Price 21s and 31s 6d each, which may be had at the Box Office, at the Theatre. thoughts were concentrated on the best mode of evading the difficulty. The despatches from India were a perfect God-send. Sir JAMES OUTRAN was the Deus ex macitinel, who extricated them from the painful dilemma. Like the beef-eater in the " Critic," he could command them all " to drop their swords and daggers." The catastrophe was doubtless very humiliating, but it was better than a decisive defeat, or being c pelled to vote against their conscience. An om d they compelled their would-be leaders to withdraw the vaunted res olution that was to reinstate Lord PALMEB.STON in power, together with the newly-formed coalition. The well-considered arrangements, the carefully weighed compromises all tumbled to the ground at one fell swoop. The Chancellor of the Exche quer gave a dignified assent to the ignominious withdrawal of the resolution, and he was right, [ for the most adverse division could scarcely have damaged the conspirators so greatly as the lame and impotent conclusion of their scheme. The I ,eople felt this, and _the Commons, too, for on leaving the House the Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. DISRARLI, was loudly and very heartily cheered 1 That the actors in the political farce are pro foundly abashed is manifest from the miserable attempts which they are making to excuse, or rather to extenuate the grave mistake into which they were betrayed. Lord SHAFTESBURY, who hesitated not to make an appeal to the Deity that he was not actuated by party feeling in proposing the Resolution in the Lords, has vainly attempted to whitewash himself by declaring that he had not attended a political meeting at Cambridge House on the Sabbath. He has not, however, ventured to assert that he was not on that day visiting at that mansion while the pro ject was under discussion, and that be was not the first to act in carrying out the cunningly-planned scheme. He has solaced his conscience with this specious excuse ; but the religious party, by whom he desires to be regarded as a " shining light," will require something more before they can be satisfied, or their quondam idol be rein stated in the shrine he once occupied. He heard Lord DERBY'S splendid address. his He own heard the uct i m putations so freely cast u p on cond in becoming the champion of that factious plot, concocted on " The Lonn's Day," and he did not then, nor after many days of chewing his ruefii cud, attempt to make any denial—that might have elicited a very inconvenient explanation. The Times, too, has also discovered its mis take, and is compelled to make very damaging admissions. It feels that it has been led into a very awkward scrape by the " Cerberus Club," and is therefore desirous of getting out of its im prudent escapade with the least possible damage. It confesses with an affectation of candour that, as a party move, the motion was not successful ; adding—" the army would not fight, and the gene rals had nothing to do but to draw off with as little loss as possible," supplementing it with this very remarkable paragraph. " One thing is, however, clear, and that is, that in the present House, indi vidual influence goes for very little. It was assumed that if Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Lord PALMERSTON could only be brought to unite, the destruction of the DERBY Government was certain. Well, the dreaded conjunction has taken place, and the DERBY Go vernment is, at least, as strong as before." This confession, wrung from it by the irresistible facts, must have been very painful, but it was indispen sable. We do not despair of seeing the Times again performing another act of tergiversation, and following in the current of public opinion, by giving strenuous support to the Administration 1 It has also discovered that the discus sion, albeit it cost a week of very valuable time, was not without its utility. We cordially concur in that opinion. It has destroyed many prejudices, has placed public men in a very striking point of view, and has given the present Government a prolonged tenure of office. That was certainly worth the time spent. ft has removed many a delusion, and shown that henceforward the nation will look to measures, not men, and will seek to promote the , interests of the community rather than of a famil3 clique, or of—politically speaking—an unprin cipled coalition. ............O.N.r.__ that same hour had struck for them for precisely the same movement, were, equally as a matter of course, unprepared. Nobody had thought at all of the obviously inevitable provision. Nobody but this master in the Navy, Mr. R. W. ROBERTS, then fortunately for England, stationed in the Black Sea, in command of H.M.'s war-steamer Cyclops. He had thought of it, however, betimes, and had not only thought of it, but had already acted upon his own calculations. He purchased with his own money materials for the construction of the Flotilla, by stagings of timber laid upon the long narrow caiques of the country, and there fastened together in the form of rafts--safe, capa cious, and manageable. When everybody else was bewildered at, the apparently dead-lock sud denly arrived at for the expedition, the master-in command of the Cyclops stepped in with his proposition. "If you do this," said Sir GEORGE BROWN, " you will deserve the thanks of the whole army." And as Mr. °AILEY simply adds—" He did it." He did it only, however, by an almost preternatural exer tion—by such superhuman exertions that his stalwart frame bent at last to the shock, his hale constitution was broken by it. When the last nail was driven, when the last plank was fixed, when the flotilla was actually completed at the end of a single week, to the astonishment of those who had regarded the notion of its construction from the first as simply impossible and preposterous, poor ROBERTS fainted away, and for several hours re mained in a state of insensibility. Is it sur prising that the strong man reeled under the weight of the herculean task which he had undertaken and Which he had achieved, that the gallant SALT, 'then in the full vigour of his lusty manhood, should have thus actually fainted away "at the moment of its complete accomplishment ? Read in a few words the manner in which he had accomplished it. Mr. CATLEY is speaking : "He performed, by a superhum an strain of energy, what every one thought madness to at tempt. He did it by working night and day with head and hands, heart and soul in the effort. Here and there and everywhere, with his shirt-sleeves up to his shoulders, working like a possessed Berserk of old. Marking timber, sawing plank, driving bolt, with a medley crew of ship's carpenters, common soldiers, Turks, Greeks, and Armenians. Stimulating this man bypraise, that man by bribes, the other by threats—and the whole by his example. He had declared war with Impossibility, and how he wrestled with his incubus enemy, drenched in sweat, and choked in dust under a' broiling sun, in the arsenal on the Golden Horn, made the men who saw him marvel. Lord Lyons came down from Varna to see what progress he would make. At first the Admiral looked on as Ulysses might have lo eked on the toil of Sisy Ans. It was wonderful energy hopelessly employed. He shook his head and said : `You have undertaken to) much. You will deceive both yourself and us ! Here is the third day and you have not finished one pontoon, and still you talk of completing the wiaole in seven days !' Mr. Roberts replied : "If I attempted to finish one at a time I should certainly fail. I am getting the several parts ready , for the whole ; and that done, shall put them to eether all at once.' On the fifth day Admiral Lyons said : ' Well, Roberts, I'm quite satisfie I now I I see you know what you are about, and will get through it. There is no use in my waiting auy longer.' " I Nor was there, as the event proved—fur the thing was done. Long afterwards, when Mr. ROBERTS had returned home invalided—dying —unrecompensed —Len]. LYONS, on the 3d of February, 1856, wrote to him—" I really do not know what we could have done without you." Lord LYONS wrote to Mr. CA.YLEY— " Without ROBERTS'S pontoons we could not have gone to the Crime). this season." Admiral LYONS wrote to Captain DACRES—"LIrcI RAGLAN, Sir GEORGE BROWN, and I wrote as strongly as possible in his (ROBERTS') favour, and I will do so again this very post." Lord RAGLAN himself at the time said, to Admiral LYONS -" How is it, among all the promotions that have come out, there is no mention of ROBERTS, who really did more for us than anybody." That was the dee tinet avowal of the Commander-in-Chief —an avowal extorted from him by the omission alluded to as glaring on everybody's notice on the arrival at the seat of war of the first batch of promotions. Poor ROBERTS had written in a letter to his wife on the 6th of September, in a cheering postscript. " We are safe to win a Commander's commis sion." Nothing of the kind. And, why ? Because at the head of the Board of Admiralty there was such a man as Sir OfEARLES WOOD ! Is there needed distinct and positive proof of this,? We give it. When ROBERT ROBERTS was slowly dying, broken in spirit as well as in constitution by his magnificent but self-destructive services to his country, and by his despicable and dastardly treatment in return, he receives one fine day in answer to his last earnest and manly appeal to the Admiralty , for some substantial recognition of those services, the sub joined cruel, cold-blooded holograph letter from the Right Hon. Sir CHARLES WOOD, Bart., M.P., then Firat Lord of the Admiralty. Read it, electors of Halifax, read it, men of England, this harsh, pitiless missive, aldressed to the dying sailor by this Wood-en-hearted statesman and ad ministrator : ITER MAJESTY'S T ELEATRE.— Titiens, Alboni, Giuglini.

With the particulars of this deplor able history the public at large are by this time o nly too painfully familiarised. They have been related by Mr. CAYLEY in the first abstract of that very memoir of his which has been since then published, as already intimated in a more lengthened form, though still in a very portable form, as a separate brochure. This early abstract of the memoir appeared originally on the 11th of March in the Daily News, and was subsequently, ottlast Lady-day, rendered the theme of slme moat impressive remarks reprinted in our own columns from those of our able and out-spoken contemporary. It would be superfluous, there fore, to recapitulate here the whole story, as it has been now thrics told-1n each instance with admirable ability and with a rhetorical force and a logical precision, not simply persuasive but perfectly convincing and incontrovertible. In his pamphlet-reprint of the story, Mr. CAYLEY with g 4 CHARLES WOOD. a poignant irony entitles his memoir—" Tao Service and the Rewa r d "—the Service having in truth been Immense, and the Reward absolutely Nothing. In one sentence, What was that Set e e aecrc:imo exertions i o sh f m t e h n is t vice ? It was briefly this—Th in a few days by the individual x h u mble Master in th e Ro y al Navy of what e v er y othei official, great and small, from the Admiral of the Fleet and the Commander-in-Chief of the A r my downwards, ha.l altogether neglected up t o the moment of the emergency—and a t arrival of the emergency regarded as altogether impracticable, viz., the landing of British troops upon the shores of the Crimea at the time of the famous" descent of the Allied Forces upon Eu patoria. The Fiend), according to their habitual promptitude and prevision in 'natters of this kind —when the hour had struck for the transport of troops bodily across the Euxine from their tem porary encampment at Varna—were, as a matter of course, prepared.

" Portimoutb, Sept. 21, 1856, "Sir,—l have had tha honour of rec.!iving your letter, and I am sorry to hearty om yourself, as in. deed I had heard from Dr. isbett, to whom I spoke on the subject, that you are at present un able to undertake aLy active employment. Atter the fullest consideration I can give to the subject, which, indeed, it had before received from th e Board of Admiralty, I cannot comply with your request for promo ion to the list of active com manders. But I need not repeat w iat has been said to you before, that the Board will be very glad to avail themselves of any fitting opportunity of marking the sense they entertain of your ser vices.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "R. W. Roberts, Esq." Another Lord of the Admiralty of that time has yet to be particularised. Admiral Sir MAURICE BERKELEY, to wit, who figures in the story thus : —Mr. ROUERTs' name had been mentioned with honour in the House of Commons, and an inquiry put by Mr. CAYLEY as to whether he (ROBERTS) had received promotion for his distinguished ser vices ? Now, mark the answer given Admiral BERKELEY replied— " With regard to the case of Mr. Roberts, of the Cyelop, mentioned by the hon. member for the North Riding, he was happy to say that that gen tleman bad been promoted, aria had received from the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Cit. in consequence of his merit and his merit only, one of the best situations which a mister was capable of bolding." (Rear, hear.)—See Times, March 24, 1855. Now it must be observed that Mr. CAYLEY'S question was, whether Mr. 2.OBERTS had received promotion for the services he had described. Admiral BERKELEY'S reply sounded enough like an affirmative to draw t .e cheers of the Rowe on promotion for merit and merit alone. Admiral B.'s statement was true, in so far as Mr. ROBERTS had been promoted for merit and merit alone eight yeal . s before. It was true Sir J. GRAHAM had appointed him to the Cyclops in '53, an ap pointment which bad enabled Mr. ROBERTS to do o lir ROBERTS these se rv i ces w h ose re ward was now the question before th e H ouse . B u t th e only preferment or promotion bad received for and sin ce thse services,was a sick bed in Malta Hospital. There he lay, while the Admiral was drawing cheers in Parliament on a rare instance of Admi ralty promotion for merit and merit alone. Naval men might have seen that Admiral B.'s assertion was self-contradictory. " He was promoted, and done in exchange, and bills on London closed at 1091 to 110. Ashes firm. Coffee quiet but firm. Cotton quiet, but prices sustained. Flower and wheat rather lower. Corn scarce, and rather dearer. Sco cb pig iron dull and depressed. Spirits of tur pentine advanced to 50c. Crude inactive.

SlR,—After the upright and patriotic manner in which, discarding previous associations, the most distinguished members of the Liberal party have given a bold, consistent, and an able support, in the House of Commons, to Her Majesty's Govern ment, it is to be hoped, that by timely, and I may add graceful concessions, a collision between the two Houses of Parliament, on the question of Jew ish emancipation, may be averted. The Tories must be convinced that the Liberals are not factious, but patriotic ; and that the time has come when the honor of England requires that to subdue factious there should be a closer bond of union between the peers and the people. The Tories are themselves Liberals in their policy towards India, they are winning back the respect and the love of their fellow-countrymen by that policy :—Then why not, while so just to the Mahommedan and the Ilindoo, be tolerant, kind, and generous towards their Jewish fellow-subjects `l As all the arguments on this matter are exhausted, I will not trouble you with a word more ; I will not put this question on the low grounds of party political gain ; 1 give Lord Derby credit for higher views and purer motives ; but when so many of his lordship's supporters in the House of Commons are favourable to this measure, it is not unreason able to hope that a concession will be made.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, London, May, 1858. J. B. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Emperor and Empress, with the Prince Im. perial, her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands H.I.H Prince Napoleon, and H.R. H. the Prince of Wuttemberg, left Paris this day for Fontaine bleau. It is stated that an official despatch has been sent from Turin, to be communicated to the English Government, to this effect :—The English Govern ment is asked to join the Sardinian in the demand tor the restitution of the Cagliari, and the imme diate liberation of the crew ; that, in case of refusal, England and Sardiuia should propose the media ' Lion of (a Power not specified) ; but on con dition that the crew shall be at once liberated without bail ; and that Sardinia agrees to separate the question of compensation to the two British subjects from tha' which may appear to be due to the Piedmontese Government. An Italian gentleman, named Dal-Ongaro, has received a peremptory order to quit France. M. Dal-Ongaro is the Italian translator of Racine's " Phedre," which was represented at the Theatre U'ranorais a few nights ago by Madame Ristori. A day or two aft er the performance he received a sum mons to attend at the Prefecture of Police ; he wAs then informed that orders had been given for his expulsion from the French territrry. H e in quired the reason, but was told that reasons for thin mode of practising hospitality were not usually given ; there was nothing for it but sub mission. With respect to his passport, he was informed that he should have one for Algeria, or for any other country that would not refuse to re ceive Italian refugees, excepting England. No reasons were given for this exception. It is well, however, to know that refugees are now debarred, so far as the French police can debar them, from going to England. Tee exception can hardly be in consequence of any undwrstandiug between Lord Malmesbury and the French authorities, and the supposition is that the act is solely that of the latter. M. Dal Onagro has not recently taken part in political transactions. For some years past he has devoted himself to literary put suits, by which he earns his livelihood. The authorities have, doubt less, their secret reasons fur the measure ; and their right to expel from their soil any stranger they think proper is not contested. What in the pre sent case is worthy of notice is that England is ex cepted from those countries for which Italian re fugees will get passports. The improvement stated to have taken place in the state of M. de Pene continues ; the fever yes terday morning had disappeared, and the patient was perfectly calm.

It scarcely required the publication of the cor respondence between Lord CANNING and Sir JAS OUTRAM to ensure the defeat of the Cambridge House gang on Friday evening. Truth was mighty, and it had prevailed, even before the op portune arrival of those remarkable documents. The Liberals, although some of their number had given inconsiderate promises in the first instance, could not withstand the irresistible argument brought forward on behalf of the Government, From the moment that Sir H.

The Calcutta and China mails leave Alexandria to-day (May 16), with intelligence from Calcutta to the 22d of April, Madras 28th, and Hong Kong 13th. Telegrams from officers at Allababad confirm the intelligence of the relief of Azimghur by Sir Edward Lugard on the 15th of April. He forced the enemy's bridge on the 15th, and on the 17th the rebels were driven out of the city by a pur suing force under Brigadier Douglas. The rebels evacuated the city and were pur. sured for 15 miles towards Goruckpore ; three guns were captured. The insurgents suffered a heavy loss. Our loss was very slight. It was believed the enemy could not cross the Gogra. The telegram adds a report from Cawn pore, that the rebel Rajah of Mynporee had arrived at Ourgas with some force. The rebels, it was be lieved, still intend making a stand at Calpee. Kooer Singh is said to be trying to get into the Behar districts ; a reward of 25,000 rupees has been offered for his apprehension.

To Sir JoHN PAKINGTON, now happily for the nation installed at the Admiralty as Sir CHARLES WOOD'S succ3ssor—England, the English Navy, the English people, look confidently for the re moval, as far as may yet be possible, of this foul blot upon our maritime escutcheon by one tardy act of reparation. At the very least, the afflicted widow of this noble-hearted tar should receive an other pension henceforth—an increased pension— not as the relict of a Master in the Royal Navy, but as the widow of a Commander. THE BREAK DOWN. There never was, we believe, so lamentable a failure as this of Mr. Cardwell's. For 10 days past prodigious has been the exultation of the Palmerstoeiane at the sure and signal defeat—the total and final expulsion of the Administration of Lord Derby. At the opening of the attack all their journals were certain of a majority of from 120 to 150. The resignation of Lord Ellen borough rather damped their exultation, and they admitted that now the majority might be no greater than 80. Their defeat in the Lords still further quieted them. and a majority of 50 to 60 was now their calculation, , But to this they adhered to the last. Meanwhile, how,ver, as the discussion went on, the strength of the Cambridge-house confederates melted away. Their n ewspapers kept up the delusion to the last ; but all well informed persons knew that the Go• vernment was gaining strength day by day and hour by hour. Oa Monday last it was acertained that a majority was safe for the Government, though perhaps only of five or ten votes. On Wednesday it had risen to twenty • five. On Thursol , y it was still higher ; but on Friday the Palinerstonians ran in all directions like sheep. We heard one of them declare that although be himself was pledged to vote for Mr. Cardwell's motion, he knew of a dez,tn men who hal changed their minds since 9 o'clock that morning ! We feel assured that had a division taken place, the majority for the Government would have ex ceeded 100. Ministers were sure of 310 votes on Wed nesday ; bat they would have had 350 last night, while the Palmeretonians would have scarcely amounted to 250. It was a consciousness of this rapid scat tering of his forces which induced the originator of the whole movement—the man who had himself put for ward Mr. Cardwell—now to beat a retreat, and to re commend his trusty friend to withdraw his motion. This defeat, for the ambitious Viscount, is a fearful one. But for the Conservative calve it is almost too signal and too rapid. We know that the most inexperienced men in the Government have been looking forward to a small adverse mf:jority with hope, for said they, " We shall never have a bettsr question to dissolve upon."-2he Press. A. Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the officia residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Down ing-e'reet.

J. W. Henley, and Lord John Manners. Toe Queen and Court remain at Osborne until the 4th June.—Court Journal. It is reported that the Queen will not visit Ascot this year.

DEATH OF LADY MARGARET LEVESON GOWER --We regret to have to announce the demise of Lady Mar garet Leveson Gower, wife of the Hon. Frederick Leveson Gower, brother of the Earl Granville. The mournful event took place on Saturday evening from measle,, which followed immediately after her ladyship's confinement, on Wednesday last. Lady Margaret was second daughter of the late Marquis of Northampton, and was born 15th March, 1830, and married in 1853 to the Hon. F. Leveson Gower. Several families of dis tinction are placed in mourning by the melancholy ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. " The Huguenots," on Saturday night, brought a nu merous and fashionable audience together, and was given with a thorough finish in every department, that provoked the eulogistic recognition of all assembled. Niario and Grisi, as Raoul and Valentine, carried off, el usual, the larger share of the honours, and the finale to the third act produced all its wonted enthusiasm. The band, under the direction of Mr. Costa, works with* precision truly wonderful, and the choral adjuncts Are unexceptionable. The audience have evidently not yet suffered the feeling of novelty in the structure to be overbalanced by the interest of the lyric representation , and all the energies of the artistes cannot prevent the attention of the spectators being drawn off to the bra' liancy of the chandelier, and the superb yet simple the' ratter of the decorations. The stalls were quite full, and their ample accommodation seemed to be ,folly e‘P' preciated I.y the members of the fashionable world, by whom they were occupied. HA.YMARKET. Mr. Sheridan Knottle,i's play of "The Hunchback ° was performed on Saturday evening, when Mrs. 0 bag' Young appeared as Julia, the part in which she wade her debut upon the Loudon stage.
