COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before • lice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood. JUDGMENT.-IN RE LOVELACE. Ths contention was whether, under a special power of appo! int:nen t in the testatrix's will, succession or legacy duty was • payable to the Crown by the appointer or ap po in' tee ur.der the Legacy Act. :H=as Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, held that the legacy duly. was not payable in this case. The iron screw steam transport Perseverance, 2, Commander Edward R. Power, left Plymouth on Sunday afternoon for Pembroke and Queenstown. In relation to the inquiry last week at Devonport before Captain Woodford J. Williams, it has trans pired that at the time of.the collision, 10 o'clock on Monday night, the 11th inst., the bark Ave, with coal, was under all plain canvas on the port tack, with head towards the land. She is said to have been previously seen for a quarter of an hour by the look-out on board the Perseverance, who reported accordingly. The officer ofthe watch went forward, saw her, returned aft, and gave the orders " ease her" and "stop her," but too late. The Persever ance was going full ten knots and had not lost much of her way. Very little noise was, made on deck, to prevent unnecessary alarm to the 200 troops below. Providentially . there was no sea on, or both ships might have gone down. The Ava was struck on the starboard gangway, and her mainstay and rigging were caught in the steamer's bowsprit, which held on for about ten minutes, when the spar broke and the bark went down. Meanwhile the steamer's two foremost quarter boats, • which are fitted with Clifford's lowering apparatus, were ciuickly disengaged. The starboard boat soon got alongside the making bark, and took out all the crew, a dog, and some bags belonging to-the men. It is said that the distance from the quarter deck of the Perseverance to her bow prevents very prompt action in case of such an emergency; that the great length of the ship precludes her from turning her head quickly, or what is termed " answering her helm ;" and that the extreme brightness of the night might have deceived the officer of the watch in calculating the distance of the Ava when first seen.

Bloomsbury Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has ,given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of strictgre, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

By its use the objections to the introduction of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every particle of gas, on reaching the.orifice of the burner, is fairly consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings of books, &c., is entirely prevented. The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to any chandelier or bracket.

The ONect of the NORTHFLEET DOCKS and LONDON QUAYS -COMPANY (Limited 1, is to prov Ide the Port of London with the following, among other. important ad vantages DRY DOCKS capable of receiving Ships of the largest mag nitude, which at present cannot be accommodated in any Dock in the Thames. INCREASED WET DOCK ACCOMMODATION, the want of which compels steamers and other vessels, especially those of the larger class, to avoid the Port of London. DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH EXISTING RAIL WAYS, thereby securing to Merchants and Shippers the direct conveyance of imports and exports to and from any part of Great Britain without the delay and expense of cartage, wharfage, and lighterage in transit. PLANS AND ESTIMATES of the whole undertaking have been carefully prepared, and have been investigated by a Committee appointed for that purpose. The Reports of the Engineers show a sum of £2,000,000 will be sufficient to carry out the undertaking in its integrity, leaving an ample margin for the purchase of the properties ;_ and the Engineers have named to the Directors eminent Contrac tors, who are willing to take and guarantee the execution of all the works within the estimates. It is intended, however, to construct the works at Northifeet by gradual operations, according to the requirements of Commerce, and it is not expected that more than £l„250,000 will be called up within the first eighteen months ; no call to ex ceed £2 10s. per share. IMMEDIATE REVENUE.—An unusual feature in this en terprise is that an immediate revenue will accrue to the Company from the business carried on at the Quays and Warehouses in London, and the operations of the exist ing Dry Dock and Engineering Plant and Machinery at Northfieet, as well as from the sale of chalk and flints, which will enable the Company, during the construction of the works, to declare a dividend upon the Calls as paid up. PROSPECTIVE REVENUE. —The important comMercial advantages to be derived from the several objects which the undertaking comprehends, and the comparatively small outlay required, lead the Directors t o expect, under a system of low charges, returns of no ordinary profit. In the event of the Directors notdeeming it advisable to pro ceed, the deposit will be returned to the Shareholders, less the Preliminary Expenses, which will not under any circumstances exceed Five Shillings per S hare. Applications for Shares to be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company; to the Brokers, Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street, London ; also to John B. Neilson, Esq., Liverpool ; Mewburn, Esq., Manchester ; Nathaniel Lee, Esq., Birmingham ; Thomas Parkinson, Esq., and Harry Hu.: - , , hlings, Esq., Halifax ; Messrs.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL S'-YESTERDAY. Time was so much occupied by the settling the Epsom accounts that little opportunity was afforded for speculation. Towards the close of the afternoon, however, betting was carried on with some briskness. For the Chester Cup Royal Sovereign was strongly supported, and after 12 to I had been taken layers were tired at the price, and the highest offer when the room closed was 10 to 1. Bevis, Herne, and Satinstone were also much inquired after; Leamington advanced from 50 to 40 to 1, whilst of the out siders Olympias and Bastion were in some demand. For the Two Thousand The Promised Land was backed at' 100 to 20, 9 to 2, and 4 to 1, whilst his stable companion, Nimrod, found supporters at 100 to 15. Both The Promised Land and Musjid were backed for money for the Derby. At first 7to 1 was taken about The Promised Land, and 2,100 to 300 was booked in one bet about him; subsequently 1,200 to 200 was taken, but he went back again to his former price. At first 9to 1 was taken to upwards of £3OO about Musjid ; 8 to 1 was after wards taken; but, like The Promised Land, he receded to his opening price.

Ann Mathews, the wife of the cb 3 fendant was his sister and sole next of kin, and as he died i i itestate she became entitled to the estate in question. The iilefendant who was a grocer and had resided at Chip' I ing Norton, some time subsequent to his marriage ; but h a wing become embarrassed he assigned his interest in the 1 Easiness which he carried on to the deceased, who ap pointed the petitioner to conduct it. The defendants' ill treatment of her compelled Mrs. Mathews to leave him in 1853, :and in conformity with the terms of an indenture exe cuted, she lived separate, having the custody of the childr en. The defendant shortly afterwards went to Ox ford rhere he enlisted in the Coldstream Guards, in which regim ent he was a corporal, and was entirely dependent on his p. ay. The plaintiff and two other parties were ap pointe d by the Master of the Rolls trustees of the indenture, in order to protect the property. Under the circumstances Mrs. Mathews renounced administration. Per the de fendant it was contended that he was entitled to administer when his wife refused to do it, that there was collusion be tween Mrs. Mathews and the plaintiff. It was also averred on his behalf that he offered to settle two-thirds of the estate on Mrs. Mathews, or the whole of it provided she lived with him, and gave him some beneficial interest in the same ; that he had not acted with cruelty, and that he had redeemed his character by his good conduct in the army. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Charnock were counsel for the petition, and Dr. Spinks appeared for the defendant. The court reserved judgment. CHARLTON V. HINDMARSH. This was a testamentary suit, and an issue had been di rected to be heard at the assizes at Devon, and the jury, under the instruction of Mr. Justice Byles, returned a verdict for the defendant, with leave for counsel to apply for a new trial. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., on behalf of the plaintiff, now moved for a new trial, on the ground that the disputed will was not validly subscribed. Rule granted. The Court then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE ROBBERY AT THE " HOME FOR MOTHERLESS GlRLS."—Elizabeth M‘Donald, the young woman who was charged with .stealing about £l5, the moneys of Lord Ebury and others, the trustees of the Ho me f or M o th er l ess Girls, 2, King-street, Grosvenor-square, was brought up for final examination. The prisoner was employed as a cook at the Homo since January last, and during the time she was so employed several small sums of money were missed from a drawer in the library table. On the Ist of April she left the Home without giving any notice, and after she was gone a f... 5 note and other money was missed, the whole amounting to about £l5 at different times. It also appeared that, from the time the prisoner left the Home till she was taken into custody, she had been visiting theatres and riding about in cabs, spending about 10s. a day. Mr. Beadon said she was charged with stealing a £5 note and other moneys, the property of Lord Ebury and others, the trustees of the Home for Motherless Girls ; was she guilty or not ? The prisoner said, sobbing, that she was guilty. Mr. Beadon said there could be no doubt of it. The note had been traced to the shop where she had purchased a bonnet and other things. A person from the bank was present, and the case was quite clear. She had gone as servant to the Home, and had taken the opportunity of stealing money in this terrible way—first stealing small sums, and ending by stealing a £5 note. It was not a solitary instance, and it was very necessary an example should be made of her, and it was all the worse as she must have known the money was for poor destitute chil dren. The prisoner was then committed for six months, with hard labour, to the House of Correction. CO IVES, ISLE OF WIGHT. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. COUNTY OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT. --C. C. Clifford, Esq., the present member, having given his vote's, and carried out the promises he made at the time of his election, and paid immediate attention to all applications to him on local matters of a public nature, there seems to be no ch ance o f any one picking a hole i n his coat, and no one can be found hardy enough to take the field against him. THE MEMBERS FOR TILE BOROUGH OF NEWPORT.-- Messrs. Mangles and Buxton have not presented themselves for re-election. They saw their chance was hopeless. They lost xuany of their friends in neglecting to attend to an ap plication made to them of a local but public nature, in which the whole town felt interested ; but strange to say these professed friends of public improvements did not even reply to the official letters sent them. Messrs. E. F. Flower and W. M. Cooke have offered themselves on the Liberal side ; they have published ad dresses to the : burgesses, and held public meetings at New port and at Cowes._ - Messrs. W. R. Kennard and P. L. Powys have been brought forward by the Conservatives, and have had meet ings of their friends at Newport, and intend holding a meet ing at the Fountain Hotel, Cowes, to-morrow evening; but both parties are obliged to use a great deal of exertion to get the electors to attend the meetings. The good things of this life are not so freely given away now at election meetings as they were formerly—there is no imitating in grog now. The general opinion is that the Liberals will be beaten. They made a great mistake in not securing Mr. Massey at the last election, and have now to pay the penalty. RAILWAY COMPETITION.—The cheap fares from London to Cowes is daily giving hundreds opportunities to visit the Isle of Wight that the old high rates prevented doing so. Parties may now obtain a double journey ticket for 3s. 6d., and this includes train, omnibus, pier, and steamboat, from London to Cowes and back again; and one of the railway companies at least have had their eyes opened to the fact of their having been robbing themselves for years by extrava gant charges, bad carriages, and slow travelling. IRON SCREW STEAMER FOR THE R.Y.S.—The Marquis of Conyngham, we hear, is having a splendid iron screw steam yacht, of 250 tons, built at Glasgow, under the super intendence of Captain M. M. Keane, secretary to the Royal Northern Yacht Club. ISLE OF WIGHT STEEPLECHASES.—These long -promised events are fixed to come off on Thursday next. The ground chosen is at Gatcombe, near Newport, and from the num ber of horses entered great sport is expected. The first race is for horses that have fairly hunted with the Isle of Wight hounds, to be ridden by gentlemen farmers or their sons, who have not ridden for hire. Ten entries have been made. The second is an open race of £5 each, and £3O added ; distance about three miles; thorough-bred horses 71b extra. Besides the island horses, several have been entered and sent from other parts of the kingdom. Fourteen are entered for this race. The third race is for a purse. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. ST. IVES. It is stated that this hitherto unpretending little borough at the Land's-end is to occupy hereafter no inconsiderable share of attention in the commercial world. A requisition is in course of signature to an eminent financier, who is a western man, connected with one of our leading dock and several other public companies, to come forward as a candidate, and pledging the parties to secure his return, in the full assurance that he will promote the general interests of the borough, and especially assist them to obtain aParliamentary grant of £400,000 in aid of a refuge harbour, as recom mended in the recent report of the Royal Commis sion on Harbours of Refuge, and to form a company for constructing commercial docks in connection therewith. As the Bth of May falls on a Sunday, the £2,000,000 Ex c hequer Bonds maturing on that day will not be paid until the 9th. sion - , and will remain shipped until after - the next trial, when she will return to the harbour and ship Griffith's screw for a trial. As the common screw will be tried with the form and pitch variously mo dified, it is likely that these trials, if fully carried out, may continue for some little time. Captain Gordon, commanding steam reserve, with Mr. Murdock, inspector of machinery, were on board during the trial. Sir Baldwin W. Walker, Sur veyor of the Navy, also returned to harbour in the Doris, having previously gone oat on board the Mersey. The Melpomene, 51, screw steam frigate, at Portsmouth, was yesterday taken out of No. 7 dock and berthed alongside the north quay of the steam-basin, where she will take on board her gulls, shot, &c. The Pincher and Bullfinch, gun boats, were afterwards taken into the same dock. The men employed in Portsmouth Dockyard upon the Assurance, Neptune, and other vessels that are being brought forward for immediate service, com menced yesterday to work overtime, it having been determined to complete all vessels at present in hand as speedily as possible. The Court-martial upon the officers of the Jaseur, for the loss of that vessel during the night of the 26th of February, on the shoal of Baxo Nuevo, will be held on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, this morning. The sailing ship Sidney Hall was yesterday char tered by Government for the transport of shot and shell from Woolwich to Gibraltar. The sailing transport Vicar of Bray yesterday left Woolwich for Valparaiso laden with ammunition and war stores. The following appointments were madeyesterday at the Admiralty :—Samuel Libby, Master, to the Trident ; Samuel Coles, Naval Instructor, to the Algiers; John H. Minter, Deputy Medical In spector, to the Victoria and Albert ; Henry J. V. Mial, Paymaster, additional, to the Hannibal. ; and Edwarell. Stanton, Assistant Paymaster, to the Exmouth. THE ARMY. We have reason to believe that the Mediterra nean garrisons will be promptly reinforced. Pro bably several of the second battalions of regiments serving in India will be employed in this service. The 28th Company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Captain R. W. Duff, now stationed at the Camp at Aldershott, and the 29th Company stationed at Portsmouth, are under orders to pro ceed to Chatham to join head-quarters. The 28th Company will be relieved at Aldershott by the 35th (Captain W. Y. Stuart's) Company, and the 29th, at Portsmouth, by the 36th (Captain C. E. Harvey's) Company, both of which are now at Brompton Barracks. The companies of Royal Engineers selected to embark for the Mediterranean to augment that branch of the service are the 28th, which proceeds to Corfu, and the 29th, which is to embark for Malta. It is understood that the 30th Company, now stationed at Shorncliffe, will also be despatched to the Mediterranea n . _ _ -A formidable convoy of 18-pounder guns, and loaded ammunition waggons, together with the numerous train, composing four siege batteries, yesterday departed from . Woolwich garrison for Colchester and Chichester, in command respectively of Major Franklin, C.B. ; Major Barry, Capt. Leslie, and Capt. Milward, B.A. Each gun was drawn by 12 horses, the four batteries employ ing about 500 horses. Each of the marine stations has now been manned with two additional powerful batteries complete, which will render the entire line of coast defensible against any sudden invasion. The brigades of field and siege batteries of Royal Artillery, together with the batteries of the Royal Horse and the available portion of the Line regi ments in garrison, were yesterday reviewed on Woolwich-common by General Sir W. F. Williams, Commandant. The whole of the troops were in heavy marching order, and were put through the usual exercises pertaining to a general field-day.

TACLES.—POWERFUL TELESCOPES.—OPERA RACE, AND PERSPECTIVE GLASSES. Messrs. S. and B. Solomon, opticians, 39, Albermarle-Street, Piccadilly. Observe— opposite the York Hotel, W.—Opera, Race-course, Field, and general Out-door Day and Night Perspective Glasses, very small, for the waistcoat pocket, each containing 12 and 18 lenses, constructed of German glass. Will show dis tinctly a person to know them at two-and-a-half and three miles, and an object from eight to ten miles distant. Her Majesty's Coast Guards are making use of them as day and night glasses in preference to all others ; they are also pre ferred for deer-stalking by sportsmen, gentlemen, and gamekeepers. Telescopes 3f inches long, by which a per son may be clearly seen and known at 3f miles' and an object at 12 to 14 miles' distance; and with an extra astro nomical eye-piece, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and the double stars are distinctly seen. All the above can be had of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers, and are secured by her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. The Royal Exhibition, 1851. A valuable, newly invented, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one and a half mile distant. They answer every purpose on the Race-course an d at the Opera - houses. ountry scenery and ships are clearly seen at four to six miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer -stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gen tl emen, game keepers, and tourists. Price 30 s.—Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation —can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by statingtheirage. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful small ne wly-invented instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others, surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unplea sant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely re • moved,. and it afford s all the assistance that possibly could be des ired.--39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe-- opposite the York Hotel, W. (From the baily Hews.) While two great Continental Powers are on the brink of war, and a confederation comprising some thirty millions of men is arming in expectation of a share in the strife, attention is once more seri ously directed to the state of our own National Defences. Not that France is more likely to attack us when she is engaged with a powerful foe ; on the contrary, the petty slights in which M. Walewski and his colleagues have thought fit to indulge towards this country in certain late trans actions are likely to be abandoned for a much more courteous demeanour, should the Emperor Napoleon be brought into conflict with the stubborn races of Central Europe. But history has shown us how a war has an inevitable tendency to become general, and it needs no long reflection to assure us that the more nations are united by ties of trade and inter course, the more one of them must be affected by the blows which are directed against another. It will be, indeed, the sacred duty of England to keep aloof from a struggle between tyranny affecting the championship of legitimate right, and ambition wearing the mask of disinterested philanthropy. But, as Lord Derby warned us last night, England may soon be called upon, if not to interfere, at least to show her power of interference. We have often called attention to the general subject of National Defence, but always, we are sorry to say, with very limited success. Indeed, it will probably require a great calamity or a thorough fright to make Englishmen take up the matter in the patriotic spirit of their grandfathers. We have pointed out the essential weakness of our position —a weakness which no construction of rine - of-battle ships, no activity in recruiting for the army or militia, will ever remedy. The Englishman of the present day has forgotten the use, of arms. Although . his frame be as powerful, his spirit as high; his energy as untiring, his enterprise as keen as ever, yet the knowledge whi c h hi s f ore f a th ers possessed of resisting an enemy in war has entirely passed away. The athletic sports of Rugby boys may be recorded to the delight of the public, and the undergraduates of our universities may show their pluck and stamina in rowing a four mile race on a stormy April day ; but the practice of football or of vying with the toughest watermen on the Thames is of little service to young men when their country is in danger, and they called upon suddenly to defend it. A great deal is said, and with justice, of the dawdling and puerile amusements of conti nentals in comparison with Englishmen. Lemonade and dominoes fill up the time which would be de voted to manly exercises in this country. But the use of arms and a love of seeing and joining in mili tary evolutions has been encouraged by the State among three generations of Frenchmen, and the con sequence is that the whole population is endowed with a military knowledge sufficient to turn them in a few weeks into fairly efficient soldiers. The same may be said in some degree of the whole German people. Though among the most domestic and peacefully disposed of Europeans, the necessities of their position have made them cultivate universally the rudiments of the art of war, and a month or two of danger would be enough to set on foot a force to be numbered by hundreds of thousands. What is the result of this preparedness ? A feel ing of self-confidence, of certainty that no enemy can succeed in inflicting a deadly blow on their territory, which gives both Frenchmen and Ger mans a dignified bearing in Europe. How dif ferent is the case with England! Here there is, on an average, a violent panic every two years about a French invasion ; and people in the country tear open their second day's newspaper to see whether it is not announced in large capitals that the French are established on the coast of Kent, and are engaged in bringing over their cavalry and artillery. lii the House of Commons the discussion of the subject is endless. The French have some guns that we have not, they have some shell that we have not; they have built so many sail of the line or frigates ; such fortifica tions have been added to Cherbourg; such a dock has been constructed at Brest. Fear of the French, and suspicion of what they are doing, are the predominant feeling in the minds of military and naval members; it finds expression at all times ; it is echoed by the Government, it is received with greedy anxiety by the public, and it becomes the common subject of conversation on the Con tinent. Who is there conversant in any way with foreigners who does not know that the effect on their minds is in the last degree humiliating to this country? The French feed their vanity with the tribute we offer them, and firmly believe that the day is soon to come when they are to avenge in London the loss of Canada and India and the fall of Napoleon. Even the more clear-sighted neutrals consider that the difficulties of a landing are only physical, and that if it were once accomplished the inhabitants of these islands could oppose no more resistance than so many Chinese. Prussia was over thrown in a single battle and held for seven years; even Spain, with its ranges of mountains and its indomitable guerillas, would have been subdued but for a foreign army. Suppose a French force once in England, Portsmouth and Plymouth seized, and the Channel made clear for French reinforce ments, what is there to prevent England being held by an enemy long enough for the destruction of her empire and the dictation of an ignominious peace ? This is the argument of foreigners who dislike us no more than all foreigners do, and have n o w i s h to see French power increased in Europe. Our readers may judge for themselves whether it is sound; this, however, is to be said—that it influ ences the policy of rulers, excites the ambition and cupidity of our neighbours, is at the bottom o f th e present unsettled state of Europe, and has cost us during the last year £23,300,000. The fact is, that the unerring judgment of man kind tells them that mere standing armies and fleets are not a sufficient defence of nations. A mere artificial organization which may be demolished by a campaign, a pestilence, or a tempest—which some event like an Indian mutiny may cause to be wholly transported from the land it was raised to defend— does not give a fit security to the people, who may at any moment be deprived of its services. There can be only one true defence of a nation like ours —a large and permanent volunteer force, supported by the spirit and patriotism of our young men, and gradually indoctrinating the country with military knowledge. We are the only people in the world who have not such a force in one form or another. There are the Americans at 3,000 miles distance from Europe, and without an enemy or a rival on their own continent. Yet they keep up a militia which can muster several hundred thousands strong, and on some occasions New York wears the aspect of a European metropolis, such is the parading, drumming, and firing. The result of this is to be seen in the confidence they have in their own strength, though without either army or navy, according to our notions of such forces. But at a meeting held in St. Martin's-hall on Saturday Sir Alan M'Nab cited an instance which still more closely interests us. He spoke of th e Cana dian militia and th e i r services in the war of 1812. When Bonaparte was marching his forces on Russia the ambitious President, Mr. Madison, took advantage of the supposed embarrassment of England to attempt the conquest of Canada by an American army. Total defeat, however, awaited them, and General Hull surrendered with his whole force to Sir Isaac Brock. But of what was the victorious army composed ? Of Canadian Militia and volunteers ; for when the war broke out the British " had not in Canada 900 men of all arms above the city of Montreal." May we some day have in this country a force as useful and patriotic And though every Englishman may well feel proud of the gallant army which has fought in India ; though the words of Lord Ellen borough will speak to their hearts when he said that 'with such troops we could engage any other in the world with the absolute certainty of success, yet we must once more raise our voices in favour of those local and domestic levies which will be the best support to a nucleus of Indian heroes. We know that if the hour of danger should come volun teers would rush forward by hundreds of thousands ; but it is to obviate such a panic that we would ask for restoration of what may be called the theold speedy national eedy force of the country. It is not Line regiments — it is not exactly Militia that we want—but men of ordinary occupations trained by a certain amount of drill to support the regular armed force either in the field or the fortress. There is plenty of wealth and plenty of leisure for the formation of such corps, and the metropolis alone could furnish a contingent strong enough to garrison any two naval ports of the kingdom. NEW STREET FROM COVENT GARDEN TO THE STRAND.—The wor ks of a portion of the above new street are now progressing with a considerable amount of vig our. On its western side, near to St. Michael's Church, a very large block is being _proceeded with, from the d es i gns of Mr. Charles Gray. in plan, a decided imp rovement will be affected, as regards the approach to the street from the upper end, the corner of the block being well rounded.

" 7d i th - re aNbostehnienegowf e a x s c m it o e re me n n o t ti o c u e t ab o l f e do lak orsil cincts of the Palace of Westminster, when the hour • for Ministerial explanations had struck. There were few strange faces in the galleries, no mur muring crowd in the Hall, no hushed inipatien ue at the doors, no shuddering expectation --in the lo11“p- • Tf, was not, as on the memorable occasion _Hate and simultaneous evacuation of the Papal States by the occupying forces was announced to Europe with all the pomp, pride, and circumstance of a Disraeli's measured music, and a Malmesbury's splendid negligence of phrase. Distance lends dignity to these explanations. All Europe is on tiptoe to catch an echo from the British Delphi; but the Island itself is familiarly incredulous, and as you approach the very temple you find the native population amused but unbe lieving. It is the old story of Renza vcduta fede perduta. The frequenters of the mysteries preserve a religious silence while the Ministers of the Crown are uttering a mechanical voice from behind the bar, and laugh in their sleeves at the so lemnity which imposes on a world of willing hopes. In sober truth, the apathy and indifference which waited the long-deferred vaticinations of her Ma jesty's Government last night are only too easily accounted for. It is not that our Tory pastors have used Wolf so often and so idly that no one is afraid, but that they have cried Peace so feebly and so falsely that even their silence is less alarming than their speech. If any doubt survived in factious breasts of the temper and sagacity with which a Tory Government contemplates a question in the issues of which nothing less than European peace and freedom and the strict neutrality of England are involved, assuredly that doubt is now dispelled. One-half at least of Mr. Disraeli's deliverance, spoken in a subdued and almost sonorous tone, as of despairing expostulation with " some persons unknown," was confined to a summary of what we may call the published history of the Italian question since New Year's Day, and it naturally possessed the peculiar interest of a story which has no merit but it s pl o t, an d o f whic h the plot is known. It was only when he approached the two cardinal points on which the crisis of the moment turns—viz., the disarmament of France and. Austria, and the admission of Sardinia to the Congreis—that the first taste of something more pungent than a rechaufe was vouchsafed to public curiosity, and that the policy -of our present Ministers pierced through the flimsy reticence with a noxious and nauseous aroma of insincerity and mischief. Ingenuity the most supple and feline cannot escape a laboured and ineffective air of hesitation and embarrassment, when it would fain disguise a policy it dare not avow, under a fancy dress of feelings it is forced to assume. Through an affected inclination to speak with open sympathy of Italy, a real disposition to act in cordial secrecy with Austria is dimly and darkly discovered. Through all those liberal antics the cloven foot of Castlereagh peeps awkwardly out, and the trip ping heels of Neo-Toryism htive the fine old Tory limp of other days. Such information as Mr. Disraeli affords is, we flatter ourselves, tolerably known evento the most carele s s o f our readers, but we are willing to repeat it for what it is worth. France and Austria accept the principle of disarmament, but the mode is not yet agreed upon. Sardinia dis sents to the principle, because, as our Ministers believe, she is not admitted to the Congress. In these few words the sum and substance of Mr. Disraeli's statement is contained, and if the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had, in his capacity of Go vernment organ t played no other voluntary than this, we should certainly have abstained from any pedal bass accompaniment on our own account. But the soul of goodness in things evil is perceptible in the indiscretions even of adepts who tell truth by stealth, and blush to find it known. It is due to Mr. Disraeli to remember that his explanations require to be read between the lines ; his most admiring hearers are conscious of a men tal process of turning the polished phrases inside out in order to get at the meaning unexpressed. But last night he was almost incredibly frank, once or twice ; he commended the ' dignified con ciliation" of Austria, and described the conduct of Sardinia as " embarrassing, perplexing, and even ambigaous." Mr. Gladstone drew the German sting from this censure and this praise when he suggested in the form of a dilemma that either there was " much that is unknown to us in the meritorious conduct of Austria and in that which is questionable on the part of Sardinia, er else that the spirit in which our Government has dealt with both parties has not been one of entire impar tiality." Thanks, however, to the laudable frank ness of Ministers, we are not left to a dilemma to detect their " entire impartiality" in the present European crisis. We trust the constituencies to whom Lord Malmesbury and his colleagues are about to appeal will well and carefully weigh the concluding paragraphs of Mr. Disraeli's speech. They are but the faintest possible echo of the Aus trian harangues in the Upper House, but they give us to understand palpably enough that in the opinion of her Majesty's present advisers an Italian war is a European war, and that any attack upon Austria " beyond the precincts of Italy" implicates the most urgent interests of England. The Chancellor of the Exchequer assures us in almost as many words that the safety of the Austrian Government is identified with the dearest principles of civilisa tion. This is only an offic ial and. Tory way of hinting that England may be called upon to waste her blood and her treasure on behalf of Austrian interests in South Germany, and to save bankrupt despotism from being sold us. We fancy the English people are doubtfully inclined to prop up a power whose moral assets are a league of dark ness with the Papacy—whose material assets are assignats and armies—and whose actual subsistence from day to day is sustained by the wholesale plunder of fiduciary deposits. We trust the common sense and honest feeling o our countrymen will now perceive in what sort of keeping the peace and freedom of Europe and the strict neutrality of England are placed at this anxious instant. It was reserved for the chiefs of the liberal and independent party in the House of Com mons to indicate the character of that great assembly of freemen in the face of Europe. Mr. Disraeli, it is true, emitted an empty platitude about the supe rior might of public opinion, which was probably somewhat more novel and s t r iki ng when it was, we will not say originally, enunciated by Lord Palmer ston half a century ago. Tory homage to public opinion bears a sad resemblance to the proverbial tribute of vice to virtue. Homage to public opinion from the lips of the ardent apologists and ready champions of Austria is to our thinking curiously misplaced and ill-timed. At any i ate the public opinion of England found no recognisable expres sion last night in the fatuity and insolence of that Hospital of Incurables which is known to the Commons as " in another place," and which, if its obstinacy in some politics bore any analogy to its infatuated talk on foreign affairs, would soon be " another place" no more. Thank Heaven we have a House of Lords—that is only a House of Lords be the . public sen timent wherever last night's discussion in that painted chamber is read to-day. For if whispering courtiers, and dynastic go-hetweens, and diplomatic jugglers hold the brief of Austria in the house of hereditary un-wisdom, yet among the representa tives of the people, who, after all, do hold the purse strings, and bring giddy rulers to account, the heart and the mind of England will, we confidently anticipate, find eloquent and authoritative voices in June next, as last night. AMUSEMENTS IN PAS.sION WEEK. Passion Week may be regarded as the general festival of the " entertainers," when dramatic per formances are interdicted by the stern authority of the Lord Chamberlain, and the thousand pleasure seekers constantly on the look out for amusement rush to any place where for a couple of hours they may find a refuge from ennui and boredom. Mr. and Mrs. German Reed were to appear at the Olympic, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul at Sadler's Wells, and that undying evergreen, Mr. Ada ms , was to have exhibited his orrery at the Haymarket. n ßu g t morningythesetesridganyatureof m anr.official Bodham D docum o e n n n t, e be t a h r - i licenser of plays, was received b y each of the entre preneurs,'e setting forth that the advertised per formances were illegal, perf_ormances within the walls of a theatre during Passion Week being negatived by law, and none of the above-named music license, under which th e buildingsproposed having a entertainment could be ' given. In obedience to this edict, Mr. and Mrs :German Reed did not attempt to open the Olympic, and they will have to submit to a heavy loss incurred for advertising, printing, rent, &c., through the enforcement of an absurd law, and the reprehensible tardiness of the Lord Chamberlain's officials, whose admonitory no ti ce was no t rece i ve d until the ' actual day of opening. Of the course pursued by the others who were honoured by an official warning we know nothing, but it is obvious that the absurdity of the law is only equalled by the preposterous manner in which it is administered. An entertainment given by people whose well-known names are sure and cer tain guarantees of its respectability, is permissible in a " hall," would be permissible in the Argsll rooms, or any place which has a music and dancing license, and yet is tabooed in a theatre, a place where, as it is well known, music and dancing are never carried on.
