saturday, announcing the wreck of the North Sea screw steam-ship, which had gone ashore at Holman, on the coast of Scotland. She left Hull on the 27th of last month for Gottenburgh with the mails, her usual complement of pas sengers, and a general cargo of merchandise. She stranded on the night of the 28th, but the passengers, mail, and crow were all saved. It was hoped that she would be got off, but later accounts mention that she fills with water, and appears a complete wreck. Her cargo is all damaged, Her loss will involve a considerable amount. EXPLOSION AT THE FAVERSHAM GUNPOWDER . MILLS.—On Saturday morning last a terrific explosion, which was heard for miles around, took place at the gun powder mills, situated at Ore, near Faversham. The acci dent occurred at 11 o'clock in a portion of the establishment where a considerable amount of gunpowder was stored, but fortunately where no person was at the time employed. Fragments of the building were found at a distance of seve ral miles front the accident, and in the town of Faversham the houses were violently shaken, and the utmost excite ment prevailed. The whole of the surgeons and medical men residing at Faversham, °spring°, &c., drove off to the scene of the accident, and it was feared that a great sacrifice of life had taken place. It is, however, .singularly fortunate that u number of hands generally employed near the spot were at the time away, and we understand that no person wok killed, although a few were slightly injured by the falling of portions of the building. The shock of the ex plosion was distinctly felt at the city of Canterbury, about 10 miles distant. • ACCIDENT TO - WOMB WELIA LIEN. GERIE.—FOUR LIVES LosT.—An awiclent of a singular and distressing character occurred on Friday owning last to Wninhwe Menagerie, which was at the titue crowded with people, in a field at Maes-dre, liolywall, Flintshire.

The period which precedes the Easter vaca tion is, in operatic affairs, proverbially interesting. All excitement is usually in abeyance till Paris has yielded its contingent of stars, and the opera would muster .on the opening night rather as a ceremonial observance—pour e faire acte- de pre sence—than attracted by any lively anticipations of pleasure. In the present instance, however; the first night of the_ season has proved an excep tion to the ordinary rule, the first appearance in. London of the new and much-praised prima donna from St. Petersburg, Mdlle. Lotti di Santa, invest ing the occasion.with an interest of no common description. The perforinance of Verdi's now hacknied opera of "Il Trovatore" would not, under less remarkable circumstances, have attracted so large and brilliant an audience as were assem bled to pronounce on the merits of the new singer. Mdlle. Lctti's appearance is decidedly prepossess ing. She is young, her slim figure is graceful and ladylike ire its bearing, and he r f ea t ures h an d some and capable pf varied expression. To come to the point of importance, she possesses a soprano voice of high range—fresh, pure, and brilliant in quality; and although she has not attained great agility of execution, her intonation is faultlessly correct; and her command of varied expression and tempered force are very considerable. Not withstanding the drawback of manifest nervous ness, the new singer acquitted herself in the aria d'intrata in a manner which seemed atonce to satisfy the audiencpilhat a valu a bl e acqu i s i t i on to Mr. Gye's corps d r etrtistes had been made, and a round of hearty and general applause ratified, as it were, the engagement, and sealed it with the seal of public approval. In further token of favour, and in accordance with a practice which is too warmly demonstrative for this climate, the prima donna was recalled in the intervals between each act. In the last act M dile. Lotti showed herself equal to the call which it makes on energy and power of impas sioned expression both of the singer and the actress of Leonora ; and at the close of the performance she had decidedly improved on the first impression of her merits, favourable as that was, and on her final , summons, at the fall of the curtain, the complete ness of her success was rendered obvious in the emphatic warmth of the applause. Signor Debassini, also newly engaged by Mr. Gye, though already known to the London public as having appeared 'at Her Majesty's , Theatre, will not efface the memory of that tuneful bone of contention, Graziani, in the part of the Conte di Luna. He is, never theless, an artist of distinguished ability, although his vocal powers are on the wane, and is perhaps, from the greater breadth and energy of expression which he throws into the part, a more appropriate representative on the whole of the truculent and ruthless rival of the Trovatore. Mr. Gye may esteem himself fortunate .in having so efficient a tenor to recur to, when stars are unpropitio us , as Signor Neri-Beraldi, w i n great l y advanced 'hiS estimation by his performance of Manrico. He has made marked proeTess since he was last heard in London, his voice having acquired more power, while he exhibits greater skill and freedom in its management. In the air sung by the Trovatore from his place of captivity, "Ah the la morte," Signor Beraldi obtained and fully deserved the honour of an encore. The Azuceita of Madame Nantier Didier was the same admirable combina tion ofvocal:ability and dramatic.skill, instinct with the same thrilling truth to nature and captivating with the same grace and skill of execution which has contributed more especially to render this artist one of the most prized members of Mr. Gye's com pany. For an opening night, to conclude as we commenced, the performance on Saturday was an unusually brilliant affair. The house was crowded, the audience most fashionably composed, and every auspicious token was afforded that the energetic director of the Royal Italian Opera has a prosper ous season before him, and that he takes the field where he is soon to meet a formidable rival (if we may trust prearatory blasts and flourishes), assured of a strong' array 'of patrons and supporters. The Queen's box was occupied by Col. the Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps and . Lady Phipps, Capt. Sayer and Mrs. Sayer and Miss Sayer.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. _ On Saturday evening a new three-act comedy, by Mr. :Stirling Coyne, entitled " Everybody's Friend," was produced at this theatre, and met with decided success. ' The plot is exceedingly simple, and turns mainly on the inconveniences that may arise when family men with family re sponsibilities mind other folk's business rather than their own. Mr. Featherley (Mr. Charles Mathews) has a charming. - wife (Mrs. Ch ar l es Mathews), who has a strong sense of her domestic duties, and likes to be taken. occasionally to Chis wick, but so completely is he absorbed in the affairs of , his _friends • that he cannot spare a moment to lighten her cares or to increase her — pleasures. Hi s ma l e fr i end, Icebrook (Mr. Compton), is deeply in love with a lair widow, Mrs. Swandown (Miss Rey nolds), and, being too bashful to . speak his own mind, is greatly in need of some good soul who will speak it for him. Then his female friend, Mrs. De Boots (Mrs. Wilkins), wife to Maior Wellington De Boots - KMr. Buckstone) owns a beautiful i n f an t, the result o f hi s former clandestine marriage, and wants some kind adviser who will instruct herhow to provide for the cherub without the knowledge of her husband. With these delicate matters on hand, Mr. Featherley has enough to do, but he goes throu,gh his labours manfully. Finding that Major De Boots, in spite of a blustering exterior, is really ,a poltroon, he bullies him into taking charge of the infant, which he pretends is his own, the offspring of a secret amour, and thus provides it with a • home beneath its_ mother's 'Leahithr that Mrs. Swandown is fond of zoological curiosities, he fUrnishes himself with a fine Angola eat, and, assuming the name of Bangles, calls upon the widow, asserting that he has just arrived. from the African coast laden with the precious gift. A position is thus obtained which may be worked for Icebrook's benefit. A little eXplana tion, of course, frees Featherley, from the suspicions brought upon him by his officious conduct, and renders him immaculate in the eyes of his wife and friends. However,' he stands in need not only of exculpation; but of reform, and this is brought about by . Mrs. Swandown, ' who counsels Mrs. Featherley to.exert her fascinating as well as her useful powers, and, instead o f b e i ng contented with the character of a domestic drudge; to essay the effect of a little gaiety. The young wife astounds her negligent husband by suddenly giving a ball, and dazzles him by the beauty of -her appear ance in full dress, while Icebrook makes violent love to her; in accordance with the widow's instructions, and thus to oth er . s ti mu l ants adds the sting of jealousy. , At last Yeatherly finds himself coaxed and driven into domeStie felicity,. and re• solves to abandon his universal friendship. Feather iev, played with admirable " nonchalance"' by Mr. Charles Mathews ; Mrs. Charles;Mathews, as the sighing, neglected wife • Mrs. Wilki ns , as th e hand some and paitly Mrs. Major Do Boots, a " superior woman;" Mr. Buekstone, as the Major himself, completely under the " superiar woman's" thumb, ready to bully, and still mew prompt to be inti midated ; Mr. CatiTtoat, as the awkwardly bashful man ; Miss Reynolos, who gave .point and sparkle to gvelar• word she spoke, made up a most agreeable society.

The following telegrams have been received a Mr. Renter's office PARIS, MONDAY, April 4. The Powers have not yet came to a complete agreement as to the conditions of the Congress. It is said that the French Government has taken fresh steps to procure the admission of Piedmont, of which, however,.there.appears to be no hopes. The Tiedmontese Government is now preparing another expostulatory manifesto against its defini tive exclusion from the Congress. News from Hanover state that the French Ambassador was recently obliged to quit the Theatre Royal in consequence of an anti-French demonstration of the audience. The Royal Family was present at the time. TURIN, APRIL 2 Count Cavour has arrived here, and as a testi mony of the public confidence, an imposing demon stration was [prepared for his reception. A great concourse of people thronged the road, shouting " Viva it Re !" " Vive Cavour !" "Vive l'ltalia !" " Vive Francia 1" Letters from Rome, Florence, and other towns of Italy announce that numerous subscriptions have been opened for the purpose of affording pecuniary assistance to the Sardinian Government, and also that volunteers have been despatched to Piedmont. FRANCE. A private letter received yesterday from Lyons stated that an army of 60,000 men would soon be encamped in the vicinity of that city. A second letter, received this morning from another city, and dated yesterday, corroborates that intelligence. It says that an army of 60,000 men has been ordered to the frontiers of Piedmont, and that this measure was only decided on late last even ing (Friday). The information comes from a general officer, who stated that the order was sent last night to Lyons by telegraph. Should this prove correct, it is no doubt the result of M. Cavour's mission to Paris, and it is remarked that the apparent change of late has been merely to " tranquillise" the English and Prussian Govern ments. PARIS BOURSE, April 2.—The market has been rather heavy ; the settling day for railway shares has passed off quietly. Threes, after having been done at 68f. 50c., declined to 68f. 30c.

AUSTRIA. A letter dated Vienna, March 30, says :—" Yes. terday evening it was related that Sardinia had consented to. disarm, but no official confirmation of the report has been received. Austria, who a few days ago was extremely warlike and intractable, is now pacific and conciliatory, and the sudden change which has come over her is perhaps to be attributed to the attitude recently assumed by Russia. A sus pension of the armaments is even spoken of, and it is probable that this Government would disarm if France and Sardinia would also do so. Austria would hardly object to a change in those parts of the spe cial conventions which give her a right to send troops into the Italian duchies for the maintenance of peace and order, if any other means of keeping the revolutionary party within due bounds could be found. The Austrian and German papers are still arguing whether Sardinia ought or ought not to be admitted to the . Congress, but there is reason to be lieve that the Powers have already agreed to invite all the Italian Powers to send representatives, but merely as consultative members of the august as sembly. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT. The Cunard Royal Mail steamship Arabia has arrived, with advices from New York to the 22d, and Halifax to the 25th ult. She brings 73 pas sengers. On the morning of the 23d there was no sign of the Nova,Seotian at Portland. The President has given way to the exigencies of the Democratic party, and determined to call no extra session of Congress. Six hundred thousand dollars have been ab- stracted from the Treasury of Ohio. The Liberals in Mexico seem to be progressing favourably. At Port-au-Prince the populace had turned against Geffrard, and his downfal is imminent. it was expected at Washington that the grand jury who made a presentment against Mr. Sickles for murder would return a true bill, but so far nothing has been done on the subject. California overland advices state that there has been copious rains in the interior. Business was quiet at New Tel*. The new Canadian tariff was carried through committee with a few alterations, consented to by the Inspector-General. At New York, cotton was unchanged ; middling uplands 121 c. State and Western flour was dull for common, and firm for medium and good grades. Wheat was firm, but quiet. , Corn easier, but more active. Beef, heavy for common, but firm for good; lard, heavy ; butter, steady. Freights to Liverpool, quiet ; stocks, dull, but firm. At New Orleans, on the 21st, cotton was unchanged. THE. GALE OF_P. 72 IDAI'.-FOUNDL% RING OF THREE VESSELS. By the telegraphic returns received at Lloyd's on Saturday, it appears that a strong gale from the south-west swept various points of the coast on Friday until late in 'the evening, and caused a serious amount of mischief. Several losses are re ported, and it is feared tjiat the full extent of damage is not yet ascertained. In 'the course of the night three vessels struck upon Penarth Sands, near Cardiff, and two of them went down. They were the Harriet, bound to Southampton from Newport, with coals ; the Tyro, of Plymouth ; and the Alma, of . Shoreham. The latter was got off after some difficulty, but the two forraer sunk. Providentially, the crews are reported to have been. saved. A Norwegian schooner, called the Soskummeren, from Krageroe to Liverpool, timber laden; was fallen in with, waterlogged and, abandoned, in th Channel, some 12 miles from the South Foreland by the Iron Era, collier screw'steamer'. Nothing has been seen or heard of the crew, and their fat e is uncertain. Th e s t eamer took, derelict in tow, and got her into D over Bar. The brig Betsy, b e l onging to Whitby, is reported to have founde re d on Friday night, sustain ing damage i n going or. The crew were saved. after ver Tees Ba The accounts from the north-western coast state that the wind blew a complete- storm from the south-west, with sleet and rain, the weather being very cold.

Prime Scots, crosses, &c., sold somewhat freely at full quetations—th e top figure being 5s per Blbs, but all other breeds moved off slowly at barely stationary prices. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,860 shorthorns and crosses; from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; from Scotland, 340 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers. There was about an average supply of sheep on offer in fair condition. Prime Downs and half-breeds changed hands somewhat freely at full currenciee. All other breeds moved off slowly at barely late rates to a slight decline, when compared with Monday last. About two-thirds of the sheep were out of the wool, and they changed hands at 8d per 81bs beneath those with full fleeces. There was a alight improvement in the lanib trade com pared with Thursday, last, and prices were supported. About 300 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. The few calves in the market sold without difficulty at very full prices. We had a dull sale for pigs at barely last week's quota tions. • The total imports of foreign stock into L.adon last week were 2,801 head In the corresponding week in 1858°we received 1,620 ; in 1857, 1,194 ; in 1856, 722; in 1855, 534; 185 , 4 1,629; i n 185 3, 3,905; and in 1852, head.

CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on sale in the leading country markets held en Saturday were rather limited, yet all kinds met a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. Fine barley was steady. In other qualities very little was passing. All other produce moved off heavily, at about previous cur rencies. . The various continental markets were steady for wheat and fine barley, on former terms. Otherwise the trade has been tolerably steady. Our New York iadvices bring less activity in the demand for both wheat and flour. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last'week were only moderate. From abroad the imports were rather extensive—viz., 9,850 qrs of wheat, 19,873 barley, 28,668 oats, 2,150 rye, 90 beans, 3 peas, 306 tares, 5,491 linseed, 6,230 rapeseed, 125 sundry seeds, 1,828 sacks and 20 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day from Kent the arrivals of wheat, coast wise and by land carriage, were limited, but the general quality of the supply was good. From Essex, the receipts were very moderate. Although the show of samples was small, there was no life in the demand ; nevertheless, a fair quantity of wheat was disposed of at prices about equal to Monday last. At the close of business a few samples sold at is per quarter less money. We continue to be liberally supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat. A few sales took place in fine red and white qualities at full quotations, but low and middling parcels were very dull, and almost nominal. There was very little inquiry for floating cargoes off Falmouth. Owing to the change in the weather, and the large influx from abroad, barley ruled heavy, and in some instances prices had a drooping tendency, viz., is to 2s per qr. There was a heavy inquiry for malt on rather lower terms. Good sound oats were in fair request at full quotations, but other qualities were a heavy inquiry at barely late rates. We had a steady demand for beans at fully last week's currency. Peas changed hands slowly on former terms. The flour trade was rather flat at previous quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

WOOL MARKET. There is an improved feeling in the demand for most kinds of English wool, and fine qualities are the turn dearer. Foreign and colonial qualities move off slowly, but We have no change to notice in their value. The imports last week were 2,086 bales from Geelong, 997 from Sydney, and 67 from Shanghai. SEEDS. Cloverseed continued in good request, at fully last week's quotations. Linseed has been in improved demand, and prices are on the advan ce . R apeseed is firmer, and held at - extreme rates. In other seeds no material change has taken place. Cakes are dull, but not cheaper.
