Scarcely a day elapses that we do not receive complaints of newspapers missing, being too late, or arriving several posts be hind time. This is an intolerable nuisance to our subscribers, and is, besides, highly prejudicial to ourselves. Where rests the evil ? It is idle to complain, for polite answers and promises avail nothing. Surely Sir Rowland Bill will have some merciful consideration, and endeavour to redress the grievance. It is a double griev ance, for we are made to pay for not send ing the paper, which is often kept back till next morning, which loses a day to our subscribers, who truly say that old news is no news, causing anger rather than benefit. If the General Post-office be not large enough, then extend it, or build another capacious enough for every purpose, be the cost what it may. It will serve for all tune. H e make this suggestion in a spirit of good-will, and hope that good may come of it. Sun Office, April 4, 1860. 4 2 r • 715t5".5.., •ir o s-rt- - THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1860. Another instance is now being afforded, in which the dust of departed genius is receiving from sur vivors the double tribute of a grateful admiration and an affectionate remembrance. Latterly, in cidents of this kind have not been unfrequent. Not but that, at the same time, it should be borne iu re collection, how similar acts of tardy but spontane ous homage have attested repeatedly before now the vitality of the posthumous popularity still apper taining to some long dead and buried celebrity. Illustrations, these, in a more practical form than even the Eleg : .st himself intended that amongst the tombs of the departed, often, in truth and in very deed— " Even iu their ashes live their wonted fires 1" It is not so very long ago that the honoured remains of Sir THOMAS PICTON, who died gloriously on the famous 18th of June, 1815, leading a charge at the battle of Waterloo, were removed from their obscure resting place, for more fitting sepulture under the roof-beams of St. Paul's Cathedral. A similar though a less public testimony of respect was accorded to the disinterred coffin of the celebrated JOHN HUNTER, the greatest of all our great surgeons, and about the first and foremost of the world's most gifted anatomists. Did not the player YOUNG give half-a-crown to the stonemason—who was covering over that grave in Poet's Corner in which stood vright the buried form of the author of " Every Man in his Hu mour"—to chip on the slab with a rude touch or two of his chisel that most eloquent of all tributary epitaphs P " 0 rare BEN JONSUN :" It will be in the recollection of our readers how it came to pass, but a very few years since, that in answer to an earnest and affecting remonstrance in verse, penned by the sympathetic genius of ELIzA COOK—there was raised by public subscription over the hitherto unmarked grave of TinntAs HOOD, in Kensal Green Cemetery ; a monument worthy of the sculptor's art, not unworthy even of the dead poet-humorist's reputation. A kindred appeal has now been recently addressed to the lovers of song in the three kingdoms—in answer to which appeal a memorial is about to be raised in the parish church of St. Anne's, in Dub lin, to the pure fame of FELICIA HEMANs, —the mortal remains of that beloved songtress lying entombed in the vaults of that sacred edifice without any token whatever in the way of appro priate commemoration. To Mr. and Mrs. S. C. HALL belong, in this instance, the merit of having suggested to the admirers of the genius of Mrs. HEMANS the opportunity thus afforded to them of attesting in a substantial form the sincerity of their admiration. As we are solicitous to aid in carrying out the intentions of those whose efforts are be ing now combined for the purpose of raising this testimonial to the memory of FELICIA HEMANS, we conceive that we can hardly do better than repeat here the ipsissinta verba of the appeal issued by the working Committee at Dublin, in the manner fol lowing :—" There are few names," says this appeal, "more honoured in female literature and in the records of wom en than that of Mrs. HEMANS. Her works are read with interest by nearly every one, and her personal character still warmly lives in the memory of many. Yet, strange to say, these feel ings of admiration and respect have not yet found expression in any public testimonial, such as has ' been given to others not more deserving of it than she was—nut more entitled to the love and honour of all classes. Irelend ought not to forget that by her f a th er ' s side, FELICIA I.lE3Lors was, an liishecon2an ; this _fact, stated in her memoir, should surely be recorded in the land which claims h er. e The published Address' then, referring to the remarks which first awakened attention to the forgotten grave of Mrs. HEMANS—rernarks penned jointly by Mr. and Mrs. S. C. HALL in a recent number of the Art Journal--goes on to observe Its follows :—" It has been justly, therefore, alleged as a reproach, by _ ':.,tureh _ e the recent travellers in Ireland , that ,. which entombs the body of FELICIA. HE:..(4l"' there is to be found no public record worthy of 1::er pure fame and lofty genius.' This has suggested. to some of her readers that the most suitable test i monial would be the erection of a memorial window In the chancel of that church which is her earthly resting place—the Parish Church of St. Anne, Dublin. They have formed themselves, therefore, into a committee for the purpose of receiving subscriptions to carry out this project. The execution of the window will be intrusted to first-rate artists. The probable cost will be £200." And the committee add, as they are surely justified to the full in doing, that they "have no doubt that many will feel plea sure in uniting for the object contemplated. They beg it to be understood, that while they do not de sire to limit the subscriptions, they are ready and willing to receive donations of EVEN THE SMALLEST AMOUNT." A list of subscriptions already published, ranging, in the respective amounts contributed, from ss. up to £lO, gives good augury that the required sum will, before long, be realised. To this end, however, the hearty co-operation of the admirers of Mrs.HEMANs'genius is requisite. That co-operation, we doubt not, will be accorded, so that there may almost be realised vsrbatim the glowing picture painted by the hand of KEATS in the 25th stanza of "The Eve of St. Agnes." Realized so far that we might write the opening of the stanza thus : Full on the casement shines the silver moon, Throwing warm gules on fair Felicia's grave, As calm she waits for sweet heav'n's grace and boon ; Rose bloom strown o'er the pavement towards the nave — And on her Epitaph soft amethyst, And on her Name a glory, like a Saint." At length the full peal of the Vatican thunder has reached the shores of England. We listen doubtless with more curiosity than awe, knowing well enough that to us it is sound, and nothing else ; still we would fain learn whether there was anything besides the mere sound elsewhere, and we hurry along over the preamble, and over the formal part, to ascertain whether the bolt really has been hurled at the devoted heads of VICTOR EMMANUEL and Count CAVOUR. But no ;—the telegrams have told truth. The Holy Father dared not individualise. His descriptions seem indeed to be pretty circumstantial ; no one can well doubt at whom the anathemas chiefly point, yet those who are aimed at need not recognise the description. "If the cap fits you," says the Holy POPE, " put it on ;" but the King of SARDINIA and his Minister may look at it very coolly, and pass by it as not fitting them. The Sardinian Government is indeed especially named, but Go vernments, like all corporations, have broad shoul ders, and can very easily bear their corporate sins and submit to corporate anathemas—each indivi dual confessing his personal sins and performing his personal penance with entire self-composure. It is pleasant, certainly, to see in this affair the waning of superstition. We look back to the time when not merely a JOHN LACKLAND, but our proudest PLANTAGENET trembled before the ful minations of a Pope ; and when an Emperor of Ger many must endure the lowest humiliation and severe bodily inflictions to appease the wrath and wounded pride of a Pope. Christianity and civili sation have visibly advanced since then ; and this Allan tion or Excommunication,or whatever we may term it, is the last evidence of it. We have here a Pope brandishing his spiritual cudgel around a King, but afraid now to strike him ; and we have on the:other hand a King coolly telling the world that when Popes wield their ecclesiastical censures for secular purposes, Kings of SARDINIA and Dukes of SAVOY have cared and still care nothing about them. If the POPE declares himself the Vicar of CHRIST, the KING shares his title, for he ,holds himself responsible to GOD and his peoplo only Verily, excommunications are now worn to rags; Europe laughs at what once made her tremble ; not a soul concerned fears for his soul's safety or com fort, where formerly he would honestly have be lieved himself devoted to purgatory, hell, and the devil, and have been terrified into making his peace with the being who had the keys of the In quisition, both above and below, in his hands. Popes, like a judge of whom we have so often heard, should give their judgments, but not their reasons—indeed, an infallible judge would appear to have little need to assign reasons. Infallibility is surely reason enough. When the Roman Infal lible ventures among the facts, or would wield the logic of ordinary mortals, we are apt most any°. rently to criticise his reasons, and inquire into his alleged facts. Even those who have learned against the testimony of five senses to believe in transub- , stantiation, may find it hard work against the die. tates of their understanding to believe in transub stantiation of bad arguments into good ones, and of Papal fictions into mundane facts. A preamble, therefore, intended to prove that a spiritual bishop needs secular power, leads its readers back to the times of the old Book,which the POPE at once pro. hibits and quotes, and where unfortunately for in fallible arguments, we find the highest spiritual authority destitute of as much secular power as the humblest policeman—where, also, we find " the First Bishop," as the Marquis D'AZEGLIO terms him, renouncing such power alto gether ; and the awful conclusion forces itself on the minds of oven sincere Catholics, that his In fallible Holiness argues very fallibly. And then, if the arguments be worthless, why fear the conviction and thepunishment ? The parties arraigned—if such a general accusation can be said to criminate any, may well reply, what we are ac cused of, is no crime—no crime so far as depriving a Spiritual Ruler of temporal jurisdiction is con cerned. He n ever ought to have had it. View the POPE as a temporal ruler only—then, in that ca pacity he is as responsible to his subjects —as much at their mercy to retain or to cashier, as other rulers ; but, view th e P OPE as a Spiritual Sovereign, and he has lost nothing by losing wh a t P ETER him self and his master equally renounced. The poor old man indeed resuscitates the old tale that secular in. dependence is essential to the head of the Catholic thatatholhice Church—to which the answer, o f course, is cannot be, in the secular sense, independent unless his empire be so large that he need lean on no other state—that he has been anything but independent ever since he had a petty kingdom, and notoriously so of late years—and that the Great Founder and subordinate founders of Christianity sought secular independence not in wealth and territory, but con sciences and in manifestation of truth to sciences of men. The whole document is evidence enough that the POPE and his advisers live not in the " wide, wide, world"—or that, if they do, they are not very " wide awake" in it. All the nonsensical stuff about the rights of the POPE to secular do minion, about the wickedness of those who seek to subvert that dominion, about the intrigues of Sar dinia being able to bring about a unanimous vote to kick his Holiness out of the Romagna, and the like, makes one merely smile—but, when we read the idle anathemas and curses, of prayers public and private for the " light of the Holy Spirit," about these very earthly objects—of curses of all sorts irremoveable except at the moment of death, atunrdetoor y r o e i t l urn if the man recover—the hateful mix hypocritical cant with the malignity of ecclesiastical bigotry, pride, and love of lucre, re minds one of the worst days of Popery. The spirit which rules at its centre is still the spirit which has animated the Papacy through all ages—the spirit of gain and power. The oddest little straw imaginable has just been thrown up—and it certainly does contrive to show pretty clearly, at a glance, the direction in which the wind blows or rather faintly " sets," at ,this particular juncture in the political atmosphere. The straw alluded to is a certain letter addressed to my Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his ministerial capa city as her MAJESTY'S Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, by Mr. LINDSAY, M.P., and Shipowner ! The communication in question is essentially and avowedly the emanation from the mind, the ex pression of the opinions, the avowal of— " The hopes and fears that nourish hope, An undistinguishable throng And gentle wishes, long subdued, Subdued and cherished long"— of one individual. They are hopes and fears, how ever, not the least atom in the world like those of COLERIDGE'S Genevieve or her lover. They refer not at all to THE master passion. Yet they certainly do have reference to A master passion, their inspira tion being not love, but—(" not to put too fine a point upon it") —cupidity. The incentive to the composition of the epistle in question is obviously and indisputably the auri sacra fames—an intense and overweening affection for the meum, and a terror almost beyond adequate indication of the dreadful possibility of its transformation in the contingency of war into the tuum. While 80,000 volunteers are beginning to handle the rifle with a view to the better defence (in the event of that same formidable contingency) of our "hearths and our altars"—some of our British merchants and shipowners, it would appear, are eaten up with a dread lest their pockets may be needlessly ligh tened—lest their tills may be unnecessarily ran sacked. They have a pleasant fancy that if war is again to be revived, it may, at least, be revived upon an entirely new and a far more polite system than of yore. They conceive, it appears, that private property might be exempted from capture and forfeiture among the belligerents ! They have a notion somehow that all war may henceforth become, in the literal meaning of the phrase, Civil War, as contra-distinguished from internecine. They say, Let the quarrel hence forth be between Government and Government — allowing private property to pass to and fro scatheless. It is a pleasant fancy in its way, we will admit, but rather arcadian. It is a proposition, so far as it goes, decidedly good, but it is one also that is decidedly green. The appeal made is very pathetically an appeal ad misericordiam. But so also was that final one almost blubbered out in the Court of the Venetian Doge by SIIYLOCK— " Nay, take my life and all, pardon not that : You take my house when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house ; you take my life When you do take the means whereby I live." Affecting as this very logical argument was, how ever, in the instance of the wealthy father of pretty Mistress JESSICA—it was at the same time, to ex press the plain truth in one of the simplest idioms in our vernacular—unquestionably and beyond a doubt of it, "no go." We have a shrewd suspicion that it will be equally "no go" in the instance of the British merchant and the British shipowner. Indeed, they have already had an agreeable foretaste of this in the curt but significant reply already elicited from the Foreign-office by Mr. LINDSAY'S rather lengthy communication. To that appeal quoth Mr. HAM MOND, our Foreign Secretary's Secretary, " I am directed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th instant, repre senting the expediency of an agreement being come to among the Maritime Powers for the exemption from capture of private property on the high seas ;" adding, " and I am to acquaint you that the obser vations contained in your letter will be duly con sidered by her MAJESTY'S Government, but the proposal appears liable to grave objec tions." A delicate way of putting it ! " Grave objections ?" Well, yes—we suspect — Rather ! We should like Mr. LINDSAY, for ex ample, to hear for a few moments the style of objection—the, the "grave objections" (that is the phrase) indulged in by some of the good old salts of the good old school. We conjecture in that case the hon. member would find his ideas (what ever they may be) in regard to the vocabulary of Oaths pretty considerably extended. Why, in very truth, the notions put forward in this re markable epistle by Mr. LINDSAY are, to write about it in plain wordsjust simply absurd. Mr. LIND SAY, or Mr. Anybody else, might just as reasonably suggest that all the cutlasses in the Royal Navy should be made hen ceforthwith blades of barleysugar! He might just as rationally put the inquiry to our Foreign Secretary, whether it would not be pre ferable to substitute for those terrible pieces of ordnance contrived by WHITwoRTH and ARM STRONG, let us say an equal number of syringes for the sprinkling of rose-water and eau de cologne. Imagine a really intelligent M.P. and an eminent shipowner—both of which Mr. LINDSAY indubi tably is—seriously proposing to a Minister of the Crown, or rather through a Minister of the Crown to the whole Imperial Government, a plan by which war may henceforth be carried on with out the chance of prizes being taken on either side as the spoil of the belligerents. Fancy the epistle in which this extraordinary plan is propounded by a private individual being solemnly moved for in the House of Commons, and by the House of Com mons, as though it was the manifesto of some great people or of some powerful Sovereign. Fancy, more than this, an address to the Crown being adopted by the House of Commons in an swer to which this singular letter from the hand of this isolated individual is actually published at the expense of the nation, and laid solemnly (so printed and published) before the country and before Parliament. When you have imagined all this--you will just simply have imagined what has positively just now taken place in the instance of Air. LINDSAY'S letter to my Lord JOHN RUSSELL. It is a straw, certainly, this letter, the merest spe r e. The member straw ; b u t i t i s one, as already intimated, that so far serves its purpose at the moment by sho w i ng pretty distinctlyo w it h er t e ofPar liament wind t nd in the political atm and th e shi • powner, who has thrown it up —says in the course of his communication to the Foreign Secretary, quite distinctly —",Though I offer no opinion of my own on so delicate a subject, it is iinpcssible to shut our eyes to the f a ct, which the shipowners of Liverpool and Manchester emphatically express, that , a deep and abiding apprehension prevails b)th here and abroad, that in the present unsettled political state of Europe, a rupture between France and England, if not imminent, is a contingency which many pru dent merchants consider probable in the course of historical events, and which they, therefore, w ill take precautions to provide against in such a man _ ner as may best protect their interests." All this, if it means nothing else—" means mischief"—it means in HAMLET'S phrase Illiching Malecho! And we shall at lout 4 0 well to look to it. STATISTICS OF REPI?,LWENTATIOA. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY: EVENING, APRIL 7, 1860. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN. SlR,—Referring to the inquiry and:suggestion by Mr. Bovill in the House of Commons on Tuesday night for a return showing the " relative import ance of boroughs" by taking " the number of houses to represent one figure, and the taxation to repre sent another figure," I venture to suggest that, from the official returns already published, showing for each county, city, and borough the population and total annual value of property, the Statistical De partment at the Home-office, or the Board of Trade, would be able in 48 hours to present a comparative statement, showing the relative importance of each constituency, as indicated by Mr. Bovill. In such a compilation I would recommend the following easy and practicable mode of arriving at and stating the result. To each county, division, or borough, let there be stated the population in 1851 and the annual value of property assessed to the poor-rate in 1859, and by adding together the two sums, and taking 10,000 as an unit, a mean or composite number will be deduced, which will be a clear and fair index of the claim of each place to Parliamentary registration. Having arrived at these index-numbers, or claims to representation, they would form the best and clearest data for the guidance of Parliament in dealing with the question of representation, and any proposal could be tested thereby. In the following examples the index number is arrived at by striking off the last four figures from the population and property returns, and adding together the remainders : Index No., Population inlAnnual Value, or Claim to Counties. 1851. of Property. Represen tation. - --- _ Bedfordshire .. • • 1'12.600 £5•17,000 63 Berkshire.. • • • 1 . 25,000 716,000 90 Bucking - ham inire.. 1'15,000 6'87,000 80 Aberdeenshire .. 1'30,000 5'05,000 43 Antrim .. .. .. 2'31,000 5•11.000 80 Armagh 19'6, 0 00 28'8,000 51 Allinglesea .. .. . • 4'4,000 15'6,000 24 ;Cities & Boroughs.

England and NVales Scotland Ireland .. 44 14 32 24 7 We are accustomed to consider, that if population be admitted as an element of representation, Ireland is not fully represented. The above table shows that by uniting " population" with the " value of property" (the best known standard of the intelli gence of a people) Ireland is really over-repre sented. This plan aims to secure the, full and fair influence of both elements—people and property. It can be applied in any way, according to any scale ; it simply acknowledges that people and property, the very objects of representation, should be fairly taken ; and where large numbers of people exist, as in some parts of Ireland, without a correspond ing amount of property, that they should lose their proportionate share of representation.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, DAVID CHADWICK. Borough Treasurer's -office, Town-hall, Salford, April 5. TILE FRENCH NA rr. An eminent shipwright of Bordeaux has pre sented to the Emperor the model of a gunboat con structed on a system to be propelled without steam. The Emperor has approved the model, and has commanded the inventor to build a gunboat accord ing to his plan. The steel-plated frigate Normandie, launched at Cherbourg on the 10th of March, is being prepared for sea with the utmost despatch. It is expected that her trial will throw great light on the efficacy, during a maritime war, of ships cased in a species of cuirass. The Toulon fleet has sailed, but not on a political mission as was asserted by the French papers, but merely to exercise the crews, and to try some new naval manwuvres suggested by the Emperor. The Toulon fleet, which is now at anchor in the roads off the islands of Hyeres, is commanded by Admiral de Tinan, and is composed of the screw ship of the lino Bretagne, bearing his flag; the • screw ship Donauwerth, bearing the flag of Admiral Jehenne, and the screw ships Alexandre, Eylau, and St. Louis. Admiral de Tinan is to be reinforced by the Brest fleet, commanded by Admiral Paris, corn • posed of three ships of the line—the steam-frigate Foudre, now : at Nice, and by the steel-plated fri gates the Gloire and the Normandie.

" General I'ost-office, April 5, 1860." S,ILE OF TILE L()RD MA Y 0 STATE BARGE. Thursday 'Messrs. Pullen and Son, by order of the City Lands' Committee of the Corporation of London, put up to auction the Lord Mayor's state barge, at Messrs. Searle's yard, 'Westminster-bridge, where she had been moored for some days past. She was built by Mr. Searle in the year 1807, at a cost of .2,000; and was launched from his yard on the 9th of June in that year. Her length is 85 feet, her breadth 13 feet 8 inches, and she is constructed of British eat.. He': inventory incluclod 26 silk curtains, table and velvet covers, carpets, the state chair, .0 oars, nagstam, &c. ; and the grand saloon is extensively fitted with plate glees, and ornamented with carved and gilt pilaster scroll work and other decorations. The stern, as is well known, is richly gilt, and has on it the City Arms and large figures of Neptune with his trident, and a Nereid. Among the conditions of sale there was a stipulation that the purchaser of the "barge" should deposit ss. in the pound in part payment, and should pay the remainder of the purchase money within six days after the sale. The property was offered in one lot. The auctioneer, having stated the cir cumstances which led the committee of the corporation to part with the vessel, and which was in consequence of the procession by water having been done away with, asked fur a biddinr. After a pause the sum of £2O was named. For some time there was an active competition. Eventually it was knocked down for £1.05. The competition for the civic relic was between some gentlemen connected with the boat clubs of the University of Oxford and with the City of London, these wanting to make use of it for a pleasure boat or a boat of excursion on the Thames. It was won by the latter. A VALUABLE WIT:i ESS.—At the Norfolk assizes on Tuesday, a .•. , i..her ludicrous incident varied the mono tony' e. l .;.te,vii: ease which occupied the court for two days. One of the witnesses called by Mr. Sergeant Parry on behalf of the plaintiff was Mr. C. F. Gale, solicitor of Cheltenham, who, on condo° into the box, declined to answer any ques tion until hilliad received his expenses.—viz., £3 3s. per day for loss of time and travelling charges at Is, per mile. Mr . Gale stated that he had passed six days in Norwich, waiting for tho case to cone before tho court, awl he claimed £29 Its , of which he had received .E,5 on account before leaving home. 'llw associate said the witness could only claim £1 Is. per day, and oh actual travelling charges. Mr. Gale contended that he was entitled to £3 3s. per day when he was away from home. Eventually the Court ordered that he should receive £1 Is. per day for eight days and his travelling expenses, including an allowance of £(1 for railway fares, in all about .CIC. As no arrangement had been xnade for payment at the moment, Mr. Gale was directed to leave the box, arid another witness was called. Shortly afterwards he we* again presented for examination, upon which he raised the objection that he was still unpaid. After some littl e delay, a check for the b alance due to the witness was handed to him, and he then consented to be examiled: In reply to a question, whether he had made any communic a ti on to Mr. Hamilton, his town agent, with reference the will, the validity of which was disputed, he said fto believed he had not, and Mr. Hamilton did not recollectriiT enanything being said on th e su bj ec t.

The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, APRIL 7. The Moniteur of this morning announces that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. Thouyenel, has informed the Municipality of Thonon of the intention of the Emperor to protect the commer cial interests of Faucigny and Chablais by establish ing a commercial zone in their favour similar to that for Gex. MADRID, APRIL 6. The Commander of Alcanis has announced to Government that five persons have been arrested at Calanda, and that he believes one of them to be General Ortega. Tranquillity prevails everywhere. It is asserted that the Emperor of Morocco has ratified the bases of the treaty of peace. MADRID, APRIL 6. Three personages of the highest rank have been arrested with General Ortega at Calanda. BUCHAREST, APRIL 5. The news published by some Paris papers that Prince George Stirbey, eldest son of the former Hospadar of Wallachia, had been arrested for high treason is unfounded. PARIS, APRIL 6. The reported negotiations for the conclusion of an offensive and defensive treaty between France and Denmark are contradicted by the following official facts : M. Dotezac, Minister of France at Copenhagen, was recalled in the month of December. Baron Baudin, bis successor, is still in Paris, and will only leave, to take possession of his post, a month hence. On the other side Baron Derkink Holmfeld, Danish Minister at Paris, was recalled two months ago, and is about to be replaced by Count Moltke. Baron Derkink Holmfeld will deliver his letters of recall after the Easter holidays. It is therefore evident that such important nego tiations could not be commenced between the two Cabinets at the very moment when their representa tives are recalled, and when their successors have not entered upon their functions. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. It is believed that the Government has taken into consideration the proposition for a treaty of navi gation with Great Britain. The Government is likewise actively engaged with the construction of railways in Algeria. It proposes to contract with public companies for the completion of three lines : —l. From the sea to Constantine ; 2. From Algiei s to Blidah ; 3. From St. Denis-du-Sig to Oran, with a continuation to the port. The capital not to ex ceed 58,000,000 f., of which the Government will advance 6,000,000 f. as a bonus to the contracting company. The Government will further guarantee 5 per cent, on the capital subscribed, to commence 10 years after the date of the concession. The Go vernment will, moreover, grant a lease of 99 years to the contracting company. Admiral Baudin, who has been lately appointed to the command of the Marine Department at Al giers, has quitted Paris to take possession of his post. The new Sugar Bill appears to have been objeeted to by the French refiners as fixing at too high a rate per cent. the yield which is to enable the exporter to claim the restitution of the duty paid on the raw article when brought to France. At present that rate is fixed at 75 per cent. for inferior qualities, and at 78 per cent, for the better kinds. The bill proposes to raise those figures to 80 and. 83 per cent. respectively, and it is that change which is objected to. The Constitutionnel supports the op posite view of the question, and maintains that the French sugar refiners need not fear to compete ost such conditions with any rivals in foreign markets. The Constitutionnel says :—" The administrative organisation of Savoy and Nice required some pre liminary examination ; and the task of making it has been confided to two functionaries of acknow ledged talent. M. Pietri, senator, was selected for Nice; while the journey of M. Laity, senator, to Chambery was for a similar purpose." BoußsE, April6.—The market is steady, with a limited amount of business.

The Union Liberal° of Turin states that M. Jacini, Minister of Public Works, and M. Vegezzi, Minister of Finance, are about to retire from the Cabinet. No political signification is attached to their resignation. The same journal mentions a rumour to the effect that the King will leave for Florence on the 17th. A letter from Turin gives some details of the re• cent opening of the legislature of Piedmont at Turin : " The measures taken for the ceremony wore worthy of the occasion. The municipality caused thehousos in the Piazza Castello to be richly decorated with national flags, and oriflarnmes to be. suspended from a number of masts, surmounted by the eagle of Savoy. Crowds of spectators flocked into the city, so that the population was doubled. At ten in the morning, the national guard occupied the Piazza Castello, forming a square ; and a quarter of an hour after the deputies went in procession from the Carignan Palace to the Palace of the Senate, where the opening of the Chambers was to take place. In the square was a vast assemblage of spectators, and as the deputies passed they cheered them loudly ; the balconies of the houses, which were ornamented with splendid draperies, were filled chiefly with ladies elegantly attired, and they also applauded. On arriving in the Hall of the Senate, the deputies placed them selves to the left of the throne, the senators occupying places to the right. In the seats set apart for the diplo matic body, the ambassadors of England and France at tracted great attention. The Princes, sons of the King, arrived shortly after the deputies, and took their seats on au estrade oppoyito the throne. A few seconds after, the Duchess of Genoa entered and seated herself on the right. At 11 precisely, the King, attended by his suite, appeared. His Majesty was greeted with the loudest acclamations. Keeper of the Seals having called over the names of the senators and deputies, Count Cavour, who was in grand uniform, presented the speech to his Majesty, and the King read it in a firm and impressive voice. Every sentence was hailed by applause, and the deputies of the new provinces particularly distinguished themselves by their enthusiasm. When the King delivered the passage respecting the Roman question, th e c h eers were almost frantic, and the same was the case when his Majesty rose to leave. After the ceremony, the national guard filed off before the King, and as it did so cheered loudly. The day was observed as a general holiday, all the shops being shut up, and all the people out of doors. In the evening there was a general illumination, that of the Piazza Carignan and the Piazza Castello being most apieudid. The weather in the morning was me, ae.a? in but --- at the hour of the ceraraony cleared up, and the evening was fino." According to the Bund of Berne, the persons composing the recent expedition against Thonon were 32 in number,-16 Genevese, 4 Vaudois, 3 Neuchatelese, 6 Savoyards, and 3 French. RUSSIA. The Abeille du Nord, of St. Petersburg, expresses itself as follows on the present situation of Italian affairs : " Central Italy having been called on to decide its own fate by means of universal suffrage, has pronounced. The populations of Romagna, Parma, Modena, and Tuscany have almost unanimously declared for annexation to the constitutional kingdom of Vietor Emmanuel. Thus, ties fate of Central Italy is decided. All that remains to Europe is to respect the will of the people, freely expressed, or to send a numerous army into Italy to dictate the law of the strongest. But that fatal law has so long weighed on Italy, and has caused her so much suffering, that she will no longer submit to such a yoke, and will no doubt prefer all the horrors of a desperate conflict, though knowing that she could not resist coalesced Europe. But the time of armed interventions has passed away, and in the present case none would be justifiable in Italy." The Invalide .Russe, of the same city, has the following on the Swiss affair : " This question may, no doubt, occasion some embar rassment, but we do not think that it can lead to a conflict. The protest of Switzerland would have been grave, if the Great Powers which had signed the treaties of 1815 had supported ilk But did the Federal Council come to an um derstanding with them before deciding on that demonstra tion ? This point is still a diplomatic mystery. Never.. theless, we doubt greatly that an understanding has been come to. A protest is worth nothing except it be supported by force of arms ; otherwise it is a dead letter. In quarrel ling with France, Switzerland does no good to any one. It appears to us that it would have been better for her to have addressed herself in an amicable way t• the Cabinet of the Tuileries before taking such a decisive step, and before forgetting that not very long ago the mediation of Napoleon 111. saved her from a disastrous conflict with Prussia about the affair of Neufchatel. In gratitude rarely produces good fruit." A letter from Rome, in the Independance, says t_ —" General de Lamoriciere has inspected the troops at Ancona and ether places, and is now expected here. According to letters received from him, he has seen from 14,000 to 16,000 Papal troops, which are composed of good soldiers, but have indifferent officers. It is said that an attempt is to be mad* to engage competent officers in the Catholic cantons of Switzerland, and that a person has been sent to Spain to endeavour to enrol there sonic officers of superior grade. A Vienna letter states that in the provincial statutes about to be published the old distinction of four classes is maintained---nobles, clergy, bur gesses, and peasants—against which the Tyrolese have so often protested. The attributions of the provincial States will be purely local, and willonly extend to ameliorations of secondary importance. Consequently little good is expected from the change. A letter from Athens of the 30th ult. says :-- 6 1 have to announce a partial change in the Ministry said to be the result of a Court intrigue. M. Rallis, the Minister of Justice, has been replaced by M, Potlis, who held the office three years ago. The Madrid journals of the 2d state that a tele graphic despatch received by the Government an nounce that a band of 30 horsemen had raised the standard of insurrection on behalf of Count de Mon temolin, at Arenda de Duero, in the province of Burgos, and that the Captain-General of the pro vince had arrested, "by way of precaution," two noted Carlist chiefs, brothers of the name of Hierros, who had long been resident in the city. Aranda de Duero is in the north of Spain, at a con siderable distance from the place in which General Ortega attempted a rising. A letter dated Vienna, April 4, says :—" The object of the Emperor Napoleon in wishing to have a Ministerial Conference for the settlement of the question relative to Chablais and Faucigny is very obvious. If a Conference should meet, the French Monarch will play Jupiter, and magnani mously give Chablais and Faucigny to Switzerland —if the Powers will recognise his right to the other parts of the Savoy. At Berno it is affirmed that all the Powers have promised to let Switzerland have the benefit of their good offices ; but those of Austria and Russia will hardly be worth much. This Government must recently have tried to per suade Prussia to guarantee to it the possession ol Venetia, for during the last week more than one ol the Berlin papers has declared it would be suici. dal' should Prussia engage to do battle in defence of Venice. It is related that France is endeavouring to bring about a reconciliation between Russia and Austria, in order that she may be able to come to an understanding with them in re gard to the dismemberment of Turkey, but I am not inclined to attach any great importance to the report. About six weeks ago Prince Dolgo rouki was agitating in Servia, but he was recalled by the Emperor Alexander, at the request of tke Porte. Not long since it was proposed to hold a conference at Constantinople for the regulation 01 Servian matters, but, for some reason or other, the Russian Government did not approve the project. TILE PAPA £ EXCOMMUNICA2ION. " Qui s'excuse s'accuse." There is clearly an uneasy feeling in Paris lest it should be thought among the mass of the rural population that the Emperor Napoleon is comprised in the excommu nication or censure which has been promulgated at Rome. The note in the Moniteur some days back, warning the public that no Papal bulls, rescripts, briefs, &c., could be introduced into France without an infraction of the organic laws of the Concordat ; the dogging by a police emissary of M. Louis Veuillot's footsteps during his journey to Rome, his stay there, and his return to Paris ; and the elabo rate articles in this day's Constitittionnel, signed, it is true, by M. Grandguillot, but most probably fur nished by authority, all indicate nervousness on the subject, as well as an earnest desire to remove any impression unfavourable to the Imperial Govern ment. It is true that French soldiers did not invade the Romagna, and that no portion of the Pontifical States has been annexed to France. But is it true that France has had no part, direct or indirect, in the act ? Is it true that there has been no partici pation, morally or materially, in it ? Is it denied that the annexation of Savoy to France has been a consequence of the annexation of the Romagna to Piedmont, and was projected from the begin ning ? Who wrote the pamphlet Le Pape et le onares. fiercely denounced by the Pope as a tissue of sophistry and hypocrisy : If you luuk at the map of the Europe of 1860, which was thrown out as a feeler in 1858, and, when the public mind got used to the discussion of the contemplated changes, was suddenly withrawn from public sight, you will find that the portion of the Roman States, the annexation of which has drawn forth the censures of the Vatican, is laid down as forming part of the projected Italian kingdom. So, to be sure, is Venetia; but if the eagles did not sweep over the waters of the Adriatic, it was not for want of good will on the part of those Imperial birds. It is true, as the Constitutionnel remarks, that the French army is still at Rome to protect the Pope. But the city of Rome was reserved for the Pope by the programme traced in the pamphlet. The Im perial Government probably cares very little about Papal excommunications or censures; but there is clearly great anxiety to show to the French clergy and the provinces that it is not touched by them. It is not forgotten that the object for which Prince Napoleon's cores d'arinee went to Italy was to force the Austrians to evacuate the Romagna ; and the evacuation of the Romagna was followed by the revolt of those provinces. The Prince, indeed, con gratulates himself on having by that manoeuvre contributed to the success of the campaign. If this be not " abetting, promoting, inducing," &c., it is hard to say what is. Talking of excommuni cation, I may observe that the one given by the Siecle some days back, and which may have been copied from " Tristram Shandy," was not the in vention of Sterne, but was no doubt taken by him from Etienne Baluze, who published at the close of the 1 ith century his " Capitulaires," in a volume of which I have just read the formula in question, under the hi ad of " Formulae ve tares cxorcismorum et excommunicationum."—Letterfrom Paris. M. Carvalho has resigned his functions as director of the Theatre •Lyrique, and M. Bety has been nominated to the vacant place. M. E•nmanuel Arago, who in 1848 was commis sioner extraordinary of the Republic at Lyons and after wards representative of the people in the Constituent As sembly, has resumed the exercise of the profession of advo cate at the liar of Paris, which he has ceased to follow since PROTEST OF THE DUCHESS OF PARMA. The following text of the protest of the Duchess of Parma has been received at Mr. Reuter's office : " We, Louisa Maria of Bourbon, Regent of the States of Parma, in the name of Duke Robert I. : "In presence of the facts which have just been accomplished in the States of Duke Robert 1., our well beloved son, and in particular in presence of the pretended popular wishes issued illegally 00 the 11th and 12th of March inst. ; and of the usur pation of the same State consummated by their an' nexation to a neighbouring State : W e consider it a sacred duty to again raise our solemn protestations. "We protest at first against the pretended right of dedition proclaimed in favour of the peoples; s new encouragement brought forward to withdraw them from obedience to the constituted Govern ments. " Against the proceedings taken by the Govern ment of his Majesty the King of Sardinia to obtain at any price the manifestations of the populations of the Duchy in his own favour. " Against the violence imposed upon the Parmesan peoples by the agents of the Piedmontese Govern ment. We know of old the true sentiments of the inhabitants of the Duchy. We have had numerous proofs of them in memorable occurrences during our Regency; and even at a more recent period. The sentiments are those of attachment to the auto nomy of their country, of fidelity to their legiti• mate Sovereign. It is under the intimidation of threats, under the corruption of intrigue, under the pressure of terror, it is after the oaths to the King Victor Emmanuel which have been imposed under the penalty of destitution to the enployes of all the branches of the Administration ; it is in con sequence of the general discouragement produced by nine months of uncertainty, skilfully main" tained,:ancl of tarrible dangers ; it is by such mearle that the manifestations of a suffrage falsified before hand were extorted from a considerable number of individuals. These manifestations, planned abroad, contrary to the permanent interests of the popula tions, as well as to the rights of the sovereignty and to the independence of the State, cannot have the least moral value, and we therefore declare them to be void and of no effect. " We further protest— " Against the annexation of the States of our well-beloved son to the dominions of the House of Savoy—an annexation accepted and consummated; and therefore we protest no less " Against the acts of acceptation and the taking possession of the said States than against whoso ever has contributed, by his counsels or his aid, to encourage it or to effect it. " This annexation is a flagrant violation of European treaties, of all the principles of interna tional right, and of the inviolability of States and of Crowns. "This annexation could not be claimed as a lee timate consequence of the war, and we intend to re' pel always, and, above all, the false reasoning put forth by the Piedmontese Government, notwitlr standing the sense of the purely defensive trot' ties between the Duchy of Parma and Austria , in misconstruing the facts, in order to bring OA Duchy to the condition of a belligerent Power in the conflict which had arisen between Austria on the one side and France and Piedmont on the other► and thus to procure for itself an apparent title to make it an object of conquest. " The whole world knows perfectly that frora the moment when war was declared the only object 01 our irrevocable conduct and our persevering efforts was to protect the independence and the well-being of our peoples, while observing an attitude of new trality. " This neutrality, such as was permitted to us bi the treaties, bat nevertheless true and legitimate' was violated by the entry of the foreign troops At rontremoli. We protested at that time, and ig t3 did net leave our States until our protests no mor e sufficed to protect the sacred rights of our ion. " Our neutrality rested upon solid reasons 0 right and of fact, which have served to cause the, rights of the - Duke of Parma to be recognised an d reserved in the Treaty of Zurich. It is, neverthe" less, always superior to the conditions and to the vicissitudes of that treaty. Founded upon inter national right, it is imperishable. • " The right of the Duke Robert to the States of Parma is ancient, acknowledged, confirmed, and _entire. It has been guaranteed by the Europe Powers in the t rea ti es o f 1815 and of the 10th ° June, 1817 ; it has received an implicit confirmati° ll of the King of Sardinia by the international trestle ° concluded since that epoch, and especially by the treaty of peace stipulated between Austria all Piedmont the Gth of August, 1849, to which, 1 1 Article 5, the Duke of Pa rma was i nv it e d t o ad ' here, which he did.

" Therefore, the offer of the States of Parlo us , which the Piedm on t ese G overnment has procute. for the King of Sardinia by revolutionary means' their acceptation and their consummated anne%ui Lion by the d ecree o f th e Ki ng Victor Emmanuel of the 18th M arc h, 1860 , are acts of a guilty a odious spoliation to the detriment of our b e ' loved son Duke Robert I. and of his successors " Mother, Guardian, and Regent, " We protest anew, in the interest of our dynast and of the p eo pl es o f th e S tates of Parma, agail l „, 5 all the unjust a c t s w hi c h we h ave j ust noticed, u" well as against their consequenc es .
