The Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited Liability under the Act of last Session, for the purpose of building a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hotel du Louvre, Rue Rivoli, Paris. . Parliament having .urchased a site for a new National Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc cupied by the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, is in every respect one of the finest and most appropriate that could be selected in London for such an Hotel. As investments for capital, such undertakings have proved I highly successful. The leading capitalists in Europe and America have united in promoting them. The Great Western Hotel in London, on the same principle, has proved to be a highly remunerative investment; the net profits in the last division were 31 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum. The Shares have about doubled in value, and, although it has not been in ope ration two years, it is too small to meet the daily applications for accommodation. The profits of the IMPERIAL HOTEL, from ills superior situation and many other advantages, will be at least equal to the most lucrative indertaking,s of a similar nature. A Bill giving powers to the Company, with reference to the site in Tnifalgar-square, has been read a second time in the House of Commons. An instalment of 2/. per share is required to obtain com plete registration with limited liabi'ity; but should that or the site not be obtained the deposit will be returned to the Shareholders, less a stun not exceeding 3s. per share on ac count of expenses. Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Brokers, Messrs. Holbert, Wagg, and Co., 1, Shorter's-court, Throginorton-street ; or Me •arc, Barnett, Ellis, and Co., 18, Finch-lane ; or to the Secretary, 4, White hall; but no application will be considered unless a Deposit of 11. for each Share is previously made with Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59, Strand; or Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and Co., Lombard-street, the Bankers of the Company. This Deposit will be carried to the credit of the instalment of 21. per Share payable after allotment, and will be repaid in the event of the application not being acceded to ; and no further call will be made until the agreements for the purchase of the site have been settled.

Amongst the various p.ints to be passed in re view before the delusive nature of the peace can he properly understood none exceeds in importance the Danubian Principalities ; for none hears more directly at once upon the East and upon the Wes Upon the West as the centre where the dominions of Austria, Russia, and Turkey converge, and tb rough which flows the greatest ofEuropean water clurses—great not merely from the importance of the territories the Danube fertilises in its course, but because, now that we depend on foreign coun tries for our supplies of grain, and have ceased to raise food sufficient to feed our own populatior, whoever holds the Danube holds also the harvests on its banks, the key of the granaries of Europe, and eventually the fate of the world. • Under these considerations there was but one course to be pursued in any conferences for peace with Russia, which could be a guarantee that neither food should be withheld nor pretext should arise for another interruption of tranquillity on the part of that power. This was, not an interference with the territorial division or form of government of Wallachia and Mob lava, still less any abrogation of the suzerainty of the Porte ; but a simple resti. tution of the delta of the Danube to the Sultan, a real ratification of the frontier line, and the placing of every opp..gtunity within the reach of Turkey of competing successfully with Ru-sian trade. With regard to the first, whatever may h© Lord Clarendon's temporary arrangements, we know by Vienna Conferences what has been arranged be tween England and Russia for the ultimate destiny of Moldavia and Wallachia—the union, namely, of the two provinces, the creation of an independent state, the selection of a prince from one of the reigning European families • in other words, a Danubian Greece and a Danish Otho to be as a new Russian dagger at the Sultan's throat. As to the islands at the mouth of the Danube, the treaty of Loudon of 1826 stipulated that Russia should not thenceforward acquire any Turkish ter. ritory, yet she obtained those islands by the treaty of Xdrianople in 1829, in direct violation of the former compact. Those islands are of paramount . importance to the free navigation of the Danube ; and as their restitution to the Porte would be an act of justice to Turkey, justice to ourselves, and also an invaluaible guarantee for future peace, it is hardly necessary for us to announce that no stipu latiuni to that effec• have been as much as hinted at by Lord Clare❑don. As to the frontier line, Turkey would acquire a real frontier were Bessarabia restored to her, or even were the frontier fortresses of Ismail and Ibrail once more placed in the possession of their former lords. As it is, tht3 sham boundary line, the sham range of mountains, the debateable ground, the new Caucasus " between Chotym and Lake S.-tpyk," is an arrangement admirably calculated for the for mation of a border population of Russian tools and co-religionists, ready at any moment to be slipped into the Turkish territories, whenever it shall suit Rus,ian purpose to get up an emeute, an insurrec tion, or any other pretext of quarrel and invasion of her neighbour. As to the development of Turkish trade in those articles of raw produce wherein she might success fully compete with and undersell the Russians, the matter is exceedingly simple ; but we do not deal with it now, as it is our purpose to return to it on another occasion, at some length. It would, how ever be preposterous to expect any arrangement of this nature from Ministers, who, while this uncon scious nation believed itself to be expending trea sure' and life in a real war with R uss i a , were actu ally paying Russia s expenses by E ng li sh gold supplied through the neutral trade, and who, as we ourselves have shown , even had the matchless audacity to advertise to purchase Russian tallow for the use of the British Admiralty —to trade with our enemy while engaged in war !—Morning He raid. 7.—Boy ers STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER , A pri l 1 continue to hold back at the extreme prices asked o n Tuesday, and rather less business has been done, but with the pi esent ktate of the cotton market and the good supply of orders in the hands of both epinners and m a . nufacturets there is little or no disposition to make any abatement. The prices of yarns are id. to per lb. higher than last week, and manuf.cturers are asking from 11d. to 3d. per piece higher for shirtings. There is a more general demand both for cloth and shirtings than of late, and the market maintains a healty tone. (From the Liverpool Albion.) LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING. If " April showers bring forth May flowers," as the proverb has it, London should be a perfect parterre next month ; the ghost of Hafiz find itself equally at home in Islington es in Ispahan ; and the pert twitter of cock ney sparrows melt into the soft jug-jug of Lalla Rook hish nightingales. The much rain, however, • gives small promise of any such paradisical products. Our domestic philanthropy doesn't progress with foreign peace ; for, as Zadkiel would say, " Taurus waxes restless under the baleful gaze of the malefic Ursa Major," to whose evil every other major is minor, save taking care of Major Dowbizein, which is the maximum of all misfortune. Brenoff, - or Orloff, or Kisliefl'e, or Meden, or whoever bathe Muscovite plenipo coming Aver here, will find things in as Tartaric a state of acidity as they were just before the good Aberdeen found out that his imperial friend of forty years was a gigantic Jack Sheppard. The precise period when the by-no-means dOuble-sighted elderly Highlander made that discovery, though now rather late in the (lay to be inquired - into, happens to be one of the chief gossip isms of the week,' lleoanse of Malmes bury's letter in the leading journal of yesterday, in re ference to the late Sir C. Hothem's neglected recom mendatien about mortar-beets, for whet the ex- Foreign Secretary calls the then (1.853)" inevitable:War:" The question-is; why dial netekberdeen know it to be in es itable ? What was, or is, the secret of his ignorance ? for that there is a secret is held by many who are not , particularly enamoured of the pastime called a wild goose chase, or the eiploration of mares' nests. It was stated at the time, in this column, very circumstantially, and is now repeated by Malinesbury, that Hotham repo-: dieted the Australian appointment, as being unfit for it, end asked for a naval command, for which he was fit, and for which the approach of war made him doubly anxious. Rut it was not stated then, though it may be stated uow, that he himself, jest before he left this country, told an intimate friend there -would be no war, because he had bAelviumaged hy..the First, Minister, that, ler certain rea sons, war was impossible. What were those reasons? That. lathe point; but it is a point we may never get bee oud. It is notorious -that Lord Raglan continued to be of the same opinion, or rather conviction, up to the-very day the expe dition sailed from Varna; and that his authority was Aber.: Teen. Bet who or what was Aberdeen's authority? That he was juzgle l and deluded by other influences than his own • monomaniacal devotion to peace is unquestionable ; and hence the explanation of his refusal to make preparations so essential in all others' eves. -Palmerston too, was hood- • winked, or rather pretended to be so; and hence the other wise wholly unaccountable neglect of the militia, to which the gentleman who spoke of "credulity anti connivance" has frequently made allusion, with a significance showing that there are other than Asian mysteries within his necro mantic cognieence. Sortie people have get hold of a tale, and a not improbable one it perhaps is. and that wonderful; Count Pahlen. whose apparition at Lord Granville's and elsewhere so astonished our natives this time three years,' was the secret agent of Nicholas for the purpose of confi- . dentially communicating to his old crony, to whom he had' years before imparted all about the sick man, that, what ever he might say or affect, he would do nothing. Relying; on that, it is now assumed, that the Earl acted as he did,; or rather didn't act at all till it was " too late" with- him, • as it was with his other august friend, him of the Tuileries,. whom tardiness converted from King of France into Mr. William Smith, of 12righton, i thin eight-and-forty hours.. The only notability of the Coalition who didn't fall into! this trap, though lie tumbled into another of his own making; much worse afterwards, was Lord John, who cried aloud for, battle even when his chief murmured peace. Whether he; knew then what he was crying aloud for is now questionable; but what he may or may not cry for henceforth is a matter of the smallest concern to any body. Last night seems really, to have put an end to Finality. The headlong obtrusion and Riecinirate withdrawal of his ill-omened, pragmatical, and . : omni-obnoxious education crotchet, exhibit a self-stultifying; abortiveness and decrepitude that seem to consummate the: annihilation of all that was left of his reputation, not only as' a statesman, but as a Parliamentary tactician. Amid the ill suppressed consternation and mortification of his friends, and; the jubilant tittering of his enemies, the fallen - leader of , Whigrery would insist on dividing upon a point, that served i merely to exhibit his feebleness ; and came out of the lobi-y; in a, minority of nearly one hundred. Palmers , on, who doesn't believe in original sin, but yetdeerns some sort of instruction ne- 1 cessary to keep Eneli'hmen from being heathens, voted, with a I sort of charitable condescension for his quondam superior, who had for his fellow-teller— oh! tell it not in the Reform! -SirJohn Pakineton. "To what base uses may we come at length, Horatio !" Terrible and complete, indeed, is the retribution Disraeli has extorted for the memorable malignity about " the right hon. gentleman ransacking his Thucydides fair parallels, and gloating in anticipation over the disasters of his country men" a' Sebastopol. Surely Nemesis is a pure sephardim, of true Caucasian breed, and is embodied in the person of the; member for Bucks, who has now triumphed over three Prime Ministers. and is evidently preparing for a victory over the fourth ; for it is clear the t ttering Bottle Holder cannot hold • the ring much longer. Equally clear is it that those judicious gentlemen, the Peelites, are discerning that truth with their usual penetrating prescience of what there is no longer any doubt about: Hence the all-demure and decorous Gladstone shrewishly snebbed both Russell and Palmerston last ight ; • and, with his henchmen, Cardwell and Herbert, helped the Knight of Netherby to elongate the tail of him whom they all accused of having hunted their chief to dea9l. Still, the Pony Peel should not be spoken of disparagingly just now, seeing that he has lately said a smart thin-;, all his own, and not in the least plagiarised from Sir Robert, who ind ed never did say anything of the strt. What 1 it ? Why this :—A short time ago the blunt and bluff Lord Hardwicke, whose portrait w , u1.1 do for the sign of the Deptford Jolly Sailor, and who often acts the part of that popular personage to the life, . oing into the Carlton, spied the metaphysical Cumber for the. Uni versity poring over that lively matin print of his party, . wherein it was diurnally demonstrated to a dozen readers, or thereabouts, that Engle'. d was going headlong to perdition ,and, positively for the last time of announcement, would be demo lished some particular clay of some varticular month, unless the right hon. gentleman and half-i-dozen others of his Wl mediate connexion contracted with Providence for the pre vention of the catastrophe. The Earl, in half jest and whole I : earnest having ejaculated a good deal of nautical lingo about sailing under false colours, piratical craft, Flying Dutchmen, ; and other marine gibberish, implying that W. E G.'s absence e would be considerably more evelceme than his company in so thoroughly Toryfied a latitude, wound uo by asking, point ; blank, "Now, Gladdy. my boy, when do you mean to leave off being rated in our books ?" The question, of course, ad mated of being divided into three heads, and each head an swered under th ee different aspects. Ecery question put to a Peelite does ; he wouldn't be a Pcelite if he didn't. How ever, for a wonder, he disposed of it under one head, and at once, saying, with the unel ieusness of a benevolent cobra : " Lord Hardwicke, I shall take my name off the books of the Carlton when my Lord Derby removes his from Brooks's " ly Tatthi An s d iko pon , tat., o ialte b i deei sea-serpentria tta r eo l ltly r hb. etenol . u e geot d it:tploooi a lno,g s staushr t ti, d o leey we u lpsua g ii.t h itee. hts aitup e gntoH h iony a efo udtti:sinap eParliament.ui 3mer caught 2a ihai.ons himselfh the coolness s of s e a u ir.oco o e of ?speeches Clontz, whoo- ins a a la lankrne witi h : eye a c l mo l oa netted conspirators who should deny to the sovereign the bill iiltl is rather odd certainly s b n u i t all t e i s ie t n b t i b t e o i f: d t u h c e em bi e l n l t ? peopleel whereofnnc e r s o s r . or e is co siderable.

You cannot tell why; nobodycen. He is, if po,si )le, who,day, sg more taciturn, more abstracted, more isolated, Clan ever. For merly he used to say nothing to anybody; now he looks at nobody. Once upon a time. it vvas his custom of au zifter. loon to fix his eyes intently on the tips of his boot toes, for three hours at a stretch ; now he gazes point bla,k at vacancy ; and to all appearance of that phantasmarorial visage of his, he has no more concern with,. or consciousness of, w h at is goingon a round him in Westnenster than what is going on in Jerusa lem—probably a good deal less. How, when, where, or with whom he contrives to arrange ihe order of business and the mode of doing it, is as inscrutable to the general public, and, apparently to every one of his party, as what lie intends to do with " Tanered," whom he left in a state of chlorofermed obfuscation at the end of the ninth volume of his Talmudical reverie, nine st.ars ago. He seemingly takes no pains 'what ever to conceal his contempt for the noodles and bigots whom he condescends to make use of ; and in the Abjuration Oath debate, the otaer night, treated the Manners, Lennoxes, Louvaines, and other young sprigs of the " old nobilitie"just as the Duke used to dealwith the Londonderrys, Winchilseas R o d e os, and tile rest , when the y sto od in his way—kick them out of it. Moreover, ho does not speak often, and when he does, he does not speak well, that is, well for him. •Yet, as just said, he never stood so high in the house ; and be is ad vancing at euch a rate, that it is almost qu es ti ona b le • if he w ill vouchsafe to " go" when he shall be " sent for," unless it be very speedily. And if it really should come to that—if Coningsby should pooh-pooh the Premiership, and leave poor Protestant ng laud without a Judaic director in the midst of its headless benightedness, what a finale for the Sidonian biography ! Well, who knows ? His history hitherto has been as much of a psychological romance as his own " Coutarini Fleming ;" and why not so to the close ? Besides, see the turn things are taking. Notwithstanding the abjuration debate afore said, here's no less it person than that prince of practical philosophers, shrewd, hard-headed, mathematical-minded old (for Colonel he will Col. Thompson be called, though they should make him Generalissimo), out in print to-day with proofs that there are lawful heirs to the legitimate right-divine kings of this country ; at least that there are people who be lieve in such heirs ; and he pertinently asks those who laugh at the notion of a British Pretender to remember how they laughed also at Boulogne, and all the rest of it; and how they think of Cayenne, as they ruminate on Ham, or a " Strasburg" pate, of a morning now. Supposing that the notion of another dynasty should get abroad, and that our candid friend, Austria, should cultivate it with her Concordat machinery, Russia having, as is well known, a poisoned pole mical chalice ready to present to us and France, iu reference to a Greek Church " cross" with Rome (whereof more here after); supposing this to take p'ace, as some of it will, let us remember that there is a privy councillor, who is a citizen of the world, as little troubled with scruples as was his poli tical idol, Bolingbroke, uneer simi'ar circumstances; and, like him, infinitely the ablest man in the State, with ten times his - opportunities. Captivating contemplation for maiden an nuitants thinking of their dividends iu 1860, But, ?nem—what a capital hint for the Liverpool Financial Reformers. Let Mr. Robertson Gladstone, instead of appealing to Prince Al bert and his wife to provide for their daughter, Miss Victoria Adelaide Maria Louisa Guelph, as any other Mr. end Mrs Brown, Jones, or Robinson would do, just hint at the idea of there being a Master Charles Stuart, or a-Miss Mary Ditto, in the wind. Why, that same 70,000/ a-year for the Prince of Prussia, which has so disgusted your worthy presidential financier, will be changed in a twinkling into shillings, • and thence into farthings, and after that into nothing at all, which it is to be hoped will satisfy your local analytical arithme ticians, if any can, though it is tolerably clear that nothing will ; and, indeed, if it did there would Ate no-use in them. Thompson tells us that there is something like a conspiracy to suppress the evidence of the existence of this pretender, or phantom of one ; and he points to the fact .that whereas an article appeared in the Quarterly some years ago, explaining all about it, there is no reference in the indint since published to that explanation—a clear proof to the Colonel that the chee to Croker's bugaboo has been burked by the publisher. Croker, by the way, may, perhaps, clotted( old accounts on that as well as other scores next week, in forthcoming Quar terly, wherein he is to scarify the satirist of Disraeliand him self [think of a "slashing article" by Rigby ag bast thelibeller of his own lampooner !] Mr. Humdrum Hayward, who has been making sucha noise in the papers oflate ) . abdut Monta- • lembert atld the futttre 6f England.

Such it is, though nobody here has openly ventured to say so, but plenty will say it now that it has been said in Liverpool. There's failure on the face of it, monetary and mariee failure of every sort ; but the great failure of all is the failure in having foreseen that it must be a failure. Much of the capital sunk in her construction' will be clogged with 30 per cent interest before she can be floated, if floated she ever be. • When floated she can never be docked, never be cleaned, in any part of the world except the Isle of Dogs, London ; but to the dogs of a far dieant part of the world she must go if anything happen her machi nery, as it tu cy readily be understood when it is known hat the 30-ton block of metal forming the centre of her shaft has taken perpetual relays of men sis menthe to hammer away at, night and, day, with the forge nearly at white heat all the while—a nice look-out in the case of a fracture or a flaw off Borneo, or some equally convenient corner of the globe. The whole thing has long hem the laughing-stock of many judges, and the crying stock of more, not since the builder's blow up, but for several months pia v'ously, ever since the design of the thing really became tangible ; and the uniform remarks of those who knew any hing of the behind-scene' business was, " What could.you expect from Brunel but a bore ?"--a pleasantry that invariably gives the hipps to Hawes, and other fortunate proprietors of that lively pro perty, the Thames Tunnel, which will probably be in a condi tion to make the tollman a Christmas-110x of ninepenee half penny on the 26th of December. A D. 1999. What has all this to do with Wood ? Why, not much to be sure, only, as he himself would say, it came in quite promis cuous, and it wouldn't do to eschew it, though seemingly cutting him. Sir Charles is as: all times the most grotesque looking personage in her Majesty's service, or her Majesty's Opposition, as the case may be ; and that is not saying a little, considering the collecti at of inlescriba de two-legged -euriosities who face each other across the pair of Parliamen tary t tbles in the two houses. Of much the same attenuated, wiry, dislocated anatomy ; as restless in his attitudes ; as spasmodic, electric, galvanic, and voltaic in his gestures as Brougham himself, his visage is equally mobile as that of old Harry ; but, unlike thebusy B.'s, it has .ins, and only one ex pression, namely; overpowo' ing aston , shmeut that he, Wood , should be Secret.,iy of the Treasury, Chancellor of the Exchequer, President of the India Boa,d, First Lord of the Admiralty, or what not, as the case may be. Now certainly, under the circumstances, that is a most natural expression ; and it doss great credit to Sir Charles' accurate appreciation of him-elf and the times he lives in. It is a sentiment which the public fully reciprocate, only they .can't bo always indulging in and dwelling upon it, as he, moth to the repute o his modes'y and industry, seems to be everlastingly doing. Well, if that be the expre-sion of Wood's face at ord!nary times, what must it be, what must it not be, on such au extraordiaary occasion as to-night ? Let any man w , o has ever seen Wood making a speech in his ordinary attire, frisking and skippin • about, bending forward within half a let of his feet, one moment, and throwing his head beck within half a yard of his heels, the next!—now haw-hawin; like a to-key-cock, and then neighing like a filly at his own jolies, only a filly doesn't joke, though what else should make a h• roe laugh it is hard to say :—let any one who only knows Wo d in this his usual aspect fancy the effect of a white cravat, of cast iron stiffness, and a corresponding shirt-toll it rght up to the sirs ; and then making, not one, but 16 speeches at the head of a public dinner table. Ah, that was a spectacle to be forgotten only with life by the lucky beholrlei. To-day, at the Sibthorp sale, a bea itiful woman sold 'or 161. Don't be shocked—to was only-a painted female, and not at all a Jezebel. though your respect for the tasty rhetoric of Canon M'Neile will put that modest metaphor in your head, as a matter of course. The painting was by HogArth ; but if, instead of a beautiful woman, it had been Wood, in the figure he cut to-night, such a production by such an artist would have brought 1,0001., and been cheap at the money. However, as some learned author has some where profoundly rem.irkel, appearances are often deceitful ; and, as another equally erudite philosopher has also sagaciously observed, we slyshield not a! waysjudge by appearances. Despite his funere ilitY, or eomica , funereality, if tliere be such a phrase, Sir Charles really made a very good sort of chair mta He gallopped through the toasts as he used to do through the es' irnates in his higgh dy-pipledy budgets, and before you w -11 knew what it was he was going to propose, 'he was c dling upon you to , Irink it with three the rs, and was hip-hip-hurrahing himself at such a rate that nearly took the breath out of Toastmaster Higgs with amazement. If he didn't get on in this fashion he would never have got throegh to-night's business At all ; for, with the excepti on of 'that antique bla ter arid Sal tmaa line devourer of combustibles Admiral Bowles, all the duty • fsPouting devolved upon him, there being no great guns present to go off, as there had been 'a late Cabinet meeting in the afternoon ; and, besides, Satur day is always a bad night, those in town contrive to get out of it, or at least to keep out of the Corn hill end of it. Like a genuine Whi; as he is, brother-in-law of two Greys, uncle of three Russells, and cousin to nineteen Elliots, lie took the highly constitutional and very H am pden-in-the-field-aucl- Sydney-on-the-scaffold privilege of doctoring the toast list, that is, strik•ng out certain toasts. Among them was, " The Foreign Sovereigns Contrib'ttiug to this Charity." Now, to have given this, would have necessitated a flourish in praise of him whom Sir Charles. at Halifax, with more truth than courtesy, had coiled Caligula, or some complimentary c assic something or other of the kind, at the time when, as Victor Hugo says, as he alone can say—" Sehinderaunes became Cesar :" the thrice-sworn defender of the Republic, filched the purple, with felon hand, incarnadined in the blood of Murdered citizens. Still, although his Imperial Majesty sent Pof., Si'. el contrived to have a sly hit or two at hint, de claring with highly ita'icised emphasis that we could carry on the war for ever, with annually increasing eclat ; that our fleet is, beyond all comparison, the greatest the world ever saw, as the world might soon see by going, to Spithead one of these fine days ; that our army are wallowing in luxuries, equally full of food and fight, knowing no fear but the fear that they should have no op ortunity of threshing somebody or other, and not very particular who it might be ; and that if it weren't for consideration -towards others—(hem !)—we should have gone ou till we had grilled the last tallow-candle eater, or frog•cater either, for the matter of -that, on the North Pole or equinoctial line, we shouldn't much mind which ; both, if our friendly enemy, or inimical friend, preferred it, herefore, shouted Wood, (and no non-sequitur was it either,) I give you " The woolen walls of Old England !" Rule Britannia, of course, was bellowed by th e band, (Coldstreams — magn ificent,) all the company joining chorus, Sir Charles pitching the key—very strong—and a -timulating rattle of subscriptions, to the tune of nearly 900/., rolling rejoicingly in, including ten guineas from M'Gregor Laid, the only do nation with a Liverpool name to the tail of it. There is only room to note one professional feature of the entertainment, namely, the number of sentimental ditties,all briny of course, warbled through the night ; " Lovely Nan," " Peg of Wap ping," "My Kate and bark," and a multitude of marine. melodies, too tedious to mention, your Correspondent leaving Mr. George—a gentleman with a sort of alto bassoon voice— shrieking " Sally in our alley" like a delirious mermaid with the tooth-aeo P.S. Now that you have read all this circumstantial de scription of the affair, perhaps it is as well to tell you the name of it, namely—the Seaman's Hospital Anniversary. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. THE TIPPERARY BANK. Yesterday a document fuil of palulul interest to a large circle of persons connected with the unfortunate Tippe. rary Bask, was lodged by the official assignee in the office of Master Murphy.

On the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and con. stitutional toasts were drunk and responded to, that of •‘ The Army and Navy" by Mr. Miles, M.P., and Cap taiu-Sc 'bell, M.P., respectively. The LORD MAYOR then sail he rose to propose the health of one of his honour, d guests that' evening; his Excellency the representative of the United States. (Cheers.) Mr. Dallas had kindly honoured him _with his company, and he rejoiced to see him at his table, be cause he was the representative of that great kindred cation on ihe other side of the Atlantic. (Cheers.) Ever -ince he (the Lord Mayor) had the honour of being con nected with the corporation of London he had always found the American Minister ene of the most honoured guests at the banquets at the Mansion-house. He re membered how often he had had the pleasure of meeting Ate Abbott Lawrence, a former American Minister, on such occasions. There the American Minister, who ever he might be, was always welcomed, and it had In variably afforded the greatest pleasure to the citizens of London who were invited to meet him there, inasmuch to it afforded them an opportunity of reciprocating those kindly feelings which it was the interest as well as the luty of E7•glishrnen to cultivate towards their fellow etizens and national kinsmen on the' opposite side of the Atlantic. (Cheers.) There was lid reason whatever why they should be jealous of the Americans ; but, on the contrary, there was every reason why they should he proud of them. He was sure he rightly interpreted the feelings of the people of this country when he said • hat all they desired a ith respect to the American peo .le was that the most intimate social relations should ever exist between the two countries, (Cheers.) They spoke the same language, and possessed a c immon lite rature, and he could hardly understand how any quest ; ion could arise the settlement of which could render it n cessary to have rec urse to the dreadful alternative of var. (Hear.) He presided there on behalf of his fellow etizene, who entertained no other feelings than those et the most cordial friendship towards the American pen tile, which feelings they desired to perpetuate, and had ,nvited Mr. Dallas to par: ake of his hospitality because his Excellency was the representative of a kindred na ion, ta whom the people of Great Britain were united by eonsiderations of a common origin and a common lan guage. He begged to propose "The health of Mr. Dal las, and Prosperity to the great Republic to which he had the honour to belong." (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, the band play ing "Hail Columbia" and " Yank, e Doodle." Mr. DALLAS, on rising to respond to the compliment, was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. He said—My • Lord Mayor, lathes, and gentlemen, the very kind and complimentary language with which your lordship has prefaced the last toast, and the cordial manner in which it has been received by thie distinguished assembly, are entitled. and I hope will receive, my return of gratitude . In truth, lam almost bankrupt in the language of teanks ; for ever since I lanoed in the dominion.; of your illustrious Queen, as the representative ot the American Government and people, I have met with nothing but a series of the most flattering demonstrations of welcome and hospita lity. (Cheers.) I perfectly well know that these inanifes tations are not addressed to an individual so utterly un worthy as myself, and that they are the profuse and gene rous tribute to a nation whose messenger I am. But on its behalf, with a sensibility that I know it would unani mously feel, I beg this distinguished company to accept the assurance of my profound acknowledgments. There are some sulejects on which it would he ill-timed, and more enterprising than wise, for me to touch on this occasion and in this presence. Indeed my arrival is so re cent that I scarcely can pretend to know the subjects which would be most acceptable to you. I dare say, however, I shall incur hut little hazard it I venture, ac cording to a provincialism natural to a western tongue, to "guess" that the spirit and purpose of a new coiner may have exited at least some little curiosty. (A laugh.) Well, my lord, let me say that I am not authorised to feel, and do not feel, any desire other than that of giving my exertions and energies unreservedly to the restora tion of he most harmonious sentiments and friendly re lati ns. (Cheers.) Animated by this spirit, and aim log at such purp• se, if I fail—and I may fail—it will be because of some inexorable, overruling State ?they, or some foregone conclusion not to be undone by uniform, steady, persevering. frank , and honourable conciliation. (Renewed doer .) My lord, permit rue, in conclusion — fir my object is to be exceedinily brief—to tender to your lordship and the guests a sem tiled here my congra tuktions on the gre..t event consummated since my arrival among you—the restoration of peace to Europe. (Cheers.) Wet., although undoubtedly accompanied by its moral ben,.fits or alleviations, is at best an evil ; and the vast powers of this empire, although for a time, and however gallantly, enlisted and ably dire eted, will find more genial and more fruitful employment in those channels. agriculture, commercial, and manufacturing, and those pursuits which have hitherto so signally illustrated the exertions of her people. (Loud cheers.) My lord, I again thank you. The LORD MAYOR then gave "The House of Lords," a e s eciatene with it the name of Lord Stanley. Lord STANLEY, M P., briefly acknowledged the com pliment. It was a bold thing, he said, to undertake in any company, still more in their p resence, to be the spokesman of Parliament. But there was one idea which predominated in all their minds, and on that sub ject he thought he might venture without presumption to say that be could express the unanimous feeling net only of the Legislature, but—what was quite as impor tent—of those for whom the laws were wade. (Hear.) He thanked the Lord Mayer ter having given him that opportueity—an opportunity of which' others hail availed themselves—of expressieg aloud th a t w hi c h was in the thoughts of their deep, earnest, and almost passienate desire that, be the chalices an , changes of political events what they might, &Tim d might retain inviolate that national alliance of which they had among them at that moment the living repre sentative—an affiance which , tied its root in considera tion of temporary or political expediency, but which rested on the surer basis of the common origin, the com mon language, the common laws, the common energies, and the common aspirations of the two mighty empires, and even in that which they must a'l acknowledge—a cnintnon family likeness in common faults and failings. (Cheers, and a laugh.) Upon the union of these two nations depended the hop-s of mankind and the peace ; and it rested of the world ; and if they went on as the had done for a long time past, within a century from Vie present til t) , e the earth would be inhabited by 300,000,000 of t ric e , Anglo-Saxon race—the most energetic, industrious, and enterprising people.that ever tided its toil.

(Hear.) The bon: mem ber concluded by proposing "The Health of the Lord. Mayor." The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the compli ment. Mr. DALLAS then, in graceful terms, save " The Health of the Lady Mayorese," which was drunk with acclamation. The LORD MAYOR, in responding to the toast, told Mr. Dallas that if his diPlomaCY was equal to his gal lantry be should have no fear of the success of his mis sion. (A. laugh.) Several other appropriate toasts were drunk in the course of the. evening, and the company separated about 11 o'clock. , • Mr. iiarlcer ofaciated aw taitraintet " Do you really believe that a few scandalous and san guinary incidents are only passing here You are in error if you do so. I know the country well, and I can clearly see the plagtie spots 'which are spreading gradu ally, but surely, over the whole body politic.' I find it difficult to explain to myself the sort of indifference which exists in France and England on what passes. France (it is a German who writes) may well rejoice at it, for Prussia cherishes undying rancour against her, v.:A the Rhenish provinces were only given her in order to p ,, rpetuate it. But England has two powerful reagent to interest herself in the future of Prussia. One is, as you are aware, recent. The.eltiest daughter of Queen Victoria is destined to be one*, QuetAcde Prussia, it spares her, life. ant uthiC 6 - E iAuf vrasste4tett ortuM rnil aintlettrat' the Continent which, as Protestant and possessing a constitutional Government, offers an alliance to England amid the hatreds which have been on all sides niched against her. The petty Protestant States offer her no re sources—not even Saxony ; for if the Saxons are Protest ants their Sovereign is Catholic. If it be true that such is Prussia—if it be true that she plays such a part in the equilibrium of Europe that, at the commencement of the conflict which the treaty of peace has just terminated, she could by a single word addressed to Russia, have saved treasures and armies buried in the Crimea—what now passes here is very grave indeed. You may rely upon it the King, is engaged in an implacable warfare with his own brother, and the efforts made to keep up appear- awes to the contrary, only convince those who are in the secret of the depth of their hatred. The noblesse in its feudal frenzy driams of nothing but the regime of the word and of the bludgeon ; the restoration of their seignorial rights, pit and gallows included, in the pro vinces, and in the capital outrage and insult. In the 'neantime the people coalesce with the middle classes, and, all of them having served in the Landwehr, they receive fr )m the members of colleges and of the liberal professions counsels the more formidable tbat they are justified, and provoked by necessity. To compete the general confusion, the great employes are constantly at loggerheads ; they insult each other without taking the trouble to conceal their quarrels. "All that occurs is attril'utabie to the Kirg, who alternately encourage to extreme lll3WillreS the liberals and the aristocracy. He abounds in theory, and ever pushes it to its extreme limit, and exhaust♦ either system by turns. You are surprised, I suppose, when you Iwo that a favourite counsellor perishes by his own hand ; when another, seeking in vain the protection of his honour in the authority of the Sovereign, finds no other resource than in the open violation of the primary rules which govern the magistracy, and, unable to live dishonoured, flings himself on death. Then you have 'he King following his fineral, and weeping for Min whose life and dignity in the State he hesitated to save. Does all this real►y astonish you ? But such things will henceforth become more formidable, and more frequent. Who does not know, for instance, that this worthy S-igneur, this p,!rfectly honest man, de Maltzan, Minister for Foreign Affairs, died mad ? He had a sue cessol whose ability, whose fine intellect, and whose at tentive msnners were known and appreciated by Europe. That Minister, who was a soldier as well as a writer, would not long survive, the petty but implacable warfare waged against him. The hietory of the career of M. de 8., one of the rivals the King cinstantly opposed to bun in all his opinions and in all his plans, is quite character istic of the Monarch. When his Majesty was Prince Royal, while he was still enthusiastic for abstruse science and hollow philosophy, he paid a visit to Rome, whence be brought back the Catholic branch which he subsequently tried to engraft on the stern of Prwestantism ; the branch soon decayed because it was too old, and the tree too young. On his arrival at Rome the King sought a cicerone to guide him, and he was given the renowned historian of Rome, Niebuhr. They went together to Mount Aventine, and then the pedant Prince asked his guide for explanations of all he saw around him. Niebuhr, as unyielding as the Fates them selves, cut short the thread of the Prince's discourse ' and provei to his Royal Highness that he was utterly in error. The Prince returned in a rage to the Prussian Embassy and demanded tor the - following day M. de 8., another, but less eminent, antiquarian, attached to the Prussian ini ,, sion, in order to continue hi.; researches. Tuis savant, who was a better courtier than the other, made a complete conquest of the Prince, who, ac soon as he mounted the throne, drew him tram his Carter laires and his Pa/impsestes, and transtortned him into a statesman. He rose to the summit ; but soon shared the fate of all who have had the misfortune to be the King's favourite—he fell. Believe me, we are all telling !" I venture to make a remark or two on the preceding letter, which very probably presents a faithful description of the internal state of Prussia. I am aware that an attempt will be made, and, perhaps, is now making, in Prussia and elsewhere, to induce forgetfulness and pardon for the short comings of that Government, to damage the French alliance with this country, and to substitute for it that of Prussia. Yet it is doubtful whether a similar theology and similar political institutions will be accepted in satisfaction for bad faith. It is very well to speak of Prussia's influence at St. Petersburg, and to say that a single word from Berlin could have prevented the war. If so, why was not that word spoken ? Why, when war was rtging, did not the mighty magician wave his wand and stay the tempest ? Was the philosophic King of Prussia so absorbed in theory as to have no thought of humanity ? The modern history of Prussia offers little to recommend her as an ally to auy nation. She has been perfidious to friend and foe alike, and has not hesitated to accept from the hand of the -COIIIIOII enemy the spoils of her own allies. While accepting the subsidies of England she proposed, after the victory of Austerlitz, a treaty, of which the basis was the annexing Hanover to the Prussian dominions. Her perfidy to her friend, her servility to her enemy, and her rapacity towards all, did not even secure her the confidence of him to gain whose favour she was ready to descend to the lowest point of degra dation. "From the moment," says Biguon, "that the Treaty of the 15th of February (1806) was signed, Napoleon did more than hate Prussia—he conceived for her the most profound contempt.

It the tact were, as one of the parties assumes, that the moon always kept the same face towards the earth, like an a pple turned round our heads at the endof a pole, the question might, in acme points of view, be what Ben tham would call a logo h • mac y , but the fact is, that the moon does not so turn. It does not always show the same face to the earth, but sometimes shows a little more on one side, and sometimes on the other. And this exactly corresponds, as it ought, with the fact of the velocity of the moon in its passage round the earth, pthreocTeriryes, on the being sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less. The evidence of the facts then is, that the moon turns round on its axis with a velocity perfectly uniform, and such as, on the whole, turns round once exactly in the time that is taken to make the passage round the earth. This showing a little more on one side than on the other, is called the moon's libration in longitude, and is to be seen depicted in maps of the moon, in the shape of two little subsidiary territories, in addition to what is visible at other times. It is worthy of remark, that all the motions of planetary bodies round their axes, so far as k n own, are perfectly uniform.
