Last evening the successful stni practised pen of Planehe aas again nailed into requisition by the talented lessee of this favourite place of entertainment, to provide an Easter offering for the entertainment of the holiday folks of London. This time he has not taken his extravaganza from the Countess D'Aubnoy, but has chosen rather to depend upon his own fertile imagination, and last night added another to the many triumphs he has already achieved," the piece being decidedly good, and affording the highest gra tification to one of the most crowded audiences ever con gregated within the walls of the Haymarket Theatre. The extravaganza, which is entitled The New. Haymarket Spring Meeting, commences in the interior of Guildhall, in which London (Mrs. Caroline White) is aroused from slumber by an early morning call from Time (Mr. Chippen dale), who, after showing her'the error of her ways, and re marking the advisability of mending them, takes his depar tare. Landon, in her difficulty, appeals in vain to Gog and Magog for assistance, when the Lord Mayor's Fool (Mr. Buckstone) comes to the rescue, and, as London may not have another opportunity, he shows her a " City Dagger-o'- type" of the Lord Mayor's Show by land and water. Hein troduces the procession in a fog, and, that it may be better seen and appreciated, suggests that it should for the future take place on the Ist of April, instead of the 9th of Ne i+ vembar. The kindly influence of " Lord Moon" is invoked, and he recommends London to apply for aid to her sister, Westminster (Miss Harriett Gordon), who shortly after wards makes her appearance, and lectures London on the necessity of reforming. Belgravia and Ty'burnia, the adopted daughters of Westminster, are then introduced to their aunt London, when the whole party agree to visit the New Haymarket Spring Meeting, but first adjourn to " Architectural Elevations of the Extramural City of Lon don and Standard Theatres, and Britannia and Grecian Saloons," the attractions of which places of amusement are -duly sung by their respective representatives, while their peculiarities are significantly remarked upon by the Lord Mayor's Fool. The grand stand "on Ups and Downs" is then the scene of attraction, and after Janet Pride, the Yellow Dwarf, Louis XL, and other old favourites, trotted out by time, have been introduced, all the various amuse ments entered for the London and Westminster Easter Stakes are led in by their respective jockeys. After their points have bean duly descanted upon, they take a "pre liminary galope," made the start, but leave time and the public to decide who is the winner. The extravaganza is throughout exceedingly well written, and renders any hint as to judicious punning quite unnecessary. The jokes all told, were in the best of taste, and recalled no mournful recollections of departed Joe Millers; and, judging from the unqualified approbation bestowed on the piece, and the efforts of all concerned in it, by a crowded audience, Mr. Buckstone may make no doubt as to success backing his " extravaganza" almost to any amount for the London and Westminster Easter Stakes. THE PRINCESS'S. A romance in two acts, entitled The Muleteer of Toledo, or King, Queen, and Knave, adapted from an opera with a similar title lately produced at the Theatre Lyrique, was tho piece de resistance provided at the Princess's last night. The plot of this romantic drama is not easily described within moderate compass. The young Queen of Murcia (Miss Carlotta Leclercq) is a young lady who is more given to liberty and masquerading than to the confinement of a court and the solemn duties of state. She takes it into her royal head to make a matutinal excursion, disguised as a peasant girl, and accompanied by her confidential lady in waiting, the Donna Carmen (Miss Murray), habited as a masculine rustic, for the purpose of making a personal ac quaintance with her cousin, Don Sancho, brother of the King of Castile, to whom she is to be married, in accord ance with the desire of her father, the late King of Murcia. Don Sancho, she is informed, is also for some reason tra velling incog., under the undignified name, and supporting the character, of one Manuel the Muleteer. The adven turous sovereign is about to be subjected to the rough salu tations of a posses of muleteers and villagers at the coun try posado where she has gone, when she purchases ex emption from the kissing tax by dancing a fandango, which she does to ravishment. Manuel the Muleteer (Mr. Walter Lacy) then appears, and , saves her from further molesta tion of the rustics; and love at first sight is the natural consequence of the personal acquaintance thus auspiciously begun between her Majesty and the person she believes to be the disguised Don Sancho of Castile. But another per son arrives on the scene, Don Pedro (Mr. James Vining), the pretender to the throne, and he, struck with the re markable likeness of the young country girl to the queen, is sorely puzzled to know whether she is the real sovereign or not. Now, he inclines to the first opinion, and frames a plot to have her arrested on her return to her capital; and then, believing she is only 'what she seems, he lays a scheme to have her produced before her court, and to get her to make a declaration of abdication in his favour, while the real queen shall be conveyedprivately to a convent. In these schemes the traitorous Don Pedro is assisted by Count Torribio de Pompolo (Mr. Harley), the most amusingly sagacious of Cabinet Ministers, and by Don Scipio (Mr. G. Everett). But the plotters find that the little queen, young as she is, is more than a match for all their crafty plots and stratagems. She dresses tilt) magnificent Coim tess de Pompolo (Mrs. Winstanley) in the royal robes, and this august representative of majesty, at least six yards in circumference, is arrested, instead of the slim and sylph like monarch. She escapes from the custody of her gaoler, the Count de Pompolo, who thereby forfeits his head to his master, Don Pedro. She alternately plays the Queen and the peasant to aduntration. She outwits all the con spirators, marries the muleteer, refuses to abdicate on any pretence ; and completes her triumph by discovering that the man of her choice is no other than Sebastian, King of Castile, in propria persona. It is unnecessary to say that Miss Leclercq was the soul of the piece, and a most en chanting soul she was.. She danced, shp sang, she co quetted, she filled the throne, and she eiatertained her princely and rustic admirers with equal graco and vivacity. Mr. Harley also infused a large share of comic humour into the piece, and Miss Murray and Mrs. Winstanley con tributed, the latter in an immense degree, to its success. The scenery introduced was very pretty, and a tambourine dance by the ladies of the corps de ballet was beautifully arranged, and is likely to become very popular. Altogether the Muleteer of Toledo was a decided hit, and was an nounced for repetition amidst enthusiastic applause. The house was crovrdod. ADELPHI. Mr. Webster last night presented his audience with an excellent entertainment, consisting of a revival, known as the Mysterious Stranger, and an extravaganza, called the Fairy Tales of .Bother Goose, said to be from the pen of Mr. Mark Lemon. The extravaganza affords a • popular illustration of a number of well-known and l o ng-cherished nursery tales strung together into some sort of continuity. To a. certain extent the same characters run through the whole series, and thus, instead of ;a number of perfectly isolated pictures, one is made very much to depend upon the others. The tales which aro thus linked into unity are " The Story of my Life," by Mother Goose, " The Three Wishes," " Little Bed Ilidinghood," " Cinderella," and " The Sleeping Beauty." From each of those some of the most apt passages have been selected, and with consider able ingenuity ;they have been made to run on into one harmonious whole. How this is accomplished it would, perhaps, not be prudent to attempt to tell. There is a profuse amount of excellent dancing also by Mesdemoiselles Benoni, Maraquita, l'enfant brie d'amour, aril the corps de ballet—but, perhaps, the most telling portions of the extravaganza are the parodies of well-known passages from the more popular of the Italian Operas, which were admi rably rendered by Paul Bedford and Miss Mary Keeley. Miss Woolgar sustained no less than five different parts, changing her dress and appearing in her new character w ith marvellous rapidity. In each she w as e q u ally at home, and whether dancin g a horn p i p e, fi g htin g a " terri fic combat" with Paul Bedford in the real old " Blan chard and Freer" style, ape in g the fine gentleman , or wh at not, u a she gave equal satisfa ction. Miss W y ndham, wh o enacted Mother Goose, perfor med almost e q ual p rodi g ie s ; and Mr. J. Bland, and the oth er members of the com pany, did full justice to their respective roles. The musi c , arranged and composed by Mr. Mellon, is lively and appr o p r i a t e ; and a ltogether, the extravagan za ma y be regarded as success ful, although the a uthor did not obtain the customary nonvacetioonf.goTodhitshwinagss , owing, which te perhaps, nd to cloy therather to appetite, the abund ance thnn to the absence of those choice morccaux whi • ch stimu late it. OLYMPIC. There was no Easter piece produced last night at the Olympic. The performances consisted of a comedietta by M r . Wigan, a farce by Mr. Dance, and th e Y ellow Dwarf. Mr. George Vining and Miss Castlet on made their fist a ppearance at the Olympic in the comeclietta. The lady is a pleasing actress, and was well received. She was called before the curtain at the end of the piece. Mr. Vining also met with a favourable reception, th oug h h i s success was not so decided as that of Miss Castleton. In the yellow Dwarf, which has been performed every night since Christmas, Mr. Robson was irresistible. The theatre was thronged in every part. SURREY. Notwithstanding the absence of any piece of the spec tacle kind, the engagement of Nir. Wright, the comedian, from the Adelphi, who was announced to appear in each of the three pieces selected for the evening's entertain ment, was a great source of attraction to visitors, and long before the usual hour for admitting the public the doors were besieged by an gager crowd of plea sure-seekers. Shortly after the opening- of the doors the house was crowded in every part, and throughout the evening the greatest good humour prevailed. The audience had evidently come prepared to see and hear all that could, be seen and heard, and a more respectable and orderly assembly has seldom graced the interior of the Surrey. There was tho usual circulation of bcor and other stimulants in the pit and gallery, bu the audience were quiet and attentive, and the pu g ili s ti c abilities of the rougher sex were rarely called into exer cise. The pieces selected by the lessees for the evening's 04111110111011 t WKO rkfOrfnet ,Precious IMOVU: and the Wreck Ashore. Each piece was well put upon the stage, the various characters were admirably sustained, and, on the whole, the audience were highly delighted wAh the Raster fare provided for them. ASTLEY'S. The Field against the Favourite is the title of the Easter piece at this favourite place of amusement. It is from the pen of Mr. Nelson Lee, and will, without doubt, prove highly attractive. The drama has a more clearly deve loped plot than an Easter spectacle can always boast. A young man stakes his all upon his horse Snapdragon, which is the first favourite for the Derby. Snapdragon is the best horse, p,nd is sure to win, but the villain of the piece manages to gain over his trainer, a jockey of the old school, very well acted by Mr. Campbell, and adminis ters a drug to the horse, which, with rare intelligence, instantly drops in his stable as if senseless. Then we have the Derby course at Epsom, never perhaps put upon the stage with so much spirit and completeness, with its motley multitude of Ethiopian serenaders, Cockey horsemen, fashionably-attired ladies, swell drags, costermongers ? and police. The bell rings, the horses start and gallop across the stage as in a real race ; the favourite is, of course, "nowhere," and the owner is a ruined man. His perse cutor next determines to destroy the horse by fling the stables, and the stables in flames present a grand tableau of blazing rafters, falling roofs, and red fire. Snapdragon is, however, previously removed by his trainer, and in the second act the favourite turns up in Ireland, where he is the "dark horse" of a grand race on the Curragh of Kil dare. Another grand triumphal tableau in the market place of Kildare exhibits the favourite victorious against the field. The jockey "squares the race," restores Snap dragon to his owner, who had believed that he was de stroyed in tha conflagration, and the scene ends with the triumph of persecuted virtue and the punishment of the de tected villain. The "Scenes in the Arena" followed, in which we had the dashing riding Mdlle. Blanche as Joan of Arc, and also the graceful performances of the fascinat ing Emily Cooke. Daring the recess the theatre has been elegantly renovated and decorated by Messrs. Latilla, and a splendid military act drop by Mr. Fenton perpetuates the glories and tragic interest of the grand cavalry charge, which the resources of Mr. Cooke's admirable steed en abled him recently to reproduce with so much scenic effect. It affords unalloyed pleasure to witness the tide of success which has set in at this theatre, for no manager ever exerted himself more than Mr. Cooke has done to merit the approbation of his patrons. SADLER'S WELLS. The legitimate dramatic monarch of the north having for a season abdicated his throne, his territory was last night invaded by a small, but powerful body from the more central regions of the Strand, who, deserted, unfor tunately, from a sad necessity, by their own late chief, had banded together with the praiseworthy purpose of supplying the inhabitants of " merrie Islyngtone" with that Easter amusement which otherwise would have been wanting to them. In other words, the Lyceum company, headed by Mr. Frank Matthews, vice Charles " of that ilk," commenced a short season at this theatre last evening, with a view, apparently, of testing whether the solid and more elevated tastes which Mr. Phelps has so assiduously and so successfully cultivated among the audiences of this locality had entirely destroyed their natural appreciation of the lighter and more ephemeral school of dramatic art. The comic drama of Husbands Rejoice, or: Serves him right, was the first piece, in which the only variation from the original cast was the substitution of Mr. F. Robinson for Mr. C. Mathews, and it is but fair to the former gentleman to say that, notwithstanding the severity of the compari son, he acquitted himself with considerable credit. The Cozy Couple, in which, as in the former piece, the admir able natural acting of Mr. and Mrs. F. Matthews was fully appreciated by the audience, followed, and the perform-, ances concluded with the farce of Two Heads are Better than One, in which the drolleries of Mr. Roxby served to complete the entertainment of the evening. STRAND THEATRE. King Queer and his Daughters Three, the Easter novelty here, is, as its name will suggest, one of the Shaksperian burlesques which have been produced in such numbers and with so great success at this theatre. Tho main incidents of the original are followed pretty closely in the travestie, except that, in deference to the festive season, the tragic and to which Shakspere brings the principal personagd of the play is avoided by the timely repentance of the two ungrateful daughters, and the consequent restoration of the aged monarch to his sceptre, and the union of Cordelia to Edgar, who has followed the King about in his wander ings in the guise of a " Wandering Minstrel." The great strength of the piece, however, lies in the songs, which abound in such numbers as almost to entitle it to the de scription of a musical entertainment, but, as the most of these fall to the share of Miss Rebecca Isaacs, who com bines the parts of Cordelia and the Fool, the audience, it may be taken for granted, have no reason to complain. Mr. J. Halford, as King Queer, did something more than burlesque the deposed King ; his acting at times was marked by an energy and pathos which greatly contri buted to the success of the piece. We must not forget to mention, too, the spirit and vivacity with which Miss F. Beaumont. played the part of Oswald, who is transformed for the nonce into a sakehelly page. The, dresses, dla Leech (in the "Comic History of England"), are excellent, and the scenery and appointments tasteful and elegant. CREMORNE GARDENS. Although the season for out-door recreation has not yet commenced, Mr. Simpson, the proprietor of these beauti ful grounds, in accordance with an annual custom, yester day threw open the gates of Cremorne to the holiday makers. Notwithstanding that the trees are leafless, and that the place does not display the thousand natural beauties m wh us ic t h er g o e f ni v a i l si s t u o m rs m , i e n r c n a o ll s s m in a t ll o m be e i a n s g, ure th a e t r t e ra w c t a e s d w g e o m a d a l y y presume, by the excellent entertainment which had been provided for them. The great feature of the day was to have been an allegory of the Goddess Flora, distributing her spring favours from the car of a balloon ; but this the boisterous state of the evening prevented from being car ried out, which, though felt by the visitors as a great dis appointment, was nevertheless borne with great good tem per, and rather appeared to increase the enjoyment of the many good things which followed. We must not forget the earlier amusements. They were excellent of their kind, which will not be doubted when we mention the Russelli Brothers and Daughter, in their extraordinary gymnastic efforts and tight-rope performance, and Mackey, the inimitable negro delineator. Of the dance-music by Mr. Hayward and his talented band, the illuminations, and the pyrotechnic display, it is no more than justice to say that they were excellent, fully bearing out the charac ter they have for so many seasons sustained. MISCELLANEOUS EX lIIBITIONS. BURFORD'S PANORAMAS. —The Battle of the Alma has been for some time past the chief attraction of the three panoramas exhibited by the clever and diligent Mr. Bur ford, in Leicester-squa.re. This picture has commanded a vast measure of patronage, partly because of the grave and peculiar interest attached to the , subject, and partly be cause of its extraordinary pictorial merit as a battle piece. Let us once more commend this fine painting to the notice of the public. It is quite equal in artistic excellence to anything produced before under the joint hands of Mr. Burford and his able coadjutor, Mr. Scions; and this is no mean panegyric. The view of Berlin, we hear, will be shortly removed to make way for a viow of Sebastopol, which, as it will occupy the largest of the three circles, permitting the'portraiture of the celebrated fortress and its accessorial features upon a large scale, will, doubtless, prove enormously attractive. GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION. —The events of the war are copiously embodied at ithis popular place of resort, to which we have so often alluded in terms of praise and admiration. The most recent pictures, as we have before described, consist of the Battle of Inkerman, the Storm in the Black Sea, and the memorable Cavalry Charge at Balaklava, to which has just been added the Rail way at Balaklava, the details of which are portrayed with singular effect and apparent vraisemblance. The ex hibition, at the present juncture, is oue of great interest. The artists have consulted the best authorities as regards the localities which they have undertaken to illustrate, as sisted by sketches made upon the spot, and the narratives of eye - witnesses. But it is not only as a pictorial record of the Crimean war that the exhibition is remarkable. The various scenes are treated with a degree of skill which dis tinguishes them highly in an artistic point of view, eNcel lent drawing, luminous colouring, and force of contrast, being uniformly conspicuous. An advantage of no small moment is found in the circumstance of Mr. Stocqueler being still the individual whose function it is to explain the pictures. This gentleman is probably one of the best interlocutors of this class that we have. An easy manner, conversational fluency, and practical acquaintance with the East, are not always the characteristics of our public lecturers. PA NOPTICON.—Efforts have been made by the directors of this large establishment to replenish it with novelties for thie delectation and instruction of the holiday folks. The dioramic views have consequently been multiplied, and the scenes in the Crimea which are now on view are as good and effective as anything of the sort that from time to time has come under our notice. The lectures on popular science take place as usual, and there are some elucidations of "Life in Pompeii," which, although we have not yet witnessed them, are doubtless entertaining, or a capital subject has been indifferently treated, which is not very likely to be the case. A dioramic view of the moon tracing her way in the " starry heavens" is announced for representation on Saturday morning. These several matters, joined with the performance on the colossal organ, the large electrical machine, the transparent divin g bell, the works of art, the scientific models, and the nume rous specimens of ingenious handicraft with which the place is crowded, to say nothing of the luminous fountain, and the architectural wonders of the building itself, make up a round of amusements which cannot be surpassed in interest and variety. WYLD'S GLOBE.—Although this superb illustration of th e physical geography of the earth can never fail to be without public interest, the model of Sebastopol, which is associated witch it, coAti4Ates, p4tizraDY enough, to PibfiC* the chief attention. We have so often spoken of this nteresting dellrea,tion of the great fortress of the Crimea and the surrounding country that allusion to it now is al most, superfluous. It drew a vast number of visitors yelterdev, who listened with great attention to the clear and: comprehensive description of the lecturers provided by Mr. Wyld, and many impressions respecting th, stronghold and the operations of the war were ob tained which no account, " official" or "special," could possibly of themselves suggest. The cast of the model, to ken a week or two since by Mr. Wyld to Paris, has' met with even a larger amount of public atten tion, and tho approbation of the Emperor as to its truth has been testified in a marked and gratifying manner. We may- mention that the movements and positions of the allied forces receive periodical correction as the reports come over, and that the latest acts of hostility are dis cussed by the lecturers with a fulness that cannot but be gravely instructive when the precise spot and its local bearings are under the eye of the spectator. LOVE'S LONDON SEASON. --Among the most popular places of amusement now open is the Upper Hall of the Regard Gallery, Quadrant, which is the present theatre of the eatertaiuments given by Mr. Love, the well-known and much-admired ventriloquist, whose dramatic and poly phonic powers are superior to those of any other professor of the - ventriloquial art now before the public. The enter tainme.at given last evening was that called " The London Season ;" and to witness it there assembled a numerous and reap ectable audience, whose hearty laughter and ,re peated plaudits testified to their abundant appreciation of the efforts made for their amusement. KAHN'S MUSEUM.—This popular gallery of anatomical models has recently been removed from the Salle Robin to more commodious apartments at No. 4, Coventry -street. The collection now embraces an extensive variety of sub jects in illustration of the anatomy of the human being, and also the diseases, the malformations, &c., to which it is liable. Dr. Kahn, whose industry in gathering together fresh models is no less remarkable than his skill in produc ing them with life-like reality, is aided aby well-informed and fluent expositor in the person of Dr. Sexton, whose periodical lectures are of a class suited to the comprehen sion of the public generally. Knowledge of this kind is not usually imparted in our systems of education ; but acquaintance with the principles and machinery of existence, of the local functi . ons of the body, and of what is likely to impede or derange health, cannot surely be im proper or undesirable. It is this that Dr. Sexton essays to instil by his daily discourses ; and, as he confines him - self to practical disquisitions upon the human frame, and the wondrous machinery by which it acts, exception can scarcely be taken as regards the propriety of popularly discussing subjects hitherto confined to the professional or purely scientific student. THE AncryLL Rooms.—Since the inspiriting Polkas and graceful Schottisches which were introduced by the in defatigable Jnllien, we have had positively nothing worthy of the appellation of a new dance to enliven the inonoton ,,us round of our ball-room performances. In this Terpsi chorean stagnation our vivacious and inventive neighbours the French, who invariably come to-our aid under such circumstances, have hit upon a new idea, which they have worked out under the designation of "La Varsoviana,' and 31. Laurent has imported it to the Argyll Rooms. It is a most graceful and fascinating dance, and at the same time is easily acquired. The music, which has been com posed by 31. Laurent, is exceedingly pretty. We have little doubt but that it will become a decided ball-room favourite. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—This most splendid of all public exhibitions attracted yesterday no inconsiderable share of the patronage of the London sight-seers. The number of people who entered the Crystal Palace was, perhaps, about 8,000 or 9,000, and we only wonder that a still larger crowd did not assemble on such an occasion to witness such an unparalleled collection of the brightest and most beautiful creations of ancient and modern artistic genius. MR. • ALBERT SMITH'S ENTERTAINMENT.—The pretty Swiss Cottage at the Egyptian Hall was again opened last night, and was of course crowded to excess. FINE ARTS. BRITISH MUSEU3l.—Yesterday brought large numbers of visitors to the British Museum. When there are so many objects to attract notice and divert attention, it is natural that on so universal a holiday as Easter Monday all who are able should avail themselves of the opportunity of inspecting them. Little alteration has taken place since last Easter in the upper part of the building, and though accessions to the collections are continuously made no new gallery has been opened ; but on the ground floor a handsome gallery has lately been thrown open to the public, filled with Greek and Roman sculpture, principally from the Townley collection. Other galleries are in pre- I paration, and we may expect before long that a congrega tion of sculpture of all ages and nations will be formed in the British Museum. NATIONAL GALLERY.—This gallery was thronged yes terday with holiday visitors, who amused themselves by the inspection of the fine works of art it contains. In one of the rooms are displayed several examples of medimval art ; but these, though they excited the curiosity of some, could hardly be supposed to contribute much to the general entertainment. The principal attractions are; centred in the great room, where the works of Titian, Raffaello, Mu rillo, Paul Veronese, Rubens, Claude, and other great masters command the admiration of all who view them. THE MUSEUM OF ORNAMENTAL ART AT MARLBOROUGH HOUSE was a particular object of attraction to the holiday folks yesterday, who received mach entertainment from the inspection of its collection of objects of decorative art, engraved armour, porcelain of the finest character and most beautiful design, tapestry, bronzes, and works in silver and gold, carvings, painted glass, and in short of a great variety of articles in the execution of which elegance is combined with utility. THE VERNON COLLECTION, at Marlborough House, was visited by large numbers of persons yesterday. . BRITISH INSTITUTION.—The exhibition of pictures at this institution, by living British artists, is generally very well attended ; yesterday, of course, it received a conside rable accession to the usual number of its visitors. NATIONAL INSTITUTION OF THE FINE ARTS. —The same remark may be made with regard to this exhibition, which is now opened at the Portland Gallery, opposite the Poly technic Institution. Considering its recent establishment this society has made great progress, and the exhibition yesterday received its due share of public patronage. SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS.7-This exhibition, which has been open only a few days, displays a very good collec tion of works by living artists. It was well frequented yesterday.

Bouverie, who has so long represented these burghs, having accepted the office of Vice-Presi dent of the Board of Trade, a new election became necessary ; a wasad, ccordingly, it took pl ace on Saturday last. There a fair attendance so he liilmarnocle electors, as well as gentlemen from me of the other burghs. Provost DONALD, of Kilmarnock, proposed othitßMenes: Bouverie sho u ld b e aga i n re t urne d as member for the burghs of Kil marnock, Dumbarton, PortGlasg.w frees, and Rutherglen. Provost HOUSTON, of Renfrew, seconded the resolu. tion, and no other candidate being proposed, The SHERIFF declared Mr. Bouverie duly elected. Mr. BouvEnse, on coming forward, was received with much applause. He sand—lt is impossible for me not to be reminded of the circumstances and of the political aspect of affairs which existed at the time when I last solicited your suffrages, and to compare those circum stances and that political aspect with those e:cisting at the present time. We were then in a state of unexam pled prosperity ; our manufactures and our trade were increasing at a rate and to an extent unknown before in the history of this country. The taxes of the country were gradually being reduced, and the public burdens were becoming lighter. We were then, too, under the administration of a Tory and a Protectionist Govern ment ; and, list of all, sve were in a state of profound peace with foreign nations. (Hear, hear.) In the first place the Tory Government, whose policy was to re verse th 3 principles from which had arisen that great prosperity, died as a Government. It is dead, gone, and clean forgotten. Our trade, which was then ex panding in an unexampled manner, is now being cur tailed and is diminishin g . The taxes, which were then being lishtened and taken off, are now being increased ; and the state of peace which then existed has been converted into a state of foreign war —war with the most powerful, with the most formidable country in the world. Now, I believe that peace with foreign countries is the essential condition of our prosperity and welfare. But, at the same time, I believe that the war / in which we are at this moment engaged is justifiabl e on the only grounds on which it can be justified —namely, that it is just and necessary. I believe that what is in ferred in the term " balance of power" is a combination of the different States in Europe for the protection and security of the various members. It is just the same in reference to the nations of the world as it is in respect to the civil government of a community. What is the reason, for instance, that any one of you, and that I my self, can walk the streets in the most perfect security, end feel that cur lives and property are not liable to be assailed ? It is because we have all combined to protect ourselves from the aggression of those who might be de sirous to attack us. It is the same with foreign States. Unless France and England and those other kingdoms which occupy a leading position were to consider it their duty to co m bi ne f or th defence of their weaker brethren from those who assail them in the lust of empire, we " should soon see the whole of Europe in confusion, and ,iur very existence as a State endangered by the use of the enormous power of another State. I say, then, that the war was necessary, because it was unavoidable by any reasonable or fair means ; and if we had attempted to avoid it now we should assuredly have met it hereafter under far more dangerous circumstances. (Applause.) I beg to repeat that no one deplores more than I do the circumstance of being at war. It involves great sacri fices—great pecuniary sacrifices—but it involves sacri fices much more important than pecuniary ones ever can be. Last year new taxes were imposed far the pun • pose of m-etiug the expenses of the war.. These taxes now amount to nearly 10,000,0001. a year, and the practical result has been that, while for fifteen years previously we have been reducing the taxation and diminishing the burdens of the people of this country, the whole of the amount so reduced has been reimposed. You see, therefore, without going into details, what vast pecuniary sacrifices war brings upon the people of this country. But I state again that there are greater sacrifices than pecuniary ones. I refer to the lives of the brave fellows srcrifioed in doing their duty, and in de fending the honour aid interests of this country in fo reign lands. (Rear.) By means of our industry we nay get back the money which has been spent. The wonderful skill, genius, industry, and activity of the people of this country can accumulate wealth almost at a greater speed than it is possible to spend it • but the lives of those b rave men w h o have been sacrificed in their country's cause can never be recalled. But, at this time, their bravery has not been exerted in vain. Our soldiers have shown to you and to the world that they have not degenerated from the heroism of their forefathers --that we are equal, in true courage and in military valour, to our anceqors, great and brave as they were. But, yet more, they have shown us an example of pa tience under great sufferings, and endurance under the bitterest privations, in which they have exhibited a still greater heroism, and displayed all those characteristics which exalt mankind even more than due courage and bravery in the field. It is a complicated machine, an army ; and we have not had that machinery at work since the war of the French Revolution. We had to put it in action at once, and, until we tried, we did not know where the weak parts lay ' • we did not kn ow w h e th er it would break d own or whether it would work. That is the source of the disasters which happened to our brave army in the East. But lam glad to think that this state of things has passed away ; and, as our future experience shall be increased, so shall we meet with success after that army has already conquered evils which were almost overpowering. (Here Mr. Bouverie was inter rupted by the Ica I braying of a donkey, when he said, amid much laughter—" It seems I am to have a rival, after all.") Admitting these sufferings, whieh we so much regret and deplore, I will say that, in con tinuing the war, the only objet we ought to have in view is the attainment of a speedy and secure peace. I believe we can have no other justifiable object. There is one measure of importance which is now be fore Parliament. This is the proposal for the abolition of the newspaper stamp. At present, as you know, no body is allowed to print or publish a newspaper, or a. piece of paper containing the events of the day, unless it be printed with a stamp, which pays something to the Government. Now, to that law for many years great objections have been entertained. I have always held the opinion, and I have expressed it more r than once in Parliament, that that prohibition or that stamp was an objectionable thing. Mane think that the law as it stands is not an objectionable thing ; but I would justiike them to answer this questioe—Why should not a man hale as much liberty to print and circulate among his neighb ours the news of the place as he has to write a letter to hia friends containing that news, or to state it in conversa tion in company ? I can see no difference ; the a ame rule should hold good as well in the one case as in the other, and, upon abstract grounds, I have bees of opi nion that this prohibition of the circulation of news is objectionable. I have always supported the principl, as of free trade, and I consider that they should apply t the restriction caused by the stamp as well as to the laws which have restricted our commerce. You should not prohibit a man from doing that which is innocent iu itself, so long as it does not hurt his neighbours ; and hew can he hurt any one by printing and circulating the si ewe of the day among his neighbours ? I must say that of all the marvellous things which this age has produce d I wonder at nothing more than that wonderful thing e a newspaper. Take one of our great London ,morn dug papers—you find recorded there the events which b cave taken place in every cornerof theglobe ; you findnot wily - this, but you find the wants of every man detailed by means of advertisements. You find statements that heave been made and opinions offered by the best and wis est heads in the country. You find there the writing' . of the most profound thinkers of the day ; and all this published every 24 hours, and circulated over the length aid breadth of the country. I look upon all this as no mean advantage, and I think that the greater liberty and freedom that we can give to a system which yields such vast results even when restricted, the greater would lee. the boon to the com mun ity a t l arge . M any peop l e ' an of opinion that there is something rather startlieVEleall alarming in the prospect of a great number Vescru toP newspapers. They fear that the people ritin f g._ . read and like vicious and perhaps licentious writing. °lit° a as rticil o e ofish do not say that there will not be such and licentious newspapers ; but wha t say ia this—they will have a very bad chance agains_t_ a „F have such a good opinion of thezz!° l- !".;7 and pure feel ings of the public that I believe they will always prefer au honest and well-conducted t n ag e w a s i p n a s r cha r e to p th re e ad bair n d g a , n i d f the licentious. The argu e quallY an argument against all edu ravaend writing. Mr. Bouverie, in con clusion,worth anything, ca t i n, vsaid r — e reading i endeavoured to discharge my public duty to the best of my ability, and I will enders your so to discharge it still. The man placed in the councils of his country es one of its administrators has a heAvy duty to fulfil. Hitherto I have received from you i s , times past a fair and friendly construction of my mo tives and actions. I trust you will continue to treat me in the same spirit still. A person in the crowd asked Mr. Beuveris his reasons for voting against Mr. Roebuck's motion ? Mr. BOUVERIE said that Mr. Roebuck's motion for an inquiry on the state of the army in the Crimea might have been supported with one, two, or three objects in view. It might have been to ascertain the facts that had taken place in connection with the war ; but these facts were not disputed ; and, practically, the committee now sitting bad brought out nothing new. But it was not originally intended as a comm itt ee f or i nqu i ry. Th ey wished to pass a vote against the Ministry who bad the conduct of the war. He believed the Ministry was not treated quite fairly in the matter, and that blame was put upon him at whose door it did not lie. He did not like a vote to get rid of the Ministry by a side. wind. But he had a stronger objection. It was the privilege of the House of Commons to say to what Go vernment they would give their countenance; but prac tically it had nothing to do with the actual administration of the war, and he hoped be should not live to see the day when the House of Commons would attempt to usurp the functions of the executive Government.

The weather is not very propitious for the pleasure-hunt ing population of a pent-up city in its annual tour to that • great resort of Cockneydoin—Greenwich fair. The sky wears a threatening, lowering look, suggestive of April showers, but an occasional gleam of sunshine offers a ray of hope to those who, for weeks past, have looked forward with that joy which labour alone can give to a great holi day, and by land and water the impatient crowd ba-iege London-bridge. Hurrying on through the crowded streets, or losing itself in intricate passages, on flows the tide of human life ; or borne more rapidly along, close packed in the little steamers cleaving their way on the pellucid bosom of Qld Father Thames, all the men, women, and children in London seem bent on a grand pilgrimage from west to east. Some divide their favours between penny boats and second-class 'railway car lieges. Others, again, bravo the perils of the Pool, and make the entire voyage perfectly reckless of the tales of shipwreck of which they may have heard or read, and land near that magnificent home where those whose youth has been passed in maintaining the supremacy of England find in their age shelter and repose. The hardy skipper and the sturdy railway official have busy times of it. There is a good deal of pushing, and jostling, and scrambling for places, as there is also in the higher world. Occasionally, a husband has to deplore a temporary separation from his wife and the provision basket—without which, by the way, much to the chagrin of publicans and waiters, no true Englishwoman ever undertakes ajourney—or a mother may be heard deploring the waywardness of her progeny, but, as a general rule, all are totally happy, and are, like sensible people, prepared to make the best of it. We, too, have our annual custom—that of describing Greenwich Fair. How are we tb do it ? All fairs are very much alike. Green wich Fair is the same this year as it was last year, but alas !it is not the same as it was in the olden time. Its glory is gradually and perceptibly departing. We will not enter into a disquisition as to its cause ; we will only express a hope that it is traceable to a higher and more refined taste on the part of the people. Greenwich Fair has still its attractions for those who delight in shows, gingerbread, and confusion. The theatrical world on a small scale is duly represented there—the tragic muse being personified by the "decayed gentleman who lives most upon his own mirth ;" and, by a strange antithesis, laughter-loving comedy finds its exponent in some poor player, bustling about with the perplexed and anxious air of a man who has the oppressive' burden on his mind of pro moting other people's merriment; while music is repre sented by the historianof the doleful tale of " The pretty little ratcatcher's daughter." Then there is the pig to whose education so strict an attention has been paid, at i not only can he name any car d y ou ma y i n y o ur magin:_ . tion haveselected, but he has taken out the civil deg ree t " learned "in that colle ge w h er ein he had studied his youth. There are giants and dwarfs, and also mermaids , but these are rather at a discount in popular favour—a fact to showman,be attributed illustrating perhaps howt the such monstrosities recent revelations may yf beagreat got up" for the peculiar edification of the British public, With considerable advantage to tho fortunate possessor. The ele phant, with a stron predilectic!n for !wallowing whole b of cakes and oranges; the African lion, and the " Royal Bengal tiger," are stern realities of a totally di fferent class, and as such receive with manifestindifference th e h omage ' of the mob. Bidding adieu to caravans, booths, and merry go-rounds, avoiding the importunities of the privileged pro prietors of various games of unknown origin, all of which tend materially to reduce the amount of your superfluous cash—shunning the hospitable invitations of persevering touters to "excellent accommodation with tea and shrinipi at 91 per head, you wend your way to the glorious old park with its fine old trees, and to the heath with its bracing breezes.
