That the allowance to widows cease upon their second marriage, unless continued by an express order of the committee ; but during any subsequent widowhood the widow is to be at liberty to apply to be replaced on the fund ; but no woman is to continue to receive an allow ance if she shall, in the opinion of the committee, by pro fligate conduct dishonour the memory of her husband. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1855. THE LATE EMPEROR OP _RUSSIA. (From the Times of this day.) The part which the late Emperor of Russia has played in the affairs of Europe was so considerable that the sudden termination of his active life and his eventful reign inuq at any time have produced consequences of the deepest interest to the world. The interest is in creased by the fact that the Emperor Nicholas dies at a crisis of incalculable peril, when a war kindled by his haul is raging within a part of his own dominions, and a league, including the three most powerful empires of the world, withstands the policy of the Russian Govern ment. We shall therefore proceei to consider the poli tical effects of this extraordinary event—first on Russia, secondly on the other Powers of Europe, and thirdly on the war. The first question which every one has asked is, whe ther the succession to the throne of Russia is clear and un lisputed ? whether one of these military or popular con vul , ions is to be anticipated which bare so frequently accompanied the transfer of sovereignty in Russia—or, whether the Grand Duke Alexander has been allowed to assume without opposition the Government of the em pire ? Our information, as far as it extends is favour able on all these points. We are told that the new Eedperor received the homage of his subjects on the very day of his father's death, and we trust be may display on the throne the same virtues and the same modera tion which have hitherto distinguished him in the circle of his family. But his position is one of extraordinary difficulty. The government of Russia has resided for thirty years in the hands of one man ; the will of the Emperor was ever on the alert to enforce obedience, to crush opposition, to repress and punish abuses, and to give motion to all the departments of the State. These duties had been carried by Nicholas beyond the limits of human strength and endurance in the present contest, for he had to prepare for war on a scale of unexampled magnitude, and to struggle to regain his political position iu Europe without the assistance of a single ally. The government of one able man, armed with absolute power, may be highly efficient for the purposes of war, when you have such a man ; but what does it become without him ? Bleeders may, indeed, be committed by the responsible Ministers of a constitutional government, but.in the long run that form of government is far less exposed than despotic government to the risks incidental to human life. By the death of the Emperor Nicholas the supreme govern ment of Russia is suddenly transferred to the hands of an untried ruler, comparatively unknown to the people and to the army. This Prince is believed to be attached to the principles of the pacific and moderate party in the State, and strongly opposed to the old Muscovite party, whose violent counsels have led to this war. But it is wholly uncertain whether the new Emperor will have the courage or the power to act upon these principles, or whether he may not be over powered by the fanaticism and the energy of the parti sans of the war, headed by his own brother, the Grand Duke Constantine. Nicholas may have been able to balance these opposite forces, and, indeed, that was the great object of the internal policy of his reign ; but who san tell that his successor will have equal influence, or that be will be permitted to acquire it ? Years must elapse before he can obtain that astonishing ascendancy which his father exercised over the insurgents of St. Petersburg on the very day of his accession ; and in the meantime the whole order of the State is put to a severe trial, the army loses its head in the midst of great operations of war, and the empire is deprived of the mighty hand which had so long restrained the barbarism of its social condition and compensated the weakness of its institu tions. The death of Nicholas is a greater blow to Russia than the defeat of her armies, the destruction of her fleets, and the invasion of her territory, for it may open a new and very different era in the annals of that empire,. Nor is its effect more likely to prove less remarkable on the relations of Russia with the rest of Europe. The Emper er Nicholas had caused himself to be regarded througl , out a large portion of the Continent, but more especial ly among the minor German States, as the cham pion of absolute authority, and the determined antago nist of liNexal institutions. We have seen to what an extent, even in the present contest, the influence he had acquired at those Courts served to counterbalance every generous im pulse and every patriotic resolution. We have seen ho•w the Russian party at Berlin and elsewhere clung with frantic allegiance to the idol they had sub' stituted for the gods of their country, and sold their honour and independence for the personal favour of Nicholas. No doubt, the power he possessed of inspiring those who a pproached him with strong emotions, both of attachment .and fear, contributed largely to this species of influence ; but he had raised it to the efficiency of a politic a system, and he was more entirely master of som c of the Courts of Germany than those who wear the baubles of Royalty with far less of the reality of power. It i s impossible to conceive prostration more absolute and Mt l'e hopeless than that of the miserable beings who had 5 ased the political system in which they lived on this fore ian support. To them the news of the death of the Er uperor of Russia must have sounded like the crack oft boom. They cannot fall hack on their own abilities, for these they have prostituted to the ad versary and oppre; •sor of their country. They cannot I invoke their past s ervices, for he wham they really served will requite their efforts no more. Even the King of Prussia, 1;, Trio has sacrificed so much of his own dignity and in) portance in Europe to his fatal connection with Russ) 'a, will probably learn from this event how feeble and la ow frail is any policy not based on the interests and the desires of his own people. That great and terribi figure which seemed to cast its shadow from the i lorth across the broad plains and populous cities of .Europe is laid low. That policy which threw the wrh ole weight of Russia into the adverse scale wherever tl me progress of freedom and civi lisation could be opposed is shaken to its base, and what ever support the reaction: .ry party in Europe derived from the personal charaute r of the Emperor Nicholas is dissipated. The present .1 .var was alarm and aversion by the sycophants of Riu .;sit, because they thought it would lessen that influence which they hold to be essene tial to the cause of desre )tisin : but the death of the Czar is even more fatal to their hopes than the defeat of his policy and the ruin of lois armies. Let us briefly apply the se considerations to the pros pects of the war in which - we are ourselves engaged. It is indisputable that we luteve now to deal with an enemy weak ened at home and w eakened abroad. The chief cause of the war is remov( el in the person of the Czar, and hi s successor on the th rone is believed to be favour able tar the restoration of peace. It is imposs;ble that a Prime who has barely ascended the throne can exact are , saute sacrifices from his subjects, the same obedienc a from his officers, or the same confidence from his adlier e me as a veteran Sovereign, who had wielded the whol e force of the empire for thirty years. The reign upon , : which the young Czar is now entering may indeed be bese t with perils from which at least his father was I see —such as divisions in his family, disaffec tion among his subjects, and sec ret desi g ns hostile to the very ex .s tence of the Government. All these evils are greatly ve alternative of negotiationsß Russian upon a basis empire now ssian empi aggr avated by the stat e of war, and by the extraordinai 7 - position in which t he already defin, el and oste nsibl y acce p ted, or of a campaign stands. T, carried on w i tit redoubled energy in the Black Sea and the Baltic, me his accession, a I,d leaves him but de cide the fate of 1 :brief interval to sts the new Sovereig n at the moment of 'Lig reign. To carry on the war he will need more than . tiis fat her ' s ener gy , for even his father has perished in the effort. To make peace, on the contrary, ho occ u,eies a position beyond comparison more favourable ti, •e ca his predecessor. He is identified with none of the pi a tensions which led to this war ' • he is not bound to tamp oy the men who have promoted it ; his pride is not pled ed to the refusal of conditions ; his honour is more cont rued in the restoration of peace to the empire than in the prolongation of hostilities. If this contest is still to be carried on, depend upon it it will lead to a convul ,sl . on in Europe, and, we may add, in Russia, which no in an will be the master of, and the consequences of the wt• ar may shake the foundations of that empire. On eve account, therefore, we believe it now to be the obvio - c is and paramount interest of Russia to obtain peace, as she may obtain it, by promptly ac cepting those conclitioz is which have already been framed by the other Cabinets of Europe, and by giving those guarantees ..vhich are n ow more than ever required to protect the independent le of the East.

On Saturday morning her Majesty the Queen, accom panied by Prince Albert, the Duke cf Cambridge; the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, paid a visit to the Fort Pitt and Brompton Hospitals at Chatham. The object of the visit was to evince the sympathy of the Royal family with those sick and wounded soldiers from the army in the East who, having been sent home for the benefit of their health, have been received into these establishments. Everybody will respect the motives of such a visit, and, indeed, they speak for themselves. That when the heart of the whole nation has been wrung with grief at the sufferings of our troops the Queen should be foremost in the manifestation of her sorrow and solicitude is only natural and becoming on her part ; nor should the public be indifferent to acts of this kind, which for a moment at least shed the lustre of Royal favour over the obscure valour of the ranks, and help to make the humblest pri vate feel himself distinguished. The Royal visitors, attended by the military authorities of Chathatn and the medical officers of the two hospitals, made the round of all the wards except those containing fever cases. Her Majesty addressed kind inquiries to many of the wound ed men, those who were well enough to be up receiving her at the foot of their respective cots with cards in their hands, specifying the nature of their wounds, and in what action received. There is nothing in the details of such a visit - to dilate upon ; and when the fact that it took place has been stated the chief interest of the oc currence itself is exhausted. In Fort Pitt Hospital there are only 197 patients, and in that of Brompton Barracks, which has been recently established, and is supplemental to Fort Pitt, there are 164. In the two places the number of meu under treatment does not ex ceed 361, and the great majority of these are convales cents. Neither, therefore, in the size of the establishments nor in the gravity of the cases, in their present stage, do these hospitals present much material for swelling out the importance attached to a Royal visit. When, however, you connect them with the sanitary state of our army in the East, and with the defective working of the Medical Department there, it becomes a very different matter. Tuen they do acquire a significance which is painfully startling. It must have occurred to the Duke of Cam bridge, at least, on Saturday, as indeed a terrible and overwhelming fact, that two small buildings, neither of them constructed to serve the uses to which they are now applied, should be sufficient to hold within their walls nearly all that has reached the English shores of that mighty burden of human suffering which day by day, week by week, and month by month has been launched from the Crimea. What has become of it all, and on what sad coast does it linger ? Where are those legions of stalwart men who in the pride and strength of manhood left England only one short year ago ! Why, those two hospitals hardly form au appreciable portion of the space occupied in the same way on the banks of the Bosphorus, and the number of ince is less than have been buried in a single week at Scutari. There were 500 patients received at Chathatn from the army of the Eaet last month, and a few in December ; but that is all, though the number embarked from the Crimea cannot be under 15,000. It may be said that there are numbers of convalescents at Malta, Corfu, and other stations, and that the 361 men iu hospital at Fort Pitt and Brompton Barracks are not to be taken as evidence of the small success which has attended the medical treat ment of the soldier in this campaign. Time, however, will show what proportion of those who have been in valided will ever return to their duty, and in the mean while it must occur to those who have been in the East, and have seen the state of our hospitals there, that we ought to have a larger reversion of sickness at home than the Queen and Royal family saw at Chathana on Satur day. If greater efforts had been made to relieve the overcrowded wards and corridors at Scutari, by sending all who could be moved home in tome of the transport steamers lying idle at Balaklava and in the Golden Horn, hundreds of valuable lives might have been spared. And that consideration alone would, no doubt; Lave amply compensated to her Majesty the pain of a clearer and fuller insight into the sufferings of her soldiers than she could have obtained on Saturday. The hospi tals at Chatham give no more conceetion of those in the East than does the waterfall on mine contemptible stream of that of Niagara. Yet the Queen and Royalty of England were not above the due observance of sym pathies which the Ambassador of England, close to ' scenes appealing overwhelmingly to the feelings, coolly hands over to his wife. Passing, however, from that reproach, and from the immediate subject of this visit, it is worthy of notice that Fort Pitt is the only general military hospital in the United Kingdom, with the ex ception of one at Dublin, capable of accommodating 250 men, and of a still smaller one at Cork. These being garrison towns have afforded an opportunity for depart ing from the strictly regimental-system upon which the internal economy and arrangements of the medical depart ment of the army hare been founded; but thechances thus afforded, few and small as they are, have been turned to very poor account, owing to the niggardly and narrow minded way in which the affairs of the department have been administered by an incompetent chief. Take Fort Pitt as an example. It was originally built as an Artil lery barrack, but far 30 years has been used as a general hospital, and to it invalids were brought from the regi ments serving in India. For that purpose the accommo dation which it provided was found sufficient ; but since the cotnmencement of this war it became requisite to secure increased space, and, in consequence, a portion of the Brompton barracks has been converted into a kind of supplementary hospital. Thus it arises that, as at Scutari, we have the general hospital and the barrack or supplementary hospital, so at Chatham we have those at Fort Pitt and Brompton ; and there is, besides, at St. Mary's an invalid depot, to which men sufficiently well to dispense with strict medical treatment are sent. The Royal party did not visit St. Mary's on Saturday, probably owing to the threatening state of the weather ; but its arrange ments are those of an ordinary barrack, and the building itself was originally intended to serve as an ammuni tion magazine or stole. It will be gathered from these details that the British army has no single establish ment deserving of the name where the military surgeon can acquire a complete view of the organisation requisite when there is a departure from the purely regimental system of the service to which he is accustomed. As long as be is able to treat his sick in the regimental hospital, which lie can always do in peace tunes, be has the necessary appliances and facilities tolerably within his command ; but when the army takes the field that is no longer possible, and then difficulties arise. He has consideration to the details requisite i e m f s o e r l f thegiven e any efficiency ci etly of a good tilati on, orderlies, ligiitin wholesome a suita suitable general hospital. He knows nothing about th e b est mode of securing diets, economy and cle an li ness in washing, ven - Coo s l:i p ti p g l) , , regularity in of clothing, and, above all, an efficient purveyor's de partment. All these thing s corne upon him as overpow ering wants at the very moment when his physical and hospital mental powers are overtaxed by the number of his pa tients. 'hat can he do ? lie has never been taught to consider it Isis business to do more than operate and prescribe, and yet in the very thick of these profes sional duties he finds his skill baffled and his labours neutralised by bad kitchen; careless orderlies, dirty linen, an atmosphere deleterious to health, or a purvey ing establishment made up of clerks in the medical de partment who are utterly unfit for the work which they had to perform. Here at least is some light thrown upon what has recently been taking place in the East. had Fort Pitt been a general military hospital worthy of the name, it is difficult to suppose that the medical de partment of the army could have disclosed so many lament able defects as have come to light within the last few months. That we have no suitable establishments in which to give our military surgeons a proper insight into what the for many require them to know many years the military perhap s b e ascr ib e d to the par been a d m i n i s t ere d ; but, a e sai x nffm i dl g toi b e rn s es i exigencies u e frs s et p o hsa f eprienrdiat war t ; oon n rn i IvlyLaLvis which un doubtedly, it was possible for an able Director-General to have anticipated the difficulties thus arising.

NATURE AND HUMAN NATURE. By the Author of "Sam Slick." 2 vols.—Sam Slick's numerous admirers will had with delight his reappeatauce in these volumes in full vigour. The same caustic humour which has de lighted us for many years is poured out with equal pre fusion, and his abundant store of anecdote is drawn upon with au ungrudging band . to furnish us amusement. " Nature and Human Nature ' will assuredly be read with increased interest from the fact that Judge Hali burton announces this as the last occasion on which Sam will charm and instruct us with his racy word-painting of Transatlantic scenes and sketched, LORD CLARENDON AT BOULOGISTE. The following communication has been received from Boulogne : " The Emperor assembled at his hotel on Friday evening the generals and the principal officers of the camps of Equihen and Honvault. It so happened that when he was thus surrounded by the chiefs of his army of the north, an important despatch arrived, announcing one of those events which make an epoch in the history of a people. Hardly had the Emperor broken the seal than he exclaimed, ' Gentlemen, this is news in deed At these words, every person imagined that they had reference to the taking of Sebastopol, •r some new victory won by the allied army. But what was their astonishment at hearing his Majesty pronounce these words—' The Emperor Nicholas died this morning at ten o'clock, at St. Petersburg.' The unexpected intelligence spread itself with the rapidity of lightning through the whole Own. Haring been often deceived, the publ:c scarcely would credit the in telligence. However, the statement, emanating from such a source, and confirmed as it was by the generals and other superior officers present, was soon received and considered as authentic. " Many persons looked 'upon this sudden and pre mature termination of the Emperor's career as a judg ment of Providence, which wished to strike the promoter of an unjust war, he whose ambition had disturbed Europe, and who Lad cast into mourning so many thousand families. It is to be remarked that intelli gence of two of the most important events that have occurred since the commencement of the war have reached the Emperor during his short sojourn at Bou logne. The news of the celebrated victory of Alma was announced to his Majesty on a fine summer's day with in a few feet of the column of the Grande Armee, from whence the statue of the great modern captain seems yet to watch over the glories of France, whilst the intelligence af the sudden death of Nicholas was announced to the chief of the State in the evening, to the roar of the waves on a stage where so many different events have occurred since the days of Catsar down to those of Napoleon 111. During the whole of Friday and Saturday nights the sea continued to be agitated, and yesterday morning .the bad state of the weather did not prevent the Emperor from repairing to the camp at Ambleteuse, in order to review the troops. His Majesty did not return from this fatiguing excursion before one o'clock in the day. We are assured that he waited for an hour the arrival of Lord Claren don, who was expected to have an interview with the Emperor on the subject of the event of which we have spoken above. The steamer, arrived at the appointed hour, but without his lordship. The steamer, notwith standing a heavy sea and a contrary wind, brought over more than one hundred passengers, amongst whom were forty English ladies who had generously volunteered their services to assist the wounded soldiers at Scutari. As soon as these charitable ladies were disembarked they were conducted with every demonstration of respect to the Hotel des Bains, where Miss Nightingale and her companions had previously been received. "Immediately before three o'clock in the afternoon a second steamer was signalled. It carried Lord Claren don, who had been expected at two o'clock. The English Minister was received, on landing, by the aide-de-camp of the Emperor, and was immediately conducted to the Pavilion Hotel. About five o'clock, Lord Cowley ar rived from Paris, without doubt with the view of con ferring with the Emperor and Lord Clarendon on the subject of the grave incident which may change the aspect of political affairs."

It is hereby notified that official information has been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8., commanding her Majesty's Naval Forces in the Black Sea, dated her Majesty's ship Agatnemnon, off Sebasto pol, Feb. 11, 1855, that from the Ist of Feb. last " the mouth of the River Dniester, the ports of Akermann, Ovi diopol, Odessa, all the ports situated between Ochako♦ Point and Kinbourn Point, including the'ports of Nicolaev and Kherson, the Rivers Bong and Dnieper; also the ports between Kinbourn Point and Cape Tarkan, including the ports in the Gulf of Perekop, the port of Sebastopol, the ports comprised between Cape Aia and the Strait of Kertch, including those of Yalta, Aloushta, Soudak, Kaffa, or Theodosia. The Port of Kertch, the Strait of Kertch, the entrance to and all the ports in the Sea of Azov, including especially the Ports of Berdiansk, Taganrog, and Arabat ; the River Don, and also the Ports of Anapa and Soujak, were strictly blockaded by a competent force of the Allied Fleets of France and England. ' " That the Ports of Eupatoria, Streltzka, Kamiesh, Kazatch, and Balaklava were, and are, and will remain open and free from all blockade until further notice ; and it is hereby further notified, that all measures authorised by the law of nations, and the respective treaties be tween her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ire land and his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French, and the different Neutral Powers, will be adopted and executed with respect to all vessels which may attempt to violate the said blockade." MB. BLOUNT "EXPLAINING HIMSELF.' On Saturday at the Bow-street Police court, a stou woman, who introduced herself as Mrs. Blount, stated that she had brought Mr. Blount to " explain himself." The husband, after asserting his right to speak first, assured his worship that Mrs. Blount, to whom he had been married ten years, and was still passionately de voted, was labouring under the delusion that he was about to forsake her and his dear children, and to com mit the crime of bigamy. A neighbour had informed her that the banns had been twice up at St. Giles's Church, and, to his astonishment, on going to the vestry with his wife that morning, they had found the state ment perfectly true, although upon his honour he had had nothing to do with it. The name of the lady, as it appeared upon the books, was Mary Ann Stephens. Mr. Henry—Do you know such a person ! Mrs. Blount—Ob, yes, your worship, and that's where it is. I have had cause to suspect him before. (A. laugh.) The husband declared that this insinuation of his wife was altogether unfounded. Miss Stephens was at pre sent ia great distress, and he had merely sympathised with her out of common humanity. Mr. Henry suggested that there m i g ht be another person of the same name as the husband, and the occur rence might be merely a coincidence. The wife , s m ilin g at this suggestion, had no doubt in her own mind that the parties were the F:1111C, upon winch his worship reminded her of the fact that her husband could be in dicted if he married again. The husband inquired if he couldn't have a summons against somebody—the parson, his clerk, or the person who put up the banns— to show cause ? (Laughter.) Mr. Henry said there was no ground for any pro ceedings before him, and, addressing the wife, told her that she ought to be satisfied with the declaration of her husband, that Le had nothing to du with the banns. The Husband— She has no faith in me, your worship, although I am a model husband. I love her, and I love my children, and I show her every farthinr, I earn. I have a nice little business in Rod Lion-street,belerken well, as a greengrocer, and a little property besides— everything to make me happy. The wife said she wanted him to swear to this before the magistrate, and now she was content. The husband and wifo then left in apparent amity. r PRICE SD. THE NAVVIES AT BALAKLAVA. Further accounts from the Crimea speak not only of the railway at a rate that has outstripped the expecta tions founded upon the first hasty survey, but also of the progressive cheerfulness and contentedness of all engaged upon it, and of their daily-growing popularity with the military and civil authorities at Bel:thieve, and all with whom they come in contact at that motley peopled place. Lord Raglan, in particular, as may be inferred from his despatches, regards the enterprise with the greatest favour, and whatever the infrequency of his visits to the camp, Le has inspected the " werks" sufficiently often, and been sufficiently complimen tary in his encomiums upon those engaged upon them, to have rendered himself highly popular with the men. One of the navvies, writing on the 13th, from the "Balaklava Railway Station," says that his lordship came into the town the previous Saturday, "looking first-rate," and having said how pleased he was to see so fine a body of Englishmen so actively occupied on a work of such great value, gave the head of one of the gangs a sovereign to drink his health—an injunction which the unlicensed vintnery of the place soon enabled them to comply with, inasmuch as there are peripa tetiothat time, particularsach an n grog- s h o p s go i n g about in the shape of rum vendors, from whom the desired stimulant is obtain able, often w ith a f ac ility that would render a little curtailm en t o f th e lib er ty o f the subject in antiseptic highly i s ain commendable.ost indispensable, and s in tolerable quantities too, seeing that, according to the unsophisticated writer a ll u d e d to (and his testimony IS corroborated by a thousand witnesses) "the roads are in a frightful state, up to our middl es in mud, and dead horses lying all over the ground and hills ; in summer it will be dreadful." It is to be hoped, however, that before the time shall have arrived for the antici pation here expressed to be realised, that Mr. Raw- Jingo), the engineer to the Sanitary Commission, despatched on the 22d of last month, will have caused the interment of these pest-producing carcases, and will have cleansed the vicinage of the harbour and camp from those accumulations of indescribable feculence which await but the action of the sun to gene rate disorders compared with which the cholera of Bul garia and the dysentery and frost-sores of the Crimea would be innocuous. Hitherto the health of the navvies has been all that could be desired. Not a single case of serious illness has occurred amongst them, and only one accident, a fatal one, through falling down a ship's hatch way. The only grievance they complain of is the dearness of the provisions they have to purchase, butter, for in stance, being 3s. per lb., and only to be obtained on ship board. But objections on this score are diminishing daily; and with the introduction of a little methodical order into the harbour arrangements, the enormous amount of sup plies pouring in from all quarters must speedily secure something like a reasonable tariff. Vegetables continue to be a great desideratum, the prolonged use of salt meat and biscuit superinducing thei development of whatever scor butic virus may be in the men's system. As the season ad vances, this wantbecomesmore urgent, but it does not ap pear to be ministered to with an alacrity proportioned to the necessity. 'We speak now of the soldiery, not of the navvies, One cause of this deficiency is doubtless the bulky and perishable nature of the article, and the fact that mar ket gardening, even on the most circumscribed scale for domestic uses, is still a science in the most ruiimentary stage, not only in the East proper, but within a radius of a thousand miles of Sebastopol. Hence great in terest is attached to the experiments about to be made in Calm's Compressed Vegetables—the ingenious pre paration of a Company at Frankfort, and which has been tried with great success in the French army. All the virtue and flavour of the vegetable, whe ther potato, parsnip, carrot, bean, or other esculent, in its fresh-gathered state, aro retained, but in so concentrated a form that a single pinch suffices for a ration ; while, on being steeped in water for about an hour before boiling, it swells to dimensions not greatly inferior to what the original vegetable itself assumes when served in the ordinary way for table. Some samples of these preparations were taken out from the London agents by the Sanitary Commission alluded to ; and if found to answer as they have done in the case of the French, will doubtless be adopted in both our army and navy, the economy of cost, not less than their ex treme portability, and being always good if kept from damp, strongly enhancing the value they must otherwise possess in the eyes of the authorities. As the huts for the workmen progress, the navvies exercise their prescriptive priority of nomenclature in respect to all temporary structures they have a band in. Thus, of the first five wooden edifices erected, they named the principal one Peto-terrace, the next Preston hall, and so on. Though satisfied themselves with, and satisfying everybody else by, their exertions, these can only be successfully prosecuted by a continuance of means and appliances from England, especially horses, and the wherewithal for keeping them in working cot - intim,. Accordingly, on Friday last, the North f Europe Steam Navigation Company's paddle-ship City of Nor Aich, sailed from Lowestoft with horse.. and 30 drivers, with six weeks' fodder, for Balaklava, an urgent request having been sent for them to work the line, as neither cattle nor food fur their sustenance could be procured there. The order was given on Thursday, the 22d February, and as the Thames at the time was closed dry, all the resources of that company's establish ment at Lowestoft were brought into use. The ship was immediately fitted for horses ; the requisite fodder sent down by rail ; and the ship had sailed in just eight days after the order was ,given, and would have sailed two days earlier, but was delayed to complete repairs in her machinery. The Propeller will also leave in a few days, with a further quantity of foddder, of which it is to be regretted that there is the greatest want in the Crimea, there being no local supply, and apparently no means of creating one nearer than England, for some reason or other not easy to understand. In one of the morning journals of Saturday it was stated that the navvy horses which had already reached Balaklava required rest, having suffered from the bad ventilation of the ship that conveyed them. This is altogether incorrect. The horses were not in the hold at all, as alleged, bnt on the 'tween decks ; and it was wholly impossible that any ship could be better venti lated than was the Levant. But it was natural the horses should require rest after a four weeks' voyage, the greater part of it being a very rough one. In the present instance, the City of Norwich, taking out the horses now despatched, is a paddle-ship constructed ex pressly to carry horses and cattle, having been long en gaged in that species of traffic as carried on between Denmark and England vie the Danish port of Tonging. She has accordingly ample room between decks, is very fast, and well ventilated ; and it is expected she will make a very quick passage. An editorial remark in Friday's Times, reiterating an opinion expressed by some of its correspondents, as to the superiority of a plank-road over a railroad between Balaklava and the camp, has given rise to commentary of of an adverse kind. It is urge that the difference between a railroad and a plank-road is the difference of their bulk in carriage. The plank-road of 20 feet wide would require 50 feet hulk pet yard ; the railroad requires about four feet of bulk per yard. According to this data, it would follow that if it required 10 ships to carry the bulk of material for a railroad of 15 miles long, it would require 100 ships of the same size to carry the plank for the road, supposing the men and animals to occupy the same space in both. It is further urged that a plank road, hastily constructed, as this must be. under any circumstances, and not having the requiste time to " settle" on such a soil as intervenes between the har bour and the heights, and during such weather as has long made that space literally a quagmire ; and considering, moreover, the extreme steepness of ascent for a great part of the distance, would be quite inadequate to sustain the enormous weight of ordnance and ammunition now de manded for the siege. It is the expected facile transit of these, direct from the ships to the batteries, that invests the railway with its peculiar attractiveness in the eyes if those on the spot, whom the want of such az auxiliary has condemned to paralysis and bewilder ment, or at least furnished them with an apparent extenuation for having floundered into the state so universally complained of. How far a plank-road, if commenced when it was found that an ordinary road was impracticable, would have, or ought to have superseded a railroad, it is now, like so many other Ciimean calculations, " too late" to inquire. It is at g least gratifying to know that that undertakin at all the rule of ' p events, forms the one bright exception to general mismanagement in the East ; for, t ,the credit of official routine be it said, that even the most oracu lar exponent of Peninsular pr ecedent admits t hat the • is in all r espects a model of navvy expedition ment and forethought, lacking no one thing for its com pletion but more horses and fodder, and these are being lirnished with the utmost rapidity,—Morning Post. THE MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS. In condemning the great majority of appointments which have been made to the more important offices of Government, since the accession of Lord Palmerston to the Premiership, we have felt it, on various occasions, a duty which we owed alike to justice and to the noble lord, to mention that the worst of these appointments -1 were not his. The obnoxious and unsuitable parries were forced upon him. We stated on Wednesday, that the appointment of Mr. Vernon Smith to the Presidency of the Ikard of Control, with a seat in the Cahiuet—an appointment which has, we say it advisedly, caused a feeling of the strongest indig nation throughout the country —was not male by Lord Palmerston himself, but that it was ti e act of the 'Marquis of Lansdowne. We have now to add that not only has Lord Palmerston had obnoxious persons forced upon him, but that ho has been, to a groat extent, thwarted in his desire awl intention to place in positions of importance men whom he—and the country as well—deemed peculiarly fitted for them. fie not t . ie only did intend, but actually had gone far towards thel execution of his intention—to put Mr. Layard into ure as Under-Secretaryship of War, but Lord Par assigning as Minister at War, objected to the appointment, as the sole reason why he would not the meaning that situation, that " he is not ono of us Layard . of which phrase, we take to be, not a Whig.---Morning Adverting. is that Mr. is hav:111ell Layard in The United States' steamer Atlantie tuts' - Utrued with advises from New York to the 21st ult., and 41,418,000 specie on freight. - • The Baltic arrived at New York on the 21st The Senate has passed a bil, fora railroad fro* the Mississippi to the Pacific by a vote of 24 to'2l. Mr. Cass delivered a long address on the subje,kt of a recent speech by the Earl of Clarendon in the House of Lords in reference to the foreigil polar of England. • r -r Mr. Mason, the chairman of the Committee' on Foreign Relations of the Senate, in reply, said 1:0 was in posssesion of information that Lord Cla rendon, in an unofficial conversation with the American Minister in London, had said that h'e was surprised to find that Mr. Cass had put upon his language such an interpretation, and that his only meaning was that France and England were united in effecting commercial treaties with countries bordering on the River Plate. While conceding to Lord Clarendon the right to interpret his own language, Mr. Mason said lie choose to take a series of expressive' acts, and lie reviewed the course which had recently been pursued at San Juan, the more distant inei • dents which led to the annunci.ation of tke MonrOe doctrine in the interference in the dominions of the King of the Sandwich Islands, and. in addition to those acts which bad been observed in Southern and Central America. Ho then depicted the con dition of the islands in the Gulf of Mexico and the Carribean Sea, and their importance in reference to American commerce, and. particularly spoke of a neighbouring island (St. Domingo), which is divided into two governments. On these people influences had been used to procure results favour. able to European Governments and injurious' to the United States. After a brief conversation the subject dropPed. The President had vetoed the French Spoliation Bill. The Navy Department had issued orders to New York, New Orlians, and Boston, to keep in a state of readiness certain steam-vessels chartered by Government for demand ; it was understood they were to be against a Fillibustering expedition to Cuba. Touching that expedition, the Washington cor respondent of the 1V au York Herald says : " Alverado Hunter is soon expected here to join the Kinney expedition, which has not been knocked on the head by Marcy's manifesto, as many supposed it to be. The Kinney volunteers are willing to risk the outside chances, suspecting, as they do, that after passing by the western end of Cuba, in the Caribbean Sea, they will tack about, turn their backs upon the Mosquito Coast, and make all sail for the eastern end of Cuba, 43 0 miles from Havannah and the body of the Spanish troops. By this movement they count upon a successful landing and such a revolutionary rising as will enable them to march triumphantly from the eastern to the western ex tremity of the island, gathering strength as they go, like a rolling snowball. The Quitman organisation and the Filibustering Juntas in New York and New Orleans are said to be branches of the Kinney expedition which is to pioneer the way. The treasury of the FillibusterA [ at New Orleans, we learn, is able to command at any time a million and a half of money, and that all con cerned are preparing for a terrible surprise to General Concha. You will have perceived that he is alarmed, and is enrolling the Mulattoes, and making all the usual • preparations for repelling an impending invasion. Eng lish and French vessels of war are also mysteriously in creasing at Havannah.and that neighbourhood.", The steam-ship Black Warrior arrived at New Orleans with Havaunah dates to the 15th inst. Great excitement prevailed, and new militia com panies were being formed. The whole island had been declared in a state of siege, and a proclamation had been issued ordering the enlistment of all volunteers between the ages of 18 and 50 who were capable of bearing arms. A military commission had been created . for the eastern part of the island. It was reported that General Concha had sent to Porto Rico for more troops. The British ship of the line Boscawen had left Havannah, and she and the steamer Medea were engaged in conveying troops. The British Rear-Admiral .reviewed the troops with General Concha on the 12th inst. A decree was being enforced prohibiting the sale of firearms and ammhnition. Her Majesty's ships Espieglo and Vestal were in port. The Colossus had left. The British Admi ral was received with great honour. Numerous arrests have been made. Among the arrested were, it is said, the Governors of Matanzas, Puerto Principe, and Trinidad, the private secre tary of General Concha, and the managing director of the Cardenas Railroad. General Concha had issued a warning proclamation against insurrec tionary movements. In the New York stock-market an unfavourable reaction had taken place, chiefly- iu consequence of a speculative movement and a large amout of all descriptions of scurities pressing upon the' market, particularly State and railroad bonds. Money remained at easy rates—uamely, 60 to 90 days' piper, at 6 to 9 per cent. ; and second-class, ditto, at 10 to 12 per cent. per annum ; exchange advanced to 9, at which a considerable business had been effected in bills on London Bills on Paris quoted at sf. 111 c. to sf. 131 c., 60 days. There was an increasing demand for cotton, and prices were firmly maintained. Flour had ad vanced 121-c. per barrel, and wheat 10e. per ,bushel, chiefly Canadian and Genessee.

THE NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTIES BILL. - The bill introduced into Parliament was ob jected to on the following grounds by a meeting of newspaper proprietors, held, at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, last week : " 1. That there is no general or extensive dissatisfac tion with the present law, and that its operation has been to produce a newspaper press of higher character than is found in any other country. " That the penny stamp is fully compensated by the unlimited transmission of newspapers through the post, and, although the post is not used for all news papers, the service rendered is in the aggregate a fair equivalent for the stamp, and tends to equalise the diffusion of information through the whole community. "3. That the bill proposes to remove all securities against libel, or offences against public order and mo• rality. " 4. That the effect of the measure would be to lower the character of the newspaper press in this country by the competition for cheapness, and by the increase , in the number of publications diminishing the means of incurring the large outlay made for every re,peetabf journal ; thus tending in reality not to cheapen but t4' enhance the cost of valuable information. " 5. That it would give such scope for piracy upon the labours and expenses of the better class of news papers as could be met by no possible enforcement of a law of copyright, except such as would inflict far more restraint noon the diffusion of information than is new exercised by the stamp. " 6. That its tendency would therefore be to disable every newspaper from incurring those expenses in pro curing reports and intelligence which have raised the press to its present standard. " 7. That it would tend to produce a set of publica tions addressed only to the lower classes, and appealing in many cases to their worst passions and prejudices ; and in the country districts would limit to small locali tiies the information now diffused through the county, and from B .
