Late advises from Ecuador state that the Govern ment was preparing to repel the attack of General Flores, and had addressA a circular to the diplomatic representatives there, advising them of its intention to treat all persons who may be concerned in the invasion as pirates. Private letters state that the force under Flores bad not landed, but was hovering around the coast. The accounts also mention that the expedition would probably succeed, unless the Swedish frigate sta tioned at Guayaquil aids the Ecuadorean Government. The force at that point was too weak to cope with that of Flores; and judging from the unsuccessful effort to hit the English steamer Lime, he was safe from the can non balls of the Government forts. Advices from Havannah to the 14th ult. elate that business has been at a complete standstill since the Bth ult., in consequence of the solemnities of the last three days of Lent, and the Royal fetes which were to termi nate on the 14th.

A chair of ophthalmic medicine and surgery had accordingly been 'recently established bo the council in this institution, whose ',ride it has always been to t ke a lead in the improvement of medic:l education in Eogland, and where special pro fessorships of comparative anatomy, pathological ameorny, and clinical surgery had their origin.

They took him on a stretcher to the station-house, where it was found that life was extinct. The body is that of a man about forty, stout, dark hair and whiskers, clad in a superior manner in drab over coat, silk waistcoat with brown spot, dark brown trou sers, and black necktie. From peculiar appearances on the body, and the evident proofs that the person had been plun dered, it is strongly suspected the untor.unate man was in veigled by some low women into one of the dens abounding in the vicinity, and, having been hocussed and plundered, was then dragged in a state of insensibility, and left to die where the police found him, in a narrow unfrequented court. without any thoroughfare.

This embarrassment is, however, as. much to y be attributed to the absurd system of enlistment pecu liar to the Bengal Presidency as to the want of proper eultiterlike feeling in the men themselves. The armies of -the Madras and , Bombay presidencies are- enlisted like the Queen's army for — ' general service,' but only six of the i ! 'egiwenta of -the Bengal army are enlisted on these .terms; the remainder, like our militia, are not liable to 'be - Ordered beyohd sea, and whenever the State requires them to embark on foreign service teey . are asked', to volunteer. Four Bengal Native Infantry regiments tvero required fonservice in Burmab.

It was paraded and *invited' to embark for service in Burmab. The men_ flatly refused to do ao. It was then ordered .to proceed by land,. and after much en treaty, 'from its officers was marched off by Chittagong. Of course, the regiment could . not. arrive by land in . tieSeatCa be •of any use •in the campaign, but it was expected that the • Sepoys - would mutiny on the march, on, wlaiph they. would he immediately disbanded. In the meanwhile' no other Banal regiments have been asked to volunteer, and - an additional regiment, the sth, has been ordered'from Madras. Itis said that all future re cruits'fot the Bengal cutesy are to be enlisted for 'general servicy;'; but, its addition to this, it should be enacted that not mare than one-third of the. Sepoys of any regi ment should be '.high caste' men, and that the nous eensm issiorted officers should be appointed (as in the Bombay army), by merit* instead 'of by. 'auk,' or .se tdority. The caste exclusiveness of the Bengal Sepoys renders them ,often difficult of management and prone to eonabihatioe againet military authority and discipline, and the appointmentof the non-commissioned Officers by seniority : places decrepit old men, such as in the Bombay ago have been superannu a t e d, in those army i i9 w p o s u_ l id o r long w atcb, in all ether armies in th e w o r ld, the o ara ot smartest soldiers of a regiment are selected. The se niority system elSo excludes the principle of emulation, and renders the Sepoys careless of gaining their officers' approval. The only udvantsge of the system is a finan cial one. The pension list of the Bengal army is pro portionally much smaller' than 'that-of' Bombay. The Sepoys of the former presidency are induced to remain much longer with their 'regiments them they otherwise would- by the certainty of succeeding to a commission if ihea'only live long enough. 6 ' The tactics' of Sir Colin Campbell's last frontier expedition have, as was fully expected, rendered a second and More serious hill campaign necessary. What ought to have been done in the cold weather must now be (ffectvd. during the hottest and unhealthiest season of the year: 'Oh for one hour of Dundee 'is the present Cry' in India with reference to all military mat t-ere: Sir C.

On the 20th they are said to_ have been attacked by the enemy; the fighting is stated to have lasted three hours, when the bilk - nen were beaten off, -The loss is said to have been considerable on both aides, 100 killed and wounded—we have no further particuliirs.

" The fieanciaL difficulties of the country are bringing, everything to a dead l o ck. The Government is ouly sharing in the ruin- efever y rivate interest. N obod y is paid, the contin gen t i s close pon•stven months in ar rear, and not a rupee- is forthcoming.

Be may be as well kept on, however, as not. .It is . sestrcely worth while to change the actors just as the curtain is about to fall. In the provinces anarchy rules without a cheek. The Bo hillss are in posiession of all the roads, and the travellers and vil'agers are plundered without mercy. Of late They have token to•nirder-the Company's Sepoys going and returning on furlough, which is a sure sign that the Jew is unknown and Government unmixed fon An as surance on the existence of the Hyderabad dynasty till December, 1852, could only be done 'at a high premium, tee re•k being decidedly ha . zartious.. " The assertion that Lord Felkland had received by he last snail a prii , ate intimation that the Court of Di rectors would be unable to -support him in the Baroda business, and would probably be under the necessity of maniere hius e hes'beett most confidently reiterated by two of the Bombay papers. I mention the report as being prevalent, and generally believed, but I am as sured un good authority that it is without foundation. The scandals in reference to official corruption in connec tion with Baroda Continue 'to excite public attention to a painful degree. The kcal papers are daily full'ot the subject. The following is from the Bombay Times, the most moderate in its tone of treating the subject of any of the Bombay papers:— "' The Bombay newspapers continue as warm as ever on the subject of the corruptness of the subordinates of the Secretariat, and the extreme misconduct of Govern ment in -connexion with Baroda affairs. Above a quarter of a million sterling is known to have been sent from Barochs to Bembay fur the purpose of influencing the decisions of Government, and it is reasoned that it the keen , scented and close : fisted men of business who paid such sumsas these had found they were throwing away their money, they „would have discontinued the practice on discovering its fruitlessness—the fact of their perieveranee showing that they at all events are satisfied that they have made a profitable bargain. Go vernment have for ten years been aware that scandals on these subjects Were universal against them and their servants; yet, with the single exception of the inquiriei miller Sir George Atthur in 1843, they have always endeavoured to bemystify and huddle up Matters, to die- Countenance ieguiry, and patronize the most notorious of his negotiations.

The general anxiety felt for the safety of the Had dington with the home mail of the 24th of January was only allayed on the 17th instant, when the Bombay ex press letters with London dates to the 9th of February arrived, and tidings were received that some accident to her machinery, a short di s t an ce from Suez, had com pelled her to r e tu rn t o thitt port, where she remained for repairs, the passengers and the general direct corre spondence waiting for the Oriental to be conveyed to their destination. . This long suspense in the receipt of later commercial and political intelligence had a disturbing influence on general operations, and the reserve assumed in which spread dulneaa over our export.market, and which was further aggravated by an upward tending exchange, eel the Interveotion of some native holidays. The transactions since our last issue have, from these com bined causes, been kept within the most narrow bounds, without leading prices, though less steady, to any gene. tel decline, whilo within the last few days the advices of the somewhat improved position of a few leading staples, have, as regards these, imparted renewed firm ness to our holders. Our import market, we regret to say, cannot be de scribal as in a satisfactory position. With the exception of those for the lower qualities of gray shirtings and white jaconets, the markets fur almost every article of :mpOrt are duller than they were when the last mail l e f t , - Mule twist has also experienced neglect, and the value of the medium numbers has given way 2 to 3 pica per morab. The rep or t e d sa l es o f this arti c l e do not exceed 500 bales during the fortnight, and since last week the deliveries have fallen of con siderably.

The money market has undergone no alteration since our last report. It is quite apparent that the rates of interest must continue to decline so long as there is so much difficulty in employing the large amount of money `offering. We understand that the surplus means of many of the banks are very heavy, while the offerings are on the decrease. Good mercantile paper is scarce and in demand at 5 to 6 per cent. both from the banks and discount houses, and the call for loans are few. Cotton—A farther advance of fully ic. to 4c. on good middling and upwards has been established since our last review of the market per Atlantic, 17th instant. This has resulted not from a speculative demand or re duced estimates of crop, or falling-off in receipts, but simply from the lightness of stock on sale, and great . scarcity of the better descriptions. For strictly good .middling Mobile 82c. can be obtained, and fair uplands are scarce at 9/c. Tobacco—The sales for the past three days include 50 hhds.

This " lame duck" got up to Spithead this morning, bringing from Plymouth a large proportion of tha crew of the gunnery ship Hotspur, - at that port, to join the Edinburgh, 58, at this. The Wolverine, 12, Commander Falcon, arrived al Spithead last night from the Coast of Africa. She left Loando on the 3d of March, when the Gladiator steam frigate, Captain Adams, was there on her way to the Cape of Good Hope to complete her commission. The Firefly, 4, steam-sloop, Commander G. A. Seymour, was also at Loando, senior officer. The Prometheus, 5, steam-sloop, Commander Foot', was cruizing off the Congo and the Kabenda. The Cygnet, 8, Commander R. W. White. was off Ambriz. The Wolverine took the Gladiater'a kroomcn to Sierra Leone, calling at A.:eension on the 18th of March, and taking on board Lieutenant Didham, late of the Bloodhound; Lieutenant WOOLWICH, MAY I.—Clerk in Charge E. R. Cham berlain (1844), from the Victory flsg• ship at Ports mouth to the Porcupine steam-vessel commissioned at Portsmouth. Captain Cospatrick Baillie Hamilton (1847), having gone through a course of study of steam at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard, was examined during the present week by Mr. Charles Hatherton, chief engineer, and after a minute and lengthened inquiry into his know ledge of steam and the working of marine steam-engines, ho passed very satisfactorily, and received an excellent certificate. To-day (the Ist of May) having been appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty for the delivery of various kinds of anchors from different inventors, for the purpose of being tested—first at Woolwich, where they will un dergo the usual test of anchors to ascertain their strength for service, and subsequently at Sheerness, to ascertain their holding powers and other qualities, in soft and hard ground, and under every way in which they would have to be used at sea—the following were received at Woolwich Dockyard, and the testing process to decide their strength when tried by hydraulic power will com mence on Monday forenoon:— Two anchors made by Fox and Henderson, on Lieu tenant Rogers' patented principle, the one a bower anchor, having a shank of 9ft. lin. in length, and the arm measuring 3ft. 3in. from the inside. The total weight of the anchor and stock is 24 cwt. 2 qrs. and 241 b. The other is a kedge anchor, having a shank lift. 7in. in length, and the arm measuring Oft. 7,n. The total weight of the anchor and stock is 25 cwt. A patented anchor from Mr. James Honiball, 42, Cornbill, having a shank of llft. 7in. in length, and the arms measuring 4ft. 6in, made, by Wood Brothers, of Liverpool, who had a medal awarded them at the Exhi bition for their superior chain cables. An anchor by Mr. Trotman, of similar dimensions and form as the preceding, with a modification of the palm, by which the penetrating angle is much enhanced. The total weight of the anchor and stock is 25 cwt. 1 qr. and 61h. A registered anchor by Mr..Mitcheson, similar in form to the ordinary anchor, the presumed improvement being an alteration in the sections of the shank, arms, and palm. The length of the shank is iofr. and the arms Oft. from the inside. Anchors from other parties are expected, bat they have not been landed. When the testing is completed at Woolwich and Sheerness the anchors will be brought back to Woolwich, and the hydraulic power applied to ascertain the utmost strain they will bear before breaking. -- ROYAL MAarais.—The officers of the Woolwich division of the Royal Marin'es gavn - a grand so . bef; at their messroom in the barracks Gll, WCatlei•fiay evening last, and it was numerously attended by the . nobility, g'ntry, and fashionable families of the garrison, town, and miii,hbourhood. Refreshments, consisting of every delicacy of the season, with a profusion of choice wines, were served to the asseintdy, and all were delighted with the entertainment. Dancing continued till about four o'clock on the -following morning, the excellent band of the division playing a tine sciection of music. Cater, and Dr. Tiernan, promoted. She left at Aseen sion the Tortoise • store and guard-ship, 12, Captain Kitchen, and the Volcano, 5, steam-sloop, Commander Coate, and arrived at Sierra Leone on the 31st of March.

Forbes, in the even ing. The Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant Commander Temple, arrived on the 2d of April, and the packet from Eng land on the 3d, at two A.M. Lieutenant H. Christie has exchanged with Acting-Lieutenant Bruce to command the Bloodhound steam-tender, Mr. Bruce coming home to pass. The Wolverine left Sierra Leone on the 3d of April without mails. The Philomel was to leave on the sth for the Gambia and England. Commodore Bruce would sail for the Bights in a few days. The Sealark had taken a Spanish brig up the river Pongas. The Wolve rine has made three prizes and liberated 464 slaves; the trade was very flat; there was very little ventured upon except to the northward, and that for the Cuban market. On the 9th of April, at five P.M , in latitude 9.48 N., longitude 24.25 W., the Wolverine exchanged colours with the Eaglish ship Raffaelle, of London, running to the southward, every possible stitch of canvas set; on the 22d a heavy gale from the N.W. passed to windward and in sight of Fayal; 23d, at 7,30 ADr , in latitude 40.34 N., longitude 26.03 W., passed and exchanged colours with the English steamer Parana, of London, steering to the northward—wind strong from N.N.W. The Wolverine has net been above two years and a half in commission; therefore it is probable the Admiralty will have some more work out of her before paying her off.

My name has been referred to by the Noble Lord who has pre viously addressed your, but it was in a capacity less en de:ring than that of a member et the republic of letters. —(Cheers and laughter.) I can assure my Noble Friend that any appeal made to ice in my official capacity to advert the arts will alweys find a reedy sympathy in my breast; het I beg to remind any Noble Friend and the • company I have now the gratification of addresiirg, that as Jar as regards the task I attempt to fulfil, the hope so long indulged in, that set may find a habitation worthy of its lofty mission, is one full of difficulties, and that I. must look for aid and sympathy to other quartets than I can co mmand before I can secur e success. I cannot forget that, if the House of Com mons be applied to for this great object, there sits there one who is distinguished for ability, and who is—what I have no claim to—an eminent and successful statesman. (Cheers.) If I could be assisted by the Noble Lord the Member for London—(Cheers and laughter)—if ho would but exert his authority in that House, on whatever side he may sit, I might, indeed, in dulge in the hope that I would succeed in fulfilling your expectations anu in achieving a greet result which has heeti too long delayed, and to which my Noble Friend so significantly alluded to-night.—(Cheers.) I will in dulge in the hope from that reference that a palace may arise in this great metropolis worthy of the arts, worthy of the admiration of the foreigner, worthy of thi s mig hty people, as the becoming emporium where all the genius and inventions of men may be centred and celebrated; but to accomplish that hope we must enlist all the sympathies of all the parties in the state; and it is nut to me—one whom accident has placed in a posi tion for which he is not qualified—but to those whose long services and the evidences of whose great abilities have gained the confidence of the, country, you must look, and if assisted . by the Noble Lord the Member for the city of London, then, indeed, the Royal Academy and this company may expect the accomplishment of that which they have so long desired; and, in the hope that the 'Noble Lard will so assist us, I will break through the etiquette Of the, evening; and, with your, permissions I will venture to propose to you 'The, health of the - Noble Lord the Member for the City of London.— (Great laughter and cheering.) The PRESIDENT, amid renewed laughter, said that he of f a aL d toou i r n radd t n e ej n je d ..e e ßs d ßsuau t sr o ssyes p . jEi rlo e s clu e a t rl h i.e a d t o t o n a t s h t, em bu t t o hdirsi drink k n t t e h r e v h e n e a t i l o th n President, I am extremely obliged to you and to this company for adopting and sanctioning the toast which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer has somewhat irregularly proposed.—(Cheers and laughter.) I thought I was safe from being called on in tau course of this evening, you said, be be cause I remembered that, last as the Lord Mayor of London was not present, you ex pected me to return thanks for him, and, as I saw the Lord Mayor was present this evening, I imagined I should be exeused.—(Laughter and cheers). With re spect to the allusions the Chancellor of the Exchequer has made, whether they were in jest or earnest, or in both—(Laughter)—my efforts shall be used to provide a better habitation for the Royal Academy.—(Cheers) I No one knows better than the president himself that we were, as all governments will be, afraid of taking the responsibility of fixing on a silo for the building. We knew it it were placed in the middle of the town, we should be told the pictures would be spoiled by the smoke and dust, and crowds of idle boys—(Laughter)— and that it it were placed at some distance from the City we should be told we wore patting them where the people could not reach them, and the objects of art would be beyond their power to visit. Ia this difficulty we called on you to fix a site, and a commission was appointed, but neither the Government nor the Com toiesion, as it happened, assisted each other in fixing on the new site—(Laughter)—and so nothing was -done. It is a difficult matter to give satisfaction in such a case, and it will take time to decide upon the best course, but I hope we may at last be successful. I am glad to hear from my Noble Friend the Earl of Derby the sentiments to which I shall certainly readily answer, that diffsrencra of politics do not interrupt or dissolve private friendships.—(Loud cheers.) I ventured last year to observe that it was remarkable how many persons eminent in the arts had succeeded in literature, and that we had no better works than those written by painters who at the same time were at the head of their profession; and I stated that I had not remarked that many of those great in • literary eminence had shown similar proficiency iu the art of paintiug.—(Cheers and laughter.) 'Mr. Burke and Mr. Macaulay were both famous in literature, but I do not khoef that either of them could produce a picture equal to any in this room. Now, this is an arena which yet remains open for the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(Cheers and l a ughter)— and, as he has succeeded in so many things 'already, I hope he will try to succeed in the fine arts as he has done in literature, and, as I must say, be has done in political science. —(Great laughter and cheering.) 'The toast of the " Foreign Ministers" was acknow ledged by his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen. The health of the "Lord Mayor" and several other toasts followed, and the party broke up at halt-past ten o'clock, COURT CIRCULAR. Saturday - was the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur.
