The resignation of General CA.NROBERT, *Mai we this day announce, will be hailed with satis faction by a large proportion of the public. Whatever may have been his merits or demerits as Commander-in-Chief of the French forces before Sebastopol, this much is certain—he was unsuccessful; and the ardent friendship he had con tracted for Lord RAGLAN afforded an argument foi the retention of that brave, but woefully incom petent, General in command. General CAN ROBERT gone, Lord RAGLAN must infallibly follow. His Lordship's blunders have been so many, and have been productive of such serious results, that this cannot possibly take place too soon. In a word, he should be recalled at once, for now none but the flimsiest excuses can be urged against the step. Would to HEAVEN it had been taken earlier ! Then, instead of our troops dying piecemeal, cooped up like rats in a trap, in all probability they would have been led on against the enemy, and, after beating them in the field, found in the rear of the routed Russians a practicable highway into Sebastopol ! CANRO BERT resigned—NEssELßoDE resigned—what is it but war to the knife ? France answers Russia nobly ! Let not England be silent nor answer less nobly. Lord PALMERSTON, by his reply to Major REED'S preconcerted motion, after all did but play the part of Dame PARTINGTON. The trick was so trans- parent that he himself could but join heartily in the laughter provoked by Mr. DISRAELI'S sarcasm. Still he would not have joined in the merriment so pleasantly had he not been persuaded that his mop was really the implement for getting rid of the Administrative Reform nuisance. No doubt intervening houses concealed from worthy Dame PARTINGTON that she was matching herself with the Atlantic ; and our light-hearted War Pre mier's vision is doubtless bounded also by certain noble houses, to the nature of the movement which he sallies forth in such haste to meet. He must now begin to see that he has no mere puddle to deal with. English merchants and manufacturers, especially those of London, do not get up meet ings like the one at the London Tavern on light grounds. They may be even party men, but they are very slow to be moved for such ob jects, and when they • are moved, and when, forgetting party politics and their counting houses, they think it worth while to bestir themselves, it is perfectly certain that some practical grievance has come home to them. Lord PALMERSTON'S reception at the Mansion Rouse Banquet must have satisfied him that his feat of Friday night had awakened no fresh en ""tisiasm in the most respectable portion of Lon don over the , and, look which way he wil l country, he sees the ing size and is • wave gather trength and that too everywhere, amongst n wealth class. They 57.01, will connected, and a power fulas to the virtu es of assuredly enlighten him business-like and systematic habits, by the ext ent, th e efficiency, and the firmness of the combination e Mr. LINDSAY will have his will orga n i se . "Peter Di cks" before he h as „ reve t'ge on the ' Lune . Wherever he goes be will find men of large business transac tions who h a ve been annoyed by the uperciliou ignorance of Government servants ; and just no , he will find the same men smarting, in additi o b . Under a sense o f national dishonour, and th e waste of life and money due to administra tive incapacity. An instalment of reform War-office will be laughed at by such men : . I" i roffered as .payment in f ull. They have no such` . The y see tio reason'vrhat ever why Cabinet Ministe rs " . -4 : a 1 as at the head of su m . ca • • binet departments, shoule Doi he 'elected fat ea ' WA to do the work of the office to which they are appointed. They do not ask that the titled or the untitled, but that ability and industry should have the prefer ence. They demand men for every office who shall conduct the business so well that the country would as little tolerate their dismissal as they would that of ROWLAND HILL from the Post office, Or Sir BALDWIIst WALKER, from the Dock yards. At the Norwich Meeting, reported in The Sun of Thursday, Mr. WCULLAGH gave one of the best ' possible tests to verify the need of Administrative Reform. Scanning the composition of a few Cabi nets for the last fourteen years, and naming a grandee in each, he observed, " Now here we have three dukes and one marquis, and no ' thing to credit on the other side ; aad I ask with out fear, any man in this room, whatever his po litical opinions may be, whether he will say that any of these four individuals would have been ap pointed to office if he had not been a Duke or a Marquis ?" (No, no.) Apply the test through out, from the Premier to the Peter Dicks, and it will prove the case of the Administrative Reform Association. Let it be asked respecting each —were he not a titled man, or the relative of a titled man—or the nominee of a titled man—or (we must add) the protegee of an im portant Member of Parliament—would he fill the post he is in ? Men of Lord PALMERSTON'S and Lord DERBY'S ability, or of Mr. DISRAELI'S and Mr. GLA.DSTONeS, would, of course, be found fore most in any line of life on which they might have entered; but in the Administrationa to which these Lords and Gentlemen respectively belonged every one could point to malty individuals whose capacity to fill the offices they encumbered was inferior to that of hundreds who were never seen or thought " There were within the realm, Ten thousand good as they." They had neither aristocratic titles, nor relation ship to them. It is this exclusion of men, of genius, energy, and talent, as- if they bad the taint (in American eyes) of negro blood, that is compelling the country to say, with Mr. AUCTILLA.GH, " This is intolerable; we can stand it no longer as free and self-respecting men ; and as tax-paying citizens we cannot a f ford it." The vast importance of railway communication in this country is, nowadays, pretty generally recognised, and never disputed ; and yet before ;he railway system came into operation our means of internal transit, undeniably the most efficient in the world, were deemed by many the most perfect that could be discovered. Lines of railway, how ever, having been constructed, traffic rapidly, and, Is it were, naturally, flowed to them ; and it was seen that, comparatiTely compact as our natural resources were, they could never have been duly developed under the old system, requiring, as the raw material or manufactured produce evidently did, certainty, cheapness, and expedition in being brought to market. If this has been the case in Great Britain—if railway communication has proved, as it unquestionably has, an inestimable boon, of how much greater value must it prove to countries like India and Canada, where no such communication as we posseszed, nor anything ap- proaching to it, exists—countries endowed with natural resources rich beyond description—many of them immediatelyavailable, and capable of being turned with the utmost rapidity to account. From a pamphlet of reports now lying before us on the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, to the London Board of Directors, by Sir Ouse CK P. RONEY, Mr. A. M. Ross, and Mr. S. P. BIDDER; and which has suggested our remarks, we gather mat ter of a highly satisfactory nature respecting country which has long invited the attention of oapitalists as a fine field for profitable investment. According to the report of Sir CUSACK P. RONEY on the present condition and future prospects of the country, made, by order of the Board of Directors, after a careful inspection of the eastern Ind western sections of the province, and likewise iuch portions of the United States as are to b• commercially connected with them, and who had every possible assistance in his inquiries, it would Lppear that in all probability a continuous line from St. Thomas, in Eastern Canada, to Brook- ville, a distance of 325 miles, will be opened for traffic in the autumn of the current year—a very satisfactory prospect. Previous to the opening of the line between Montreal and Portland, in 1853, we are told these cities were as much separated from one another by ranges of hills and dense forests as if they had been 3,000 instead o 300 miles apart. Since that time population has rapidly filled in along the entire length of the railway ; and in the centre, we are told, are now about 3,000 active contributors to the company's traffic and revenue. Large clearances of forest land have taken place, villages are rapidly spring ing up adjacent to the numerous rivers that run in the vicinity of the line, and twenty-eight saw mills have been built and a number more planned. Those now existing are capable of sawing 500,000 feet a day for the greater part of the year. Allowing each to cut ;treble its present amount, it is calculated it will take seventy years to clear the timber lands in the vicinity of the line (!), and with cleared lands it is justly remarked—that is after a rich harvest has been reaped—will come increased settlement, population, and traffic. The traffic from timber done on the Montreal and Portland section, Sir CUSACK thinks, it is not unreasonable to expect will, in the course of next year, be at least 8/. sterling a-mile 'per week. Portland, it would tppear, is rapidly becoming the centre of transac tions affecting the railway. Cargoes of sugar des tined for Canada have already been brought there direct from Cuba, and conveyed to Montreal by the line, and the speed and regularity with which the goods traffic recently commenced between Boston and Montreal through . Portland has been conveyed is rapidly securing the whole ,of this very important trade to the company. The traffic between Portland, via Canada, is already being rapidly developed, and eventually the car riage of flour will fall exclusively into the hands of the company. The Quebec and Richmond section, running for nearly 70 miles through magnificent forests, in the midst of which are innumerable water privileges, small sites on which mills are now being constructed, though requiring time for the development of its local traffic, will put Quebec in direct. railway communication with Montreal and Portland, and thus unite three cities, with a combined population of 120,000 persons, independent of those resident along the line. The through traffic from Quebec to Rich mond, and from Richmond to Montreal, we are told, will be very considerable, two first-class mail steamers having hitherto started from both places every evening for seven months in the year, Coll veyiu- v., in from thirteen to fifteen hours, nearly 2 " Passengers, besides others of inferior speed an d . accommodation at less regular intervals ; and this mode shut o f communication being UP' e for fi it is far from • v- months in the year, certain _th e y • m inira ' ° bable, indeed it is almost line. re are',N- 0 4413.,1 ; e . c omp ete with theare,'~vo biz§ unable te, • •to teil&vb that thb -14`' 6 4' '6 0 444 wil th come in fora con.

The communication between Montreal and Brockville is, during the period of navigation, by steam boats, which ply on the river St. Lawrence ; on the opening of the section of railway a journey of 24 hours will be converted into one of 4i. The average daily number of passengers is 200 in each direction. From Montreal to Toronto, and places west of it, the most expeditious route now is to make a circuit by railway in the United States of 592 miles, with several changes of carriages, by which a saving of 12 to 15 hours over the St. Lawrence line is effected—at, however, an in. creased expense. When the Grand Trunk is complete to Toronto, the distance from Montreal will be 333 miles, and this will be traversed in 12 or 13 hours. Besides the cases enumerated, there are many others in which a similar saving of time will be effected, the whole clearly showing that a vast amount of passenger traffic may legitiinately be expected. To these considerations, however, must be added others of almost equal weight. The citizens of the United States are uniformly remarkable for their travelling propensities, and from the facili ties offered by the railway and the temptations to pleasure-seeking by the Canadians, a large revenue may be looked for from this source. The average contribution of each resident within the influence of a railway in the United States is, it would appear, 12s. 6d. per annum, and the popu lation on and within 15 miles of the Grand Trunk Railway being about 1i million, and rapidly in. creasing, it is computed that, making the most ample allowance for competition by water, an annual income of 600,0001. will be derived from this source. A gross revenue of 375,000/. from the export of flour from Upper Canada is also expected—the foregoing traffic being exclu sive of that to be derived from the lines tributary to the main one. Next in importance to the Grand Trunk line is the Great Western Railway of Canada, which will meet the Grand Trunk at Toronto, at a station common to both lines ; so that if the immense traffic combinations of these railways are carried into effect, not only will the business of that city be immensely increased, but the development of the resources of the neigh bouring district and the country at large will be wonderfully promoted. We shall return again to a notice of the reports. Has the Bank Charter Act of 1844 worked well, or proved conducive to the welfare and prosperity of the industrious classes—the real Thews and sinews of the country? Is its pracfl tical operation such as to admit of the ful development of the national resources, so tha the energetic and determined efforts maybe made which the magnitude of the existing emergency, .mperatively demands? These are questions tha require speedy and decided answers. The im portant and interesting preblem must be solved during the present session of Parliament, more than half of which has already elapsed withcu the slightest intimation of the Ministerial inten tions respecting the renewal of the Bank of Eng- land Charter being afforded. Indeed, according to present appearances, it seems to b© the object of the Government to let the matter remain in abeyance, without notice or observation, until the last month of the session, when the golden oppor. tunity will have slipped away, and people will be compelled to submit to a renewal of the present iniquitous code, without modification or improve ment, or to an emasculated and diluted measure of little practical utility. We must confess that the auguries at this mo ment are not very auspicious. A Minister less calculated to overcome the difficulties of the case than Sir G. C. LEWIS could scarcely be found. It would, to use a vulgar but significant expres sion, be "a toss up" between him and Sir CHAS , WOOD. Their defects are of ,very different de scriptions, and yet they lead to results equally prejudicial' to the community. The quondam Financial Minister ignored every passing circum stance, and perversely clung to the status in quo however inapplicable to the actual state of affairs The present Chancellor is blown about by every gale, he can scarcely make up his mind on any subject, and should he do so, the chances are that he will completely change his earlier opinions. Perverse obstinacy was the chief characteristic of Sir C. WOOD ; vacillating instability of Sir. G. C. LEWIS. Nothing save the pressure from without can influence the latter, and it is therefore a matter of paramount importance that monetary reformers should spare no efforts to excite the nation from the apathy and indifference so long displayed on a subject so materially affecting its welfare and the happiness of the people. The inhabitants of Nottingham have enti tled themselves to the thanks and gratitude of their countrymen for coming forward at this pressing emergency—for inaugurating a movement which will, we trust and believe, progress throughout the length and breadth of the land. No time should be lost in following the example which they have afforded, of com pensating even at the eleventh hour for the apathy heretofore displayed. Let every mai who feels the pressure of the extra taxation ask him self how the burden is to be alleviated ? Let every man who feels that the honour and safety of England, and of the Anglo-Indian empire, as well as the cause of truth and justice, are in volved in the result, consider how peace can be conquered, and the haughty and rapacious aggres sor be brought to his senses. Every disinterested and unprejudiced person must see that the pecu niary part of the subject is by no means the least important, and that, unless that be duly attended to, all our other exertions, all the valour of our gallant soldiers and seamen will be literally wasted and misapplied. We do not, now ask parties to commit them selves to any peculiar views ; we merely implore inquiry. Our own opinions have been too fre quently and too unequivocally expressed to per mit any doubt or difficulty with respect thereto, and we shall be still found amongst the most energetic labourers for the good cause. But we ask those who have not yet arrived at a conclu sion to investigate the subject—to ascertain the extraordinary influence which it must exercise on coming events, and honestly and faithfully to strive to form an impartial and unprejudiced judgment. If the question be sufficiently ven tilated truth must ultimately prevail. The different constituencies should not suffer their representatives to be taken by surprise, when, at the fag-end of the Session the Chancel lor of the Exchequer brings forward his proposi tions. They should be prepared to argue V ie topic, and not to yield a tacit assent to the feella cies that may be put forward by the Financial Minister. Mr. KNOTT clearly and distinctly explained the subject to the gentlemen and tradesmen of 'Not• tingham and its vicinity. He has stepped for ward as one of the leaders of the vanguard. Are there. not others desirous- of achieving similar dis "tipctionvybo feel themselves qualifiedlos enlighten their friends — and neighbours-td stimulate the agitation that is so imperatively required 3 It is easy to prove -that the Act of 1844 has totally failed of accomplishing the alleged ob ject for which it was carried that in place of equalising the value of money, of render ing the purchasing power of the Sovereign equable, it has led to the most extraordinary and disas trous fluctuations—" fluctuations more injurious to the industrious classes than the failure of all the banks of issue since the creation of paper money." We know that it was anticipated that the novel principle would work well as a self acting regulator of the circulating medium ; but it has not merely failed in its intended object, but its operation has been diametrically opposite. When there was an abundance of money, it added to the plethora. When our coffers were well filled, it caused their overflow. The torrent destroyed what more gently and equably distri buted, it would have fertilised. In place of stimu lating legitimate trade, it led to unhealthy specula tion. Money became what was commonly called " a drug in the market." But, unfortunately, it did not long continue so. The tide of prospefity rapidly ebbed, and left the imprudent speculators to suffer the deplorable results of their folly. On the other hand, when there was a deficiency the tightness was aggravated, and sufficient could not be obtained for the exigencies of the people, and more especially of the creators and producers of national wealth. This must be corrected, and it can only be corrected during the present Session, for notice must be given by the Government to the Bank of its intentions with respect to the Charter before the prorogation. Monetary re formers know the arduous task which they are called on to accomplish, and they should there fore at once, and for ever, shake off the apathy by which they have so long been affected. LORD ELLENBOROUGH'S MOTION.—The Earl of Dela warr's name was accidentally omitted from the list of Peers who voted in favour of Lord Ellenborough's motion. The Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital have in creased the pension of Isaac Church to Is. a-day on ac count of his rood character. BANKRUPTCY COURT.—Mr. Bailey, the eminent R culpto r, was yesterday awarded a second class certi ficate. The number of exhibitors at the Paris Exhibition is not less than 20,000, of whom 10,500 are foreigners. On Wednesday upwards of 70 volunteers from the City of Dublin Militia joined the 60th Rifles. WAR ROCKETS.—Large Government orders, we are informed, fur iron cases, of the CoNreve patterns, are in course of e*ecution by an extensive firm in Long•acre and DrurOane. A deputation, consistirg of the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Waterford, W. B. N. Wyse (high sheriff of the county Waterford), Joseph D. Laphain, and Joseph Fisher, Esqrs., has arrived in town for the purpose of waiting on the Postmaster-General respecting the im perfect postal arrangements of the south of Ireland. Daniel Mitchell Davidson and C.,sino Wm. Gordon, who carded on business in the city of London as gene► ral merchants and metal brokers, and at West Ham as distillers, were brought up on remand before Sir P. Laurie, 'at the Mansion-house yest , -rday, charged with not surrendering after they had been adjudged bank rupts, with fraudulently concealing a portion of effects, and with uttering fictitious warrants. They were again remanded. . . . PROVIICIAL BANK OF IRICLAND.—At 94 melting o division." this bank held yesterday a dividend at the rate of 8 - per cent. per annum (free from income tax), with a bonus of 4 per cent., was declared, and the report was unani mously adopted. The members of the Halifax Mill-owners' Association have just held a meeting, and resolved unanimously to join the National Association, recently formed, for the purpose of guarding the interests of factory proprietors and occupiers. COLONEL SIETHOIIF, M.P.—A report has been current that the gallant member for Lincoln was seriously and dangerously ill. We are happy to be able to state that, though the colonel has been suffering from indisposition, arising, doubtless, from over exertion, no immediate danger has ever been anticipated by his medical atten dant, and he is so far recovered as to induce his friends to believe that he will in a few days be able to resume his Parliamentary d'ities.—Boston Guardian. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Mario has reason to be flat tered by his reception last night. At no former perild of his career do we remember to have seen a greater degree of excitement produced by kis appearance. The house was crowded in every part, and presented an . aspect of more than usual brilliancy. When Mario same forward as Arturo in the Puritani, be was greeted with peals of applause, which were prolonged for several minutes. He looked remarkably well, and was full of vigour and energy. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The pro priet, r of this popular place of amusement has prepared for the season's exhibition a gigantic modelled picture of Sebastopol, carefully prepared from the best authorities, and painted by Mr. Dawson from drawin_Ji made on the spot specially for the purpose. An attempt will be made to give the public a satr-factory idea of the mili tary operations of attack and defence, as now ca,ried on by the belligerent forces. That nothing may be want ing to give reality to the scene, a c .nsiderable number of the soldiers wounded at Alma, Ba l akkva, and Inker man, will take part in the mimic sorties and other mancenvres of the siege. EXTRAORDINARY ACT OF SELF-MUTILATION. A youi , g tradesman of Exeter, named Ramsher, committed a foolish and dangerous act of self-mutilation on Mon day last. He was intoxicated, and, ha wing gon-) into his workshop, took up an axe, and placed his left hand on the bench, saving to an apprentice that he should not be long before he was in the hospital. He then deli berately aimed a heavy blow at his wrist, inflicting a wound so severe as nearly to sever the hand from time L A TEST NT 7 r 44; RESIGNATION OF GENERAL CANROBERf. PARIS, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 7.30 A.M. The Moiritewr announces that his Majesty tht Emperor has received the following despatch from General Canrobert "CRIMEA, MAY 16, 11 A.M. "My shattered health no longer allowing me to continue in the chief command, my duty to wards my Sovereign and my country compels me to ask you to transfer the command to General Pelessier, a skilful and experienced leader. ' " The army which I leave him is intact, har- dened to war, full of ardour and confidence. I beseech the Emperor to leave me a soldier's place (place de combatant) as commander of a simple The Minister of War has addressed the follow- ing reply to General Canrobert : "PARIS, MAY 16, 11 A.M. " The Emperor accepts your resignation. He regrets that your health has suffered; he congra- ,ulates you upon the sentiment which makes you ask to remain with the army, where you shall have the command, not of a division, but of the corps of General Pelessier. "Hand over the chief command to that General," FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The Moniteur publishes a decree, ordering that . . the triennial renewal of one-third of the member: of the councils of arrondissement shall take place on the 2d and 3d June next. The Moniteui promulgates the budget for 1856. as passed by the Legislative Body and the Senate, and which shows a definitive surplus of 3,3U0,204fr. The Minister of War, in conformity with a deci sion of the Emperor, has just prescribed that all the men. of the class of 1847, now serving with their regiments in France, shall be liberated on the Is , June next. Those of the same class now in the East, Africa, and Italy will be liberated on th 4 arrival of the young soldiers of the last contingent at the war battalions. Gen. Walsin.Esterhazy, who commands the sub division of the Eure, has been appointed to thc command of a brigade of cavalry in the army of dm East. The Altben, the Omnibus, the Napoleon, and the Express, steamers on tue Rhone, took down on Monday and Tuesday from Lyoni to Valence 755,000 kilogrammes of war materiel, consisting of gunpowder, shells, fusees, cannons, and balls. This enormous mass of articles was at onto taken to the railway and conveyed to Marseilles. The Indus steam-packet left Marseilles on the 14th for Constant , nople, having on board 350 mei. belonging to different corps. Among them wer( 128 Poles incorporated in the foreign legion. The trial of the conspirators accused of having constructed an infernal machine at Perenchier, with a view to kill the Emperor, will come on before the Imperial Court of Douai in a few days. Colonel Frossard, who commands the French engineers of the 2d corps d'armee of the East, has been promoted to the rank of general of brigade, in the room of General Dalesme, made general of division. Another steam gun-boat, the Aigrette, was launched on Wednesday from the yard of M. Nor wand, at Havre, and immediately taken into the dock to have her engine and boilers fitted. An equestrian statue in bronze of Napoleon 111 was on Wednesday erected on a pedestal opposite the eastern front of the Ex'aibition Palace. TIP statue is of the size of nature, and was cast by M. Gaillard, from a model by M. Debay. The Em peror is represented iu the uniform of a general officer,, and is mounted on a magnificent horse. His Majesty holds the reins in the left hand, and is saluting with his hat in the right. Capt. Exelmans, who lately commanded the im perial yacht Reine Hortense, has been appointed to the command of the floating battery the Devas tation. THE CRIMEAN MED &LS. PRESENTATION BY H.ER MAJESTY. (THIS DAY.) This morning a ceremony of a most brilliant and im posing description, though differing ert;rely in its cha rat 1- from any that the people of this country ha, e ;a-en accustomed to w►toess throughout a 101 l :cries of years, was performed by her mist gra cious Majesty the Queen. We need scarcely cay we allude to the distribution of the Crimean medal to the officers, non-commissioned officer , , and privates f the different cavalry and infantry regiments of the line who have so gallantly distinguished themselves at Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman, and who have returned home wounded or invalided. Included in the presentation were a number of the naval brigade, who so nobly did luty in the trenches. The scene was one that will not, we imagine, be :eadily forgotten, inasmuch as it served to impress till more forcibly on the minds of those who were oresent the sad reality that we are no longer exclusively engaged in a peaceful rivalry with the world in the arts )f civilisation, but that, so far as a portion of it at least is concerned, we are, in conjunction with an , tion—once our bitterest enemies, but now our firm and sincere allies —embarked in a struggle involving all th© horrors of war in their most direful form;and against a formidable And unscrupulous foe—a struggle, too, in which some of the best and bravest blood of the country has already been shed, and which, it is to be feared, will demand, ere its termination, a still greater sacrifice of devoted lives. At the sometime the scene was a truly touching one, for it furnished another striking proof of the warn sym pathy our beloved Queen individually feels for her brave soldiers for the unparalleled sufferings which they have endured, and no less the admiration she entertains of their splendid achievements, in spite of dangers and difficulties which can scarcely be exaggerated. There, too, were those heroic men of whom we have heard so much and read so much ; there were the survivors of the oever-to-be-forgotten Light Cavalry charge ; -there were the dauntless Guards, the stalwart Highlanders, and the keen-eyed Riflemen, whose services in their respective capacities have so well sustained the spotless reputation :f the British arms. Many of these, too, bore upon them more or less severe indications of the dreadful con- rests in which they had taken so conspicuous a part, and which the well-merited distinction awarded to them is intended to commemorate. The splendid spectacle took place in the spacious : wade at the rear of the Horse Guards, nearly the vhole of which, f•irining an immense square, was barri ,eded off. In the centre a raised dais, or platferet, of olerably large dimensions, approached by three steps, tad been laid down for the accommodation of her Ma jesty, Prince Albert. the officers of state and suite. This •as covered with bright crimson cloth, and surrounded aith an elegant brass railing. From the centre rose a flagstaff, from which, when her Majesty arrived, he Royal standard was displayed. A balcony, also tastefully fitted up and festooned, and sur mounted by an awning, was erected above the tive under the Horse Guards building, and overlook lig the dais for the reception of the R Family and he Duchesses of Kent and Gloucester. Besides this, 'xtensive galleries for the accommodation of spectators sere erected at the rear of the different G !vert-limit •ffices, and also two of capacious dimensions for the Ise of the members of the two houses of Parliament. The morning opened beautifully fine—in fact, the veather was proverbially "her M aj asty's," and for long be here 9 o'clock the arrivals of the fashionable occupants ,f the galleries referred to were incessant until they vere soon completely filled. In the meanwhile, the mpen space outside the barriers became flooded wish thou :ands of people of all classes eager to catch a glimpse of ,he proceedings ; whilst the roofs and balconies of the Horse Guards, the Admiralty, the Treasury, and other ;overnment buildings, as well as of the whole of the surrounding private residences, as far as the eye could reach, = were covered with perfect myriads of human wings. About half-past nine o'clock, the troops in ended to take part in the ceremony began to arrive, egiment by regiment, and defiled into the enclosure, preceded by their bands. These consisted of the Scots Fusiliers, and the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards, the whole of whom appeared for the first time in their new tunic uniform, and a brigade of avalry, consisting of two squadrons of Life Guards and Carbineers, under the command of Colonel Wood. rhe last to make their appearance were the wounded and invalid soldiers, who marched on to the ground in excel ent order, considering what they ha% e undergone. They were an exceedingly fine body of men, from various • eeiments, and officers, non-commissioned officers, and irivates numbered about 600 men. In order to add to he effect of the whole scene, drafts of young soldiers vere sent in from the following regiments :—The 21st, 33d, 39th, 41St, 42d, 47th, 50th, 521, 53th, 63d, 69th, 72d, 89th, and 93d. The Naval Brigade and Marines, attended by their land, were the last arrivals. The ground to the left of the dais was occupied by the cavalry and a portion if the Guards, whilst the remainder of the Guards, the Naval Brigade, and the miscellaneous drafts took up their positions on the opposite side, the recipients of the medal being drawn up in line in front of the dais. The general command was undertaken by Major -general the Earl of Cardigan, who on arriving oil the ground vas loudly cheered—as also was his Royal Highness she Duke of Cambridge, who acted as field-officer in command far the d,y. Within the barricades, and between them and the lines of sentries who kept the ground, assembled as eleven ,'clock approached, the hour at which it was announced that her Majesty would arrive, vast crowds of fashion ably-dressed la lies and gentlemen, to whim the privilege had been granted, and intermingled with these were large numbers of officers of militia and yeomariry, whose Brilliant uniforms added considerably to the splendour and variety of the scene. At the same time, the spec tacle was evidently intended as a purely military one, and accordingly the accommodation of the troops on the spot appeared to have been more considered than that if the general public, who, by the arrangements we eave pointed out, were kept at a considerably distance. The populace, however, shifted as well as they could for themselves ; and, being unable to obtain a very close view of the ceremony, they thronged the space outside the barriers and the park avenues—they climbed the trees, railings, and walls everywhere adjacent—and, still further off, the Monument, the steps of the Duke if York's Column, and the outlets from the parade, were literally swarmed by the eager mu titude. Shortly before the arrival of her Majesty, the coup d'ceil, on every side, was one of glittering magnificence, and was full of pleasing variety and contrast. The bright uniform and accoutrements of the troops, the light and elegant attire of the ladies in the galleries, and the thick •nasses of people, combined to form a tout ensemble which cannot readily be described. The general im pression, too, of the whole was considerably enhanced by the martial strains of the different bands, which re lieved one another in close succession. As the Horse Guards clock at length pealed forth 11 the music ceased, and a deep low confus'ed murmur of expectation rose from amidst the dense crowd of human beings. In two or three minutes afterwards, with the punctuality which invariably characterises the appearance of her Majesty on public occasions, the escort' of Life Guards dashed under the archway into the esplanade, and the arrival of the Queen was announced by the roar of artillery in the ' park. Immediately the royal standard was hoisted, and the whole' of the bands in concord struck up the sublime notes of the national anthem, which were, however, almost drowned in the unanimous and enthusiastic shouts of welcome and greeting which resounded from •thousands of loyal throats. Her Majesty, who was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, and attended by her Ladips in Waiting and a numerous suite, was received -on alighting-au the dais by Viscount H ardiege, Com mander -in-Chiei, his Royal Hignese the Duke of Celia --bridge, the Earl of Cardigan, and a di-tinguished c;r,le of nffieers, and was immediately conducted to her chair of state on the platform. The ce?eniony was then proceeded with, the . bands the m alternatelyedaplayed in slow elmowar ci t i i , m a e nd an t d he in re e c , i n p g ir e ts fi o le f l defiled past where her Majesty was standing, and each received his medal as he passed from the hands of the Queen herself. Her Majesty was assi-ted in the ceremo ny by Prince A lbert and the Duke of Cambridge.. The D uke himself, and the Earl of Cardi gan, were the first t o receive the decoration, and did so amidst vociferous cheering. Then followed the Light Cavalry heroes, next the Guards, then the other Infantry Regiments of time Line, next . the Rifles, afterwards the the Marines. Several of the cnodt; finally,-s e d officers were recognised, oaNnffiadev e a wr l se ß r ae r ni greeted ßrigade, cul non n a . with applause, particularly Sir Thos: Troubridge, Bart., who has unfortunately suffered the loss of both legs, and was drawn in a Bath chair. The distribution occupied about an hour, and must have been somewhat fatiguing to her Majesty. At the close of this portion of the ceremony, the invalids and the whole of the troops on the grosalie were passed in review in line before the Queen, and afterwards in columns of troops. They were afterwards (formed into line so as to present three sides of a square -in Pont of the dais when they presented arms, and sa inted-her Majesty in the usual formal manner, the bands ill the while playing the National Anthem, and the RUSSIA. The following is a full synopsis of the Russia' despatch of the 30th of April last, addressed to M de Glinka, the Russian Representative at the Cour of Darmstadt and at the Diet of Frankfort : It commences by stating that the Conferences had arrived at a point when it would depend upon the Western Powers wfiether the negotiation: would lead to any result or not. It was therefore advisable to consider the precise state of the ques tion, especially as regards the first two points. The despatch then indicates the interpretation of the two paints as resulting from the protocols of ! the Conference I. to V., pointing out the conde scension of Russia which contributed to that solu tion. To become binding that solution would require consecration by a treaty. Should the Conferences he broken off nothing could oblige the Powers that took part therein to maintain the interpretation. Russia, nevertheless, regards the understanding agreed'upon respecting the two points as a useful and acquired result, to which the assent of both parties had been given. , As those two points concern particularly Germal, interests, this declaration, in disengaging those in terests, ought to confirm the States of Germany in their determination to remain strangers to the struggle, and to maintain a strict neutrality. • The Russian Envoy is requested to communicate the despatch to the German Envoys at the German Diet, to be communicated by them to their respec tive Courts. arm. BRITISH FOREIGN LEGION.—We are requested to state that well-educated and intelligent non-cotienissi fined officers in the army, who are experienced in the duties of the paymaster's, quatterrna,ter'e, and adjutant's office, are eligible as candidates fur commissions as quarter masters in the British Foreign Legion, now about to be organised immediately, partly at Shorecliffe, camp, in Kent, and partly at Heligoland. No candidate need apply without unexceptionable testimonials as to good character and efficiency from his commanding officer. The Legion will consist of cavalry, infantry, and artil lery. Applications will be received by Colonel Kinloch, Inspector, British Foreign Legion, War Department, Whitehall. THE NEW BISHOP OF SIERRA LEONE.—Yesterday (Ascension -day) the ceremony of consecrating the Bishop designate of Sierra Leone, the Rev. John Weeks, D.D., took place at the old church of St. Mary, I Lambeth, in the presence of the Archbishop of Canter bury and the Bishops of London, Oxford, and Winches ' ter. The order of the proceedings on these occasions is so well known that to describe the long and formal rou tine would be tedious. There was the full morning ser vice, with a sermon, after which the patent of the new bishop was read seriatim, and the ceremony of consecra tion commenced. The holy sacrament was afterwards administered to the newly-consecrated prelate and to such of the congregation as were not too fatigued by the enormous length of the previous service to remain. A. printed form was distributed among the co'bgregatioi , particularly requesting that those who did not wish to receive the eucharist would not leave the church till the prayer for the church militant had been read. The con gregation was a crowded one. NEW BARRACKS AT COLCHESTER.—It is confidently stated that during the present year Colchester will be come a garrison town. During the past week, Colonel Wolfe, of the Engineers, made a minute inspection of the Government ground in the vicinity of the town, with a view to the erection of barracks for 5,000 met,. The ordnance field, of about 30 acres, we understand will be occu.pied by wooden huts, in blocks, each calcu lated to wicomrnodate a battalion of 500, thus providing for 3,00 '). The huts for the remainder will be erected on the old barrack ground, of 14 acres. The town sur veyr,r has sketched out a plan for the drainage. It is supposed that the huts will differ materially from those of the Aldershott encampment, which are said to be anything but models for imitation. We hear the con tracts for their erection will be offered to the tradesmen of the town.—Essex Herald. PROPOSED WIDENING OF HineGERPORD BRIDGE, AND NEW LONDON RAILWAY. —Yesterday, the COM. mittee on Metropolitan Communications met in room No. 18, House of Commons. Mr. Giles, C.E., was examined, and produced plans for the purpose of form ing a tunnel railway from the London and North-West ern Railway to effect a junction with Hungerford-bridge, over which it would pass on to the South-Western Rail way. From this point it was proposed to carry on arches a branch line of railway to London-bridge, which would completely unite all the railways on the south side of the river with those of the north, affording the public great fauilitie,s of passing from one to the other, and at the same time would relieve the streets of London of a great deal of its crowded traffic. In Oxford-street the tunnel would be 32 feet below the surface, and the tunnel itself would be 23 feet in height. There would be no engi neering difficulties. Mr. Bayley, engineer to Hunger ford-bridge, said it was proposed to widen the bridge 50 feet, and by two girders in the centre to strengthen the bridge. The entire cost of the tunnel and bridge was estimated at two millions.
