On Saturday afternoon, at the well-known gallery of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours-53, Pall-mall—we had the satisfaction (according to custom) of attending the "private view" of their Annual Exhibition. It is the twenty-second collection displayed year after year since the date when the society was first incorpo rated. The specimens hung round the four walls of the apartment, and upon the two screens flank ing the table of the Secretary and Treasurer, num ber just 349 altogether, landscapes, sea views, genre pictures, historical paintings, scriptural com positions, flowers, fruit, in fact (as ever) works of a character the most miscellaneous. The President --Henry Warren—is still, after all, about the most conspicuous among the contributors. Apart from his official pre-eminence—by reason of his very re markable powers as a water colourist, aided as those powers are, in their claims upon popular attention, by the admirable selection of the subjects usually adopted by this master for illustration. Ex. gr. 77, and 191—the latter a representation of Hagar and Ishmail going forth into the wilderness —the former an ambitious delineation of " Rebe kah first beholding Isaac." This last mentioned being in effect a work of art of reallyremarkable ex cellence, and one which the discerning majority will not fail to recognise on the ins'ant as something extraordinary. The grouping of the figures in the foreground—conspicuously elevated as the heroine of the painting is upon the apex of the hous ings of the camel —is contrived at one and the same time with consummate adroitness and infinite originality. The distant form of the advancing Isaac indicates with wonderful effect he perspective of the sterile waste—while the green and orange haze of sky and sand suffuses the whole scene with a marvellous intimation of the sultriness of the Oriental atmosphere. Au intimation not slightly aided in its general forcefulness by the very aot of Rebekah daintily veiling herself from the view of the approaching son of Abraham. Another very noticeable contributor to the gallery of the New Society of Water Calourists, Louis Haghe, avours us with productions the like of which we have seen, over and over again, we don't know how many seasons in succession. In merit as always remarkable but in subject and general treatment, for the most yirt, exceedingly monoto nous. No. 50, an " Antichambei of the Tribu nal of the Inquisition," reveals to us the same pen live lady hanging in the same attitude of anguish about the neck of the same ill-fated nobleman— the same supplicative little boy in the same minia ture trunk and hose and the same satin-slashed velvet doublet, on his knees, pleading in the same utterly futile manner to the same inexorable old curmudgeon, who stands forth as a type of the ghastly, ghostly, grimly, ghoul like Inquisition. Again, No. 64, the " Town Hall of Oudenarde— Meeting of the Corporations"—Don't we know it all by heart at a glance ? The stupendous chim • ney-piece with its gothic carvings and those burly, old, red-faced, purple-nosed, slouch-hatted, short-cloaked, gesticulating, theatric, burgomas'ers, who appear to be always conspiring in full fig against a De Witt, or getting ready with corporate Pomp to " put down" like Dutch Lauries, some in surrectionary movement some where or other out side that big Town Hall, with its ornate monster of a chimney-piece. Edward Corbould—one of the most charming, as he is one of the most popular of our water colourists—appears this list year to have been in a merry mood enough, all things considered. No. 211, his most elaborate and pre tentious composition, entitled for the nonce " Ye Lymnere hys Dreame," being proof positive of the fact, as the artist's own explanation of it in the catalogue will sufficiently well indicate—that ex planation being as follows :—" Falling into a fitful and uneasy sleep, after a long-protracted reading of varied and antagonistic character, he dreams of patrons of art departed to the Crimea, of himself — as not having a leg left—of falling into the waters of oblivion,' and vainly struggling to call for the drags of the Humane Society, whose men are gone to Greenwich Fair." There, on one side, is "ye Lymnere" himself—Ed ward H. Corbould—as sound as a church door, with his nose in the air, his meer schaum smoked out lying beside him on the littered table at his elbow, and the air full of all imaginable and unimaginable shapes, kings and goblins, mailed knights and pretty girls in Jenny Lind wide-awakes, gorgons, chimaeras, the heroic, the homely, the beautiful, and the grotesque. tis a very " painted nightmare" —a dream that might have been dreamt partly by Ariel and partly by Caliban. Talkin g of which Shaksperian personages—yonder, in No. 96, will be found Corbould's capital delineations of Goodman "Bottom, the Weaver," carolling about— " The ousel cock, so black of hue, With orange tawny bill, The throttle with his note so true, The wren of little quill : " The singer's ass-bead plaintively lipping the words with a relish, and his sturdy legs staggering in the ecstasy of his song—Titania (or as the cata logue has it, " Titiana,") coming forth be witched from among the flowers. The same artist has a protby grace! ul "0 imeltia," In Nu. 27, and a humorous illustration of the old song about the milkmaid, ending " Nobodie axed you, Sir" —for the Knieat's visage, in which J. B. Buckstone might have sat—in a daze ! Plea santest, however, and at the same time most ' prolific among the contributors to the Gallery, this season is an old favourite—John Absolon. There is the " Kiss" (No. 16) to greet the young lady visitors delightfully, almost the instant they have crossed the threshold. .There are the four sweet little pictures grouped together in one frame (the property of Herbert Ingram, Esq., M.P.), N° B - 70, 71, 72, 73, rather unaccountably entitled "Norfolk, Derby, Sussex, Rutland"—as if that pretty gleaner with her sheaf of corn, that piquante beauty in her striped silk, that dainty damsel with ' the antique coiffure, and so forth, got christened somehow strangely each like a pet racer ! However, names and all, delightful symbols may be for the .four counties, there they are—" the cynosures of ' neighbouring eyes." And so too with the "Baptism' (No. 105) from the same hand, and again with "Dora" (No. 202), the gentle, genial, pensive - "Dora "of Tennyson. There are one or two exe crable things in the gallery—say, for example, that -Wretched daub "On Leave" (No. 259), by G. B. Campion —or that ridiculous " Eventide ' (No. 311), with it s l eo p ar d s kin sky—or that absurd "Judy Callaghan' (No. 165), by W. H. Kearney or, worst of all, that horrible representation by the same artist of "The Fulfilment" (No. 121), with its sacred faces tear-bedabbled, blowsed, and drivel- Quite refreshing it is to turn from things like these to scraps of natural beauty, like (No. 295) " Lilac and Hedge Sparrow's Nest," by Mrs. Margetts—moss one can almost handle, lilac one can almost scent the fragrance of ! Charming, too, for a similar reason, the "Dead Birds" (No. 325) and the ripe " Fruit " (in 332) by the camel hair brush of that whilorne mythic being—Mrs. Harris ! Exqui site, too, in their way are Robert Carrick's two lit tle pictures, one (313) "Boys Fishing," the other (331) " Boy at Prayer," with all the truth of Hunt —truth howbeit seen through a medium of grace rather than through one of grotesqueness. The landscapes and sea views—generally the glory of ' the Gallery—appear to us this season somewhat deficient both in variety and excellence. Among the happiest efforts in this branch of the art, to our thinking, are two, by S. Cook—(No. 44), a " blaming Breeze," and (No. 83), " Sunset after a Gale"—the latter, especially, beautiful in its healthful freshness. Aaron Penley has a noble view of the " Back of Skiddaw, with Bassenthwaite Lake in the distance," and Edmund G. Warren, a wonderful picture (No. 262) of " The Wye at New Weir"—wonderful in many ways, from the very apple-gathering in the foreground, to the dim beauty of the far-stretching perspective. Turning from which with gladdened senses, we pass out again into the streets from the crowded Gallery. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, 3115 s to 5114 s ; clover do., 4/ 5s to '1 15s; and straw, 11 6s to 11 lls per load. Trade steady.

B "AR---The market h a s sli g htly r ec ove r ed fr o m its late depressed state, full rates having been obtained for both eolonial and foreign, principally for exportation. The re fined m ar k et has been more active at improved prices. C. PITE.—The rates continue firm, although the busi ness (lone has been small— holders demanding fully pre• violin rates. RICE —There is little business doing in this article, and Prices are without change. RUM has been in good demand, and previous quotations have been well maintained. TALLOW —The market still wears a quiet aspect, and quotations have slightly given way. P.Y.C., spot, 475, and last three months 46s 9d per cwt. A. contemporary says :—Mr. Just , ce Williams did not open the Cardiganshire assizes on the 6th till 12 o'clock at night, having been detained on the road by the break- Lug down of hie carriage, and the supposed intoxication of the postilion. He had to proceed 15 miles on foot into Cardigan. A detailed account of the ironworks in Austria has Just aupeared, arid we learn that 1,000,000 e t. of rail• can be manufactuired annual'y, and 100,000 cwt. ot 4letreel, tires for wheels, &c. ET. MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoch. The Liverpool Cotton Market closed yesterday with an animated appearance, and prices of Ame rican qualities were irregular, but generally id. per lb. dearer. The sales were 20,000 bales (in cluding 2,000 for export, and 8,500 on speculation), comprising 300 Pernam and Maranham, 6d. to rid.; 560 Bahia, 60.; 2,500, 7d. to 10d.; 2,5G0 Surat, 4d. to 4.1 d.; and 2,000 Sea Islands, 10d. to Is. 51. per lb. The Railway Share Market was rather heavy. The weekly trade reports of the principal French markets state that buyers are now more numerous, both in the chief manufacturing towns, and the departments, consequently business is more active than it was at the beginning of the month. Those who had held back during the conferences have now come forward since the official promulgation of peace. In the departments where many of the retail dealers had limited their purchases stocks are quite exhausted, and they have become pressing upon the manufactures to meet the increas ing consumption. Speculatop, at the same time, are ordering goods of all kinds extensively ; and the prices are rising rapidly: Advices from the manufacturing towns of silk and cotton fabrics are satisfactory. Those of Alsace and Rouen are ex ceptional on account of the rise in cotton and wool and other raw materials ; at the same time the large arrivals of cotton from the United States are expected to relieve the market. The demand for cotton yarns is consi derable, and there is an advance in prices at Colim, Maberly, and Breale. The trade of Paris has not much improved since the announcement of peace, and the shopkeepers complain of dull trade com pared with the same month last year; but this is accounted for by the active season which prevailed before the opening of the Exhibition. The Pari sian manufacturers are busy with foreign orders; but articles of bronze and bijouterie are not much in request. The Money Market continues in a comparatively easy state, and the preparations in progress for the liquidation of the final instalments of 15 per cent. on the present loan and 10 per cent. on the Fund ing of Exchequer Bills, due next Thursday, have not materially increased the demand for discount accommodation. First class commercial bills are negotiated at 51 per cent. ; but during the next two or three days a slight advance upon this rat© is not improbable. In consequence of so many of the operators at the Stock-Exchange having made arrangements to be present at the grand review off Spithead, the market for Public Securities is rendered even quieter than for some days past. The quota tions, on this account, have exhibited renewed symptoms of weakness, a decline of I per cent. having occurred since this time yesterday. Consols have been 92i to 93 for money, and 93k / for ac count. In the Net Threes a moderate business has been done at 92 to 92/, and the Reduced Annuities are 911 to 92. Bauk Stock has risen to 2111 and 213. Exchequer Bills, March, are at par, and the June ditto at 3s. discount to par. The Bonds are marked 98i Foreign Securities are generally rather lower. Turkish 6 per Cents., after being 98k g-, have de clined to 98. Spanish Deferred Bonds are 24k -1. Peruvian 4i per Cents. 774, and the 3 per Cents. 54. Mexican Stock is heavy at 22i Chilian 3 per Cents. are 69, and Brazilian New 4/ per Cents. 94/. Sardinian Bonds are per cent. lower, viz., at 951, and Russian 4-1 per Cents. rule flat at 94 to 951. Dutch 21. per Cents. are firm at 64 to 641, and the 4 per Cants. at 93g. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7i i; Mexican, 22i 3 ; Peruvian, 77 79 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 531 41 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 48 50 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 6 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 94 6 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 45 4 ; ditto Deferred, 24j- ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, 7 4. Railway Shares are dull, and prices generally tend downwards. Great Northern have receded fully 108. ; Lancaghire and Yorkshire, 1/. ; North Western, 1/. ; Midland, 1/ ; and the others in proportion. As regards the Foreign undertakings there is a general decline, and the Colonial parti cipate in the flatness which pervades all other de scriptions of securities. Mining Shares are very inactive, Batiks are at nominal rates, and the Miscellaneous are neglected. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES. i /writ. the 4 Iffiesal n done. Rank Stock . . 3 per ()ut.

In future this vessel will leave Malta for the lonian Islands on the 15th of every month, conveying mails and passengers ; and will leave Corfu on her return voyage on the sth of every month, so as to catch the Peninsular Company's steamer conveying the India mail to England. This is a great boon to the inhabitants of Matt and the lonian Islands, affording a monthly communication between the two places ar.d Greece. A MARRYING MAN.—A few days ago Judge Perrin, of this city, married a. man for the fifth time. A. sin gular feature in the case is that the fifth wife was also the third wife. The third marriage not proving a happy one, the parties separated and were divorced. The man married again, and when death claimed his fourth wife the disconsolate widower returned to number 3, and wooed and won her. Judge Perrin thinks he has tied them up effectually this time. The lucky man had the impudence tc, claim a reduction of the marriage fee in , onsecpn-nce G 1 the large business he was doing in that line. We think he , ught to have been charged double price,—Covington Journal. FOREIGN. 10 •Il -ttwor . rd m 8 • 81 81 / 40 40 Do. 5 p.c.

Sufficient had not been stated on the face of the declaration to show that the plaintiff had establi-hed himself as a banker to have a right to complain of any injury. All that appeared was that the plaintiff was the promoter of a bank to be called. the Bank of London, in doing which he incurred certain expenses in circulating pro-peewees, &c., and that some body, else bad beaten him in the race of competition, and had succeeded in establishinp a bank under the name of the Batik of London. It did not appear that the plaintiff had ever carried on business as a banker—that he bad a single customer—or that any tingle person had gone to him for banking purposes. His lordship said he did not consider there was sufficient on „the face of the declara tion to show the plaintiff, had suffered any injury, and be was opinion that an action would pot lie. Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Ju4tice Crowder, and Mr. Justice Willes concurred in the judgment of the Lord Chief Justice. The demurrer was affirmed. es.l irk. New. Berw. Y.&NM 1)o no Hull & Do.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIB,—On the 12th inst., the Examiner, in a leading article on the deb tte on the National Gallery, spoke as fellows :—" We really should like Mr. Otway to favour us with a. reference to the page of the Examiner (also quoted) on which that journal has been found j oiling in an unprovoked and ungenerous cry against an able artist and a competent cr;tic of art." The extracts from the leading- journa's of England, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly, which Mr. 04way quoted to thi House of Gnomons in support of his con demnation of Sir C. Eastlake, as utterly inc anpetent for the directorship of the National Gallery, were pub lished upon my responsibility and were authenticated by my name. I pledge myself to their accuracy. The selection, Weed, errs on the side of leniency. The Examiner, however, is pleased to impugn the accuracy of the extract from, himself. He even insinuates that there is no foundation for it, and thereby casts an impu tation upon the rest. This waster touches both the pub- Ito and myself. I will return good for evi', by making the Examiner defend, even against the rxaminer himself, his claim to having been among the first a. ,, d the severest to de nounce the incompetency of the Examiner's now "corn petent critic." With a just discrimination, the Examiner once "adopted" from the Spectator, and pronounced " substantially corn act," and " not over-stated," a charge against S:r C. Eastlake, which, if proved, as it has since amply been, should have excluded hint for ever, not only from all authority at the N.tional Gallery, but from any office connected with art. The Spectator of this day, April 19, 1856, in a baling article, pronoutce Sir C. Eastlake "not a proper pers3n t) be the director of the National Gallery." Let us hope that the Exa miner, as it wisely adepted the Spectator's authority, so it will now emulate the Spectator's coosi , tericy. All itiu4 esoierate the Exam, " cry" against Sir C. Eastlake from being " un pro vok ed" er "ungenerous ;" but "the page" to which the Examiner " sh , ml.l really like to be favoured with a ref' rt nco," is pa4e 771, Exa miner of December t l l sth. 1346, here. in the 2 I sad 3d columns 1 the .L'xaminer will find what follows :•—• THREATENED DESTRUCTION OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY. There is too much reason to fear th.tt the national collec- tion of pictures is not in -afe keeping. We have not come to tha oonclusiou hastily, and we speak advisedly. Nor do we use the words in any figurative or hyperbolical sense, but wish them to be understood in as literal and strong a sense as possible. As the national property at stake is of a kind that cannot be replaced, we wish to draw the attention of all who have influence to afford a rescue. A destruction of pictures is carried on under the name of cleaning. We will confine .our statement to two flagrant cases. Ono of the most impor tant pictures in tho collection has been irreparably dam wed ; another great work has been so injured that all its beauties are destroyed. Titian's "Bacchus and Ariadno," although for merly injured in parts by tampering and "darkened by time, still vas a fine specimen of the painter'S smaller pictures— small in size, great in design and execution. With the " dirt" he cleaners have now removed much or all of the transparent colouring ; and the most obvious results of the damage are these. In nature, the several colours of all objects take a special tone from the quality of the light that shines upon them at any given moment of time; all tints under the same light, therefore, display a certain unity with each other : in this picture one tint of golden light glowed over all the vary ing local colours ; that quality of light was partly worked out in the solid painting, partly conveyed in the transparent colouring which formed the last stage of painting : that trans parent colouring is removed, cud the unity is gone. Thus a summer sun warms the colours of the figures, but the sky is tbat.of January. Ihe perspective even is altered, in the fol lowing manner : —ln the group of figures is a satyr, whose brown flesh is'opposed to the fair skin of two women behind him—that is, they are further from the foreground; without destroying the brightness of the fairer flesh, the transparent colouring subdued it, making it less pr.minent ; at the same time, as varnish does to a mahogany table, it brought out the colour of the dark satyr's flesh, making it brighter and more prominent. The transparent. colours are gone ; the fair flesh now comes more forward than Titian meant it to do ; and the satyr, who is before the woman in position,actually seems further off, through the change in the colour. These results of the damaging process will easily be perceived on examining the picture. The destruction of Rabaul's " Peace Driving away the Horrors of War" is glaring. Over the whole of this picture also there was ono flood of glowing light, giving unity and that richness of tint for which Rubeus is famous. With the " dirt" the whole of the transparent colouring ou the sur face has been removed ; the unity is broken into parts, and the warmth has turned to bleakness. The tie b er'S hide, that was a lustrous tawny, has now turned to a dead brown and grey the differerce between what was and what is, is that between silk and cotton. The flesh of the principal female figure wa 4 brilliant and transparent: it is now harsh and opaque dead white as if painte l with chalk and pink tolth-powder. The damaging process is exhibited with pain ful distinctness in the shoulder of the msau crouching In front. It is a compost of rude, harsh, .unblended, stains,-whitieh reddish, ( - 1 31 d ,u Mercury in nth ej brown-blackish dgn eu o l f f . p Y a O r u il t c”rtu,otititios right oouu can detect, underneath the outer painting , ' a very similar assem blage , of. tints ,• , hut they, are •. covered with . tiatnsparent colouri,and combined into the most brilliant and harmonious hue these colours••are • removed from the shoulder of the mart in the " Peace and War," and yon see the consequence. In fact the last stage of Rubens's work has been undone- . ---the picture has, been disfinished; , Rig not °veil as Riabens - would haVe left it an unfinished sketch ; for it has on it the debris of his' litter painting, and its surface has been injured. It is pot an uniniehed,work; but a ,wreck. In the case of this 'piCture, the spectator has the advantage of comparing it with other works by the samo painter, on. on each wall of the same room.. And, -by the, way, if it was necessary. to "try"' this process of cleaning, why not have tried it on the picture, less precious in execution, of " Moses and the Serpents I" Four thousand pounds was given for ".The v.TGI Is tdlelhregaiims.

SADLEA'S- WBLLS THEAT RE: , 3;j: fi Last night Mr. and Mrs. Charles. Dillon made their first appearance in London at this theatre. The drama' chosen for the occasion, " , Beipherr the Mountebank, or the Pride of Birth," affords ample scope for the de veliipment Of the powers of an actor anxious to elicit the opinion of a London audience as 0' his abilities ;. and the fame that Mr. C. Dillon has acquired in the previncesi prepared us', in , a great measure; to . expect something ,worthy of beirg called acting, in . which expectation we were not disa;poirted. The cha racter of Belpbegor; as most of our ' readers are aware, requires more than ,ordinary -talent, - ) order to fully develop e the part drawn by_ the great French 'dramatist, and fevi English actors Who have essayed the part,have produced inore,thaea toleir able perferniance. The Belphegoy of Mr. C. Dillon is really a masterly piece of-acting, and' thetreinendmis applause bestowed (alit last , night• was well' and richly deserved. Nothing could po,sibly be finer than . the acting of this gentleman,, in' the second act, where the poor mountebank, heartbroken by'the desertidn' of htst; wife, is invited to amuse, the lordling at the al fresco- fete, given by the son of theDuc de Montbrisoo, at bis chateau nrar-Bordeaux. It , was, in - 00 - e word, the effort of a consummate artiste. .In the earlierportions..of tbe. drama Mr. Dilfon was evidently suffering from nervons7 nese, but as the applause inereased,•so he seemed' to"re , cover himself, and the result was k . deoided: and trium phant success-atieh suacess; indeed, as he may well be proud. of. Me WWI not attempt niinntety to desoribe the whole p e rformance, su ffi ce it Gnsay, War s taken a& a whole, it wai perfect. The part of Madeline VVE,o3_Yery beautifully played by Mts. Dillon ';'Mr. 'lloges acquitted himself very meditably as,Fanfaronade, and little Miss EfOuin sustained the part of the juggler's son, H eni i , with very: great-'abiity.: The test 'of the actors were scarcely .up to the en-ir. At' the conclusion of the play. Mr. and Mr. C, Dillon were loudly called for, and on theliappear•anee they were most enthusiastically re ceived by _a very crowded Leilise. Letters from Riga the 1411 inst. mention that the ice in the river had broke n op two days previously, and that the arrival of vessels at the port and the grneral mom:1104m of navigation might be expected in a fort night, if not sooner. tre . 4,Etittiort SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

Lord Panmure has this day received two despatches and their enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Sir William Codrington, K.C.B. Sebastopol, April 7, 1856. My Lord,—The Stromboli returnea this morning with Dr _Melllree from Redout Kale. The letter from Prince Beboutoff, at Tiflis, of which a copy is herewith transmitted, shows that General Williams had recovered his health, and had been forwarded to Ria zan, near Moscow ; and that, consequently, it was not ne cessary for Dr. Mclllree to go to Tiflis, nor do the Russians seem to have wished that he should pass their lines. Your Lordship will see that the armistice had been established in Asia. Dr. Mclllree accordingly returned, bringing me letters from Abdil Pasha, who was in temporary command of the Turkish troops during the absence of Omar Pasha. The service for which Dr. ,41cIllree was selected would probably have exposed him to a difficult if not a danger ous journey at this time of year, across mountain passes, and amongst such a population; his mission would have required circumspection and activity, and I beg to bring his name to yuur lordship's notice from his service at Scutari, and his selection by Sir J. Hall for the duty on which he had been ordered. I have, &c., W. J. CODRINGTON, General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &e.

My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit the weekly report from Sir John Hall, Inspector-General of Hospitals, by which your lordship will percieve that the general health of this army continues good. With reference to the latter part of my despatch of yes terday's date, I beg leave also to enclose a letter from Sir John Hall, in which he makes favourable mention of Dr. services.—l have, &c., W. J. CODRINGTON, General Commanding. The Lord Panmuro, &c. Enclosure I. Head-qurrters, Camp, Crimea, April 7, 1556. Sir,—The sanitary condition of the army in the Crimea, as exhibited by the accompanying weekly state, is very satisfactory, and no disease of any marked or peculiar character exi is in any of the divisions. Chest affections continue to be of frequent occurrence, and this we must look for until mild weather sets in, and then fevers will in all probability replace their. ; as yet winter cannot be said to have ended, for o❑ the 3d instant we had one of the most furious snow storms that we have experienced during the whole winter. It commenced about eight in the morning and continued until after mid day. The Third Division, which was on route parade marching exercise, was overtaken by it, and experienced its full violence. Several men suffered from its eff.cts, and one man a young lad of the 41th Regiment, died of cold and exhaustion. The ratio of sick has not increased this week, but its dis tribution is altered in consequence of the batteries of Artil lery, and battalions of Land Transport attached to divi sions, being returned with their respective divisions, in stead of being returned as separate and distinct corps, as they have hitherto been. The general health of the Laud Transport Corps con tinues gradually to improve, and in addition to the de crease o numbers in the Head Quarter Hospital Returns, from transfers to divisions, the mortality is less and the form of fever now prevailing amongst the men much milder than it has been. More attention is paid to the personal cleanliness of the men, and to the whole interior economy of the corps than used to be done, which the in creased number of officers recently added to the corps in all its grades admits now of being effectually carried out. The hospital establishment has benefitted in common with the rest of the corps, more huts have been built, the druken negligent Regimental Hospital Orderlies have been repl teed by men from the Medical Staff Corps, and within the last week six nurses, under the superintendence of Mrs. Stuart, have been added to the orderlies. Of the 17 deaths which occurred during the week, eight were from fever, two from ap plexy, the result of intem perance, three from diseases of the lungs, one from the effects A frost bite, two from injuries, one in a man of the 11th Hussars, who was thrown from his horse, and ano ther, a man of the Land Transport Corps, over whose head a cart wheel passed. The 17th man belonged to the Army Works Corps, and is returned as hiving did of gangrene. The ratio of admissions to strength this week has been 2.32 per cent. Deaths to strength 0.02 per cent., sick to will 3.98 per cent., all of which I consider remarkably low ; much lower than we can reasonably expect them to continue as the spring advances.—l have, &c., J. HALL, Inspector-General of Hospitals. General Sir William J. Codrington, K.C.B, Commanding - in -Chief. • . . . t .9l4. "''' .'° M Enclosure 2.

Sir,—ln reply to your query of this morning, I have the honour to inform you that First Class Staff-Surgeon Mclllree arrived at Scutari on the 4th November, 1854, and served in the General Hospitals ther3 until February, 1856, when lie came to the Crimea. He was anxious to have served, in the Crimea at an earlier period, but Dr. Cumming, Inspector-General or Hospitals and Principal Medical. Officer at Scutari, wrote to me to say that he found him se efficient and useful in the hospitals that be could not spare him, but trusted it would not militate against his future prospects. Mr. M'lllree entered the service in February, 1835, ob tained his Surgeoncy in December, 1841, and was pro moted to his present rank in October, 1814.-1 have, &c.,, J.

TIIE LATE THOMAS ATTWOOD. A town's meeting was held in the Town Hall, at Birmingham, yesterday, the Mayor (I'. R. T. Hodgson, Esq.,) in the chair, for the purpose of devising the best means of carrying into effect the resolve of a small meet ing held a week or two since, the raising up of a me merial commemorative of the great public services of the late Thomas Attwood. The hall wa.; well filled ; Mr. Muetz, M P., Mr. Scholefield, M.P., Mr. Salt, Mr. George Edmonds, Mr. William Mathews, Mr. Joseph Webster, Mr. J. Betts, Mr. Alderman Cutler, Mr. Alderman Baldwin, and all the surviving political unionwts were present, many of them wearing the long laid-by medals. The meeting was of a most enthusiastic character, and the follo w i ng , amongst o th er reso l ut i ons , was passed : " That the eminently patriotic services of the late Thomas Attwood, as the leader of the greatest political movement of this century, deserve an acknowledgment from the coun try. In a time of great public peril, when law and liberty were alike in danger, he curbed the passions of the people by his wisdom, and led them to victory by the force of his enthusiasm and the earnestness of his patriotism. Ho sought no compensation for his sacrifices, and bo ac cepted no reward for his services; and this meeting is of opinion that it is the duty of all who have profited by his labours and who admire his character to mark their gra titude and perpetuate the memory of his good deeds by a memorial that will be a stimulus and an example to his townsmen for ever." A handsome sum was subscribel in the hall ; and a committee was appointed to decide on the form which this memorial of honour and gratitude shall take. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

SAUNDERS, or THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY..—A most interesting presentation of plate to Mr. Saunders, the secretary of the Great Weetern Railway, took place in the Board-room on Saturday afternoon, when about 200 of the clerks and other employes on the line assembled . not more than that number, out of about 1,200 gentlemen, employed as managers and clerks on the line, being able to be : spared from their duties at one time. The testimonial, which had been got up so privately that Mr. Saunders knew nothing of it within a very few days of the time, consisted of a most elegant epergne—supported by ex quisitely-modelled figures, representing Justice, Indust. try, and Wisdom—and two beautiful claret jugs. The plate was designed and executed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, and the epergne was surmounted by some ex. quisite artificial flowers (from the studio of Mrs. Stodart, a floral artist of great talent). Mr. Saunders, who was most deeply affe,ted and loudly cheered, expressed his heartfelt thanks in a very neat and appropriate speech. laII. nem )tter, 6viere rived clock n the thief, it of cap. )urg :red oria t to 'ion Leh- ?id led els ra• I I 1 ,~, io 100 3 1p 5 5 ?.0 10 94 i 78 a 51 5 10 St. St. 100 'lOO 100 all 1 1 , g: :(4 tO(1 1.00 10 t.
