" Doubt not, the Commoners, for whom we stand, But they upon their ancient malice, will Forget with the least cause, these his new honours." "Baiting the Nineveh Bull" seems to be a prevailing and rapidly-increasing practice in the popular branch of the-Legislature. It is certainly not a very creditable and by no means a safe amusement. The enterprising tauridors have, occasionally to deplore their reckless aud ac ity. But although many are tossed, others rush for ward to the rescue, anxious to inflict some wound on the noble victim. There is some jealousy, and much spite in this unworthy and very courageous series of onslaughts on a single individual. It is not usual with Englishmen to seek extraordinary odds against any person, or tostrive to rail down by clamour and bullying one whom they would scarcely desire to encounter with equal weapons. But Mr. LAYARD'S is a peculiar case. He is just now the man of the people. His name has been identified with the great cause of Administrative and Military Reform ; and those who feel that his success will consign them to comparative in significance—those who, like DEMETRIUS the silver smith, feel that " the craft by whi.3ll they have been living" is endangered, are ready to seize on any opportunity to, strive per fas gut nefas to damage the too-daring assailant. The superseded septnagenarian, who, having bitterly disappointed the expectations excited in his behalf,_ sees the po pularity which he once enjoyed transferred to the Honourable Gentleman the member for Ayles bury, complacently regards any blow Inflicted on his competitor for—we should rather say his suc cessor in—the public favour. He has not himself scrupled to come at the tail of a yelping pack, who rushed open-mouthed on their intended prey, whom they hoped to terrify by their number and virulence. The signal thus given could scarcely be disregarded. When the official dispenser of the " loaves and fishes " showed his teeth, every puny "waiter on PROVIDENCE," every hunter after the crumbs of patronage that fall from the Ministerial table, strives to bite, and'to inflict some damage on the obnoxious member. Thus it was that, although a house could not be maintained, to hear the important motion of Sir ERSKINE PERRY re specting the mode by which the Anglo-Indian army could be made available in the war against RusSia, or the resolutions of Capt. SCOBELL re- Vecting promotion in the navy, every seat was ?ivied, every part of the house filled, to hear a question asked of the Hon. Member for Aylesbury!" for the cold, were there the slightest occasion Velm a not rem ar k, ee- desire the Honourable Gen he will b e d __ 11): discouraged, or t o su ppose that which he has beete:ll by the people i n th e or d ea l to subjected in consequenc e of his rejection of an omee f o r which he did not con s id e r himself qualified, while that in which he could really have been useful was e e iven to one wh ose qu alifications were n o t of a v highry order, and who would have got on much better and also of the lead he has taken in the elsewhere, of the great questi ons of t he day. lutagther itati°ll really no necessi t y for such ad-monition. The Honourable Honourable Gentl eman treats the aq saults with th e profound contempt the y so eminentl y meri t , while he emphatically protests against the waste of valu able 'public time in such unseemly altercations, an d justifies himself in such a manueras to place him in a 14 ieher position than ever. We sh al Ith erefore bestow t'he advice which he does not require on lits as sailants, wa rn against suf whom we emphatically fe ing themselves to be made the instruments of such unworthy has eh designs. The Hon. nor Gentleman that he can neither be bullied cajoled—that he can n o t assailants, be terrified by the-threats of moustachioed He ea ants, nor ga i ned tempting offers. over by sneered can neither be frowned down, coughed down, d o wn, nor bought off; and, therefore, it will be better to meet his argumeulo faioy,if they can_ so be met, than to re;oti fa. rn i F , s il ez recuil upon those by whom tiiey have beet► hurled ! What was the gravamen of the charge last night preferred against him ? That he had declared that Captain CHRISTIE, now unfortunately de ceased, was apparently an old and an ailing man, and thus unfit for the discharge of the duties en trusted to his charge. The deplorable calamities which occurred at Balaklava, and the numerous complaints preferred against the gallant Captain would have justified any member of Parliament in speaking of the system which led to such infelicitous appointments. But Mr. LAYARD did not act on mere hearsay. He spoke of that which he had seen with his own eyes, and of which he had heard unexceptionable witnesses speak in the strongest terms. Had there been any misapprehension, he would at once have corrected it on any proper application. But he would not condescend to notice communications couched in improper terms. When Captain CHRISTIE wrote to him, he at once forwarded a reply to the direction in dicated by that officer, and in doing so he made every concession that could reasonably be required at his hands.. The most ridiculous part of the transaction was the manner in which Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who had ordered a Court-martial on Captain CHRISTIE, tried to show that it was really an act of kindness to the accused, and that he himself was one of his best friends, actuated only by the kindest feelings towards him. Thus it was that, with a tragical air, and, as he declares, fixing his eye on Mr. LAYARD, he announced to the Committee that Captain CHRISTIE had died of "a broken heart." If there were anything of the sort it was he himself who had occasioned it—not Mr. LAYARD. No man ever yet died because it was said that he was a few years older than he really was. If we are to credit Sir J. GRAHAM, he either yielded to clamour to the extent of sacri ficing an innocent victim, or he used his official power to prevent the attendance of a witness before the Select Committee of the House of Com mons. We leave the Knight of Netherby to select either of these alternatives—to say on which horn of the dilemma he pleases to be tossed. But none of these attacks in the House will check the great cause of Administrative Reform, which has made greater progress than any modern question within a similar time. Nor will the petty refusals of provincial DOGBERRYS who, like the Mayor of Liverpool, venture to refuse the request of their most distinguished townsmen to cunvene a meeting to discuss the topic. It has flourished, and will flourish, despite such op positions ; and the nation will, if the first move ment be energetically followed up, achieve the important object on which it Lai set its heart, and speedily see " the right men in the right places." If General CANROBERT Las not earned a high military reputation while in command of the French forces before Sebastopol, in his resigna tion of that command he has nobly vindica,ted the honourable nature of the ambition by which he is actuated, and has set an example worthy of imi tation by co:nmanding officers in all time to come. The second bombardment of Sebastopol having failed of success, he appears to have reviewed his position with au unflattering eye ; and, having arrived at the conclusion that, entrusted as he was with the command of a splendid army, its signal want of success must be attributable, in some degree, to his personal inability to dis charge its duties as their almost unprecedented responsibility demanded, he at once determined on the course he would pursue. He sent home his resignation, and the Emperor accepted it. So far well ; but the crowning merit of the act was involved in the request that accompanied it. If he could not serve his country in the highest com mand, his abilities might be useful in a lower. Such a trust he, therefore, felt. it his duty to re quest should be consigned to him. The noble ness of this procedure w ill appear from his desire, that his subordinate, General PELISSIER, should be his successor. What generosity and patriotism prompted the suggestion those only who can realise his position can adequately appreciate. Of his successor's military talent report speaks highly. Trained in a stern school, under Marshal BITGEA TM, General PELISSIER has the reputation of being one of the most resolute and able of the Marshal's distinguished pupils. Whether lie will confirm the high opinion entertained of him it is impossible to predict. A good divisional officer may make an indifferent commander-in chief, and vice versa. But it is not less true that, without opportunity, the highest genius cannot be developed. For our part, we are disposed to entertain a confident reliance in his ability. Personally, he may be far inferior to General CANROBERT. He may not possess his amiability of feeling and rough good humour, but he is not likely to be less attentive to the welfare of his troops—a duty to which his predecessor was always attentive, and he is sure to inspire them with his own indomitable resolution. With the splendid army now in the Crimea what, under such circumstances, may not be effected, provided the English army is similarly led ? This, however, is impossible so long as Lord RAGLAN is Commander-in-Chief. How long is he to continue so ? Will the proud patrician disdain to follow the example of the noble plebeian, whose retirement has covered him with honour, and throw up his command ? Or will the Go vernment be compelled to withdraw him, however reluctant they may be to do so ? We shall - see. But this we must say, that the guilt of that man, or that body of men, on whom the responsibility of haz trding the success of the Allied Armies in the Crimea, by continuing his lordship in com mand, may rest, will be such as to make thought ful men shudder, and to call for a public "im peachment." To Lord RAGLAN we would say, resign at once ! or to Lord PALmEnsToN—bid him ! We beg to draw attention to a letter signed "A Commander, R.N.," which appears in another, parl.of our impression, and relates to war destruc tive inventions. The writer justly complains of the discouragement experienced by inventors in official quarters, and of the almost insuperable difficulties they-have to combat whose inventions run counter to existing establishments. He fur ther suggests the formation of a commission for the purpose of examining inventions that are of vital importance to England in her war with Russia, and in the propriety of this we fully concur, provided " the members of the commis sion be thoroughly competent to the duty required of them, and undertake it in a spirit of good feel ing, and with a desire to assist, rather than put down, an inventor who may submit his scheme for examination," and that the inventor, in case of failure, be made to defray the costs of the experi ment. Without the former conditions can, to some extent, be secured, the greatest invention may be pronounced absurd, and the efforts of the most brilliant inventor be rendered useless, while without the last proviso the public money would inevitably be wasted. The confident assertion that our costliest ships may be destroyed by an expenditure on each of twenty pounds worth of explosive material is sufficiently startling to call for the prompt adoption of our correspondent's recommendation. The Archbishop of Canterbury will preach to-morrox (Sunday) at St. Michael's. Church, Pimlico, in aid of the funds of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, Brompton.

General Canrobert's report of the combats of the Ist and 2d, before Sebastopol, is published in the Moniteur. It concludes as follows : "This double combat, of which I have just given you the details, characterises, in the happiest and in the most honourable manner, the qualities of intrepidity and ardour that distinguish our troops. Never have they given —on a limited theatre, it is true, but where the drama of war is displayed in the most striking points—greater proofs of courage and daring. This success has enabled us to advance 150 metres at one bound towards the Central Bastion, and has had an im mense moral effect upon the two armies. " The health of the army is excellent. " The army is superb—of unrivalled energy. Its equipment is perfect—it stands in need of nothing." BERLIN, FRIDAY, MAY 18. The Journal de Ft. Petersbourg publishes a cir cular despatch, addressed to the representatives of Russia, abroa,i, containing a Rus3ian account of the progress of the Vienna Conferences. The settlement of the first point is declared to be in fulfilment of a promise which Russia had made to guarantee the prosperity of the Princi palities. The Emperor decided the second point in favour of the commercial liberty of all nations. The third point concerned the balance of power in Europe, but was incompatible with the honour of Russia. The Plenipotentiaries of France and England refused to deliberate upon the fourth point, the most important of all for Christendom. VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 18. Things have undergone a change. New Aus trian propositions were probably forwarded yester day to London and Paris. It is said that Austria will give her material support to the Western Powers should they ac cept, and Russia reject, her propositions. VARNA, THURSDAY, MAY 17. There is heavy firing every night at Sebastopol. The expedition to Kertch has not been re newed. Three divisions of the French army have left Maslak for the Crimea. The cholera has almost disappeared. We have received the following telegraphic despatch, dated Nargen, 15th May : Twenty-three sail, eleven of them screws, have anchored off Nargen. The other ships in the Baltic are to assemble immediately. The Imperieuse sailed to-clay for England, to repair damage sustained by running into the Tartar on the 10th. Active operations against the enemy are in con templation. A telegraphic despatch, dated Hamburg, Vith inst., says— The whole of the English fleet, with the ex ception of two vessels, has left Farosund to pene trate further into the Gulf of Finland. rt ,,,,•!;""ylT. , i3tilideg Invi left tbat port, and the commander of the liner Orion had likewise been ordered to join Admiral Dundas in the Baltic without delay. No English ship of war, riccordingly, remains at Kiel. You may form an idea of the quantity of meat required for the censurer ion of the English crews when I tell you that on the 9th no less than 200 oxen were shipped at Elsinore, in the transport Mercator, for the fleet, and this number wi'l scarcely suffice for its consumption during eight days. We have received accounts from Riga of the 9th, and from Revel, of the Bth instant. A considerable number cf sailors from Lake Ladoga had arrived at this last port, to serve as volunteers on board the gun-boats constructed and organised according to the system of the Grand Duke Con,tantine, and which have been reinforced since 1854 by two divisions in the Gulf f Finland. No Eng lish ship of war had appeared before the place since the notification of the blockade to the fireign Corpuls by the two steam frigates. The gulf is now sufficiently free from ice to be navigated without much danger. It was expected that the English fleet would effect a landing, as last year, on the Is'and of Dagoe, which is unprotected, and almost entirely covered with woof!, An entire division of Russian gun-boats, completely armed and manned, is stationed at Revel. The Rip sians greatly rely upon those light vessels for the defence of the towns situate along the gulf during the next campaign. The garrison of Revel, at the date of the last accounts, emsisted of 20,000 in fantry, quartered partly in the town and partly in the neighbouring country. The cava'ry was echeloned along the coast. Other troops w:r3 stationed in the dif- ferent localities of the provinces of Esthonia, which is placed, like those of Livonia and Courland, under the chief command of General &ewers." BERLIN, FRIDAY, MAY 18. The Driver, Captain Gardiner, arrived at Dantzic on the 1111). " v Eight Russian merchantmen have been cap tured off Dunamunde. The Imperieuse and Tar-tar have been damaged by a collision, and sent home for repairs. When the Driver left Revel a flag of truce was flying on shore ; cause unknown. TO THE EDiroll OF THE SUN. • WoomieEt, May 16. Sra,—" D--n all inventions and all inventors." Those were the energetic words said to be uttered by the Duke when his attention was requested to some con trivanCe of a War engine. Another military authority in a high position asked what was to become of gentle men in the profession of arms if short work be made of war by wholesale destructive schemes? Jan - ies Watt, of steam-engine celebrity, said that of all misfortunes which alight upon man none can be greater than the genius of invention. The Earl of Dandonald and many others may have learned by experience to sympathise with James Watt. None, perhaps, but inventors know the amount of discouragement. and diffi culty there is to combat, should their inventions, how ever well conceived, have to encounter the interests of existing establishments. RUSSIA.. • The St. Petersbnrg papers, of the 10th inst., _contain an Imperial manifesto, ordering a fresh levy of troops on a more extensive scale than usual. The following is the text : " We, A►exander the Second, by the grace of God Emperor, &c. But there is a limit to the patience and patriotism of man, and. there is a fear that war engines which have been offered to our Government will, from the indiffe rence with which they may have been treated, probably from their not being understood, pass over to the Russians; and that the first information the "gentlemen of England who live at home at ea , e" may have of their existence will be of their being employed in the destruction of our fleet and army. Would it - not, therefore, be well to have a oomm'ssior for' the purpose of examining inventions that are of vital importance to _England in her war with Russia? In such investigation there should be no foolish or lavish expenditure of the public money. In testing by experi ment the efficacy of a scheme, the inventor should be bound to defray the costs of the experiments that might be incurred by Government, in the event of failure The members of the commission should be thoroughly competent to the duty required of them, and which should be undertaken, i n a s pi r it o f goo d feeling, and with a desire to assist, rather than to put down, an in ventor who may submit his scheme for examination. "Inasmuch as we, under the present circumstances of the war, consider it indispensable to maintain our armies and fleets at their full complement, we com mand— "1. The 13th partial levy, to the extent of 12 men for every 1,000 souls, shall be carried into execution on the basis of the ukase in this case specially addressed to the Administrative Senate in the following. 17 Go vernments of the we , tern half of the empire :—Karkoff, E:thland, Grodno, Ekaterinoslaff, Kieff, Kowno, Cour land, Lifland, Minsk, Mobileff, Podolia, Poltowa, Pskoff, Tschernigoff, Wilna, Witepsk, and Volhynia. 2. The levy is to commence on June 13, 1855, and to finish on July 13th of the same year. 3. The Hebrews are to be exempted from furnishing- any recruits to this levy. "Giverat St. Petersburg, May 6 (April 24th in the year 1855 after the birth of Christ, and in the Ist of our reign. "ALEXANDER." We are building and equipping war ships at an immense expense. These costly ships can, it is confi dently asserted, be destroyed by a n expenditure up .n each of about twenty pounds worth of explosive compo sition. Such destruction can be effected with ease, and with small risk to those by whom it may be accomplished. If the subject upon which I have briefly descanted were brought before the public by a proper appeal great good might result, for if the war should continue it can be much more effectively conducted than it has been up to this date, and with a very diminished expenditure of men and treasure.--I remain, Sir, yours sincerely and much obliged, The - ukase which was addressed at the same time to the Administrative Senate is as follows : "By a manifesto issued to-day we have ordered the execution of the 13th alternate partial levy of recruits in 17 governments of the western half of the empire, and commA.nd therefore-1. This levy i s t o b eg i n on June 13, 1855, and to be ended by July 13, 1855. 2. The money for providing the recruits with uniforms is to be levied on the parties furnishing recruits, according to the amount which those uniforms cost the commissariat de partment,—that is to say, 10 roubles 20 copecs silver. "The military arrangements we have confided to our Minister of War, and the succe , --sful execution and com pletion of this levy within the appointed time we commit to the provident care of the Administrative Senate. A COMMANDER, R.N. HAYOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. Last evening the Rev. R. Boyle gave the fourth of his series of lectures upon the four grandest works of Shaks pere. The subject was the second part of " Macbeth." It is said that there is nothing new under the sun ; and when speaking of criticims and lectures upon our immortal bard, the saying may appear especially truthful ; and yet we venture to think that the Reverend Gentleman has really struck out a Course of lectures quite novel in their form, and very different in their substance from anthing of the kind that has of late years been submitted for public ap probation. We have had lectures upon the morality, upon the historical accuracy, upon the philosophy of Shakspere; lectures upon his female characters, upon his kings and queens, upon his heroes ; lectures, in fine, in almost end less variety, upon the quarto and folio editions, upon the re:l readings, upon the reputed corruptions of his, plays. But we koow of no lectures which combine so happily, as Mr. Boyle's lectures do, the useful with the pleasing, the instructive with the agreeable, the critical and the pro. found with the light and fanciful. He addresses himself at once to the eye, to the" imagination, and to the intellect of his audience. Possessing a clear, distinct, flexible,.and remarkably tuneful voice, andbeing a perfect elocutionist, the remarks -and illustrations, with which he varies his sea era readings, show him to be a deep thinker upon and a thorough master of his subject. His delivery of and observati. , us upon the second scene of the third act, evi dently took his hearers by surprise. It is a scene of no re markable notoriety, as exhibited upon the stage ; and yet the picture he 'presented of two miserable creatures, bus band and wife, seeking to sooth each other's sorrows, and to pour the balm .of consolation into each other's aehing hearts, was one of the grandest conceptions of the vaiole lec ture. We anticipate muah pleasure from his two lectures upoii " Hamlet," 'announCed to take place next Tuesday and Thursday. "ALEXANDER. " St. Petersburg, May 6, 1855." We have - received the St. Petersburg journals of of the 11th ihst. THE NAVVIES'SMNT OUT TO THE CRIHEA. The Invalide Russe publishes the following : "Aidv-de-Camp General Prince Glrticuakotf has sent, via Kieff, the following despatch, dated Sebastopol, April 26 (6th May) - " From the 21st to the 24th April (31 t') 6th May), the enemy was chiefly occupied with increasing his bat teries, and strengthening the epaulments of his ap proaches against bastion 5. His heaviest fire was di rected azairst that halation and against bastion 4, and the Seliughinsk and Volhynia redoubt; but we replied with success. " Moreover, on the night between the 21st and 224 April (3d to 4th May) the enemy fired two mines to unite his former entonnoirB, but that operation can=ed us no damage; on our side we annoyed the ene'ny with smoke balls on different points of his eraonnoirs "On the night between the 234 and 24th (sth and 6th May) a successful little sortie waq made from the third section of lines of defence, in which we took an English officer and three men prisoners ; within these few days our fire blew up three of the enemy's powder magazines. - Sir S. M. Peto, accompanied by Mr. Taylor, solicitor, of Furnivars-inn, waited upon Mr. Arnold, at the West minster Police-court, in reference to a statement made in this court by a man named Howard, one of the " navvies" sent out to the Crimea. From the explanations given by Mr. Taylor, it ap peared that Howard, with others, left England on the 19th of December, in the Prince of Wales, but, owing to his having been guilty of robbing some of the men of their clothes, he was tried by a naval court-martial on board the Queen, in Beycos Bay, and, having been con victed, was ordered to be sent home. Tyson and Noble, two other navvies, were convicted by the court of the same offence. In consequence of this conviction alone had an end been put to their contract. Howard had not been allowed to do any work at Balaklava on the railway, and was not entitled to any wages in connection there with ; so that his statement on that head was quite groundless: The firm had considered the three men en ctlod to their wages up to the time of their conviction— s. from the 19th of December to the 31st of January. Money had been paid for theib in London, in ignor ance of their misconduct on their passage out ; and Howard had in all received 10/. 55., and had there fore been overpaid 15s. When the three convicted men reached Balaklava, Sir Edmund Lyons said that they - might be allowed to go on with their work if Mr. Beatty thought proper ; but Mr. Beatty and a ' committee formed of the principal officers of the engineer ing, transport, and other departments, decided that it would be very injudicious to employ convicted felobs with the other workmen, and so determined that they should be sent back to England. Besides the felony spoken of, the men under notice had been guilty of drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and had been ordered to be sent home on that account also. Mr. Tay lor then put in the most convincing documentary evidence to support the statement thus made, and at the same time read an extract from resolutions of the officeri' committee at Balaklava, showing that the porter was to be had three times a week at cost price by any man applying for it. , Mr. Arnold said that after the statement made be was perfectly satisfied, and of course should not think of granting a summons. He was sorry Sir Samuel had been put to the trouble of attending. ' "In the evening of the 21st of April (May 3) a por tion of the enemy's fleet stood out to sea with troops on board, estimated at from 10,000 to 15,000 men, with the intention of effecting a landing. Oa the following day the squadron passed Yalta, taking, it was presumed, the direction of Anapa." GENERAL CAN.ROBERT'S ORDER OF TEE . DAY. The following order, dated May 2, has been published on the affair of the Ist inst. by General Canrobert "The Ist corps has just added a glorious action to those which hare already. honoured ou r arms i n thi s campaign. The enemy had established in front of our attacks on the left a series of fortified posts, which they had connected together most solidly, and which seri ously menaced our wori- s nearest the town. The whole was defended by several battalions. In, the night of the 1-t this work was attached by three columns of our men, formed of the 46th of the Line under Colonel Gault, and detachments from the Ist Regiment of the Foreign Legion, and from the 43d, 790, 42.1, and 98th of the Line, under the orders of General de Sallee, seconded by Generals Ba zaine and de la M. , ttereuge. These troops advanced with great spirit, and ultimately forced the enemy back into the town ; and the engineering departm en t, under Colonel Guerin, worked with such vigour as to ensure their definitive establishment in the enemy's work, from which they carried away the guns with which it was armed. Colonel Viennot, of the Ist Regiment of the Foreign Legion, died gloriously sword in hand at the head of his regiment. I have to thank the generals, officers: and soldiers, for their ad mi rabl e.c.induct in this affair. I thank, in particular, Gen. Pelissier, in command of the let corps, for the able arrangements with which he prepared the result just obtained. This day, the enemy, seconded by their artillery, attempted to re cover the ground which they had lost, but their efforts proved fruitless before the gallantry of our soldiers and the skilful fire of our artillery. " CANBOBERT.” DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, May 13.—The sitting of the Coun bciyl othfeSKtatieng, wasconN'e not, ne a dyes s te g rd en ay er , a a l n ly d p supposed, dover for the purpose of discussing the electoral law for the new combined parliament of the nation, but on a subject of much deeper importance for Denmark— the question of peace or war. The British and French envoys have received instructions to com municate to the Daniih cabinet that their Govern ments can no longer acknowledge the neutrality of Denmark, but insist in the most serious manner. on her declaring openly as a friend or foe. Telegraphic accounts received from Stockholm state that the ambassadors of the Western Powers have presented a similar categorical demand in the shape of an ultimatum to the Swedi s h G overn ment, in consequence of which the militia (bevering) has been ordered to be mobilised. As every Swede be tween the ages of 20 and 25 years is enrolled in the Levering, and bound to serve, this arm of the ser vice numbers no less than 93,295 men, to which . must be added the militia of Gothland, which has' is own local corps, amounting to 7,620 men ; so that the effect of the order for mobilisation will be and the so-called u l la o r o,oo ar O my men under arms, in a to d d p i l t a i c o e n u to pw t a h r e ds re o g f Indelta troops, numbering together 40,000 men. THE BALTIC. - The Independanee Beige publishes the following letter, datecUlamburg, 14th inst. : " The French squadron, under Rear-Admiral Penaud, which was seen on the 12th in the Kattegat, passed on the 13th before'Nyborg, and shortly afterwards anchored in the port of Kid. The squadron consisted of the three strew liners- -Tourville, 90 guns ; Auster!itz, 100 ; and Dlquesne, 90; and the steam corvette D'Assas, 16. The Admiral had hoisted his flag in the Tourville.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 7.—General la Marmora, the Commander-in-Chief of the Sardinian contin gent, arrived here on the 6th. The French camp of Malask is to be rased, and the troops conveyed to Eupatoria, where the allies intend to concen trate a force of 100,000 men, and march them into the interior, or, if possible, invest the north of Se bastopol. The Sultan was very anxious to review the Sardinian troops, and even expressed a desire to this effect to General la Marmora, but the exigencies of the day decided it otherwise. PIE DMONT. The anniversary of the Constitution was cele brated at Turin with . the usual pomp on the 12th. The King, accompanied by the Prince of Carignan, the Minister of War, and other officers of state, proceeded to the cathedral on horseback, and was greeted by the people with loud acclamations. PORTUGAL. LIVERPOOL, MAY 18. The Mich() steamer has brought news from Lis bon of the 12th inst., at which date the packet cf the 7th from Southampton had not arrived out. The French steamers Newton and Phcenix were the only vessels of war in the Tagus. The Spanish corvette Luisa Fernauda passed the Lisbon bar on the 11th, steering north. The olives and vines about Lisbon show great abundance of blossom, but symptoms of disease are again becoming general atiang the vines. The King Regent had gone with the Duke de Nemours to hunt at Mafra, and the King Don Pedro had so far recovered from the measles as to fix the 20th for his departure for France. The Minister of Finance has gone to Coimbra in order to inspect the new road, and the arrange ment for starting the mail post-diligences, which are to commence running daily between that place and the capital after the lot of June. There was no political n ws at Lisbon, and the Cortes were likely to be closed at the end of the month. RELGIUM. The Chamber of Representatives of Belgium has just adopted a bill for grantiPg a supplementary credit of 1,571,000 f. to the War Department, to make up for the insufficiency of the budget, for supplying food to the troops and horses arising from existing dearness. The Chamber has also decided that the bill for according a credit of 9,400,000 f. for the execution of defensive works in Belgium, shall be taken into consideration at the same tithe as that, previously presented, de manding 2,435,000±. for the same_ object. ITALY. A letter from.itome of the 10th, in the Unicers, says—" The ceremony of laying the first stone of the monumental column, intended to perpetuate the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, took place with great pomp three days back. Cardinal Fransoni, notwithstanding his great age, presided. An immense concourse of persons were assembled, and everything passed over very satisfactorily. The Pope left Rome on the 7th for Castel Gandolfo, where his Holiness will remain until Ascension Day. It is said that he will go from Castel Gandolfo to Porto d'Azzio to give his benediction to the chapel, which he purchased two years ago. It, is also rumoured that the King of Naples will join the Holy Father there." A MERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 18. The United States' mail steamship St. Louis, Captain Wotton, arrived off Southampton this afternoon on her way to Havre, with dates from New York to the sth inst., 30 passengers for Eng land, and 61 for Havre. The liquor excitement was increasing rapidly throughout the United States, ani in all the cities and large towns the liquor dealers were organising associations to test the legality of the prohibitory law. Mr. Fabens, one of the chief promoters Of the Kinney Nicaragua Expedition, was arrested in Washington on the 2d instant for an alleged at tempt to violate the neutrality laws. He was bound over in the sum of $lO,OOO to answer the charge. A correspondent of the New Orleans Bee, writ ing from Mexico, states that Santa Anna was so seriously ill that he was not expected to live. In the Boston Legislatur e , Governor Gardner's veto of the Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad Bill was sustained. All vessels loading , guano at no islands of the Mexican Republic are prohibited from shooting birds on them, under a penalty of $5O for each offence. A new bridge recently erected over the Passaic river fell while being tested. There were about 30 persons on, the bridge at the time it gave way, the most of whom were precipitated into the water. Two persons were somewhat injured, and others are missing. The mayors of several cities in Maine had issued proclamations, directing the rigid enforcement of the liquor law. The United States' mail steam-ship Black Warrior, with advices from Havannah to the 28th ult., arrived at New York on the 3d inst . '. The corresponlent of the New York Herald states that General Concha had carried his feelings of vin dictiveness towards the memory of the late - Ramon Pinto so far as to refuse the request of the family of the deceased to permit his remains to be depo sited in one of the niches of the Campo Santo. Four persons named Renny, Cromrey, Parkins, and Schumacher have been arrested at New York for enlisting soldiers for the Crimea. They were committed for examinaticn. Several fires had taken place in various towns in America ; among others, property valued at $40,000 had been destroyed at New York. The St. Louis Intelligencer contains an article expressing a full belief in the existence cf abundant gold deposits at the source of the Arkansas river. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the New York Courier and Inquirer.) NEW YORK, M a y 4.--We do not futd any unfavour able effect produced upon our ()lin market by the infor mation that the public debt of England is to be increased 23 millions sterling. The stock market for the week shows no serious decline. The leading fancies are well sustained. State loans are in better demand at a slight advance. Foreign exchange is dull. We quota London 100 to 1001 ; Paris, 5.111 to 5.15 ; Amsterdam, 41i to 41i ; Hamburg, 36' to 37 ; Bremen, 79i to 79/. COTTON.—The market has been firm during the week, with sales up to last evening of 15.000 bales. The sates to-day amounted to about 2,000 bays, sold chiefly before receipt of the Atlantic's advices. Spinners, who are generally bare of stock, bought the principal part of what was sold. Good qualities are very scarce and daily dearer. The business to-day was at 9ic. for middling uplands, and 10c. for Mobile. FLOUR.—The trade are in light stock, and, as we are now so near the commencement of canal navigation, they purchase ohly for immediate wants. GRAIN.—For wheat there is a fair inquiry, but millers are unwilling to purchage at present rates, and the mar ket is inactive, and prices a few cents lower. MARSEILLES, MAY 17.---One hundred pieces of the battering train ordered to be shipped for the Crimea, are collected at the artillery ground near the port of the Joliette. They consist of heavy cannon and huge mor tars. A telegraphic despatch has further commanded that 25,000,000 ball cartridges he forthwith despatched to the army before Sebastopol, being 250 rounds for 100,000 men. Several ambulance carriages of very superior construction have arrived here for embarkation for the Crimea. A hogshead of hardware, in which revolvers and pistols were concealed, was seized by the authorities at llull on Wednesday. It was at the Humber Dock, ready for shipment in the Hamburg :steamer. The quantity was small.—Hu4 packet, ,COURT _CIRCULAR. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prin cess of Hoheulohe-Langeubuiw and the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, took a drive in an open carriage and four in the afternoon. The Equerries in Waiting were on horseback.

In the' evening the Queen gaik a concert ; in which the Royal family, the Foreign Ministers, and a party of the no bilit7 and gentry were invited. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at half- Past 9 o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge, the Princess Mary, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and the Duke of Cambridge were also present: His Highness Maharabjah Duleep Singh was attended by Sir J.

The Green Drawing Room was appropriated for refresh ments between the parts of the concert and during the even ing. At the conclusion of the performance her Majesty and her distinguished guests retired to the State Dinner Room, where supper was served. ALEXANDRIA. May 9.—Said Pasha, the Viceroy, is now turning his attention to the formation of the long desired railroad between Cairo and Suez, a distance of 84 miles, which, when completed, .will be of immense advantage and comfort to the overland communication with India. His Highness intends to employ' the French engineers now in his seriice in making the levels, which will pre , elif but little difficulty, and will bring out the rails from England. Said Pasha has shown that he possesses considerate energy and activity, and it is to be hoped, thairwhen be shall have once made up his mind to carry_ out this work it will be none without delay. THE i.E81" . :Y.-ITTC. ) ,,V OP AIVTICIP,AILD RECALL t' +' Lu 1J RAGLAN. The Paris correspondent of the Times, his I.tter_reoeiv_ed thisafternoon, says : " The malady under which it has been for some 'Odle :said that._ General Canrobert is suffering-is in flammation of the eyes. But this is not, perhan the only or the real'eause of his retirement, as such a malady ought equally to disqualify him for the command of a corps d'armee. A man whose health is so far impaired as we are given to understand by the foregoing, ought not to continue in the coirmand of even a brigade in active service, much less a corps d'armee. The fact is,, that General Canrebert has been found unequal to his position ; the Be: peror, ho appointed him to succeed Marshal St. Artiand, has for some time past perceived hth mistake, and the rumour - -of ill-health which has prevailed for some weeks is believed to have been circulated ex pressly to prepare the public for his removal. So soon as it became known that General Pelissier was !mined:to a command in the Crimea it was, antici pated that Canrobert's time was nearly up. , Pelis-ier's name has been long before the world. He is not said to have given many proofs of possessing the higher qualities of a great commander, but fur. daring, fer tility of invention in surprises, and indomitable cou rage, he is unsurpassed. It was he who planned and strongly 'urged the affair of the night of - the 2d, which Lai such a fortunate result. His manner is said, however, to be anything but gentle ; he is a rough soldier, and is careless about practising those courtesies which made Catirobert Stand so well with Lord Raglan. I have no doubt that General Peiis sier has been strongly recommended to treat his gentler confrere with- all due deference, and he will do his best to continue on good terms with his lord ship. Bitt a camp life in the African deserts is dif ferent from the quiet routine of the H ,, r3e Guards, and some, who pretend to 'be well acquainted with General Pelissier, would not be surprised if the English Government found it nece,sary before long to recall Lord Raglan. The appointment of Pelissier is under stood here as an indieetion that something more than usually vigorous is-intended. "Thera is a rumour regarding the resignation of Can robed, which is certainly in harmony with his chival rous character. It is this—that, having received au imperative order to assault, he replied that it would cost 40,000 lives—that he would not, accordingly, take on himself the responsibility of such an order, but that he was ready to transfer the command to another, and place himself at the head of the body doomed to be sacrificed." WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of (Ms day.) • LitEDs, May 18.— We have no alteration of any :n3por tance to report, in the state of the wooll en mar k e t. There a has been good business done in the cloth-halls this week. On Saturday, as well as on Tuesday, the markets were of an animated character, and although there was not quite so much cloth cleared out as on the previous week, still the sales were quite equal to a full average. There have also been considerable deliveries of cloth direct at the merchants' warehouses during the week. As the demand for the spring trade of the home markets is now nearly satisfied, there have been very few buyers in the town, and the trade in the warehouses has been rather quieter during the current week. The shipping houses are doing oniy a very limited business. HUDDERSFIELD, May 15.—The market today was somewhat le.s buoyant than on the preceding Tuesday. The protracted cold weather may have checked the de mand for the usual spring goods. There is on the whole, however, taking the warehouses and cloth halls together, an average demand for back broad cloths of the best and mediae) qualities ; kerseys, unions, and novel pat ters of fancy woollens. Fancy ye tings continue in dull request. Thera is more activity in the wool busi ness, and prices are without any material change. STATE OF TRADE. (PrcAz the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANatEpTEß,:lFriday, May 18.—During the last day or two both.the hone and f,reign buyers have mani 'ested some increase of confidence, in the advanced prices required for yarns. They have shown it, partly in a willingness to purchase inure largely at the advance of last week than they were disposed to do either then, or even on Tuesday, and partly in such a spirit of compromise with the further rise of the present week as was scarcely observable three days ago. They are rather more willing to meet sellers. There is, therefore,,soine augmentation of business, on somewhat higher' terms. BRADFORD, May 1/.—Wool—The colonial sales now progressing. in London are going on as Spiritedly as at the opening, and prices are realised satisfactory to the importers. In English w, , 01s of nearly all kinds the market is very scantily supplied, and with the con tinued purchasing of long wool for clothing as well as worsted purposes, it is moved into consumption as fact as it conies to hand, and prices are more active. = Yarns : This department of the trade continues bad, in asmuch as the pribe of wool more than keeps pace with the current rate for yarns, and higher prices must be realised, or there will be no iiicreaso in the production. Yarns fur home use and for Lancashire on the spools, continue in request. LEICESTER, May 17.—Our market presents a rather more encouraging aspect. The extreme caution used by manufacturers in producing has prevented any very heavy stock from accnrnnlating, and considering the long continuance of a flat trade, but few job goods have been forced into it. THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.—To-day being appointed for the celebtation of her Majesty's birthday, when our most Gracioui Sovereign will have completed her 36th year, the public offices; with the exception of the General Post-office, were closed. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired double Royal salutes, and there was an inspection of the Artill. ry, Marines, and Militia, on Woolwich-common, by which corps three volleys were fired. As custimary, the several pur veyors and manufacturers to the Royal household will dine together. In the evening the Theatres Royal, the clubhouses, and the establishments of her Majesty's trr.desmen, will be, brilliantly illuminated. THE PAurs UNIVERSAL EXIIIBITION.—PARTS, MAY 17.—1 n spite of the bad weather y esterday, 1,700 persons paid at the doors, the receipts being about 8,000 francs, or 3201. To day, the fête of the Assumption, thole have been more season tickets and more general visitors in the building than yesterday. It has been notified that the introduction of the Go vernment measure on the law of partnership will posi , tively take place on or before Friday next, the 25A1 inst. The Royal mail steamer Atrato, which has just sailed for the West Iddies and the Pacific, takes out 7,0001. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Madrid has also left with 36:152/ , principally for Lisbon and Oporto. THE REPAIR OF BLAORFRIARS BRlDC4E.—Yesterday, at a Court of Common Council, Mr. Thomas White rought up a report from the Bridge-bowie Committee, stating that, pursuant to the order of the Court of the 7th of December last, they bad obtained an estimate of the expense of repairing Blaekiriars-bridge, arommting to the sum of t'q,soo/. A long discussion took place, several of the members being of opiioion that it Was not at all desirable to pitch up the old bridge as proposed, especially at such a costly rate as the report recom mended. Ultimately, on the motion of Mr D ...Jersey, it was resi.lv,!d tqat the report be priote and circulated amongst the members of the c THE • OPENING OF THE NEW METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET POSTPONED.—Yesterday at a Cuurt of Common Council, Mr. H. L. Tayh.r, chairman of the Markets improvement Committee stated that his Royal Highness Prince Albert had conserved t he present at the open ing of the New Metropolitan Cattle Market. The Ist of June next—the day named by the committee for ,the opening—would not, however, suit the convenience of the Prince, and tl,ierefire no posisive time for the cere mony could be fixed ; bet the day would be as early as' could be'arranged.. Mr. Taylor further stated that the . bye-laws, prepared by the corporation for the regulation, of the market, had received the sanction of the Secretary of State, and would be immediately published for the information of the trade and the public generally. The commercial accounts from India by the overland mail are rather less unfavourable, since, although there has been continued inactivity at Bombay, eith a tend ency to a,further decline in the prices of manufactured goads, the pressure in the Calcutta money-market which. prevailed at the previous dates has experienced con -iderable mitigation. Still the quotations of all securi ties showed a great depreciation as compared with those existing before the Government, by their announce ment of a 5 per cent. loan, plunged everything into panic ; and no recovery, however rapid, can compensate the. bsses of those who were forced. to effect realisations during the height of the alarm. At present the tendency tis recovery was increased' by the prospect 'of a better demand for imported goods on the part of the native dealers. With regard to. the export trade, caution eontinued to be _exercised in the shipment of substitutes E'er Rte=eian produce, the recollection being still vivid of the lasses sustained last year through the deceptive announcements of the home Government as to the enforcement of a strict blockade. ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM. —A meeting is to be held in Mincliestek, and a circular has been issued by the committee for organising the movement, which says :-- "It heciirries every rig - lit-minded man to deolare, in the most emphatic manner, that it is inconsistent with . the interests of the nation that the administration of its affairs should be usurped by a few great families. As it is the interest of the -cnmmunity at large' that the present system of corruption; favouritism, and family influence should be speedily and for ever abolished, so it is the dirty of every elector, and of every true citizen, to aid in the introduction of the energy, fidelity, an) responsibility of private manageme,t into' the almihis .tration of public affairs. By a vigor, us expression of public opinion it will be impossible that our present Minie try, or any other which may succeed it, can long remain ignorant of the determination of the people ; but, ailed' by the national will, and in accordance with their own true instincts, they will immediately inatiemate an ad ministrative system more in harmony with the intelli gence of the people, and more consistent with the high character and mighty interests of the nation."
