A bombshell has fallen suddenly in the midst of the torpid and dozey group of gentlemen re presenting the Royal Literary Fund Association. It dropped amongst them—plomb ! and with scarcely a moment's forewarning-3U the after noon of the 14th of this present mouth, and hardly fell before it exploded. NO charitable augur had conjured the unfortunates even by a hint or an innuendo to Thware the idez of March ! Every thing seemed to them, doubtless, to b 3 going on pretty much as usual, just in precisely the same sluggish, idle, dawdling fashion to which the society had become, by the sheer force of habit, regularly accustomed. The annual meeting of the Fund, that is to say, in other words, of its sym pathisers and supporters, was in due course an nounced. The cobwebs were swept out of the Society's Rooms, the shutters were opened for light and the windows for ventilation, and for once the outer-door stood a-jar in Great Rnssell street, Bloomsbury. At the appointed hour the gathering commenced. The members of the Council for the current year were there, but nervous as by a sort of presentiment. The members of the General Committee were there, likewise, but iu numbers so g unusually large as to threaten something that had never, until then, been dreamt of either in the Auditors' or in HORATIO'S philosophy. The venerable Oxford evergreen, with the pe rennial flower blooming, no doubt, as freshly as ever in the accustomed button-hole, was selected as Chairman for the occasion. The accounts were looked over, possibly as it might have seemed to the uninitiated merely pro formd, with all usual languor and habitual negligence. When—the bombshell before mentioned, smoking, hissing, grim, hot, and detonative, was unexpectedly trundled on to the platform. Such dismay and confusion as ensued ! Such desperate efforts to quench the vitality of that horrible missile, laden with the materials of destruction ! Such abortive attempts to "put it out," to " throw it overboard," to kick it under the table as an eyesore' and a nuisance—just as they do night aft& night those bundles of waste-paper, called petitions, in the Commons House of Parliament. All to no pur pose, however,—in spite of that deprecative re mark of Sir R. H. Ixar.lS, " We are following the precident of the Royal Society"—in spite of that gallant assumption of a nonchalance that could not possibly have been felt by Mr. E. Foss, when he inquired so amusingly from the exquisite apposite ness of the query, " Would any reform do us any good r Would it ? The question was answered, juat in the nick of time, too, by the aforesaid lxmas aiell, when it in due course exploded. Such a wholesome explosion as it was, moreover—like that of thunder oa a sultry day—freshening and purifying the whole atmosphere ! Now that the noise of it has been bruited abroad f rom that little clasaic corner of Bloomsbury, we the windows ma y say of the society, as th e B oil windo;rasn of t o s ay of royalty f rom wet e wont the Tuileries —The Literary P Lisitpereaarayt Lon live the Literary Fund ! — T u t: l that is, redivivus, thoroughly reformed and com pletely reorganised. Virtually the Society is, from this moment, already, thus reformed and reorganised. Although nothing more has yet been done th an the appoint ment of a Committee—to consider the propriety of applying for a new Charter or Act of Parliament. But then the manner in which this,really remark able Committee has been constituted, is of itself a sufficient guarantee that its labours will be every thing that could well be desired or expected. Its chairman is the NESTOR of Politicians. Its lead ing members include amongst their number, be sides the accomplished celebrant of TAsso, and the genial biographer of GOLDSMITH, the first lyrist, the first humorist, and the first satirist of -,--,): -; ur7% s o generation, to say nothing of that facile prin.- ,: •; aMOng living men of letters in England— t6\i't,loTEus of prose and poetic fiction—the 4 •-‘ ^--;"14 ' b~l® ‘ ,l4 icilTozi of literature. Otherwise .;\ 4.*=-, 4 "vi j , \ I'4: ~ J !" let us say, in addition to seven fellow-labourers ' not here particularised, though eminent in some way or other, in criticism or in archaeology, the Committee, presided over by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, comprises within it sufficiently ample limits—Dean MILMAN and JOHN FORSTER, BRYAN PROCTER, CHARLES DICKENS, W. M. TIIACKERAY, and Sir E. BaravEn LYTTON. Aware of this, may we not regard ourselves as tolerably well justified in speaking of the Committee as one, so far at least as can be judged by anticipation, admirably calculated to effect all the changes for the better that could be reasonably expected to result from the proposed labour of reform and reorganisation ? What ample reason there has been for this pro jected toil in the way of beneficial innovation has been wonderfully well demonstrated by those " facts and figures" whill show that the clerk at 401. per annum has expanded into the secretary at 2001. per annum—above all, that while from 1844 to 1853, both inclusive, the Artists' Bene volent Fund has relieved 559 applicants at a cost of 9041. 17s. ld., the Royal Literary Fund (upon its old basis) has, within the same interval, relieved merely 429 at the exorbitant cost of just - 5,0941. Os. Id. We might be tempted, out of the full ness of our indignation, to exclaim, after the fashion of Mr. MANTA.LINI—" The penny be demi - fled!" But that our attention is arrested by the voice of the creator of that delightful scapegrace—the voice of our incomparable Boz. We listen as it should well become us whenever he may speak, whether it be f rom hi s own pages or from a public platform in Bloomsbury or elsewhere. Wh a t says M r. D ICKENS in regard Ito that Royal Literary Fund, which is now happily doomed to a complete reconstitution ? What says the resolution he proposed —out of which resolution, by the way, has suddenly started up this beneficent Committee:of Reorgani sation ? It declares the Old Charter of the Fund to he "manifestly absurd, as constituting a body , expressly to be elected from members of the 7,eneral committee, with at least three years ex perience, called a council, to which it confides no powers and no duties, and which never meets, because it cannot be even called together by any authority for any purpose." Sufficiently ridi culous—that--surely. Bat, further—pas3ing over Mr. DICKENS'S facetious account of his own experiences as a member of this same invisible and inscrutable council—let us hear how be sums up the record of its nonentity ! The fact has been, he observes, from first to last, that it (the Council) " never could meet, never did meet, had no place of meeting, and nothing to do—that it was, in short, the only thing in creation without any purpose, end, or object, in existence." No wonder the people laughed at that deliciously exact and ludicrous description—no wonder their laughter broke out into a roar wh©n the most inimitable of Humorists continued, " What would the public say of a board of directors that did not direct, of a bench of judges that did not judge, of a jury that did not deliberate or find a verdict, of a physician appointed never to prescribe, of a surgeon directed never to sot a bone, of a fireman enjoined never to go w ithi n I fifty miles of a fire, or of picked officers of the Humane Society being tied up not to approach the water ?" Yet that is precisely the position in which the Members of the Royal Literary Fund Council have hitherto been situated ! Fortunately so situated they will not be henceforward. They are from this time forth relieved from a position as idle as it has been ridiculous. On Tuesday, the Nestor of the British Senate unsparingly exposed the vacillation, inconsistency, and duplicity of the Prussian Government. Never in his pahniest days was Lord LYNDUURST more impressive and convincing in his arguments, or more lucid in bis arrangement, than in the brilliant oration in which ho detailed the proceed ings of the weathercock KING, and exhibited him in his true colours, not only to the Parliament and People of Great Britain, but to Europe. The shameful tergiversation, the paltry equivocation, and disgraceful timidity displayed from the com mencement of the Russian aggression, proved that NicnoLAs was not mistaken in the confidence which he long since reposed in , the friendly aid and 00-operation of FREDERICK WILLIAM in his onslaughts against the coveted possessions of the sick man. He was not in any manner opposed by Prussia. On the contrary, her attitude, un fettered by any diplomatic obligations, and secretly friendly to the AtrrecnAT, was intended to operate as a powerful check on ether nations, and to in duce them to submit to the dictation of the AUTO-. CHAT, and sanction results which he considered suited to " the honour and dignity of Russia." The well-contrived scheme was happily foiled. The unexpected firmness of the Western Powers —the cordial and friendly alliance entered into, and honourably continued, between France and England—overthrew all these elaborate calcula tions, and once more showed that straightforward integrity and unflinching resolution may be more than a match for the most wily, cunning, and unscrupulous perfidy. The Court of Berlin spared no exertions to insure the complete realisation of the designs of that of St. Petersburg, with a total disregard of its own character and the interests and wishes of its people. It pursued a tortuous and shifting course, which naturally led to its present isolated position and serious depreciation in the scale of nations. That it feels the humiliation and injury it has sustained is indisputable. It would be impossible that it could be otherwise, and the convulsive efforts now made to obtain admission to the Con ferences prove that the sting has penetrated to the very quick. It cannot, however, even yot make up its mind to a complete change of policy. It has been fully informed as to the only means by which it can retrieve its character and position —the " open sesame" by which the Council Chamber can bo made to expand its portals to a Prussian representative. But still it hesitates. It still strives for an unconditional entry without any explanation as to her intentions or policy—. and without entering into any engagement either immediate or prospective—without letting it be known whether she appeared as neutral friend or foe. Under such circumstances there can be but little doubt th a t if a ll owe d to participate i n these negotiations, it would " act in concert with Russia, as her ally—her instrument, almost as her slave ;" would, in fact, so complicate the ques lions und er discussion as to prevent the possibility of a rr i v i ng at any beneficial result. Although Lord C and treacl icr could not so unsparinoly denounce terial positi on, L AMENDON, from his minis the duplicity_ . his. lips were, to a utrtai I Y ti ° " f extent,Prussia—although off i c i a l sea l, he yet Spoke with rescoliouseudolby and e nergy, clearly showing that th e castigation so . rin , ly administered bad been • . iinspa 0 6 richly merited. lf he could not join in the onslaught, to stand forward i n he undo no effort defenc e • and, by permitting judgment to go in default, h e established the validity of the accusations as fully as' if he had admitted it in exp r e ss and utiequivo . cal terms. Nor was this all : for, al t h ou g h g ivi ng expression to a faint hope that Prus',ll.a may yet nt policy adopt a more generous and independe,., THE SUN, LON DON, FRIDAY EVENitfil, MARCH 9.3 isss —that she may . again entitle herself to a‘ respectable position is the comity of nations, he distinctly and unequivocally declared that such a consummation was utterly impossible on any other terms than those already indicated—viz., a frank and explicit avowal of her intentions, and a readiness to undertake the risks incidental to such a course. Prussia cannot hope to be recognised as one of the Great Powers unless determined to act in a manner becoming a Great Power. The option rests with herself, and she is herself the arbiter on the question so deeply affecting her honour and dignity. In all these matters the observations affected the Court and Government only, but not the people of Prussia. Lord LYNDHURST fully exonerated them from all' •connivance in the toituous policy pursued ; and we believe there is but one feeling throughout the country, of unmitigated shame for the conduct of those who ought to have taken a very different part from the commencement. WRECK OF THE STEAM-SHIP EDINBURGH. (By Electric Telegraph.) Mutat 21. The Edinburgh (steamer) has been wrecked near Varna. The crew are saved, but nothing else ; her engines are in 41 fathoms of water. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Last night Mr. Smith took his annual benefit, and the attendance waA everything that euuld be wished. We were much pleased at the appearance of the house, as it was a proof that the exertions of the enterprising lessee had with( r been overlooked nor forgotten by the pablic. The whole of the performances went off with great eclat, and all ap peared highly gratified with the treat Mr. Smith had pre pared for them. The lessee having been loudly called for appeared, and announced the dose of the present season on Saturday next ' and referred briefly to the past performances. Mr. Smith having referred to the success of the pan tomime and the public favour bestowed upon it, came at once to the great event of his late management, the 2iroductiern of Meyerhem's grand opera of L'Etee' du Aord, cud in doing so criticised the critics, aptly enough remarking that ho had a right to do so on Lis own stage as he could not do so in his adversaries' newspapers. We are not so orthodox in our notious, of our rights and position as to say that no reply shall be given to criticism ; on the contrary, we think that nothing: should escape its . ken, and consequently that it should itself be subject to its own principle. Mr. Smith' then 'said he had been prejudged by one writer a fortnight before Ito appeared; and by an other, the Barre chorus and band that had been applauded at the operatic theatre in the neighbouring street, had been condemned when put , on his stage and in his orchestra. Under these circumstances he withdrew a grand and complicated musical work that had run a hundred nights at Paris, and on which he had be stowed a great deal of pains and money, in the hope it word,' have :not similar success here. Justi:,,e had been done him as to the scenery and getting up of the opera; but fault had been found 'with his singers. In •j ustification he specified offers ho had made to the most celebrated in their different lines; but engagements prevented their accepting his terms, and under the circum stances he had engaged the best that could be procared. Ho announced a jive -act play, from Mr. Robson, the an ther of Love and Loyalty, us in preparation after Easter, when, on renewing the season, every effort would be made to deserve a continuance of the extensive public patronage the theatre had re-acquired under his direction. The worthy lessee then retired amidst very hearty applause from hi, numerous friends, who completely filled the the atre. To-morrow, to snit the convenience of those who live " out of the smoke of London," Mr. Smith proposes to give a grand morning performance of the magnificent L'Etolle du Nord, to be followed by other attractions. As this is the last occasion on which it will be represented this season there will undoubtedly be a large attendance ; and it would not bo amiss, to prevent disappointment, to secure a place early. NEW MUSIC. "GIVE i NEITHER POVERTY NOR HYMNS." Miss Uaria Hawkes. F. W. Sabin, Birmingham. This sacred melody, consisting of Hagar's prayer to be guarded from the extremes of want and plenty—a prayer eloquent ag it is brief—cannot fail to attract attention. In the hands of the accomplished authoress the beautif.al words have found an additional charm. In this al in all the compositions of Miss Hawkes there is 5 - o_.h earnestness of feeling and purpose that criticism is at a loss to discover the weak point. Hence we would neither suggest an embellishment nor alter a bar. The charaeter of the arrangement is essentlally and appro priately religious. It is at once evident that the com poser has thoroughly impressed her mind with the nature ' of her theme before venturing upon the opening notes of the prelude. The song before us consists but of the one vu-se, is within the compass of any moderate organ, and may be pronounced a very unique companion to the cbarreing melody of " Ruth." ST. MARTIN'S BALL. Haydn's oratorio of The Creation was performed here last evening to a 'arge audience. The chief -performers were Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves and Mr. Weiss, who all distinguished themselves. Mrs. Sims Reeves was much applauded in the beautiful airs " With verdure clad" and "On mi2l,ty wings." Mr. Sims Reeves was encored in " In native worth," which he sang with great effect and expression. The long duet, which is the chief feature in the third part of the oratorio, was very successfully ren dered by Mrs. Sims Reeves and Mr. Weiss. The chorus, which consisted of the members of Mr. Hullah's Upper Singing School, acquitted itself with credit. The grand choruses of "The Heavens aro telling" and "Achieved is the glorious work" were given with great precision and effect. The hall was well attended, and the arrange ments, as is usual at this ball, were excellent. We are glad to see that Mendelasohn's .Elijah, is announced for representation on the 18th of April.

The inquiry was resumed this morning' at the usual hour. The first witness examined was the Hon. and Rev. Sid ney Godolphin Osborne. In reply to the Chairman, he stated that he went cut to Scutari 'on hie oe'vn account, having letters of introduction from Mr. Sidney Herbert and Lord Clarendon. There were only two Chaplains there, and he (lit. Osborne) acted as assistant. He believed that nothing could be worse than the state of the general hospital at Beutari, and he could scarcely consider it an hospital in the condition in which he found it. There was. no systeM, and they were short of a large proportion of everything that was wanted for the commonest necessaries. As regarded medicines, the chaplain was taken ill with cholera at dinner; it was proposed to give him one of the simplest draughts, but there was no drugs for making IL Dr. Smith told him he could get no prepared chalk for the patients in his ward. Amongst the sargical requirements there wore no spirits to be found when wanted for a Russian prisoner whose leg had been shattered. Ha had conversed with Dr. M`Gregor on tho state of the hospital, and -told him that he was supplying Miss Nightingale with everything from the Times fund. Miss Nightingale having come out under the auspices of the Secretary at War, Mr. Macdonald, at the request •f Mies Nightin gale, put a notice in the Tina?, stating that there was a want of linen ; but ho did not know th It lint was wanted. He oould not rase , that ho saw it was wanted by the patients in the hospital. Ho was asked to obtain sponges for ope rations. He used to call upon Miss Nightingale every day iu order to ascertain what she wanted, in order that she might communicate with Mr. Macdonald. Miss Nightingale requested him to get her some sponges, she having only two ; and he sub equently sent her some. There were no operating tables in the hospital, and he and the surgeon had to assist the rick patients in their arms during tho performance of the opcietione. He made objection to all the medical officers, but until the last the operations were performed in the ward. Subsequently tan officers' tables, which shook very much, were used for the purpose of operations. There being, no head or system in the • hospital he could expect no discipline, and these were wanting at Scutari.- A larger staff and an efficient responsible head were wanting. There was present a military officer, the commandant, Major Selery, who was head of the hospital. That gentleman did his best ; 'but, taking such a crowded mess cf wounded without beds, as, for example, after the battle of Inkerman--everything which was material end physical was short-handed. Alter Inkerwan he had to get the sacking off beds, with his coat off, and he assisted in laying out the wounded men. With a want of material like this, with such a gigantic establiehmeet, it would be hard to blame any individual. The Chainnau—Did you see LDrd Stralforcl do Redeliffe at all? Mr. (Morn° replied that he did, and informed him that ho hid seen Dr. Menzies, who said . that nothing was wanted—just as the Secretary at War had said before be left. 2ngl snd—Lthe fact beint that . eyorything was wanted as the battles pf Balaklava and Inkerman were over. He did %not consider tliat,there Was a proper authority in charge of the hospitals there: Dr. Menzies was the nominal head, bat he was a head in a state of suspension. (Laughter.) Dr. Cumming appeared to act as head semttimes, but he was told he had no, authority to act in that capacity. Things became so bad, that he thought the position given Fins by Mr. Sidney Herhest and Lord Clarendon demanded that he should attempt to get it remedied on the spot.. There was no improvement with regard to the transport of the sick before he came away, but knowing the instruc tions given to the Duke of NeWcastle's commissioners he sent to them a letter, in which ho embodied all the grievances existing in the transport ships. The commis sioners arrived two days before himself, but they did not commence operations at once. The commissioners were Dr. Spence, Dr. Cumming, awl Mr. Maxwell, a barrister. Dr. Spence went op to Balaklava in the Prince, and as he was drowned there was some delay in filling his place. They did him (the witness) the honour to ask him if he wosild fill the vacancy, but he declined; at the same time, however, offining to giro the best assistance in his power. The Chairman—Did you see anything of the food sup plied to the patients in the hospital ? Mr. Osborne—He had seen meat served out in a raw state time after time; and he called Dr. l'd.'Gregor's atten tion to he fact. He believed that a great amount of the deaths which took place were occasioned by the irregular iipaps at whiCh the food was supplied, and the imperfect metie in which it was caked. Men who were brought freM the transport ship, who were not fit to walk ten yards, were compelled, from want of stretchers, to walk the whole distance up to the hospital. Ho attributed these and other irregularities to a want of system. The witness was still under examination r; hen this re port was despatched. LIE GREAT BANK _ROBBERY IN AUSTRALIA. APPREHENSION OF GARRETT. The above notorious character, charged with robbing the Vittoria Bank, Melbourne, South Australia, of 14,0001., was yesterday.evening detected by policeman E 111, aided by two City detectives, and, without a struggle on his part, though armed to the teeth, was safely lodged in the St. Giles's station-house. He was only a few days arrived from tha antipodes, and it is supposed by the steam•ship Argo. On being ques tioned as to his residence he denied having any, but the police, who so well watched him, knew otherwise, and found out his lodgings, and in them materials to enable them to have him prosecuted for more than one felony with which he appears to have been suspected previous to leaving the colony. Garrett was a ticket-of-leave man, and it appears made his first essay, after obtaining his liberty, by the determined robbery with which he is now charged. He was brought up this morning at MARLBOROUGH-STREET, on a warrant signed by the Secretary of St* for the Home Department, charged with forcibly entering the Bank of Victoria, Ballarat, on the Bth day of October, 1851, and stealing therefrom 14,3001. sterling, and upwards of 200 oz: of gold dust. After the prisoner was locked up at the station house the following property was found at his lodging : Two credit cheques on Coutts and Co., one for 1,0371. Gs. 3d., and the other for M.; 1301, in gold, a dagger, a knife, two rtvolvers, a cutlass, 4 nuggets of gold, and other valuable articles. The prisoner, it appeared, lodged at No. 15, King-street, Soho, and for his well known desperate character, a constable was ordered to watch him in his cell during the whole of last night. His personal appearance is most formidable ; he stands nearly six feet in height, and a hugs pair of whiskers, and heavy moustache, added greatly to the natural fierceness of his look. He was dressed in a black paletot and lavender trousers, and on his wrists it had been thought necessary to place handcuffs. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution. The pi goner was not defended. In opening the case, the learned gentleman said the pri soner was ono of four persons, the other three of whom are in custody, eau charge of robbing the Victoria Bank in Australia. The four prisoners entered the bank in broad daylight, secured the only two persons in the place, and proceeded to rifle it of its contents. Quin, Maliott, and Bolton were the names of the other men, and the whole of the plan of robbery had been disclosed by Quin, who had turned Queen's evidence. The prisoner arrived in London by the ship Dawaton, having shipped himself on board at Port Jackson. He held in his hand a copy of the deposi• tions,taken before the Melbourne magistrates, the correct ness of which ho should be able •to prove when a witness arrived from Southampton. The course he proposed to follow to-day was only to offer sufficient evidence to induce the magistrate to remand the prisoner. Henry Webb, detective officer of the city police, said he arrested the prisoner at the corner of John-street, Oxford street, last night. On apprehending him he told hint on what he was charged. The arrest took place as follows :—On meeting him in Tottenham-court-read, he said, " How do you do Mr. Garrett." He said " How do you do; I don't re member you." He then toll the prisoner that he was an officer, and held in his hand a warrant for his apprehen sion for a robbery in the Victoria Bank, in October last, and hating hired a cab, he ordered the driver to go the station-house. On arrivi.ng there, the inspector asked if his name was Garrett? He said yes, and on the inspector asking if it was " Henry Garrett," he said, "I suppose so." He (the constable) then asked him where ho lived; he said in Lon don; find on asking him whore, he said, "Oh, t dare say You know." On searching him ho found a dagger, pocket book, and , thirteen pounds in gold s a gold watch and chain, a portrait of a lady, And ft natal cer tificate, in the name of Large, signed by 'Wil liam Crossley, master of the -ship Wellington. He, from priVate infOrmatibn, fdtirid out his lodging in 6oho, haying traced him there several times. (in en tering the apartments occupied by the prisoner, ho there saw a female, who said she was tho priloner's wife, and on searching the rooms he found, amongst other things, a re volver heavily loaded.

NEWS' _LA THE CRIMEA. We have received the following telegraphic despatch from our correspondent at Marseilles:— MARSEILLES, MARCH 22. The Tarnise, which left Constantinople on the 12th of 14Iaroh, has arrived. Despatches for the Government left at 4 p.m. Colonel de Beville had arrived at Constanti- nople, to select a spot for the encampment of 40,000 French troops. No one perished iu the fire at the French hos appeared a most sinister omen, and the letter which gives an account of the event states that the effect on the public mind has been that of great conster nation. pital. B..A.LAKLAVA, MARCH 10. The weather is favourable. Lord Raglan had sent Lord Burghersh to . Sebastopol to announce the death of the Emperor Nicholas. The Russians do not believe it. The French continue to throw rockets into Sebastopol. , The siege-works are advancing. Sickness is on the decrease. The morale of the troops is excellent. On the Bth Omer Pasha sent a messenger with a flag of truce to Prince Radziwill, who commands the Ruisians in that quarter, to announce the death of the Emperor Nicholas. VIENNA, THURSDAY, MARCH 22. In the Conference of yesterday the first point Wa3 definitively settled. Intelligence from Constantinople, of the 15th of March, states that. _the Greek ambassador, Kondurioti, was expected on the morrow. Ali Pa' cha will, it is still thori,ght, proceed to Vienna. Accounts from . 41i.11:.1. - tifa, np ,to the 12th March have been received.. A council of war was held that day. The bombardment has proceeded with greater vigour on the part of the Allies. The death /of Iskender Bey, Count Ilinski, who distinguished himself in a hundred actions when at the head cf the Ottoman cavalry on the Danube, is announced. The death of Prince Monschikoff from the effects of typlits is reported, but requires confirintition. THE VIENNA cOINTFERE NOES. VIEN_NA, MAitolr 19. The following persons of note were present in the Russian chapel while a requiem was yesterday per formed for the late Emperor Nicholas :—Prince Charles Liehtenetsin, the Lord High Steward, by order of his Majesty, the Marshals Prince Win dischgratz and Count Wratislaw, Baron Hess, the Commander-in-Chief of the 3d and 4th armies now standing in Gallicia, Transylvania, and the Danubian Principalities, General Baron Kempen, the chief of the Supreme Police, and the Ministers of Prussia, Saxony, Wurtemberg, and Bavaria. While rest for the soul of the deceased -was be ing implored from the Most High, Count Buol was_ closeted with the Emperor, and between one and two the Representatives of England, France, Austria, Turkey, and Russia were for the third time assembled in the Council Chamber at the " Staatskanzlei," the residence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. As you are aware, the first of the Four Points was discussed dur ing the first Conference; at the second, which took place on the 17th, the protocol was examined, revised, and, probably, " paraphed" (a diplomatic expression, which signifies that the contents of a document having been agreed to, a sign manual is made on the margin). A fair copy of the corrected protocol was made during the night of Saturday, the 17th, and on the following day (yes terday) it was signed by all the members of the Conference. The original plan of action has been somewhat modified, and the details, as well as the fundamental principles of each of the points, will Le discussed and settled before that next following will be meddled with.. Although the first protocol was signed yesterday, the first point is not com pletely-settled, and some matters connected with the future position of the Danubian Principalities will be taken into consideration during the Confer ence which is now (at 2 o'clock) being held. The world will naturally be desirous to learn what gua rantees have been obtained from Russia that she will not, when a favourable opportunity presents itself, again seize the two fertile Danubian pro vinces as a " material guarantee ;" but it is likely that a considerable time will elapse be fore the [contents of the various protocols become known. Reliable information has to-day been given me that the chances in favour of peace have considerably increased, and it is evi dent that such is really the case, as the first point is almost settled. It is probable that the second point—the free navigation of the Danube—will be entered into at the next Conference, and it is not likely to present any insurmountable difficulties. When you hear from me that the third point—that relative to the Black Sea—has been definitely settled, you may safely conclude that peace is not far dis tant, but not until then. RUSSIA. The Invalicle Busse, gives an account of an en counter which took place on the 30thjan. between the Russian and Turkish troops on the Tra,nscau casian frontiers, near the bridge of Tcholok, in which the former are declared to have had the ,ad vantage, having expelled the Turks .from an en trenched camp and destroyed it. Au imperial ukase of the 7th appoints the Grand Duke Constantine to the head of the Ministry of Marine and at the same time to the command of the fleet, as Grand Admiral. He is to preserve all his other functions. A letter from St. Petersburg,. 12th, says:— " The funeral of the Emperor took place yesterday. At daybreak an extraordinary movement was observable in the capital—people hastening to secure plaCes to wit ness the procession. In some houses, width were well situated, windows were let far as much. as 100 roubles (the rouble is something over 4f.) At 9 o'clock in the ' morning, the first salvo of artillery, fired from the caa del of St. Petersburg, intimated to the public that the ceremony was about to commence. At ten o'clock, a second salvo was fired to announce that the cortege was to form itself in the order fixed by Clunt Gurjow, Pre sident of tl.• Commission for the funeral ' • and at eleven o'clock a third salvo alinouacei that the funeral corte g e had commenced its march. I cannot describe to you the anxiety of the people to render the last homage to him whom they were accustomed to consider as a demi god, and as, at a later period, charged by the Divinity to combat or the holy orthodox religion and holy Russia. Everywhere, as the body passed, the spectators made the sign of the cross, and most of them, when they knelt down, touched the earth with their forehead, weeping bitterly. At the different churches the procession halted, and the various ranks of the clergy paid homage to the ashes of the chief of the Orthdox Russ;an Church. Prayers for 'Divine mercy to the soul of the deceased were offered up in every place of worship, and Nicholas himself was called on as the chief of the church to addrega prayers to God to give force to Russia to combat with success for her rights and her territory. Cannon continued to fire until the coffin reached the cathedral of Paul and Peter. The service fur the dead of the Greco-Russian Church was then celebrated, and salvos, fired by the teelet, neinoeneed the end of the ceremony. The evening tV a i far advanced ihfora the ceer,vds of people who bad assembled to witness the ceremony, ceased to fill the streets. In addition to the thunder of artillery, the roll of the thufled drams, and the sound of military music .playing funeral niarahera was to be heard. The death of the Czar has produced a, certain degree of agitation, wbich our Government, autocratic as it ie, has not been able to prevent. The ceremony displayed a character of magnificence and grandeur worthy of the deceased Czar. Everything passed eff iu good order. The Em peror Alexander afterwards addressed this letter to the military governor of the capital :—' Profoundly moved at the circumstance of all classes of our capital of St. Petersburg keying taken such a sincere part in our elm mon sorrow, in the funeral cortdec..• of the remains of our father and benefactor, for ever memorable, from the Winter Palace to 'the cathedral of Peter and Paul, I charge you to testify to the inhabitants of the capital our lively gratitude both of ourselves and of our beloved wire. May the remembrance of the lather of all of us, the Emperor Nicholas 1., be for ever preserved in our hearts.' " ALE/La:ME/1 " A grave event has just occurred at Moscow. The large bell of the tower Ivan - Velik , in the ' 'Kremlin, felt to th6 - ground at the . moment when the ceremony of s wearing allegiance and fidelity to the new Emperor was going on, and by its fall crushed nearly a hundred - persous. For a people so superstitious as the Russians this clisaste; has ODESSA. Metter from Odessa of the 6th, in the klilitary Gazette 'of Vienna, says :—" Tho Governor General Annenlidf has been again summoned to Ris.clieneff to take part in the military conferences which are being held at that place, and at which Count Adlerbero- fills the functions of Imperial Commis sioner. .As Bessarabia and the Government of Cherson may become the theatre of . war, our Go-, - vernor has a voice in the Council. The subject of discussion is the measures of defence which may be necessary in those countries. All the ,passages (. - -.Ter . the frontier are being destroyed, and the whole country between the Pruth and the Dniestor is being devastated. Entrenchments have been thrown up in the most important positions. The 'distribution of arms to the inhabitants in the in .terior of Russia has commenced, the supply having been taken from the arsenals of MOW and Press Litewski. Thirty-six pieces of artillery arrived at Perekop on the Ist, and were at once directed on Eupatoria." POLAND. . A letter from Posen, of the 16th, in the Post, Amt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" The kingdom of Poland is so full of soldiers at this moment that the smallest canton in the country is not without its garrison. As the troops, however, are incessantly in movement, and as they are marching in equal numbers both towards the north and the south, it is impossible to know their exact farce, or whether they are proceeding to the theatre 'of war or not. It in' probable that tho Russian .Government has more particularly in view to keep a close sratcli en the kingdom, and to prevent any attempt at in surrection, fot the events which are taking 'place have caused great agitation in Poland, and given birth to many hopes. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, March 22.—The motion for presenting ai.i address to the King, censuring the Ministerial policy on the Eastern queation, MIS rejected to-day in the Second Chamber, A prolongation of the cr,:dit4 for the expenses of the present year was voted. A letter from Berlin of the 19th, in the Coloct j as Cazette, says :--" A new circular, datod the 17th, has, it i 3 said, been addressed by the Prussian Go vernment, to its representatives at the German Ceurt3, - and is said to - be ; conneeied with the fact of M. do Prokesch • beinr , appointed to the Presi den's the Diet.' A note, which arrived thy hero y,ister from the Russian Cabinet, renews •the' expression'ef the pacific views and intentions Empetor'Ale:kander 11., - who 'hag declared himself in favour 'of a peace honoUraoe to parties." A letter from Berlin, of the,l9th • says :—"• At a rather late hour the evening before fast despatches arrived at the same time from Count d.',Arniin at Vienna and from General Wedell at Paris, which w< re considered of sufficient importance by M. de Manteuffel, the President of the Council, to induce him to postpone his departure for Th•esd.en, in order that he might hold a Council of Ministers, and concert with his colleagues as to the answers to be given to those despatches. I, however, learn that the proposed conference between the Kings of Prussia - and, Saxony took place at Dresden, not withstanding the'absence of M. de Manteuffel." The King and Queen of Prussia returned on the 19th to the chateau of Chariottenbourg from Dresden. A letter from Stuttgardt of the 19th says : "The .King the day before yesterday gave an audience to Count de - Nesselrode, Russian Coun cillor of State and Chamberlain, who has come from St. Petersburg to deliver to his Majesty the notification of the death of the Emperor Nicholas and the accession of the Emperor Alexander 11. AUSTRIA. It appears that the opening of the conferences at Vienna was formally announced to the various Austrian Ministers at the German Courts by a cir cular despatch of the 14th. According to the Post Ampt Gazette of 'Frankfort, they have been charged to express the confidence of the Imperial Cabinet in the desired result—a confidence arising from the fact, that all the members of the conference have manifested conciliatory dispositions. But though Austria thus intimates the opinion that her efforts for peace will probably be crowned with success, she isT not neglecting the preparations necessary for a contrary eventuality. The Augsburg Gazette speaks of a despatch sent to Count de Rochberg charging in case the conferences should have no satisfactory result, to submit 'immediately t) the Diet a proposition for the mobilisation of the Federal contingents, without waiting for new orders. It says also that the , Austrian Cabinet has declared to the Western Powers, by an obligatory note, that if the Conferences should not result in the re-establishment of peace, the case foreseen by Art. 5 of the treaty . of the 2d December will be acted on, namely, that Austria will declare war on Russia. A letter from Vienna of the 17th says :—" The Austrian Imperial Commissioner in the Princi palities, Baron de Bach, has had conferences with the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject of a treaty relative to commercial rela tions with the Principalities and the free navi gation of the Danube. It has been stated that the Russian commander at Reni recently prohibited vessels from navigating the Lower Danube, but allowed six or eight . whieh•were at Galatz to leave. Count Buol, when ,he received information of this proceeding, called' on the not of St. Petersburg for explanatior4. We learn that Prince Gortschakoff a few days ago informed Count Buol that the commander of Reni had been disavowed, and that new orders should be imme diately sent to the Russian functionaries on the Danube." . , A letter from Warsaw, in-the Augsburg .Gazotte, says :—" We leara from. good authority that M. de Nesselrode will proceed to Vienni,7l,d'erd4rta be present at the Conferences, the Aa4d of which has become more and more prObable. He will not, however, arrive until about the middle of the discussions, when an important - speech or declaration may turn the scales to one side or the other." A letter from Vienna states that the Russian negotiators, Prince G-ortschakoff, M. de Titoff, and M. de Ironton, Councillor of the Russian Leg:ltion, had a conference on the 17th, which lasted from morning till evening ; that M. de Titoff afterwards had a conference with Count Buol ; and that ho subsequently sent off despatches in. cipher to Ber lin and St. Petersburg. A letter from :Vienna of the 17th, in the Post Ampt Gazette, says :—" Much attention has been excited by a conference which took place on the 14th at Count Buol's residence, and at which Lord John Russell, the Earl of Westmoreland, Baron de Bourqueney, Baron de Prokesch, the Bavarian Ambassador, Count Lerchenfeld, and Barons And la,u and Drachenfells, the representatives of the Grand Duchies of Baden and Hesse, were present. Neither Russia nor Turkey was represented at this conference, as only German interests Were dis cussed at it." FRANCE. The Emperor yesterday received replies from the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar to the letters of recall of the Marquis de Ferriere-de-Vayer and to those accrediting the Prince de Latour d'Auvtigne in his stead. The French Government has granted its exequa tur to M. Pusinelli as consul for Saxony at Havre ; to M. Loreilhe for the Republic of TJruguay at Bor deaux ; and to M. Rouret y Manegat as vice-consul for Sardinia at Oran. Private letters from Constantinople of the Bth speak of the great effect produced there by the death of the Emperor Nicholas. Letters from before Sebastopol, dated the sth, again allude to the combat on the night of the 23d, and give the " order of the day" of General CanroberF, which, I believe, has not as yet been published. It is to this effect : " Soldiers,—ln the combat between the troops of the 2d Corps and the Russians on the night of the •23 24th of this month, the object which we proposed was attained, and our arms have acquired a new eclat, which they owe in great measure to the officers, sub-officers, and men of the 2d Division of Zouaves, gallantly led on. by their worthy chief, Colonel Clerc, and Majors Lacratelle and Darbcis. General do Monet, who led in person, under the energetic direction of General Mayran, the attack against the Rus sians, was the first to penetrate into their intrenehments, where, in spite of four wounds j net received, he never ceased to give the example of brilliant courage to all. Commend ant Mertneir, of tbe 4th Regiment of Marines, De I.s Fosse, Lieutenant of Artillery, and Velasque, Captain of Engi neers, followed close to their general. Generalßosquet, corn mending the 2d corps, had prepared theoperation, and had the direction of it. The General-in-Chief thinks, in the name of the Emperor and of France, the brave men who sustain the honour of oar flag.with a gallantry so distin guished that even our enemy renders it homage. We have sustained painful losses. 94 of our men, almost all belong ing to the 2d Regiment of Zouaves, svhese courage I can not sufficiently eulogise, have gloriously fallen. Let us bestow on them our regret ; but let us remember that they have fallen for the country—for the Emperor ; and that tht ir death has been avenged by that of a still greater •number of our enemies.
