A story has been told of an American Captain who, convinced from certain indications that a complaint would be lodged against him, antici pated the informers by preferring it himself, and thus bec ime entitled to a moiety of the penalties imposed. Lord PALMERSTON practised a dodge of a similar description on Friday evezing. Major REED was put forward as the ostensible complain ant. The Honourable and Gallant Member was like the illustrious BOTTOM, fully prepared "To roar you as gently as any sucking dove." It is true that at one portion of his speech he seemed to disregard his cue, and "to aggravate his voice" in the expectation of inducing the audience to say " Let him roar again, let him roar again." Thus ho at one time, with too much candour, declared that " the country had been woefully de ceived, for the Noble Lord had not moved with the spirit of the times, and had not effected those reforms which were anticipated," and more than hinted that " the party to which the Noble Lord belonged were democrats in opposition, but oligarchs in office ;" while at another, despite these grave imputations, and, as if to prove that like his great prototype, he could " roar as 'twere any nightingale," he professed his anxiety to give the Government his cordial support under the difficult circumstances in which they were placed, " and to enable them to make such a statement as would satisfy the anxiety of the country." It is needless to say that these not over consistent views excited no enthusiasm—elicited no cheers-- that they merely provoked laugh ter. The blundering of the Ministerial MARPL•T materially abridged the intended effect of the Premier's dodge. His candid confession of the Ministerial shortcomings, his "owning the soft impeachment" of the high expectations entertained on his accession to office, which "had overrun the bounds of reasonable and practicable realisation," and his development of the intended changes—we cannot as yet accept them as " ameliorations " were therefore "fiat, stale" and, still worse, " unprofit able." None of his points " told," albeit that he had, for the time being, assumed the " deferential " in place of the "defiant " tone to which he was so much better accustomed. The weekly organ of the Cabinet paid him the ftther left-handed compliment of declaring that he was acting, not talking." It was indeed n ling r but we regret to say that he was by no Tue , ms as much at home in the " heavy" busi ness asfa the more light and sparkling characters he had been acc ustomed to assume. After all , What i s i t such grandil ocmina , _ that he ann ounces w ith n ourishes —au h platitudes.? The contem p lated such pom pous mplated consolidation o f in _which, as t h e Right the military depart ments, Honourable Gentleman the Member for B uc k s t ru ly remarked, there is nettling undl " profoto the other or i g i n al." The abolition of the B„ rd of y Ord. nanc o—which forms no exception boards, in being `wh at Mrs. HALL 'S Irish Wat c h_ man designates as " de s p erate stu pid , '—will un questionably be a great public benefit. But befor e we yield an unconditional acceptance to the propo- talon, we would wish to be satisfied as to the effi clukcY, and still more the independence, of the de- Partriamat to which the power is to be delegated. r The acme Quarda" are not in the odour of THEATRE ROYAL, DRITRY-LANE.- Lessee, Mr. E. T. SMlTH.—Grand Opera, Ballet, and Musical Entertainment.—The great success achieved by Signor and Madame Gassier, and the artistes who have appeared under the recent direc tion of the Royal Opera, has induced Mr. E. T. Smith to enter into arrangements by which he has secured the services, for a limited number of nights, of the eminent artistes who have already appeared, as well as those with whom negotiations were pend ing. Under Mr. Smith's direction the TREATRE will OPER on Wednesd&Y May 16, with the opera LA SONNAMBULA. , Amtna, Madame Gassier ; Rudolph°, Signor Gassier. After the opera a Grand Ballet will be produced, in which Mdlle. Palmyra, the first dansense at the principal ,theatres of the continent, wi n ap p e ar. In addition to the above distinguished vocalists, Mr. E. T. Smith has engaged, at a considerable expense, Madame Arga an d signor Armand', from the principal continental theatres, who eeul make their first appearance in England at this theatre on Thurs day, May 17, in the opera of Norma. In offering such an array of talent to the public at the following reduced prices, and in conse quence of the great leases accruing from issuing free admissions, Mr. Smith is determined to discontinue the practice, and rely solely on the support of the public. Prices of admission :—To the two gal leries, 6d.; second circle of boxes and pit, ls.; dress circle, 2s. 6d. ; Stela, 41.; private boxes to admit two persons, 10s. 6d. ; four per sons, one guinea. To be had at the box-office, from 10 to 6 daisy ; and of the principal librarians and mnsicsellers. Doers open at • half-ptsst 7, and commence at 8 o'clock. THEATRE - ROYAL, DRURY - LANE. - Lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith.—The GREAT DERBY DAY BAL /HANCE, May 23.—Mr. Smith announces to the nobility, gentry, and public this Grand Fete, on a scale of magnitude and expense never before attempted. A superb Salon de Dance of 409 feet in length, embellished and decorated with Illuminated bowers, variegated lamps, and novel devices. Enlarged orchestra, well-appointed Md 9 tens of the Ceremonies, all the new dances, music, Sec., forming a coup erred of attraction and splendour without parallel. Tickets, I Os. 6d. each, to be obtained at the principal musicsellers' and libra rians' ; and at the theatre. Notices have been given in both Houses of Parliament for the purpose of bringing the proceedings at the late Conference at Vienna under discussion. But not, as it might have been supposed, to censure the truckling to " German ism" and " Muscovitism," not to deplore the concession offered by the French and English Plenipotentiaries, under the inspiration of Austria, but to express an opinion " that the propositions made by the Government of Russia, for giving effect to the principle of the Third Article, contain elements for a renewed negotiation, and may offer the means of obtaining an honourable and satis- Factory peace !" And this is a question that will now be seriously ventilated in Parliament, a Noble Lord, and a Right Honourable Gentleman, having suffered themselves to be made the tools of the " peace at-any-price" party, to so great an extent as to put forward such a proposition. Although •we regret the matter for the sake of Lord GREY and Mr. HILNER GIBSON, we cannot but rejoice on pub lic grounds that the opinion of the nation will be clearly elicited, and the delusion so industriously fostered as to the state of public opinion on this all-important question completely dispelled. That delusion has already occasioned a fearful amount of mischief. It exercised no ordinary influence in pro ducing the original aggression and in causing the late CzAR to harden his heart, and perversely re fuse to avail himself of the repeated opportunities offered for the cessation of hostilities. To the Peace Society and to Lord ABERDEEN England owes the formidable War in which she is now engaged. 'Neither, perhaps, could singly have produced the evil ; but between them they con trived to deceive the AUTOCRAT by persuading him that the time had arrived when he could carry his nefarious designs against his inoffensive neighbour into practical operation, without danger of interruption, or anything beyond an unavailing protest from England. Russia still indulges in the hope that she can escape unscathed from the consequences that she had so wantonly provoked. Had it been otherwise, she would gladly haie accepted the proffered conditions ; but, on the contrary, she has attempted to acquire the right of sending her navy into the Bosphorus at her mere will and pleasure, and thus to threaten the throne and authority of the SULTAN at any moment she may think proper—and this, ac cording to Earl GREY and Mr. MILNER GILSON, "contains elements for a renewed negotiation, and may offer the means of obtaining an honour able and satisfactory peace 1" We trust that Parliament and the nation may return suitable answers to the appeals thus made, so that henceforward there may be no possible doubt on the subject. It will not suffice to ne gative the motions ; counter propositions must be brought forward expressing the public opinion on the undue concessions offered, and that if the propositions brought forward by the Western Powers had been unequivocally accepted by Russia, they would not have produced an honour- able or satisfactory peace. Ministers may fancy that these motions afford a loophole for escaping from ,he condemnation which their own timidity so ustly merits. But it is not so. Although they have not fallen into that depth of degradation, have not committed that treason against their country, they have much to answer for, and they must do so at the bar of public opinion. They must be taught that they can no longer temporiae, or wait fur Austria, that they represent, must uloptl anguage becoming the nation tkey a nd exhibit th e energy and determination so urgently required. If they do not so, we must find others -willing to do so. If, as an E ng li s h Monarch once declared, a Cabinet were to be constructed fioin th e first casual passers-by at Charing-cross, we would sooner trust to it than to those so oblivious of their duties as Englitili- ....... u sanctity at this movement. Perhaps there is no branch of the public service in which a large and comprehensive measure of reform is so urgently required, and any alteration that adds to its Authority, without improving its administration, cannot prove very acceptable to the community. Now, Lord PALMERSTON expressly declares him self adverse to any such amelioration. Forgetting that the First Lord of the Admiralty is . almost invariably a civilian, with a seat in the Cabinet, he boldly asserts that it would be "fatal to the character and spirit of the army to commit its dis cipline to a mere citizen" ! HOW then does he justify the arrangements respecting the Admiralty ? Are naval officers less sensitive in their feelings than their military brethren ? Is there not as great a desire for "appreciation" bya competent authority by " blue jackets" as by " red coats ?" And why is there a greater dan g er in the exercise of Mini sterial patronage in the one case than the other ? These are interrogatories that cannot very easily be answered. If the " first Lord" may be a Cabinet Minister, why not the Commander-in- Chief ? The matter is too ridiculous—it will not bear argument. The inconsistency of Lord PAL MERSTON is obvious to the entire community. But there are " wheels within wheels"—an im perium in intperio which constitutes the real impedi ment— the solution of the enigma is not very diffi cult. Lord HARDLNGE is merely the nominal, not the bona fide, Commander-in-Chief. He is but the puppet in the hands of a partially-concealed power, who pulls the strings according to his n ill and pleasure, who at the same time controls the Cabinet and the Horse Guards without the respon sibility attached to either office. A certain Party is the actual Premier, the real Commander-in- Chief. He acts as he thinks proper, and causes the truckling to " Germanism" of which so many well-founded complaints have been preferred. He himself holds a plurality of offices, as well of emo lument as of honour ; while his favourites are cer tain of promotion, as "any suggestion on his part is equivalent to a command." The Colo nelcies to which the highest pay was attached as a reward for the most brilliant services is held by one who never saw a shot fired in battle. Everything, in fact, that he could take he has monopolised to himself ; and, in addition to these substantial honours, he controls alike the Cabinet and the Horse Guards. His influence is paramount in Downing-street, and yet he evades the responsibility. This is not as it should be. There should be a more constitutional system in operation. The great popularity of Lord PAL MERSTON was occasioned by his supposed antagonism to this objectionable practice. But now that he has openly assumed the COBURG livery—has become more subservient even than " the dear and excellent" ABERDEEN himself, he must expect a similar fate to his pre decessor. He now strives to stave off the the evil day—but in vain. He has had a fair trial and failed egregiously, has been " weighed in the balance and found wanting," and he must now give place to a more independent, if not a more talented Minister. Whoever is to be Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief, let him openly assume the offices, and then the people of Great Britain will know what they have to provide. Better that he do these things directly than indirectly, fairly and above board than under shelter of a Ministerial or military puppet. it, a claim for Church Rates on a poor cottager has au ugly look with it not at all consonant with the obligations•. of a National Church'; but an attempt to enforce such a claim, when the money, whether owing to conscientious scruples or to poverty, is not forthcoming, is really shocking— every religious feeling is outraged by it ; and yet such an attempt at enforcement took place in this instance. The churchwarden got two magistrates to issue a warrant of distress on the recusant cot tager for the fifteenpence ; and—let the reader mark it—ien shillings more for the churchwarden as " his reasonable costs and charges." The war rant was executed, goods valued at thirty-five shillings were seized and carried off and sold. The account then ran : Rate Churchwarden's costs los. Od. Constable's charges 7s. 6d. Total lBs. 9d. Goods sold for lBs. Od. Deficiency Os. 9d. Thirty-five shillings worth of goods seized and sold for an unrighteous claim of fifteenpence— and Mother Church gains sixpence, and the victim is still ninepence in debt. We don't mean to say anything against the Churchwarden. No doubt he followed the dictates of an elevated nature--far removed from pity, or any other little weakness of humanity, or had never an old coat in his wardrobe to pawn for the occasion. But we really have . something to say to the Bench of Bishops. We would ask their Right Reverend Lordships if this is quite ';,he sort of thing, the toleration of which can add dignity to the lawn and stability to the Establishment t Passing hopelessly from them, we would appeal on higher considerations to good men of all creeds, and say—ls it not your duty to put a stop to such proceedings —proceed ings that sap all respect for religion in the minds of the masses, which become cognisant of them, and convert what should be a powerful engine of morality into a deadly and wide-spread snare ? Thirty-five shillings worth of goods seized and sold for a rate of fifteenpence, and the poor cot tager whose modest dwelling has been gutted— still 9d. in debt. A fatality surely attends the Establishment. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland have arrived n Paris, and alighted at the HOtel, Bristol, Place Yen lOme. The Marquis of Abercorn, Colonel of the Donegal Re giment, has resigned, and the Marquis of Conyngham, Lieutenant-Colonel, has been appointed Colonel, the [lon. Major Clements to be Lieutenant-Colonel, and Captain Todd to be Major. A deputation from Lambeth, co ns i s ti ng of Mr. W. Williams, M.P., Mr. T. P. Murrougb, M.P., M essrs. Stratton (churchwarden), Robert Taylor, Charles Evans, Fredk. Doulton, Chas. Barker, and Amos Cane, had an interview with Sir George Grey, on Friday, at the Home Office. men. The nation will not be cajoled or hum bugged any longer. It requires the service of men aware of what is required at their hands, and with firmness and resolution to discharge their duty despite of any interference. We will not have " Muscovitism" or " Germanism" —no, nor " Coburgism "—prevalent in the National Councils. The nation requires truly English Ministers, and that it will have at any price, or under any circumstances. Although not indiffe rent to other matters, we feel that the paramount consideration at present is the energetic and manly conduct of the War, until "an honour able and manly peace be conquered," and to that all other subjects must, for the time being, give place. Some time ago we strongly urged the import-• ante of opening at once the Sulina mouth of the Danube. We are glad to see that one of the morn ing journals has at length taken up the subject in connection with the exclusive power at present enjoyed by the Allies in the Black Sea. It will not be long before harvest again waves on the plains of the unhappy Danubian pro vinces—a smaller one probably than in years of peace, for Russian barbarities and Aus trian brutalities, and the absorption of seed corn, perhaps, by the two classes of invaders, may have prevented the sowing of as much land as usual. Still, beyond doubt, tkere will be' a large surplus on the rich and extensive plains lying on both sides of the Danube. Why should not we and all Europe have the benefit of this supply ? It may also be of great value to our Commissariat in the East ; whether we winter our troops in the Crimea (which we hope smaller numbers will suffice for before autumn) in Bessarabia, or in Turkey, the free navigation of the Danube will b e a grea t commissariat adYan tage to us. The object is fully worth all the gun-boats re quired. Under their protection, lighters might load the larger vessels as they already do, and those of lighter draft perform the whole voyage. The batteries at the Sulina mouth are already de stroyed, nor is there anything that we remember which could resist our gun-boats, either afloat or ashore, from Galatz to the Black Sea. Steam dredges might also, under the same protection, commence removing the mud at once. Besides the liberation of the Moldavian, Wallachian, and Bulgarian harvests, the clear and undeniable opening of the Danube would be like the absolute control of the Black Sea, and the re-conquest of the Provinces ; it would be a third point wrested from Russia, which at any other conference she could again be told was wrested from her already, and could never be re stored. M. DROWYN DE L'E[l7YS' principle is of wide application, and deeply it is to be regretted that so able a statesman should have been the first practically to renounce it. The Allies have annihilated Russian ships of war in the Black Sea; they must be forbidden to exist there again. In like manner we must now take possession of the mouths of the Danube, and never again ask the leave of Russia to keep them open. Either we underrate the patience of the coun try, or the Established Church overrates it. While every governmental organisation may be said to tremble in anticipation of an overhauling--re trench its arrogance, and mitigate the offensive ness of its pretensions--while every other religious ministry devotes its best energies and employs its most persuasive arts to conciliate the goodwill of of the masses, and thereby conduce to their moral welfare—the State Church—the Church whose claim to be deemed the People's Church, is the most effective in securing its toleration as an establishment, the Church that is endowed with wealth such as no other Church throughout the entire world possesses in any corresponding de gree, must advance its most offensive claims, and outrage humanity, and common sense, by the persecution of indu4rious individuals, for the recovery of amounts too small to be re fused save for conscience' sake! Does the Estab • lishment think this is to be permitted to go on? Just let our readers take the following case as an illustration of what we mean. It is by no means the only one, nor the worst we have heard of during the last year ; but it is the latest that has come before us, and on that account we have selected it. The scene is in Cornwall ; the victim, a cottager ; the sum sought, fifteenpence ; and the claim for Church Rates. Now, on the face of DISBANDING THE MILITIA TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the militia news in your paper of last evening I observed that the 3d Royal Surrey Regiment, number ing 400 men, is to-be disbanded after twenty-one days' training. Is it possible at a moment like the present, when so much difficulty is found in raising men, that Government having a number of men under arms can contemplate their dismissal ?—I am, sir, your obedient servant, AN ANXIOUS OBSERVER. Kingston-on-Thames, May 12. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. - The Italian Opera season recommences here on Wed nesday under the direction of Mr. E. T. Smith, who really seems to be the only man who can do anything with this theatre. From the extensive arrangements made, and the numerous engagements still pending, the enterprising lessee seems determined that nothing shall be wanting on his part to insure the public an opportunity of hear ing some of the finest Italian singers at moderate prices. Mr. Smith has been wise to make ballet a prominent feature in his programme, and in orc'er to give due effect to it the services of Madlle. Palmyra, have been engaged as premiere danseuse. 'We wish the lessee success in his new undertaking. WOODIN'S OLIO OF ODDITIES. On Saturday evening Mr. Woedin appeared at the Polygraphic Hall, King William-street Strand, in a new entertainment, which, from the success that attended its first representation, bids fair to rival in attraction his celebrated "Carpet Bag and Sketch Book." The Olio of Oddities consists mainly of materials collected during a tour in the romantic lake districts of England. The first part of the new entertainment opens with an embo diment of one of those " animated sandwiches" who are to be met with in all ourleading therougbfaras, and concludes with an impersonation of M:ss Clara Chattaway. The last portrait is, wMout exception, the " great part" of the entertainment. Admirable as was the portrait of Mrs. Mugglee in his first entertainment, Clara Chattaway of the present one eclipses it. Among the half-portraits, the inveterate smell-least, Mr. Gustavus Gabbleton, the sweep, and the policeman, are the most graphic. A t the conclusion of the entertainment the applause was im mense, and Mr. Woodin may fully calculate upon re peating his Olio a thousand and one nights. The hall was crowded to suffocation. NEW MUSIC. "HURRAH ! FOR THE NOBLE ALLIANCE." Words by Eliza Cook. Music by G. H. Chapman. Musical Bouquet Office, 192, High Holborn. " Patriotic songs" have sprung up like mush rooms of late, and many have essayed the produc tions without possessing any qualification for the task. We admit that it is difficult to feel the glow of national inspiration essential to a battle lyric when our nation has degraded its name by a most questionable system of war government, and the noblest blood of our country has been as recklessly poured out and wasted as rich wine at the board of drivelling revellers. It is not congenial to a con scientious poet to sing the glory of a fight of which the chief purposes appear to be the exercise of poli tical craft and the indulgence of juggling procras tination—a fight which has hitherto conferred ex pense, anxiety, and excitement on the English people, without adding in the sli g ht es t d egree to their olden character for energy, decision, and in tegrity. We repeat that a genuine poet shrinks from attempting a " patriotic song" under such circumstances, and the most that can be expected in such a composition is mere harmony of construc tion, preserving as much modesty as can be afforded by writers who have been accustomed from infancy to the burthens of "Hearts of Oak" and "Rule Britannia." The s on g before u s i s we ll worthy of notice, as being destitute of exaggerated platitudes. It is simple, yet earnest ; while the music is ad mirably appropriate, with the inspiring addition of a well -arranged chorus. We have heard "Hurrah ! for the Noble Alliance" sung with great effect, and we cordially recommend it to all our musical readers. TBE FINE ARTS. We have received the second portfolio of Colnaghis' series of lithographic incidents and scenes at the seat of war, to which we drew attention in some detail on the occasion of the first publication. These in every respect maintain the high class character of their predecessors, and fully realise the assurance of the spirited publisher that they should be faithful and accurate, from sketches taken expressly for the pirpose by an eminent artist on the spot, as well as executed in the very beet style of art. The present issue depicts, in a most vivid and striking manner, some of the perils, as well as difficulties, with which our brave soldiers have been suir , unded in the course of the Crimean struggle, and amongst them is shown the never-to-be-forgotten and heroic charge of the light cavalry on the plain of Balaklava, and accounts •at a glance for the terrible slaughter - With which that brilliant achievement was attended. There is also that miserable road from the harbour to the camp, wheel deep in mud and filth, the sight of which creates genuine wonder as to how heavy guns and loads of supplies were ever conveyed over— or more prop , rly through—it ; whilst it at the same time affords forcible proof of the killing nature of this duty. Besides these, there is a view of the Field of Inkerman, a Quiet Day in the Diamond Battery, including a portrait of a Lancaster 68-pounder, the Camp of the Naval Brigade before Se bastopol, the Embarkation of the Sick, and other scenes and incidents of an interesting nature. THE BATTLE OF THE ALMA. We had the pleasure, on Saturday, of being present at the private view of a magnificent and noble picture delineative of this memorable and glorious action, now exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. It is the work of M. Coc mans, an eminent artist of the Belgian school, who, we believe, has been honoured by the patronage of the Court in that kingdom, and is un doubtedly an effort well worthy of so great a subject. The painting is of extraordinary dimensions, being no less than 26 feet by 20 feet ; and this extended surface has afforded the artist the Inost ample scope for the dis play of his manipulative talent, whilst it has at the same time enabled him to produce a remarkable breadth of cffect. In order to obtain an accurate representation of the spot, as well as a faithful description of the battle itself, M. Coomans proceeded to the East last year, with special recommendations to the allied Generals and officers of their respective staff, by whom he was not only cordially received, but was materially aided in the prosecution of the object of his journey. The scene se lected is from the centre of the English army at the moment of the brilliant and vigorous charge of the Guards P,tthe heights. The principal object in the rugged foreground is the figure of Lord Raglan, mounted on a splendid white charger, surrounded by his staff; and bis lordship, whilst cheering on the men at that exciting juncture, appears undisturbed by a shell then exploding at his feet ; and this coolness and indifference to, the danger around him elicited the expressed admira tion of poor Marshal St. Arnaud. All the personages introduced in this portion of the picture are life size, and their portraits were, by their permission, taken from life. That of Lord Raglan is said to be admirable. In the middle plan the English battalions are mounting the steeps iu firm and unbroken order, notwithstanding the nature of the ground, and a shower of shot and shell from the Russian batteries above them ; whilst in the distance are seen the French and Turkish troops, and the combined fleets close in shore playing a most destruc tive fire of shell upon the enemy's position. The whole is life-like in the extreme, and carries away the mind with the impression of the fearful reality of the scene. The thorough artistic skill manifested in every part of the work confirms the deservedly high reputation of M. Coomans, as a painter, and we heartily wish him success in its behalf. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY.—The Wellesley, Indiaman, and Northumberland, American liner, arrived at Spit head this evening to embark passengers and stores. CRYSTAL PALACE. —Her Majesty the Queen accom panied by Prince Albert, the Duke o f S axe C.Thurg Gotha, an d th e Princess of Hohenlohe Langenhurg, paid a lengthened visit to the Crystal Palace on Satur day. Her Majesty's party went over the whole of the building, and made purchases, in the industrial depart ment, of a mosa i c table by Mr: Stevens, a series of lithographs by Day and Son, a Croydon basket carriage by Mr. Lenney, medals by Mr. Pinches, &c. They also went into the grounds as far as the lower reservoir, the geological restorations, and antediluvian animals. The Hon. Miss Stanley, the Hon. Miss Byng, General Buckley, and Captain Du Plat were in attendance on her Majesty, and the Baron de Treskow and M. Samwer on the Duke of Saxe Coburg. It is the intention of Lord Palmerston, Lord Claren don, Lord John Russell, the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and oth er Mi nisters, to celebrate her Majesty's birth-day on Saturday next by State banquets. The Prime Minister will entertain about twenty-six members of the Legislature, The Chancellor of the Exchequer's party will number about twenty-five. The Home and Foreign Secretaries will, it is expected, each be more numerous. All the guests will appear, in honour of the day, in full Court costume. TESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE LORD DUDLEY STUART,— On Friday there was a meeting of the committee re cently appointed to promote a testimonial to the late Lord Dudley Stuart; Mr. R. M. Milner in the chair, Several suggestions were made as to the most appropriate testimonial to be adopted, but ultimately it was decided that the most suitable one would be a charitable insti tution bearing the noble lord's name. It was stated that the electors of Marylebone would be generally disposed to contribute towards the foundation of such a charity. A resolution was unanimously carried that the funds should be applied in establishing an independent charit able institution, if sufficient for this purpose, but, if in sufficient, the committee should again deliberate respect ing their application, and a sub-committee was appointed to collect subscriptions.

It is rumoured that Austria is on the point of proclaiming her neutrality, together with that of all Germany. But the truth of the rumour is greatly doubted. VIENNA, SATURDAY, MAY 12. There is a talk of the Western Powers having raised their pretensions, by way of answering the last Russian propositions. VIENNA, MONDAY MORNING. The formal rejection of the last propositions made by Austria arrived here on Saturday. People speak of counter-propositions, but if such there be, they can only refer to the future policy of Austria. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The following private telegraphic despatches were received yesterday : " VIENNA, 12th.—Letters from Sebastopol state that a great part of the allied fleets, with troops on board, passed Yalta on the 4th, steering towards Anapa." " MADRID, 11th.—The nomination of the successor of the Minister of Spain at Washington, M. Cueto, has been postponed until after the arrival of the next mail from the Havannah." The Court of Cassation, in its sitting of Saturday afternoon, rejected the appeal of Pianori against the sentence of death passed upon him by the Court of Assizes of the Seine for his attempt against the Emperor's life. The appeal was sup ported on behalf of Pianori by M. Delaborde, and opposed by M. de Glos and the Procureur-General M. de Royer. Owing to the great number of English now in Paris, a new Evangelical chapel is to be opened from Sunday next, in the Cour des Coches, No. 30, Rue du Faubourg St. Honore. Divine service is to commence at 12 o'clock. BOURSE, MAY 12.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. C.

A letter from Odessa, in the Cologne Gazette, says : " We learn from Sebastopol that the arsenal, the ma gazines, and ail the important edifices of that town, have been undermined by order of General Osten-Sacken; also that preparations have been made for destroying the fleet." The Journal de St. Petersbourg announces that, by the order of the Emperor Alexander, the Court of Russia has gone into mourning for ten days, on the occasion of the death of the Archduchess Maria Dorothy, widow of the Archduke Joseph, and for five days on the occasion of the death of the here ditary Princess Charlotte of Sixe-Meiningen, a Prussian Princess by birth. A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Borsenhalle of Hamburg, states that the company of maritime aisurances for the White Sea, formed in 1848, has been oldliged to wind up its affairs, in consequence of the blockade of last year. THE DANUBE. A letter from Galatz, of the 26th ult., in the Corriere Italiano of Vienna, says :—" Yesterday evening the consulates of Sweden and Norway, Holland, Naples, and the Haase Towns receeived a despatch from General Luders, dated from Kischeneff, the 19th, notifying that the Emperor Alexander, from motives of equity, J extended, WAR DEPARTMENT, MAY 12, 9 P.M.

The following despatch has been received here from St. Petersburg, dated the 11th inst. : Prince Gortschakoff, under date of the 6th of May, writes : Between the sth and 6th the enemy increased their batteries and strengthened their approaches against Bastion No. 5. The fire of the enemy was especially directed against Bastions 4 and 5, and against the Seling- Musk and Voihynia Redoubts, to which we suc cessfully replied. Between the 3d and 4th the enemy sprung two mines, with a view to regain their old entonnoirs. We worked against them with different counter- On the night between the 4th and sth we made a small sortie, and took an English officer and During the last few days three of the enemy's powder magazines have blown up. On the evening of the Ist of May the greater portion of the enemy's fleet stood out to sea, it is said with 10,000 to 15,000 troops on board. On the 2d it was seen sailing past Yalta it is believed in the direction of the coast of Anapa. A French squadron, consisting of the Tourville, carrying the flag of Admiral Penaud Duquesne, and Austerlitz, line-of-battle ships, and the cor vette d'Assas, passed the Bett this morning.

This despatch of the Russian Gene ral is a reply to a request presented on 2d April by these consulates to be informed relative to the navigation'of the Lower Danube." The _Austrian Gazette contains a letter from Galatz, which states that on Ist May there had ar rived there not less than 400 vessels, of which 120 were Austrian. The permission accorded by Russia to all neutral vessels to navigate the Danube, on condition of carrying their cargoes to neutral ports only, has led the latter States to a great trade in corn in the principalities. General' Coronini ha-st just proceeded (says a Vienna letter in thc, Breslau Gazette) from Bucha rest to the baths of Mehadia. General Kinnacin, who is also at that place, was last week struck with apoplexy, which places his life in danger. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna of the Bth, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" The departure of Baron de Hess is still uncertain. The imperial decree on the new levy has been communicated to the Minister of the Interior, who is taking the necessary steps for its execution. It is generally supposed that this body of troops will amount to within 80,000 or 100,000 men. Another decree is spoken of, which is to raise the income tax 1 per cent. The greater part of the 3d division stationed in Styria has been call€d ti Vienna, while nearly the whole garrison of Vienna has left for Gallicia. The 6th division, under Prince Lichtenstein, which was cantoned at Udine and Treviso, has received orders to stop in Styria, and wait for further orders. It is believed that it will be sent to Transylvania, part of the troops there being ordered to Moldavia." A letter from Vienna of the Gth, in the Post Ampt Gazette, says :—" Travellers from Kalarasch state that 12,000 Bulgarians are now employed in the fortifications of Silistria. The telegraph from Varna to Rustchuck is terminated, with the ex ception of the crossing the Danube near the latter town, which operation presents some difficulty. English agents have demanded 1,000 oxen of the first quality, and 540,000 okas of barley, to be de livered in the ports of Mangalia, Baltchick, and Varna, for the English army. _-- The last detachment of the Austrian troops quartered in Tuscany, consisting of a battali o n o f chasseurs and a squ a d ron of hussars, left Florence on the 6th. The Grand Duke and the Princes accompanied the officers a part of the way. M. de Bismarck-Sehonhausen, the Prussian re presentative at the Diet, left Frankfort on the 10th by an express train for Berlin, having been sum moned thither by his Government. The Legislature of the Canton of Ticino, elected according to the new constitution, assembled for the first time at Bellinzona on the 7th. SPORTING NOTES. BITS ABOUT BATH - . Turfites will be busily employed during the current week. The squaring of Derby books alone will occupy no little of their attention, whilst the races at Bath will be sufficiently important to excite their curiosity and oc casion brisk speculation. Last year important move ments were made on the "Heights of Lansdowne" in reference to the Derby ; it was there that the downfall of Autocrat and King Tom from their pride of place in the betting was effected, and although similar demonstra tions are not likely to be made this year, yet the tone of the market with respect to certain animals will doubtless undergo many significant changes. These considerations alone will render the Bath and Somerset County Meet ing peculiarly attractive. The preparations for celebrating the gathering with success have been made on an unusually extensi‘e scale, and several judicious improvements and alterations have been effected on the course and in the Grand Stand and enclosure. The supply of sport is most satisfactory, and if the fields should be numerically small, yet the races will be interesting and important. The Lansdowne Stakes is, the first item on paper. Nineteen horses have been weighted for it ; and among them figures the name of Benhams, who is deemed a "likely-outsider" for the Derby. Should his owner entertain expectations of his chance i❑ the great Epsom encounter, he will perhaps reserve him entirely for that event, and for this stake allow Saucebox to represent his interest. Cat'spaw, Master Horton, and " Mr. Parr's colours" I shall ex pect to see prominent in the van. Oulston will, perhaps, be again brought out to do battle for the Biennial Stakes, and he will eoubtlt ss re peat his last year's achievement. His performance, too, will be regarded with considerable interest from the effect which it is likely to produce on St. Hubert's position in the Derby betting. Should anything inter fere, however, with Oulston's success, Polydore, who has a 31bs. allowance, will perhaps place the stake to his owner's account. For the Fourth Biennial Slakes I shall select Wandering Willie and Stork. The number of starters for the Somersetshire Stakes is not likely to exceed a dozen or fifteen. The most probable. competitors are— Age st lb Rataplan Little Harry 6 8 5 Defiance 5 8 3 Types 5 7 13 Hercules (inc. 7l extra) 4 7 1 Pantomime St. Andrew The improved racing ability which Typee displayed at Chester, the present " luck " of her stabie, and her un questionably favourable weight, have contributed t r ad vance her to the position of first favourite, and to render her steady in the market. Still, doubts are entertained of her staying qualities, and experienced judges are of opinion that the severity of the course will effectually destroy her chance. This opinion is certainly worthy of attention ; still, considering the moderate character of the competitors that she will meet, I am not inclined to allow it to diminish whatever confidence I may place in Typee. Her most formidable opponents will be Little Harry, Hercules, St. Andrew, Cock Pheasant, Mishap, and Whalebone. The "absolute winner " will, in my opinion, be either st lb Newbold 4 6 11. C )ek Phea.-ant 5 6 8 Whalebone 5 6 2 Guorkab klishap Crown Pigeon 3 5 10 Limbs'-wool 3 5 8 LITTLE HARRY OR TYPEE. Could I calculate with certainty upon a start I should be inclined to make a venture with Cock Pheasant for a " cobkboat." For the Members Plate the most noteworthy names are Vingt-un, Pyrois, and Matilda; Talfourd and Jona thau Martin shall do battle for me for the City Cup. Vinot-ul, The Cropper, and See Clear I shall select from the 32 nominations for the Dyrham Park Stakes. I shall not touch upon the other events. " WHEN DID IT HAPPEN ?" The game which was played with Habena caused the facetious members of the ring to ask this question repeatedly during the early part of the week at Newmarket. The proper answ;.r to it would, perhaps, be—at forty minutes past three of Wednesday afternoon, for at that time Habena was declared not to start for the Oaks. The alleged cause of her withdrawal is an enlargement of one of the sinews of the leg, consequent upon an injury which she received in the race for the One Thousand Guineas. This is the explanation given in a weekly- paper, which is generally considered the Admiral's " organ." The fact, however, that Habena was allowed to "remain in" until the ring was thoroughly "drained," and that it was impossible to get another sixpence out of her at any price, cannot be explained away by arguments or state ments, however plausibly framed. If the assertions which are unhesitatingly made by the Newmarket people be true—for they declare that Habena is sound and well—the ducal maxim of a man's having a right to do what he likes with his own has, with respect to this mare, been acted upon with an unscrupulous disregard of public opinion. Still I can scarcely share the gene rally-expressed belief that the scratching of Habena is solely attributable to money-getting inot,ves. May 14. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT BATH.--(This Day.)
