The Ramsgate branch of the South-Eastern Railway was opened on Monday. The direetors, including the chairman, Mr. Macgregor, Lord Torrington, Mr. liar ding, Mr. Randa'l, left the Bricklayers' Arms station at half-past eleven o'clock, in a special train, for the pur pose of being present at a public dinner, to which they had been invited by the authorities of Ramsgate in cele bration of the event. The tram, which was decorated with flags, and carried a brass band, consisted of ten carriages. At Tunbridge and Ashford a considerable addition was made to the number of passengers. At Canterbury a very numerous concourse of persons awaited the arrival of the special train, and greeted it with hearty cheering as it entered the station. At the same moment tnat the special train came abreast of the offices, a train of 24 carriages, crammed with inhabi tants of Ramsgate, who had been permitted by the liberality of the dirt ctors of the Company to have a free trip to Canterbury, also rea&a.d the station, and mingled their cheers with those of the inhabitants of the latter town. After waiting a few minutes to take in other passengers the train proceeded over the new branch, which is nearly 16 miles in length. The works, for the first 13 miles are very light, the greater portion being on the natural surface of the land. The characteristic gradient of this portion of the line is lin 264. Beyond the 13th mile the works enter the chalk, and the gradient is 1 in 100 for about three miles The works, which have been constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Cubitt, jun., assisted by Mr. Ford, the resident engineer of this branch, are substan tial, and admirably executed. They reflect much credit upon those gentlemen as well as upon the contractors. The opening of this branch places Ramsgate, Whit stable, Canterbury, Ashford, Dover, and Folkestone in railway communication with each other. Margate, to which place the South-Eastern Company are construct ing a line, will soon be added to the list. The direct irs of the Company certainly had no reason to complain of the mode in which they were received at Ramsgate. The streets through which it was known they would pass in their way to the Albion, at which the dinner was to take place, was litersily one mass of royal standards, union jacks, and every possible descrip tion of flag. That these marks of joyfulness were not empty ones, may perhaps be best gathered from the fact that nearly every shop in the town was closed. In truth, the people of liam*gate are evidently quite sensible of the benefit which must flow to them from their connexion by railway with Canterbury, Ashford, and the metro polis, and they testified this not only by the enthusiastic manner in which they received the directors when they reached the terminus, and cheered them as they passed through the town, but also by the frank and cordial re ception they gave them at the festive board. About 140 gentlemen sat down to dinner at the Albion. Mr. Sackette, the deputy, presided, and was supported by the most wealthy and influential inhabis tants of the town, by the Mayor of Canterbury. the Deputy of Margate, and by a considerable number of the local magistracy. We also observed several of the influential proprietors of the railway, who had also been invited to attend. Some very excellent speeches were delivered after dinner. The cha man (Mr. Sackette), in a short but pithy address, pointed out the advantage which railway communication with the metropolis must be to Rams gate, possessing as it does a harbour accessible at all states of the tide, and disposed, as the directors of the South-Ea-tern Company had proved themselves to be, to afford every facility in their power to render the journey from London to Ostend, viii Ram-gate, both speedy and convenient. They had placed two splendid steam. boats on the station, second to none both fiir speed and accom modation, and hail mani'ested their earnest desire to afford every facility to render available the natural ad vantages of Ramsgate far the passage between London and the north of Europe. The chairman was followed by the Mayor of Canter bury, who spoke of the benefit that had already been conferred upon Canterbury by the railway; by the Deputy of Margate, who expressed a hope that he should have the pleasure of entertaining the South-Esstern directors as his guests at Marfcate; by the Rev. Mr. Snowden, who spoke of the moral advantage which an extension of the railroad system is calculated to confer on society, and by many of the inhabitants, some of whom pledged themselves to use every possible exertion to second the energy and libe rality which had marked the exertions of the South-Eastern Company in the extension of their line to Ramsgste, and in placing fast and commodious steam boats upon the station, to run between that port and Ostend. Indeed, there seemed to be a hearty and general feeling to promote in every possible way the liberal policy of the South-Eastern Company. Mr. Macgregor, the chairman of the company, in speaking to the toast of the evening—viz., "Prosperity to the South-Eastern Railway Company," which was enthusiastically responded to—expressed his deep sense of the very kind and hospitable manner in which the authorities and inhabitants of Ramsgate had received the directors of the company. He observed that the proper policy of a railway company was to identify its interests with those of the public. This the South Eastern di rectors had endeavoured to do ; and he assured the au thorities and inhabitants of Ramsgate that the South- Eastern Company would do all it possibly could to make available, both for the benefit of the town as well as fur that of' the public, the advantages which the magnificent harbour of Ramsgate presented to those proceeding from London to the north of Europe. In truth, it was the desire of the company to render the passage between London and Ostend as regular as the journey by the mail coach. Viscount Torrington also addressed the company in an excellent speech, and pointed out the advantages which the South-Eastern Company's projects for accommodat ing Kent with railway communication have over those promoted by what are termed the " independent" North Kent schemes. In fact, he said, he had heard it very pithily remarked that the latter (Vigiteles') line might be likened to the clothes bought at a slop-shop, while those promoted by the South-Eastern Company—viz., by Mr. Robert Stephenson, were, as every one could see, clothes that had been cleverly measured for, and fitted admirably. During the evening the healths of Mr. Cubitt, jun., and Mr. Ford, the resident engineer of the branch line, were proposed and drank with all the honours. The dinner was substantial and well served, and the evening passed off in a.manner as creditable to the good sense and hospitality of the authorities and people of Ramsgate as it must have been gratifying to the directors of the company. The special train left Ramsgate at ten o'clock last night, and arrived at the Bricklayers' Arms a little before two o'clock, having been detained a considerable time by the usual goods trains. We cannot close this brief notice of the celebration of the opening of this branch line without tendering our thanks to the Chairman, Mr. James Macgregor, the Chairman of the Company, for the courtesy we, in common with the rest of the press, received at his hands. We have also to thank Mr. Ilberry, the superintendent of the line, for the kind assistance he has always been and is ever ready to afford to the members of the press when travelling by special train. ENGLAND'S LOVE OF PEACE AND READINESS FOR WAR. (From the Examiner.) There is not a country in the world so desirous of peace as England, and that there is none better prepared tor war the brilliant campaign on the Sutlej most strikingly shows. It is clear that our arms have not rusted in peace, and that the service was never in a higher state of efficiency. And this observation does not apply merely to the forces in a part of our immense empire. Wherever our soldiers and sailors have been I put to the trial, the same prowess has been manifested with the same glorious and rapid success. In China, in Syria, in Sinde, awl in the retrievement of the Affghan disasters, they have proved themselves irresistible, and it has been one career of triumph. There have been no protracted wars, no barren campaign; England has only had to stretch out her arm to strike, and the foe has been crushed. We have seen gigantic Russia opposed for two years by feeble Turkey, we have seen her defied and repulsed by the petty robber chief of Khiva, and bending her power for years against the Circassians, who have held her at arm's length, often defeating her, and in her small successes leaving her little to boast. France in Algeria presents another example. Whole armies have been absorbed there. A deluge of blood has been wasted, like water spilt in the desert. It is the vain labour of the ')anaides, with this difference, that the sieves are to be filled with blood. The work is for ever to begin again; victory and disaster taking their turns without end; Abd-el-Kader crushed fur ever one day, and making head again the next. Yet in AL . leria France has a terrible military school. It has been described as the soldier-mill, into whiA three men are put and g ound into one doughty warrior. It might be supposed that there was nothing that such an army could nut effect, but yet they effect nothing— nothing decisive. True, they have an elusive enemy to deal with, and when they beat the Arabs it is like threshing water. We do not deny the pecu liar difficulties, though we have a notion that if England had chosen to encounter them, she could have found better methods of coping with them ; but let the cau-es of the failure of the Fren c h b e what they may. there stands the example of her long losses and miscarriages in compari son with England's instant successes. wherever ther ngland power of r arms has been put forth. Let it be that E ngland ,lakes better choice of her of j_ eta ; th , t she does not involve herself in schemes of con q uest be y ond her strength ; such explanation is p raise enough which as- signs to her the armed wisdom of which Pallas was the type. Whatever the occasions are, there are always the conduct and courage to meet them ; and the sword is not long out of the scabbard, nor ingloriously re turned to it. Proportionate, indeed, to the reluctance with which it is drawn, is the dazzling rapidity with which it performs its task. And most satisfactory it is to note that no love of war, nor lust fee conquest, grows upon these successes. The nation, proud as it is of its tri anphs, prizes them most as securities for future peace, net as encourage ments to war. '['he public is never more pacific in its dispositions and aspirations than at the successful ter mination of hostilities. It is not for vain-glorious boast that we have made the comparison between the rapid achievements of Eng land and the protracted wars and imperfect successes of other powers. The lesson we would note is this • that the country whose interests and whose di:positions are most strongly pacific, is, nevertheless, the best prepared for war, and the promptest and most successful in vindi cating her cause by arms whenever she is compelled to it. As England has no love fur war, s.r, when she is in it, she is happily able to make short work of it. Othr r people are as brave, but somehow or other they h:ive not the same knack of giving effect to their bravery ' at least so it appear s i n t h e compar i sons that have happened to be presented within the last 9 0 years. We often join in the grurnblings at the management of the navy, but maintaining still that there are occa sions and opportunities of improvement, it is our thorough conviction that the two services were never in a higher state of efficiency ; and that never were there in them so many able and zealous men devoted to their professions, and thoroughly skilled in them. The last example of what they can do we rate of inestimable value, not only as regards the safety and peace of the Indian empire, but as it must tend to discourage the propensity to war in other parts of the world. England has her share of faults ; she is over bearing and proud, and much too proud for vulgar bluster; but people who have drawn fake inferences from her dischining to play the braggart, will have learnt to correct their mistake on seeing how she acquits her self when reluctan:ly forced into quarrel—the might she exerts with such wondrous ease—the mettle that works miracles, like that of the heroes who marched up to the Seikh tete du port, vomitting the ;ire of two tiers of admi rably served cannon, as if in parade order, halting to close up their ranks when rent by the storm of round shot and grape, and toiling through nearly a mile of heavy sand, as if they had nothing to do with but the disadvantages of the ground, and the shot and shell were nothing to them except as they deranged the correctness of the line. Rich as are our annals of war in all circum stances of conduct and bravery, we question whether they present any equal to that gallant exploit, in which the native troops so largely and gloriously shared. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY. The Ferret, 8, Commander George Sprigg, arrived on Thursday mooning from Sheerness. She is going to the coast of Africa, and will take a mail to the Island of As tension. Ferret sailed yesterday morning for Plymouth, taking the supernumeraries for that port which were to have gone by Emerald. The Nautilus, 6, Lieut.-Commander John J. M‘Donell, arrived on Thursday morning from off Brighton, to re cruit provisions and water. Flying Fish, 12, Com. Harris. On the morning of the 4th of December, a strange sail was discovered, close under land, by this vessel, stationed off the Gold Coast. All sail was made, as the stranger appeared trying to get out to seaward. At nine o'clock the wind fell; the Fly ing Fish then got out sweeps, and the hard work of row ing the brig was kept up until one o'clock with such trifling succk ss, th►t it was feared, if the wind should spring up, the chase would escape. It was now a per fect calm, and in this state of affairs Lieutenant St. Leger volunteered to take her with the two whale-boats, the only boats on hoard, as the pinnace and cutter were out on a week's cruise with the First Lieutenant. In a few minutes the boats were alongside, manned and armed, and stretching out with eighteen men, under three hearty cheers, towards the chase, now distant about six or seven miles. When they were distant about three-quarters of a mile, they lay on their oars to take breath before boarding. This was an anxious moment, and all eyes and glasses were directed towards them, when, just as the men were giving way again, the chase dropped her ensign and surrendered. She proved to be the brig Eliza, only one year old, and fitted up for slaves three weeks before, when she cost 8,000 dollars. After cruising about for a month wider command of Lieut. St. Leger, she was sent up to be condemned. SHIPS AT PORTSMOUTH.—At Spithead—Superb, Ter• rible, Cyclops, Retribution, Scourge, and Electra.

ROYAL MARINES. —Lieutenant Edward T. P. Shewen, to be Quarter-master to the Portsmouth Division, vice Charles Miller, promoted to the rank of captain ; Mr. Edward Lawes Pym (who was removed from the list of lieutenants, and who was tried, but acquitted, at the last Winchester Assizes, for being concerned in the duel at Brown Down, near Gosport, in which Mr. Sewn lost his life), has been restored to his former rank in this corp., POPULAR PitEACHERS IN PARIS. In appreciating the congregations of the various churches of Paris, we might learn the character of the quartet, the ideas, the habits, and the social condition of the population who dwell there. The various quarters of Paris do not resemble each other, and each parish has its distinct character, and its peculiar physiognomy. The conferences at Notre Dame form the exception. The auditory who throng to the interior of the cathedral belong to all quarters of the city. Each parish is repre sented by a deputation of the elite—they who should assign this numerous and distingue assemblage to the po pulation of the pari-h of Notre Dame would fall into sin gular error. The inhabitants of this quarter, for the most part, go very rarely to church, and, except during the conferences, the vast aisles of this edifice witness the performance of divine service in comparative solitude. The Abbe Lacordaire and the Abt de Ravignan, whose characteristics are so utterly opposed to each other, of talent so different, present a remarkable con trast with the Abb; Bautain, the preacher this year at Madeleine. M. Bautain is a thinker of the German school, is in the pulpit the philosopher who discusses, the logician of close argument who presses you forcibly with his reasonings, but who does not move, affect you. M. de Ravignan has a manner peculiarly his own—me li thodical austere, and somewhat cold, but lucid, close, . precise : he addresses himself to the understanding, and endeavours to enlighten and convince. His reasons are not always the most conclusive, but he speaks with con viction, and this conviction seems so deeply identified with himself, that be ends by persuading his hearers. Alter the triumph of most exaltei eloquence, !Pie believe that there is nothing more admirable than this, and we hardly know if it be not the more effective of the two. A brilliant orator of the Chamber of Deputies (M Thiers), who eovets every kind of glory, became a pro phet with regard to M. de Ravignan. The Hon. Mem ber predicted, at the beginning of Lent, that the cele brated Jesuit would preach in the desert, and that Notre Dame would bewail her solitude. But M. Thiers was a false prophet, for the conferences are quite as much fol lowed as those of last year. The Abbe Lacordaire h as a vivid imagination, full of vigour and impulses. U n d er t h e w hi te gown of the Do minican. we find the y oung an d i mpetuous editor of the A . war of 1831. M. Lac or d a i re appea l s to t h e imgina lion, excites, affects it; he has fire and enthusiasm, and he would influence his auditory, if i n t h ese our t i nes such a thing were possible. Yet his style is something too free, and his sallies, whi c h are not a l ways i n the best possible taste, are sometimes eccentric. He amuses his auditory at times even t o l aug h ter, and derives his ideas froth it instead of inspirin g it w ith hi s persona l feeling. At one of his late discourses, M. Odilon Barrot, as he quitted Notre Dame, characterised him thus— " He is neither Christian enough nor Catholic enough." The honourable member conforms this opinion with one of the most distinguished prelates in France, who lately remarked at a clerical meeting, that the Pere Lacordaire was dangerous, from the character he gave to his con ferences, departing, as he did, so much from the theo logical severity and gravity of a sermon. It may be said that the Abbe Lacordaire is an orator, Pete Bautain, a philosophical thinker, and M. de Ravignan, (who left the bar for the pulpit), a preacher. The first interests—the second attracts—the third persuades. LORD LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION.—The Noble Lord, although defeated et the last election for the Southern Division, has not forgotten to thank in a special manner such of the electors as, on that trying occasion, recorded their votes in his favour. A letter, of which the following is a copy, has been sent by post to ovary elector who voted for the IS'oble Lord Whitehall-place, March 10, 1846.—Dear request you to accept my warmest thanks for the support which you gave me by your vote in the late contest for the representation of South Not tingham. Although defeated in that contest, I shall ever look back with pleasure upon the many marks of persona kindness and regard which I experienced, and. s h a ll remeui ber with gratitude the exertions which 1,049 tliends made in my behalf.—l am, dear sir, yours very Vottingham Review. f a ithfUlly, Lirwor.s." EASTER l'Eum.—Moarlay was a holiday at all the law offices. On the commencement of Term, on NVednesday, the several Courts will proceed, with the arrears. In the Courts of Common Pleas and E xc hequer the arrears are of a limited character, but in the Court of Queen's Bench they are considerable. There is one reizistration appeal case in the Common Pleas—New Sarum—Wells appellant, and Adey respondent. THE BRITISH COnN TRADt. (From the Mark-lane Express.) The probabilities in favour of the passing of the new Corn Importation Bill continue to form the chief topic of conversation among farmers and corn merchants ; the prevailing opinion seems to be that the measure will meet with strong opposition in the Lords, and that it will ultimately be carried ; in which belief we are disposed to concur, as it is reasonable to suppose that Sir Robert Peel is pretty certain of his strength in the Upper House, and he has hitherto shown no want of confidence in his ultimate success. It is, neverthe less, clear that the new duties cannot be expected to come into force much before June, as the Irish Coercion Bill is to be proceeded with in the Commons after the Easter recess, until it shall have been advanced so far as the third reading; there is, consequently, very little prospect of the corn trade recovering from its present inactive position for weeks to come ; for so long as the slightest doubt is felt in regard to the laws by which future importations are to be regarded, all parties will naturally deem it prudent to confine their opera tions within very narrow limits. The only circumstance which could, in our opinion, give rise to speculation at present, would he the occurrence of weather cal culated to prove injurious to the growing crop. Even more than ordinary interest must attach to the next harvest, and the slightest indication of mischief would be sufficient to create alarm. That such should be tl:e case is p-rfectly natural, for not only are the stocks of old wheat short in this country, but over the greater ?art of Europe the crop of 1845 was so defi cient that it is not unreasonable to presume that the article will have hecome scarce at all the principal con tinental ports before the produce of this year can be ready for gathering. We stated in our last number that the reports respecting the wheat plant were not uni versally favourable, and the weather experienced in the early part of theespweoetekofwatbsecoeorotanitnrlyy;nsoitnooef Wednesday avcehdanraescdteayr toimprove the an auspicious change has, however, taken place, to tbece, and we are disposed to place but little imp ortance discolouration of the blade, caused by the recent cold rains. On the whole, we regard the prospects for the future as promising ; but we must repeat the remark made on a former occasion, that to enter into any pre dictions at this early period, of the probable result of the harvest, would be mere guess work. From some cause not easily explained, holders of wheat, who last week appeared to be losing confidence, have resumed a very firm tone, and at several of the leading provincial markets a portion of the recent decline has been re covered ; at the same time we can notice no improve ment in the demand,' purchasers having conducted their operations on the same retail scale as before. The re gular course of business has, besides, been more or less interfered with by some of the leading markets .ha v ing, in consequence of Good Friday, been — hethrff there-es. - miler day ; notwithstanding which, fine wheat has slightly advanced in value. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, the best qualities were held 2d. per 70Ibs. above the currency of that day seinnight, and needy buyers had no alternative but to pay the advance ; since then very little business ap pears to have been done there, but the rise previously established was supported on Thursday. In bonded wheat little appears to have been done at that port beyond small purchases for immediate liberation by cer i tificates. The advices from the western and north-western parts of the kingdom are of a similar nature to those from the places already named, the tendency of prices having been rather upwards at Birmingham, Bristol, Glott cester, &c. In the agricultural districts the value of wheat seems likewise to have been well supported this week, the growers having scarcely brought forward sufficient to meet the demand, limited as has been the latter. It is always a difficult matter to form anything like an accu rate estimate of the quantity of grain remaining in the hands of the farmers ; considering the character of the Proposed change in the duties, the probability is, that they have been less disposed than usual to hold back, surd we therefore incline to the belief that, in comparison to the quantity secured (and we maintain that the last crop. was short of an average), there is less in the hands or the growers than in ordinary years at the corresponding period. The somewhat firm tone of the advices from the south seems to have had the effect of checking the retrogsdes movement in prices in Scotland ; and we learn from Ed inburgh, under the date of Wednesday, that fine dry qualities of wheat had met with some attention, and had realised fully former terms. Barley had also brought quite as much money, and oats had advanced Is. per quarter. At Glasgow, on Wednesday, the trade was also very firm for all articles. and the turn was, in most instances, in favour of the seller. Our private letters from Ireland confirm the state ments repeatedly put forth by the Government relative to the scarcity of provisions in the sister isle, and Or e consequent distress among the poorer classes, Tee dearness and inferior quality of potatoes had, it is sta', :e d, caused ea unusually large consumption of oatmeal ; this circumstance, and the recent advance in the value of oats in the English markets, had induced holders of the latter article to raise their pretensions, and, high as prices now are on this side, they are still relatively low in com parison to the rates generally asked at the leading Irish shipping ports. Owing to Good Friday, we have only had two business days at Mark-lane this week. Of Monday's market we gave our usual report in our last number, and we have! therefore, merely to notice the transactions which took place on Wednesday; they were of too little importuni t y to require lengthened comment, still it may be as well to mention each article separately. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into Londe - en have amounted to only 3,379 qrs., whilst by 'And-car riage of samples from the home counties the show was trifling in the extreme on Wednesday ; the little exhibited consisted, for the most part, of inferior qualities of red lett ovf.se from Monday. The inquiry for these was by no msans lively, but factors were not disposed to accept less money ; and the few parcels which changed hands were sold at rates quite equal to those current M the beginning of the week. Our millers are in want of really dry parcels of Eng glish wheat ; and had any such appeared, rather en hanced terms would probably have been paid. Superior old wheat is also much required, and as there is none of fine quality remaining in granary, the abso lute necessities of buyers have obliged them to release small quantities out of bond (principally by certificates). On the other hand, there has been no speculative in quiry for lock wheat ; and, though previous prices have been realised for the moderate quantity taken to supply the pressing wants of the town millers, it would have been impossible to have made important sales even at considerably reduced rates. We have again to report s large arrival of wheat from abroad, 29,874 qrs. having come to hand up to this (Saturday) evening. A large proportion of the supply is from the Mediterranean, and consists of secondary qualities, not likely to meet with much favour at present. The flour trade has remained in a wretched dull state, and, though present prices of the article, as compared with those of wheat, do not pay the miller very hand somely for grinding, the bakers appear to anticipate a reduction, and consequently refuse to increase their stocks. Bonded flour has been rather more pressingly offered, and purchases might, in particular instances, have been made on terms which would not previously have been accepted, Barley has come rather sparingly to hand, the receipts for the week consisting of 4,706 qrs. from our own coast, and 1,508 from abroad. The transactions were, on Wednesday on a strictly retail scale, but needy buyers had to pay fully former rates, not only for the finer sorts, but likewise for the common descriptions. In malt there was scarcely anything doing ; and in the absence of operations of importance, quotations re mained nominally unaltered. The arrivals of oats have not been large from any quarter, and, inclusive of 2,940 qrs. from abroad, the. total supply up to Saturday . evening amounts to only p ls e 15, q. i ?e r n s sh T o r h t e n w f e t e h k e l Ty u r z e t i i p t y t s hr h e q a ng fo fo r r so loc me ee al w nnn_ ks e s t u o c m k p s t i i o n n , d consi de rable s i a nro nd a p ds n.ce a s v h e av b e ee g n rad m u ad al e ly i c n re t he e t up. On Wednesday there was not much passing, still needy purchasers had to pay quite Monday's currency. Beans were even more neglected than in the com mencement of the week ; in partial cases this article might have been bought the turn cheaper. White peas also hung heavily on hand, but maple and grey were in fair request, at th,.+ recent improvement. DULWICR G ALLERY.—T his interesting collection of paintings was on Monday visit e d by upwar d s of 500 persons. VICTORIA PARK.—OR Monday, this locality was. thronged all day with visitors, to see the progress of work& to which the eastern inhabitants of the metropolis havel, until lately, been strangers. On Good Friday the number of visitors was estimated at about 25,000, which was yester day considerably exceeded. Great activy is shown its the progress of the plantations, upwards of 20,000 trees and shrubs being now in the ground, and the leading roads and foot paths being completed. A handsome lodge, in the Elias bethan style of architecture, for the residence of Mr. Ones, the forester, has been completed at the entrance from Bishop . Bonner's Fields, which is across an adjacent iron bridge of very light and elegant construction; and the whole of the pales and railings are up, the park being now thoroughly inclosed. A plot has been staked out near this entrance, of about four acres in extent, on which to form a piece of orna mental water. The regulations of St. James's park with re gard to the admission of visitors are observed as far as possi ble, the park-keepers having orders to exclude all disorderly and drunken persons, itinerant venders and dogs. Notwith standing the number congregated the last few days, and the very promiscuous nature of the assemblage, the utmost order has been preserved by an efficient staff of park-keepers under the direction of Mr. Mobbs, the chief gate-keeper, and very trifling injury or damage was done. The plan of a er:ientifio arboretum is being adhered to in the plantations.
