Many deeply interesting questions must be decided, not only respecting the foreign, but also the domestic, polici of the country. All relating to the war must, of course, command the earliest, but not necessarily the exclusive attention of both Houses. Nothing that by any possibility can conduce to the comfort or welfare, or, still more, the safety of our gallant troops, now sta tioned in tie Crimea, can be for a moment ne glected or postponed. All other topics, however pressing, must yield to the superior urgency of matters relating to the War. But, while we yield that undisputed priority, we must also insist on the propriety, nay more, the necessity, of effecting other reforms, on which the prosperity and happiness of the nation greatly depend. We must earnestly protest against the precedent of last session being followed, of ruthlessly sacri ficing everything, not to the efficient carrying on of the War, but to the convenience of the Mi- nistry I In 1854 the nation was greatly excited by the formal declaration of hostilities. Although naturally discontented and dissatisfied at the con duct of the Government in the first instance, at its truckling to the CZAR, and ridiculously impo tent negotiations, when any man of ordinary common sense must have seen that no thing but prompt and decisive action could have had the slightest effect on the iron will of the AUTOCRAT, it made considerable allowance for the desire to exhaust all the means of preserving peace. Although convinced that the course adopted was the worst possible, it gave some de gree of credit to Government, and fondly believed that, when the sword was actually drawn, and hostilities had commenced, there would have been some indications of the energy and activity which were so deplorably wanting in the earlier stages. It did not wish to obstruct the measures about to be adopted on the Ministerial responsibility, or to insist on disclosures that might be premature, and possibly prejudicial to the nation. The principle was boldly enunciated by the thick-and-thin sup porters of the Joint-Stock Administration in the public press—that because the country was at war, no question of " confidence," or rather want ' of confidence, could be entertained ; that any de cided opposition which might, by a possibility, lead to a Ministerial crisis could only be adopted by the friends of Russia ! Ridiculous as was this fallacy—untenable as was the principle—it was adopted by the Ministerial Leader in the Lower House, and acted on by both branches of the Le gislature. It served as an excuse for withdrawing every Ministerial, and resisting every Opposition, proposition. No measure on which any difference of opinion existed could be pressed through itsvarious stages. What is facetiously termed " the mas sacre of the innocents" commenced at an unusually early period, and was continued with unrelenting severity, so that few indeed of the many interest ing measures introduced arrived at maturity. Although, before the meeting of Parliament on the 12th ultimo, the delusion which induced many to place reliance on the efforts of the Go vernment was dispelled—although the nation was thoroughly disgusted with the incapacity and carelessness displayed in the management, or ra ther mismanagement, by those in office— still it was felt by many that the time had not arrived for insisting on explicit information, or enforcing categorical answers to the many search ing interrogatories that might be exhibited. It was declared that Parliament was called together merely for the purpose of pas sing two measures indispensable to the se curity of the Allied Forces in the Crimea. One of these, the Militia Bill, was carried almost by acclamation ; whatever differences might exist as to the details, there was but little respecting the principle. It was merely giving permission to the militia to serve with their own assent in certain colonies, so as to relieve the regular gar risons, and enable them to proceed to the seat of War, should their services be urgently required ! Nor was it the assent of a maj ority of each regi ment that was required. No man could be called on to servo beyond the limits of the United Kingdom, without his own individual approval. " The other question was, however, one of a very different character, and subjected to very different treatment. The first, respecting which there was no difficulty, was openly avowed ; its pro visions were made known to the nation, so that it was stamped with popular approbation even before its introduction. It was also alluded to in the Royal Speech, so that, so Lir as the Militia Bill was concerned, everything was straightfor ward and above-board. Not so the Foreigner% Enlistment Bill. It was kept shrouded in the deepest mystery to the last moment. Not a hint was suffered to transpire that could inform the public mind or lead to an expression of public opinion. Ministers felt themselves the weakness of the case the unconstitutional nature of the measure which, through some latent but ,powerful influence, they were compelled to bring forward. Their consciences taught them that success could only be achieved by means of a surprise, and therefore a surprise was resorted to, and, unfortunately, was but too succcessful. The measure was carr i e d, t o th e i n t ense disgust of the B r i t i s h peop l e. A n d we may j udge how far the plea of "urgency," which alone led to its hasty adoption, was well founded, from the fact that nothing since has been done to carry out its provisions. Now, however, the time has at length arrived when all th ese matters must be fully inquired into • whe n and some of his colleagues mustLobred arraig ne d at the bar of public opinion, and when they must stand or fall on their own merits or demerits, receiving no adventitious aid from the fact of the it will existence of hostilities ; o n the contrary, constitute a more powerful reason for rendering THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1855, a strict account of their proceedings, and showing whether they have wasted and disregardei the golden opportunities placed at their disposal. To bring them to this strict account will be the duty of the independent members of all shades and va zieties of political opinion. It is a duty which we believe will not be neglected, nor even executed ist a slovenly manner. One important question will have to be decided by the chosen representatives of independent con stituencies during the present Session. It must be determined whether Anglicanism or Germanism is to be the prevailing principle in the Govern ment of the country ;—whether our Ministers are to be English in thought and feeling, looking only to the welfare and prosperity of their country; or whether they are to truckle to the wishes of foreign despots, and direct their attention to mat ters in which British interests arelnot their only or even their chief objects. Time was when the declaration that a Member of the Cabinet was not the Minister of Austria, of Prussia, of Russia, or even of Saxe-Coburg, but an English Minister, could elicit a burst of enthusiastic approval from the House. Has that time departed ? Are the feelings that found vent in rapturous and vehement` cheering completely changed ? We believe not Much reason as there may be to doubt the fact, we believe that there is still, in both Houses of Parliament, a thorough and un bending determination to keep England for the English, and to eschew all matters in which we have no real concern. We have already suffered too severely from our connexion with Hanover to desire the creation or revival of similar ties, or the undue weight of family or dynastic influ ences. England has no uncles or cousins, nor will she consent to be dragged into the mire for matters in which she has no personal concern. She will do all that her honour, her safety, her interest—nay more, her sense of justice, may de mand. But these are the only matters to bo con sidered when deciding on her foreign or domestic policy. The Foreigners Enlistment Bill has opened the eyes of the people. They have seen the flimsy pretext on which it was forced with unseemly haste through Parliament, already completely ex posed. They have seen that for all practical purposes it might have been deferred unt;l the ordinary period of discussing new :projects ; for nothing whatever has been dome to carry the obnoxious law into operation. It has only led to measures by Prussia and other States to prevent us from gaining the recruits for which we were seeking, and the obtaining whereof Ministers represented to be indispensable to the safety of the Amy of the Crimea. Nay, more, it is said •n good autho rity, that it has not ai yet been decided on which section of the War Department the execution of the law should devolve. If this be really so, the allegation of necessity is fully and completely disproved. The argu ments of Ministers have been completely disposed of by their acts, and we must believe that the real motive still remains concealed—that it is something springing from that " Germanism," of which the Ration has heard so much, and which it is firmly determined to discountenance. Is there, then, not still time to repeal the obnoxious law, to remove the blot froth the National Statute-book, and show that England can be defended by English hands—that we can rely on our thews and sinews, rather than on gold—on the patriotic) exertions of men fighting for their native land, rather than on the venal efforts of foreign mercenaries. This ought to be done, and we trust that some inde pendent member will be found prepared to take the sense of the House on the subject. If not, there is but one alternative—viz., the expulsion from office of Lord ABERDEEN and the Clique by whom the obnoxious measure was so recklessly and improperly forced on, and the substitution of a really English Ministry, who will take care that it shall not be brought into practical operation, but suffered to fall into well-merited desuetude. MONEY MARKET AND commoRCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,000 American taken for exportation. The market closed firmly, and full prices were obtained for all kinds. The sales comprised 6,250 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 61d., 120 Bahia at 6d. to 6gd., 200 Egyptian at Md. to 71 2 d:, 1,200 Surat at 21d. to 4d., and 80 Sea Island at 10d. to Is. 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. The Government rum contract has been taken at 2s. Bd. to 2s. 9d. for the East India, and at 3s. to 3s. ld. for proof Leewards. The quantity taken was 53,000 gallons, being smaller than was ex pected. Glasgow letters 'announce the failure of Messrs. Turiff and Sharp, largely in the iron trade, at New Cumnock. No accounts beyond the telegraphic outline are yet in town per Great Britain from Australia, but the large amount of gold brought affords a good proof that although th e i m p or t mar kets were bad, the gold production kept up well. Parties ac quainted with the colony consider that it will steadily recover from the present crisis, and that shippers on this side will principally suffer. From Vienna we learn that Baroa Sina is to be made a commander of the order of Leopold, and Baron Eskeles of. the second class of the Iron Crown,- for the important financial services ren dered to the Government, and especially in the railway treaty with the great French Company. The intelligence from New York mentions that there had been more buoyancy in the stock market, but at the latest date the upw.ird movement had been checked, and a reaction had commenced. Money, however, was easy. The current rates of freight were steady. The market for breadstuffs was rather heavy. The California advices are very favourable as re gards mining operations, but the absence of rain was severely felt by the miners. The market for grain at San Francisco was very active, and in some of the other markets there was more animation. The construction of a railway from Los Angeles to the Colorado continued to occupy the attention of some of the wealthy capitalists, and the project was generally thought very highly of. In the Stock Exchange guesses about probable dividends are a favourite occupation about this time. The Caledonian, which was a few days since mentioned as likely to be 13s. ed., is now reported at 14s. 9d. The Great Northern, estimated at 51- on Saturday, is now calculated at 51.. The Lanca shire and Yorkshire, it is said, will be ab ou t 4, th e Midland 3, the North-Western 5, and the South- Western 4i, although it is also asserted that the last-named could pay 5. Of the Great Western there is no figure named, but some consider that it will be lower. _ The English Stock Market has been very fiat again, as is frequently the case when Pa r li amen t i s about to resume its sittings, and any ques ti ons embarrassing to Ministers are expected to arise. The difficulties in the commercial world are like wise against buoyancy in prices. C onso l s h ave been 91 4, and since 911 for transfer. The i ac count prices have been 914 Exchequer Bills are 4s. to 75., and East India Bonds 14s. premium. The New 3 per Cents. have been 91 to 92i, and the Reduced 914 to I. There have been n o trans actions in Bank Stock ! _ In the Foreign Stocks there have been very few transactions, and the quotations are mostly lower. The apprehension that Carlist risings are contem plated in Spain has occasioned a decline to 371 and 361- in the Three per Cents., and to 18 and 17-i in the Deferred. Mexican are flat at 21 t o Belgian 41. per Cents. have realised 94. Nothing has been done in Turkish Bonds. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 to 6 ; Mexi can, 21 to 21f ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto Three per Cents., 50 to 52 ; Pori ua aese Four per Cents., 41 to 42 ; Russian Five per Cents., 100 to 102 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91; Spanish New Deferred, 17i to 18 ; ditto Three per Cents., 36 to 371 ; ditto Certificates, 4 to si; ditto Passive, 4 to 41. The market for Railway Shares has been rela tively better maintained than that for Consols, and there is a moderate business doing in them. About this periods when the meetings are coming on, and the dividends are to be declared, greater activity is naturally expected. The principal dealing has been in Caledonian, Great Western (which are very flat), Lancashire and Yorkshire, South-Eastern, and South-Western. The Canadian lines have been in a little request, and the French scarcely so high.

LATEST NEWS. VIENNA, JAN. 21 The Vienna ~Cabinet has received despatches from London and Paris announcing the determi nation of the Western Powers not to relax their military efforts on account of what transpired on the 7th. A despatch to the same effect has been transmitted from this court to London and Paris, respecting the military preparations of Austria, COPENHAGEN, JAN. 21 The motion for the impeachment of the late Ministry has been rejected in the Volksthing, by 63 votes against 32. The budget passed the second reading yeFterday. It is reported that Herr Von Scheel undertakes definitively the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. WARSAW, JAN. 14 Yesterday, the Russian new year's day, the Emperor's manifesto was read by the clergy in all the churches. The Correspongance of Berlin says that hopes of peace become more faint. The transformation of the defensive treaty into an offensive one was proceeding actively at Vienna. It was considered as certain that the war would be continued with all the energy possible, and that negotiations for peace on the part of Austria approached their conclusion. We learn from Vienna that the representatives of England and of France have received full powers from their respective Governments to enable them to act upon the acceptance of Russia of the Four Points, but the conferences cannot commence until the Turkish Minister has received a reply from Constantinople, with instructions how to act. That reply could not be received till the 3d of February. BRUSSELS, JAN. 22 A despatch from Frankfort confirms the news of the sending by Count Bud to Count Ester- hazy of a note dated the 14th, which was handed to M. de Manteuffel on the 17th. In this note Austria again demands the placing of the Prussian troops on a war footing, and replies to the despatch of M. de Manteuffel of the sth. The question, it is posi tively said, will be brought before the Diet sooner than was supposed. As a last resource Austria will make use of article 12 of the final act of May 15, 1820, on the constitution of the Ger manic Diet. The latest accounts from Constantinople roper the death of the Circassian chieftain Schamyl. According to a telegraphic despatch received in Paris last night from Prince Monschikoff, nothing extraordinary had occurred before Sebas topol up to the 14th. Indeed, it is not believed here that anything serious will occur previous to the arrival of Generals Niel and Polissier, and the Imperial Guard. A letter, purporting to proceed from St. Petersburg, dated the 10th, says that for some time past numerous relays are posted at intervals of four leagues front Odessa to Sebastopol for the purpose of conveying, as soon as the snow is frozen over, reinforcements to the amount of 40,000 men for the Russian army. It is expected that the Russians will have on the 15th February an army of 160,000 men in the Crimea. At St. Petersburg complaints are heard against Prince Menschikoff, who, strange to say, is accused by the Imperial entourage, and even by the people, of excessive prudence, and a total want of that perilous quality which sometimes im pels a general to leave a good deal to chance. lie is accused of being toofaithful a disciple of General Koutousoff, who is said to have fought, in spite of himself, the battle of the Moskowa in 1812, which was disastrous to the Russians, and not to have dis played sufficient energy in preventing the French from penetrating into Russia. The people are be ginning to get clamorous against the Prince, and discontented even with the Czar, who, they think, has already made far too many concessions. To more they will not listen. Osten Sacken is again spoken of as likely to obtain the command, in the event of Menschikars removal, with Liprandi as his second. In case of a change it is net certain whether the Prince will be summoned to St. Pe tersburg, or be left in the Crimea with the duty of defending the city during the assault, while Osten Sacken commands the army in the field. The letters repeat the assurance that the feeling of the population at St. Petersburg is decidedly for war. o'clock. At half-past two the thermometer on the Boulevards was Gi below zero. Count de Montmirail, an habitues' of the Bourse, has been sentenced by the Couit of Correctional Police to six months' imprisonment and 500 f. fine, for circulating false news and caluhanie3 against the Emperor.

His place will be taken by Baron Bruck, who is succeeded as Minister at Constanti nople by Baron Koller. Baron Koller was for some time acting Minister for Austria in London. The diplomatic world at Vienna was anything but sanguine as to the success of the forthcoming negotiations. The late incursion of the Russian s into the Dobrud scb a was a step not maturely considered before it was taken, and is likely to lead to the most disastrous re sults for the Czar's brother-in-law and special sup porter, the King of Prussia. It has had, moreover, the effect of opening the eyes of Europe to the syste matic duplicity of RussiA in professing her desire to proceed with the negotiations for peace, and at the same time taking a move which obliges Austria, to act on the defensive, arid binds Prussia to sup port her by the terms of the treaty of 20th April. Count Buol immediately had an interview with. Prince Gortschakoff, and taxed him openly with this breach of good faith on the part of his Go• vernment. The Prince merely shrugged his shoulders, mid replied that he was not to blame, and knew nothing about the incursion. Despatches were instantly sent off to Herr von Hubner at Paris, with orders to communicate to the Emperor of the French the notification, that in consequence of this fresh aggressive act on the part of Russia, the execution of the offensive and defensive treaty of alliance could not be any longer delayed. FRANCE. PARIS, Monday.—Yesterday Baron Hubner de livered to the Emperor Napoleon an autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria. Telegraphic despatches from Turin of the 21st represent the King as in deep sorrow, but the health of is Majesty gives no ground for al arm . A mourning of fifteen days is ordered. - The sitting of the Chambers is suspended. The Duke of Genoa, whose delicate health had been greatly tried by the shock, is better. The Emperor decorated to-day several spaliis who had captured flags and otherwise distinguished themselves in the late expedition against Toug gourt. The yearly return of Customs and indirect taxes shows that 149,337,510 f. have been received in 1854 against 141 ,607,552 f. in 1853, and 139,863,655 f. in 1852; thus giving an increase of 7,729,958 f. on 1853, and of 9,473,855 f. upon 1852. In the movements of the different garrisons in France there are not less than four regiments of the line and a battalion of Chasseurs under orders for the East. These are the 49th, which has just left Toulouse, the 86th (lately 11th Light In fantry), lately at Al g i ers ; th e 91 s t, l a t e ly a t S e tif ; the 100th, lately at Medeah ; and the 4th batta lion of Chasseurs, which has been at Tlemcen. All are under orders or on their march to the Crimea. These four regiments and a battalion of Chasseurs, with the duo proportion of artillery, will form the 10th division. Three regiments are also under orders for Lyons, and one for Toulon. The Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, drove yesterday afternoon in the Champs Elysees. They were attended only by one equerry, but had no outriders, nor escort of any kind. The crowds were considerable in the avenues and walks, and the reception their Majesties met with from all classes was more than respectful—it was enthu siastic. The Emperor looked in high spirits. It is very generally believed to-day that Prussia will avail herself of the refusal of the Western Powers to admit her to take part in the Vienna conferences without adhering to the treaty of Dec. 2 as a pretext for openly making common cause with the Czar. _ _ _ Tho weather continues cold, though not with th e same intensity as for the last three days.

BERLIN, JAN. 19.—Life in Berlin just now re sembles what we hear of life in Siberia in two points—the intensity of the cold and the total ab sence of political news. The first is nearly at zero, the second is quite so. . Prussia has been so com pletely " sent to Coventry" by the great Powers that it would be easier to send the news of Dr. Vogler and Dr. Barth's discoveries in Abyssinia than to report the progress of politics. The Go vernment seems to be making benne mine au mauvais jeu, and strives to represent isolation as in- fact rather the more natural state for Prussia than co-operation, although it would give anything to be of the party in Vienna ; the only valid rea son, however, that I have as yet met with why it is better for Prussia to be left out of the present war is, that "it comes cheaper." , Herr von Bismarck Schonhausen arrived at n ank fort again on the 16th inst., on his return from Berlin, to be present at yesterday's meeting of the Bund. THE BALTIC. KIEL, JAN. 17. Winter has at length made its appearance. Since my last despatch we have had frost and snow, and although there has not yet been any interruption . to the navigati on here a continuance of the same tem perature for some days would in all likelihood have that effect. For the present, therefore, the proba bility of any movement on the part of the Russian cruisers has somewhat diminished, but it is to be hoped that your having called attention to the. subject will induce Government to take such steps before the ice in the upper gulfs breaks up as will give an assurance to those engaged in trade and shipping in the Baltic that their interests, although they have now been overlooked, will in this respect be then sufficiently protected. I mentioned in a letter some time ago, that the English Vice-Consul at this port had received in structions from Sir Charles Napier to take charge of all stores that might not be required by the ships of the fleet at the timo of their leaving this an chorage. I now learn that no such stores have been delivered to him. The French still hold a quantity of coals hero, and I understand that they are now making inquiries as to suitable places of deposit for fuel and other stores, so as to be pre pared when their fleet returns. - It has given much satisfaction here to learn that General Stuttenheim, who has latterly resided in Brunswick, has been requested to proceed to Lon don to give!his advice and aid in the formation of a German Legion. Be was one of the chief of the staff of the Schleswig-Holstein army in 1848, and was a most efficient officer. The German States may take additional alarm from this appointment, and place further obstacles in the way of enlist ment in any part of their dominions. Heligoland will therefore be more than ever necessary for the purposes of enrolment, although the frost may now in some measure detract from its utility. THE MEDITERRANEAN. MARSEILLES, Jan, 18.—It would appear from the exertions which are being made to reinforce the army of the East with men, horses, ammuni tion, and provisions, that a speedy termination of the war is not anticipated . by the French Govern ment. The new steamer Carmel sailed to-day with the mails for Constantinople. She took General Coeur, and 400 infantry and cavalry. Several sailing transports cleared out at the same time, laden with 200 men and 280 artillery horses. A telegraphic message was received yesterday at the Toulon Dockyard to prepare forthwith for embar kation 46 pieces of the heaviest siege artillery. Tho Gauge sailed for Constantinople on Mon day, having on board General Niel, Colonel de Vaubert, ono of General Canrobert's aides-de-camp ; 150 infantry, 150 engineers, and 140 hospital assistants. Four bales of linen and lint, supplied by the ladies of Marseilles, were likewise forwarded to the army of the East by the Gauge. The mail steamer Euphrate, which left Constantinople on the Bth inst., arrived hero yes terday morning twenty-four hours after her time. Osier Paella had returned from Eupatoria to Varna to superintend the embarkation of his troops. Behram Pasha, (Colonel Cannon) re mained at Eupatoria with Tefik Pasha, Omer Pasha's son-in-law, and 10,000 infantry with artillery, and some squadrons of cavalry. The town had been fortified by the Turks, and surrounded by a ditch, undei the direction of French engineers. The Cossacks in the neighbour hood amounted to 7,000. The Henri IV., stranded near Eupatoria, is occupied by 100 French seamen. The Egyptian ship of the lino stranded near the Henri IV. had taken fire, and been burnt to the water's edge. 300 Tartar horses had been pur chased at Eupatoria, to remount the British and French cavalry. The weather in the Crimea is very unfavourable for siege operations. Rain and snow are falling continually, and the trenches are inundated. The last French parallel has been car ried to within 120 yards of the town. The Turks had opened a communication with Schamyl, whose army consists of 20,0 C) men, of whom 6,000 are regular troops. Prince Beratynski, a Pole, hold ing the commission of lieutenant in the Russian Imperial Guard, had deserted to the Turks. A letter from Toulon, dated yesterday, announces the sailing of the screw ship-of-the-line Fleurus for the Crimea, with 215 of the 11th Infantry, detach ments of the 16th and 25th, and 320 of the 4th battalion of Chasseurs of Vincennes. Letters from Munich of the 15th state that minis ters had required from the Chambers an extraordi nary credit of fifteen millions of florins for the use of the army. The demand was referred to a com mittee, and Baron von Lerchenfeld ordered to draw up a report and present it to the Chambers. Ac cording to statistical tables laid before the Chamber of Deputies during a discussion on the proposed alteration ix the electoral law, it appears that the whole population of the kingdom of Bavaria at the end of December, 1852, amounted to 4,559,452 souls, or 996,347 families. Each family, therefore, contains about four persons and a half. The Kreuz Zeitung, the Russian organ at Berlin, announces that the communication made by Prince Gorttchakoff to C )unt Buol, on the 6th instant, only pledges Russia to accept absolutely those of the Four Points which directly affect Austrian and German interests, the acceptance of the others being of a qualified and conditional character. A curious instance of the universal popularity of the loan is given in a Parisian country paper. At Tarbes, in the south of France out of 100,000 fr. received as Ideposits, two-thirds of the ppm n s were made in old French and Spanish coins, which had long disappeared from circulation, and must have been hoarded for many years. A more strik ing proof of confidence in the Government on th e part of the lower classes could not be afforded. The "Vienna Prcsse publishes a telegraphic do spatclz anAeuncivg the PiguAtuct, by Ae§chicl l'Acha4 THEATRES. DRIIRT - LANE.—Another morning performance of the magnificent pantomime of Jack and Jill takes place to morrow, at two o'clock. These morning performances, which were first gi►en by the enterprising lessee of this theatre, are now found to be most attractive, as they enable those "home for the holidays " to see a panto mime without the disagreelbles of a snowy evening. We must congratulate Mr. Smith on the success that has hitherto attended all his efforts, and we hope that the crowded audiences that hare alwaye assembled within the walls of " Old Drury " on the occasion of his morning performances will long continue. It is almost needless to remark that the pantomime increases in at traction every evening it is represented. HAYMARKET.—Last evening Mr. Compton appeared for the first time in the character of Paul Pry, and we have never seen the part better played than on this occa sion. The character, in the hands of those who have of late performed the part, has been very much mistaken, and the curious gentleman has often been made an im pudent low-bred fellow, but in the hands of Mr. Comp ton all the points in the part were beautifully brought out, and since the days of Liston we have not had a treat equal to that of last evening. The pantomime at this theatre continues it 3 career of popularity, and will do so, we have no doubt, till the lessee is called upon for his Easter offering. OLYMPIC.—A. new comedetta, entitled Tit for Tat, was produced hero for the first time last evening. The principal parts were sustained by Messrs. Emery, Rob son, and Wigan. It was quite successful. CHAPTER OF THE BATH.—We believe it is the inten tion of her Majesty, shortly after her arrival in London for the season, to hold a chapter of the above distin guished order, of which Prince Albert is Grand Master, for the purpose of investing Lieutenant General Sir De Lacy Evans (now a Knight -Commander) and Major- General the Earl of Cardigan, who distinguished himself by his heroism at Balakiava, with the insignia of the grand cordon of the order. - Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert have each presented another donation of 201. to the Hone and Colonial School Society, of which 'they are the patrons. This society has always 150 female teachers in training, and 600 children under in struction in their model schools in Gray's-inn-road. The Earl of Dalkeith,M.P., who has been on a vi s it _ _ ,o Lord John Scott, at his seat, near Rugby, conies to town at the close of week. The Duke - alai Duchess of %Mauch and family are still staying at Bowhill, N.B. The Earl of Caledon is reported to be seriously indis posed at his seat in Ireland. Tiscount Palmerston arrived in town last evening from his seat, Broadlands, Hants. Lord Seymour, who has been with Lady Seymour and family at Maiden Bradley, Wilts, returns to town to-day to attend to his Parliamentary duties. The first meeting of the Fox Club will take place at Brooks's, on Saturday next, the 27th instant, when a large meeting is expected. The settling day for the scrip of the Scinde Railway is fixed for Friday, the 26th, and the shares are to be marked in the official list. The official Mos have commenced in Paris. After a dinner on Wednesday M. de Moray gave his guests a charming concert, at which Mme. Besio, Mine. Barghi, MM. Graviani, and Nara Baraldi assisted. THE HONOURABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY.—The offi cers of this corps entertained, on Saturday last, Major H. Reed, M.P. for Abingdon, with a sumptuous mess dinner, at their headquarters, Finsbury. Major Reed has been recently appointed to take the active duties of the regiment, in consequence of Lieut.-Colonel Fitzroy's civil services being required at the Home-office, which pre vented him from taking the command. Major Reed has already made some valuable suggestions for the alte rations of the uniform of the corps, and has substituted for the shako the new pattern bearskin cap, and ex pressed' his intention to offer immediately to the Go vernment the services of the regiment. Both officers and men are anxious for duty, and this announcement has therefore been received with enthusiasm. Major Reed, on his health being proposed by the senior Major, Barnard (who is about to retire), made a spirited and tprop r i ate reply, an d was warm l y congratu l ate d upon _T Is proposed introduction of fresh energy into the corps for its greater efficiency.
