THE PENINSULAR MAILS. f 0111.° and go;ty, Illor are , , 0 0. so. SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 14. I By the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, Captain Cook, with the above mails, in charge of Lieutenant Griffiths, R. N., Admiralty agent, we have dates from Gib- I raltar, April 3 ; Cadiz, 4 ; Lisbon, 9 ; Oporto, 10 ; Vigo, 11. The Madrid brings in all 55 passengers, among whom are 13 of the General Screw Company's ill fated steam-ship Natal. There is not the slightest . hope of saving the vessel. She lies broken nearly in half, and almost full of water. The freight of the Madrid consists of two package* of specie, valued at 4 60 1 ., 420 c h es t s oranges , one f quarter-cask of wine, 34 boxes of potatoes, 55 cases of eggs, 29 cases of dates, and 20 packages of ge neral merchandise. During her homeward voyage the Madrid ex perienced, from Giln altar to Vigo, strong northe r ly gales, and from Vigo to Southampton fine weather. In her course up Channel she was delayed 2d inst.eda abort time, owing to a very dense fog. On the she obsPrved the English bark Ada, of Scarborough, steering thro ug h th e Straits of Gibraltar. On the 9th passed the English screw-steamer IgnTagus. ez de Castro, f rom Gl asgow , s t eam i ng up the April 12, in latit u d e 45.33 N. l ong itude 7.28 W., spoke th e screw transport Jarrow, No. 28, steering south. On th e same d ay, i n l a tit u d e 45.49 N., longitude 7.20 W., observed the Royal Mail steam ship Great Western, with the Brazilian mails, steering to the southward. There is no additional political news by this ar rival, it having been anticipated by the Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Solent, which reached Southampton on the 12th inst. The French steam sloop Newton was at anchor in the Tagus, also the English transport steamers London, from Ports mouth, and Recruit, from Plymouth, which had put in for coals, bound for the Crimea. The Ig ' nez de Castro steamer, from Glasgow , arrived at Lisbon early on t h e 9th. Bills on London ' had been very scarce upon the Lisbon Exchange, and money remained over at 54i for three months, but would be supplied with the Brazilian bills, arrived by the Solent. Paris has been done at 526 to 524, and other quotations were nominal, viz. :—Am sterdam, 43 ; Hamburg, 48R ; and Genoa, 520. Portuguese Three per Cents. were at 39i to 41 ; and Bank of Portugal Shares in demand at 75 to 70 milreis, discount upon 500 milreis ; Oporto Bank Shares, to 121 per cent. premium ; and Lisbon Bank notes, 21 per cent. discount. The Lisbon merchants, who shipped general car gow by the Vrouw Houwina, for Hamburg, in conjunction with Mr. Sholtz's saltpetre, had re ceived advice from Paris that the ship and general cargo had been ordered to be released upon the ground that the saltpetre did not am oun t t o three fourths of the total value. The Imperial Prize Court had allowed the owners of the 970 bags of saltpetre 15 days for the preparation of their de fence against its confiscation. GREAT WESTERN COALS.—Best, 245. Beeclia ` ton.

Serpentine, Victoria-gate, to Great Western also the Prefect of Paris should honour this country b.. such a mark of their united sympathy and regard for th British nation. The telegraphic despatch says : " The Prefect of the Seine presents his most earnest compliments to his lordship. He will be the only one of his family to visit London ; but he will be accompanied by four members of the Municipal Council, and will probably arrive in the course of Monday. As regards the banquet, lie places himself at the disposal of his lord ship for appointing the day that will be most convenient for the corporation of London. Two persons of his administration who left to-lay, in order to regulate everything relating to the journey and to the residence of the deputation from Paris, will present themselves to his lordship to-morrow morning. Those gentlemen have just arrived, and I have placed the Mansion-house at their disposal for the use of the Prefect and his suite. (Cheers.) It was then referred to the general purposes committee to see that the state rooms at the Mansion-house were properly fitted up, and handsomely decorated, previous to their occupation by the Prefect, and also to procure suitable apartments in the City for the use of the mem bers of the Municipal Council during their visit. The general purposes committee immediately retired to an adjoining room, and made arrangements for the purpose of carrying out the resolution of the court. Sir J. Musgrove here took the chair as locum, tenens for the Lord Mayor, whose attendance was required at Whitehall, for the purpose of making arrangements connected with the approaching visit of the Emperor of the French. It hi understood that the Prefect cf the Seine will at , rive at the Mansion-house in the course of this afternoon, accompanied by MM.

He is attended by Lord Alfred Paget, chief equerry and clerk marshal to her Majesty ; Major-General the Hon.

W a y, station superin tendent. Yesterday afternoon sixteen saddle-horses for the especial use of the Emperor and Empress of the French, during their sojourn at the Castle, arrived by the Great Western Railway, and were taken forthwith to the Royal Mews in St. Alban's-street. The whole of the animals of the English breed, of the finest symmetry, far exceeding in value and appearance the average of the royal stud, and have been purchased, from time to time, by the agents of the Emperor, in this country. It is not a little remarkable that the charger upon which the Emperor Louis Napoleon will ride was rejected by the authorities belonging to our Master of the Horse's Department, but is now acknowledged to be one of the finest animals in Europe. The Empress Eugenie's saddle-horse is a beautiful chestnut, and the calsarisons of both are purple and gold, most splendidly and expen sively executed. The horses were accompanied by 27 grooms, and the public will have an opportunity of seeing the whole cortege at the forthcoming review in the Great Park. _ _ Catalogues may be had at the Ordnance Office, Pall-mall; Tower of London; and Abe Royal Arsena:, Woo.wich.

The alteration of the intentions of the Emperor to embark at Calais instead of Boulogne, as may readily be imagined, has filled the Calais people with intense satis faction and delight. As a matter of safety and convenience there can be no question that at this time of the year; and under the prevalence of boisterous winds, the port of Calais offers far greater facilities and security for a comfortable pas sage to England, and the facts adduced in favour of Calais were too self-evident not to be adopted. It was not really believed that the Emperor would come to Calais till late last night, although the French men-of-war had come round from Boulogne to Calais har bour ; but it was no sooner understood than French in genuity was set to worlc i ^d: French enthusiasm has by this time given — Ate 4 ;old Ic - svn a holiday appearance. Triumphal arches are thrown across the ports, and now cover the road over which their Imperial Majesties pro ceed to Dessin's Hotel, and from almost every window waves the beautiful tricolor. The railway station has been magnificently fitted up in the most tasteful manner. Soldiers guard every entrance, and the wary officials watch eagerly the telegraphic announcements of the progress of the Royal pair from Paris. It is not yet determined in which vessel the Emperor arid Empress will cross the Channel. The Austerlitz, 100 guns, screw two-decker ; d'As=as, screw corvette ; a heavy frigate ; and a smaller vessel of war, have arrived in the roads, whilst the Corse, screw ; Peterel, paddle ; Cocyte, paddle • Pelican, screw, all French vessels of war, are alongside the quays and harbour. In the lat ter vessel come preparations have been made for the re ception of the Emperor, but from the fact that Captain Smithett has just arrived here in the pew beautiful pad le wheel French mail steam-packet Empress, with in structions to place himself under the orders of Admiral Chabannes, to pilot the Emperor to Dover, it is generally believed that their Majesties will seleet the Empress for the occasion. At all events she is to be kept ready. The French Court left Paris at 1 p.m. this day, and is expected here at 8.30. As wa have stated, the Bri tish ambassador, Lord Cowley, Earl Glanville the Mar quis and Marchioness of Ely, Lord Alfred Paget, &c., will accompany their Majesties, and I believe will em bark with them to-morrow at eleven o'clock. , m.__....______ 4 GNETIO TELEGRAPH.

The visitors at Dover to-day were very soon made conscious of the near approach of some great event, by the crowds assembled iu the streets, the variety of militia uniforms, giving to the chief of the Cinque Ports quit the air of a ennum.v.r.i terne, - aind tao signs of ceremonial preparation actively going on in every quarter. Otrt in -the roads Sir Thomas Cochrane's noble fleet rode placidly at anobor, the Great Neptune, the model of a line-of battle ship, being proudly conspicuous, while several steamers, including the Admiralty yacht, filled up the marine picture. A great number of visitors have already come over from France, and their general report is that at Calais the excitement quite equals the ferment on this side of the water. According to the various accounts, the good people of the Pas de Calais gratefully acknow ledge the compliment paid to their Emperor, and not the less freely that their port has been selected for the em barkation of the imperial party. Boulogne had been originally spoken of, and the inhabitants of that pleasant and half-English town are highly indignant at the change of arrangement, which was not believed until yesterday, when the arrival of twenty-seven immense fourgons, filled with baggage, at Calais, put an end to all doubt and speculation. During the two past days pleasure seekers have been perpetually passing back wards and forwards between the two ports • and every one on his or her return bears testimony to the immense satisfaction displayed by the French people at the approaching royal meeting. Several notabilities have arrived, amongst whom we noticed the Marquis of Londonderry, Marquis of Ely, the Lords of the Admiralty, Lord and Lady Calthorpe, Countess Kissileff, and a whole host of titled personages, British and foreign, whose names we were net able to ascertain. Sir Robert Peel arrived early, and shortly after went on board the Black Eagle, ac companied by his secretary, who unfortunately met with an accident in gel.ting on board. Having slipped his foot, he would have fallen into the water' ut his fall was arrested by the Herculean grasp of a jolly tar, who, however, saved his life at the expense of dislocating his shoulder. The great centre of attraction is, of course, the Lord Warden Hotel, which is to be the Emperor's resting place on his arrival, and where he is to be met and welcomed to England by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. It is at this moment quite besieged, not only by applicants for accommodation, but by the inhabitants of i he town, anxious to get a glimpse of the imperial apart ments. This spacious establishment, the property of the South-Eastern Paitway Company, has been entirely re modelled and fitted up for the occasion. Immediately on Mr. Hake's return from Windsor, where he was sum moned t i receive the commands of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, he commissioned Mr. Chaffin, of Oxford street, and, although the time (from Wednesday morn ing to Saturday morning) was extremely limited, the latter has succeeded in producing a magnificently fur nished suite of apartments. As everything connected with the imperial visit is looked for with great interest, the following details of the interior arrangements of the hotel will no doubt be acceptable. His Royal Highness Prince Albert's bedroom is on the right land of great western corridor, next the e grand staircase, and is massively and handsomely fur nished in mshoeeny eleet. Th e dressing-room adjoining is furnished en suite, the principal feature in these rooms being the substantial quality of the articles, and the good taste exhibited in their style and arrangement. The whole suite of rooms right and left of the western corridor -from his Royal High ness's apartments to the sea front of the hotel, are appropriated to the different members of the suite. The three grand state rooms overlooking the sea, and forming the whole front of the hotel on that side, have been entirely refurnished with a suite of richly-carved walnut, inlaid with marqueterie, and mounted with or molu ; the chairs, settees, lounges, and centre pieces being all of novel and tasteful designs, and covered with the richest crimson satin trimmed with gold. The first room entering from his royal highness's side of the establishment is appropriated to his royal highness's own use, and is fitted as an elegant drawing-room. Next to it is the centre room of the suite, which is fitted as a saloon, and beyond is the drawing-room appropriated to the Emperor and Empress of the French, and which is in every respect identical with that of his royal highness with the exception of the Prince of Wale's plume, which in his royal highness's apartment is placed over the giratidole between the windows. The tables in these rooms are of various elegant shapes—the writing tables especially, which are covered with crimson Morocco leather, elaborately yet chastely gilt ; while the greatest care has been taken to match everything, even to the blotting books, which are identical with the tops of the -arious tables on which they they lie. The rich velvet sofa, Axminster carpets, and table covers are also exact matches, and the lace curtains are of the richest em broidery. These three rooms are so arranged that the sliding doors, being drawn together, each is a complete and detached chamber in itself. Next to the state rooms, on the right side of the east corridor, is the dressing room of the Empress, which is superbly furnished era suite with the state rooms, with the addition of the toilet, which is shaped and covered with crimson satin overlaid with lace, the flounce being of pure Mechlin, the mirrors are richly gilt and elaborately carved. Next in order is the Emperor's dressing-room, which is fur nished with every requisite, and is also en suite,the furni ture being of fine carved walnut, with crimson satin coverings trimmed with gold. All the apartments on this side right and left of the corridor beyond the dressing rooms are appropriated to the suite in attendance on their Majesties. The large apartments right and left of the grand staircase on this floor are appropriated to the Grand Master of the Em press's Household, the ladies of honour in attendance, and to Lord Cowley. The coffee room on the ground floor, a large and haroleolue saloon, has bern appropriated to the dejeuner, and fitted with a raised dais, on which their Majesties and his royal highness will receive the address of the corporate body. Tile floral decorations here, as else where, are abundant and tasteful, and reflect great credit on Mr. Epps, from whose various establishments at Ashford, Maidstone, &c , the flowers and shrubs have been forwarded, the whole being arranged under his own personal superintendunce. It will be seen by the above description that all proper pains have been taken for the worthy reception of our illustrious visitors. The railway station has been most t tstefully decorated, under the direction of Mr. Way, the station-ma=ter, being quite covered with festoons of laurels, trophies of various flags, and the gay tricolor in every possible form of application. A large gallery has been boarded off, from which such of the, inhabitants as have been able to procure tickets will obtain a very tran sitory sight of the royal party as it passe to the car riages. Tire Lords of the Admiralty applied to-day for a passage to town in the train, dhonneur, but as yet have not received a favourable answer to their application. The Emperor and Empress are expected to arrive at about half-past eleven, and, as soon as they have re freshed themselves, will be waited on, in the grand saloon, by the Mayor and Corporation, who propose presenting a suitable address. Every preparation is being made to give effect to the visit of the Emperor of the French and his amiable con sort. The friendly feeling that exists between the two roost powerful nations upon earth cannot be too much appreciated. In honour of such auspicious occasion, the c ommander-in -chief of the port of Portsmouth has taken up a position off Dover, to do honour to the visit of our gallant ally. Sir Thomas Cochrane, with his flag at the fore of the Neptune, has placed the squadron under his direction, moored in two lines, consisting of the fol lowing British ships of war. The outer line from north- east : Orion Neptune l2O Calcutta 7B Powerful Flag. The inner division — Odin Centaur r •• 6 Pylades Phoenix Cruiser Harrier Falcon Ariel 9 The above ships are moored so as to allow the Empe ror of the French to pass between the two lines, and to receive salutes therefrom prior to his landing. The Sealark, Rolla, Fire Queen, Vivid, and Sprightly take up intermediate positions. The Queen and Sprightly have rendered important service today, in assisting the ships' boats to recover their respective ships. There has been a heavy sea or the whole day, and but for the assistance thus rendered man y a boat must have drifted out to sea. The lam folks have been equally busy to give a hearty welcome to the best Monarch that ever commanded the desti nies of France. England and Englishmen unite with heart and soul in ARRIVAL OF TITEIR IMPERIAL MAJESTIES AT CALMS. CALMS, SUNDAY, 9.20 P. sf. The Emperor and Empress of the French arrived here at a quarter to nine o'clock this evening, and proceeded from the railway terminus to Dessin's Hotel in an open carriage. They were greeted with the most enthusiastic acclamations. PREPARATIONS IN ENGLAND. The greatest activity prevailed yesterday (Sunday) at the Bricklayers' Arms station of the South-Eastern Railway amongst the various men employed in fitting out and decorating the place in a manner to do full hon our to the visit oft wo such great and distinguished per sonages as the Emperor and Empress of the French. The whole of the station was yesterday re coloured in distemper. A spacious platf .rm, 12 or 13 feet wide, has been laid down, which is covered with crimson baize, over which their Imperial Majesties, his Royal High. ness Prince Albert, and their distinguished suite are to pass. A raised row of seats on the right-hand side of the entrance has been erected sufficiently commodious to accommodate from 800 to 1,000 persons. The different windows at the side of the platform have been beauti fully Vandyked with red and white bunting. The fronts of the gallery and the sittings have been similarly decorated, whilst from the roof of the station a variety of splendid flags, representing the colours of all nations, except that of Russia, have been suspended. These have been furnished by the Board of Ordnance and Mr. B. Edgington, of Duke-street, Borough. A canopy of chaste construction has been thrown over the entrance, to be surmounted by the national standard and other flags, from the last-named establishment. The inhabitants living in the immediate vicinity of the station commenced to decorate the front of their houses. From the front of Mr. Harris's premises were suspended the Royal arms of England and one of Mr. B. Edgington's flags, with the inscription, " Welcome the Emperor and Empress." The inhabitants are in expectation of reaping a boun tiful harvest by the visit of the distinguishei Emperor, and during yesterday seats were letting freely in the various houses, both public and private, at sums varying from 58. to 10s. each person. It is the intention of many of the great tradesmen in Londcn to have triumphal flags thrown over the entire width of the carriage ways through which the proces sion will pais ; and it is not unlikely that the railway arch over the Westminster-bridge-road will be decorated on the occasicn. The arrangements of police., under the direction of Sir R. Mayne, are most perfect ; and if the populace• will only act upon the advice given them, no accidents need , be apprehended. The P division, ender Mr. Superin tendent Lund, ill have command of the road in front of the railway station and down a certain portion of the route, where they will be joined by Mr. Superintendent Haynes and a powerful body of the M division. At the corner of the Elephant and Castle Mr. Superintendent Evans and a body of the L division will protect the thoroughihre ; and after passing over Westminster bridge, Mr. Superintendent Gibbs, of the B division, with a strong muster of the A division, will take charge of the road. Considerable numbers from other distant divisions will also be placed on duty on the entire line of the procession, which, together with the military, is thought amply sufficient to keep the many thousand spectators expected to be present out of danger. It was stated yesterday at the railway terminus that the Royal train would arrive at the Bricklayers' Arms about four o'clock. The most exact arrangements have been made by the authorities of the South• Eastern Railway for the safe and quick passage of the Imperial visitors to London.

A n LONDON ROUTE OF THE IMPERIAL CORTEGE. At the Bricklayers' Arms station, where the Emperor and Empress will leave the South-Eastern Railway, the most extensive preparations have been made for their recepton. Along the corridor through which their Majesties will pass from the line to their car riages have been erected a series of elegantly arranged seats, covered with crimson cloth, calculated to accom modate nearly L5OO persons. From thence an awning has been constructed in the area in front of the station, at which the carriages will be drawn up. On the arrival of the train their Imperial Majesties will be received by the chairman, deputy chairman, and directors of the South-Eastern Company. The train will be under the conduct of Captain Barlow, the general manager, and Captain Cudworth, the superintendent of the locomotive department. The whole of the arrangements at the -.Winn were yesterday afternoon inspected by Mr. Weatherhead, the superintendent of the railway police. Vast crowds were throughout the day assembled around the station, and the greatest excitement prevailed. In all houses commanding a view of the entrance to the station preparations are in progr ess f or the erec tion o 'eats, while in several instanc es cons id era ble p rices have been paid for such accommodation. e ri ni The route for to-day from the B r ich ri ll o e a r cip Railway Station is as follows :—New gent-road, St• Charing pa -c r r; corner, North jrnaminseteerstrrideget,e, In the course of yesterday a company of Rifles ar rived, by the South Western Railway, from Ports mouth, and were shortly afterwards followed by 160 rank and file of the Foot Guards, made up from what remains of the battalions of the three regiments. The fine band of the Grenadier Guards is expected to morrow. In the afternoon 70 of the metronolitan po lice, under the direction of Inspectors Banks and Walker, arrived, and will remain here until the departure at the Court. - At seven o'clock this evening, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Lord Alfred Paget, Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey, and Col nel Francis Hugh Seymour, departed by the South-Western Railway far Dover. there to meet and welcome the illus trious visitors. The Prince was received on the platform by Mr. Crombie, the secretary of the company. The mayor has given notice that barriers will be erected in Thames-street near the entrance to the Great Western Railway station tomorrow, and that no carriage or other vehicle will be allowed to pass, except those proceeding to the Castle, until after the cortege has passed through the town. On Tuesday there will be a special meet of her Ma jesty's stag hounds, at which the Emperor and Empress of the French, as well as her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, will be present. The meet will take place at Slough or Salt-hill. The workmen employed in the construction of the triumphal arches will recommence their labours imme diately after twelve o'clock to-night, in order that the whole may be completed and in perfect order before the arrival of the Emperor and Empress. At the terminus of the Great Western Railway, im mediately opposite the station, the first object that will meet the eyes of the illustrious visitors will be "Wel come to England," surrounded with laurel. As they emerge from the Queen's waiting-room and enter the royal carriages, a guard of honour will present arms. The triumphal arch in Castle-street has now assumed so magnificent and elegant an appearance that the fol lowing description of it may not be unacceptable. It is 40 feet wide and 50 feet high, divided into three parts, the centre arch being 35 feet high, and 20 feet wide. There is an arch on each side 14 feet high and six feet wide, for the accommodation of foot passengers. The panels are being filled in with insignia of the Orders of the Garter and the Thistle. The upper portion is frmed of wreath and scroll, supporting the Imperial Crown and Eagle of France, and will be decorated with standards of England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia, the spaces being filled in with crescents. In the centre wiil be a wreath and riband. with the word " Welcome," writ ten on the latter. The whole of the arch will be deco• rated with variegated lamps and evergreens. The arch at the entrance to the Great Western Railway Station will be smaller, but equally beautiful. At the terminus of the South-Western Railway there will be a brilliant illumination, under the superintend ence of Mr. Madigan, the station-master. The station is precisely opposite, and in full view of the apartments to be occupied by the imperial visitors, who will take their departure, on Thursday next, by the South-Western line for London. The luggage belonging to the Emperor and Empress arrived by the South Western Railway at half•past six o'clock this evening, under the charge of two couriers. The packages occnpied six of the imperial vans, which were conveyed to the Castle by post-horses. PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK. On Tuesday there will be a review in Windsor Park, and a grand banquet at the Castle in the evening. On Wednesday there will be an investiture of the Garter, and afterwards a grand banquet, at which seve ral of the knights of that illustrious order, and their ladies, with the great officers of State, will be present. On Thursday the Emperor will take his departurefrorn Windsor by the South Western Railway for Bucking ham Palace, where he will receive the corps diploma tique, after which he will proceed to the Guildhall to receive the address of the corpor Ilion and the freedom. of the City. He will return by Cheapside, Fleet-street, Strand, Pall-mall East, Regent-street, Piccadilly, to Hyde-park-corner, and Constitution-hill. In the even ing their Majesties will accompany the Queen to the Royal Italian Opera. On the Friday they will accompany the Queen to the Crystal Palace at Norwood. In the evening there will he a grand party, ball, and concert at Buckingham Palace. And nn Saturday the illustrious visitors will take their departure for France. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.-THE IMPERIAL VISIT. The arrangements at the Crystal Palace for the re ception of her Majesty and her imperial guests on Fri day next are in rapid progress, and will, when com pleted, be in every way worthy of the occasion. Sir Joseph Paxton and his numerous staff are indefatigable —fresh walks are being prepared, trophies erected, orchestras arranges, and handsome balconies are in course of construction. A magnificent suite of recep• tion-rooms has sprung into existence at the Queen 's entrance, almost as if by magic, doing infinite credit to the taste and judgment of Mr. Crace, to whom their 'preparation has been entrusted, and to the liberality r I the directors. They consist of one magnificent saloon for the royal and imperial visitors, handsome reception-rooms for the suite, and dressing•room replete with every toilette luxury for the ladies. We have seldom seen a handsomer interior than that presented by the royal saloon. The decorations are of the Renaissance period, resplendent in gold and colour, relieved on a dark chocolate ground, and having the centre of the ceiling painted in a high style of art. The tables, chairs, and mirrors are of pro• portionate magnificence, and cannot fail te meet the ap proval of our illustrious visitors. The apartments for the equerries and dames d'hortneur are plainer in their decorations, but still extremely elegant, and the boudoirs have been arranged more with a view to convenience and utility than decorative effect. In the large space recently occupied as an experimental picture gallery a luxurious buffet will be spread, capable of entertaining sixty or seventy persons, and to which only the royal and imperial party, the more distinguished members of the respective suites, and the forei;n ambassadors will be admissible. The arrangements for general visitors on the 20th con template only season ticket holders, shareholders, and exhibitors. Te the two latter classes easels of admission will be sent, and the tickets will admit the first -named RS usual. To those of the public who, not being ticket holders, may wish-to be present on the occasion of the imperial visit, tickets for the unexhausted portion of the present year will be issued at the rate of one guinea each, and should the purchasers wish to renew them at the end of the month a further charge of one guinea only will be demanded, so that persons availing themselves of this privilege will be in a slightly better position than those who had taken their tickets at the commence ment. It is expected that the extraordinary interest of the occasion and the reduction in price will create an immense demand for tickets. As may be seen by the advertisements, the grounds will be open from ten in the morning, but the interior of the build ing will be closed to the general public until the royal party have retired to luncheon, when the doors will be thrown open. It is hoped that under these circumstances the public will be their own police, ranging themselves decorously on each side of the nave and transept, in which case every one will be gratified with a sight of our illustrious guests, while the latter will not b e in commoded or annoyed. Proper steps will of course be taken by the authorities to carry out this arrangement, but the friendly co-operation of the public will wonder fully facilitate their success. There will naturally be a lively curiosity on the part of the latter to see the Em peror and Empress, but as the company must be, from the terms of admission, comparatively select, there are many reasons to expect that that curV•ity will in no in stance be permitted to transgress ties bounds of polite ness and good taste. Those who come early will have their patience somewhat taxed, as they will hardly gain admission to the interior before half-past one o'clock, but the basement storey will be thrown open, and amply sup plied with re f res h men t s, under the dire ction experienced of Messrs.

Council USE. was held for the despatch ofmapyticsabiuds—inai Th e Lc)" tlemen, I feel it my duty to inform you that the Prefect of the Seine has sent me a telegraphic communication , stating that by permission of the Emperor of the French he is about to visit your ch i e f m agistrate, and pay a compliment to the corpora- tion of London, and he intends to remain here do, In a t he period of his Imperial Majesty's stay in this country. - (Hear, hear.) It is a peculiar in c ide n t, an d must, I fel assured, be most highly gratifying to every member of this court, that not only the Emperor of the French but Within a few hours from the publication of these lines the Emperor of the French, accompanied by his consort, the Empress Eugenie, will have landed on the shore of England ; and the govereign in whose eventful career the people of this country take an interest not inferior to that which may be felt by his own subjects will be the visitor of our Queen and the guest of this nation. It is understood to be the express wish of the Emperor Napoleon himself that this visit should bear all the marks of a public and national event. With great judg ment and manly feeling he has notified his intention to show himself to the people of England, and to respond in his own person to those demonstrations of hospitality and confidence which are weil calculated not only to do him honour, but to strengthen the principles of the great alliance. Never was there au occasion on which the splendour of the Court—the pomp of ceremony —the chivalrous traditions of an order of knight hood which has been proudly warn by the greatest personages of modern history—the acclamations of the people assembled before the great Palace cf Modern Industry,—and the quaint hospitalities of the first city in the world, could more properly be applied than to give solemnity and magnificence to so extraer dinary a meeting. The character of the personates who a we :are about to receive, and the circemstances of the tine, give an unexampled interest to such an occurrence. It is Lot merely a great potentate like the late Ernpue.r of Russia, or a king like L ,uis Philippe, who professed to cultivate a persot al intimacy with the Queen of Eng land and her family, that the ancient halls of Winds ,r will this day receive. Louis Napoleon returns to this country, elected to supremo power by 8,000,000 of Frenchmen, holding in a steady grasp that sceptre which has so often slipped from the hands of the sagacious and the strong, and using the power of France for purposes , and objects identical with our own. His person, his ' habits, and the incidents of his life are familiar to all of us ; and, though he has sometimes met with stout political opponents among those who were best ac quainted with him, no man who has lived in his inti macy ever withdrew from him his personal regard. The Empress Eugenie, like himself, has mingled in Eng lish society ; she received her education inEngland, and is herself the daughter of an old Scottish house, which connects her mole nearly with the people of Great Britain than if her pedigree was derived from the Haps burgs or tha Bourbons. These personal considerations, however, sink into comparative insignificance when compared with the political alliance of which this meeting is the symbol. Other rulers of France have sought by diplomatic means to establish an alliance between the former rivals of Western Europe ; and the fault was not ours if those combinations did not produce all the results once antici pated from them. Bat the present Emperor of the French has converted this union into an offensive and defensive alliance : he has sent his ships into action at the same instant and in the same cause ; he has con founded the ranks of the two armies, fighting side by side, until it became hard to distinguish the Zouave fi on the Guardsman in the front of battle ; and he has nun- j gled the standards of the two nations ab )ve the same trophies of victory. Hostility, jealousy, rivalry, and prejudice have melted away in the presence of danger and by the light of war ; and the events of the past year have created ties, both personal and national, between the people and the armies of the two nations, which may, we hope, be regarded as indissoluble. At this moment the salutes which are echoed along the Downs and the white cliffs of Dover, in welcome of the Imperial squadron, reverberate in unison with the sullen fire of the lines about Sebastopol ; and the na tional ensigns, profusely mingled on our public buildings, our streets, and our palaces, do but represent those en signs of war which are flying side by side upon French and English vessels in every sea and in every port of the globe. The arrival of our Imperial guests may com plete, but it does not inaugurate the alliance ; for the welcome of London and the festivities of Win d sor were anticipated in a more heroio mood by the joint contests of the Alma and of Inktrinan. The decisive success which will yet, we hope, crown our united efforts is still to come ; but it is no mean harbinger of that triumph that the same union exists in the court as in the camp, among the people and in the army. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort have evinced in the strongest wanner their desire to receive the Emperor and the Empress with every mark of consideration, and to celebrate this visit with the utmost magnificence ; and on such an occasion we did not depart from the usual deference paid in this country to the Crown, by stating that the arrangements have been made under the personal direction of the most illustrious personages in the realm. On their landing—which will take place this morning at Dover, under a salute from the powerful squadron assembled in the Downs under Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane—Prince Albert will receive the Imperial visitors, who will forthwith proceed by the South-Eastern Railway to the station at the Bricklayers' Arms, where they are expected t, arrive soon after four o'clock. Her Majesty's carriages, with an escort, will be in attendance, and the cortege will pass over Westminster-bridge, through Whitehall, Pall-mall, and the Parks, to the Great West ern station at Paddington, whence a special train will convey them t) Windslr. His Ito. perial Majesty appears to have chosen this mode of entering the metropolis with more solemnity than had at first been intended, in order at once to testify that, while he is the guest of the Queen, he throws himself with entire confidence upon the hospitality of the En , - ' lish people. In that confidence we are perfectly assured that he will not be mistaken, for on this side of the Channel we see in the Emperor Napoleon nothing but the representative of France, and a Prince who has cul tivated with the utmost sincerity and energy the alliance of this country. It is true that we glory to afford an indi , criminate shelter and protection to political partisans of every shale and of every land, and that the Emperor of the French may meet in the streets of London with Republicans and ' Royalists, with anarchists and with Princes, who receive in turn that asylum which Prince Louis Napoleon long enjoyed.

The following speech of Count Crvszkowski was delivered in the Second Chamber at Berlin, on the 22d of March last, in order to explain the absten tion from the vote of the Polish deputies on the occasion of the Prussian loan : " Gentlemen,—When last year the question of the loan which occupies us to-day was for the first time laid before ns, all the Polish deputies abstained from giving their vote, influenced in this as much by the motive of the loan itself as by the different amendments that were attached to it, and which one might term projects of ad dress in miniature. This attitude elicited for us at the time numerous praises from one side ; on the other, it was a matter of great surprise ; but, after some time, the pro priety of our conduct was generally acknowledged, not only in this chamber, but also far and wide from this spot. We acted thus, for though we did not wish, by k the refusal of the means absolutely necessary to the state, \to augment the embarrassment of the Government, which found itself already in a very difficult position, still neither did we wish, by a vote of approbation, to ' encourage the policy of the Government in any sense whatever ; fur it was easy to foresee that this policy gave us no assurauoe of any sound and advantageous ' tendency. To-day, gentlemen, a year has run its course since that epoch—a year pregnant with painful events and prodigious hopes--and it is, therefore, our duty to I examine carefully and conscientiously if to-day we ought to act as in the past, or if we are not bound to profit I' by the occasion, were it only to cast down on, votes from I th e heights of this tribune into the balance which con• tains now the de , tinies of the world. Gentlemen, we are never forgetful of our rights, nor the duties of our mission. Therefore, after a conscientious examination, we ac knowledge that our position since last year is altered in nothing, notwithstanding the immense changes that have taken place in the world. The time of our present debate is not a propitious one, inasmuch as no person here can have a clear conviction at this hour whether peace or war will be decided upon. It is permitted to believe, however, that in some measure a sort of basis has been laid down in a protocol relating to this question. Finally, gentlemen, I must declare that not only circumstances tend in the highest degree to make us act as we have resolved, but also we shall find an indication is the position which the Polish nation has effectively kept with so much dignity, of which nation we are an integral portion, as you, gentle. men, are a portion of the great German race. Silence, gentlemen, has its value ; and silence also is eloquent! Well, the Polish nation is quiet., and its representatives are quiet also. This silence is understood and appre ciated--.I daresay it is respected upon the borders of the Neva, as on those of the Seine ; on the Danube, as on the Thames. Should it be only on the borders of the Spree that one knows neither how to understand or ac• knowledge it ? Is there any person here present, amidst the silence of the Poles, who does not recall the words of the great Roman orator--' Quum tacent, clamant.'" (General sensation.)

The young woman was however allowed to turn Queen's evidence, and her mother and the lather of the child were committed for the robbery. They were tried this week, at the South ampton session, and acquitted. The girl's widened broke down, and she now states that her former evidence was false, and she is to be prosecuted for the robbery and for perjury. The youth was told by the Recorder that he left the court without a stain on his character. Paris has recently been unusually full of aristocratic and mercantile visitors. But the war has evidently exi ercised no inconsiderable influence upon . the inventive taste of the Parisians this season, who, by their ingenuity and skilfulness, regulate the fashion of every civilised State. As, however, the hostilities between the adverse nations will, in all probability, be touch more lengthened than was originally .anticipated, the manufacturers of pwloal was c France—whose genius ever kevp e_es pace with their in terest—have not neglected the advantage of being read with their n eedful supplies. This calculation was more especially directed to the production of articles in refer ence to mourning attire ; alai not only France herself, but England, and the ether Powers engaged in the war, have necessarily become extensive purchasers. Especially, then, we would take this opportunity of observing that Messrs. Jay, of Begent-street, have abundantly availed t themselves io procuring selections of such " goods " as are suited to their house of business.
