The inferior quality of paper would, therefore, be even more largely resorted to in this country than in tho United States. ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE, OXFORD-STREET. Under the Management of Mr. CHARLES BEAN. THIS EVENING, So much for the revenue. The circulation of intelligence would not be increased, even if the journals remained equally efficient, and the num ber issued was largely increased. At present, in consequence of the postal facilities allowed, tiler© are few papers that do not pass through several hands. They may be read the first day in town, then transmitted to the country, and passed two or three times through country offices; in fact, three or four persons frequently join at present to pur chase a metropolitan journal—a course which will be greatly impeded if the proposed alterations should receiN e the legislative sanction. One of the chief difficulties was, however, over looked or disregarded before the opinions of these practical men had been elicited. It would, it appears, be almost impossible for the parties to pack and sort a mixed edition of stamped and unstamped journals when driven to the very last moment as is necessarily the case at present. Be sides, delays would take place in the Post-office itself. In order to guard against fraud many papers would be examined and frequently mis laid. Regarding the matter then in all its varied aspects, considering its probable effects with re spect to the revenue, to the community at large, and to the proprietors, conductors, and vendors of newspapers, and the steadily increasing feeling of dissatisfaction, it is impossible to resist the demand for postponement and further informa tion. The law, as it now stands, avowedly works well, and it is a sound principle to let well enough alone.

A loblolly boy on board a man of-war--a pow der monkey to a midshipman's mess—although by no means reposing on a bed of roses, enjoys a perfect sinecure when compared with an officer of the army medical department. Although his masters may be numerous and exigante, he yet knows their number and the frill extent of their own responsibility, so as to be enabled to calculate with tolerable precision the " whippings" lie is likely to receive in the course of the day or week. Besides, his task-masters, though tyrannical and unreasonable themselves, support their servant against all others. It may be from their selfish motives—from being well aware that unless they A did so he would be good for nothing, and that they could not enjoy the advantages they required from his exertions. But the medical officer is not only powerless to act for himself, but even with prolonged experience he is totally ignorant as to the point at which, the surveillance of one department ends and that of another begins. Let the evils coming under his observation be ever so glaring—let the men placed under his charge be enduring the greatest privations their very lives seriously endangered from pre ventible causes —he can yet do nothing. He may " represent" whatever he pleases. The chances of obtaining redress are certainly very trifling. Bat complaints are stri c tly selon, les regles, and therefore ho may occupy as much time as he pleases in writing ; but the moment he ven tures to give an order he finds his authority con wt....a, Ana mwsea pouncea Vii by some one or more of the many departments with which he is so unfortunately connected. The evidence of Dr. ANnatEw SMITH, the soi disant Director-General. of the Medical Depart ment, places this grievance in a strong point of view. He finds himself in the first instance placed under the direct ( - ontrol of some half-a dozen different departments, all unwilling to take any step lest it might be trenching on the autho rity of others, but peculiarly sensitive respecting any interference with their own. No one, it ap pears, can accurately define the line of demarcation between the different jurisdictions. The parties themselves will abstain from giving any order, or doing anything, but, " like dogs in the manger," they are prepared at once to attack the person who may endeavour to cut the Gordian knot' by assuming tke responsibility which they themselves had previously repudiated. In fact the 'practice rappears to be that they will neither do anything themselves nor permit others to do it. It is not merely the higher authorities that are so troublesome. It is true that the Director- General appears to owe a divided allegiance to the Secretary of War, the Secretary at War, the Mas ter-General of the Ordnance, the civic authority of the Beard of Ordnance, the Commander-in-Chief, ezc. Now that the Secretaryship at War has been abolished, he may, as Dr. SMITH re marked, have one master less ; but still it will be admitted that quite enough remain to perplex and puzzle the clearest head. The minor annoy ances are, however, far greater. A host of mas ters, whose name is legion, arise at every point to , obstruct the medical officer on duty. The military commandant of the hospital nominally placed under his control, the engineer officer, the Transport Service, the Ambassador or Consul, the officer of the Ambulance Corps, and a host of others too numerous to mention.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer must indulge in very brilliant anticipations as to the state of the revenue should he persist in forcing the Newspaper Stamp Bill on the House of Commons. The guardians of the public purse must be pre pared to yield to tne _rtignu ilvuuutdauit, Datia,4c., the blind and unreasoning confidence so un sparingly exacted by his predecessor if they con sent to sacrifice irretrievably at least two hundrcd thousand pounds, or more probably a quarter oF a million sterling, before hearing the financial statement of the now Minister, and his exposition of the financial prospects of the country. Were the Newspaper Stamp Bill as anxiously desired as it is decidedly rejected, as well by the community in general as by those pecuniarily interested in its working, it would still be a rash experiment to sanction before the Budget had been opened, and full information accorded as to the nature of the substitute or substitutes to be provided. Under existing circumstances, however, we can searcel,y conceive the possibility of the reasonable applica tioa of Mr. DENDM being rejected, or the measure being recklessly or indecently forced on, in spite of the grave objections that have been put for ward against its provisions. Since last we commented on this important' subject, a clue possessing greater practical ex. perience, and better qualified to form a sound judgment as to the probable results of the mea sure, should it unfortunately be suffered to pass into a law, has spoken out distinctly and unequi vocally. If there were any weight in the argu ments put forward in favour of the abolition of the Stamp, the members of the newspaper trade would find it their interest to advocate the change. After mature and attentive consideration of all its provisions, they have, however, arrived at the conclusion that it will materially., enhance the difficulties of conducting their business, and ren der labours, already exceedingly arduous, almost impossible to be performed.

LORD DUNDONALD AND THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH-. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. S —The perilous duties to which our fivefold-deci mated army is still exposed by rival co-operation in the desperate act of storming Sebastopol, or by the continu ance of the siege until pestilence or other causes shall complete its ruin, induce me thus sin,gy to encounter all the ridicule anticipated by those who avoid compromising their judgment even by condescending to inquire if my plans are absurd, or whether in truth they are capable " speedily, crrtnuly, and cheaply to surmount obstacles which our gallant, persevering, and costly armies and fleets have failed to accomplish." I, therefore, as a faithful subject of her Majesty, and for the inter e sts of humanity, now declare my intention, without further delay, to communicate to the wise and energetic ally of her most gracious Majesty the means not only to spare the remnant of the British army, but to insure that of France, by tho speedy destruction. of the defences of Sebastopol.

The rumour of a visit of the Emperor of the French to England has often been circulated since the alliance between the countries, and is at last likely to be realised. The ♦isit has been decided within the last few days, and in official quarters it is affirmed that it will take place on Easter Mon day. As for the j mrney to the Crimea, nothing more can be said than it is likely to depend on the turn matters take at Vienna, and if it be true that the difficulty about Sebastopol will be removed otherwise than by storming and capture, there is no reason why his Majesty should undertake so fatiguing a journey, not without risk in its execu tion, and far from certain in its results. Rumours circulated some days ago of a con spiracy having been discovered, the object of which was to assassinate the Emperor, and of many ar rests being made. It is true that from 50 to 60 persons have been taken into custody on such a charge. Among them are a professor of literature, two or three letter-carriers, and the rest belonging to the lowest class of Socialists. In Paris the idea that we are approaching a pacific situation is gaining ground rapidly The Moniteur publishes the text of the decree which was presented to the Legislative Corps yes terday to extend the session of that body to the evening of tho 11 thApril. _ _ The Ylioniteur publishes a decree appointing the members of the Imperial Council of Public In struction for 1855. The names are for the most part of those of the persons who composed the council last year. An Imperial decree pronietcs General of Bri ' gade Count A. do Monet to the rank of General of Division ; and Colonels Breton, Braive, De Save linges, Soleille, Pierre, Chanfroid, Labadie, Cauvin de Bourguet, and De Pecqueult de Lavarande to that of Generals de Brigade. The Emperor has just ordered M. Fould to pre sent Vely Pacha with a very handsome service of Sevres porcelain, the Ottoman Minister ha v i ng ex pressed a wish to rcarry back with hi m t o Turkey some specimens of the productions of that manu facture. A letter from Toulon states that the Imperial yacht, Iteine Hortense, will not be completely fitted up before the ead of the month, and it is therefore thought there, that should the Emperor proceed to the Crimea, as has been affirmed, his departure will not take place so soon as some journals have announced. The Trident ship of the line sailed from Toulon on Thursday for Constantinople, having on board 26 officers and 719 rank and file of the 73d regi ment of the line. In addition she carried out 254 men of the 47th regiment, and a large quantity of provisions and ammunition for the army. The steam-fri g ate Eriloa arrived at Toul on th e prece di ng day from Constantinople and Kt - tiniest), having on board a number of wounded and convalescents from the army of the East, several of whom were English. A letter from Marseilles of the 23d, says :-- "A great number of sailing transports 'have been en gaged for some days past in taking on board horses and mules for the Crimea, and in a few days a regular fleet of vessels will leave this port. Th 3 Pharamond steamer, with 110 soldiers on boar,l, belonging to the 10th regt. of the line, and the Lycurgue, with 40 artillery men, 102 privates of the 10th regt., 37 military workmen, and several horses, left yesterday for Constantinople. The Carmel steam-packet left this, morning having on board 210 Chasseurs de Vincennes, an English officer (Sir Geo. Maclean, Commissary-General of the English army), and 30 other passengers, and the principal hotels are crowded with English officers and their families. The Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo has arrived here on his return to Spain from Rome. The Mongibello, which arrived the day before yeiterday from Naples, brought to France the body of Baron Charles de Rothschild lately deceased at Naples._ The body was immediately sent to Paris." Major-General' Paolo Cavero, Intendant-Gene ral of the Piedinontese army, and several other officers belonging to the expedition, embarked on the 21st on board the French vessel Vatican for Constantinople.

VIENNA, March 22.—The first of the Four 'Points is settled, and the second, which relates to the free navigation of the Danube, was yesterday entered into by the Conference. During the first three meetings all went on smoothly enough, but the sitting of yesterday is said to have been very stormy. What it was that roused the bile of the representative of Russia is unknown, but the offen sive proposition is supposed to have emanated either from Count Buol or Baron Prokesch, as both those Ministers were yesterday evening in very bad repute in the Russian camp. Political correspon dents, like those diplomatists who are not members of the Conference, CAll form no clear and connected idea of what is going on ; but you may be as sured that the Russian eagle will not escape without having had its wings and talons so closely clipped that it will for.the future be comparatively harm less. Perhaps no one in" this city, except the Con-, ference Ministers and their assistants, has even the most . distant idea of what the three protocols already signed contain ; but authentic information has reached mc,- that the way in which the ques tion relative to Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia has been, settled is highly t3Wpfactory to tho four COURT CIRCULAR.

SIR HENRY Bisnor's CONCERTS.--The success which attended Sir Henry Bishop's " Vocal Afternoon Con certs " at the Hanover-square Rooms, has induced the spirited entrepreneur, Mr. Mitchell, of Bond-street, to give another entertainment of a similar kind, though on a much more extensive scale, which is announced to take place te-morrow evening at Exeter-hall. The services of our greatest English tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves, and of Miss Rrih, have been secured, in order that the fullest justice may La done to some of the most popular solo works of one of England's best composers, for whose ad mirable, concerted, and choral pieces a worthy render ing Las also been insured by the engagement of those excellent glee singers, Masters Sullivan, MaLsch, Cooke, Norton, Messrs. Francis, Benson, Land, Buckland, and Lawler, together with an efficient choir amounting to 200 voices.

WOLVERHAMPTON, SATURDAY EVENING. A large number of colliers assembled this morning at the Fighting Cocks, on the Dudley-road. After some time spent in deliberation, a party proceeded towards Wolverhampton, armed a ithpike-bandles and bludgeons. Nearly all the shops along the expected route were closed. The mob, receiving no check, bad got nearly to the centre of the town, demanding relief at the pro vision and beer-shops as they passed along, threatening that if refused they would take it. The police, armed with cutlasses, charged the mob, and the appearance of the pensioners' bayonets com pleted their dismay, and they hurriedly dispersed. The anticipated retaliation on the part of the mob at Eilston, on Friday night, was prevented by the arrival of a corps of the Essex Rifles from Weedon, under the com mand of Captain Cope. To-day Bilston has been very quiet, but the services of the yeomanry were deemed ne cessary at Darlaston on Friday evening, and the Wal sall troop, under the command of Captain Chavvner, soon arrived. Their appearance was sufficient to quell the disturbance, anal this morning the troop returned to Walsall. No sooner had they left than the mob began again to collect in the streets, and to commit a number of petty thefts. A second appearance of the troop of yeomanry pet them to flight, as they had no disposition to endanger themselves by a collision. At the Eitchills, near Walsall, a meeting of colliers was held this morning, and after compelling the men employed in Mr. Miner's pit to leave work they seized a number of a:tieles and threw them down the shaft of the pit. About 700 proceeded to Walsall in a body. On their way they committed various depredations, and were in the act of plundering the market, when a large number of townsmen, healed by some prize-fighters, charged and forced them down High-street and through Dig,beth to the bridge. The yeomanry at this crisis entered the town, on their return from Darlas ton, and their appearance completed the panic, the mob at once taking to flight. The shOps were kept closed for the remainder of the day, with few exceptions, and the magistrates sat permanently to swear in special constables, in order to be prepared for any future attack of the mob. Eight rioters are in custody. __ SUNDAY, MID-DAY. Thanks to the preparations made by the authorities there has been no recurrence of disturbance in the towns above named ; a lot of idlers was about the streets of Bilston late last night, and a policeman received a severe blow from a stone thrown by an unknown hand. A 'large mob assenabled in the neighbourhood of Walsall in the evening, but dispersed without doing any mis chief. If we pass over to-morrow (Monday), always an idle and a noisy day in this district, in safety, in all probability no further fears need be entertained. HAYHARKET._Mr. Wilde, the respected treasurer of this theatre, takes his benefit on Wednesday evening next, when the following attractive series of entertain ments will be performed ;—The Secret Agent, Bayle Bar naby's capital farce, His Last Legs (in which Mr. Hudson will appear for this night only), and the last new spirited ballet, in which the incomparable Peres Nena and her troupe will appear. Mr. Wilde deserves a bumper. STRAND THEATRE.—Mr. Payne, the acting manager of this pretty little theatre, takes his benefit this evening. The entertainments are of the most attractive descrip tion, and we have no doubt Mr. Payne will receive the reward he deserves. VURTHER DEFENCES OF CRONSTADT.—We have reason to believe that telegraphic despatches have been received announcing that some Russian ships of the line and other vessels have been sunk between piles in the navigation way at Cronstadt.

Some slight misgivings were fell that Austria would, to use the expression of the honourable member for Tamworth, " humbug" the Western Powers ; nut Count Buol and Baron Prokesch aro said to have behaved in a way which excited the admiration of the representatives of England and France. When Lord John Russell spoke, and on what subject he spoke, is unknown ; but he must recently have made an excellent speech, as Baron Prokesch yesterday expressed his high admiration of his eloquence. 'You will naturally find that the fozegoing is a very meagre account of what is going on here, but the informa tion which you have hitherto received, and may in future receive from me on the subject cf the Conferences, is likely to prove perfectly correct. This morning a Cabinet messenger was sent off to England with despatches, probably contain ing an account of what took place at the . Confe rence of yesterday, which lasted from one till five. As has been said, the first point is settled, but it would be erroneous to suppose that the Conference has entered into the more minute details of the matter. The fundamental principles of the first condition have, however, been exactly defined, and, as is said, in several paragraphs. Mr. Hammond, the Under-Secretary of State, has been confined to his room for the last 10 days with the gout, but it has not been so severe as to interfere with his pro fessional duties. Telegraphic intelligence has been received here that ono of the Queen's messengers, who was journeying from this city to Constantinople, by way of Bucharest, had arrival at the Wallachian capital, but so Much hurt that it was necessary to send on his despatches by a Tatar. It appears that the carriage or light waggon in which he travelled was overturned. Prince Gortschakoff and DT. de Titoff have evi dently considered it necessary to rally all their forces around them, for M. Muchin, who was for merly Russian Co nsu l i n S erv i a , and M. von Chalt schinsky, the Consul-General, who was formerly so powerful in Moldavia and Wallachia, are nbw here. The Chevalier Timotheus Knersevitch, the Chief of the . Administrative Department of the Servian Central " Cha.ncellerie," who has arrived here on a special mission from the Hospodar, has already waited on Count Buol. Opinions are divided as to the office which Lieut.-Gen. Count Degenfield is to fill. According to some, he is to be Minister of War ; according to others, he will be sent as Mili tary Commissioner' to England. The last version can hardly be correct, as Count Dengenfield's rank and standing in the army are far higher than those of Count do Crenneville, who is Commissioner in ►Paris. In order that your readers may have a clearer idea of what is going on here, and be able to judge for theinscive3 what chances tkere are of the pre sent 4eitioHs4eading to peace, the bases pro isOsedi by.the three Powers, and subsequently ac cepted by :Russia, Will be placed in ‘juxta-position to those which Prince Gortschakoffi even on" the 7th of January would fain have forced on the re presentatives of England, France, and Austria : "The Aide Memoire of the "The' four points, according Allies ran : , to the RussianinterprotA "ln ord2r more exactly lion. to define the sense which their Governments attach . to each of the principl?s con tained in the four articles, but reserving to themselves, as they have always done, the right of making such other special conditions as may, in addition to the four gutirantees, be by them deemed necessary for the general interest of Europe, and for preventing the recur- rents of the present compli cations, the repre3ent❑tives ofAustria,France,audGreat Britain dn declare— " 1.

If the above be honourably fulfilled by Russia, the Western Powers and Turkey will have no rea son to complain that they have shed their blood and expended their treasure in vain. We are in possession of Count Nesselrode's circular of the 10th March, but no great importance.is attached to it by professional politicians, although its object evidently is to remove the unpleasant impression which the manifesto, published by, Alexand er on his acce ss i on t o the throne, was calculated to make. It may produce a favourable effect on the European exchanges, but the diplomatic world is not likely to be deceived by the specious language of the veteran Russian Statesman. The address which the Prussian Chamber of Deputies proposes to present to the King has created a great sensa tion here, as it is an unmistakeable condemnation of the foreign policy of his .4overnment, although couched in most respectful and guarded language. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Jassy of the 20th, in the Danube, says :—" In consequence of an order received from Bucharest, preparations are being made at Ibrail for the reception of French troops who are coming there from Varna; and a supply of provisions is being collected for their use." PRUSSIA. . . BERLIN, MARCH 23.—The Chambers have re jected the project of address, by a large majority. This was naturally to b e expec t e d , w h en t h e M i• nister for Foreign Affairs informed the house that, albeit he held himself responsible' for all acts, the foreign politics ,of the country were in the hands of the King. To vote for the address was therefore, in the general opinion, to ex press condemnation, not so much of the Cabinet, which is a fixture, but of the King himself, whose name is perpetually dragged forward, by deficient and failing ministers, as a shield. The bill for according ministers permission to dispose of the remainder of the 30 millions loan was also adopted, but with all the amendments propcsed in committee, one of which is that the faculty shall not extend beyond the 31st of December next—a restriction which shows the degree of cenfidencnplaced in the Government, even by the majority. Thus the two questions are set at rest, but not without another severe rent in the statesman's mantle of the Minis tertPresident. BELGIUM.
