The Proprietors beg most respectfully to call the attention et the trade, noblemen, clergy, &c., and the public in general, to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages. BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak Stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for Os. dd., or a dozen for 245. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the digestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To preveit imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm.

Long fee toons of the s am e fl owers w ill a l so be hung all round the dome, and trained up to meet in the centre in deep folds. The mode of lighting on this occasion will be both novel and beautiful. A line of fine gas jets springs from each point of the cornice we have mentioned throughout the entire length of the building, and a similar line of light from the lower and upper rings of the lofty dome. In fact, the trick of light bends obedient to the architecture of the building, so that its slim columns and general proporaons are made conspicuous feature of the whole decorations. In the arches between each column, also, chandeliers, draped—if we may use such a term—with wreaths of roses, will be hung, the same style of decoration adopted from under the central dome. Near the Bow-street entrance of the building a raised dais is being erected for the accommodation of the ladies patronesses and theft immediate friends. The supper will be served by Messrs. Staples in the large basement storey beneath, which will also be lit up and decorated like the Arcade above. When this ball has taken place pre parations will at once he made for opening the Arcade for the purpose for which it has been built.

The visit was strictly a private one, no person being present except Mr. Gye, who conducted the Royal party through the building, and explained all the arrangements to her Majesty and the Prince Consort.

Quant a la Chine une expedition seri euse cotnbinee avec les forces do a Grande Bretagne, lui infligera le chatiment de sa perfidie. En Europe des difficultes touchent je Pespere a leur terme ; et l'ltalie est h la veille de cc constituer librement. Sans revenir sur les longues negotiations qui se trainent depuis tant de moss je me borncrai a quelques points principaux. La pensee dominante du traite de Villafranca 'Raft d'obtenir l'indepenclanee presque complete de la Venetie au prig de la restaurat ion des Archiducat Cette transaction, ayant eehoue, malgre mes plus rives instances j'en ai exprime mes regrets a Vienne comme a Turin; car la situation, en se prolongeant menagait de demeurer sans issue. - Pendant qu'ello etait l'objet d'explications loyales entre mon Gouvernement et celui de l'Autriche, elle inspirait 5, l'Anglctcrre, a la Prusse et a la Russie, des demarches dont l'ensemble atteste clairement de la part des grandes Puissances le desir d'arriver a la conciliation de tons les interets. Pour seconder ces dispositions it importait a la France, de presenter la combinaison dont Padop tion avait le plus de chance d'etre, acceptC.e par l'Europe. Garantissant par mon armee l'ltalie centre Pintervention etrangere, j'ai vais le droit de marquer les limites de Bette garan tie. Aussi n'ai-je pas hesite a declarer au Roi de Sardaigne quo tout en lui laissant l'entiere liberty de ses actes je ne pourrais pas le suivre dans une politique qui avait le tort do paraiti e aux yeux de l'Europe vouloir absorber tousles etats de l'ltalie, et menagait de nouvelles conflagrations. Jo lui ai conseille de repondre favorablement aux vceux des provinces qui s'offraient a lui, mais de maintenir l'autonomie de la Toscane et de respecter en principe les droits du Saint-Siege. Si cet Arrangement ne satisfait pas tout le monde il a l'avantagede reserverlesprincipes de calmer des apprehensions, et it fait ou Piemont en royaume de plus de neuf millions d'imes. En presence de cette transformation de l'ltalie du Nord qui donne a un kat puissant tous les passages des AlpeF, it etait demon devoir, pour la surety de zos frontier es de reclamer les versants Frangais des montagnes. Cette revendication d'un territoire de peu d'etendue n'a lion qui doive alarmer l'Europe et donner un dementi a la polity tique de desenteressment quo j'ai proclamee plus d'uno foil, car la France ne veut proceder a cet agrandissement, quelque faible qu'il soft ni par une occupation militaire, ni par une insurrection pro voquee, ni par des sourdes manoeuvres, mais en exposant franchement la question aux grandcs Puissances. Files comprendront sans doute, dans leur equity comme la France lo comprendrait certainement pour chacune d'elles en pareille circonstance, que l'important remaincrnent territorial qui va avoir lieu nous donne droit a une garantie indiquee par la nature ellememe. Je ne puis passer sans silence l'emotion dune partie du monde Catholique: elle a cede subitement a des impressions si irreflechies, elle s'est jetee dans des alarmes si passionees ; le passé, qui devait etre une garantie do l'avenir, a ete tellement meconu, les services rendus tellement oublies, qu'il m'a fallu une conviction bien prolonde, uz a confiance bien alsalue dans la raison publique, pour conserver, au milieu des agitations qu'on cherchait a exciter, le saline qui scul nous maintient dans le vrai. Les faits cependant parlaient hautement d'eux meme depuis onze ans je soutiers seul a Rome le pouvoir du St. Pere sans avoir un seul jour cesse de reverer en lui le saractere sacre du chef de notre religion. D'un autre cote, les populations de la Romagne, abandonnes tout a coup a elles mcmes, ont subi un entrainement natural et cherche a faire dana la guerre cause commune avec nous. D'evais-je les oublier a la paix, et les livrer de nouveau, pour un temps illimite, atm chances de Poccupation etrangere. Ales premiers efforts out ete de les reconcilier avec leur Souverain, et,n'ayant pas reussi,j'ai tache du moins de sauvc garder dans les provinces soulevees le principe du pouvoir temporal du Pape. D'apres ce qui precede, vous voyez que, tout n'est pas encore termine, comment it est permis, du moins,d'esperer maintenant une solu tion prochaine ; le moment semble done venu de mettre un terme a de trop longues preoccupations et de rechercher les moyens d'inaugurer hardi ment en France une nouvelle ere de paix. Deja Parmee a ete reduite de 150,000 hommes, et cette reduction out ete plus considerable sans la guerre de Chine, l'occupation de Rome et de la Lombardie. Mon Gouvernement va immediatement vous soumettre un ensemble de mesures qui ont pour but de faciliter la production, d'accroitre, par la vie a bon marche, le bienetre de ceux qui travail lent,aet de multiplier nos rapports commerciaux. Le premier pas a faire dans cette voie etait de fixer I'epoque de la suppression de ces barrieres. infranchissables qui, sous le nem de prohibitions, en excluant de nos marches beaucoup de produits strangers, contraignaient les autres nations a une reciprocity facheuse pour nous. Thais quelque chose de plus difficile nous arretait encore, c'etait le peu de penchent pour une traite do com merce avec PAngleterre, Aussi ai - Je pris resolument sur moi la responsabilite de cette grande mesure. Une reflexion bien simple en demon tre l'avantage pour les deux pays : I'un et l'autre n'auraint pas manque certainerbent, au bout de quelque anuces, de prendre, cbacun dans son propre interet, initiative, des mesures proposees ; mais alors, l',abaissement des it en lieu de tarifs n'etant pas simultane, aurait part et d'autre sons comp ensati©n nimmediate. Le traite n'a done fait qu'avancer l'epoque de modifica tiens salutaires etdonner a des reformes indispensa.. bles le caractere de concessionsreciproques, dest:- nees a fortifier ?alliance de deux grandes peuples. Afin quece traite puisseproduire SOS meilleurs effets je reclame votre concours le plus energique pour 'adoption des lois qui doivent en f ac ilit er l a miss en 'pratique. J'appelle surtout votre attention sur les voies de communication, qui seuls, par leur devel loppement, pouvent nous permettre de lutter avec l'industrie etrangere ; mai s , comme les moments de transition sent toujours penibles, et que notre devoir est "EWEtiAnAVEtsh I'incertitude, si nuisible aux 't€ Je , votre patriotisme le promp "ettiik• - • --: •;---' et vousseront soumises. . - 1 , - t.

The idea of a great central metropolitan market for flowers has always been a favourite one with Mr. Gye, and which that gentleman has' before proposed, though unsuc cessfully, to bring into use. The only good opportunity which offered of carrying out the plan was to erect the Arcade on the south of the new Opera, on that space of ground where a pile of building materials so long offered an unpleasant contrast to the Opera-house itself. This chance has now been taken advantage of, and the improvement has at last been perfected. From its proximity to the theatre, and the general style of the design, most people were led to imagine that the new building was chiefly intended to form an ornamental accessory to the Opera-house. This, how ever, is quite a mistake. On a few of the State Opera nights during the season the Arcade may be closed earlier than usual to allow of its being swept, illuminated, and thrown open to the frequenters of the Opera ; but beyond three or four such gala nights in the year, the Arcade will be nothing more or less than a flower-mart, the want of which, it is stated, has long been felt among the floricul turists of the metropolis. Some twelve mcnths since a de tail of the chief dimensions of this building apeated in our columns ; but, both from the fact that it has since been entirely completed and decorated, and is now about to be formally inaugurated by the Volunteer Ball of Wednesday next, a general description of the whole structure will be of interest to our readers. The greatest and most important fault of all our glass and iron buildings has generally been their deficiency in anything like ornamental details, or, to speak plainly, their extreme ugliness. The building of 1851 was bald and un artistic in the extreme ; while that of Manchester, not hay ing its size to redeem it, was even worse. So with the Now York edifice ; so with that of Dublin. Nothing was ever attempted in the way of ornament. All these buildings have, in fact, been mere smith's work—artists have had very little to do with them. From this great fault the Floral Arcade has been redeemed by Mr. Gye's wishing to have a tasteful structure, and finding an architect like Mr. Edward Barry, capable of carrying out his wishes. The ground-plan and shape of the building may be best described as resembling the letter L, the largest and principal entrance being by the side of the Italian Opera, at the end of the longer arm of the letter, while the other entrance opens upon Covent-garden Market, by the side of the Piazza, at the end of the shorter arm. In a direct line from these two entrances run the main arcades, and over the point formed by their junction at right angles rises a lofty dome—the first time that anything of the kind has been attempted in glass and iron. The extreme length of the Arcade from the Bow-street entrance to the west wall is no less than 228 feet, and the short arm from Covent-garden Market to the theatre wall 100 feet. The width of each of the main ar cades is 75 feet, of which the light semicircular arched roof occupies 50 feet, with two side aisles between the main columns and the walls, each nearly 13 feet wide. The springing of the arches for the roof is just 29 feet from the ground, and on to the top of the arched roof is 57 feet ; the roof is thus almost a perfect semicircle. The dome is also nearly a complete hemisphere, 50 feet i n di ame t er a t th e base and 25 feet high, making the total height to the circu lar lantern it supports a little over 90 feef in all. The Bow-street entran ce — an d o f course t h at at Covent garden is similar to it—is exceedingly pretty and simple. The doorways are deeply recessed, so as to do away en tirely with the flat, boxy, hard appearance which the en trances to such glass and iron buildings have generally con trived to monopolise. The raised iron arches which give admission to the interior also aid considerably in removing this flat effect, while the handsome ca s t iron cornice, or moulding, passing across the base of the arched roof gives lightness to the whole. The radii of the lofty roof, seen from the outside, are highly ornamented, and spread out like an elaborate fan ; and the outermost curve of the roof over the entrance is surmounted with a kind of corona of cast-iron work, ivhich gives a very graceful effect to the whole. Glass and iron b u ildi ngs are, of course, eminently light in their construction, and this peculiarity, with the ornamental features we have mentioned, is more noticeable in the Floral Arcade than in any other 'building of the same sort. Of course the principle of light and elegant design is fully carried out in the interior. The cast-iron columns supporting the nave roof, instead -of being, as is US ually the case, mere iron cylinders, rough and unadorned as csntract lamp-posts, are all cast of a handsome pattern, with ornamental bases and rich capitals, the latter per forated to ventilate the basement story beneath the market, with which the hollow columns communicate. All round the interior, at the springing of the arches, is a gilt cast-iron moulding or cornice, of a very pretty design. The aisles are, as we have stated, nearly 13 feet wide and 30 high, the theatre wall forming the wall of the north aisle, and the wall of the Arcade the south. The latter is pierced with recessed windows to correspond in ap pearance with that of the theatre. The arches which carry the roof of the nave are trellissed, and apparently of the very lightest possible construction, though, slender as they are in appearance, they are eminently strong in fact, and have been tested with a strain far exceeding anything that can ever come upon them, as in reality they have nothing but themselves to support. Between the main arched ribs or " principals" as they are termed, transverse bars of " deck" iron, T shaped, stretch along the whole length of each arcade, at intervals of about six feet apart, and are ri vetted to the arched principals in such a manner as to give the whole roof the rigidity of one piece. The dome is composed of 22 semicircular ribs, braced round with wrought-iron horizontal supports. These ribs are not com pletely semicircular, but rather form a quarter of a circle, all resting upon an iron collar in the centre, which carries the lantern. The Covent-garden entrance continues the public way of the Piazza along its front by a roofed glass and iron gallery, 50 feet long by 2.5 feet broad. The base ment floor under the Arcade is one of the most extensi v e apartments, if wo may so term it, which has been excavated anywhere in London, except in the regions of th e d oc k s . It has the same large area as the building above it, and is no no less than 16 feet high; 48 10-inch cast-iron columns carrying the floor of the Arcade above on wrought-iron girders, the spaces between which latter are filled in with tiled arches, so as to make the whole place fireproof. Through all parts of the building hot-water pipes pass for keeping up the temperature during winter, and gas is of course laid on to every part, so that in case of night fetes, as with the Volunteer Ball next week, the whole structure can be illuminated in the most brilliant manner. In this sketch we have merely given an outline of the chief arohitentural features of this handsome building. The purpose for which it has been per manently erected is, as its name implies, that of a flower-market, intended to bring together under ono roof, specially adapted for the purpose, the immense trade which is now scattered all over the suburbs of London in tho hot- houses and grounds of our great florists and nurserymen. Few that are at all acquainted with the statistics of the flower market, the distance to which amateurs are now obliged to drive in search of plants, and the many difficul ties caused by the chief growers having their grounds so far removed, will doubt the large trade to which this mar ket will give a general centre. The whole area will, of course, be divided among the principal growers, and all the flowers will be arranged in large raised banks in the centre nave, with smaller ones in the aisles. Seeds, cuttings, tools, and ornamental garden furniturd of all kinds will be sold only in the aisles, the centre being reserved exclusively for flowers. Neither fruit nor vegetables will be sold there. So much for the flower-market. But general attention is just now more directed to its inaugural opening by the "Volun teer 801 l next Wednesday than to any part of its floricul tural future. No effort, apparently, is being neglected to make this ball one of the best of its kind.

MANSION-ROUSE.--Charles Stanmore, 18, was charged with embezzling monies to the amount of £75, received by him on account of his employer, Mr. W. Williams, of Gutter-lane, manufacturer, in whose eervice he had been collector. Mr. P. Macdonald, printer, Sutton-street Clerk enwell, deposed that he dealt with Mr. Williams, and that on the sth of November last he paid to the prisoner on account of the prosecutor £3 9s. 3d., and received the receipt produced. Also that he paid to the prisoner the rum of £6 6s. in the same way on the 4th of February last. Miss A. Poulson said she lived with her brother, a fancy box maker, in Bunhill-row, and that on the 17th of January last she paid to the prisoner, on account of Mr. Williams, the sum of £5 165., for which the prisoner gave her the receipt produced. Mr. L. Collingridge, of 117, Aldersgate-street, printer, produced a receipt for £2 17s. 6d., paid by him to the prisoner on account of Williams, on the 21st of December last. After some other evidence as to similar payments, Mr. G. Alce, clerk to the prosecutor, said the prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Williams, who is a collar manufacturer, as collector, and should have accounted to witness for all sums of money received by him on the same day on which he re ceived them. The receipts produced were all in his handwriting ; but he had never accounted to witness for any of the sums to which they referred, nor was there any entry to the credit of the diffe rent parties for those amounts in the books of the firm. When spoken to about these nuns, the pri soner made a variety of excuses, saying that he had applied from time to time without being able to get them. Police-constable 348 said he took the prisoner into custody at the house of a friend, and on ask ing him why he had absented himself from his business that day, he said he was ashamed to show his face. He said he had spent the various sums of money which he had embezzled, in the Hay market, with other lads of his own age. The prisoner, who said nothing when called upon for his defence, was fully committed for trial. GUILDHALL.—Wm. Francis Vandervel, a mer chant, was brought up on a warrant about a fort night ago, charged with fraudulently appropriating to his own use certain securities in the shape of bank and railway shares, of the value of £7,000, belonging to Anne Bruce Borland and others, was again placed at the bar for examination relative to that charge. The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was com mitted for trial. WESTMINSTER.—Miss Martha Augusta Ar thur Richards, of 13, Chester-street, Grosvenor place, was charged with fraudulently obtaining 1 1 . Mr. James Phipps, of 36, Belgrave-street, Pim lico, butcher, stated that shortly before the 17th of January the accused's servant brought him a cheque for 111 on the London and County Bank, which he cashed. He paid the cheque into his bankers, Messrs. Cocks, Biddulph, and Co., and it was returned to him with a statement that there were no effects to meet it. He sent to the accused repeatedly about the matter, but could get no satisfaction, and on his sending her the cheque he was informed she burnt it. She had endea voured to obtain cash of him for a L5O cheque, but finding the first dishonoured he of course refused to take the second. In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, jun., prose cutor could not say whether the £ll cheque was postdated one day. Could not say that £l3O was, paid into her account at the London and County Bank next day. To the best of his belief the manager told him she had closed her account. Directly after he had sent the cheque to his bankers, accused sent to him to say he could, have the £ll ; but as he had sent the cheque away he said he could not take it—she must pay it into her bank to meet the cheque. Prosecutor had heard she had purchased the lease of her house in Chester-street and its costly furniture at an outlay of £5,000. It having been stated that prosecutor was not prepared with evidence from the London and County Bank. Mr. Arnold said he must adjourn the ease. Mr. Lewis pointed out the pitiable condition of his client, who had been supported in fainting . fits during the hearing. A warrant had been obtained against her by Mr. Phipps, as though she were a com mon swindler. She was a lady of very good family, who had not the slightest intention to defraud any one, and he could prove that she had paid in Xl3O the next day after Mr. Phipps had cashed the cheque, to meet that and other liabilitie, besides 3 , , kich it was quite clear she had sent Mr. Phipps the money, which he had refused to take. Mary Woosten, one of the accused's servants, proved having offered to pay Mr. Phipps the £ll. Mr. Arnold said that Mr. Phipps's conduct had been most disingenuous, in keeping back from his knowledge when he applied for the warrant the fact that the £ll had been offered. lie (Mr. Arnold) must, however, further investigate the charge, but would take the accused's own recog nisance to appear again in a week. A second charge of fraud against her for obtain ing a silk dress was also postponed. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—At the late collision OA the North British Railway at Linton, several fog signals which were in the guard's van were thrown into come coal trucks, and there lost sight of. The coals were disposed of to several persons in Linton, and among others a quantity was supplied to Mr. Mason, banker. While placing some of them on the fire, the attention of a servant was attracted by one of the fog signals in question, which was lying among the coals ; but not being aware of the character of the object, she threw it on the fire. Here it lay for some time, until Miss Mason, observing the peculiar appearance of the signal, took it out. Mi. Christie, of Over Hanes, happening to call at the time, found Miss Mason inspecting the strange-looking mineral ; and when the application of the lady's scissors failed to give any satisfaction, Mr. Christ/I d e t er mined to test its qualities by breaking it. Laying the signal on the hearthrug, he gave it a smart blow with the poker, and the result which followed may be easily i mag ined. With a deafening concussion the signal immediately ex ploded, spreading alarm all around. F ortuna t e ly Miss Matson escaped without injury ; but a portion of the signal shell struck Mr. Christie on the head, laying bare a portion of his scalp, while the heed of the poker, which was blown off, struck him on the wrist, and inflicted a severe wound. Medical aid was immediately procured, and Mr. Christie is recovering favourably from the effects of the untoward oc eurrence.—/faddingtonshire Courier. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —ME.
