THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Pays and Constitutionnel csmrnent on the report of Colonel ESPINASSE on the Socialist organi zations in the south of France. The former concludes its observations by a recommendation of clemency as the most efficacious mode of restoring calm. " That Socialism," it says, " had invaded a part of France is but toe true, but what is to be done? What means are to be employed to prevent the return of that invasion after having dissolved it? It is not by striking all the guilty. Colonel Espinasse himself admits that that is impossible. The ens-half of France cannot exile or imprison the other half. What is necessary is that hatred should be extinguished, that passions should be calmed down, that divisions should be removed, , that ideas should be corrected, that interests should oe founded, and that the Government which bas triumphed over all resistance by the force of its right, should triumph over all rancour by the importance of the t benefits it co nf er s. This policy of pacification, whatever may be said to the contrary, is without danger, because a Government which is generous enough to offer peace to the vanquished makes itself, by so doing, stronger to crush its enemies when they resist." The Constitutionnel writes in the same strain : " We have faith in the complete efficacy of clemency when judiciously employed. The human mind, even when led astray by political passions, is accessible to gratitude. Louis Napoleon may have made ingrates, and an odious crime lately committed in the Yonne is a proof that he has; but weare also certain that, amongst those whom he has pardoned, there is more than one who will always gratefully remember what has been done. In addition, apart from the hardened conspirators who have made to themselves an inveterate hsbit of the emotions, hopes, and calculations of their calling, we do not forget that in the army of insurrections and revolts, there are a great number of men who have inhaled the destructive air of the secret societies, and who have there caught the revolutionary fever. For them the at mosphere has changed. At present the Government is strong, and knows how to make itself respected. France has spoken high and firmly in a double election. Doubt is no longer allowable as to her intentions and her will. Such a situation is well calculated to enlighten and re call to wholesome ideas, feeble natures, enthusiastic imaginations, and hearts still open to honest sentiments." The Asse m bli e N at i onale introduces the report o f _Colonel E SPINASSE with an observation that it con firms the opinion that it had expressed of the extent of Socialism, and the necessity of severity for its re pression. Public opinion will probably be divided on this subject, for some allowance is to be made for the difference of judgment in the special commission. M. QUENTIN BAUCHART'S report seemed to indicate that the large application of clemency would produce a satisfactory result; M. Esetriasse thinks the reverse. There is an article in the Siede in defence of the bourgeoisie. The writer states that some journals have attempted to cast a reproach upon this class of the nation, and demands for it the consideration to which it is entitled. The Siecle says, "It cannot be lieve that the Government will fall into the error of disregarding the importance of this class of society. If it has this belief, it is right ; if it only professes it, the sooner it acquires conviction the better. No Government that should attempt to reduce the just influence of the bourgeoisie could last long. It may be necessary to prevent it from assuming for itself more than its fair share of importance ; but without the bourgeoisie the Government would have no real bases of strength." A decree authorizes the Minister of Finance to ins scribe on the great book of the public debt a sum of 4,403,4361'. Three per Cents. Rentes in exchange for 4,475,655 f. 90c. Four-and-a-Half per Cents., which are to be annulled. A sinking fund of the one per cent. on the nominal capital taken from the sinking fund belonging to the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Rentes will be applied to the Three per Cent. Rentes created by the PRE SIDENT'S decree. The Patric says : " The amount standing to the credit of the Treasury, at the Bank of France, was at the beginning of this month 70,000,000 f. I t now exceeds 100,000,000 f. This fact alone is sufficient t o s h ow the absurdity of the re ports of a contempl a t e d l oan which have been in circu lation for the last few days." In the account rendered by the Patrie of the funeral service in honour of Marshal GERARD it gives the title of King to JEROME BoNerea TE , who was present, for whom moreover " the place of honour was reserved." After a general description of the altar, catafalque, &c., the Patrie proceeds " Seats had been prepared for the officers of the Pre sident of the Republic, the Marshals, Ministers, Senate, Legislative Body, officers of land and sea, and high func tionaries. These places were successively occupied by Ring Jerome, Governor of the Hotel des Inealicies, and brother of the Emperor Napoleon, accompanied by all his officers of ordonnance. The place of honour had been reserved for him." Then amongst the names of distinguished per sonages present is given that of "Prince NAPOLEON, ton of Ki n g J EROME ." Th e official Moniteur copies verbatim the description of the Patric, with the repe tition of the title of King applied to JEROME. The Patrie of Tuesday evening confirms the state ment that the Government has raised what is called the conflict" concerning the affairs of the domains °f Neuilly and Monceaux, and is about to bring the Matter before the Council of State, and adds, that notice of it was formally given to the parties on that day. The Constitutionnel states that, according to the business now in preparation, it is tp be presumed that the Legislative Body will, from Monday next, sit every day without any further adjournment. e The Council of State met on Monday and Tuesday at a general sitting, to examine the budget of 1853. It ig said that the credits show but little difference e from those of 1852. The present amount of troops is to be maintained. The general deficit, it is said, will be above forty millions, but that sum will be considerably diminished by accumulations of credits. The lndependance of Brussels says :—" According to one of our Paris correspondents, nothing is more simple than the explanation of the insertion, in an Imperial Russian almanack, of the elder branch of the BOURBONS, and the omission of the PRESIDENT of the Republic ; the said almanack has never contained the names of any but royal families. The PRESIDENT of the United States, and the CHIEF of the Swiss Con federation, are never mentioned in it; and it was natural, therefore, that the PRESIDENT of the French Republic should not be. Thus, then, this affair is one of which it may be said that there has been " much ado about nothing.' " The officers of the 2d battalion of the National Guard gave a dinner on Monday at the Palais Royal to General LAWCESTINE, to Count TURGOT, their former Colonel, to Colonel VIERA, and to their Cap tain, LEDIEU. i The greatest cordiality prevailed, and the health of Louis .NAPOLEON was drunk with en thusiasm.

GERMANY. The troops forming the garrison of Carlsrhue took, nn the 25th, the oath of fidelity to the Prince REinuicK, as Regent of the Grand Duchy of Baden. A Commission was some time ago formed by the GOVE rnments of Austria and Prussia for the purpose of drawing up a law on the press, applicable to all the Germanic Confederation. But in consequence of dissensions which have arisen between the two Cabinets on the subject, the labours of the Commis sion have ceased without any result having been Come to. A letter from Munich in the Emancipation of Brussels says, that it is not true, as has been as serted, that the BAvarian Cabinet has resolved to op- Pose the measures which Prussia may recommend in the Customs' Congress of Berlin; on the contrary, it has directed it, plenipotentiary to display a concilia tory spirit.

I The Amazon, 26, Captain Barker, arrived at Spit head this morning from the East Indies and the Cape of Good Hope. She has a week's later news from the latter place, having left Simon's Bay on the 7th of March. Hostilities had bee❑ partially suspended by the Kafirs, who had sued for peace ; but, as they would not agree to the terms of unreserved submis sion which Sir Harry Smith laid down, he was ar ranging a plan of operations on an effective scale, and would take the field on the Bth of March, with the whole of the levies, with whom, in person, he intended to cross the Kei. Colonels Mitchell and Eyre, in the A.matolas, had been very successful. They had destroyed, the whole of the crops, taken large quantities of cattle, and killed twenty of the enemy, with a loss to the British of three killed and wounded. A desperate engagement had taken place on the north-eastern frontier, between a patrol under Com mandant Gilfillan and a large body of Tambookies, i❑ which the latter lost 100 men and 1,000 head of cattle ; the burghers had five killed and three wounded. Macomo retained his hold of Waterkloof, with, be sides his own clan, 2,800 allies. Their expulsion ap peared almost hopeless. Colonel Cole and the 12th Lancers had destroyed all the enemy's crops in the Kabonsa. General Cathcart had not arrived at the Cape. The Amazon has brought home the survivors of the Birkenhead's crew. Not a single other survivor had been heard of than those already reported. The Dutch barque Juno, Captain Chevalier, from Batavia to Dordrecht, was wrecked March 2, on the fatal Cape Laguelhas, and two ladies and three chil dren, passengers, were drowned. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. TAVISTOCK. The retirement of Mr. Trelawny, the late Member for Tavistock, having rendered a fresh election necessary, the nomination of candidates to fill the vacant office took place in the Guildhall on Tuesday; at ten o'clock, the candidates (Messrs. R. Phillimore and Samuel Car ter) and their committees and friends, and also the com mittee and friends of Mr. Trelawny, took their stations on the hustings, in front of the Guildhall. Mr. Carter having been nominated by Mr. Slieman, and seconded by Mr. Nicholls, some discussion arose as to whether Mr. Phillimore or Mr. Trelawny should be the ne:tt for nomination. The Portreeve decided in favour of the former gentleman, and he was proposed by Dr. Harnet, and seconded by Mr. John Gill. Mr. Rundle then proposed Mr. Trelawny, whose nomi nation was seconded by Mr. Flamank. At this pe riod Mr. Trelawny arrived, and having been asked if he intended to stand, replied that, although he did not offer himself, yet as his committee had brought him forward, he should feel it his duty to sit, if elected. Speeches were then delivered by the several candidates, and a show of hands having been called for, a large number were held up for Mr. Carter, and but few for either Mr. Trelawny or Mr. Phillimore. A poll was demanded for these gentlemen, which was appointed to take place yesterday (Wednesday). CLOSE OF THE POLL, For Mr. Carter „ Mr. Tre,lawny „ Mr. Phillimor' Mr. Carter was consequently declared duly elected. WORCESTER. ELECTION OF MR. LASLETT, A FItEE-TRADEIL - Yesterday the election of a Member to serve in the room of Mr. Francis Milford, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, under circumstances which need not be dwelt upon, took place at Worcester. When the writ was issued last week, two candidates were in the field, viz., Mr. W. Laslett, of Abberton Hall,.on Liberal and Re form principles, and Mr. M‘Garel, of London, as a sup• porter of the Derby Administration. Mr. M`Garcl, however, retired on Friday, finding that Mr. Laslett had already secured a majority of promises, and the field was consequently left open to Mr. Laslett, who was yes terday duly returned.

NATIONAL EXHIBITION at CORK The Committee met again on Tuesday, at their rooms, Stephen's-green, Dublin; George Roe, Esq., D.L,, in the chair. The meeting was numerously attended. From the reports lent before the Board everything was progressing most favourably; indeed, far more so than was anticipated by its most sanguine originators and supporters. Contributions continue to come in vary satisfactorily, and it is to be hoped that in this national undertaking none of its operations will be marred on account of any want of funds.

Of course it would be unpardonable to criticise closely a performance by non-profe*sional3, but we must say that if the Othello and lago were not what Shakspere in tended they should be, we have frequently seen worse tat*, personations of those characters by artists of greater preten:- ions. Indeed, the play was given in a very praiseworthy and spirited manner, and the applause of the audience was hearty and genuine 'throughout. All the amateurs played very creditably indeed, the ladies particularly distinguish ing themselves for the easy grace with which they filled their parts. THE DANISH SUCCESSION.--The first Conference of the Plenipotentiaries appointed to settle this important question, was held yesterday at the Foreign-office. It was attended by the Ministers of all the Powers who signed the! former protocol on the subject, with the addition of the Prussian Minister. The proceedings were of a purely preli minary nature, but it is understood that a second Conference will shortly 10 helcl, at which the question, will be fully en tered into, ceedi U N, LONDON,_ MARRIAGE OF EARL GROSVENOR AN D ' I LADY CONSTANCE LEVESOA GOWER. The relationship already so happily existing between the familiea of Sutherland :aid Grosvenor was yesterday still further cemented by the alliance of the eldest son of the Marquis of Westminster with the youngest daughter _of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. • The celebrity of the contracting parties had the effect of drawing together, at a very early hour, in the vicinity of _ Stafford-house, a large assemblage of highly re spectable persons. The Chapel Royal, attached to St. James's Palace, in which, by the gracious permission of her Majesty, the marriage rite was to be performed, was also a great point of attraction, and so frequent were the applications for admission within the sacred edifice, that had a tenth "only of those who made interest with the necessarily obdurate verger been allowed entrance, the chiipel would have been so thronged as to preclude the possibility of performing the ceremony. Fortunately a peremptory order had bsen issued, confining the privi lege of admission to those only connected with the family party, and thus all difficulty was avoided and due decorum preserved. The period appointed for the ceremony was 1 o'clock —a fact not generally known, in consequence of which the spectators assembled at a much earlier hoar. The morning was delightfully fine, and the crowd bore the delay with great good temper. The ladies, who cer tainly formed the majority, were good naturedly al lowed to approach close to the doors until the throng became ,so pressing . that it was necessary to clear a way for the carriages of the relatives to set down. The Marquis and Marchioness of Kildare were the first to arrive; and as the hall doors were thrown open, a glimpse of that magnificent interior—perhaps exceeding in fine effect and architectural beauty that of any pala tial residence in this country—was afforded to the eager gaze of the curious public without. There have been occasions when the gorgeous effects of this noble residence have been brought out with sur passing skill, as on the occasion of her Majesty's visit, and other grand fetes; but it may be questioned whether Stafford House was over seen to such advantage as on this morning. -In the grand hall, whose beauty need not be enlarged upon, a delightful effect was produced by the tasteful decoration of the plinths of the pillars supporting the roof with masses of verdant moss thickly starred with primroses. Marochett's exquisite bust of Lady Constance was surrounded by a delicate garland of the white flowers of the stephanotus. The reception-room was the banquetting-hall—an apartment of surpassing beauty, rendered even more so on- this occasion by the great taste with which it was decorated. In the centre, arising from a settee, sprang a gigantic group of lilies and other appropriate emblems. Opening from this room was the balcony overlooking Cleveland-square, in which a charming conservatory formed a delightful promenade. The picture-gallery, world-famous for the treasures it contains, was to-day, for the first time, devoted to the purposes of festive enjoyment. Along the whole gallery, to the extent, of more than a hundred feet, a table was spread out for the guests. In the centre, two circular seats of honour were arranged on either side, where the Duke and Duchess might each form the centre of a semi circle of distinguished guests. It would be impertinent in this place to obtrude a notice of the"pictures that adorn the walls of the gal leryt but even amidst so many other attractions, the eye could not but rest delighted on the noble Murillos— that grand Titian—the famous Vandyek—and the singularly fine Gherardo delle Notte, which, under the influence of a clear bright light, were seen to much advantage. The venerable Countess of Carlisle, attended by her son, the Earl- of Carlisle, and other immediate relatives of the family having arrived, the hour now approached for the commencement of the groat business of the day. The bride was soon seen descending the grand stair case, resting on the arm of her noble father, the Duchess of Sutherland by her side. The costume - of her Ladyship was marked by an ex ceedingly fine taste. She wore a white satin dress, covered with guipure flounces. The headdress was of drooping white roses, entwined with the orange flower and myrtle, surmounted with a splendid veil of guipure, falling to the feet. The bodice and sleeves were of the same lace, supported in front by a magnificent carbuncle, surrounded with brilliants, a present from her Majesty the Queen. A necklace of pearls, diamonds, and eme ralds completed her Ladyship's toilet. The great majority of the parties invited to be present assembled at the chapel, and the family guests having all token their departure for the same place, the fair bride now stepped forth to the carriage which was to convey her the short distance between Stafford House and the Chapel Royal. The scene outside the mansion was a curious one. From an early hour in the morning many of the hum bler friends of the noble family had taken up their sta tion near the porch to make sure of a last look of the beautiful Lady Constance. To these were soon added a largo reinforcement of sight-seers, attracted by the ge neral impression that the bridal procession would walk from Stafford House to the Chapel Royal. The greatest good humour however prevailed. As the Duchess of Sutherland is an acknowledged public favourite, the amount of sympathy evinced was more than is usual on similar occasions. When, therefore, the young and lovely bride came out with her father, she was received with cheers of welcome, and loud good wishes for her happiness. The two charming fair-haired children of the Duchess, Lord Albert and Lord Ronald, who ac companied her Grace, attracted universal attention and praise. Never, indeed, was kind feeling and good heartedness more thoroughly evinced than on this oc casion. It has been already stated that the Chapel Royal was besieged with applicants for admission during the morning. A rumour now prevailed of the intention of her Majesty to pay the Duchess of Sutherland the high compliment of being present at the ceremony. This, of course, increased the desire for admission; but Mr. Lin gard's instructions were peremptory, and none save those provided with invitations found entrance. perhaps, too well kn T ow le n e interior torego of h require the Chapel description. It is, t al is of small dimen sions, and chiefly remarkable for a fine painted ceiling, attributed to Holbein. Across one end, and facing the altar, is the royal closet or gallery. A very splendid service of massive gold communion plate adorned the commur ion table. Tho company began to arrive at the chapel at half pest twelve o'clock. Among the earliest were the Earl of Carlisle and Lady Mary Howard, the Duchess of Ar gyll, the Marchioness of Stafford, Lady Blantyre, and the Marchioness of Kildare. The Duchess of Ar gy ll a w n o d r e a apadirlleessde fit o t a ra cz y sie sil b il o , bonnet; the elegant eg ant point lace shawl, Marchioness of Staf ford was attired in a dress of blue moire antique, with flowers of guipure, a white silk mantle, elegantly trim rued with fringe, and a bonnet of blonde, trimmed with pearls and blue flowers; the Marchioness of Kildare wore a dress of embroidered muslin, a Brussels lace shawl, and a bonnet of tulle, spotted with jessamine; Lady J3lantyre's costume consisted of a dress of white moire antique, trimmed with blue velvet and silver, a shawl of Brussels lace, and a bonnet of the same lace, with blue flowers, feathers, and silver . Her Lad y shi p was accompanied by the Hon. Miss Stuart, her youthful daughter, who was gracefully attired in a white costume, with an elegant hat trimmed with silver. The three Misses Lascelles, cousins of the bride, now entered the chapel. One of these ladies, the Hon. Mary Lascell es , h a d b een s elected as a bridesma id. The others were the L a dies Octavia, Agnes, Jane , and Theo dora Grosvenor, sisters of the bridegroom; Lady Ade liza Fitzalan Howard, daughtet of the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk; Lady Louisa Cavendish, daughter of the Earl of Burlington; and Lady Blanche E g erton, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, all of them cousins of the bride. The costumes worn by these young ladies were very elegant, consisting of white glace silk, with mantles to correspond. The bonnets were re marked to be particularly novel—being composed of white lace, embroidered with green and white grass. .The Lady Adeliza Fitzalan Howard's mantle was espe cially beautiful. The bouquets worn by the bride and her attendant train were of exquisite beauty. They consisted of a charming admixture of the queen of the orchids (plue lenopsas anzabilc), orange flowers, lilies of the valley, and the stophanottis. The next arrivals were the Marchioness of Westmin ster, the Duchess of Norfolk, and Lady Foley, all of %ham wore costumes remarkable for their grace and eleeance. The noble bridegroom now made his appearance, attended by Viscount Anson as his " best friend:' He looked the " happy man" as he walked up the chapel, and cordially shook hands with almost every person in it. The Marquis of Westminster, the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl and Countess of Desert, Lord Foley, Viscount and Viscountess l3rackley, the Countess of Ellesmere, Lord and Lady Leigh, and many other members of the two families now entered in quick succession. Precisely at one o'clock, the carriage containing the bride drove into the court-yard. Her Ladyship was received by the Duchess at the entrance of the chapel, and, resting on the arm of her father, entered the sacred edifice. She looked exquisitely beautiful, and as she walked up the chapel with a dignified yet modest self-possession, received the hearty congratulations of her friends and relatives. The Duchess of Sutherland was most becomingly dressed, and, without exaggeration, looked almost as peautiful as her daughter. She wore a white gros de Nap& dress, with flounces of guipure, a white silk man 'Co, having a handsome trimming of guipure touching the skirt, and a bonnet of guipure, trimmed with mara bout' feathers. , The Bishop of London, with the Rev. Dr. Wesley, in ten d th s th o e f n t e h x e t attendance, having taken his place at the altar, the bridal party now formed around. At this moment a buzz an of attention was directed towards the royal closet, illustrious The e, r assembledinstan t, to party, e n g d r e t a o t tho surprise nig h of g rnine tifi- Itentered frotn theant t e r u o s o l m 3'ey o a t i• ti gl e l o a f l i l (aen te an Q i u l e . en p , a with ya her royal mother, the H o i l g e hn r e a s t s a i n ' e r , in vw ce h e i k eh lbe th rt e , peered to party had reached by the garden entrance. saeneveony was performed by the Bishop of Lon the servi , ..T.

The Duke of Northumberland was unavoidably absent, I and the Duke of Devonshire was prevented by indispo sition from attending. The de joiner was served at two o'clock. The prepara tions had been such as can on l y take place in princely establishments like that of t h e Duke of Sut h er l a nd. In the centre of the table was pl aced a magn ificent goteau de note, of very beautiful d es i gn — t h e ca k e being sup ported by figures of the nin e M uses, and forming th e base of a trophy temple, f rom wh i ch s prung a tripod filled with rare exotics. Am ong the exqu i s i te w orks of foreign art which adorned the table, one from a British hand was conspicuous for its chasteness, elegance, and purity of taste—a dessert service, in Parian and porce lain, a combination entirely now—presented to the young bride, in token of his very grateful respect to her Ladyship's family, by Mr. Minton. The centre piece of this magnificent service was three feet in height. It consisted of a perforated bask e t w i t h green f e stoons pendant, supported by three exqu i s i te l y m odelled figures, representing Love, Peace, and Abundance. The pedestal bore three allegorical gilt trophies correspond ing with three illustrative subjects, in high relief on a Parian vase, upon which shields of her L a dy s hip's arms were beautifully emblazoned. Four baskets en suite, resting on figures representing Pomona, Ceres, and Flora, and a variety of fruit dishes of similar design, completed the service. Two Parian statuett es o f Lords Al b ert an d Ronald Laveson Gower, which were upon the table were greatly admired as wonderful works of art and life-like nesses. Fruits and flowers, in such abundance as Trent ham only could supply, graced the table. Strawberries of the finest flavour hung in trusses from the various dishes, and newly ripe cherries were plenteous as in the height of summer. At the table the Duke of Sutherland had the Mar chioness of Westminster on his right hand, and the Duchess of Norfolk upon his left. The Duchess of Sutherland was supported by the Marquis of Westmin ster and the Marquis of Lansdowne. During the deieuner, The Earl of CARLISLE, having been called upon, rose and said—Ladies and Gentlemen—l might almost say, uncles, aunts, and cousins—the command I have received leaves mo no option but obedience. To an audience which, though so large, is yet only a family party, it would be difficult, as it is unnecessary, to speak in the set phrases usually adopted on these occasions. But I may be allowed an appeal to our experience under this very roof, that marriages among near kinsfolk are not those least happy in their results. When we look at the bride and bridegroom on the present happy occa sion—the manly presence and the high-bred bearng, and the calm gentleness and beauty, which have this day been united in the holy bonds of matrimony, I think we may fairly consider them an indication of the spirit within ' and the mirror of their future destinies. Let us dri n k to the health of Lord and Lady Constance Grosvenor. The Noble Earl's remarks elicited loud approbation, and the toast was responded to with three times three hearty cheers. The bridal cake was now immediately handed round to tho guests, who soon after rose and retired to the drawing-rooms. At this period an opportunity was afforded to witness the very costly and magnificent presents made to the bride. Amongst these were her Majesty's gift of a diamond stomacher, and a splendid tiara of diamonds, contributed by the Marquis of West minster, together with a necklace having a fine opal and ruby and diamond pendant, from the Duke of Suther land; a very beautiful bottle, covered over with gold, from Lord Clifden; and a jewelled butterfly necklace of rubies and emeralds from the Duchess of Argyll. In these presents, however rich and costly the material, the artistic skill of their elaboration and execution seemed to vie with the generosity of the donors.

The meeting at Exeter-hall, for the preservation of the Crystal Palace on its present site, ought to have weight with a Legislature which professes to represent all orders and classes of the people. If there was not everybody there," there was at lest a very fair dele gation. Religion, morality, and benevolence bad their active representatives ie Shaftesbury and Harrowby ; economy and public spirit in Hume and Wakloy; from Scotland there was the accomplished Thane and the eloquent Presbyter; Lancashire sent a Heywood, and Sir Joseph Paxton might well have appeared as the prince of florists, but that his fame in that department has been eclipsed by his conception of the edifice, which was the subject of the meeting. There are not many causes that command so wide a concurrence, or so varied an advocacy. Oar public men have their antipathies as well as their sympaties, and it may ba many years be fore, as the almanacks express it, we shall see so many planets at once above the horizon. But the demoastation was as comprehensive in its results as in its speakers. We cannot call to mind a single objection to the pre servation of the building on its present site that was not fully met, from the frivolities and dishonesties of Lord Seymour's so-called " Report," to the frantic stuff we occasionally see in the papers from here and there a tradesman who ascribes his want of business to any cause but the true one. With the offer to take the building on a lease from the Crown, and to maintain it, under proper regulations, on the self-supporting prin ciple, there is an end to all the interesting forebodings about expense, public indifference, and failure. It is now placed beyond doubt that the real apprehension at the bottom of these prophecies is lest the building should prove too durable, the glass too proof against hailstorms, and the Paxton gutters too cheaply adapted for perma nence; lest the vast area should find too many uses, the building be made too attractive, and the frequenters become too many and too constant. That is the real bugbear which haunts on the one hand the aristocracy of the neighbourhood. and on the other a few tradesmen, who, not having the necessary gift of addressing them selves to the changes around them, think all the world is to stand still that they may do so themselves. Let it be plainly understooa—fo; there is now no other construction to be put on the efforts of the mal contents--that they are only too sure that the Exhibition, once permitted to stand, will become one of the institutions of the realm. The comprehen sive nature of the offer made to the Government leaves no other alternative; for the capitalists who have made it, besides undertaking the improvement, maintenance, custody, warming, and filling of the structure, are pre pared to settle the little questions of s. d. with the contractor over the way. It is difficult to say what more they can do to meet the West-end and " vested interest" objections, unless they shall also undertake to convey to and fro, in tunnels or in balloons, that plebeian but numerous portion of the visitors who do not possess car riages of their own. We had almost emitted—for in deed it is scarcely worth notice—the story about the solemn undertaking that the building should be removed as soon as it had answered its purpose. Lord Carlisle's letter disposes of that. If the promise was made by any body, it was made by him; it was made with respect to a building which was never erected, and to a Legislature which need not enforce the promise a moment longer than it pleases. When the two parties to an engage ment are equally desirous to bring it to an end, there need no longer be any difficulty about it. It ought to be fully known and understood what is the precise question now before the public. It is not whether the building should remain on its present site or be altogether destroyed—be banished to the Champs Elyte2s, " disappear into space"—or be cut up into a hundred provincial mimicries. Jt is simply, as we are given to understand, whether the above-mentioned offer shall be accepted, and the building be permitted to stand on its present site, or whether, in consequence of another offer, it shall be removed and re-erected on another site near the metropolis, and not without its recommenda tions. It has been proposed to transfer the building to Wimbledon-park, which, till lately, was little known to the majority of Londoners, except by the large piece of green that stood for it in the maps of London and the neighbourhood; but which has, at last, fallen into the hands of speculators. The site, the soil, the turf, the woods, and the lake, will all bear comparison with those to which the building owes so much of its present attractions. The South-Western Railway Company are ready to lay down a new line of rails from the Waterloo station right up to the proposed site, and to carry the visitors for a penny there and a penny back; that is, receiving twopence oat of every shilling ticket issued at Waterloo station and presented at the Exhibition. Tile journey, therefore, would be less tedious, less costly, and less liable to an noyances than it proved to most visitors last year; and, with the carriage there and back included in the shilling charged for admission, the wonder of the ago would be once more brought home to our doors. There aro so many things in favour of this proposal that we could almost find it in our heart to give up Hyde-park once more to the exclusive use of dandies, dowagers and lap dogs. Let the aristocracy of the West-end be undis turbed in their enjoyment of our beautiful parks and national gardens. Let them continue to show their pre sent laudable jealousy of royal and popular encroach ments. It is possible that the people may henceforth secede to a park of their own. To the discovery of the Great Exhibition, and the discovery of the Crystal Palace, may now perhaps ba added the discovery of a system for the conveyance of a hundred thousand visi tors fivo miles into the country in the morning, a n d back again at night. It is only a question of materials and arrangement, and, if the demand is made, it w ill be met before long. _ _ Wo shall be told, perhaps, that this settles the ques tion. If there is no objection whatever to Wimbledon park, and plenty of objections to llyde-park, let the objectionable site be spared and the unobjectionabl e one be adopted. But the question is not so easily d; spored of. The Exhibition in Hydo•park will still be public property in some sort, being leased under proper regu lations, and with a certain right of control reserved to the Government. It will, in fact, bo in the same position precisely as the Zoological and Botanic Gardens in Re gent's-park. In Wimbledon-park the Exhibition will be as thoroughly a private undertaking as Cremorne gardens, or Rosherville-gardens, or tne Surrey Zoolo gical, or the tea-gardens at Anerley, on the Croydon line. Now, though we have reason to believe that the gentlemen who propose to plant the Crystal Palace in Wimbledon•park will endeavour to keep as much as possible up to the standard of the Great Ex hibition, and preserve the prestige which they carry with them, yet they will be under no express obligation to do so, and will be under no special responsibility. Having to attract and entertain myriads of vulgar excursionists every day, they will be obliged to pay more attention to the commissariat than the Royal Commission thought suitable to the occasion; they will not feel themselves bound to exclude intoxicating beverages; they may pos sibly allow cookery on the premises; and even go so far as to provide out.of-door sports, perhaps dancing, and theatrical representations. If the concern does not otherwise answer they will certainly do whatever speculators have been accustomed to do under similar circumstances; they will part with a good many scruples rather than be utterly ruined. But without asking what they will do, or what they will not do, there is ono point of difference between the two sites about which there can be no doubt. Like the Great Exhibition, Zoological Gardens, and the, Botanic Garden, the " Crystal Palace," if suffered to re main in Hyde-park, will be closed on Sunday. In Wim bledon-park its chief chance of support will be its Sun day visitors, and it will doubtless become a principal fea ture of the metropolitan Sabbath. To the speculators it will be a matter of necessity, and the Legislature will not, in consistency, have the right to interfere. Now, considering the national antipathy to the opening of our public exhibitions on Sunday, we submit this choice of difficulties to those who are hesitating between Hyde park and Wimbledon -park. The question extends, of course, to all private sites. Once out of the roach of the State, the Crystal Palace will inevitably becom e f a Sun day exhibition; so thewo wish to sa i roila ,i, ,tif . la profanation must take caret keep it at h ve omet ----------- WRITING ON NEWSPAPERS.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—AdmiraI Sir William Parker, Bart., dined with the Commander-in-Chief, Ad miral Sir Thomas Briggs, last evening, returning on board the Queen. This mornin g the Sprightly was placed at the disposal of :3ir Willi am Parker. He left the Q leen, attended by his Flag Lieutenanr, Augustus Phillimore, and his Se cretary, Charles Richards, Esq., soon after breakfast, for th e S pr i g h tly. On the G al l ant Admiral's leaving his ship, yards were manned. and the crew cheered er2- thusiaqically. The Superb, 10, Captain Purcell, paid the same compliment; while the Hercules and other ships manned their rig; in and cheered. Sir William landed' trona' the Sprightly at Sallyport at half-pa s t ten o ' clock, where the carriage of Admiral Sir T. Brigg% was in waiting to convey him to the Land port terminus, and the Admiral proceeded by train for London. We are glad to perceive the Admiral looks well and hearty; his twelve years of continued service have made no perceptible ch ange i n hi s appearance; he seems as active and energetic as ever he was. It is rather a singular matter to have two admirals' flags, blue at the main, flying at the same time at Portsmouth. Sir William Parker's will come down to-night at sunset. Sir William Parker left his family on board the Queen; but they left the vessel at two o'clock, going either to Southampton or Cowes in the Sprightly. The Bee was in attendance yesterday, and took Lady Stirling and family on board the Queen, and afterwards conveyed them to Cowes. The Portsmouth yacht, with the Rear-admiral super intendent on board, with the gentleman from the Pay office, proceeded to Spithead to pay the Rodney, which ship proceeded to Plymouth on Friday.

M'Laren, R.N., to join the Blen heim, &c. She has also on board an immense quantity of condemned Goldner's preEerved meats to return into store. The Queen, we are informed, has a defective rudder, and one of her beams sprung. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 28.—The East Indiaman Barham, Captain W. Vaile, was off the port yesterday and landed passengers from Madras—Lieutenant-Colonel Strange, Her Majesty's 25th Foot; and Lieutenant Cunningham and wife, 2d Madras Naive Infantry; and from Calcutta —Major Whish, 60th Bengal Native Infantry, and lady.

SHEERNESS, APRIL 28.—Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Horatio, 22, Captain the lion. S. T. Carnegie, has had the defective shaft of the feed-pump repaired, and a new one made to take with her on her trial cruise, so as to prevent the necessity of her returning to port, should the old one give way. She was to h av e s t arted nce of its blowing a gale on Saturday, but in consequence from the eastward she was prevented. She will not leave port for three or four days. The Diligence, navy transport, arrived on Tuesday morning in tow of the Adder, Mr. James Watt in charge, and proceeded westward. Her Majesty's mail-packet Vivid, Captain Smithett, passed by here on Tuesday en, route to Dover. The Goodwill, dockyard-lighter, Patrick master, sailed yesterday evening with stores for Devonport-yard, Tne Lumsden, of South Shields, W. Smith, master. from London for Newcastle, parted with all her anchors and cables in the Swin during the late gale, and drove across the Maplin-sand close to the sea-wall, between Foulness-poies and Fisherman's-head. EmuTum.—ln our report of Monday of the casual ties caused by the heavy gale of Friday, it was made to appear that the Pythagoras, of Whitby, and five other vessels which had suffered therefrom, put into Chat ham, whereas they came into Sheerness from distress of weather. Woonwtort, APRIL 28.—The Comte d'Aquila, wear ing the unform of a Vice-Admiral of the Neapolitan fleet, attended by his Aide.de• Camp, and accompanied by the Ambassador at the Court of St. James's from the Court of the King of the Two Sicilies, arrived at Graves end at eleven o'c:ock A.M. to-day, having left London by the ten o'clock down train of the North Kent Railway, and immediately after his arrival embarked on board the Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Henry W. Allen, that vessel having left Woolwich at halt-past eight o'clock to be in waiting at Gravesend, with Lieu tenant George E. K. Gore, Flag-Lieutenant to Commo dore Henry Eden, in charge of the barge of the Fisgard, to attend on the Comte d'Aquila during his visit to Sheerness Dockyard. When the Lightning, with the Compte d'Aquila on board, arrived at Sheerness, she , was received by a Royal salute from the Waterloo , Cap ' tain Hon. Montagu Stopford, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Jocelyn Percy, C. 13., Commander-in-Chief at the Nore; from the London. 90, Captain G. R. Mundy; the Mo narch, 84, Captain Charles Hope; and the Horatio, 24, screw steam-frigate, Captain Honourable S. T. Car negie. The barge of the Waterloo rowed to the Light ning, and Captain Honourable Montagu Stopford, with Flag-Liutenant Honourable 0. W. M. Lambert, went on board awl welcomed the Comte d'Aquila to Sheerness. The Comte left the Lightning in the barge of the Fisgard, steered by Flag .Lieutenant Gore, and on landing at Sheerness Dockyard was received by Vice- Admiral Jocelyn Percy, C.B , Commander - in - C hief ; Captain Charles Hope, Superintendent of Shee rness Dockyard, with the heads of the various departments, and a guard of honour of the Royal Artillery, under Captain Wodehoui.e. A field battery, tinder Lieutenant Hope, Royal Artillery, fired a royal salute to announce the landing of the Comte at that naval port. The Comte d'Aquila, was then conducted over the dockyard by Captain Superintendent Charles Hope, accompanied by the head officers of the departments.

RETENTION OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE. —'Yesterday two additional meetings were held for the purpose of testing the opinions and feelings of the inhabitants of the metro polis, with reference to retaining the Crystal Palace as a place of public resort for the improvement, the recreation, and amusement of the people. One, which was held at Southwark Town -hall. was a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Southwark, who were convened by the High Bailiff of the Borough, Mr. Pritchard, in compliance with a requisition which had been presented to him. Various reso lutions were passed, expressing the deep interest that was felt by the meeting in the movement for preserving this edi fice, and it was unanimously agreed that petitions to a bo_ ff Houses of Parli amen t s h ou ld be signed by the High B ted. on behalf of the m ee ting, and be immediately prlesoernough The other was a meeting of the inhabitants o f the a The of Lambeth, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington.

THE FIELDS FOR TO-MORRO VV'S RACES AT NEWMARKET, See, SlR,—Yesterday's sport on the heath, if sport it can be called, has not been surpassed for its unattractiveness on any previous occasion, therefore I shall not refer to it in any one particular. There was, however, some very extensive betting on the forthcoming event at Chester, and on the Derby. For the former Grosvenor was sup ported in a very stiff manner, not more than 12 to 1 being obtainable at the clo se . S evera l other horses were backed to win large amounts at excessively long odds; amongst them, Due an Dhurras, who, in conjunction with Redmond O'Hanlon, will give the owner of Cnrraghmore a very fair chance of carrying off the '° coop". For the Derby, the great Hobbie Noble, who, I um very couch afraid, cannot be received in any other way than as the " light of ether days," foil rapidly away from his high estate; from 11 to 4 , teken oa Monday, he has gradually receded to 8 to 1, laid to several hundred pounds; and it is said that ere long he will disappear, a la Grecian, entirely from the betting. This latter case is not confirmed by any infor mation of any own, but is merely the child of rumour. Claverhouse was supported for one or two hundred pounds at 12 and 13 to 1, and closed very firm in the market. This horse is doing good strong work, and stands a chance of being better prepared for the Derby than any other. He is somewhat slow, but in other re spects is admirably suited to the course. The Chief Baron Nicholson (cot ho of the Coal-hole, but the re cowned great gua that is to be of the South), is gradu ally "coming;" thousands to thirty have been nibbled at a long time—twenty-fives were taken yesterday. The list fur to-morrow consists of three skeleton stakes, a couple of matches, and the Newmarket Stakes. Of course all the interest will centre in the latter. The Newmarket Stakes, D.M.—Lord Exeter's Stock well, and perhaps Ilex; Duke of Richmond's Home brewed, Mr. Batson's Ben Nevis. The running of Maid stone, Glenluce, and Peacock is dubious. The infavourLord couple Clifden;to my fhaf thinking,arp Harpsichord de cidedordwill be a t th e Mi ss Whip colt, and Altitude the Si ster to o Caracara. The Newmarket Stakes will, I presume, afford another trial for Homebrewed against his conqueror of Tuesday; the result, I imagine, will be as before, though several of the talent are inclined to give the preference to Homebrewed on this occasion. It is very fUnny, but some persons connected with the Horeseheath stable imagine that 12 to 1 is worth taking about Ben Nevis, as they consider he stands an outside chance of bowling the cracks over for Mr. Batson, a la Khadidja, in the Column Stakes. The betting market, notwithstanding the general flat ness of the sport, is lively at the following quotations : G lo u o i n S e a o s v , s D S . m t a . k_e s 3, topl.Mag— st 3 Ka to te, l o 7 n ta A 2 lc a o g ran sf .

At a meeting of the Jockey Club, after the races, resolutions were passed, which will have the effect of very considerably reducing the fees for stake-holding, and recommending the adoption of the Newmarket scale of charges, as altered, at other meetings. General Anson was elected steward in the room of Captain Lowther, who has resigned. The consideration of the proposal for new trial-ground was referred to a committee. WEDNESDAY'S RACES.
