A candid Ministerial statement is looked f o r war d to this evening by the people of England, and it m us t be observed that the multitude are by no means dis posed to receive as adequate for the occasion rem ar k s as evasive as those which on Friday morning proved insufficient even for the lenient constituents of Aylesbury. Reflection must already have carried a rather uncomfortable conviction of this to the mind of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER• lie must be perfectly aware that the nation at large cannot rest satisfied with explanations so-called, which in reality are no explanations whatever ; and that more espe cially the House of Commons will require some definite and explicit announcement of the policy proposed to be carried out by the new Cabinet, even before voting the annual supplies or getting through the routine business of the country. Of this there can no longer be the smallest doubt whatsoever. The Government formed by the Earl of DERBY, aided, or we might go so far as to say inspired by the genius of Mr. DISRAELI, must, as a matter of justice, as a matter of fair play, as a matter of common sense, t e ll the population of the United Kingdom, through the medium of their Parliamentary represen tatives, what are the precise principles upon which they propose to carry on the affairs of the British empire. From the House of Commons the Ministers of the Crown will, in Accordance with the constitutional regulations of the Legislature, have to obtain the votes of the moneys essential for the main tenance of our institutions. Without those supplies being in the customary manner granted by the House Of Commons, a great deal of confusion of a temporary character must, of course, be brought down upon the hea d, o f the different departments cif the Administration. While such is unqaestienably the ease on the one side, it must on the other be admitted that the annual supp li es cannot reasonably be ex p ec t e d f rom t h e House of Commons le fore the Members of that Hou s e have heard fr om the li p s of the chi e f per onege in the Gevernment so me clear and straightforward account of the n ctual intentions of th e Adminis tration. To-eight, therefore, it is believed that the Ministerial statement will become more comprehensible than it has hitherto been through the dubious inuendoes and bewildering generalities indulged in by the principal candidates in their electioneering speeches. More secure: may we feel that such will really be the event, now that the Opposition has re solved upon extorting from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, or from one or other of his colleagues, something more than words of mystery and preva rication. Nevertheless, while we insist that some candid avowal as to the exact nature of their policy may be looked forward to by the House of Commons from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Financial Mi nister of the Government, we must still continue to maintain, as we have strenuously and dispassionately maintained from the outset, that it will be nothing less than factious to place any serious or insurmountable obstacles at the present moment in the way of her MAJESTY'S Government. That the House of Com mons should know before voting the annual supplies what are the precise tendencies of the Cabinet whose members demand those supplies from the Legislature is, of course, reasonable enough under every point of consideration. Yet, it must be allowed, as in every way equally reasonable, that Ministers situated as the present Ministers are should not be prevented froui carrying on the business of the country simply for the gratification of party feeling, or for the con solation of certain powerless and disappointed ad ministrators. The good of the country, the peace of the country, the prosperity of the country, the happiness of the country, require that the ordinary estimates should be made in due course before the newly coustructed Cabinet be forced into a deadly fight for its existence, a contest such as must inevitably lead to an imme diate dissolution of the present Parliament. Now a dissolution taking place at this particular juncture—before the supplies have even been whispered of in the House of Commons—would, under all circumstances, be little else than disastrous. Besides—it should be borne in recollection, if only out of motives of honour, not to say of magnanimity (about which Lord JOHN Rus- SELL appears to know absolutely nothing), that some regard la this matter more than customary should be bad in reference to her MAJESTY'S Ministers, seeing that their call to office is attributable not to their own eager and factious exertions to obtain power, but to the exigency of the moment, to their own acknowledged surprise, and in compliance with the demands made upon their loyalty by their SOVE REIGN. Remember, upon this point the late Cabinet was broken up,. not by any blow directed against it by the Protectionists, but by the trenchant and avenging brand of the great political chieftain—the AEON of the recent Government according to the graceful panegyric of the celebrant of " King Arthur" —the knightly champion who " Rode to war no vizor on hie helm," the administrator of whose chivalric patriotism it has been inferentially said— " Who hated Cymry, hated Aron most:" and yet one who, notwithstanding his genius, his civism, and his valour, had so very recently and so very heinously been treated by his colleagues with insult and ingratitude. The Russell Government was destroy ed, therefore, we repeat, not upon any motion of Mr. DISRAELI, but upon a motion made by Lord PALMERSTON—not upon any ques tion relating to the revival of the corn-laws, but to one referring exclusively to the re-organization of the militia. Consequently we maintain that senti ments of honour as well as sentiments of patriotism impel the representatives of the people of England to place no embarrassing obstruction at this particular juncture in the way of the present Govern ment. Hear what its members have to relate as to the nature of their intended policy—elicit from them some accurate statement as to their inten tions, in the event of their revealing any disposition to evade inquiry—but do not, for the sake of the general welfare, do not, out of motives at once of honour and of magnanimity, interfere with the course of the routine business of the country, by placing a factious obstacle in the diffi cult path just adventured upon by the ruling Administration. While we persist in upholding this view as the most generous and the most advisable in the present instance, we cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that Lord Jorns RUSSELL has the intention (after having advised her MAJESTY to send for the Earl of DERBY as his successor) of factiously, perversely, and petulantly—upon a silly pretext that free trade is in danger—administering at this early period a death-blow to the but recently created Government. Should this somewhat paltry intention of the Noble Lord be frustrated his will still be the guilt. Scelus intro se taciturn qui cogitat facti crimen habet. For the good of the nation) however, let us still hope that after the Ministerial state ment of this evening, the estimates may be brought forward in due course,. and the routine business of the country be deliberately accomplished, instead of a dissolution of the House of Commons being pre cipitately forced upon her MAJESTY'S Government. The summary dismissal of Colonel OUTRAM from his situation as Resident at Baroda, by order of the Bombay Government, will, we have no doubt, lead to inquiries of the most stringent and searching character, the result of which must necessarily prove exceedingly important at the present moment, when the renewal of the Charter to the East India Company is about to be brought under the consideration of the Imperial Parliament. The investigation cannot, however, be restricted to a single case. Colonel OUTRAM, as a British officer once highly favoured, nominated to a position of great trust and considerable emolument, having many influential friends, and the, means of sustaining and vindicating hi s character, will unquestionably obtain the fair trial which is the privilege of every British sub ject, and which should be accorded to every indivi dual who has been in any degree injured by the Bri ti,h Government, or any person deriving authority under or through that Government. If there be any feeling that prevails beyond all others in the hearts of Englishmen, it is an inherent love of justice and fair play. Accustomed to a public administration of the laws by men of great learning, of vast experience, and of unimpeached and unimpeachable honour and inte grity, they can scarcely conceive the possibility of any corruption on the Judicial Bench, or of any of their grave and venerable judges being in any degree influenced by improper motives, or of the de cisions of a high tribunal being affected by pecuniary bribes to the presiding magistrates. Any charges on such points are therefore regarded as almost incredible, and it is not until after a strong Prima facie case has been established that they will be deemed worthy of even serious consideration. But there is another point on which the feeling is e qually decided, and that is that no man shall be con demned unheard, or without having a full opportu nity o f hearing every matter that may be alleged against hi m, and of rebutting the accusations by every legitimate means. When that constitutional right—the very foundation of our national liberties — is withheld or tam pered with, full and ample relief will be afforded, and every honest man, however abilities ed he may ayonbea,mwpliell redress o dr t e h s e s deeply d or r ej • a ccorded to the aggri eved party utmost b ex ia t s e s n e t of his P as powerfthepowerful I,dl ..and dt e r n a d t eiorns earnestoo or being a ccorded we do not come forw ar d We merely allude to his case as system t which apologists for C a o n l o o t n h e e l r O a u n T d a tta a gainst which we prevails und er th e A th n e o r i j n u d s solem n have repeatedly recordeditaifinub(leovernmeno,urand unfortunate and SINGII, th e and deeply injured P deposed protests, in reference t o the case of the Raja of Sattara, who was not only deprived of his dominio ns an d consigned to what was p racti cally little better than incarceration at Benares, but whose bona fide private property was c onfiscated, in delibe rate violation of the unequivocal assurances of the Resident and the solemn pledges of the Bombay Go vernment. The inquiry that has been so constantly and perseveringly demanded has hitherto been evaded on the most frivolous and insufficient grounds, but we cannot conceive how it can be denied when the in evitable investigation into the causes of the dismissa l of Cclonel OUTRAM shall be instituted, more espe cially as it will go far to justify the report, for which the ex-Resident at Baroda has been so severely treated. We shall only briefly refer to the causes which led , but which will to the disgrace of C olonel OuTa aai be amply sufficient to establish the imperative necee sity of a Parliamentary inquiry. It appeare. that general rumours were circulating, and strong. sus picions entertained of the existence of gross. and habitual bribery and corruption, not only in the• local tribunals but also in the superior courts of the Bombay Presidency. It was loudly asserted that the course of justice was but too frequently perverted.., and that wrong could prevail over right, if sufficiently liberal douceurs could be conveyed to the judicial authorities. We do not say that these grave charges were well founded, but they undoubtedly received considerable circulation, and even particular instances were .cited in which it was declared that gross in justice had been practised. These rumours at length reached the Government, and a circular was issued to the principal officers throughout the Presidency, requiring information on the subject, and among others to Colonel Our-rnAm, as Resident at Baroda, where one of the most promi nent cases was said to have occurred. Colonel OUTRAN, as in duty bound, returned a fail and explicit answer to the inquiry, although it was by no means palatable to the authorities. There can be no doubt but that if the ratswer bad been of a favourable character—it would have been confidently appealed to as decisive on the point, and as conclusive against the validity of the allega tions. But, contrary to expectations, Colonel OUTRAM declared that " the suspicions referred to were currently and, practically operative throughout the whole district within his cognizance," and he also declared a strong opinion in favour of parties whom he believed to have been seriously injured by un warrantable and unjast decisions. Now, if this report had been made maliciously., or even on trivial or insufficient grounds, it would, in deed, be deserving of severe censure and stringent punishment. But the officer by whom it - was made should be allowed to set forth the reiu.ons by which he was actuated in arriving at such a conclusion, and establishing the bona fides of his opinion. No such opportunity was permitted to Colonel OUTRAM. He was at once superseded from his lucrative and important situation, and. the dangerous precedent was established that, if puNic officers do not decide the questions referred to them in accordance with the wishes of their superiors, they must be content to suffer the most serious co) ise quences. If this be a recognised course, we can readily conceive how useless must be the testimo n y of officials when favourable to the Government, and what weight should be attached to the honest remonstriu Ices put forward by conscientious men, regardless of the too probable results of their earnest and eners etic appeals. Considerable light is now thrown on the ME es of the severe reprimand inflicted on a gallant and i tseri torious officer, Major CARPENTER, the Goveii sor- General's agent at Benares, for having dared, w hile rendering the explanations which were required from him, to offer his disinterested and unprejudiced ,opi nion as to the entire innocence of the royal prisoncr— an opinion the expression whereof must necessn rily prove exceedingly prejudicial to his own future p ros pects, and which nothing but a strong sense of juKtice, and an earnest determination to suffer no merely :pri vate or personal motive to interfere with his imps ra tive duty as an upright and honest man, could "lave elicited. The statement of the gallant officer in. :this respect is so straightforward and conclusive, that we cannot refrain from transferring it to our colunine. lie says— When the Raja was consigned to my charge, early in 1840, I considered it necessary, for the efficient dis charge of my duties, to make myself fully acquaiz aced with the causes of his dethronement, his general re p uta tion for intrigue, and other circumstaeces connected with his character and conduct, to enable me to form a just estimate of the man with whom I had to deal, anti to guard against the consequences that might arise fi - Om any laxity of surveillance on my part. To this end I carefully studied the whole of the voluminous documents connected with his case, and the result was a belief us his innocence; and this belief has been confirmed beyom d a doubt by subsequent disclosures, and by his pledginy him self to prove it, if permitted to do so, in his letter to Sir henry Hardinge, of the 12th of ..December, 1844, forwal ded through me, and which pledge I am fully persuaded lie is able to redeem." For this he was strongly censured, being informed that the assertion of his conviction of the ex-112..7A's innocence of the charges of which he had been c on victed, and of his (the RAJA'S) ability to prove his innocence, was "as unbecoming as - it was uncalled for ;" and again, that whatever his (Major CAR VEN TER'S) private opinions, and whatever the real fa :.-4 , s of the ex-RAJA'S guilt or innocence might be, such con duct and communications were " entirely inconsimtent with the position of agent to the Governor-General charged with the care and superintendence of the ex-RAJA and his domestic arrangements ; and with the execution of the Government orders ia re spect to his treatment and position." Fortunately for Major CARPENTER, the illustrious captive was then living, and it did not suit the policy of the Angles-In dian (;government to have the public attention drawn to his case. Had it been otherwise that gallant and high-minded man might more bitterly have exiziated his military frankness in revealing unwholesome and inconvenient truths. But it was not only by persons on the' spot that the severity with which the injured Prince was treated, and the bad faith and duplicity exhibited to wards him, was unequivocally condemned. Wo find that many even of the directors recorded on the minutes of the court their earnest and solemn protests on the same subject, when Major-General ROFSERT. SON, Sir ROBERT CAMPBELL, Lieut.-Colonel S Major OLIPHANT, and Messrs. SHEPHERD, PLONN - DEN, and LOCH, entered their deliberate dissents from the course adopted by their :colleagues on the same. sub ject. Mr. SHEPHERD boldly referred to the instruc tions contained in the letter from the then GOVE rnor of Bombay, Sir J. R. CARNAC, to Lieutenant-Colonel OVENS, the resident at Sattara, that the RAJA was to be treated " as an object of sympathy, not of punish ment and to the pledge of the Governor that '" his (the RAJA'S) private property should not be inter fered with," and pertinently inquired, " could. any usage, or precedent, justify the breach of this pro mise?" The Hon. Gentleman added, "To me, therefore, it appears that the confiscation and transfer of his (PEaTeun SINGH'S) property to the present RAJA is an additional penalty inflicted on this unfortu nate Prince, not warranted by any considerations what ever." He also contended " that the act was ILLEGAL, the regulations of our Government guaranteeing to all our subjects the free possession of the property held by them, until they shall be deprived of it by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction." The protests of Major OLIPHANT and Major-Gene ral ROBERTSON are, however, even more important, referring as they de to the mode in which all inquiry into the; charges preferred by KRUSHNAJEE StIDA sEw BumEr, one of the principal accusers of the unfortunate Prince, was suppressed on the report of Lieutenant-Colonel OvEns, the party chiefly impli cated, and that although " the said KRUSHNASEE had entered into heavy recognizances, him self in 5,000 rupees, and a friend in 1,000 rupees, to prosecute the charge, with the certainty of being subjected to severe punishment, if found guilty of defamation," and having even fur nished a list of the witnesses, whose evidence would, as he asserted, confirm the accuracy of his statements, these statements accusing Lieutenant-Colonel °viols of personal bribery and corruption, declaring that " he had obtained from the Raja of SATTAEA (An -A SAHIB) payment of the sum of 1,500 rupees per mensem, to his (the Resident's) father• in-law, which, on his death, was transferred to the Resident's brother-in-law, and that when the Resident's lady and children proceeded to England, gold bullion and Ve netian necklaces were purchased and given to the Resident to the value of 50,000 rupees," acquire additional significance at the present moment, in con sequence of the dismissal of Colonel OUTRAM, and the grounds of that dismissal. We do not say that these grave accusations were well founded. Go]) forbid that we should condemn any man without allowing him to make his full d e- Ter me . But we hope and trust for the honour o f t h e British name that when the case of Colonel OUTRAM is inv es ti gated KRUSHNA the numerous petitions of JEE SUDAsEw B HIDEY and the case of PERT AUB SINGH may a l so be considered, in order that the memory of that mu c h_ wronged Prince may be vindi cated and tardy justice accorded to his lawful heir an d successor,—and th at the character of E ngland for fair play may b e re-establi s h e d in the eyes of the natives of Hindost an taug ht that truth will —that they may be ultimately prevail, however powerful the influences by Which it may for a time be suppressed. Let it be remembered, more over, that it has been observed to the central adminis trators in Leadenhall-street, " The facts and figures furnished by the Indian Government— _ . " Will co n vince every man who reads them what the real object of your conduct throughout has been, in appropriating all his domini o ns on the pretext that he left no male heir, while you yourielves make prisoner of the heir, Shahoo Rajah, and forcibly detain his person at Benares; fourth, in starving that lawful heir and adopted 80/1, and the Rajah's widow, whom also you hold captive, into a written renunciation of their right to those dominions, of which you nevertheless proclaim to the world you have assumed lawful possession;' fifth, in keeping that helpless lady and child prisoners at Benares, pending the pleasure of the Bombay Govern ment." We cannot conclude without quoting from our contemporary the Times, of the 10th instant, the statement " that all representations must be re ceived with caution from such astonishing pro ficients in forgery and deceit." If this be so, and we cordially concur in the accuracy of the assertion, how essential is it that the inquiry so strenuously, so and so in cessan tly d eman d e d by th e reign during his lifetime, and by his d p e e r p s o e s v e e d r i n s g o l v y e , representatives since his death, should be conceded even at the eleventh hour. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. Yesterday's Moniteur contains a decree for convert ing the Five per Cents, into a Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock. This decree is founded upon a report of the Minister of Finance, which, after a series of pre liminary considerations, proceeds to propose that the New Foureand - a - Half per Cents. be guaranteed for ten yea rs against ri g h t o f re i m b ursemen t, w hi c h wou ld be sufficient to induce holders of Five per Cents. to accept the conversion, nor could they have any in ducement.to exchange into the Three per Cents., which pay no more. The report then shows that to meet reimbursements, should such be demanded, the Trea sury possesses 120 millions, and which, after payment of the dividends due the 22d March, would still be nearly 100 millions. It also has 150 millions' worth of railway securities, of which 100 millions could promptly be neg o ciated, and it might easily double the 80 millions Exchequer-bills which are now out. In fine, if necessary, it could negotiate rentes. As fora S illu sion—the only proper means for reducing debt being an exceisnskoinfg Fund , the Minister thinks it an receipts—but, for sake of reserving the que stion, on a ccount o f t h ere b e ing Sinking Funds a ttached to th e other species of stock, he transfers to the New Fou r - an d- a -H a lf per Cents. the Sinking Fund which belonged to the Five per Cents. A decree conformable to these principles follow ac cordingly. The contest for the 4th arrondissement of the city began yesterday. The candidates are M. CANNOT and M. MOREAU. This is one of those elections which have had to be recommenced owing to an in sufficiency in th e number of voters. M. CARNOT, although he had a considerable majority over M. MOREAU, yet he was below the number required by law to render his return valid. Should M. CARNOT be completely successful on the present occasion, it is not thought likely that he will avail himself of his right to sit in the Corps Leg islatif, He quitted France with his family immediately after the 2d De cember, and has taken up his residence in Belgium, where he devotes himself to the education of his children. The only effect of his being elected would be to show that in the 4th, as in the 3d arrondisse- W ent, which elected General CAVAIGNAC, there is a majority hostile to the Government. The Moniteur says—" The accounts of the receipts of the taxes and the indirect revenue for the month of February have just reached the Ministry of Finance. They show an increase of nearly two millions as compared with the receipts of the corresponding month of 1851. This result is the more remarkable, as it far exceeds that of January last. It fully con firms the hopes which the re-establishment of order and authority gave rise to." The Constitutionnel says—" We learn th a t t h e difficulties which have hitherto prevented the statutes of the Paris and Lyons Railway Company from being approved of have just been removed. The company has now come to a perfect understanding with the Minister of the Interior, and it is more than probable that the delivery of the definitive shares will take place before the liquidation of the 15th in s t. The Debuts has an article on the decree authorising the establishment of Mortgage Banks. The writer appears to be decidedly favourable to the project, and predicts that it will render most important services to agriculture, provided that the precautions that are necessary to prevent an abuse of the facilities accorded be adopted. It is stated that the opening of the Senate and the Legislative Body will be preceded by a Mass du Saint Esprit, at which all the great bodies of the State will be present, and that tie opening sitting will take place in the Salles des Almeehaux at the Tuileries, as under the Empire. It has been incorrectly stated, says the Patrie, that the places in the Legislative Body were to be drawn for by lot. Nearly 200 deputies have already marked the seats which they wish to occupy. The Public says :—" it appears certain that the costumes of the deputies of the Legislative Body will only be worn by them on state occasions." It is stated that the health of AB-DEL-FADER again gives cause for uneasiness. The funeral ceremony of M A amItMAND MARRAST, who was President of the Constituent Assembly and a member of the Provisional Government, took place on Friday, in the Church of Notre Dame de Lorette. The hearse was followed by about 500 persons, amongst whom were sIM. d e L amar ti ne , G am i er p ag e, Pagnerre, Goudebaux, B as tid e , J u l es F evre , Senard, Cormenin, de Beanaset, Jourdan, Pelletant, &c. The cords of the pall were held by General Cavaignac and MM- Marie, Havin, and Corbon. After the service in the church the body, followed by the same n umber of mourners, was carried to the cemetery of Montmartre. No funeral oration was delivered. M. MARRAST was only 51 years of age. We read in the Public :—.« According to informa tion derived from a source which we are bound to regard as certain, the fusion has been concluded on the following conditions and bases :—the national flag is to be such as it was adopted by the sections of 'B9, namely, tri-coloured, quartered with fleurs de The reign of Louis PHILIPPE is to be recognised for the eighteen years during which it lasted.

At night the EMPEROR returned to Trieste. Thro ug h out the w h o l e d ay th e weat h er was magnificent. The Austrian journals state that a fire broke out in the palace of the Stadtbolder, at Warsaw, on the 6th instant, which, notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the firemen, could not be extinguished. The fire continued to burn the whole day, and the second storey was utterly destroyed. The vaults, in which are the offices containing the archives, were fortu nately preserved. 1 ' H.

Thus the authority of the King of DENMARK may now be looked upon as re established by act and deed in every part of the Monarchy. SWITZERLAND. "Our letters from Berne, of the 29th ult.," says the Journal des Debats," states that it appears certain that the Federal Council is determined at last to take vigo rous measures against the Dictator of Geneva, M. JAMES FAZY, who refuses to execute the orders of the Federal Government relative to the refugees, a considerable number of, whom are still at Geneva. M. MOOG, Federal Commissioner, delegated at Geneva for this matter, whose decision and energy are universally praised, was to have sent in a report to the Federal Council, altogether unfavourable to M. JAmas FAZY, for his non-compliance with the orders of the Federal Government. He has, it is said, presented on the point as ultimatum to the Government of Geneva. Public opinion in Switzerland has frequently declared strongly against the political conduct of M. JAMES FAZY, and an occupation of Geneva by the Federal troops would cer tainly not be disapproved of by all who wish for order and tranquillity in Switzerland." . . _ According to the last census in Switzerland, the popu lation of that country amounts to 2,302,740 individuals, of whom 71,570 are foreigners. Of the whole body 1,417,786 are Protestants, 881,809 Roman Catholics, and 3,145 Jews. Amongst the foreigners are 1,085 travellers and 1,539 political refugees. The canton of Berne contains 458,304 inhabitants, of whom 6,764 are foreigners. ITALY. The Genoa Gazette of the 11th states from Sas sari that the troops behaved with the most exemplary forbearance, and avoided using either their bayonets or cartridges, notwithstanding the provocation they were exposed to by the mob. Twenty-five persons have been arrested at Sassari. The greatest tran quillity prevailed there at the date of the last accounts. The Syndic of Turin has issued a proclamation, dated the 6th, forbidding persons not belonging to the national guard to wear the uniform, or part of the uniform, of that body, on pain of the penalties pre scribed by the laws. OVERLAND MAIL (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) We have received the following dispatch from Trieste, in anticipation of the overland mail : " TRIESTE, MARCH 14. " The steamer Egitto arrived here at half-past twelve to-day, with advices from Bombay to the 18th of February. No other collisions with the Burmese had taken place up to that date. Troops and provisions had been sent to Arracan and Moul mein, and it was said that the Burmese were arming themselves. " Ali Moorad, of Kyrpoor, had been deposed. " Imports and exports were weak.

A CORRESPONDENT).-- SisauLAß CONTRETEMPS.—On Saturday a Noble and Gal lant Lord, whose great services in India were certainly not duly recognised by the late Government, was about to pay his usual visit to the Senior United Service Club, when he observed several of its members at the door in animated conversation. The Noble Lord's approach was observed, and occasioned a sudden interruption to the conversation, and he was asked if he had heard of the glorious manner in which Sir Harry Smith had be- Gough'd the Whip ? He said he had not. The facts were, in a few words, given to him. The eye of the gallant and noble officer was lighted up with the fire of military enthusiasm, and, taking off his hat, he gave several hearty " hurrahs." His hat nearly brushed a gentleman who was passing. That gentleman was —Earl Grey. He must have felt the cause of the gallant officer's enthusiasm. — Herald. [lt is scarcely necessary to observe that the gallant nobleman above alluded to was no ther than Lord Gough, Viscount of Goojerah.—ED. Sun.] ALLOWANCES TO THE STRIKE HANDS.—The strike hands (engineers) were on Saturday paid their ninth week's strike pay, at the usual rate, viz., 15s. for society, and 10s. for non-society hands. The moulders, who possess but a small accumulated fund, have hitherto paid their strike hands the sum provided by the rules of their society, viz., ss. per week; but, finding it impossible that they could con tinue to exist on such an allowance, their executive com mittee h as ca lled for a day's p ay per week, to be contributed by every member in work, for the purpose of enabling them to increase the strike allowance to 10s., an arrangement which will be brought in operation next week. The labourers, of whom but few additional have been employed during the week, shared less on Saturday than in any previous week, the highest amount not exceeding Is. branch they were penniless. while in one EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT AT THE FoREIGN oFncE.—A very extraordinary accident, which might have been attended with serious consequences, occurred a few days since at the Foreign-office. The new Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of Malmesbury, had made an appointment to meet his Excellency the Austrian Mi nister at three o'clock in the afternoon. His Excellency arrived at the hour appointed, but the Earl of Malmesbury having been unexpectedly engaged for some time previous, requested Count Buol to oblige him by calling again at four o'clock. In the interval between three and four the whole of the ceiling of the room in which the Noble Earl would have received the Austrian Minister fell with a tre mendous crash, covering the tables, and chairs, and floor of the apartment with the debris of the plaster, which was between three and four inches thick. The accident occa. sioned much alarm, but, as the room was unoccupied at the time, fortunately no person suffered a n y p ersonal injury. It is understood that the whole of the buildings on the south side of Downing-street are in a very insecure condition, and quite unfit for Government offices. THE OUTWARD CAPE MAIL.—PLYMOUTH, MARCH 14.—The General Screw Steam-Shipping Company's mail packet Hellespont, Captain Watts, is appointed to sail on Tuesday, the 16th inst., at 2 P.M., with mails for Sierra Leone, St. Vincent, and the Cape of Good Hope. She has a full cargo of British manufactured goods, 50,000/. in specie for payment of the troops, jewellery, plate for G enera l Cathcart, the newly-appointed Governor in place of Sir Harry Smith, &c. During her stay in the docks she has thoroughly overhauled, and under the superintendence of Captain Watts, she has been completely fitted by Mr. Gor don, sailmaker to the Customs, with a complete suit of sails on the plan of the yacht America. By this arrangement considerable additional speed is expected to be obtained, and her progress down channel justified the expectation. She left the docks at 6 A.M. on Thursday, and arrived in the Sound at a quarter past 12 o'clock on Friday. The last voy ago out and home of the Hellespont was the most rapid yet made. She left Plymouth on the 15th of November and returned on the 30th of January. Her outward passage, in cluding stoppages, was done in 35 days 9 hours; homeward, 32 days 18 hours. She was exactly seven days at the Cape. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM AN INFURIATED BULLOCK. —On Saturday morning about nine o'clock as:a large number of foreign beasts, just arrived in London, were being driven towards the lairs in St. John-street-road, near the Angel, one of the bullocks attacked an old woman who keeps as apple stall, and so seriously injured her by butting at her that she was obliged to be removed to a neighbouring sur geon's. It was a long time before the beast could be made to desist from his attack. The woman died in the course of the night. FOREIGN POLICE IN LONDON.—The Prussian Go vernment has appointed a Lieutenant of Police (Greif) to be stationed in London, for the purpose of watching over the movements of the German refugees here, and reporting to head-quarters thereon.
