Offices-61, Gresham House, Old Broad-street, City, The advantage which the public will derive from the esta blishment of a Crystal Palace on the north side of London, where it will be readily accessible to three-fourths of the me topolitan population, as well as to country visitors by the Great Western, London and North Western, Great Northern, Midland, and Eastern Counties Railways, has now been re cognised by all classes of the community, and arrangements are in progress for ensuring the construction of the building upon terms which will leave no doubt as to the profitable re state of the undertaking. In the meantime, the Muswell Hill Land Company (Limited) has been formed for the purpose of securing immediate pos session of the whole estate on which the palace is intended to be erected ; and this Company will reserve the sight for the palace and grounds for a sufficient period to enable definitive - tenders to be received from responsible contractors for the execution of the works at a fixed price, • The purehaSe-money agreed to be paid for the property, in cluding the mansion a -,td the timber, is £135,000, and the owners have consented to t-;ite payment as follows, viz.: —£,`O,OOO, in ZOOO shares fully ',aid up. A deposit of £15,000 on si gn i ng t h e 'agreement, and t h e b alance of - £50,000 at any time or times - within three rears, at the option of the Company, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. In the event of the Com pany not availing itself of the option to complete the purchase within three years from the date of the agreement, the whole of the deposit of £15,000 will be returned to the Company. The estate consists of 457 acres of park-like land, all in grass, well supplied with water, interspersed with ornamen tal thriber, beautifUlly undulated, and commanding views of an extensive and varied character. It is situated on the line of the Great Northern Railway, wifhin five miles from King's-cross, and the Wood Green Station of that Company stands on the estate, The land is admirably adapted for suburban villas, and on the opening of the Metropolitan Railway it may be reached in about 15 minutes from Parringdon-street. This direct access by Railway to the heart of London, will, of itself, considerably enhance the value of the property, alto gether irrespective of the advantage to be derived from the erection of the Palace. The ,e•reat increase in the val ue of land in the vicinity of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham is worthy of record in this pros pectus. The Directors of that Company sold their surplus land, amounting to about 130 acres, within 12 months of the formation of the Company, al a profit of £3OO per acre. A considerable portion has bee - a re-sold at a further profit of £7OO per acre, and the remainder is now being sold at a net profit of £1,300 per acre. It will therefore obvie .asly be to the interest of this Com pany to treat on lib , eral terms with the Great Northern Palace Company, for the transfer to them of 150 acres, in con sideration of the la :Re additional profit which will be obtained on the remaining 300 acres, in consequence of the construction of such a building as the Palace on the property. It will be stipillated that a free ticket of admission to the Palace and gro-ands for ten years shall be given to the holders of land shares in respect of every ten shares which may be held by then - 1 at the time of the allotment of the Palace shares, and that a proportionate allotment of those shares shall be • reserved for the shareholders in this company. It is not intended to make any call until the question of the erection of the Palace shall have been settled, when a general meeting of the shareholders will be called to consider the pro posed arrangements, and, as the land can then be realised to great advantage, it is highly probable that no further payment on the shares beyond the deposit of £2 10s. will ever be re quired, and at all events no call will be made during the year 1860. _ Each applicati on f or s h ares must be accompanied 'with a deposit of £1 per share upon the number of shares applied for. If no allotment be made to the applicant the deposit will be returned in full. Applications for the remaining shares ~nay be made to the Directors, at the Offices of the Compan:/, al, Gresham House, Old Broad-street, City ; or to Messrs„Field, Son, and Wood, stockbrokers, 9, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street, on or before Tuesda.

The following letter has been addressed by Mr. Cobden to an intimate friend in Manchester : "Paris, 82, Itue de l'Universite, May 12. "My dear Sir,—l will answer your inquiries as briefly as possible. ".I am as strongly in favour of the principle of ad valorem duties as any , one in Manchester. But nearly ail the countries of Europe haw, from mo tives of convenience, or to avoid frauds, preferred specific rates, and the Trench Oovernment cannot be induced to take for its rale the ad valorem op tem. Nor, indeed, is it invariably desirable ; for in sferwc, in the; sepf iron and same other articles, the :English produeer prefers specific rates. In *oeds of a simple anduniform'nature, admitting of easy classification,.such as yarns and plain cottons, though ad valorem duties would be preferable, the adoption of specific rates will pot be attended with great inconvenience. If there are other articles of so mixed and varied a character as to defy classifica tion, the treaty has made provision for dealing with them in an exceptional manner. _ ATIMPA7'III' 13 7 1 TH GARIBALDI: A letter from Turiu says :—The importance of the present moment is so great, that I regard it as a duty not to allow a day to pass without writing to you. As you know, the treaty for the cession of Savoy and the county of Nice has been now sub mitted to Parliament for its sanction, and Parlia ment finding that necessity is law, will not with hold its ratification ; of course, the opposition will make an outcry, and there will be several adverse votes. This state of things was predicted by Count Cavour to Baron Talleyrand, the French Minister here, in a diplomatic conversation theyhad together on the subject of Garibaldi's expedition. The Count spoke to him, if I have been correctly informed, pretty much as follows :—" Monsieur le Baron, you are intimately acquainted with this country, you knew it before the war, and have known it since the peace of Villafranca, both after I left the mi nistry and since my return to it. • You know how great my popularity was on receiving back the port folio, and that my Cabinet was strengthed by the accession . of M. Farini. Well, confess if lam not now, after all this, less~ popular ,and strong than before. You are too clear-sighted not to have perceived it, and detected the reason. I have be come weakened in the eyes of Italy because I have endeavoured to please you and show myself grateful to the Emperor, to France. I should have been re signed had I alone been wealened, but the halo round the head of my august sovereign has also paled. But we do not complain, or even regret what we have done. The King felt deeply his debt of gratitude, and he. would do over again what he has done; but I ask you, M. le Baron, if at this moment it can be rationally or reasonably expected that we should act with any great energy against the national sentiment in favour, as it were, of the King of Naples, who, in common with the'Pope, is persecuting this sentiment. Can we treat harshly a man like Garibaldi, whom we: have, so to say, deprived of his native city, a man who repre sents Italy's strong desire of emancipation, and who braves every danger to obtain it? Let us not give way to illusion : this emancipation must come either from above or below. If you suffer the high and the low to coalesce for this end, we shall avoid revolutionary disisters ; if you do not, the emancipation will be brought about all the same by means of slaughter dangerous to the whole of Europe. If you leave our hands free we may be able to temper, to regulate this outbreak, but we are neither willing nor able to stifle our own wishes, to put down our own friends, to sacrifice our own interests for those of others, which, to speak plainly, are not the interests of your Emperor either. He is assuredly not ignorant that no warm prayers are put up at Vienna, Naples, or Rome for the duration of the Napoleonic empire, and that if General La moriciere is organising an army near our frontiers, he is not filling its ranks with the Emperor's friends." I believe the Baron sent a report of this conversation to Paris. 1- - - "Eng:land is not really in a position to dogmatise on this quostion, The French Government are of coufse aware ilia our own tariff hardly contains an ad valorem duty, and that even in recent years we have been engaged _in s=ubstituting specific for ad valorem rates. At this ,moment the wine-growers of Burgundy are holding niet, it to protest against our specific duties on wine, . o llich, owing to the al coholic test, impose 50 per ceni. - pore duty on their .2s. 6d. a gallon, 1 common qualities, costing perhaps' than on the rarer kinds of claret, I , :Oich are ofte n worth more than ss. a bottle in the ce.llars of the Gironde. My answer to these coniplait2ts is that the evil is inevitable, owing to the exigent fos of our revenue system. The French Government . plead, with equal good faith, the necessities of their Cus toms service in defence of their specific duties. . LV " With respect to your other inquiry, there iss not the slightest foundation of truth for the reports in question. The commissioners now sitting in Paris are not engaged in correcting the imaginary blunders to which you refer. We have no more power than yourself to negotiate for the alteration of a word of the treaty. Our duties are limited to the carrying out of the provisions of the 13th ar ticle, in the manner contemplated from the first, and by the only mode in which it could have been accomplished. The task on which the commissfcn has just entered will call for the exercise of mud!' palient labour ; and they who wish to pass a fair judgment on its conduct will wait for the result. Speaking only of the past, I will say that from the time when I was first brought into communication with the French Government, now more than six months since, td the present day, I have expe rienced from them nothing but frankness, straight forwardness, and good faith. They have never professed to carry out at once a free-trade policy to the adVanced stage at whieb we have arrived in England. They are rather at the point of depar ture from, Which Mr. Huskissoo. started in 1825, with the great advantage of haying had our ex perience to guide and encourage ,them, of hav ing to deal with protected interests very much in advance of ours of that time. 9..:he French Government has begun with the reyeal of duties on raw materials, giving ' notice that after a certain time the prohibitive system will cease, and foreign manufactures be Ad mitted at revenue duties, Nv hich will operate as st protection to home produeets. This is precisely the course pursued by Mr. Huskisson, and we know with what happy consequences. " The French Government have gntered upon this new commercial policy, not for the benefit of England, but from an enlightened appreciation of the advantages it will confer on the people of France ; and were I to doubt the success of the experiment, or fear that they will not persevere in the career on which they have enteroil, I should be faithless to those principles the application of which has conferred such incalculable advantages and blessinjs on my countrymen. The present treaty will inaugurate a new era in the commercial inter course of France and England, and it will only re quire a few years , to develop that state of mutual dependence which forms the solid basis for the peace and friendship of cations. " Can it be true that thee are sinister influencefe i, at work in England to mar, if possible, this fair prospect? If so, I trust, the mercantile, manufac turing, mining, and trading interests of the coun try will prove true to themselves, fbr in the present case their interests are eminently those of huma nity and civilisation.—Believe me, yours" very truly, " RICHARD CoBnEN." Our city was crowded this morning with Lom bards, Parmesans, Modenese, Romagnols, and Tuscans, who have all come here to enjoy the three festive days commemorative of the twelfth anniversary of our constitution. The religious ceremony was solemn, and the King was received with great cheering both on proceeding to church and on reviewing the regulars and national guard. The hereditary prince, at the head of the first legion of the national guard, was rapturously cheered. Unfortunately the weather is not dry enough, and will probably spoil a little the effect pf the horse-racing on the Piazza d'Armi this after 11001i at four o'clock. The Opinione Nationale of Paris, evidently with the connivance of the French Government, an nounces the opening in France of a fne•scription for Garibaldi. The editor, Mr. Gueroult, Nfrites .M,P.'S AND THE LATE CHURCH-RATE Amongst the members who were the means of sending up the Church-rate Abolition Bill to the Lords by a reduced majority was Col. Smyth, one f the members for the city of York, who appears to have so far yielded to the stro n g p ressure p ut upon 1 - I:4n by influential support ers of the Hi g h Church se;_iool as to change his vote from " aye" to to "no." The event has caused much indignation supporters of Col. Smyth at the amongst the Liber7. ll . sll last election, some of whom have caused the annexed hand-bill to be widely p',:isted throughout the city : " COL.

It was inevitable. There is no room in the Peninsula for two contradictory principles; one or the other must prevail. De voted friends, of the Italian cause may have wished at first to see the struggle delayed. But now the time for deliberation and regret is past, Henceforth there is but one course to be followed—to maintain by influence, arms, and money the cause of Italian independence, the cause which last year triumphed by the deeds of our armies at Magenta and Solferino, as it will soon, we hope, triumph in the plains of Naples and Sicily. The manly accents of Garibaldi, which have raised all the youth of Italy, now echo through Europe. England abounds in meetings and sub scriptions. Shall France be behindhand ? Will France forget what she formerly did for America, Greece, Belgium, and for Italy itself? May she not now renew the subscriptions which she made three years ago for guns for Alessandria P When governments cannot act, it behoves individuals to take the initiatve. A subscription is opened at the office of the Opinione Nationale for the defen ders of Italian independence." The Opinione Nationale heads the above sub scription with 500 f., to which its editorial staff and printers add 305 f. 30c. A M. Rouille Besnaret sergeant sends I,a of 9f. M.

" Since the Faubourg St. Germain enlists under the banner of Lamoriciere, it is' only just and logi cal that the Faubourg St. Antoine should emigrate era masse to join Garibaldi. Will you, then, inform me through your journal, of which I am a daily reader, whether a request to be allowed to go out to Garibaldi would be favourably received by the Emperor's government. In other words, may I serve under Garibaldi with the permission of the French government in like manner u others serve (with authorisation) under Lamoriciere? Your answer is awaited by upwards of 10,000 men, who are ready to start with me. " An ex non-commissioned officer of the Ist Regi ment of Zouaves, commanded by Lamoriciere.

He called a taceOug at St. Martin's Hall, in March- of last year, Mi . which Sir Charles Napier presided, and when th necessity of the measures he had so long advocated was strongly affirmed. That meeting launched the movement the great results of which we now witness. The subject was at once taken up in the columns of the limes and other leading journals, and the Derby ministry issued the famous Circular to Lords Lieutenant, inviting the formation of rifle clubs. The invitation was at once responded to, and the movement, which was stimulated greatly by the differences which appeared to exist between the policy of England and France during the-autumn, has gone on increasing throughout the country. So far as we are aware, the great services of Mr. n:chards have never been recognised: He origi• nated the movement, and the men the movement caught up seem to look with complacency upon themselves as its founders. We think the enthusiastic advocates of rifle corps might find some way to show their recognition of these merits ; for ourselves, although ,no indiscri minate admirers of the movement, we feel bound to give our testimony to the claims of Mr. Richards to be regarded as its originator, anxious all the more to do so because that gentleman has, with rare modesty, refrained from pressing them him self upon public attention. TIER PATER .DUTLEAS.BILL. It is, perhaps, too much to hope that Lord Derby will retreat at once from the position he has taken, with regard to the Paper Duties Bill and allow it to, pass the House of Lords. The notice he has giverflias, however, already been sufficient to set all classes talking about the constitutional office of that branch of the Legislature in .matters of taxa tion, and there are already some forecast shadows of contentions wherein that ominous word "privi lege" will be heard. Some of the present genera tion can tell from their own experience what . a "privilege" quarrel is ; how it absorbs everything, stops everything, and introduces violent and angry passions into all our public business. Let us once add a quarrel between the two honks to the French Treaty, the Paper Duties, the Bankruptcy Bill, and the Reform Bill, and we shall arrive precisely at that dead-lock in the burlesque play, where nothing but the Queen's command, in the shape of a dissolution, will induce all parties to throw down their swords and daggers. Now, before the parties are committed, it may be useful, perhaps, to say a few calm and impartial words upon the constitutional doctrines involved in the state of facts which seems impending. Upon the statute-book, as it at present stands, the Excise duty upon paper is a permanent impost, fixed for ever. It is a mistake to suppose, as we believe many do, that it is granted year by year by the Commons. This tax undoubtedly had its origin in a Resolution of the Commons passed in a Committee of Ways and Means, and afterwards incorporated in an Act of Parliament, which is as perpetual as any other Act. This is the case with all our ordinary taxation. Some very few taxes, such as the Income-tax, are granted only for short periods, it being understood that they are excep tional imposts, to last only during the continuance of some special necessity ; but the great body of our taxation is, so far as its legislative character appears, perpetual. To repeal any one of these taxes, therefore, requires an Act of the Legislature, and until this Repeal Act passes it must be col lected and paid into the Bank of England. This is all plain sailing. No one doubts that the Repeal Act is formally required. No one ought to be so ignorant of the forms of government he lives under as to suppose that a resolution of the House of Commons can repo zl an Act of the Legislature. But now comes the question,—Are not the Lords constitutionally bound to give formal effect to the resolution of the House of Commons in matters of taxation ? They who would impose such an obli gation on the Lords may say much in favour of their proposition. The whole theory and practice of our modern Constitution is that the Commons hold the purse-strings of the nation, and are supreme in all matters relating to taxation ; that it is for the Commons to 'grant, the Lords to ratify, and the Crown to accept. It may further, we believe, be said—although we will not say that our search has 'been of such a nature as to enable us to assert this positively,—that for upwards of a hun dred - years, although there have been instances of the Lords refusing to pass a Taxing Bill, there has been no instance of the Lords refusing to pass a bill repealing a tax. Here are two strong points of constitutional theory and Parliamentary custom, which tend to the proof that the Lords are under some undefined and unwritten obligation to give every facility to the Commons to stay the operation at any moment of any tax which may be in exis tence. _ _ _ _ _ _ . On the other hand, it may, and doubtless will, be urged that the Lords, being an independent Estate of this realm, cannot be under any obligation to exercise their legislative power at the mere dictation of any other body. It will be said that the mere fact of their assent being necessary is in itself full proof that they have a plenary right either to grant or to refuse that assent. It will be argued that, as there is confessedly nothing either in the rolls of Parlia ment or in the text-books of constitutional writers to fix upon the Peers an'obligation to exercise the forms of their house as a mere ministerial office, and as there is no legal means by which the col lection of a tax can be stayed except by an act of the Queen, Lords, and Commons, it cannot be thus gratuitously assumed that the Lords lie under any such an humiliating obligation as that of affecting to give their free adhesion to a measure which they notoriously disapprove. It will probably be ad mitted that the House . of Commons has by strenu ous and successful, and by a most happy usurpation, obtained absolute jurisdiction over the initiative of all taxation. It will be conceded that, according to the practice now settled, no tax can be placed upon the country until it has first been voted by the Commons in a Committee of Waye and Means, and then passed into a law by the three Qlates ; but it will be affirmed that, the tax once made law, it is open to any one of those three Estates to objeZl; to and to prevent its cessation. Against the precedents quoted by those who may adduce the old abuse of tacking popular bills to money bills in order to se cure the passing of the former, several more modern instances will be produced wherein the Lords have refused to ratify grants of money to individuals. If the distinction between taxes levied for purposes of revenue and taxes imposed for purposes of general policy can be got over, the precedents for the in terference of the Lords will be uniform and nume rous. It will be asked whether, in the discussion of the earn laws or the navigation laws, it was ever pretended that the Lords were ousted of all discre tion because the. bille which abolished protection altered or abolished the scales of duties by which the machinery of that protection Tras worked. It will probably be also pointed out that there are other matters in which the initiative belongs to the Commons, but wherein the power of the Fords to alter or to object is never questioned ; and perhaps the constitution of the Commons' House itself may be cited as an example among many of this class of questions. These are a few of 'the considerations which occur in favour of the power of free action claimed by the Lords, but the chief of all must be the broad ground that, before this Repeal Bill can become law, the Lords must read it three times and pass it; and that, as men of honour and indepen dence, they cannot do this if they believe in their e osciences it is a bill which ought not to pass. e b e 1;67.9 that of these two sets of arguments the latter is the core cogent; that there is no dif ference in kw or in ce;2stitutional form between a tax repeal bill and any other bill, and that if ever the occasion should unhappily ar;:fe it would be thus held in every court of law in Great aritain• Where, then, it will be asked, is the meaning of the Commons holding the public purse-strings ? We must go one step further to explain this, and we must show how the security for our liberties lies not so much in the control over taxation as is popu larly supposed. A tax is imposed by a law, which exists until it is repealed, but the produce of that tax does not pass immediately to the Gown, or rather to the Government—it is paid into the Bank of England. When there, no one can touch it without the concurrence of ! an irremovable officer called the Controller of the Exchequer, and that officer is bound to exercise his authority within the limitations of the Appropriation Act anually passed. This is the pivot of the supremacy of the House of Commons. It is the paying out of the money, and not in getting it in, that they hold their power of the purse. Some time ago, as any one may see who will refer to the blue-book of the Committee on Public Moneys, some rash utilitarians proposed to abolish this office of Controller of the Exchequer, and to trust all to "confidence in the Treasury." These people, although in high office, were igno rant of the rudiments of the Constitution. They were for pulling out the pivot. Let no one under value these constitutional forms. It is better for all parties that there should be no temptation to encroachment.

Richards, a gentleman well known as an earnest and able advocate of popular rights, urged upon the Govern ment of the day, in different organs of public opinion, the importance of encouraging the:people to take up arms in their own defence. The time was not propitious. The world was then wrapped in a dream of universal peace ; and when, two or three years afterwards, that dream was rudely dispelled by the Russian war, our alliance with Vrance indisposed people to a measure which was principally necessary as a precautions against the ambition and hatred of that country. When, however, thetaddresses of the French colonels, at, the time of the Conspiracy Bill had warned Eng lishmen of the danger to which they were ex posed, Mr. Richards, who took a prominent part in the public agitation which led to the defeat of that measure, renewed his efforts to awaken the people to the importance of taking up arms, and the Government to the duty of encouraging them by facilitating the establishment of rifle clubs. Mr. Richards's eloquent appeals, in the columns of the Morning Advertiser—a journal which hs .5 been the consistent and zealous supporter of the move ment all along, and which gave the cause all the benefit of its influence, whilst it was sneered.at!in other quarters must be familiar to many of our reade rs.
