WAR DEPARTMENT, MAY 1 . , 2.45 P.m. Lord Panmure presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and has great pleasure in trans- mating the enclosed intelligence, which has this day reached him from Lord Raglan : SEBASTOPOL, 6TH MAY, 9 P.K. The enemy assaulted the advanced trench of our right attack, last eight, but were repulsed promptly. Our loss was three killed and twenty wounded. RESIGNATION OF M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS. (From the Second Edition of the Morning Post.) PARIS, MONDAY MORNING. M. Drouyn de L'Huys has resigned office. The Emperor has accepted his resignation. Differences with respect to his late mission to Vienna are said to be the•cause. DEPARTURE OF TTIEFRENCH AMBASSADOR FOR PARIS. (From the Fourth. Edition of the Morning Post.) Count Walewski left town this morning, by express, for Paris. His Excellency has been summoned thither by telegraph in consequence of the Ministeria crisis. The days of Lord PALMF,RSTON'S jesting, at leas as Premier, are drawing to a close ; the grew double meeting of London merchants, on Satur day, will soon make him look serious. He car afford, with his temperament, to juke about ccn , munications from Sebastopol in face of the- dee! anxiety of the country, or about the promise, Vienna papers, which indeed may probably prov, to be of ludicrous insignificance in compariso. with the cost in blood and treasure for which th, Vienna peace was to be the compensation. Bu. even Lord PALMERSTON can be grave when hi premiership is in danger ; and the meeting 01 Saturday plainly shows that it is so. There vra: a remarkably fair spirit evinced towards indivi duals generally who have failed, because oul present administrative system would beat almos any well-meaning man, but the majo rity of the speakers commented with marker disgust on the lenity, at such a crisis, of ouf Prime Minister, and the meeting loudly and em phatically responded to their remarks. It is evi dent that the vast body of highly respectable gen tlemen then assembled felt themselves insulted by Lord PALMERSTON'S miserable attempts to b. funny, at the expense of Members who hay , asked the questions which the country put int , their mouths. Lord PALMERSTON, if he wish( t to play the droll in public, must choose a no th er time, or another character than that of Head of the Government. What, however, Was taken from Lord PALMER STON was freely given to LAYARD . Mr.But short time ago the light-hearted Aristocrat had ti , f a i res t opportunity in the world to win himself good position in history, ag well a s i n th , nation's present esteem. He has thrown it et, tirely away. He insulted them with his lord] , Cabinet ; he insulted them by rejecting M. LAYARD; he insulted them by snubbing or laugh ing at every independent member ; and he cob summated all by coming in at the death, a s h thought, in the House of Commons attack on Mt LAYARD. But the first great meeting of CI. very cream of London citizens has decidedly ix versed the verdict of Lord PALMERSTON and hi colonels, has consigned them to merited con tempt, and has given a united and hearty verdic• in e. your of Mr. LAYARD. That gentleman ma' Rcrwl ' °l4 4 take his intended course. At an almos cas ua l l emon to his treatment by the House, th , three andZmost enthusiastic.

The new Association will do its work. Th( gentlemen chosen as a committee are not the me, i° 41114:m1 Governm en t t o t aun t them with exempb fYing the Admi nistrative incapacity of which th e l complain. They will set to work at once, ant' the their y know how to d o it. They avowed that the graced felt co untry to be disgrace, themselve dis, and their very pecuniary interests at stake. These are not motives which let men go to sleep. They have raised already a large SIMI of money, and will raise a very large one. The Chairman announced, as a proof of the ear nest and sincere character of the movement, that 25 gentlemen in the room had already put down their names for a subscription of 1001. each. The announcement was received with loud cheering. They will watch every appointment, and bring to the light of day, on each occasion, the grounds alleged or presumable. They will be, in fact, a vigilance committee on Government appointments and promotions, and in this way their efforts will begin to tell at once upon our public services. They will put themselves in connection with the electors in every town, get meetings held, and committees formed, and arouse all the constituen cies. Their facilities for doing this surpass even t hose of Messrs. COPPOCK and BROWN, since their commercial connexions are so numerous and in fluential throughout the Kingdom ; they will thus work at once upon our present members, and stir up the people to select men for the future who will audit the doings of Government in somewhat differ3nt style to what we have seen of late. The House being counted out on people's questions will become a hazardous game. It is gratifying to see that the speakers and the meeting were fully alive to the necessity of reforming our electoral practices. It was broadly recognised that while appointments were made for political reasons, such as the conciliation of sup port at elections, the mischief was as great as that arising from aristocratic nepotism. The Guildhall Meeting appended a rider to the first resolution on the necessity, for their object, of an enlarged electoral constituency, and both meetings expressed the strongest sense of the necessity of a great electoral change. The predominance of aristocrats; by title or relationship, in the Lower House was strongly condemned, and obviously that can only be remedied by a new and real Reform Bill. Many instances unknown before to the public were given of the unpardonable manner in which the most important offices were trifled with. One made public for the first time by Mr. LINDSAY, M.P., deserves, however, special notice. Lord PALMERSTON alleged that commercial men of high standing would not leave their counting-houses to serve the public, sacrificing it may be a lucra tive business for a salary of uncertain tenure. The answer would seem to be—Make the heads of working departments immovablelfrom political causes, and appoint them for capacity only. Mr. LINDSAY, however, stated that six months ago, having found that the transport service was in the utmost confusion, the very books so kept that nothing was known of the shipping, destination, and arrival of the cargoes, and this kind of business being that in which having spent his life, he could without arrogance claim full practical knowledge, lie offered to Sir JAMES GRAHAM to come for one whole week to the Admiralty, and to get their affairs into such order that goods should be duly shipped, consigned, and delivered, and that fully one million of the two which have been wasted should be saved. Will it be believed that he heard no more of his noble offer ? It shared even more contemptuous fate than Mr. Coupes offer to teach the roasting of coffee ! The result was our money wantonly wasted—and some thousands soldiers perishing for want of supplies ! Well, London has commenced the movement to put a stop to such disgraceful, such cruel delin quencies as these. It is as befitting that the City, which is the seat of Government, should com mence a reform of this kind, as for Manchester to commence the Anti-Corn-Law' agitation. As Lon lon helped Manchester then, so let Manchester ;1(4 London now. Even the COBDESS and BRIGHTS, unless they shamefully neglect their ;ountry, will join this movement. We cannot, iowever, doubt that it will be responded to by the whole nation. On Friday evening Lord PA LMERSTON deliberately dated to the House of Commons that " tho Go vernment would entirely violate their duty if they Mated that all hopes of accommodation were at au ,nd." It is right that both Houses of Parlia nent should be forthwith informed of the grounds in which such hopes are entertained, in order hat their opinions may be expressed on the nature of the contemplated arrangements, before -he nation is irrevocably committed to terms which :annot possibly produce an honourable or a per nanent peace. We now know the propositions hat have been peremptorily, and, we may add, :ontumeliously rejected by Russia. We know ;hat they had been nominally approved of by tustria, and there is but too much reason to relieve that the extraordinary " moderation" or "timidity" on the part of the Western Powers, which they so clearly manifested, was iccasioned by ehe sinister influence of the Ger nanic Members of the Conference. The French And English Plenipotentiaries certainly went to :he full length of their tether in bringing forward uch feeble and attenuated suggestions, which, if adopted to the very letter, would bring the War to a most " lame and impotent conclusion," totally inadequate to the enormous expenditure of men and money on the part of the defenders of right and .he conservators of order throughout the civilised vorld. It is something little short of a miracle -hat we have escaped from the disgrace and injury if such an arrangement. Russia has recklessly •efused the too lenient terms tendered for accept ance. By so doing she bas forfeited all claim to uture indulgence ; and if Austria has the slightest -egard for herplighted faith she would, immediately in Russia's rejection of either of the alternatives offered with her sanction, have entered into the dterior arrangements contemplated by the Treaty if the 2d December. But she has not done so? She still keeps up :he farce of negotiations. We are told that " there still exist at Vienna the elements of a conference ;" that the Taeetings were merely adjourned, w i t h out any specific time being ap _vinted for their renewal ; were, in fact, sus_ ;)ended, without being entirely broken off! "The -lements of a Conference" forsooth ! And this is the way in which the British honour is disre ;arded, and the British interests frittered away ! The matter is to be shelved for an indefinite period, in order partly that Austria may be Allowed to wriggle out of the performance of her 4olemn obligations, and partly that if success should crown the efforts of our gallant troops in the Crimea—if Sebastopol should fall before their irresistible onslaught—.l loop-hole may be re tained for the esoipa of Russia : that the Allies should be bound by the offers they had so lately mad e , and which had not been formally with lrawn. It is, indeed, a deplorable state of affairs, when !veil. the m ost complete victory con'al scarcely be re ceived w i th unmitigated satisfaction, when .he achieveme !used bynts of th e sword would be neutra,- the Pen, and what had been acquired by the effusion of blood. w ould be l os t b y th e shed 1-,li on dis ling of ink. gusts Alr eady th e very name of negoti:,l- i -the people. They are h eart il y s i ck ,f the View less palaver, of the bootless and un ineaning pr otocols—the sole re sults of some s i x weeks' diViomatie labours. The lines of Byron THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVEN el, MAY 7. 1855 seem peculiarly applicable to the Modern farce— " Behold the ball where chiefs wore late convened, Oh ! dome displeasing unto British eye ! With diadem hight foolscap, lo a fiend, A little fiend that scoffs incessantly. There sits in parchment robe array'd, and by His side is bung a seal and sable scroll, Where blazon'd glare names known to chivalry ; And sundry signatures adorn the roll Whereat the urchin points, and laughs with all his soul." It was probably the intelligence of the dearly purchased successes of last week that induced Lord PALMERSTON to give expression to these unworthy hopes. The triumphant capture of Sebastopol, although accomplished by the sacrifice of thousands of the best and bravest of the sons of France and England, might terminate the hesi tation of FRANCIS JOSEPH, and induce him really to press the proposition of the Allies on Russia. Our wily opponent well knows that at present Austria is not in earnest, and that he will have ample time to accede to the terms tendered, should all his eforts fail, and Sebastopol be indeed cap tured. He knows that the same policy which spared Odessa still prevails, and that our fire is only directed against the fortifications of Sebastopol ; that when gained, it may be returned with com paratively little damage to its quondam owners. He knows the character of our Government, that-- " For chiefs like ours in vain may laurels bloom ; Woe to the conqu'ring, not the conquered host, Since baffled triumph droops on [Balaklava's] coast." Away, then, with the ridiculous absurdity of negotiation. Let there be no disgraceful " con vention." Let not the " dwarfish demon" beguile the brains of our diplomatists, or " - turn the nation's shailow joy to gloom." Let Parliament resume its long-abdicated func tions ; let it calmly and firmly assert its own dignity, and refuse to let the honour and welfare of England be sacrificed at the altar of red- tapism ! " Quidquid delirant regv, plectuntur Acheve." The British people must expiate the folly of their rulers, and if they should be bound to main tain a powerful force in expectation of impending war they must closely calculate the cost, for they will have to defray it, even to the uttermost farthing. If, through any undue delicacy, they suffer a shameful armistice to be concluded, they must ask themselves— " How will posterity the deed proclaim ? Will not our own and fellow-nations sneer To view these champions, cheated of their fame By foes in fight—in fight o'erthrown, yet victors here, When scorn her finger points through many a coming year ?" LATEST NEWS. VIENNA, SUNDAY. The f!remdenblatt says that Baron Hess sets out for the army to-day. The Austrian generals echelon their troops along the Pruth. They have still a large garrison at Bucharest, where there are also 4,000 Turks. The modified Austrian proposal for the adjust. went of the " third point" is under the consider ation of M. Bourqueney and Lord Westmoreland, VARNA, MAY 6. Redshid Pasha goes to Vienna. The steam-flotilla is gone to bombard Kertch, on the north-eastern extremity of the Crimea. The army of reserve leaves for the Crimea. The cholera rages here. meet the demand of the allied powers, and it i therefore thought here that all means of coneilia. tion have been exhausted." PIEDMONT. The Patriot of Turin slates that all the officers of the National Gntrd of that city have resigned, because the Government hail, iu the present cir cumstances, entrusted the maintenance of public order to the regular troops. The Piemonte states that the Austrians evacu ated the Duchy of Modena on the Ist. TS: ? VIESA'A O(INFBRENVES. (Front the Pays.) If we are well-informed, M. Drouyn de I'Huys before leaving Vienna signed, with the plenipotentiaries of England and Austria, a convention stipulating that the four points of guarantee set forth in the procotol of the 28th December cannot be cfsjoined, and that the re fusal of Russia to accept any one of the four indivisible points will give rise to the cam beli provided for by the treaty of alliance of the 2d December. We have reason to believe that, immediately after the conclusion of this additional convention, Austria was to have ad dressed to Russia an ultimatum, containing her special interpretation of the third point of guarantee, with a noti fication that if Russia shall not consent 'to sign prelimi naries of peace on this basis , the Cabinet of Vienna will declare war against her. We do not know the terms of the Austrian interpretation ; but we may consider it certain that they are in conformity with the views of the Western Powers, and that they impose a serious limit, to the predominance of the Russian forces in the Black Sea, with the view of protecting, for the future, the integrity and the independence of the Ottoman Empire. The new demand of Austria is of decisive importance in every point of view. It opens new chances of peace ; hut, if these chances fail, it secures the success of the vim.. In the meantime, the first corps d'armde, of which the garrison of • Vienna forms part, has received orders to hold it , ,elf in readiness to march. Part of these troops are to go to Moravia and Cracow, and the other part to Transylvania. They are to be replaced at Vienna by troops from Italy, forming part of the 090- tingents stationed at Udina and Treviso. Gen. de Hess is expected at Lemberg towards the middle of May. The Archduke Charles Ferdinand, who was on leave of absence at Peath, arrived nn the 24th ult. at Lemberg to resume the command of the corps, stationed there. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucester House. Frances Marchioness of Londonderry has arrived at Holdernesse House, from Paris. The christening of the infant daughter of the Earl and Countess of Shelburne took place on Saturday, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. Lord Ward sailed from Marseilles on the morning of the Ist inst. for Constantinople, in his steam yacht London. Earl Granville is slowly recovering from his late acci dent, though still unable to leave his house. Mr. Marshall's statue of Campbell, the poet, was erected on Tuesday the Ist inst., in Poet's Corner, and may now be viewed. The amateur performance at Drury-lane, on Friday night next, will be honoured by the presence of the Queen, who will he received by some distinguished mem bers of the Garrick and Fielding Clubs. The perform ances will be for the benefit of the Wellington College, and a very considerable sum is expeCted to be realised, from the very high prices put upon the admission to every part of the house, all of which ars already disposed of, under the most careful management. Every part of the house will be filled by the elite of London society. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Her Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, honoured the performances at the Royal Italian Opera with their pre sence on Saturday evening. Her Majesty and his Roy& Highness were accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, and their Serene Highnesses the Princess of Hohenlohe, the Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe, and Prince Victor of Hohenlohe. The royal suite consisted of the Countess of Desart, the Hon. Miss Stanley, Lord Dufferin, General Buckley, and Captain Du Plat. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—We visited this national establishment last week, and were much pleased with the performances throughout. The new drama by Nelson Lee, an experienced hand, entitled The Field against the Favowite, contains a powerful moral awl some startling effects. The race contains all the charms of the Derby, and was admirably managed. Then followed the equestrian entertainments, - Which were repeatedly cheered, the audience rising from their seats. We have seldom seen a more brilliant display ; the whole con cluding with a ballet, introducing dancing that would not disgrace the Italian Opera. We strongly recom mend a visit to this emporium of rational amusement. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY s.—The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Derwent arrived at this part last night from the West Indies, for the purpose of undergoing a tho rough repair. The Derwent Lett St. Thomas's on the Bth of April, and the news has therefore been antici pated several days by the arrival of the Atrato. This vessel has been engaged in the conveyance of mails, pas sengers, &c., to and from the West India Islands, during the past three years. The Derwent made the voyage from St. Thomas's to Southampton with the use of only one of her paddle-wheele. On Saturday a deputation of officers of the late British Auxiliary Legion waited upon General Sir De Lacy Evans, at his residence in Bryanston-square, for the purpose of presenting the galTsart general with a con gratulatory address on his return from the East. The address was signed by Brigadier-General Sir Duncan M`Dougall, Brigadier-General Kinloch, Colonel Can non, Lieut.-General Ottoman Army Colonel Swan, Colonel Hogg, Col. Lockyer Freestun, M.P., Col.

Prussia, the postage upon such letters will in filter° be is. 4d. the hallounce, instead of ls. sd. as at present, increasing for heavier letters according to the smile in operation for charging inland letters. This rate comprises both the British and Foreign postage on letters addressed to Nsrway, and constitutes the whole charge to the place of their destination, and it may be either pa'd in advance,' or the letters mey be for warded unpaid at the option of• the sender, except, hose. ever, as regards registered letters the postage unoti which as well as the registration fee, must be paid in advance. —ROWLAND HILL, Secretary. Russo- FINNISH Lo AN. —The Post A mpt Gazette csn tains a letter frain Helsingfors, which states that an offi cial notice has been published there, dated April 4, announcing that a new loan of 650,000 silver roubles is to be contracted at 4 per cent., on the account of the Treasury of Finland to meet the expenses of the war. A RIVAL TO LORD DUNDONALD.—A mechanician named Fcederer, a Swiss by birth, but long resident in this city (says the Salut Public of Lyons), has just left for-Paris, in order to. submit to the examination of com petent men a warlike machine of his invention. It has cost him many years' meditation and labour, and will, he says, throw 700 projectiles a minute, and destroy in a very short time either a town or a whole squadron. APPOINTMENTS.—Mr. John E. Boileau is appointed • Private Secretary to Lord John RuSsell at the Colonial. office. Sir John Liddell, M.D., C. 8., F.R.S., is ap pointed Director-General of the Medical Department of the Navy.—Observer. We are happy to learn that the serious injury Prince Lucien Bonaparte met with, on Saturday last, is not Of so extensive a character as was'at first anticipated. The leg was so swollen that the medical men were in doubt, at first, whether it was broken or not; but, although the injury is great, the leg was not broken, and the Prince is doing well. The Presse - d' Orient, published at Constantinople, states that four English officers who had accompanied the reconnaissance of the 19th en amateur, having strayed from the main body, were taken prisoners by some Cos sacks. Three of them were rescued by a charge made by a body of Anglo-French cavalry, but the fourth could not be recaptured. --- LAND TRANSPORT CORPS.—Capt. Mayne is still suc cessfully engaged in raising men for this corps. The number generally enlisted daily amounts to about 20. The success that has attended Capt. Mavne's enlistment in London far exceeds that of other parr, of the United Kingdom. The rendezvous, Mr. John Price's, the Wellirgton Arms, opposite the railway station, is daily the scene of much excitement, and, from its admirable position, it is well adapted for the purpose. Last week Capt. Mayne succeeded in sending to Bristol 200 men, making at present the grand total of 2,000 men, raised by the exertions of one man. Snow and sleet fell early on Friday morning at South ampton, and on Thursday, at Manchester. Scharnyl's son, who had been carried captive to St. Petersburg, eoucated therein, and admitted into the military service of Russia, has been reatored to him, together with 40,000 silver rouble., as ransom for the Princesses Tschawtschawadse and Orbelian, who, with their chddren, were taken prisoners by Scliamyl's ;01- lowers in the neighbourhood of Teflis last summer. The negotiations for the exchange lasted eight months. THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.—Previous to the de parture of his Imperial Majesty, he ordered a splendid piece of plate to he sent to the members of the Junior United Service Club. We hear that it was at first imagined that this magnificent gift had been intended for the Army and Navy Club, of which his Majesty has been for many yfars an honorary member ; but it ap pears such is not the case ; and it must, therefore, he considered as a , . evidence of the interest which is felt by the Imperial ruler of our gallant allies for the young and rising blood of our military and naval professions. THE WEATHER.—LIVERPOOL. May 4.—The weather has been remarkable for change during the past few day- , , with evenings bright and frosty. Yesterday a considerable quantity of rain fell, and towards evening the town was visited by the meteorological phenomenon of a snowstorm in May. This morning there was ice of considerable thickness on the penis, amid to-day the weather is intensely cold, ,kith occasional falls of snow. Spring attire has generally given place to winter gar ments. THE NEW YORK EXHIBITION.—Have any o OUT reaaers had the misfortune to send articles to this Ex hibition ? If so, we compassionate them. The com pany, we understand, is insolvent, and we h .ve seen a letter stating that any goods not removed by th e I st of June will bp soli I -,y auction to pay duties. This is a hard case.—Cork Constitution. THE LANCEIESTER WELLINGTON STATUE.—On Friday afternoon the castinE of the c•ilossal statue of the Duke of Wellington, by Mr. Noble, of Burton -street-, to be erected at Manchester in testimony of the respect and admiration of the inhabitants of that city for his Grace. took place at the eAtablishnierit of Messrs. Robinson and Co., Lower Belgra,ve-p!a:e, Pimlico. There were present many patrons of the fire arts and scientific persons, among whom were [And Sheffield, Sir J. Johnstone, M.P., Colonel Harcourt, Professor Faraday, &c. The weight of metal fused Was about four tons, asd the cast ing was most succesefuly performed. This statue will he placed on a granite pedestal weighing about 50 tons, around the base of w hi c h f our colossa l a ll egoe ical figures will he placed, each figure weighing upwards of ' three tons. The figures are already modelled, and the casting of them will shortly take place. The whole will form one of the most magnificent groups ever molded. a LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the . LortiJustices of Appeal.) The part-heard case of Hawkins v. Gardner occupied their lordships the whole moinimr. In the case of Sturge v. the Eastern Union Railway Company, the arguments in which were concluded on Saturday, their lordships reserved their judgment. ROLLS COURT. ARMSTRONG V. BURNRTT—JUDGMENT. The Master of the Rolls gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the principal question was, whether the calls upon certain shares in the Newcastle and York shire Banking Company. possessed by the testator prior to, and at the timeof, making the will, were to be paid out of the property given to his specific legatees or by general personal estate. The, testator in the catt4e died as far back as 1843. At that time he was in possession of 1,180 shares of the Newcastle and Yorkshire Bank, which he specifically devised to his nieces, alt of whom were at that time infants. After his death a call was ma le by the banking company of 51. a share, and the executors in order to pay that call, borrowed, con sidering that in doing so they were benefitting the estate of the testator. It was sought by the .peofic legatees to , !1 ake the amount of that call a charge upon the general personal estate of the testator, a hich was resistel by the re,tduary legatees, on the ground that the executors in raising the money to pay the calls had placed themselves in the situation of trustees for the specific legatees, and had thereby made their interest liable. His Honour, after going at consideraide length into the authority upon the subject, stated his opinion to be that the specific legatees were bound to pay the call on the bank, and that the residuary legatees were exonerated from all payment in respect of them. After a short discussion, his Honour said he would state his opinion with respect to.the costs to-morrow. FRANCE. The Moniteur of yesterday contains the report of the commission appointed by the decree of Aug. 5, 1834, to carry out as far as practicable the testa mentary dispositions of Napoleon I. The report is presented by M. A. could, and concludes-- "Thus four-and-thirty years after the death of the Emperor his last wishes on behalf of his faithful ser vants and glorious companions in arms receive their consecration." The Moniteur contains no further news from the seat of war. Immediately upon receipt of news from the Crimea that the fire before Sebastopol was sus pended, the French Government sent orders to I\l4,rseilles for the embarkation of a new siege train consisting of nearly 300 heavy guns. The departure of Omer Paella from before Sebas topol is confirmed by letters from Kamiesh of the 24th, brought by the Sinai. He has taken with him ten batt9lions to Eupatoria, reports having arrived that the Russians had massed troops in front of that town, and were preparing au attack. The Emperor has addressed the following letter to the widow of the late Minister of Marine : " Tuileries, April 23. " My dear Madame Ducos—l am at a lu-s how ti express to you all that I felt on hearing of the death of the excellent M. Ducos, who has rendered me such im portant services, and shown so much devotedness to me. I above all thought of you and of all you have lost ; rely therefore, Madame, on my sentiments and those of the Empress ; we shall be happy to be able to assuage your misfortune. Accept the assurance of my affectionate sentiments. " NAPOLEON." The following private telegraphic despatch has been received : " BERLIN, May sth.

M. Al. Man., chef d'escadron of Lancers in the Ottoman army, who was suspected of keeping up a correspondence with a Hungarian emissary, .vhorn thy: police have been for some time c trefully watching, was arrested and is now in prison. He has undergone two interrogatories, the result of which will not be known for some days. Yes terday a report was current that a strict watch had been kept on the residence of Hassan Pacha, and that in reply to a complaint made by hint of such treatment, he had been told that the measures which had been adopted by the Austrian authorities were on the demand of the Porte itself. Col. Manoilivitch, who commands the Austrian regiment in garrisim at Galatz, has addressed a letter to the Wallachian authorities of Ibrail, ordering that the Ottoman authorities shall not, on any pretext, arrest either a Wallachian subject, or any other claiming Austrian protection, and also that in the event of the arrival of Ottoman troops, however small the number, the authorities are to immediately give him notice of the fact. The interview at Fiikshani between the Hospodars of Moldavia and Wallachia had for object to impress on the former the necessity of a prolonged Austrian mili tary occupation, in order to secure the welfare and tran quillity t,f the two Principalities." RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 25th ult. ' in the Constitutionnel, says :—" A d espatc h h as been received here to-day from Vienna which has caused a certain sensation at the Court. At one moment the Russian Plenipotentiary at Vienna thought that Austria, by her mediation, would be able to smooth down all difficulties, but according to recent accounts she has placed herself defini tively on the side of France and England. Judge of the astonishment of MM. Gortschakoff and de Moil when they were given to understand on the part of Austria that the turn of Russia was come to make concessions, which were laid down thus, almost as am ultimatum Limit the number of vessels of war iu the Black Sea.' The Emperor Alexander, I am able to affirm, added with hie own hand to the last despatch addressed b Prince Gurtschakoff at Vienna these words—' Equality of rights ; honour intact ; equilibrium of forme.' You will admit that after these words, neither M. de Titoff nor Prince Gortschakoff were prepared to SPAIN. MADRID 4.—The discussion on the third basis of the constitution continues in the Cortes. It is stated that the town of Santander has been selected for the residence of General Pezuela. The Treasury Bonds due in April will soon be paid. There is no further talk of raising a loan. DENMARK. HAMBURG, MAY 6.—The general elections wil take place on the 14th and 20th June for the Firs . and Second Chambers respectively. A ME RICA. SOUTHA.MiI'ON, SUNDAY NIGHT. The United States' wail steamship Washington, Captain Caveudy, has arrived with news from New York to the 21st ult., 180 passengers, and 25,0001. in specie for London. The steamship Nashville, from Liverpool, bad not arrived out when the Washington left. The steamer Illinois left New York on the 20th ult. for Aspinwall and Panama, with 700 passen gers and $200,000 in gold coin for the United States' Government. News from Mexico states that the President had left for Tacubaya. The country continued in a state of disturbance. A difficulty had arisen in re ference to the reception of the new Plenipotentiary from Spain, in consequence of his not having been received on his arrival with the honours due to his position. The Indians had, from some unknown cause, refrained from their customary attacks upon the inhabitants. At Washington, says the Washington correspon dent of the New York _Herald, the Cabinet was entirely harmonious upon the Cuban question. Commodore Macaulay's instructions were not such as to create a casus belli. He would resort to force only if a case should arise in which inter national law would fully justify it. The Adminis tration was strongly in favour of pacific relations with Spain. Property to the extent of $2,600,000 was de stroyed by fire in Jersy city during the past year. In the New York money-market little business was done in exchange for this steamer. Conti nental bills were more plentiful. Paper on London was quoted at 91 to 10i premium ; Paris, sf. 12ic. to sf. 11.4 c. In the cotton market a reduction of one quarter of a ceLt. had taken place on the last quotations iu consequence of disappointment in reference to news from England. Wheat continued scarce, and the demand re stricted ; other grain in moderate demand. The provision market was firmer. Freights continue depressed. Flour from 121 c. to 25c. per barrel dearer. - - RETIREMENT OF M. DROUYY DE L'HUYS. The following important information is from a letter, dated Paris, yesterday : The retirement of M. Drouyn de l'Huys from the Ministry is spoken of very confidently in plitical, and even some official, circles to-day. It was vaguely ru moured yesterday, but it is now affirmed in a very posi tive manner. It is not strange that a more than ordinary sensation should follow such an announcement, wheu we remember the prominent part taken by M. Drouyn de I'lluys in the important questions which have kept Eu rope in agitation and anxiety for the last two year. It is all the more to be regretted, as even by the a.lifussion of those who were and still are opposed to the foreign policy of the Government, the Minister has certainly displayed talents of a high order. The cause of his expected with drawal from the Cabinet is said to lie a serious difference of opinion between him and the Emperor on the pro positions of peace lately submitted to England and France by Austria with the view of their being even tually proposed to Russia. These conditions, we are informed, M. Drouyn de l'Huys considered acceptable, and, moreover, declared, before leaving Vienna, that he should succeed in bringing over the Emperor to his opi nion. In this hope he has been disappointed, as the Em peror not only looks upon them as inadmissible, but appears determined not to listen again to any simi i.ir propositions for peace emanating from Austria. Such a determination, it is said, is shared by the English Government, and is, no doubt, founded on the convic tions of the insincerity of teat Power, a-id the difficulty, if not the impossibility, of inducing her to assume, even at this late hour, a policy more becoming her rank, and more consonant to her engagements. The manner iii which a confidential organ of the Frincla Minister of Foreign Affairs invariably defended Austria whenever the slightest doubt was hinted of her determination t • take her part in the war, shows how conip'etely lie must have been dece' wed. The resignation of M.Drouyn de l'Huys was it appears tendered yesterday, but not accepted. The Emper-r was naturally unwilling to lose the seavices of such a Minister, and perhaps hoped he might yet change his mind. Such 'does not appear to be the case, and it is affirmed that this day the reeiv,.. nation was again offered, and very pribably ac. - iepte t. On the whole the Emperor is said to be fir from satis fied with the conduct of the late negot;ations at Vienna. He thinks that the Plenipotentiaries have been too condescending, arid have allowed themselves to he. as it were, cajoled by M. Buol, and the reception of the French Minister, on his return to Paris, is n said to have been cold. As it is well known that no very warm feeling existed for a !wig time between M. Drouyn de l'Huys and M. Thouvenel, the nomi nation of the latter to so important a post as that of Am bassador to Constantinople Is regarded as in some d. gree a censure on his chief. The person spoken of a.. likely to succeed M. Drouyn de l'Huys is M. Walewski, ambas sador in London ; and M. de Raynevol is considered to have some chance of taking the vacant post. The Empe ror, it is said, is determined to prosecute the war with the utmost vigour. There are a few persons who think that M. Drouyn de l'Huys may still remain in the Cabi net, but in officials quarters this is doubted. It is considered here as probable that, should M. Drouyn de l'Huys quit the Cabinet, a change will take place in the English Ministry also. It is not in England only that disappointment is felt with Lord Palmerston. Those who were always opposed to him now exult at the general disgrace into which he and his colleagues appear to have fallen, and his warmest partisans unwillingly admit that he has proved himself utterly incompetent to the task which he had taken on himself. Nothirg can exceed the astonishment of the French at men being re tained in their posts, at home and abroad, who have all but ruined the noblest cause that ever mankind was en gaged in. At all events, the fall of the English Ministry is confidently anticipated here. ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC DISCOVERY SHIP ENTERPRISE. PORTSNIOUTII, SUNDAY, 9 P.M. Her Majesty's ship Enterprise, Captain CoHinson, arrived at Spithead this evening, after sunset, from the Arctic Regions, China, and the Cape of Good Hope. She sailed from the latter station (Table -bay) on the 18th of February, and St. Helena on the 2d of March, The only news the Enterprise has brought con firms the reports which have preceded her arrival as to the hostile relations between her captain and his officers. It is quite true that all the executive offi cers of the ship (Commanders Phayro, Lieutenants Jag,' and Parks, and Mr. Skead, the master) are under ar rest, and have been so for terms varying from three years to lesser periods. Mr. Skead has been under arrest over three years, awl Mr. Parks more than two years and a half. All the chief executive officers being thus debarred from doing duty, an acting mate (Mr. Wise, of the Cornus sloop) was sent to assist in navigating the ship home by Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling, the Commander-in-Chief of the China squadron, who refused to hold a series of courts-martial on that station. It now rests with the Lords of the Admiralty to try these officers by court-martial at the instw:ce of Captain Col linson, and also to try that officer at the instance and demand of those who have been so long under confine. ment by his orders. The Enterprise was commissioned by Captain Cal linson to go in search of Sir John Franklin On the 20th of December, 1849, in concert with the Investiga tor, Captain M'Ciure, but has achieved nothing in the way of discovery of the lost expedition.

DUBLIN, Saturday Evening.—Lord Doneraile las been elected a representative peer for Iroland, in the room of Loyd O'Neill, deceased, WARE V. CUBIBERLEDGE. His Honour also gave judgment in this case, in which the question arose under the Mortmain Act. His Honour, upon the hearing of the case, expressed a strong opinion that the provision of that act ought not to he allowed to be infringed upon. In order to enable tee tators to give away their property to charities in detri ment to their own relatives, and from the observations he then made, alter looking through all the authories, he did not feel inclined to retract a single word. He thought the gift of the shares were obnoxious to the Mortmain Act, and therefore that they did not pass. He was glad to think that his decision would be carried to a higher tribunal, where the question would be finally settled. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY). The May session of the Central Crittinal Court was opened this morning before the Right Honourable Sir F. G. Moon, Bart., Lord Mayor, the Right Honourable the Recorder, Alderman Sir C. Marshall, Sir J. Duke, and Kennedy, Sir H. Muggeridge, and Sir C. D. Crowley ; Sheriff 4, Mr. Under-Sheriff Farrer, Mr. Under-Sheriff Crowley, &c. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 68 prisoners. The Recorder congratulated the grand jury upon the lightness of the calendar, both with regard to the quality of the offences contained in it and the number of prison ers ; and said he considered it unnecessary to occupy their time by referring to any of the cases, as none ap peared to him to present any difficulties either of law or fact. his lordship said, however, that he thought it right to state publicly, .that a good deal of in convenience was occasioned by a practice of the clerks of tue petty sessions and at the police' courts not returning the depositions to this court until just before the commencement of the session, and the consequence was that he had no opportunity of read big them, and giving the grand jury any directions which were required by the nature of the ca,es, He said that he mentioned this publicly in the expectation that it would have the effect of causing the practice to be discontinued in future. The grand jury then retired. The trial of Charles William \Vinchelsea Bevan for embezzlement, in his capacity of secretary to an insurance company, was postponed until to-morrow morning. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) The committee reassembled this morning at the uiml hour. Sir Thomas Hastings was again recalled, and his ex amination was resumed by Lord Seymour—He stated that during the absence of the officials at the Board of Ordnance, near the close of last year, certain documents went out with but one signature instead of two, the usual course. Two signatures were always considered necessary when questions of principle were involved, such for instance as the expending of money for the erection of barracks. Mr. Monseil had authorised in one instance the expenditure olmoney, after a consulta tion with Lord Panmure, without consulting the hoar J. If there had been a Master-General in attendance the whole of the difficulties and dis;ruanisation that had taken plane would not, he considered, have happened. The first order for waterproof capes for the Crimea was given in November, and for waterproof sheeting a little before ; the first received at the Tower was in January, 1855. By the Chairman—The functions of the MaAer•Gene ral have been asiumed by the Minister of War in seve ral instance=. By Mr. Ellis—ln some res!rcts the functions of the Master-General were similar to those of the First Lord tif the Admiralty, but rather more Exclus;ve. Tne Ma s t er General of. the Ordnance could reverse the orders of the board, but which the first Lerd of the Adruirdiy could not ; the former had not a seat at the board. By the Chairman—Since the"a.bsence of the Master- General (Lord Itiglan) there had been a great clashing of interests. and had he been in Eu:dand there would have been no difficulty in filling up appointments that hal been delayed ; Sir Hugh Ross ha he believed, full powers by his patent as bad the Master-General. The re commendations to fill vacancies were approved of by the Master-General, who then referred to the board, and they were carried out, hut there had bet n instances where they had been. forwarded to the Master-General and carried out without coming back to the board. By Mr. Layard—No appointments in the ordnance service had been lately made out of the regu!ar course. Additional clerks had been engaged at the Tower, in con sequence or the pressure of business arising from the war. Witness held his nffice under a patent, and had .its dutieg beeninterfered with he should have complained to the Secretary of State, By Lord Se'ymour—A requisition for the gamily of a quantity of huts for the army in the Crimea was sent to the Ordnance office, but it did not come officially before the board. The first order for them was not given by the board in consequence of some irregulari ties ; but he was riot present at all that occurred with re ference to the supply. He was u table to say with certain'y if the order for the supply of the huts was signed by two members of the heard ; the Minister of War and Sir Frederick Smith conducted the matter, and the plait was ultimately submitted to the R. ard of Ordnance, who gave their opinion on them, and approving of them, but at that time he believed many of the huts were actually constructed. The irregularities in the preliminaries were subsequently set right. The contract was by Sir Fred. Smith, with Messrs. Price and Potter, of Glou cester. By the Chairman—The Board of Ordnance paid for the huts, because they were urgently required. The irregularities complained of were those of form merely. By Mr. Ellice—l think the result of your examina tion is that it is as difficult to carry on the successful administration of the Board of Ordnance without a Master-General and a complete board as that of the navy without a first Lord of the Admiralty ?—I think so. Sir Thomas having put in several documents con nected with his evidence retired. Mr. Monsell, M.P , Clerk to the Ordnance, was next examined. LLEFT SITTING.] LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS . DAY.)
