A writer in a contemporary says : Being on a short visit to this place, and feeling very desirous to see the last resting-places of our fallen countrymen, I called on Lieut.-Col. Gowen (American contractor with the Russian Government for raising the sunken ships in the harbour) for some informatioi—he being the only person who knew their relative positions—who very kindly offered to accompany me. Our first visit was to Cathcart's-hill, where we found the beautiful large black marble cover on the tomb of Sir Robert Lyd stone Newman, Captain of Grenadier Guards, had been removed by some sacrilegious hands, doubtless seeking for jewellery or other articles of value. We endeavoured to replace the cover in its proper posi tion, but were unable to move it. Col. Gowen pur posed having it replaced in a few days. We also found the hinges on the gates partly hacked off, evidently for the paltry value of the copper. I also learn from Col. Gowen that there had been previ ously a number of shot and shell placed over and around several of the graves by relatives and friends who had visited the spot ; these, together with the large shot surmounting the corners of the wall en closing the cemetery, and on each side of the gate, are now all gone. We next visited the Artillery graveyard, and discovered that they had also disturbed the tablet from the tomb of Capt. W. K. Allix, Aide-de-Camp to Gen. Sir De Lacy Evans. The walls around this cemetery were sadly broken down. We then proceeded to the graveyard of the Naval Brigade, where a ghastly sight presented itself. We found the slabs that covered the grave of Commander Lacon Usser Hammett, of ILAL's ship Albion, had been turned over and the remains of that lamented officer entirely exhumed, the bones as well as some remaining portions of the uniform being scattered around the grave, which evidently had been opened only a few days before. It was truly a heart-sickening spectacle to behold the last mortal remains of this brave officer lie bleaching in the - sun. Col. Gowen assured me that on the following Sunday he would have the remains carefully restored to their former peaceful state. We then visited several other graveyards, and found them more or less ina very dilapidated state —the walls broken down in many places, and in some instances so much so that even the cattle have been found grazing within the enclosures. Notwithstanding, however, the mutilated and neglected state of many of the graves of those brave men who fell in the Crimea, still the sincerest thanks of every true Englishman are due to Col. Gowen for the truly Christian and sympathising interest he has so disinterestedly taken in having, entirely at his own expense and trouble, already- repaired and restored many of the English graves and ceme teries, as well as several of the French and Sardi nian, and preserved them from violation and decay. It is sincerely to be hoped that our Government Will take such speedy and necessary measures for putting our graveyards in a proper state of repair as to preserve from oblivion the last resting-places of so many brave men who fell during the Crimean campaign.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) THE EARL OP TYRONE Y. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD, The object of this suit was to take" the opinion of the Court on the construction of the will of the late Marquis of Waterford, dated in August, 1852. The testator died in March last year without issue, and his brother, Lord John Beresford, succeeded to the title. The present Marquis has four children all under age, of whom the plaintiff is a child ; and the question that was raised in the special case for the opinion of the Court was—first, what interest does the present marquis and his children become entitled to in the freehold and chattel real of the last marquis under the words of his will—" to .my brother, Lord John Beresford, and his chil dren in succession ;" second, whether any and what portion of the personal estate of the testator (other than the chat tel real in his plate, jewels, &c.), passed by his will, and to whom, and what extent of interest. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Erskine contended that the present marquis took an estate for life in all the pro perty, with remainder to his children in succession in tail. Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., and Mr. H. Farrel, on behalf of the younger children, suggested that the will either conferred on the Marquis and his children successive life estates with an intestacy as to the inheritance, or made them joint tenants in fee. Their lordships were of opinion that John Beresford took the leasehold estates in England and Ireland abso lutely as estates in fee. With respect to the personalty —there was no interest in the personalty during the life of the Marchioness Dowager as to the personalty in Eng land—the word property being used represents the class of property in that locality, the land in Northumberland, the defendant takes all the plate and jewels situated there, but there is an intestacy during her life. There is also £l,OOO a year to be paid to his sister out of his Irish property. This property was devised under this provision. Their lordships now considered the questions raised on the construction of this will written by the testator were sufficiently answered. POLICE INTELLIGBNC'E.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A CHlLD.—Edward Murrell, a little boy, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a silver watch of the value of £2, the property of Mr. Jas. Bradford, watchmaker, of 58, Bolsover-street. Mrs. Sarah Bradford, the wife of the prosecutor, said she only left her bedroom for about 20 minutes, and on returning to it missed the watch produced, the value of which was £2, the property of her husband. Lambert, 68 E, said he took the boy into custody, and on telling him he was charged with stealing a watch he said he did take it, and that he got into the bedroom by the back window. He found in his possession a brass cannon, about a foot long, of first-rate make (produced), which he said a boy had given to him. He also believed he had robbed other lodgers in the same house, where his parents also lived. In answer to Mr. Bingham, the bey said he had a father, that he was a carpenter, and worked at Messrs. Marshall and Snelgreve's. Mr. Bingham said it was a case in which the boy ought to be sent to a reformatory, and he should therefore remand him to see what could be done with him. A USEFUL CiurioN.—William Morris, a cunning look- ing boy, was charged with stealing an umbrella from the hall of 23, Golden-square, as follows : The boy went to the house, stating that he had called for some music from Holborn, and while Miss Rapp, the daughter of the prosecutor, had gone upstairs to maka in quiries, the boy seized up an umbrella and made off, but was pursued by Ryan, of the C division, and taken into custody, having in his flight thrown the umbrella down an area. Remanded, it being believed other cases will be brought against him. 7BIS DAYS MARKBTS. COVENT-GARDEN.

This morning the neighbourhood of Mincing-lane was thrown into an extraordinary state of excitement by the announcement that Tom Sayers, the renowned pugilist, would attend, at the invitation of the gentlemen who deal in colonial produce, and who do business at the Commer cial Sale Rooms, for the purpose of receiving a sum of money which had been subscribed as a mark of respect for his late prowess in the prize ring. Although the informa tion was conveyed to the persons privileged:to be present in the rooms, together with such private friends as were con sidered eligible, the news spread like wildfire through the city, and Mincing-lane was crowded long before the champion was expected. He arrived a few minutes before 12 o'clock, and was received with tremen• dons demonstrations of applause. lle made his way into the coffee-room, where he was received with great en thusiasm, and then conducted upstairs into the Indigo room, where the ceremony of presentation took place. Mr. Seton Lang, one of the most eminent of the merchants fre quenting the rooms, ascended the rostrum from which the brokers sell their goods, and taking Tom Sayers on his right hand, introduced him to the meeting. Deafening cheers followed the introduction, during which the Chain pion remained perfectly cool. Mr. Lang then addressed the meeting in eulogy of Tom Sayers, and remarked that, though the subscription flagged at first, it soon run up to £lOO when it was known that the renowned Champion was coming amongst them. (Cheers.) Many of the most eminent merchants had subscribed, as well as the lowest porters about the place, not that they admired prize fighting, but they felt the highest respect for a man who had shown so much courage and endurance. He hoped there would be no more fighting ; but if the Fates should ordain otherwise, every one amongst them would be ready to express a conviction that no foreigner would ever be able to take the belt from the gallant fellow beside him. (Tremendous cheers.) Mr. Lang then pt esented Sayers with a blue purse studded with white beads, con taining 100 sovereigns. Sayers thanked the company for the purse, and hoped he would do good with it ; but as he was no spokesman they must dispense with a speech. He then went back to the coffee-room, where he was again loudly cheered, and at length drove off in a cab amidst thunders of applause from the outsiders. FOREIGN RAILWAYS.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New market on Wednesday in the First Spring Meeting ; pre sent—The Duke of Beaufort, Admiral Rous, and Lord Portsmouth, stewards ; Mr. Alexander, Mr. Barne, Mr. Batson, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Ciifden, Lord Coventry, Mr. W. S. Crawfurd, Mr. Etwall, Mr. Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Mr. Lowther, Mr. Payne, Mr. Savile, Lord Stam ford, Lord Stradbioke, Lord Strathmore, and Lord Win chelsea. A ballot took place ; Lord Courtenay was elected a -mem ber of the club, and was afterwards present at the meeting. Resolution proposed by the Duke of Beaufort, and se conded by Lord Winchelsea :—" That the Jockey Club de precate the interference of the Legislature in fixing the weights to be carried by race horses." Lord Stradbroke proposed to substitute the word "regret" for "deprecate," but the amendment was not seconded, and the original resolution passed unanimously. It was moved by Mr. Greville, seconded by Lord Ports mouth, and resolved unanimously—" That a petition be presented by the Jockey Club to the House of Lords, pray ing their lordships not to pass a bill entitled 'An Act to prevent the entering or running horses carrying very light weights.' " It was moved by Sir Joseph Hawley, seconded by Mr. Lowther, and unanimously resolved —" That if a horse's name be changed it shall be necessary, in entering the said horse, to give his old as well as his new name in every no mination for twelve months; and if his name is changed again, all his names must be repeated for the like period; and nominations made contrary to this regulation shall be invalid." Sir J. Hawley brought under the notice of the meeting the abuses arising from the practice of entering horses in fictitious names. The importance of the subject was re cognised by the members present, and after some discussion it was resolved that this question should be further con sidered at the next meeting of the club.

Paris says :—The grand bal cos tume that was to have taken place ten days ago was deferred until Tuesday night, as many say, because of the late political troubles in Spain, some of her Majesty's relatives being therein complicated. Be that as it may, Tuesday night was the eventful one that was to witness the eclat of an affair that had thus assumed more than usual importance, and at an early hour of the evening the Champs Elyeees were filled with mounted gendarmes and .-)rgents de-ville, all occupied in clearing the wide avenue, so that the many equipages bearing their fair loads to the Hotel d'Albe might the more easily approach that magnificent residence. By ten o'clock a line of carriages, reachi n g almost th e e nt i re avenue to the Place de la Concorde, was slowly wending its way along towards the brilliant ball-rooms. The invites, as they arrived, alighted amid a number of gorgeously-dressed servants wearing the Imperial livery and ranged on each side of the Eptrance, which was draped with rich velvet and gilded hangings._ Noticeable among those most gorgeously dressed, were several gentlemen (1 beg pardon of the ladies for leaving- them to be mentioned last, but I am using my sex's privilege), whose fair locks and beards betrayed them as the sons of per fide Albion. Their rich Henry the Eighth cos tumes were sparkling — with the most valuable jewels, while among them strode a gallant Knight of the Garter (of this same knight I shall have more to say when I speak of the dancing). Cer tainly among the most beautiful women present many were English, so many that I felt a thrill of pleasure and pride as I gazed at them. Blonde and brune, they all looked most lovely in their becom ing costumes. _ _ _ When I first entered the ball-rooms the Empreks was not present, neither was the Emperor. But a few moments after I noticed a blue domino, whose stately tread lat once reoognised. I became con firmed in my discovery, upon approaching the domino. He was laughing and talking with and at a fair little bergere that was teasing him, and as he turned to answer one of her lively sallies I saw the pointed beard of the Sovereign of the French. I left Napoleon 111. talking with the little fair lady to examine three Princesses. Their Highnesses Mathilde, Clothilde, and Anna Murat were seated together. The first-named wore the costume of a magicienne. Her arms were bared to the shoulder, and bronzed, as was her face. Her head-dress consisted of a long white shawl of fine knitted wool, that was 'bound to the head with a circlet of Moorish coins, - and fell in folds down the back. The Princess's black eyes sparkled but the more from the dark colour -of her bronzing, yet I must say that her costume was not becoming. Next the Princess sat the fair Clothilde, looking fairer from the contrast. Her Highness wore a most becoming bergere costume of pink and white silk, while a little pink hat was coquettishly set on one side of her head. Her fair light hair was simply but most becomingly cape, and, to add to the grace of her costume, silo wore a necklace of roses pinned together with dia mo'nds. I have never seen the Princess Clothilde look so handsome_as she did last night. At her side sat the lovely and bewitching Princess Anna Mu rat. She was also en bergere, but her costume was white and blue, and her hair was powdered. She looked, as she ever does, most truly handsome. Having noticed these costumes I was turning away, having, like " Oliver," a de ire for more, when I observed a black domino, who was attack ing a tall Francis I. I detected in the feigned voice the sweet tones of Eugenie, the giver of this mag nificent fete and her Majesty of the French. It was now twelve, that witching hour, and as yet I had not noticed the kabitztes of all Parisian fetes, the Comtesses de Morny, de Labedovere, the Princess MetterniCh, and a nu►aber of those ladies entitled by rank and beauty to briller at all our most magnificent reunions. Just then I saw, from the attitude of those near me, -that something was to occur. The Duke de Tascher was ranging the guests on each side of the apartment, leaving the entrance free and the way clear to the room in which the dancing was going on. A pause occurred; the dancing-room was cleared, and Strauss's band struck up a lively march. Now came in all those I had missed, and the march changing to a quick quadrille, the ladies, who were diessed as the Elements, commenced a Most beautiful and grace ful movement, entitled by Strauss*, who wrote and arranged all the music of the evening, "Le Quadri:le de Quatre Elements." Si-teen ladies, in appropriate costumes, performeil this dance, which they had rehearsed several times before the fete. I give their names, beginning, as in duty bound, with those lent to us by a foreign land to add to our gaieties by their charming pre sence. They were Princesses, Duchesses, and Countesses— FOREIGNTIRS.—Mettenaich, Rozczdzireka, Sneyekowaka, Viezabytowska, Ischetwertinaka, Rosk, Errazu, Sinelwikoff, Wallerabrozl, Schowkoska. OUR 0 WN. —De Morny, Walewski, De Gretry, Persigny, Pourtales, De Weydoyere. "Le Quadrille des Elements" was most rap turously encored by the pleased lookers-on, and after a brief respite the sixteen ladies went again through the mazes of the beautiful dance. I must here state that I missed seeing the first quadrille of the evening, " Les Contes de Fees," led by Mine. Wey-Isabey. After the dancing I have above named, several polkas and waltzes were played ; and it was during the quick and lively deuxtemps that the English knights distinguished themselves all, excepting the Knight of the Garter. He poor ' fellow was weak in the knees, and danced with his red silk tights at right angles, more especially while executing his cavalier ssul in his qua drilles. A lady near me said he was the most polite gentleman in the room, as he was ever in a state of half-adoration of his fair vis-a-vis. I must mention how exceedingly lovely were the daughters of Lord Cowley, whom I observed look ing, with parental satisfaction displayed in his countenance, at the Lady Sophia Wellesley, as she gracefully turned with her partner in a waltz or polka. She was dressed as Night, but was beauti ful and bright as day. Two o'clock had no a , arrived, and on .all sides I heard inquiries as to where the great gallery was. I managed to get as near as possible to a large yellow silk curtain that hung about the middle of the conservatory, as I saw that near it stood the Empress, now dressed in white and wearing a burnous of white striped silk. Near her Majesty, who wore a mask, stood the Duke de Tascher, the nominal giver of the fete, and close by were seated the Princesses Mathilde, Clothilde, and Murat. All at once a clang of trumpets was heard. The yellow curtain was quickly raised, and a fairy-like and most dazzling scene met the gaze. It was an almost endless hall, surrounded with balconies and balustrades covered with vines and flowers, rivalling in magnificence all that we can conjecture of the halls of Italy's famed clime. Myriads of lights abounded. Overhead, splendid chandeliers poured down floods of light on tables that were loaded with a feast almost hidden from our gaze in flowers. At the end of the hall a fountain was splashing its waters in rays of light that rivalled the brightness , of the sun. All the senses were pleased at once, for music, sweet and low, was adding to the plea surable emotions of the guests, who were waited on by pages in feudal dress. Once the supper over, dancing was resumed with renewed vigour. The third quadrille, "Le Car neval de Venise," was then danced, and after seve ral waltzes and polkas the Cotillon began. This lasted more than an hour, ending in open daylight at six o'clock. It was conducted by Mdlle. de Tascher de la Pagerie and Count d'Andlan, the sec retary of Count de Persigny. I must here tell you that the Countess de Persigny was charmingly dressed as "Earth," one of the "Four Elements," and danced most admirably in the principal qua. drille. The Emperor retired at the termination of the Cotillon—past six in the morning. Then ended this most splendid fete. Too much praise cannot be attributed to her Majesty and to the Duke de Tascher de la Pagerie,-who planned so magnificent an entertainment. It was worthy of an Empress. In my haste to render you an account of the fete I have no doubt overlooked many most interestino. details. Should I recall them to mind I will make them the subject of another letter. You will notice I have made but little mentirn of the costumes of the gentlemen. They were all excellent, but space would be lacking to describe them, as well as those ladies' costumes that I have been compelled to overlook. Some time since I described the dress that the Empress was to wear. She was to appear as "Diane Chasseresse," but owing to the fact of its becoming known, her Majesty changed her mind and wore only dominos. SCOTTISH CANALS.—The profits of the Forth and Clyde Canal during the last six month s ena bl e th e governor and council to declare a dividend at the rate of 61 per cent., less income tax. An enlargement of the cut of the Junction Canal at Grangemouth has been completed. The Caledonian Canal is to be closed for traffic for three weeks at the end of June, to enable the Ross-shire Railway Company to proceed more readily with the construction of a bridge which they have on hand. In the interval the works are to be overhauled, and any repairs executed which may be considered necessary. .„/ HI SUN OFFICE, O't lock.

As it is of vital importance that the people of this country should form correct views of the sentiments entertained towards them in France, and of the rec.l character of the man who has mounted to the.seat of absolute dothinion, we have much pleasure in calling attention to a pamphlet entitled " A Few Words on France, by a Scottish M.P." • The writer is a gentleman whose name, if it had been given, would have ensured the deepest interest in his pamphlet, and who, we believe, would receive a large measure of gratitude for the patriotic zeal ho has shown when British interests have bten im perilled by France. Although the pamphlet has already been presented in a reries of papers in , the Saturday _Review, yet such is the importance of the topics included that we deem it a public duty to assist our countrymen in seeming the benefit of the valuable suggestions it contains. The writer has spent some time in France with his eyes and ears open, and his views and statements ought to disperse those mists which a certain class of politicians feel a peculiar satisfaction in gathering around us. The writer justifies all the representations that have been given as to the depth of this imperial man's nature, and the profound secretiveness of which he is master. "He has not even an adviser in whom he reposes confidence. The Foulds, the Billaultz , ', the Walewskis, and the Thouvenels of the hoar are mere clerks, :who originate nothing, and who only affect the policy of the French Go vernment by.carryiag out the instructions which they receive with more or less zeal and good faith." The opinions expressed in this pamphlet will be re garded perhaps with_the more •confidence as it is evidently the object of the writer to give the Em peror of the French credit for as many good qua lities as he can discover, and in which we must confess he has been more successful than- many others. However, he says enough to justify us in looking on him with the utmost distrust, when he says " a more profoundly unscrupulous man does not exist," and speaks of him as one who bus 'long since " got rid of that expensive lux . ury, a -con science.' If the mysteriousness of this unscrupulou3 man renders it profitless to speculate on Lis plans by anythin , he may confide to those around him, we are not ° left altogether without some means of seeing the face of mind. His ideas have leen committed to paper, he has " written a book," and it would be well if those who ought to watch his movements would make his ideas the subject of their study. The designs of Napoleon have been very carefully thought over by the author of a " Few Word's on France," and if a man be supposed to know his own thoughts, his are such _as should stimulate our preparations for the defences of this country, and the safety of our colonial Possessions. The leading idea of avenging Waterloo is shared largely by the people over whom the nephew of the defeated Napoleon rules. The writer asserts that "the navy burns to avenge its defeats, and perhaps overrates its own strength, gloat _as that undoubtedly is; its views are also shared by the mercantile marine, and by the whole seafaring population—even by the fishermen of the Channel and the Atlantic coasts." He adds that is possible that a campaign on the Rhine might have greater attractions for some minds, but the French sol dier of 160 cares more for plunder than for an " idea," and the wealth of London is a great " temp tation." It is important to observe that the authsr, writing before the Savoy annexation had been ventilated, said that circumstances seemed likely to " malv: Savoy the first prize," and now we find that this prize has been seized by the means of force and craft combined. Napoleonic ideas'have now to receive a further development, and we are told that the Rhenish ,frontier, Belgium, and perhaps Geneva, will follow, if occasion serves. We are directed to look to the case of: Geneva, with which already French emissaries are pre paring to tampar. Then "if Liege is decidedly hostile to a union with France, we should he sot Ty to make the same assertion with regard to Hain hault." Belgium will probably before very long become ostensibly an object or the Imperial -cupi dity, and the .Rhenish provinces will not bo long before somepretended reasons will be assigned for the annexation to the Empire. It is the leading Bonaparte idea that France should be the " matioiz-sOleil" of the Universe, and it seems to be the deep conviction of the unscrupulous Emperor that he must fulfil his destiny, by securing this glory for his nation, at whatever expense of truth, honour, treasure and life may be required. Now, we hold it to be absolutely binding on evcry man who has the least political influence, whet her in Parliament, in the press, or as a public teacher, secular or sacred, to give a true representation of the designs which are known to be deep in the heart of the man whose destiny is evidently to be the dis turber of the peace of Europe. The writer whom we have quoted, and whose seasonable papers we hope will be extensively read, has done good service by its reproduction in its present form. They are the real enemies to their countrymen who are claiming, on behalf of the occupant of the Tuileries, those peaceful purposes which he evidently does not pos sess. We ought to open our eyes to our real posi tion, and not allow such tiny politicians as. John Bright to delude the nation with assurance he has no right to give, and which, if they serve any pur pose, only go to produce a false security. No ; let us hasten the work of preparation for the evil day, and if that preparation gives offence, how much better for the safety and honour of the British Em pire than to be suddenly made the victim of treachery and a false confidence.—Morning A d ver tiser.
