Caldwell, C. 8., steamed into Spithead from the Channel yesterday morning by the eastern entrance in the order named. The Edgar having anchored, each succeed ing ship steamed to the westward of the flagship, and, rounding to, proceeded to their respective positions. The Queen took up the eastern berth of the line, ahead of the Edgar. To the westward of the Edgar the Algiers anchored, and the Mars took up the western berth. The four liners are thus moored in a line from southeast to northwest. The Mersey frigate brought up in deeper water on the outside of the line. Soon after the ships came in sight the customary salutes were exchanged be tween the Edgar, flagship of Rear-Admiral Erskine, and the Victory, flagship of the Commander-in- Chief, Vice-Admiral - Bruce. "The Sprightly and Pigmy steam tenders were' despatched from the harbour to Spithead on the fleet's arrival. The Howe, 120, lately launched from Pembroke dockyard, was to leave that port on Monday last had the - weather been at all 4vourable, but the wind continued S.W., blowing fresh throughout the day. Preparations were making to leave the following day, Tuesday, for Devonport. The Howe was launched on the 7th of last month, and consi dering her great size and the stormy weather which the riggers have had to contend with, the greatest praise is admitted to be due to Mr. Paul, assistant master attendant of Pembroke yard, under whose command they have done wonders in hastening her fitment for the cruise round. The Virago, 6, Commander Dunn, remains in rea diness at Pembroke to assist in navigating the Howe, 121, to Devonport.

She will be lengthened and have a new stern, simi lar to that which has been placed to the Rodney. The blocks are being prepared in No. 7 dock at Portsmouth for the reception of the Victoria, 121, screw. Her Majesty's Royal paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. the Hon. J.

Tarletou, C. 8., commenced shipping ber boilers in the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday. Bails were unbent on Tuesday on board that por tion of the Channel squadron which arrived in Ply mouth Sound the same day from Lisbon, and mea sures are in progress for their immediate refitment. Those ships previously in the Sound sent up top gallantmasts and yards, and loosed sails to dry. The Conqueror, 101, Capt. Sotheby, s t eame d into • llamoaze and brought up off Keyham.; she was appointed to go into dock yesterday (Wednesday). The sailing ship Albion, 90, was brought to the Devonport dockyard on Tuesday and placed in the basin, preparatory to being converted into a screw. The Rcyal George, 104, was taken from Devon port dockyard on Tuesday, and placed in Keyham basin under the shears.. Fifty shipwrights, 10 joiners, 12 smiths, 1 plum ber, and 11 labourers will be discharged from Dcvun• port do3liyard on Saturday. The Russian frigate A4;kold, in Plymotith Sound, saluted the flag of Sir C. Fremantle, K.C.8., on Tuesday, on the arrival of the Admiral from Lis bon. The compliment was duly acknowledged by the Royal Albert, 121. His Imperial French Majesty's steamer Le Corse left Plymouth Sound on Tuesday for her destination. The screw steamships Trafalgar, 90, Capt. E. G. Fanshawe, and the Centurion, 80, Capt. George E. Patey, left Plymouth Sound yesterday morning, probably for Lisbon. Seventeen of the crew of the hired transport Havering, stranded at Plymouth, were brought be fore the Stonehouse magistrates on Tuesday, on a charge of insubordination and refusal to do duty, and were sentenced to two months' imprisonment at Exete'r. We have received the following letter from her Majesty's screw troopship Simoon, dated " Singa pore, February 22, 1860" :—" We arrived yester day, 41 days from the Cape and 93 from England. AU well- on board. We proceed in a few days for China. In Banco Straits we fell in with the Ring dove, and gave her a tug along, as she was short of fuel. The Renard sailed from here to-day for Penang to tow up a troopship, which the Scout will convoy to the northward. The Pearl leaves in a day or two with the 44th Regiment, half the regiment being on board the Pearl and the remainder in a transport. The Ringdove is refitting, and when complete goes to Penang to forward along any other ships. The Esk is the senior officer's ship here. We are the first batch of soldiers out, and, as operations do not commence before the middle of April, we shall be in plenty of time. The mail steamer starts to-day, so we are lucky in having time to write home. Our passage from England has been good; no lives or spars lost, nor sails split. Off the Cape we had a shower of ice, and pieces fell pes, weighing . from three to six o unces. in ragged sha Several men were hurt, but luckily none were aloft at the time or they must have been knocked off the yards. It lasted only about a minute ; had it been of any long oontinuance it must have ent our sails from the yards, besides doing other damage. As the ice fell on the decks it sounded below like shot being rolled about overhead. No one on board ever saw o r h ear d of the like before, and it, as you may imagine, q u it e aston i shed us. It was no hailstorm, I assure you." Circulars were yesterday issued through the de partments of Woolwich Arsenal announcing that the general business of the establishment will be closed for the week on Thursday evening, and will not be resumed until the following Monday morning. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt F. A. B. Craufurd to the Archer, vice Courtenav, invalided ; Corn. E. W.

Henry, arrivc d at Graves end yesterday, from Calcutta, with sick and ohs:- abled troops on board, and a numbir of soldiers of various regiments whose time of service has ex pired, and who are sent home to be discharged. The troops embarked at Calcutta on the 23d of De cember and sailed the following day, the only land touched being St. Helena, which was reached on the 12th of February, the passage to the Thames occupying 99 days. The number who embarked on board was three officers, 127 non- commissioned offi cers and men, 16 military lunatics, 19 invalid sea men of the Indian navy, and 16 women and chil dren. The troops belong to the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Medical Staff Corps, 6th Dragoon Guards (Carbineers), 3d Buff's, Sth Fusileers, 19th, 34th, 35th, 38th, 48th, 53d, 54th, 60th Rifles, 80th and 99th Regiments, the whole being under the command of Capt.

During the voyage there were 11 deaths on board—namely, seven sol diers, two invalid seamen, one lunatic, and one woman. The sick and wounded troops and the insane men were landed yesterday afternoon, and forwarded to Fort Pitt, Chatham, where they were medically inspected by Surgeon-Major Prender gast, M.D., and the staff at that establishment, when 30 men were ordered into hospital, the insane men being taken to the lunatic hospital; The troops not requiring medical treatment were sent to St. Mary's Invalid Establishment to await their discharge. The Royal Artillery invalids were for warded to Woolwich, and the naval invalids will be landed at Blackwall. FRANCE AND BELGIUM. The following is the despatch addressed by the French Government to its diplomatic agents abro•id, in order to reassure the Powers as to the intentions of France in respect of Belgium and the left bank of the Rhine : " Paris, March 19, 1860. " Monsieur,—ln the despatch which you have dome me the honour to write me you announce that you have forwarded to -- the communication of the Emperor's Government, under date of the 13th of this month, relative to Savoy and the county of Nice, and you add that the principal Secretary of State of reserves to himself the taking advice of the Council before making known to us the an swer of the Government. In the meanwhile I think it desirable to resume with you the discus sion of a point which I merely indicated in my pre vious correspondence, and to insist especially on an objection which was brought forward in the dis cussions to which the question gave rise. " Analogies, in fact, are alleged, and these are a starting-point for distrust. But, do these analogies rest on facts, and does there truly exist a relation between our position with regard to the Alps and our situation on the Rhine? Without doubt the treaties-of 1815 had constituted in the North a state of things not without resemblance and connection uith that which still.exists at this day on the side of the Alps. The kingdom of the Low Countries had been crealid with a view similar to that with which the territorial limits of Sardinia had been settled. Eike Sardinia, it had the custody of posi tions which permitted it to deliver up the ap proaches and entrances of our territory to foreign armies. " After a duration of 15 years the arrangements have been greatly modified, with the concurrence of the great Powers themselves. Belgium has been formed, and its neutrality, acknowledged by Europe , has covered from that time all that part of our frontier which was exactly the most exposed, and for which France might feel the most reasonable anxiety. " In a word, whatever of a menacing nature for us, in the North, was presented by the treaties of 1815 has been made mere matter of history by the Con feience of London. We have no longer on that side any sort of guarantee to demand, and onr plan of defence, supported by our most im portant strong places, shelters us completely from dangers analogous to those of which we should have more than ever to take account at another point, if Piedmont, with its new propor tions, remained in possession of territories which give access to the very heart of the empire. On the Rhine the peril has disappeared, while it has increased in the Alps. " Thus the situations the similarity of which it is attempted to show present no point of resem blance, and the potent considerations which oblige us to claim the annexati3n of Savoy are without any possible application to the state of things in the east and in the north of France. This combina tion will complete that which Europe itself has adopted by effacing the last trace of stipulations manifestly conceived in a spirit of distrust and aggressiveness towards us ; and, far from . finding t h h a e v r e e i o n z r raeiun t c s o e f e d i i n sq i u t i a e t n u e d w e , G co n e d r t i a o n n y w o ill e o s n t l a y . billty and duration of the peace.

The collection of camellia japonica or Japan roses, and many rare and beautiful plants from China, Australia, and New Zealand, are now in fine flower. The recent addition' to the museums are of a highly attractive character. NEW CANNON.—On Monday and Tuesday last experiments were made at the Mound, Woolwich, with a new gun manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Hughes, Newport, Monmouthshire. The gun is of semi-steel iron (homogeneous), and is of the same internal diameter and bore as Sir W. Armstrong's 12 -pounder. The rounds were fired as follows :-10 rounds of each up to, and inclusive of, 8 shots, making 80 rounds; and when this point had been attained the copper venting of the gun, which had been put in by the authorities at Woolwich, gave way, and prevented the completion of the programme in tended for 100 rounds. The gun was carefully examined, and has not sustained the slightest damage from the severe tests with which it was proved.

On their first tack they fell short othim, but so cl ose th at they heard the poor fellow call, " Mind you reach me the next tack." On coming up again they were able to throw him over a rope, but from ex haustion he was incapable of laying-hold of it, and at the same moment was engulphed by the heavy swell. Sharrock and Coffin have left widows and children.

Mr. Home, too, the cele brated Spirit -Rapper, was among the most atten tive (and appropriate). .hearers on the -foremost bench. The success of this lecture was so decided that M. Louis Blanc has already accepted an en gagement to deliver four lectures on " The Salons of Paris in the 18th Century" (a capital subject) at the Marylebone Institution, and it was whispered that he had received pressing invitations from the great towns in the North. It is sometimes the hon our and good fortu ne of England•--the . sanctuary of political suifcrers—.to assimilate, as it were, their genius, and to make it, by a sort of transfusion, her own. Thus it is that M. Louis Blanc is added to the ranks of the choicest interpreters of our . lan guage, and we believe that it is in common with all our countrymen that we heartily wish him success in the honourable and interesting career which he commenced on Tuesday night at St. John's wood, and which he will not soon be permitted by his friends and admirers in England to bring to a close. —Daily News. AFRICAN _EXPLORATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—The interesting account of the recent dis coveries of Dr. Livingstone ire the vicinity, of the Lakes Shirwa and Nyinyesi (or Nyassa), read be fore the Royal Geographical Society at its last meeting gave rise to some 'observations in con nexion with the expedition about to start, under the command of Captains Speke and Grant, it con tinuation of the. previous - explorations of Captain Speke to the north of Lake Nyanza, the region of the supposed sources of the Nile. Taking the warmest interest in the success of this great enter prise, and having already submitted a plan of co operation to the society under the auspices of which and fhe patronage of the Foreign -office the expe dition is to proceed, the chairman (Sir R. Murchi son) expressed a hope that her Majesty's Govern ment would furnish me with the support ne cessary to carry it into execution. Not having seen any notice of that meeting in The 'Sun, I venture to furnish you with the substance of the remarks that I made on that occasion, and trust that, affecting as they do not only the success ol the expedition, but the personal safety of the 'gal lant leaders, you will allow them publicity through the medium of your widely-circulated columns. From an experience of five years of the region in question, I am enabled to state that the tribes to the north differ greatly in character from those to the south of the Equator. Having had little or no intercourse with traders and strangers, they are, in addition to being more fierce and warlike, in the last degree suspicious of and hostile to the en trance of any into their territories; and not only 's their hand lifted against the strange white man, but against every one not of their own immediate tribe or locality. To enable any one successfully to penetrate into their country coyrage is not tise only requisite, a tolerably intimate knowledge ol their language and customs is indispensable. Having acquired this knowledge, which has en abled me hitherto to meet all emergencies, I feel convinced that I could render material assistance to the expedition. Unless Captain Speke and his party happen to arrive at Belignan, on the Nil e , i n December or January no boats would be available within hundreds of miles to convey them to Khar tum, in the absence of which any attempt to march down the valley of the Nile would be inviting almost certain destruction, either at the hands of the warlike aborigines or by starvation, the whole neighbouring district being worse provided with anything in the shape of food than any other part of the interior known to me. It will be neces sary, therefore, for a couple of well provisioned boats, with an experienced end armed escort, suffi ciently strong to repel any attack from the almost ohs ays half-famishing natives of this country, to await the advent of the party at the Upper Cata racts, in about 3 deg. 30 N. lat. I propose, under these eircumetanees„conditionally upon the Govern ment defraying the actual outlay, to provide the requisite boats, provisions, and escort, and to place my knowledge and experience at the disposal of the expedition, independently of any remuneration for my personal services and the hardship and risk in- 1 separable from such 'an undertaking. Feeling sure that, apart from the prospective benefits to commerce and civilisation likely to flow from the successful accomplishment of this great scheme, the sympathies of Englishmen must be en listed in favour of an expedition having for its ob ject the solution of that problem—the discovery of the sources of the Nile—which. has baffled the in genuity of man for ages past—l have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient servant, . JOHN PETHERICK, F.R.G.S., Her Majesty's Consul for Soudan. PilN AND 310ROCt0. ._~._ The Madrid Gazette publishes the text of the pre liminaries of peace with Morocco, which hare re ceived the Royal sanction : Leopold O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan Count of Lucena, &c., and Mul e y Abb as, Collett:, &c., duly authorised by her Majesty the Queen of the Spains and by his Majesty the King of Morocco, have agreed on the following p re li m i nary bases for r the conclusion of the treaty of peace that is to put an end to the war between Spain and Morocco. Art. 1. His Majesty the Kiri; of Morocco cedes to her Majesty the Queen of the Spains, in perpe tuity, full possession and sovereignty, all the terri tory comprised from the sea, following the heights of Sierra Bullones, as far as the road of Anghera. Art. 2. In the same manner his Majesty the King of Morocco undertakes to concede, in perpetuity, along the coast of the deean to Santa Cruz, the Pe quena, the territory sufficient for the formation of an establishment like that which Spain possessed there formerly. Art. 3. His Majesty the King of Morocco will ratify, within the briefest period possible, the con vention relative to the places of Melilla, 'EI Penon, and Alhucemas, which the plenipotentiary of Spain and Morocco signed at. Tetuan on the 21th ofAugust, 1859. Art. 4. As a just indemnity f or the expenses of the war, his Majesty the King of Morocco engages to pay to her Majesty the Queen of the Spains the sum of 20 millions of piastres. The mode of paying this sum will be stipulated in the treaty of peace. Art. 5. The town of Tetuan, with the whole of the territory that formed the ancient pashalie of the same name will remain in the possession of her Ma jesty the Queen of Spain as security for the execu tion of the obligation specified in the aforesaid arti cle until the complete pay men t of the war indemnity. Immediately after the said payment shall have been made in full, the Spanish troops will evacuate the said town and territory. Art. 6. A treaty of commerce shall be concluded, in which will be stipulated, in favour of Spain, all the advantages that would have been or shall here after be conceded to the most favoured nation. Art. 7. To avoid, in future, events like those that occasion the present war, the representative of Spain at Morocco may reside at Fez, or at the spot best suited for the protection of Spanish interests, and for the maintenance of good relations between the two States. Art. 8. His Majesty the Emperor of Morocco will authorise the establishment at Fez of a house of Spanish missionaries, like that which exists at Tangiers. _ _ Art. 9. Her Majesty the Queen of the Spains will immediately appoint two plenipotentiaries, who, with two others appointed by his Majesty the Em peror of Morocco, will have to draw up the defini tive articles of the treaty of peace. These plenipo tentiaries will meet in the towns of Tetuan, and their labours will hive to be completed with the least possible delay, the time in no case to exceed 30 days' reckoning from this date. March 25, 1860. LEOPOLD O'DONNELL, MULEY ABBAS. The preliminary bases of the treaty of peace having been agreed upon and signed between Spain and Morocco by Leopold O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan, Capt.-General in Chief of the Spanish army in Africa, and Maley Abbas, caliph of the empire of Morocco and Prince of the Algarbe, all hostilities will cease from this day between the two armies, the bridge of Bureja being the line that is to divide the two armies. The undersigned will give the most peremptory orders to their respective armies, and severely ch astise any one contravening them. Muley Abbas engages to prevent the hostilities of the Kabyles, and if by chance they should nevertheless commit any, he authorises the Spanish army to chas tise them, without the peace being considered to be thereby infringed. March 25, 1860. LZOPoLD O'DONNELL, MULEY ABBAS. THE NEW TREATY WITH FRANCE. 13IRNIINGHAAI, WEDNESDAY. At a meeting of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce held this day, the following reply was agreed upon to certain questions recently submitted by the Board of Trade : " 1.- This Chamber considers that the duties upon half-manufactured articles—such as iron and steel ; iron, steel, brass, and copper w i re • b rass an d copper sheets; iron and brass tubes for boilers, steam, and gas, &c. ; and tin plates—should be levied by weight; and that the duties upon all articles en tirely manufactured.should be taken ad valorem. "2. This Chamber is unable to give the average price of the manufactured articles known as hard ware.' The goods are so varied, and the qualities of each single article so numerous that any approxis mate calculation would be of little assistance to my Lords ; for instance, brass locks, which are made from 93. to 1802. per dozen and upwards ; steel pens, from 11d. per gross to 13s. 6d. and upwards; fire irons, from 10d. per set to 20s. and upwards plated candlesticks, from 4s. per pair to 80s. and upwards; japanned tea-trays, from Bd. per dozen to 80s. and upwards. Numerous other articles might be mentioned as further illustrating the im possibility of affording any information to my Lords on this subject. " 3. This Chamber is of opinion that the French Treaty will be of little benefit to the manufacturers of Birmingham in the event of a duty at all ap proaching 30 per cent, being levied upon manufac tured articles, as such a duty would afford the French manufacturer a protection which would prevent the importation into France of most of the leading articles of this district: " Upon the articles known as hardwares this Chamber is of opinion that moderate duties,, such as those levied by the neighbouring countries of Belgium and Holland, would greatly benefit the trade of this locality. " This Chamber is of opinion that upon the articles enumerated in their reply No. 1, the fol lowing should be the maximum duties, viz.:— " Wire, iron, 6f. per 100 kilogrammes ; wire, steel, 10f. ditto ; wire, copper and brass, 10E ditto ; copper and brass sheets, 10f. ditto ; tubes, iron, 10f. ditto ; tubes, copper and brass, 15f. ditto ; tin plates, 6f. ditto, " The duty on iron, as stipulated in A r ti c l e 17 o f the Treaty, although considered by the manufac turers of this district as too heavy, will still allow the import of certain best brands, though probably only to a very limited extent. " In conclusion, this Chamber begs to direct the attention of my Lords to the fact that although an abolition of total prohibitions in the French tariff may benefit a few isolated branches of the manu factures of this district, they cannot forbear com paring the tariff of Belgium with that proposed by France, as they find, with much lower duties levied in Belgium upon articles known as ' hardware,' the demand for the products of this locality is exceed ingly limited, and with an ad valorem duty of 30 per cent. this Chamber feels convinced that the advantages Birmingham and the neighbourhood would derive from the new French tariff would prove exceedingly limited. "'With regard to the suggestions of my Lords that deputations should be sent to Paris on the subject of the treaty, the Council of this Chamber are of opinion that the branches of the trades re presented by them are too numerous to admit of the suggestion being carried into effect. The Council has, however, appointed a sub-committee to consi der the questions referred to by my Lords, and the committee will have much pleasure in affording any further information which may be required by them in the pending negotiations." PUBLIC WORKS AND PRIVATE EN TBRPRISE IN LYDIA. Yesterclzy the Cotton Supply Association pre sented to the Secretary of State for India in Coun cil the following memorial in favour of encourag ing the free application of English capital and skill to works of public utility in India To the Right Ron. Sir C. Wood, Bart., M.P., &c., 11;.:r Mdjesty's Secretary of State for India in Council. The Memorial of the Cotton Supply Association showeth, That your memorialists are of opinion that, look ing to the extensive area embraced by British India, and the enormous extent of works of public utility required to place that territory in even a proper state, in order that its resources may be fairly de veloped, it is manifestly impossible for the Govern ment, by its own efforts, to effect much in that direction, whilst it is equally clear that the surplus capital and free enterprise of Englaud, if made available; will with rapidity supply all those of such works as do not of necessity and exclusively belong to the operations of Government. That irrespective of the stupendous benefits which a speedy and extensive construction of works of the nature referred to in various parts of India would produce to the cotton trade, and therefore to the general community of this country, it is difficult to over rate the numerous civilising influences and solid advantages which would thereby necessarily flow to the native population, and especially when accompanied by the introduction there of a large body of English civil engineers and others of skill and education, such as would be employed by pri- Tate companies. That it is therefore a matter of the most vital and pressing importance to the best interests of both India and England that every possible facility should be afforded to those who are willing to take upon themselves the onerous task of raising capital in this country, and to apply it to purposes so pre eminently important as those before adverted to, whilst by the adoption of a liberal policy in such cases the Government will not only relieve itself of much anxiety and trouble, but be a considerable financial gainer, and at the same time secure the affection and loyalty of its subjects. That your memorialists have learnt with much satisfaction that an influential joint-stock company, established in London, under the name of the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company, have sub mitted to you a proposal to construct extensive works of irrigation, drainage, and navigation in Orissa, and to connect that territory with the port of Calcutta, requiring from Government no other assistance than the mere supply of all land requisite for such work. Your memorialists are assured \that a company already and favour ably known to the English public must neces sarily possess advantages for raising capital which could not appertain to a newly organised associa tion, and are, therefore, more likely to achieve that success which is all important in a pioneer enter prise intended to open up the way for a more gene ral and greatly extended application of the free skill, science, and capital of Britain to the regene ration of India. Your memorillists, therefore, most respectfully pray : 1. That the Right Hon. her Majesty's Secretary of State for India in Council will afford to the sub ject -matter of this memorial immediate and serious consideration, with a view to the adoption of prompt and energetic measures for the most com plete and rapid provision of works of irrigation and means of cheap transit in India, the want whereof at present prevents that country from producing an unlimited supply of cotton to the manufacturers of Great Britain, and from relieving the latter from an uncertain and perilous dependence upon the slave states of America. 2. That, as it is utterly impossible for Govern ment to construct throughout British India more than a small portion of the works in question, although they are essentially necessary to develop her agricultural and other resources, and to make her prosperous and contented, and able to bestow upon the people of this country those high com mercial benefits they have the right to expect from her direct union with England, and as it is equally clear that the surplus private capital, skill, and energy of Great Britain are capable, if properly applied, of producing such works with rapidity and 'advantage, every possible facility and encourage ment may be given by Government to all joint-stock companies formed in England who may seek to undertake the construction of well-selected, prac ticable, and useful projects of irrigation and navi ' gation, &c., in British India; and 3. That the proposal now submitted by the Madras Irrigation and Canal Compan for the ycon struction of work s o f i rr i gat i on, &c., in the districts of Orissa without a governmental guarantee may receive the most favourable consideration, and every proper encouragement and support be given to enable that company to enter upon the contem plated undertaking with the least possible delay and in a satisfactory manner, in order that others may, by their success, be induced to undertake other works of a like description by means of capi tal raised in the same way.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE POST-OFFICE AND THE NEWSPAPERS. The announcement made last night by the Secre tary of the Treasury respecting the Chancellor of the Exchequer's intention to abide by his decision with regard to the impressed newspaper stamp has given great dissatisfaction here. The Freeman' of this morning makes a fierce onslaught upon " the Hills," under whose influence Mr. Gladstone is charged as being ready to take the first step to wards the suppression of the newspaper " nuisance." After recapitulating the obvious inconveniences of the new system, the Freeman goes on to say : "Another of the Hill ideas is, to do away with the impressed stamp, and impose on publishers the tedious duty of fixing a penny head' on each paper which is sent by post, the effect of which will be to delay an ordinary publication half an hour to an hour, or to compel publishers to go to press an hour earlier, and without the later telegrams—another ingenious device for making the newspaper be deemed a ' nuisance,' by making it the vehicle of old, not late, news. The adoption of these Hill ideas will prove very perplexing to metropolitan_ news papers, but it will prove utterly ruinous to country journals, whose subscribers are for the most part not concentrated in towns, not accessible by rail ways, but scattered over the face of a country through which but one, or at most two, lines of railway run. The interest of the newspaper pro prietor is, however, the least important considera tion. The public, who pay for the Post-office establishment, have a right to the best service it can render; and in these days of telegrams, when the markets fluctuate with a rapidity almost miracu lous, and when early knowledge is wealth, the newspaper is an essential of s recess to the farmer and trader, and no tampering with it can be per mitted without producing a most injurious effect upon the material progress of the country. We commend this subject to the public consideration during the recess, with a view to having the Irish representatives instructed not to allow Mr. Hill to play- his pranks with freedom in this country, where we as yet have no universal substitute for the postal service." SPRING OPERATIONS. Although bitterly cold for the season,there has been a slight improvement in the weather since the commencement of the week. To be sure, there was a heavy fall of snow on the 2d of April, which com pletely capped the Dublin and Wicklow mountains ; but, as a set-off, there have been frequent bursts of warm sunshine, followed by the usual April showers. N. LOUIS BtiINC AS A LECTURER. If there be a true and imperishable alliance be ween two great ) nations it is the alliance of their noblest hearts and intellects, and we rejoice that this alliance at least should be gaining ground on both sides of the Channel, in spite of transient po litical misunderstandings. In France the language and literature of England are now more studied than ever, and many of the highest and most ac complished miads among our neighbours are en gaged, as jn a labour of love, in making the master pieces of our poets, philosophers and humorists, familiar to French readers. Whilst the son of the greatest French poet, Frangois Victor Hugo, is translating Shakspeare with an admirable zeal, enthusiasm, and patience; in England a brilliant French historian is ennobling the sadden leisure of his exile, and doing graceful homage to the lind of his adoption, by writing and speaking the English tongue with a polished ease, an idiomatic grace, and a classical felicity which many of our owu most practised and powerful writers are not ashamed to admire. Among the many Frenchmen who from time to time have sought a refuge on our shores from political vicissitudes, M. Louis Blanc has con ciliated an uncommon share of English, sympathy and esteem by the quiet dignity and the calm sim plicity of his life amongst us, and by the amiable perseverance with which he has created for him self in England almost a second mother coun try and a second mother tonglie—the country of freedom and the tongue" of freemen. No exile, it may be supposed, ever had a heavier load of pre judice and misrepresentation to bear than M. Louis Blanc when he first came here, and no one has ever more successfully converted prejudice into liking, and misrepresentation into warm regard. The truth is that M. Louis Blanc, though as true a French man and' patriot as ever, is now, after twelve years' residence in England, become so entirely one of ours, that after reading an English volume from his pen, and listening to an English lecture from his lips, we can scarcely believe that he is not one of ours by birth and race as he is by his stedfast at tachment, through good and evil report, to the principles of right and justice which En gland holds dear. Few among the vast audience which was gathered together on Tuesday night in the Assem bly-rooms, St. John'-s-wood, would have been sur prised by a display of 'moving eloquence had the lecture been delivered in the lecturer's own lan guage; nor would any reader of the " Histoire de I)ix Ans," and the " Histoire de la Revolution Francaise," have been content with any ordinary gratification from a famous master of all the secrets of style. But that a Frenchman should be able to manipulate and mould at will a language, so pro foundly different in form and structure, in its am plitude and variety, as the English from the French, and shot be able to combine with the en erg y an d abundan e the rugged force and deep emotion of the one, the luminous precision, the sparkling terse ness, the impetuous vivacity, the point and piquancy of the other—this is what we venture to say the most em4dent and friendly admirers of the lecturer never imagined. And yet this, and more than this, was actually accomplished. The gratified astonish ment with which the audience received the first sentence never for a moment languished, and from the beginning to the end the lecture was listened to in breathless and delighted silence, only broken as often as the speaker paused by a burst of sympa thetic cheers. The subject of the lecture, " The Mysterious Personages and Agencies in France towards the end of the Eighteenth Century," was happily selected. In our own enfeebled days mysterious personages and agencies of a milder sort are said to be extant in a few privileged coteries; but the men of whom M. Louis Blanc was to speak are better known as the forerunners of a Great Tribulation with which the world has not yet done ; and it was in glancing at the society that danced, and dallied, and disbe lieved on the threshold of the Revolution, that the lecturer, himself a son of the Revolution, carried into power and cast into exile by the Revolution, made•his audience feel the genius of France, with all her splendid errors and aspirations. Clearness and liveliness of narration, an epigrammatic turn, and a quick dramatic instinct, are the usual charac ieristi,cs even of indifferent French writers ; but in all these it is known that M. Louis Blanc excels, and he adds the higher qualities of earnest feeling and sincere faith in the nobler destinies of mankind. It is this ardent scorn of baseness, and this heart felt human charity, that give to the lecturer's richly modulated voice tones that thrill through an audi ence; and we may observe, by the way, that M. Louis Blanc's elocution, the intonation and pitch of the voice, the easy unembarrassed delivery, accompanied at fitting moments by a slight spon taneous action, is a study for public speakers. In his account of the " Convulsionnaires, and of the Roscrucians, of the sempiternal Count St. Germain, of St. Martin and Mesmer, and of the salons and alcoves in which the sorcerers and necromancers found their favourite adepts, the lecture brimmed, over with anecdote and illustration. It was a pic ture in which the lights and shadows are distributed with a cunning hand, and all the figures are in keeping —flashes of wit lighting up a distance of weighty and impressive thought. The sketch of Cagliostro was a chef d'oeuvre of brilliant narration, and the moral of his life and story was finely pointed by a burst of moral indignation at the wor ship of success, at which the British audience started the resp " o l i i i i si e vea g e t i Ly s t i a h s i l u n g and cheered of remorse. B w u i t t with all is only fair to M. Louis Blanc to state that the lecture was wholly free from any taint of political predi lections. It was the cultivated and informing talk of a man of the world, a man of genius and a true gentleman, on a subject which he knew by heart, and in this consisted its rare and peculiar charm. We have considered the first appearance of this distinguished man as an English lecturer worthy of something more than a passing, record, and it only , retre,:ns for us to say that M. Louis Blanc was in troduced to - the audience in a few kindly and grace ful words of welcome by Mr. Hepworth Dixon, and that among the noted celebrities present around the 315 as 285 444 --s the but sold ;ood ney. le or ü blin, Tho g ; age d 0.
