The long-expected report of the commission appointed to examine the French Budget of 1850 has now been published and distributed. In the estimates of ordinary expenses and receipts, there seems to be a deficit of 47,434,435 f., and in the extraordinary, 29,039,970 f., amounting together to 76,474,425 f., which is covered by a sum of 83,686,262 f. be longing to the sinking fund, leaviug a surplus of 7,211,837 f. " This," says the reporter, after entering into the details of the above estimates, "is the place to remark on the difference existing between a budget which is balanced by its own proper resources and one trimmed into equilibrium by some extraordinary means, such as the appropriation of sums bor rowed from the sinking fund. The amount of the public debt in France has increased since 1848 by 138 millions, out of which sum the revolution of February has to account for 60 millions, and the present Government for 72 millions." The report alludes to the just fears which the Corps Legislatif, in structed by experience, haveof supplementary and extraordi nary credits, to which recourse must only be in cases of great and unforeseen urgency. It lays great stress on the fact that if these methods of raising money are employed to the same extent as heretofore, it will be impossible to reconcile such a system with the proper operations of a sinking fund, which must be supplied by real economy and out of the literal savings of the State. Governments as well as private individuals, communes, departments, or industrial undertakings, are limited in their expenses by their means, and this considera tion in ordinary times must outweigh all others, even that of apparent utility, " The Government should he satisfied as to the impossibility of devoting 1,736,000,010 to our ordinary expenses ; to those expenses which, once inscribed on the bud g et, re urn each year and never are got rid of ; to those expenses which discount our future, and that will become an insurmountable obstacle to the execution of those great works, these important improvements, which are meditated bythe august prince who presides overthe destinies of France. Let us confine ourselves within the limits of our yearly re sources; the sinking fund will then operate in the fulness of its power, with more than 120 millions per annum ; very soon we shoul i see our funds rise, and their price would per mit us to effect the conversion of the 41 per Cents., a conversion which would procure us a reduction of 17 millions and a half in our expenses. Will France drag herself along from year to year wi'h her budgets peniblement equilibres, or will she place herself in the high position worthy of her? t is an imperious duty for the Government, as well as the Corps Legislatif, to direct all their efforts towards the reduc tion of permanent expenses, otherwise they will finish by dis counting the future of France. In these expenses the Ministry of War figures for a very high sum ; it absorbs the greatest part of the disposable resources of the State—say 51 per cent. This proportion, is it not too censiderable ?" The reporter whilst on this subject gives some in teresting statements with reference to the expenses of the French navy, which include the following projects : " Ist, The finishing of the fleet of transition by t he transfor mation of sailing ships into auxiliary screw vessels. 2d, The gradual creation of a fast steam fleet of 150 war vessels. 3d, The finishing of transports commenced, and the trans formation of a certain number of sailing frigates into steam transports—making a fleet of 72 transports. 4th, The con tinuation of the works at the port of Cherbourg, and the creation in the four other military ports of i.raving docks and special workshops. The whole of these great undertak ings represent an exp.use of 234,r92,000 fr. The information given by the President of the Marine Section to the Council of State leaves no doubt as to the necessity of applying steam power to all the ships of the fleet. The experience of the late war proved that steam-ships bad over sailing vessels an incontestible superior ity either in combat or in operations of diseiubarkation or transport. Tin• expense has for its object to maintain the maritime power of France in the rank which it ought to occupy among nations. We are convinced that in the realisation of the work the Government will employ evi ry aid which the progress of science each day affords. This transformation of the fleet will be effected in 14 years from this time, in assuring to chapters 7,8, and 9, an an nual dotation of about 65 millions. The number of armed vessels is increased from 142 to 152. The number of sailors, ou the contrary, fixed at 25,781 men, is diminished by 3,050, showing that the number of large vessels is less congi derable." It is probably the concluding part of the above report which has inspired a correspondent of the Inclependance Beige with the following. He says —" The Emperor has just • dseided that the works going on at this moment in our arsenals shall be pushed forward with such a prodigious ac tivity that the French fleet must number, in the course of the year 1859, an effective of 150 screw ships of war. These 150 steam-ships of war, of great speed, aro composed of 35 • line-of-battle ships (29 will be constructed this year, and nine • of them will be especially of superior speed to any in the Eng ' lish navy), 45 frigates, 40 corvettes, and 30 small steamers. Never will France have possess d so magnificent a fleet. Our In prier to justify the Neapolitan Government for its continued imprisonment of these MOD, and for putting them on their trial for their lives, there should have been, at least, prima facie evidence of their . participation in some of the offences committed by some of those on board the Cagliari. The Neapolitan Government has, in effect, admitted that mere presence on board was not of itself a sufficient ground for the institution of ceeni4al proceedings; inas much as it set at lib rty seven of the passengers on the 28th August, 1857, and eleven of the crew on the 28th October, 1857. The Neapolitan Government must, therefore, seek ifs justification for its conduct towards Park and Watt in the acts charged against them in the " Atto di accuse. " These, apparently, are the following : - 1. That they were without regular passports ("ricapiti"). To this it may be sufficient to observe that it appears not to be unusual for engineers of Sardinian steam-vessels leaving Genoa to be without passports ; their names were on the ship's muster-roll, and they wero in the regular einployment of the owners of the Cagliari ; but, at all events, the Neapolitan Government cannot infer any seri ous guilt from the mere want of passports. 2. The note found upon Park, alleged to have been written by Miss White at Genoa. This note, on the face of it, pur ports to be addressed not to an Accomplice, but rather to a person who was to be forced to act under constraint ; it is neither signed nor addressed ; it was only presented to Park when the vessel was forcibly seized by some of the pa sengors ; and the circumstaaco that Park preserved and trdnscribe•l it into his log-book, as his justification, is a proof, not of his guilt, but of his innocence in relation to it. 3. That Watt (as chief engineer) ought to have directed the vessel's course to Tunis, and not to Ponza. This charge, proceeding, as it does, from total ignorance of the con struction and navigation of steam vessels, is not worthy of serious ref u t a ti on. 4. Of p ar ti c i pat i on i n various specified acts at Ponza and at Ekapri. Of these it is sufficient to observe that, even if they were of such a nature as to render Park and Watt amenable to a Neapolitan tribunal in respect of their com mission (which we can by no means admit), we are unable to discover that any evidence has ever been forthcoming to prove that Park at d Watt committed any of them; indeed, as v a i s ou to s, tp t. o b m ei o n s a t of ad m th i e t m te , d t i h n ei t r h i e n.T A ce t n to (•.e d m i A us e t c h us a: , e , that they remained on board throughout, whereas these acts ate charged to have been committed on shore. For these reasons wo are of opinion th a t th ere i s no g.rouud whatever which justifie s the Neapolitan Govern ment in having subjected Park an d W att to this prosecu tion, or in having inflicted upon th em , as malefactors of the worst class, a long and inhuman imprisonment. The Neapolitan Government, upon the capture of the Cagliari and the arrest of all those who had ever been on board her with their papers, was in possession of the fullest information as to the guilt or innocence of each individual; and we are of opinion that thereupon Park and Watt became entitled, as a right, to immediate liberation.—We have, 4rc., (Signed) J.

My Lord, We are honoured with your Lordship's cora mands, signified in Mr. Hainnaon l's letter of the 25th March ultimo, stating that ho was directed to transmit to us the correspondence respecting the capture, imprison ment, and trial, by the Neapolitan Government, of two British subjects, serving as engineers on board the Sardi nian merchant-steamer " Cagliari," together with a copy of the indictment preferred against them, and a volume entitled " Sulfa Prods del Cagliari," published by the Ne apolitan Government, and -a further volume, entitled " Difersa del Cagliari," published by the owners of the ves sel ; he also stated that the proceedings in the Admiralty Court at Naples would be sent as soon as printed. Mr. Hammond was also pleased to request that we would take these papers into our immediate consideration, and report to your lordship our opinion whether the cap ture of the Cagliari was legal. In obedience to your lordship's commands we have taken these papers into consideration, and have the honour to report — That we have carefully perused these voluminous papers, and have considered them in conealtation with the Attor ney-General, but that as we are unable to concur entirely in the conclusion at which we believe he has arrived, we have thought it best to express to your lordship our opin ion in the following Report. In dealing with this question, ace have confined our at tention to the capture of the Cagliari exclusively, and in dependently both of the legal proceedings against that ves sel, which ended in her condemnation as a prize, and of the treatment of those on board her. We would, in the first place, invite your lordship's at tention to the facts preceding this capture. The Cagliari, a S..rdiniau merchant steamer, running between Genoa and Tunis (touching at Cagliari, in Sar dinia), left Genoa, on ono of her regular voyages, on the 25th of June, 1m57, with, apparently, thirty-three passen gers and a crew consistin g of thirtytwo, anti a cargo partly consisting of fire-arms. Whilst on the high seas on the same evening about 25 of her passengers s eddeuly-produced concealed arms, took forcible possession of the ship, with out any opposition being offered, broke bulk and plundered arms on board, deprived the master of his authority, and placed him, and some of the other passengers and crew, under restraint, and forced (as is alleged) ono of the passen gers (Daneri, a merc h an t capta i n by profession), to navi gate the vessel as enactor. The Cagliari passed what was supposed to be a squadron of British ships of war, when the passengers and crew under restraint were more closely watched, and kept out of sight. On the 27th of June the Cagliari arrived at the island of Ponza, which appears to be a fortress and prison of the Neapolitan Government; the Sardinian colour were flying,and the pilot and captain of the port were seized on their comi ng on board; the boats were landed, an armed disembarkation took place, an attack was made en the island, one Neapolitan officer of the garrison killed, another wounded, the garrison overpowered, up wards of 300 prisoners liberated and armed, arms, ammu nition, and money were taken from the fortress, a Royal Neapolitan cutter or cruizer lying in the has hour of Ponza was boarded, plundered, one sunk, and other crimes and excesses were committed. Some of the crew appear to have lauded. Lorenzo Acquerono, whose name is on the ship's mus t er -roll as a waiter or steward, and Cesare Cori, a pas senger, seem to have been wounded on shore, and brought back to the steamer. With this additional armed force, and with the plunder, the Cagliari proceeded, on the night of the 27th, to the Polica,stro. Those passengers e who had originally seized the ship, together with the prisoners libe. sited and em barked at Ponza, landed in arms at Sapri early in the morning of the 23th, and co emitted various acts of out rage and hostility on shore, where they were, soon after wards, all killed, or taken by the Neapolitan troops and inhabitants. The craw, acting, probably, under compulsion, appear to have rowed the boats in which the landing at Ponza and that at Sapri were effected. ' After landing at Sapri, the maste r (Sitzie) appears, after the disembarkation, and, on the night of the 28th, to have resumed his authority; and, with the assent of the crew, and 11 remaining passengers (amongst w h om was Daneri), to have got under weigh, and taken a course as for Naples, where (as he stated) it was his intention to make a detailed relation of what had occurred to the Neapolitan Govern ment. occ urrences the Ne a p o li tan Government, During these w hi c h bad early intelligence of the attack on Ponza, took measures not only to check the aggression, but to pursue and capture al l these engaged in it. Some s t eam -f r i ga t es were sent from Naples to Gaeta to embark troops, and two cru i zers (the Tancredi and Ettore Fieraruosca), sailing i'company, and is search of the Cagliari (of w hi c h vesse l' s iappearance and course, when last seen, the comman di ng officer had previously received a description), fell in with her on the morning of the 29th of June, on the high seas, apparently about twelve miles west of Capri. The Cag !lan • wa s, when first seen , steering toward s t h em; and, on e ve ssel approaching , the Tancredi fired a s h o t, w hi c h b ro ught her to; the master (Sitzia) was ordered on board I the Tancredi, with his papers, .and th e C agliari was then b oar ded and taken p oss ession of by an arm e d b oat from the I Tancredi, and towed, by the Ettore Fieramosca in com pany, first to Salern o, and thence to Na p les . hien the Cagliari was brought to, i r -- appears that she was not taking that which it is alleged would have been her most direct and s hortest course to Na p les, viz., through the straits between Capri and the mainland (" piccolo bocche de Capri"). Three wounded men were on board, viz., Acquarone and Cori alre ad y men tioned, and Amil care Buonomo, passenger, wounded at Sapri, as h e a ll eges , by those who landed, on his refusal to land ; b u lk was broken, and part of the cargo (arms) missing; arms were also found , loaded , on board ; twenty-five passengers were missing. It was known to the captors that she had been recently employed in acts of piracy and unauthorised hos tility, and the explan ations offered .by the captain were, at all events, not s uch as to command implicit and immediate credence. We must also remark that some important ship's papers, amongst which were the certificate of ow n ership, and the maritime passport, we re wan ti ng ; an d although this would not justify the capture, it would add to the other grounds of suspicion presenting themselves to the captors. Giuseppe Mercurio, he was on the ship's ma ster-roll (a steward or waiter), a ppears to have landed, and been wounded, and taken, in arms, on shore at Sapri ; if so, he must have been missing at the capture. Under these circumstances, and bearing in mind the whole of the facts, we are of opinion that the Neapolitan commanding officer was justified in taking possession of the Cagliari, and in taking her into Naples (where she was in fact going), in order to secure a full investigation of what really had occurred on board.

She had been confined to her bed for five years, and was twice an inmate of two different hospitals in Leeds, but with out obtaining the slightest relief, and was finally in fnrmed that she must lose her leg by amputation.

We forbear from enlarging upon the serious conse quences which wonld, in our opinion, result to every mari time State, and to none more than Great Britain, from it s being held that nothing short of complete legal proof of guilt or the actual commission of c rime, at th moment of capture, will jastify a national ship of war in capturing a vessel under such circumstances as those in which the Cag liari was captured by the Tancredi. If such a doctrine is to prevail, pirates need only obtain possession of a vessel entitled to a flag and papers in order to secure perfect impunity; the high seas, in place of being the secure highway of nations, will become the asylum of wrong doers, and the flag and papers of any nation may be wrong fully used to the irremediable injury of every other. no G d r e e m at an ß d ri i t n aincan this cede to Naples or to any other recognised G overnment, no however weak or barbarous ; and we are of o p inion that case put forward which n t o make con - had the British, instead of the Neapolitan coast, been the scene of the occurrences now in qaestion, any British naval officers, placed in the same position as the Neapolitan offi cer commanding the Tancredi, would not have exceeded his duty or been guilty of an international offence by cap turing and bringing into port a vessel found under the same circumstances as the Cagliari."

The Attorney-General to the Earl of Malmesbury.— (Received April 19.) Temple, April 17, 1853. My Lord,—l was favoured with your lordship's com mands signified in Mr. Hammond's letter of the 25th March ultimo, in which he stated that he was directed by your lordship to transmit therewith the correspondence respecting the capture, imprisonment, and trial by the Neapolitan Government of two British subjects serving as engineers on board the Sardinian merchant-steamer Cagli ari i together with a copy of the indictment preferred against them, and a volume entitled " Sulla Preda del Cagliari," published by the Neapolitan Government, and a further volume entitled " Difesa del Cagliari," published by the owners of the vessel. Mr. Hammond also stated that he was to reauest that I would, together with the Queen's Advocate and the Soli citor-General, take the papers into consideration, and re port to your lordship my opinion whether the capture of the Cagliari was legal. In obedience to your lordship's commands, I have taken the papers into consideration, and have the honour to report— That, lamenting the difference which exists between myself and the other law officers of the Crown, my clear and decided opinion is, that the capture of the Cagliari was contrary to the law of nations. Circumstances invest this case with extraordinary im portance, but it does not appear to me that they present any peculiar difficulty as to the facts or as to the law upon which the question now submitted arises. The printed papers of the Neapolitan Government before me are indeed voluminous ; but though they overlay, they cannot effectually disguise, much less alter, the simplicity of the issue to be determined. _ . . It appears that in the case of the Cagliari the main facts are undisputed ; and the proposition of international law which applies to them is elementary, and has beenhitherto uncontroverted. The main facts are— _ .. . 1. That at the time of the capture of the Cagliari, pa cific relations subsisted between Sardinia and the Two Sicilies. 2. That the Cagliari was a private merchant-vessel, well known to the captors as belonging, on accountof her oc cupations, in a marked and special manner to the Com mercial Marine of Sardinia. 3. That under force and daresis she bad been compelled to land convicts and rebels upon the Neapolitan coast. 4. That at the time of her Capture she was neither de facto nor de j ure, piratically employed. 5. That she was seized upon the high seas, within no territorial jurisdiction, after a display of force, and the menace of a shot fired at her by a ship of war belonging to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. I have said that these facts are uncontroverted, and such is in truth their character ; but it may be well to notice in this place a suggestion—it is scarcely more—that the " Cagliari" voluntarily surrendered herself. It is in the first place clear, that the international right of a State =root be abrogated by the act of an individual subject. But in the second place, the notion of a voluntary surrender on the part of a merchant vessel, because she obeyed the orders of a ship of war which haul fired at her and taken her in tow, as in the present instance, by an armed boat, is really unworthy of any serious comment. It is, to borrow the expression of the late Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (page 63, No. 79, of the papers laid before Parlia ment), a mockery. Taking, then, these main facts as incontrovertible, and practically uncontroverted, it remains to state the princi ples of international law by which they are governed; and it is expedient to observe that no question arises as to what might be the principles of this law. Whether they could bo precisely the same, or in any or what degree modified, or wholly different, in the case of a vessel seized after a pur suit, beginning in territorial waters, and from which pur suit, so begun, the pursued vessel had escaped ; or in the case of a vessel seized within territorial waters of the captor. Having reference, then, to the facts of the present case, the propositions of international law applicable to them appear to me the following :- 1. That the merchant vessels of every State on the high seas are subject to the jurisdiction of the State to which they belong. "All nations," says Lord Stowell, " being equal, all have an equal right to the uninterrupted use of the unap propriated parts of the ocean for their navigation. In places where no local authority exists, where the subjects of all States meet upon a footing of entire equality and independence, no one State, or any of its subjects, has a right to assume or exercise authority over the subjects of another. I can find no authority that gives the right of interruption to the navigation of States in amity upon the high seas, excepting that which the rights of war give to both belligerents against neutrals." 2. That the right of search is, as a general rule, strictly belligerent in its character, and cannot be exercised in time of peace. 3. That the only exception is the case of professed pirates ; that exception being founded on the fact that pirates are always enemies of every State, and, therefore, are equally subject to the jurisdiction of every State. 4. That a merchant vessel regularly incorporated in the marine of a State, does not become a pirate by having been itself forcibly seized by pirates; nor does she, when having escaped from pirates, and forthwith returning to her law ful occupations from which, 'by force of arms, she had been temporarily diverted, become liable to be seized as prize upon the high seas. 5. That under circumstances of vehement suspicion of piracy, the usage of States has allowed, though with the most jealous reluctance, the right of approach, for the pur pose of ascertaining the national character of the vessel. That if that character be clearly commercial—if the State to which she belongs be undoubted—if her employ ment at the time of so ascertaining her nationality be law ful, then a suspicion of past unlawful conduct does not justify seizure in time of peace, but does justify applica tion for inquiry to the proper authority and jurisdiction of the State to which she belongs. Tried by these tests, the forcible capture of the Cagliari was clearly illegal. If that capture was illegal, the jurisdiction of the Court of the Two Sicilies was never founded ; the proceedings before them were therefore null and void. The argument that though the capture was illegal, the jurisdiction over the ship, howsoever obtained, might be wall founded, appears to me to labour under two capital errors :- Ist. It builds theright of a State upon a wrongful act of that State ; 2ndly. It confounds two distinct things—the municipal relations of a Court to the Government of the State to which it belongs, and the mutual international relations of two States. It remains to observe upon the practice of States as well as upon the law. The practice appears to me to confirm the law in this instance. First, as to the Carlo Alberto, cited in the Neapolitan proceedings. The " Carlo Alberto," after having landed, on the southern coast of France, the Duchess of Berry and several of her adherents, with a view of exciting civil war in that country, put into a French port; but even, though persons admitted to be conspirators were taken out of the vessel, she being then in the French territory, and, unlike the Cagliari, being originallyemployed upon a hostile if not a piratical expedition, was, nevertheless, not condemned by the French Courts, but was remitted to the jurisdiction of her own country—Sardinia. In the case decided in England, the Le Louis, where a French vessel had been seized by English cruisers for carrying on the African slave trade after that trade had been abolished by the internal laws cf France, and by the treaty between Great Britain and France, the sentence condemning her a as reversed, and Lord Stowell said, "It is pressed as a difficulty, what is to be done if a French ship laden with slaves for a French port is brought in ? I answer, without hesitation, restore the possession which has been unlawfully divested ; re scind the illegal act done by your own subject, and leave the foreigner to the justice of his own country." The same law has been laid down by the United States. In the case of the affair of the Terceira, in 1829, in which Portuguese refugees, in contravention of British law, fitted out armed vessels in British territorial waters, and were pursued by a British ship off Terceira, they were merely prevented from landing on that island the armed force so illegally collected in British waters; and no jurisdiction was attempted to be exercised over the ships themselves, and even this amount of interference was considered by high authorities at the time to have been an excess of power on the part of Great Britain. The conclusion, therefore, to which I am irresistibly led both from international law and practice, is, that the cap ture of the " Cagliari" was illegal. Both Sardinia and Eng t land are indeed boundret s o afford otve redress, if wrong has been done by I!ei!' wt subjects, and to entertain any complaint Two Sicilies may have t? ur g e against to use to hich reason of the acts of th eir subjects ; the y e wards that State the judicial la - nguage of Lord The Shakspearian Club celebrated its 34th anniversary at i a a s p u o b f l i t c h e r t i reacting n o e f , r o a n t i e o S so t i i:a o tf f o o rd ne y o e f st t e h r e da g y r . eat T e h st er t e ra w ge a d s of Shakspere's plays in the afternoon by th e R ev Julian Young, which was well attended, and a dinner at Shaksper 's Hall, under the presidency of Mr. J.

I but state this tha: you may feel I have the proper veneration for the memory of our Shakspere, by never omitting any oppor tunity of visiting his birthplace, and that beautiful Church where his yet unisturbed dust reposes. It is pleasant at a meeting like this to celebrate the birthday of our greatest English dramatic poet, to see that it is kept as it ought to be, with feelings of gratitude and affection, ant in the way that we keep the birthday of our dear friends and relations that we love. Laigh Hunt, iu his " Indicator," of 1820, writing on Shakspere's birthday, hoped the time might come when it should be a subject of public rejoicing when the re gular feast should be served up, the bust crowned With laurel, and the theatres sparkle with illuminations. He also sug g, sted to the then mauager of Drury-lane Theatre, Mr. El is ton, that if he would light up the front of his theatre with the name of " Shakspere " on the 23d of April, he would warrant the manager a call from the pit, and whole =bouts of acknowledgment. Gentlemen, much of this genial and now venerab'e writer's hope is realised. I know of several festi vals in London to-day to celebrate ,he oc asion, to say nothiag of the festival here, while, to realise Leigh Hunt.'s sug g estion to the manager at the time the paper was written, I feel much pleasure in telling you that the front of the Haymarket Theatre, in London, of which I have the lioaour to be the lessee, is this evening illuminated. (Cheeers.) The il'umina- Ural consists only of these words, " April 23d—Shakespeare's Birthday "—though, if the pit was to honour me, with a call to-night, there would be some little d:fficulty n my appearing before it. (Laughter.) And, gentlemen, I know it will please you to hear that, as the Haymarket is essentially a comedy house the play there to-night is " Much Ado About Nothi while at the Princess's Mr. C. Kean gives " A Mid summer Night's Dream." (Cheers.) Inmy boyhood, gentle men, and, I am happy to say, like most English boys, I was a constant reader and ardent lover . of Shakspeare. At a very early age many of his patriotic and philosophical passages I knew by heart. Harry the Fifth's heroic reply to his c,usin Westmoreland ; Talbot's fierce retort to the Countess of Au vergne; the death of Cardinal Beaufort; Hamlet's soliloquy; Macbeth and his air-drawn dagger; and many other immortal fragments were at that time as familiar to me as " household words," and there is little doubt but my intimate acquaint ance with them led me at least to become a player and an humble writer for the stage. On emerging from boyhood, and whil yet a young actor, I was one of the first members of a Shakspearian club, called " The Mulberries." It was not then a very prominent one, as its meetings were held at a certain house of entertainment in Vine. ar-yard, Drury-lane. The club assembled there once a-week ; they dined together on Shakspere's birthday ; and in the mulberry season there was another dinner and a mulberry feast, at which the chair man sat enthroned uncle , a canopy of mulberry branches, with the fruit on them ; Shaksperi en songs were sung, mem bers would read original papers on poems, relating only to Shakspere, and; as many artists belonged-to thitectub, 'they would exhibit sketches of some event connected with our poet's life ; and I once had the honour of submitting a paper to be read, called " Shakspere'sdriaking boat," an imaginary story, illustrating the traditionary event, when the chivalry of Stratford went forth to carouse with " Piping Pebworth, dancing Marston, Haunted Hillborough, hungry Grafton, Budging Exhall, Papist Wic'kaford, Beggarly Broom, and drunken Bidford." (Laughter.) All these pictures and papers were collected to gether in a book, which was called " Mulberry Leaves ;" and you will believe me, in spite of our lowly place of meeting, that the club was not intellectually insignificant, when awougst its members, then in their youth, were Douglas Jerrold, Lamau Blanchard, the Landscers (Charles and T. omas), Frank Stone, tiv though at another and more important place of quen , Telford (the Judge) Charles Dickens, meeting, Macready, John Foster, and many other celebrities. (Applause.) You Cattertuole, Robert Keeley, Kenny Meadows, and subse club.

For me, gentlemen, ltet a , t t t o era en p d t ea t v o ou s r a t y o c a a n st y his glories, would be simply absurd, for " Shakspere tells us it is very silly To gild refined gold or paint the lily." So sings another great English bard, Byron. Yet, while it has been so rightly st'd, "He was not for an age, but for all time.;" while poet, philosopher, wit, and dramatist as he was,. may we not also see in him something of the proPhet ? To endeavour . to Provo which, I will take but one instance. In the comedy playpd to-night in London, " Much Ado About Nothing," amongst the characters, there is a great personage called Dogberry. 'Who that has seen that " pretty heap of flesh " represented—who that has carefully read the dialogue put by Shakspere into the mouth of that immortal ass, can• have escaped fancying that Dogberry was but the " shadow cast before " of " the Circumlocution office," or of same sa pient official in it? (Laughter and applause.) Do we not trace in every speech of Dogberry " the way not to •do it ? " Is ho not the type of one of those senseless and fit men, from whom, to any question asked, no direct answer cau ever be obtained, because " for the watch to babble and talk is most tolerable and not to be endured." (Laughter,) I have known, gentlemen, persons who have endeavoured to amend Shake spere—not conceitedly or profanely, but by way of experi ment, and it has then been remarked that in many thousand passages written by him, that he always gives the right wor quaint as it may sometimes be. Yet you cannot replace it by any other that would convey the spirit of his meaning half so well. Whenever a different phrase has been substituted for that used by the poet it has always been found not to fit in, not to express so truly what was meant to be conveyed ; and the would he emendator has confessed himself beaten. (Cheers.) As Washington -Irving beautifully discourses of " the spice of Stratford Church ,becoming the beacon to guide the literary pilgrim of every nation to Shakespere's tomb," I cannot forbear relating a story, not of certain pilgrims, but of certain passengers by a Warwickshire coach, that, years ago, used to pass through this town. The story may, or may not, be exact 'y true, yet, as poetical jus tice is well carried out in it, I will attempt to tell the tale as told to me. It was the custom of the coachman, on arriving here, to stop with his load before the house in which Shak spore was born, so that any of the passengers might, if they plea , ed, alight for a few minutes and inspect the ancient edi fice. Now, it happened at one of these stoppages, when the old coach had its full complement of " four inside and 12 out," all the passengers expressed a wish to see the house except " one inside." He was a sallow, demure person, in black. I need not describe the colour of his cravat, except that it was orthodox. But, gentlemen, don't be alarmed, he was not a clergyman ; he was an accountant I a resident of some neighbouring town. The passengers entered the now cherished dwelling, were soon rapidly writing their names amongst the thousands already inscribed on its humble walls. while the coachman had to wait longer than usual. At this, the sedate " ono inside" began to rate the driver for his de lay, when the delighted passengers reappeared in front of the house. Seeing this, he turned his wrath upon them, de nounced their proceedings in strong conventicle terms, and 'doomed all the" three insides and 12 outs" to eternal perdi tion; to which prospects they good-humouredly submitted, until he had the temerity to assert that our poet was, at th It moment, in that place not to be mentioned to ears polite. (Laughter.) It was only then that the " there insides and 12 outs," —with ladies, God bless them, amongst them--imme diately formed a phalanx of indignation, and declared they would not travel any further with the fellow, and it,sisted . upon the coachman dropping him. He threatened legaul ceedings—he was going on important business; an b, v„ v „ n „ " fifteen" did not care, they would have him out , coachman, did. They gave their names and addresses to t undertaking to guarantee him and his empl h oY e seats in and on harm. The glorious " fifteen " resumed thieiisr whip,the merry eel's against the vehicle; the coachman gaily cracked rattle of the hoofs of his four hot ses ec . t h s o wedaytharmouidgsltt theth e quiet street, and the old coach h w e e a n n t g o ry n . 1 ‘ o no inside" a'ono cheers of the in his glory on th n et iit e "fifteen," leaving avem l tter and applause .)

That the Chureh should ever look upon a well. regulated stage with suspicion must be regarded as a strange anomaly. Both are teachers—the Church of high and sacred themes, of morals, and of virtue. The stage is also a moral teacher, an instructor, and a satiriser, where the " mirror is held up to nature;' where our caults and follies are exhibited, not for the purpose of imitation, but to be beheld painted in living colours, and seen only to be desined, 'Therefore, to see .(Prom Saunders's Noes Letter awl Advertiser.

A , signal mark of the interest felt in the occasion as regards. subj .0, personage, and circumstances, was the very over- • flowing audience, which left but little chance of ageourreez dation for those that - arrived lite Amongst the audience were - his Excellency theleerd Lieutenant, now presidout of the society, who was accompanied by a distinguished party, the Lord CLancellor and the Lord Justice of A.ppea. A better concert than that of last evening has not often been given by the society. It was, moreover, remarkable in having the presen ce an d ass i s t ance o f th e distinguished Irish composer ealfe, who held the conductor's baton in the performance of the selections from his own works which formed part of the programme. Mr. Balfe on pre senting himself was very cordially received, the plauditi being especially warm on the part of the orchestra. The vocal artistes were )11 - adenaoiselle .Victoire Balfe, daughter' to the compeer, Signor Dragons, and Mr. Gustavus Geary.. The only solo instrunientaliss was the teleritel pianist Heri Feuer, who was a host in himself. Mr. Busse!! conducted the opening symphony and other pieces. The next piece was the romanza D'Arlina mi ramentati, by Balfe, which was well sung by Signor Dragone. His voice and style are vei y superior, and were more effectively displayed in sub sevent pieces, Then followed the aria Come per mersereno • - by Reasiei, sting by Mdlle. Balfe, who more than renewed the favourite impression she created on her appearance hero in the op ra. Indeed, whatever might be formed of , her powers on the stage, none could have been insensible `• te the earnest devotion to the music al text, and artistic finish which char icteri e 1 her sing leg last Weduesd ty. Her voice has much power, and it had valuable and essential aid from her pure taste and feeling. Beethoven's concerto for the pianoforte in E flat, with orchestral accompaniment, was admirably played by Herr Passer. The duetto "Mira la bianca lung," of Rossini followed, sung by Itadfle. Belts and Signor Dragon°, in admirably style. The song " Come into the garden, Maud," (Balfe)•followed, sung by - Mr. GeLery, and eccompanied on the pianoforte.by the compeeer,l whose finger as an accompanyist in this and other pieces lost nothing by comparison with that Of the accomplished.: pianist whose performance filled .the ear of the audience previously and afterwards. The song, full Of , beauty and.. originality, was given by Mr. Geary with his usual feeling. and ability, especially in the latter verse, which is peculiarly effective. The first part closed with two pieces by Herr Patter, viz., a " Vase de Concert" of his own, and "La Campanella" by Taubert. Both are -brilliant cm- - poSitions in the modern style, and were very finely played. The second part opened with Balfe's overture, "Falstaff," which is a most effective composition, having pleasing melodies, treated with clearness, spirit, and intelligence, and well sustained to the close. It was well and atten tively played by the orchestra. The ballad; " The'Cone vent Cell," which followed, sung by Medlle. Balfe, was decidedly the gem of the vocal silos of the evening. This chi.rming ballad our musical readers will recollect is from ' Balfe's last popular opera, " The Rose of Castilla;' it nalrowly escaped a triple encore, and was sung - by the. • chfirming young prima donna with the meet intense ex► prision and refined taste.

' Sir,—By the telegram the total destruction of the James Baines would reach Lloyd's. The origin of the firs is only surmised to have arisen from spontaneous combos. lion. 'Twixt decks were all discharged yesterday, and the lower hatch,s taken off in the presence of the surveyors, no damage of any kind being perceptible. I understand the remainder of the cargo consisted of rice, see I, and jute, and if the fire was smothering the admission of air may account for its bursting out. The ship was scuttled, but it was only a 12 feet tide, hence it was useless, as there was not much more water in dock • then the ship drew. It is reported that the time policy on' the ship was cancelled on the 19th instant. Seemly • any shipowners insure from fire in the Liverpool Docks, experience showing that the risk has never been con sidered worth guarding against. The premium at 6d. per cent. would be sufficient, but the stamp duty on the policy is severe. Would not this be a good opportunity for the underwriters and shipowners to memorialise the Court of Exchequer to reduce the stamp duty on fire policies on shipping to 61. for 1/. per annum, instead of 3s. ? A re venue would be obtained which does not exist, and it would, be an encouragement to insure. It strikes me the question has never been sufficiently considered, although I have often suggested it to shi• owners; but the obstacle was the stamp duty. With the Rivington Pike water, and proper appliances at the dock quays, tons of water could be poured into a ship. In this instance the scuttling with only al2 • feet tide did injury, as when she grounded the water pumped into her ran out. The dock authorities should be compelled in the bill now before Parliament to provide complete water pipes for extinguishing fires along the dock quaye. The opportunity afforded of the introduction' of such a clause would be amply justified by the present cala mity, if brought under the notice of the Board of Trade. --I remain, sir, your ob-dient servant, .
