INACTIVITY OF THE ALLIED GENERALS. (From the Times of this day.) The last accounts from the Crimea allow us to entertain a belief that the condition of the troops is materially improves. The fire of the Russian batteries on the heights of Balaklava opened on the 13th, but without effect, for the enemy was routed by the British troops, assisted by a French division ; and four days later, when the Russians attacked the whole line of the allies, they were driven back with great loss, and victory thus marks the opening of the second campaign. We accept for all they are worth these indications of an improve ment in the aspect of our affairs, and we heartily wish that we could extend these encouraging prognostications to all the circumstances of our present military position. But neither the last public despatches from the allied camps nor the private comntunications we receive from numerous authentic sources are of a nature to heighten our confidence, and we cannot but regard with considerable anxiety the inert character of our ope rations at a moment which appears to us to be in the highest degree critical. The object of exposing the troops of the allied armies to the hardships of a winter passed among the bleak hills and deep ravines before Sebastopol was to enable them to take effectual advantage of the first return of the dry season, and especially of that interval during which the Rus sians must still be cut off from their reinforcements. We are unwilling to prejudge the conduct of the allied Generals; we hope that the successful engagement of the 17th of March may speedily he followed by more decisive results ; but it is impossible not to remark that of late all the originality and enterprise shown in these operations has been on the side of the Russians, while the French and English armies seem con demned by their commanders to remain on the defensive within their lines, Yet their numbers are reported to be not far short of 120,000 men—a force amply sufficient to under take with success two or three distinct operations of war upon a scene of action so contracted as the south of the Crimea, in presence of an enemy not now superior in numbers, while we ourselves have abundant means of transport to every part of the coast. The army at Eupatoria might be so rein forced as to enable it to take the field ; an expedition might be detached on Kaffa, so as to take the Russian positions in the rear, and destroy their magazines ; a strong reconnais sance might advance to the Belbek, or force the passes of Balder ; or, lastly, the whole strength of the armies might be coneentrated on the siege. It would be presumptuous in-us to attempt to determine which of these courses all the cir cumstances of the case render expedient, but we speak from high military authority when we say that one or more of these operations must be attempted, unless we are prepared for a termination of this enterprise hardly less inglorious than that of the Athenians against Syracuse. The same want of com mand which was so fatally perceptible in the arrangements for the winter encampment of the army, and in all that re lated to the stores, the hospitals, and the port of Balaklava, now begins to manifest itself in the preparations of the army for the field; and we learn that our gallant allies, whose troops are numerous and well prepared for war, view with great surprise and some discouragement the inactivity of their own chief. The prosecution of the siege has for many months been regarded, with reason, as the primary duty of the army. The approaches directed against the southern side of the town of Sebastopol have been pushed forward with infinite labour and perseverance ; batteries have been constructed and armed with new guns of heavy calibre ; and an immense supply of projectiles and ammunition has been transported from the harbours to the front of the lines. The day on which the fire of the besieging armies would re-open on the place has been repeatedly named and impatiently expected. Yet it would seem that some doubts are still entertained of the result of this attack, and still graver uncertainty prevails as to the pos sibility of the assault by which it was to be followed. The Russians, on the other side, have displayed extraordinary energy and skill in extending the defences of the place. No sooner was one portion of their works menaced by a battery, though as yet unmasked, than they found means to establish another redoubt so as to command our guns. The seizure and fortification of the right bank of the Careening Harbour is described as au act of singular boldness and judgment on the part of the enemy, for the troops which hold that position are separated from their base of operations by a deep and impassable ravine ; yet the attempt to dis lodge them from it was unsuccessful, that attempt was not repeated, and, as this point remains in the hands of the Russians, it materially interferes with the projected attack on the Malakhoff Tower Lord Raglan writes that the besieged forces are bringing forward their advanced works with great activity, and that the roads on the northern side of the place are covered with stores of food and munitions of war, which he cannot intercept. Yet we hear of no attempt from the 23d of February to the 10th of March to check these formidable demonstrations, and to avail ourselves of the superiority of the allied armies. We can only infer that in the opinion of the council of war the dangers of such an operation outweigh its probable advantages. But if the siege operations, properly so called, are reduced to this inactive condition, the greater is the motive to resort to other means of attack. If our lines are extensive and diffi cult to guard, the concentric lines occupied by the Russians b yond our outposts must be still mare so, and General Osten-Sacken is, moreover, compelled to watch with a consi derable part of his army the intrenched position of the Turks, at Eupatoria. Moreover, we now learn that the attack on Balaklava and our lines has failed. It is stated, pro bably with truth, that fresh Russian divisions are attempting to advance from the Dnieper to Perekop, but that they have been stopped in their march by the melting of the snow on the steppes they have to traverse. The country iu the Cri mea is, on the contrary, already favourable to the movement of armies, and we have reason to believe that, without mate rially weakening the forces required to protect the works, it would be practicable for general- .tiosilaut, .D.rate, with 30,000 mon on the 13elbck, while Sir Colin Campbell might advance with a considerable force towards the East. The moral condition of the army, its confidence in its chiefs, and in the ultimate success of the enterprise, would be powerfully revived by a movement of this nature, and the military rea sons must be extremely strong which as yet deter the gene rals from attempting it. Our political interests at the pre sent juncture equally demand some further proof of the un abated power of the army to enforce the terms we are endeavouring to dictate at Vienna, for the language of our diplomacy and the policy of other nations are of course mate rially affected by the attitude of our troops. The troops only require to be led against the enemy: Their. true safety lies in their power of attack, and in the hands of a general of enterprising and original genius the fate of Sebastopol would be determined outside its walls. rn , - _-e_- ..: .. , . .... ,101044 / • ... ••• , , t i4l .- -;.. -_:` • •••f tt r . •„...-;..,; . •••••.„'ftt • - ' , ..4', " f . . . _ ~ :;,:-''.,:'. - . . --' • .. , _O9) A i s „.._ , _ 1-,,4 ,-.,--,, ..t.. ~-. ..,1,.07 , l' H, .... j ::. 1--- -.----• '''' 1 Ak , %Of . , ''• .'lr.:4 'A. 1:::?'

He cannot have given ten sainutes to the previous question—what an article in a news paper really is. It is necessarily more or less the result of private discussion, in which people become acquainted with one another's views, and, to a certain extent, modify the ex pression of their own, with a view to a combined and, as much aEsipOssible, harmonious result. The name of Thomp son.or Smith at the foot of au article which the said Thomp son or Sinith would write probably in a very different style, or more probably would not publish at all, but for their com bination in a newspaper, would convey an untruth. Of course, when M. Kossuth', or Sir B. Lytton, or Mr. Douglas Jerrold, or anybody else, gives his name as the editoi• and writer, we understand it to be a weekly pamphlet or speech, and we read it accordingly as we listen to our Sunday ser mon. In the vise of the ordinary British newspaper it is ont2iciently understood that there is a certain oeutre of com munication open to all parties, that letters of advice and in formation pour iu upon the editor, that he is the medium of communication to the writers, 'who have to thank him for suggestions 'which he, under these circumstances, alone can give, and that, at least, they avoid so much singularity or personality of opinion as to impair the general effect, and shut out the other contributors. Sir B. Lytton wishes to destroy this system; which, indeed, is the essence of British journalism, and substitute the egotistical speculations of certain known, or more probably unknown, writers. Mr. Drummond seems to aim at the same conclu sion, when he very unwarrantably obtrudes on the house some names which he may possibly have heard or read some where in some gossippiug correspondence as connected with this paper. Mr: Drummond happily is not himself a repre sentative of public opinion, or even common sense, though he may be of a certain eccentric humour and mysterious spiri tuality ; so his suggestions on this point and his opinions as to the position . of, the British press will be received only at their proper value. The house, however, will do well to ob serve that there does exist a desire in some quarters to de stroy newspapers as . organs of public opinion, and degrade theth into the vehicles of Messrs. A. B. and C. It knows too well the necessity-of a free public opinion to its own existence to sacrifice that foundation to the indulgence of an idle curi osity.. • . - . - ' fired off.

Last night, the point at issue was not so much the propriety of abolishing the stamp, as that' of bringing forward the subject at all until the Chancellor of the Exchequer has made his financial state ment. The British public is certainly a strange mixture of liberality and churlishness. We throw away millions, and make as much fuss about a few thousand pounds a year as if the national treasury were empty. We are almost ashamed to record the fact that a considerable portion of the House of Commons would absolutely refuse to erform an act of ac knowledged justice for the sole reason that it might cost the country something short of 200,0001. a-year. What happened only last night ? The Government has lately concluded an alliance with the King of Sardinia—the conditions being that the Sardinian Government is to send out an army of 15;000 men to the Criniea, and that we are to advance a million a year for the expenses that will be incurred. Some objection indeed was made to lending a large sum of money, which may possibly never be repaid, and the Tories, to do them justice, protested against what looks very like a return to the perni cious policy of subsidies. But the thing was done without a murnitr. It was quite pleasant t 3 witness the alacrity with which our representatives voted away a million of next year's, taxes. No sooner had this been done than Mr. Deedes rose and objected gravely to the immediate abolition of the news paper stamp, lest the Chancellor might not be able to spare a fifth part of that sum from the revenue. Poor Sir Francis Baring was petrified at the irregularity of the proceeding. There are some men, we suppose, who are so attached to the " established order," that they would sooner see the country go to wrack and ruin than sanction the slightest change in official routine. Once, too, when Sir Francis held a subordi nate position in'the Government, an indiscretion of this kind happened to lead to some rather serious consequences. The memory of this disaster has haunted him ever since. It has pursued him through life as the insect pursued 10, and has now driven him into a course of policy which simply contra dicts every previous act of his political history. So much for the financial side of the question. It is ex tremely doubtful whether the revenue will not benefit, in stead of suffer, from the change in the stamp law. But we think it perfectly monstrous to allow any considerations of probable loss to interfere with the * enactment of a law whose justice is so obvious. Sir Lytton Balwer, in a speech of surpassing eloquence, had the honesty and the courage to desert his piety banner, and to stand forth as the champion of an unfettered press. It is positively ludicrous to read the whining complaints put forth from week to week by persons who seem to think that the character of the British press depends upon the payment of a penny to the revenue for every copy that is sold. It is the old story. As it was very properly put by more than one speaker last night, every man wants protection for himself, and denies it to his neighbour. Talk of inconsistency? Why here are a score of papers that a few years ago were hunting protection to the death, and triumphing over its final anni hilation, now beseeching the House of Commons to defend them against competition. No. Let us make a clean breast of it at once. As public journalist:, W 3 perform great ser vices, we gather an enormous mass of information, and, pre 'tend to instruct our neighbours, but we still aro human, fallible, and iucousistent. We must refer our readers to the admirable speech of Sir Lytton Bulwer for a crushing reply to what we can only call the trash that has been uttered as to the possible deterioration of the press in case the new bill should pass into law. Why should the press deteriorate ? The most . probable result of Sir Cornewall Lewis's measure will -be, *hut itteiee3-.4-ouseiriass.44 d'AitYleevisPaPere we shall have two, and the rich will buy the more exDensive one, while the poor will have a supply equal to their demand. Statesmen must have a low opinion of the intellectual condi tion of their countrymen if they think that-persons who have been accustomed to daily journals, conducted as most of them are at present, will be content with an inferior article; and the masses, as they are called, must bo in a lamentable con dition if every cheap thin; that is sold must perforce be also nasty." No paper that fails to furnish news will live for a single day. There will be class journals of every kind, but any journal professing to do what the morning papers do now must be conducted as they are, or die. All we ask is, that no legislation shall •stand between us and the public, The price of our commodity will be regulated as easily as the price of corn was on the abolition of the duty. For ourselves we really don't want the few pennyworths of daily protection that we are supposed to derive from the existing law. We wish to be in the same position as other merchants, and to make our own bargain with our customers, whether they be the public or the Government. As for the cheap and pira tical newspapers with which we are threatened, the Attor ney-General last night expressed his opinion that the exist ing law of copyright is sufficiently strong to protect us against any injury of that kind. But if these hopes should turn out to be false, the same House of Commons which has decided to give full freedom to the press can surely enact a new law to meet any emergency that may arise.OWe do not think that, so long as the British press maintains its present character, or, rather, grows with the growth of years, ex• parading and advancing with the resources and demands o f the country, any man of sense will wish to destroy its power, We have no desire to encroach upon the duties of our rulers, except, indeed, so far as the greatest statesman is he who most faithfully expounds the public ouiuion of his time. We have our own work to perfoem, and are by no means anxious 'to do more than to collect information from every quarter of the globe, and to pursue it with faithful comments. Let the public judge of us by our works. We are very certain that in our case, as in the case of every other department ca human labour, our success will be in proportion to our effi ciency. The House of Commons has now, by a considerable majority, acknowledged the principle for which we contend, and it is to be hoped that not many days will elapse before the press is set free from those restrictions which have hither to done so much to thwart its legitimate influence, and have , at least made that tie privilege of the few which ought to be the possession of the many. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The fleet at Spithead was augmented in force yesterday by the arrival of the Colossus, 81, Captain Robinson, from Devonport ; and the Centaur, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Clifford, from Portsmouth harbour. Signal was made by the Commander-in-Chief yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock, for all the ships to unmoor, in order to take up new berths, and at half-past 10 Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane went out in the Fire Queen tender and hoisted hs flag on board the Nep tune, 120, Captain Hutton, whioh skip immediately weighed, in tow of the Bulldog paddle-sloop, and took up her appointed position. The remainder of the fleet took up their berths in succession ; the St. George, 120, towed by the Dragon paddle frigate; and the Calcutta, 84, by the Driver, paddle-sloop. Sir Thomas Cochrane rehoisted his flag on the Fire Queen at half-past 2, and returned to Portsmouth. The fleet is now spread over a large length of water, in two lines, starboard and port, with an outer line formed by the Paddle-steamers. The lines are moored. N.W. by W., and S.R. by E., the ships ranged two cables' length apart, a nd the li nes one ca bl e ' s length between. The flag-ships Duke of Wellington and Exmouth appear the centre ships open with Portsmouth har bour. Two paddle steamers (one at each ext rem it y ) are moored at either end of the line-of-battle ships, forming an advance guard—the Dragon half a mile N.W. by W . from t h e Neptune, and the Odin half a mile N.W. by W. f rom the St. George. _ _ _ The James Watt, Hastings, and Pembroke are still in har boil.; meanwhile the Colossus has moored in the place of the Hastings. • A letter from the advanced squadron of the Baltic flee{ dated the Downs, 24th inst., says— " We, the advanced squadron, aro under orders, received this afternoon, not to quit this anchorage until th e w i nd shifts to the southward ; it is now blowing 'from th e north, with o ccasional showers of sleet.

The Esk arrived the following morn ' rug, and the Archer anchored this morning. The Orion, 91, screw, Captain Erskine, is still lying up the River Medway, but is expected down to Sheerness on Wed nesday next, when she will take in her powder, coals, &c. Sunday last the victualling department at Sheerness was busily employed shipping provisions for her. We hear she is short-handed, but $OO, it is said, are ready for her at Ports mouth. _. _ .. The Horatio, screw, the Hon. Captain Ceenrane, is still in No. 3 'dry dock, Sheerness. A number of mechanics are working at her early and late. When completed, she will mount two of Nasmyth's patent guns, the diameter of the breach of which is 3 ft. 3 in. ; at the 'nuzzle, 2 ft. 7i in., and carries a shot 3101 b. solid. The space between the foremost and mainmast is cut away—viz., 11 in. in breadth. These guns aro suspended by two chains ; the rollers of the car riages upon which they travel will be some distance above the I upper deck. In consequence of their being suspended by these chains, little or no strain comes upon the deck when THE NEWSPAPER STAMP BILL. ( Front the Times of this day. ) It is the fate of every question discussed in the House of Commons, however simple it may be, however practical, to branch into numerous issues. Every member has his own view, which may or may not be a purely theoretical or fanci ful way of treating the subject. Mr. Deedes selected his financial bearings of the Newspaper Stamp Bill, and he im plored the house to pause before it sacrificed 200,0001. a-year without being sure of an equivalent. Certainly, that is a large sum of money. On Mr. Lindsay's estimate it is a tenth of what has been wasted in The idle detentions and frivolous use of the transports engaged since the beginning of the war. But, after all, the fate of this bill had to be decided on grounds more peculiar to itself, for the real question is how to do jus tice to the Press, how to encourage its freedom and enter prises, and how to render it the greatest possible convenience to the public. It was natural that we should ourselves take a simple view of the matter, and that we should recommend hon. members to regard it as plainly and practically as they could before they finally settled the position of the Press, the most public-spirited and the best managed institution in these realms. Let hon. members take the bill as it stands, let them suppose it to be the law of the land, and then fellow its ope ration,lwe will not say upon ourselves, but upon every paper whatever that does its work well, adthereby attains a cer tain amount of success, and they will see that as soon as the paper has succeeded so far as to give more news and to con tain more advertisements than its contemporaries, it is immediately weighted and hindered in the competition, in order to give all the " torpids" and " slow coaches," and broken-winded jades a better chance with it. That is the case as the law now stands, and it is no slight argument against the bill in its present state that, while it pretends to a permanent settlement of the question, it perpetuates an injustice. But it will be seen fur. ther, that in the event of the London newspapers finding it necessary to throw off the weight, by choosing the alternative of an unstamped issue, which is likely enough, they will im mediately be exposed to the most extensive depredations. Their bulk will exclude them from the post,a while the light fingered and light-bodied gentry that live upon them will pass at small cost through the post, besides having a large provin cial circulation independent of it. The moment the Times or the Morning Herald arrives at the banks of the Mersey or the Clyde, all its precious news, its costly reports, and priceless correspondence from the seat of war, will be seized by the Manchester Pickpocket, the Bury Appropriator, the Birmingham Plunderer, the Liverpool Thief, the Glasgow Burglar, the Paisley Pilferer, or the ,Edinburgh Pirate, aoa the induarieue population of the north will bask in the light of satellites that borrow all our light and give none in return. Can any member of the House of Commons deny that this is the certain result of the bill in its present form ? Can any member say that any London newspaper could stand such continual depredations upon its substance and curtail ment of its circulation? Can any member say that we are not justified in requiring such a measure to be considerably qualified ? The question, then, as we take it, concerns the very prac ticability of a great newspaper, which by dint of exertion, expenditure, orgauisation, and a lengthened experience, shall command the very first intelligence from all parts of the world, and offer such comments upon it as the public may think it worth while to read. That there should be a newspaper or' newspapers of this class is certainly more important to the public than even the 200,000/. a year which iias the object of Mr. Deedes' and Sir F. Baiing's patriotic solicitudes. We think it, too, rather more important than that the Attorney - General should be re leased from the trouble of ascertaining what constitutes a newspaper. Sir B. Lytton has earned our thanks by the very handsome testimony he has given to the conduct of this paper, and to the integrity, candour, and courage of its writers. He avows that he would desire no more lasting memorial of the existing British civilisation than a file of the Times. But, perhaps, he has presumed too much on the supposed impossi bility of suppressing public opinion. After all, public opi nion is not a plant of universal growth. It does not flourish in all climes, and has not long flourished in this. It has been much more hardy since the appearance of our first number, or, to speak in general terms, since the commencement of this century; and nobody can pretend to say that public opi nion, as it now exists in this country, is not intimately asso ciated with the existence and prosperity of its most powerful organs. It is all very well to suppo-e the existence of a thing as a sort of abstract idea in the mind of the people, or as a general feeling, apart from any acts or institutions. But it might so happen that when hon. members had on the one hand, shit the Times out of the post, and on the other ex posed their Gulliver, bound hand and foot, to the attacks of some thousand Lilliputian depredators, they might some day miss the stern, independent, and incorruptible organ of their opinions. Among a crowd of newspapers thoroughly representing with infallible and appreciable accuracy the opinion of Lord This or the Duke of That, of the Country Gentlemen or the Manufacturers, of the Independents or the Latter-day Saints, of the Manchester Econo mists or the Crotchet-work Knitters, they might live to ask in vain for a journal that represented no school, and that did not cultivate a mock consistency by perpetually dishing up afresh the articles of the previous day. As if to illustrate the animus with which this subject is ap proachi.d in some quarters of the house, there were two dis tinct efforts made last night to divest the press of its anony mous character.

THE GAS EXPLOSION AT PORTSMOUTH The late accident by the explosion of gas in the police station in Portimouth dockyard is likely to prove a very serious affair. James Giles, constable, died at half-past 4 on Sunday morning ; he had sustained a fracture of the right thigh, fracture of the bones of both hands, and wound if the eye. He never rallied from the shock. On inquiry yesterday of the medical staff of the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar information was given as to the state of the survivors. Inspector Henry Stroud has sustained a fracture of both legs, is otherwise severely injured, and quite sensible, but pulseless. A consul tation was held on his case yesterday by Dr. Sir John Richardson, C. 8., and Dr. J. Wilson, Medical Inspectors of the Hospital ; Dr. William Lindsay, Deputy Medical Inspector ; Dr. Peter Leonard, Surgeon and Medical Storekeeper of the establishment ; and Assist.-Surgeon Alex. Stuart, when it was resolved that the patient was too weak to sustain an operation, or both legs would be amputated ' • his case appeared hopeless. Thos. Ripley, sergeant, h as sustained severe contusions in various parts of the body ; Constable Wm. Helms, do. ; Daniel Palmer, fracture of the left leg ; Henry Neville, contu sions and fracture of the left foot ; Edward Lane, frac ture of the right leo . ; James Wessell, fracture of the left leg and right thigh a ; Thomas Sydenham, fractures right leg and left ribs. These are all doing as well as the best surgical skill and medical attention can insure. It has been ascertained that the gas escape which led to the above sad calamities arose from the main pipe being broken adjacent to the police-station, whence the gas found its way into a sewer that led under the building, and so made its way beneath the floor of the mess room of the force, to the boards of which one of the men ap plied his light with the view of finding out the position of the escape. It is supposed that the injury to the gaspipe was caused by a massive stone being thrown from a cart at that spot, where the pipes are laid very near the surface. No official inquiry has yet been in stituted, the Dockyard Admiral being absent. The General Screw Company's steamer Argo is to take out to the Crimea 20 officers, 300 troops, and 216 horses. She is to be ready en the 9th of April next. STAMP DUTIES ON Newsrenes.--Deputy Lott is to bring forward the following motion at the next Court of Common Council :—" That this court do petition both Houses of Parliament against the bill introduced by Mr. Gladstone, and intituled, A bill to alter and amend the laws relating to the stamp duties on newspapers, the printing and publishing of newspapers and registration, and giving securities in connection therewith,' the same being of dangerous tendency, inasmuch as, if carried into a law, it will petmit the publication of newspapers with out registration of proprietorship and provision of sure ties' the present security against malicious, seditious , and irreligious libels, piracy of copyright, and abuses of every kind ; and it will increase the responsibility in the press which will deprive injured parties, whoSts character may have been assailed by anonymous writers, of the redress at present afforded by the laws of the country." LORD BLANTYRE'S " COMFORTS" IN THE CRIMEA, — In consequence of complaints as to tho high prices charged for the stores in Lord Blantyre's ships in the Crimea, his lordship has issued the following letter of explanation, dated ;Erskine-house, on Saturday :—" I observe extracts from letters from soldiers-in the Crimea complaining of the high prices of my goods in the Anne Maclean and the Cicero. I attribute these remarks to disappointment at not receiving these goods at home prices, for I believe them to be sold at cost prices in the Crimea. As freight, insuratce, interest of money, and sundry minor charges in this country amount to about 4,00 G/. over and above the original cost of my goods, it is obvious the prices must be high as compared with the prices here, though a good deal under the prices quoted as hitherto paid in the Crimea. lam sorry the meal comes so high, but it is already below the invoice cost. Details I am unable to give, not having heard from the supercargoes since the 19th of February. lam confi dent they will carry out my intentions of supplying the officers and soldiers with useful things at moderate prices.

The business of paying and receiving on the recent events at Warwick, Epsom, and Brighton occupied most of the afternoon. At intervals, however, betting was resumed, and with some effect. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STARES.—Nabob was in great. force ; from 8 to 1 he quickly advanced to 5 to I—at In tervening prices he was backed for a good deal of money. Meteora, at'the commencement, took close ground with him, but in a short time from 7 to 1 taken she receded to 10 to 1. Various sums were invested on Lincoln's‘inu it 11 and 10 to 1; Ireland's Eye, the winner of the last City' and Suburban, was only lightly touched. THE Two THOUSAND.-7 to 4 was currently offered against St. Hubert ' • 350 to 100 and 700 to 200 were Lid against Lord of the Isles, and 6 to 1 against Bonnie Morn ; 7to 1 was taken to a little money about Polydore, and 40 to 1 was betted against Kingstown. THE DERBY.—A considerable amount of hedging money was laid against St. Hubert at 7 to 1 and 13 to 2 ; 2100 to 300 was laid in one bet. Lord of the Isles was in a very ominous condition; at first 12 to 1 wee taken to a pony, but layers were soon found to be eager; 13 to 1 to 5001. was repeatedly offered, but no one stepped in to the rescue ; at last 1500 to 100 was offered, but he was still friendless. Dirk Hatteraick was in pretty good demand at 25 to 1, and Saraband and Rambling Katie were backed for some money at 1000 to 30 each. 2000 to 25, 5000 to 75, and 1250 to 25, were taken about Corcebus.

EXHIBITION OF ART CONTRIBUTIONS IN AID OF DISTRESSED RELATIVES OF OFFICERS IN THE EAST. The special object of this exhibition is to create a fund for the orphans and distressed relatives of our °Macre who have been engaged in the war. For this purpose a large number of amateur artists have contributed works executed by themselves to the number of about 1,500, of which only between 700 or 800 can be suspended, on so count of want of room. Contributions are even now pouring in. The proceeds arising from the exhibition and sale of the works are to be devoted to the pur• poses above mentioned. The object is a good one, and has every prospect of being successful. There is another object which will be fulfilled by the exhibition, and which was not, of course, contemplated by the originators. It will furnish a tolerably accurate test of the education of the youthful members of the higher classes in one branch of the fine arts. Viewed in this light the exhibition is very satisfactory. Many of the paintings and drawings display not only great taste and talent, but much artistic skill. Among the contribritors are the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prim Alfred, the Princess Alice, and the Princess Helena, The Princess Royal's water-colour drawings, "The Battle Field," has created a furore amongst the compe titors. At the private View on Saturday we remarked that as much as 100 guineas had been offered for it, and yesterday the bidding had reached 200. The Prince of Wales has contributed a pen•and-ink sketch of A " Knight," for which already 50 guineas have been offered. All that we need observe upon this harmless enthusiasm is that we are glad the results of it are in tended to be employed for so praiseworthy a purpose. The Duchess of Gloucester has contributed 16 draw• ings. The room, situated No. 121, Pall-Mall, was crowded to excess on Saturday and yesterday. The ii. tentions of the originators will be fulfilled in a manna • to exceed their most sanguine expectations.
