The Blanche is intended to be an improved screw sloop, of the Amazon class, and is one of four other wooden unarmoured vessels of the same class built from the designs of Mr. E. J. Reed. ller principal dimen sions are—Between the perpendiculars, 187 ft ; length of keel for tonnage, 158 ft 3in ; extreme breadth, 36ft ; breadth of tonnage, 35ft 10in ; breadth moulded, 35ft 2in ; depth in hold, 19ft. 4in, and burden 1,081 tons; her mean launching draught is to be Oft ln. The iron-cased ship Research, 4, 1,523 tons, 200 horse power, Commander R. A. E. Scott, is No. 4 dock at Chatham, where she is having some rather extensive alterations carried out, the chief of which is the continuation of her midship battery deck fore and aft, by which additional comfort and accommo dation will be provided for the officurs and crew. Her sides will be indented, as in the, case of the Pallas, to allow her battery guns to be fired ahead and astern. The screw steam storeship Fox, 2, Staff Com mander; Moriarty, from Woolwich and Sheerness, arrived at Plymouth, on Saturday, having in tow a mortar vessel which is to be fitted as a swimming bath for the boys belonging to the Impregnable. The screw steam sloop Icarus, 3, left Plymouth on Friday, for China, taking supernumeraries. The paddlewheel steam frigate Gladiator, 6, Capt. T. Aplin, from Spithead, arrived at Plymouth on Friday, and is appointed to leave to-day, with Commander Spain and a party of seamen, who will navigate the screw steam sloop Vestal, 4, to Devon port.

Among those who travelled in the royal train, we believe, were the Prince of Ilohenloe, the Duke of Sutherland, and the Duke of St. Albans. With respect to the volunteers, the first train, conveying the 3d Middlesex Artillery, the 2d and 3d London Rifles, and the 26th, 28th, 37th, and 39th Middle sex Rifles, left London-bridge at half-past 5 o'clock. Three other trains, carrying in all something over 10,000 men, followed from the London -bridge station at intervals of about half an hour. From the Victoria station three trains left with above 5,000 men, making a total of between 15,000 and 16,000 men from the metropolitan corps. These were the first in Brighton, they are due about seven o'clock. All these corps left the station by the Montpellier-road, and marched by the London-road and Rose-hill-terrace to their different rendezvous on the Level, St. Peter's Green, the North Steyne Enclosures, the Pavilion Grounds, and the Old Steyne Enclosures. Such as arrived early were allowed to break off and get refreshment, arrange ments for this purpose having been made by several of the corps at the Town-hall and other places. The country corps, from the east and west, arrived generally speaking, later than the London corps. BRIGHTON, Sunday Evening The Volunteer Review which is now an esta blished periodical event of Easter Monday, and the Brightonians have set about celebrating the event with a zeal and enthusiasm that exceed anything displayed by them on former occasions. But this is only what might have been expected after the moment it became known to them that the Prince and Princess of Wales would be present at the Brighton Downs to mani fest the interest in one of the most im portant national movements of our times. The weather-glass is watched with painful anxiety. Friday was a fine day here, but after midnight there was rain for some hours. Yester day there was no rain to speak of till about three o'clock, but then it began to descend in heavy and determined-looking showers, and continued to do so till seven or eight o'clock. This has been a fine, sunny day, with the exception of about half an hour in the afternoon, during which there was a heavy shower. The decorations in honour of the Prince of Wales commence at the railway station, whore along the arrival platform four rows of benches, extending to a length of about 140 feet, are erected. These will all b• covered in scarlet cloth. The metal pillars which support the shed along this portion of the platform will be hand somely festooned in draperies of various colours, and decorated arches are to spring from pillar to pillar so as to give the seats the appearance of a series of boxes in a theatre. Admission to those seats will be by tickets issued from the company's office. The ladies' first-class waiting room is being fitted up as a reception room for the Prince and Princess of Wales, and in it refreshments will be provided for their Royal llighnesses and the Princes and Princesses who are to accompany them. In another apartment refreshments will be served to the Ladies and gentlemen in attendance on the Royal party. It is expected that the Prince and Princess of Wales, with the Duke of Cambridge, the Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Prince of Ilohenlohe, the Prince of 'reek, the Duke of Sutherland, and the Duke of St. Albans, will leave the Victoria Station of the London and Brighton Railway shortly before 10 o'clock to-mor row morning, and arrive here at about 11.

The supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to day was very limited, and in but middling condition. Rather a large number of beasts from France have been stopped by the Customs' authorities this morning. The arrivals from Norfolk were 84 Scots and crosses ; from Aberden 111; from Dundee 31 ; and Berwickshire 208 Scots and crosses. The supply from Ireland amounted to 200 oxen and heifers. As the dead markets are heavily supplied with meat, the demand for beasts was far from active, and prices were a shade lower than on this day se'nnight. The general top figure for Scots was 5s per 81b. There was a moderate show of both English and foreign sheep, in full average condition. A demand having sprung up in Birmingham, Peterborough, and other towns and cities in the midland districts, the mutton trade was very active, on higher terms. The beet Downs and half-brads, in the wool, realised Gs 8d to is ; out of the wool, 5s 4d per 81b. Lambs—the supply of which was scarce —sold freely at from 8s to 9s per 81b.

On Saturday her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal llighnesses Princesses Helena and Louise and Prince Arthur, attended by Major-General Sey mour and Lady \Vaterpark, &c., inspected the new wing lately built and the improvements now in pro gress at the cavalry barracks, Spital, near Windsor. The Royal party occupied open carriages, and, pre ceded by outriders, left the Castle shortly after 11 o'clock, arriving at the barracks at a quarter past the hour. The Ist Regiment of Life Guards in full uniform, with band, under command of Colonel the Hon. D. de Ros—the other officers present being Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Mountcharles, Cap tain the Hon. R. W. Grosvenor, Captain the Earl of Tyrone, Captain the lion. Cecil Duncombe, Cap tain Bateson, Lieut. Limbert, Quartermaster Han ley, &c., paraded in front of the green facing the officers' quarters, and received her Majesty with a royal salute, the band playing, and the regiment presenting arms as the Queen entered the barracks. Her Majesty drove slowly by the regiment, which was drawn up in line, the four squadrons (dismounted) on parade including about 280 of all ranks, the actual strength of the regiment being, it is under stood, over 400 men. The Queen having inspected the ranks alighted from the Royal equipage, and with the Prince and Princess proceeded to the north wing of the barracks, which, at her Majesty's sug gestion, has been greatly altered, in order to give better accommodation to the troopers. Colonel de Ros and Quarter-Master llanley had the honour of conducting the Queen and the Royal party round the barracks. The new floors have been erected over the stables in the north wing, each of these containing six large apartments, severally capable of accommodating 14 troopers, while at each end of the flat there are two smaller rooms for non commissioned officers. The whole of the rooms are well arranged and ventilated, having been erected by Messrs. Myers, the contractors, from the War office plans. Communication between the floors is obtained by light iron balconies, protected by veran dahs projecting from the front of the building. Her Majesty ascended to the first floor, and visited one or two of the apartments, including Corporal- Major Partington's, and expressed great satisfac tion at the increased comforts provided by the new arrangements. The Queen next visited the library, children's school, and hospital in the south wing. From the latter the Royal party walked to the plot of ground lying between the Spital-road and the Infantry Hospital, where an extensive group of buildings is being erected as an addition to the pre sent barracks. The buildings in question form part of the plan which was projected in consequence of the inspection of the cavalry barracks by the Queen, and the suggestions for improvement then thrown out by her Majesty. The principal feature in the rear group is the married soldiers' quarters—an exten sive structure 258 ft. by 18ft. Bin., the height to the caves being 24ft. It is divided into an upper and lower story, with verandahs and staircases, and when finished will provide accommodation for 34 married troopers with their families. To the north-west of this is the recreation room, 67ft. 9in. by 36ft., and 47ft. high. This will contain a fine room for recre ation 50ft. by 261 t., a coffee bar, reading and writ ing rooms, library, and other apartments. Near the married soldiers' quarters is an infant school, calculated to provide accommodation for 50 infants, while almost in a line are the wa.shhouse and laundry, which will be fitted with coppers, drying closets, ironing tables, &c., and the bath-house. Staff-ser geants' quarters, school and fencing-room, are, it is believed, in contemplation. The plans were prepared at the War-office, and their carrying out is under the supervision of a military foreman from the corps of Royal Engineers. The contractor for the new buildings, which are making great progress, is Mr. Sawyer, of Dulwich. The works are to be completed in July, and the building will, it is expected, be handed over to the military authorities by Septem ber. In a short time the works for the remodel ling of the south wing of the existing barracks are to be commenced, and while these are being executed a number of the troopers of the Royal horse Guards, who relieve the Ist Life Guards at Windsor this week, will be lodged in the Riding School at Windsor Castle. The Queen displayed great inte rest in the married soldiers' quarters, and conversed for some time with the officers in attendance upon the subject. tier Majesty having finished the ex amination of the new buildings returned to the parade and entered her carriage, the regiment (which had remained drawn up in the meantime) changing front and facing the Royal equipage. A troop of non-commissioned officers and men then went through the " post " practice, under Riding master Cox, at a gallop, the exercise including the various cavalry sabre cuts and thrusts. Her Ma- , jesty and the Royal family, who appeared greatly amused at the dexterity displayed by the horsemen, returned to the Castle at noon. REVERE :NCB SHAKES real Eastern. E.

Mr. Thomas Moore, the poet, although one of the people, was a croaker respecting the old Reform Bill, which he feared would produce revo lution ! But 35 years' experience has shown that his editor, Earl Russell, was correct when he made the following sensible remarks respecting his friend's unfounded panic about Reform. Earl Ru ssell said " A reformed Parliament is a far stronger barrier against wild innovation than the Parliaments chosen on the old models could have been. Lord Melbourne, in his speech in the House of Lords, txuly said, " that the consent of the people formed the strength of the Parliament, and that when that consent was wanting, it was time to change the form of the governing body. On such principles those of Lord Grey's Cabinet who had been against Reform acted in unison with those who had been long its advocates, Lord Grey and his colleagues, in thus combining to bring in the Reform Bill, acted with true patriotism and foresight. They knew the institutions which they amended, the people with whom and for whom they acted, the principles of sound policy and the course required by honesty and wisdom." Moore feared the temporary satisfaction of the measure was " the torrent's smoothness ere it dash below :" but his noble editor pointed "to the ad vantages of real repreSentation, the abolition of slavery, the commutation of tithes, the reduction of prohibitory duties, the repeal of the corn laws, the equalisation of the sugar duties, the repeal of the navigation laws, the promotion of education, and other measures, which during twenty years had ' been enacted by .the Reformed Parliament." To which list may now be added, the repeal of the taxes on knowledge; the famous French treaty, abolition of window-tax, the partial diminution in the Fire lusur ante Duties, with other minor legal improvements prior to the dissolution of the recent Parliament. At the present time these remarks arc worthy of notice.--I am, Sir, yours obediently, CHARLES COOKE.

A GEOGRAPIIIC PUZZLE. —In Victor ringo's new work, "Les Travailleurs de la Mer," he translates the Firth of Forth as "La Framitle de la Quatrierat." CHARLES DICKENS AND BUCKSTONE. 1 The Sunday Times thus graphically descants on three speeches at the Theatrical Fund Dinner : Charles Dickens spoke well, as he always does, though almost too shortly. An after-dinner speech cannot indeed well be too short, but such speakers as Dickens cannot often be encountered ; and those who aro fortun a t e enoug h to b e present on an oc casion like the present are inclined to regard as grudging and parsimonious the brevity which, in fact, is dictated by good sense, good taste, and knowledge of the world. In these days, when pho tographic portraits are multiplied by thousands, and permeate all our cities, towns, and villages, there are few who can be strangers to the personal ap pearance of Mr. Dickens. His appearance, how ever, undoubtedly adds weight to his oratory ; and when the well-graced and singularly felicitous sen tences he always combines arc delivered with the full charm of voice and manner he possesses, the result, of course, is wonderfully pleasing and im pressive. There was little in his speech he delivered ' on Wednesday evening to distinguish it from any similar speeches lie has before delivered. Its only defect was, as we have hinted, in very fact, a grace, and the regret men experienced when the voice left off ringing in their cars was, in fact, a tribute to the art of the speaker. About Mr. Buckstone's success nothing surely need be said. Everything that Buck stone does is Buckstonian—that is to say, irresistibly comic—and the power of voice and manner over an audience was never more convincingly shown than on the present occasion, when the utterance of the simple words "My Lord Mayor" convulsed half his audience with laughter. His speech was, how ever, very clever, and the tone of humorous though respectful persiflage with which he treated the Lord Mayor tickled vastly his audience. There was, in fact, a species of duel between Mr. Buckstone and the Lord Mayor, in which, though no hurt was re ceived on either side, one or two very vigorous lunges were forcibly given and dexterously avoided. The story about the borrowed armour tickled the audience immensely, and the twinkle of the speaker showed that he himself relished the joke not a whit the worse for being a trifle mischievous. His re ference to the possibility of his having been an al derman was told also well, and the retort of the Lord Mayor that Mr. Buckstone was better in his place as a brilliant actor than as a second-rate alder man, was fair and successful, though, perhaps, not altogether well founded. WARREN'S BLACKING.—When the groat black ing -maker of London despatched his agent to Egypt to write on the pyramids of Ghiza, in huge letters, " Buy Warren's Blacking, 30, Strand, London," ho was not " cheating" travellers on the Nile. llis blacking was really a superior article, and well worth the price charged for it; but ho was " humbugging" the public by this queer way of arresting attention. It turned out just as ho had antici pated that English travellers in that part of Egyptowtehreo indignant at this desecration, and they wrote back to Loudon Times (every Englishman writes or tb o r u e ounc.o _ write to the Tinte.l" if anything goes wrong) o , n d t pyran :. the "Guth" who had thus disfigured thesea "Buy Walas - by writing on then' in monstrous lett ers,d o g‘tlli e riln;sn ' iliedu ß ,liel l dtaateCner k dre i srl:,h,dgf:rin , ie 3 n O tlb , ,st,ao S biern t iike r ae a hflad n tc d etht , hd: L seitttitioa o lv,:br n an,c,nilaicil d aaoeipsitka o icseilug)tinikb u nrniutyi . illgin ' linnivnvaes_tgyilemedeic:dvooil l ,ilig E ilti b ikaiirulhlf e nelatiazrilraida 7 ell ot 3B tcdmobt:i i efa i t i rn:brs t alcaili:ekame;ui copied ancient innaanci, manner , eean : tudnole e veh 3 btr r lYB;e o e Psls : ltil6‘ t jtht l i ; ig' rae n 1 -ehn.realtC i Iponaol:lrtnyugiSbB' codlum n s Sao" provincial journals, this T h eca every advice : newspaperT r y IlWarren's Great h Strand, London." Tho curiosity of the public was thus aroused, and they did " try" it ; and, find ing it a superior article, they continued to purchase it, and recommended it to their friends, and 'Warren made a fortune by it. Ile always attributed his success to his having "humbugged" the public by his unique method of advertising his blacking in Egypt ! But Warren did not cheat his customers, nor " practise an imposition under fair pretences." Ile was a humbug, but ho was an honest, up right man, and no one called him an impostor or a cheat. The Eumbuys of the World. By P. T. Barnum. The Price of Gold. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about leBg per cent. At these rates these no profit on the importailon of go d fr,,m the United States. rile , Luotation 01 gold at Paris is about per milk pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per 41 sterling. On Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appe...fs that gold is nearly 3- wths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By adviccs from Hamburg the price of gold Is 424 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 ettrlin . Standard gold at the Eng11:11 Mint price is, therefore, at about the same price in London and Hamburg. MAZZINI AND THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.—The Naples correspondent of the Paris Temps says that Maz zini will probably be proposed at Nicastro, where an elec tion is to take place on the Bth, and where he has already had from 75 to 80 votes. Messina, it is thought, will re turn him again. THE ANNUITIES TOPRINCESS HELENA AND PRINCE ALFRED. —The two acts of Parliament have been issued granting annuities to Princess Helena of £6,000 on her marriage with Prince Christian, and .£15,000 to Prince Alfred, " subject to such directions as her Majesty may direct." Both annuities are to be "free of all taxes, as sessments, and charges." The annuity of Prince Alfred is to date from the 6th August last, when his Royal High ness came of age. THE GIGANTIC BlRD.—Professor Owen writes : " Paragraphs like that on the Gigantic Bird' usually include elements which the naturalist sees to be fatal to the interpretation attached to the facts ; yet these may be well deserving attention and inquiry. New Zealand was undoubtedly the land of huge birds, but, like their few existing conponers in other parts of the world, the head was small; that of a Dinornis, thrice the balk of the largest living ostrich, does not exceed 8 inches in length. The notice of the remains found in the province of Nelsen assures me that they are those of a saurian reptile, and indicate the jurassic age of the beds of limestone in which they have been petrified. Parts of a Plesiosaurus were discovered in that province by Mr. J. H. Hood, of Cluny House, Dunkeld, in 1861 ; but the present are of another kind. Should this letter appear and meet the eyes of any colonist able to grant the request, I would only ask for a single vertebra (joint of back or tail) and one of the supposed feathers of the gigantic bird,' and promise to return the na me o f t h e animal. As my table this morn ing gives unmistakable evidence of a coming avalanche of ~ i n quiries as to th e meaning of the paragraph from the colonial newspaper" to which you have added your cir culation, " friends will please to accept" the above as an answer." 8 9 140 113 3 &p 100 102 51 63 IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK.

The pick• of the horses engaged are Mount Palatine, Mazeppa, Monarch of the Glen, Westwick, Claros, Ischia, The Primate, The Student, The Peer, King Hal, Geojerat, Magician, Custaloga, Ammunition, La Dauphine, Lochiel, Staghound, Dalesman, Tomahawk, Warwick, and Gladiator. Neither The Student nor Tho Poor is likely to run, but as Monarch of the Glen, Mount Palatine, Westwick, Staghound, Dalesman, Gladiator, The Primate, and Ischia will probably join issue, the contest is sure to be exciting, and though Monarch of the Glen and Mount Palatine are said to be vastly improved horses, The Primate and Dalesman carry my confidence. In the half mile Beacon Stakes nine two-year-olds have been engaged, the entry including Mr. Chaplin's Derby colt Hermit, Achievement, Photographe, and Hornet. If Hermit is brought out he will win, but in his absence Photograph° may just beat Achievement, who, how ever, is reported to be a splendid filly. On Wednesday the Derby Trial Stakes and the Column Stakes are the only closed races of note. In mile and half Derby Trial Stakes King Charming, Proserpine, Gontran, Archimedes, Christ mas Carol, The Grinder, and other horses have been nomi nated against Gladiateur, but as the French horse is well he will have no difficulty in winning. To the mile Column Stakes there are 16 subscriptions, and as Young Monarque is reported unfit, Crown Prince or Beelzebub should be the winner of the stakes. On Thursday, the Seventh Biennial Stakes, the Claret Stakes, and the Abingdon Stakes are the principal items in the card ; 79 horses are entered for the Seventh Biennial Stakes, the list including Pantaloon, The Duke, King Charming, Ostregar, Tennyson, Anti- Macassar, Chimney Sweep, Audax, Nukuheva, Friday, Sydmonton, Kangaroo, Archimides, Al, and Jezebel. The Duke, though the distance is further than ho likes, will probably bo the favourite, but it is on the cards for him to be defeated by SYDNOSTON or FRIDAY, both of whom can %v epst a T.M.M.e s stay the severe ditch in course.

A FRESH MAN. Murder in Paddington. Daniel Elmore, Bridge-terrace, Harrow-road, was taken into custody last night for the murder of his wife. At ten o'clock last night the prisoner met his wife with another man outside a public-house, when angry words passed be tween thew, NI Lich resulted in Elinore knocking his wife down, kicking her in the stomach, and then running away. A police constable picked the poor woman up, had her con veyed to the police-station, and the surgeon called in, who stated that the woman must have mot an almost instanta neous death.
