Hyde, 33, Ely-place. - 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 purchased 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 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 its superior situation and many other advantages, will be at least equal to the most lucrative undertakings of a similar nature. A Bill giving powers to the Company, with reference to the site in Trafalgar-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 liability; bat should that or the site not be obtained the deposit will be returned to the Shareholders, lees a sum not exceeding 38. per share on ac count of expenses. Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Brokers, Messrs. Helbert, Wagg, and Co., 1, Shorter's-court, Throgmorton-street ; or Me-srs. 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 2/. per Share payable after allotment, and will be repaid in the event of the application not being acceded to ; and no further Ball will be made until the agreements for the purchase of the site have been settled. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may bo obtained of the Brokers or the Secretary. H. DAVIDSON, Secretary. Name Profession or Business Address Date ... Offices, 4, Whitehall.

Amongst the various points to be passed in re view before the delusive nature of the peace can be . • properly understood none exceeds in importance the Danubian Principalities ; for none bears more directly at once upon the East and upon the West. Upon the West as the centre where the dominions of Austria, Russia, and Turkey converge, and through which flows the greatest of European water courses—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 populatioL, 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 Moldavia, 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 opportunity within the reach of Turkey of competing successfully with Russian trade. With regard to the first, whatev er may he 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 word s, 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 Adrianople in 1829, in direct violation of the j a tu n hs c et e iirc t er o et t so h t i e Tt au f t r ri e ko e en3 n rt; a o v j i tu g hs a te t i i cp o e former compact. Those islands are of paramount import ef ourselves, the an act an d o a f s a o t r o t o d also an invaluable guarantee for future p e a c e , it is hardly necessary for us to announce that no stipu lations to that effect have been as much as hinted at by Lord Clarendon. 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, the sham boundary line, the sham range of mountains, the debateable ground, the tievs Caucasus " between Chotym and Lake S ipyk," 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 Russian 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 ampete with and un d erse ll th e Russians, the matter is exceedi ng l y s i mp l e ; but we do not deal with it now, as it i s 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 Russia, were actu ally paying Russia's expenses by English 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 —t o trade with our enemy while engaged in war !—Morning He veld. 1, STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, April 17.--Buyers continue to hold back at the extreme prices asked on Tuesday, and rather less business has been done, but with the present state of the cotton market and the good supply of orders in the hands of both spinners and ma nufacturers there is little or no disposition to make any abatement. The prices of yarns are id. to 1 , 1. per lb. higher than last week, and manuf..cturers are asking from lid. to 3d. per piece higher for shirtings. Ther. is a more general demand both for cloth and shirtings than of late, and the market maintains a healty One.

Three of the Plenipotentiaries will leave Paris on Friday or Saturday—namely, Baron Manteuffel, Count Buol I and Lord Clarendon. They will probably have their audiences of leave to-morrow. As the time is fast approaching for the arrival of the ratifications of peace from Constantinople, and the publication of the protocols, it is perhaps more prudent to hazard as few conjecturers as possible about them ; but, not withstanding the repeated denials about the Italian question having been treated in the Congress, it is now beyond doubt that it has been treated, and at some length, though it is certain that but little of what passed will be found in those documents. Indeed, I should not be surprised if the subject were despatched very briefly. It will, perhaps, 169 said that while the Congresa has taken into consi deration the condition of certain of the Italian States, and while it admits the necessity of reform, yethaviLg no special mission on the subject itadopts no resolution on it. Even if this version be correct, and I by no means guarantee it, it does not follow that strong remonstrances will not be addressed to the King of Napl( s and the Pope. If these remon strances are without effect, the Italian people may take the matter into their own hands. Be this as it may, I repeat that much has been said about Italy in the Congress of which the protocols will make no mention. [ PRIOR 4D. STAMPED SD• John Sadleir; W.

Last night the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained his Excellency Mr. Dallas, the new American Minister, at dinner at the Mansion- A person who professes to be wellacquainted with the Court of Berlin, wrttes to the following effect, under date the 10th : " Do you really believe that a few scandalous and san guinary incidents are only passing here I You are in error if you do so. I know the country well, and I can clearly see the plague 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, and the Rhenish provinces were only given her in order to perpetuate it. But Englannas two powerful reasons to interest herself in the future' f Prussia. One is, as you are aware, recent. The eldest daughter of Queen Victoria is destined to be one day Queen of Prussia, if Heaven spares her life. But what is of still greater in terest to England is that Prussia is the only nation on the Continent which, as Protestant and possessing a constitutional Government, offers an alliance to England amid the hatreds which have been on all sides excited 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 bya single word addressed to Russia, havesaved 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 ances to the contrary, only convince those who are in the secret of the depth of their hatred. The noblesse in its feudal frenzy drams 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 meantime the people coalesce with the middle classes, and, all of them having served in the Landwebr, they receive fr me the members of colleges and of, the literal professions counsels the more formidable that they are justified, and provoked by men city. To compete the general confusion, the great employes are constantly at loggerheads ; they insult each other without taking the trouble to conceal their quarrels. house, in honour of his arrival in this country as the ac credited representative of the great Transatlantic Re public. A numerous and distinguished company were invited on the occasion, including, among many others, Mrs. and Miss Dallas, Mr. P. Dallas, Miss Nicklin, Lord Stanley, M.P., Mr. Walpole, M.P., •24r. M. Gib son, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Capt. Scobell, M.P., the Hon. J. Bytig, Mr. W. Miles, M.P., Mr. Roebuck, M.P., Mr. Masterman, M.P., Mr. Stafford, M.P., Mr. Cowan, M.P., Mr. Heywood, M.P., andlYhs.

Ewart, M.P., Mr. Adam Black, M.P., Sir Charles and Lady Eastlake, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Mr. W. C. Wentworth, Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., and Mrs. Hill, and Alder- man Cubitt, M.P. 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 tain Sc 71301, M.P., respectively. The LORD MAYOR then said he rose to propose the health of one of his honoured guests that evening, his Excellency the representative of the United States. (Cheers.) Mr. Dallas bad 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 nation on the 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 one of the most honoured guests at the banquets at the Mansion-house. He re membered how often he had had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Abbott Lawrence, a former American Minister, on such occasions. There the American Minister, who ever he might he, 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 es it afforded them an opportunity of reciprocating those kindly feelings which it was the interest as well as the 1 uty of E Jglishmen to cultivate towards their fellow izens and national kinsmen on the opposite side of the Atlantic. (Cheers.) There was no reason whatever hy they should be jealous of the Americans ; but, on the contrary, there was every reason why they should be proud of them. He was sure he rightly interpreted the feelings of the people of this country when he said shat all they desired with respect to the American peo- Ile was that the most, intimate social relations should ever exist between the two countries. (Cheers.) They spoke the same language, and possessed a common lite rature, and he could hardly understand how any ques ion c Juld arise the settlement of which could render it n Tessary to have rec ,urse td the dreadful alternative of war. (Rear.) He presided there on behalf of his fellow eitizAis, who entertained no other feelings than those of the most cordial friendship towards the American peo ple, which feelings they desired to perpetuate, and had invited Mr. Dallas to partake of his hospitality because hie Excellency was the representative of a kindred na .ion, to whom the people of Great Britain were united by coileiderations 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.) Tne toast was drunk with enthusiasm, the band play ing "Hail Columbia" acid "Yankee Doodle." Mr. DALLAS, on rising to respond to the compliment, was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. He said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, 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-this distinguished assembly, are entitled, and I hope will receive, _ my return of gratitude. In truth, I am almost bankrupt in the language of thanks ; forever since I t iandediaa, sionn.of..mitrAnstrious queen, as the represonteiviof 01141AmericaitGovelimeiT and ppople ; I have met with nothing but a series of the most flattering demonstratioris of welcome and hospita lity. (Cheers.) I perfectly well know that these manifes 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. Brit 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 subjEtcts on which it would be 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 but little hazard if I venture, ac cording to a provincialism natural to a western tongue, to " guess" that the spirit and purpose of a new comer may have excited at least some little curiosty. (A. laugh.) Well, my lord, let me say that I am not authorised to feel, and do not feel, sag desire other than that of giving my exertions and energies unreservedly to the restora tion of the most harmonious sentiments and friendly re lati , ng. (Cheers.) Animated by this spirit, and aim ing at such purpose, if I fail—and I may fail—it will be because of some inexorable, overruling State policy, or some foregone conclusion not to be undone by uniform, steady, persevering, frank, and honourable conciliation. (Renewed cheery.) My lord, permit me, in conclusion — for my object is to be exceedingly brief—to tender to your lordship and the guests assembled here my congra tuktions on the great event consummated since my arrival among you—the restoration of peace to Europe. (Cheers.) War, although undoubtedly accompanied by its moral benefits or alleviations, is at best an evil ; and the vast powers of this empire, although for a time, and however gallantly, enlisted - and ably directed, will find more genial and more fruitful employment in those channels, agriculture, commercial, and manufacturing, and those pursuits which hams 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," Lord STANLEY, M.P., briefly acknowledged the com pliment. It was a bold thing, he said, to undertake in associating with it the name oitmvriohiteoenoseeneseasfea o vsnrtudrs ehT f aaacd:tecoss,c L sdi onptkiwst a,ime o oheener r mtdotgmlo d oealeueawi-sfon S lodalndr t esd a dcbe n ohogre l fmiie e snE y amegne . xofgtot any company, still more in their presence, 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 he could express the unanimous feeling not only of the Legislature, but—what was quite as impor tant—of those for whom the laws were made. (Hear.) He thanked the Lord Mayor for having given him that opportunity—an opportunity of which others had availed themselves—of expressing aloud that which was in the thoughts of all—namely, their deep, earnest, and almost passionate desire that, be the chances and changes of political events what they might, England might retain inviolate that national alliance of which they had among them at that moment the living repre sentative—an alliance which had its root in considera tion of temporary or political expediency, but which rested on the surer basis )h o hopes Upon the a of c mt o h m aen m kui o nn n idoo o i ni had r i u g olsf i n tt rdt , t wihhoe t eena h us es e se: uf c etoa o tpairw r n nLco oaeden man language, the common laws, the common energies, and the common aspirations of the two mighty empires, and even in that which they must all acknowledge -- a common family likeness in common faults and nodt men u our rnhelmeaneelddade t oas t a o ndwn m uo , hisau i oogl n dffe failings (Cheers, h t i e o e n r s s , depended a la u J i b e . of the world ; and if they went on as the i y nd long time past, within a century f r om the present t . the earth would be inhabited by 300,000,000 of the enterprising l A atpb3fdw,wtp ut,hie, descendants, loh n i teneoTedi istwa g inychpchae l ereol rcheoeeepErn.

(Hear.) The hon. 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, gave " The Health of the Lady Mayoress," which was drunk with acclamation. The Loan MAYOR, in responding to the toast, told Mr. Dallas that if his diplomacy was equal to his gal lautry he 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. Harker oilaiatea - as toastmaster. " All that occurs is attributable to the Kirg, who alternately encourage to extreme measures the liberals and the aristocracy. He abounds in theory, and ever pushes it to its extreme limit, and exhausts either system by turns. You are surprised, I suppose, when you learn that a favourite counsellor perishes by his Own hand ; when another, seeking in vein the protection of hi' , 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 the King following his funeral, and weeping for him whose life and dignity in the State he hesitated to save. Does all this realty astonish you ? ut such things will henceforth become more formidable, and more frequent. Who does not know, for instance, that this worthy Seigneur, this perfectly honest man, Count de Maltzan, Minister for Foreign Affairs, died mad ? He had a 1111 C• cessot whose ability, whose fine intellect, sad whose at. tentive manners were known and appreciated by Europe. That Minister, who was a soldier as well as a writer, could not long survive the petty but implacable warfare waged against him. The history of the career of M. de 8., one of the rivals the Kieg constantly 'opposed to him 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 he brought back the Catholic branch which he subsequently tried to engraft on the stein of Protestantism-; the branch soon decayed because is 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 re noz=r o n e iL Rome, Niebua seiburi z ;i 2ek, weiare - tber Prince asked his guide for" explanations of all he saw around him. Niebuhr,' ns unyielding as the Fates them selves, out short the thread of the Prince's discourse, and proved to his Royal Highness that he was utterly in error. The Prince returned in a rage to the Prussian Embassy and demanded for the following day M. de 8., another, but less eminent, antiquarian, attached to the Prussian mission, in order to continue his researches. This savant, who was a better courtier than the other, made a complete conquest of the Prince, who, as soon as he mounted the throne, drew him from his Carter laires and his Po2inipsestes, and transformed him into a statesman. He ',rose to the summit ; but soon shared the fate of all who have bad the misfortune to be the King's favourite—he fell. Believe me, we are all falling I" 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 raging, 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 any nation. She has been perfidious to friend and foe alike, and has not hesitated to accept from the hand of the common 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 Bignon, "that to that pru ssia alliance dori n n g o the Treaty of the 15th of February ( 1806 ) was signed, Napoleon did more than hate Prussia — he conceived for her the most profound contempt. All his views from that day were based on considera tions foreign to her alliance ; he con ceived new projects and longer existed." the crisis of the la st three y ears, wh ich for the pre sent is terminated , does not qualify her to be th e a ll y a an y power. formed lh n e e w oon plans due as iff THE MOON'S MOTION.--A. controversy is on foot in the Times, on the question whether the moon can be properly said to have a motion round its axis. It the tact were, as one of the parties assumes, that the moon always kept the same face towards the earth, like an apple turned round our heads at the end of a pole, the question might, in some points of view, be what Ben tham would call a logomachy ; 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, 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 adeition to what is visible at ether times. It is worthy of remark, that all the motions of planetary bodies round their axes, so far as known, are perfectly uniform. Nobody ever suspected an alteration in the time of the earth's performing its diurnal rotation, nor surmised a reason why there should be one.—From the Manchester Examiner. THE EGG TRAFFIC.—I° this department of imports tie we have noticed the the Clyde from Londonderry , within these few years past a great increase has bee going on. To give our readers an idea of its amount during the past two months, we may state that by the two lines of steamers plying to this from the above port, as well as by other channels, there have been imported here about 2,000 tons of eggs, nine-tenths of which were sold in Glasgow markets. Allowing that in each ton there would be 22,400 eggs, we will find that there h ave been in all 44,800,000 eggs disposed of in sixty days, which, taking the population of Glasgow as at 400,0 00, would give 112 eggs to each individual in the city for ;he tixty days, being about two eggs daily to each. To evidence, however, even more how much the egg tr ade is prosecuted in the Londonderry district, we may a Lai,e that the steamers plying to Liverpool, &0., therefiton 1, take over very heavy cargoes of the same useful von modity.—Glasgow Daily Mail. LONDON, FRIDAY RVENINGI APRIL 18 1866, METROPOLITAN GOSSIP. (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 as in Ispahan ; and the pert twitter of cock ney sparrows melt into the soft jug-jug of Lalla' Rook 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 tho baleful gaze of the malefic Ursa Major," to whose evil every other major is minor, save taking care of Major Dowbiegin, which is the maximum of all misfortune. Brunoff, or Orloff, or Kislieffe, or Meden, or whoever he the Muscovite plenipo coming over 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 gi g antic Jack Sheppard. The precise Period when the by-no-means double-sighted elderly Highlander made that discovery, though now rather late in the day to be inquired ,into, happens to be one of the chief gossipisme of • the week, because of Malmes bury's letter in the leading journal of yesterday, in re ference to the late Sir C. Hotham's neglected recom mendation about mortar-boats, for what the ex- Foreign Secretary calls the then (1853) "inevitable war." The question is, why did not Aberdeen know it to be in evitable? 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 exploration of mares' nests. It was stated at the time, in this column, very circumstantially, and is now repeated by Malmesbury, that Hotham repu diated the Australian appointment, as being unfit for it, and asked for a naval command, for which he was fit, and for which the approach of war made him doubly anxious. But it was not stated then, though it may be stated now, that he himself, just before he left this country, told an intimate friend there would be no war, because he had been assured by the First Minister, that, for certain rea sons, war was impossible. What were those reasons? That is the point; but it is a point we may never get beyond. 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 deen. But who or what was Aberdeen's authority? That he was juggled 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' eyes. Palmerston, too, WAS hood winked, or rather pretended to be no ; and hence the other wise wholly unaccountable neglect of the militia, to which the gentleman who spoke of " credulity and connivance" has frequently made allusion, with a significance showing that there are other than Asian mysteries within his necro mantic cognisance. Some people have got hold of a tale, and 'a not improbableone it perhaps is, and that wonderful Count Padden, 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 f2risehton, v ithin 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 questionables 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 p••ecipitate 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 Whigeery would insist on dividing upon a point that served merely to exhibit his feebleness ; and came out of the lobl-y in a minority of nearly one hundred. Palmerston, who doesn't believe in original sin, but yet deems some sort of instruction ne cessary to keep Englishmen from being heathens, voted, with a sort of charitable condescension for his quondam superior, who had for his fellow-teller—oh! tell it not in the Reform! —Sir John Pakinyton, "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 far parallels, and gloating in anticipation over the disasters of his country men" at 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 fonrth ; for it is clear the tAtering 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 ally doubt about. Hence the all-demure and decorous Gladstone shrewishly snubbed both Russell and Palmerston last night; 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 death. Still, the Pony Peel should not be spoken of disparagingly just now, seeing that he has lately said a smart thing, all his own, and not in ,-1...&."-k o d from Sir Robert, who inched never did say anything of the scrt. Wino. .s._ time ago the blunt and bluff Lord Hardwieke, whose portrait would 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 member 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 Engla-d was going headlong, to perdition ,and, positively for the last time of announcement, would be demo lished some particular day of some particular month, unless the right hon. gentleman and half-a-dozen others of his im mediate connexion contracted with Providence for the pre vention of the catastrophe. The Earl, in half jest and whole 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 would be considerably more welcome than his company in so thoroughly Toryfied a latitude, wound up 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 mitted of being divided into three heads, and each head an swered under tlree different aspects. Every question put tb a Peelite does ; he wouldn't be a Peelite if he didn't. How ever, for a wonder, he disposed of it under one head, and at once, saying, with the unctuousness of a benevolent cobra : " Lord Hardwicke, I shalltake my name off the books of the Carlton,when my Lord Derby removes his from Brooks's."

Why, at Brookes's lie can see The Abion, and it is the only Liverpool paper he can see there, being the only that most exclusiv e o f all liberal circles—a one admitted within es—a fact as flattering to your individual vanity as it must be humiliating to your Dicky Samical local antour propre as an inh a bit an t o f th e Tyre of the North, Cartha ge of the Mersey, Second City of the Empire, greater port than London, and all the rest of the ninnyisms beloved by your Little Peddlington press.

But, wh e th er it i s or not, the fact is as a f oresa i d it ; is a fact that b ea t s cock fighting, as anothe r game lord of the same race, one who never showed the white feather to principle for interest, would say.

Thompson tells us that there is something liken conspiracy to suppress the evidence oßhe elsistence of this pretender, Cr phantom of one ; anl hefactints to the fact that whereas an article appeared in the QUarterl!) some years ago, explaining all about it, there is no rertirence in the index since published to that explanation —a clear proof to the Colonel that the . . cue to Croker's bugaboo has been barked by the publisher. Croker, by the way, may,,perhaps, clear off old accounts ou that as well as other scor4s next week, in forthcoming Quar terly, wherein he is to scarify the satirist of Disraeliand him self [think of a "slashing article" by Rigby against the libeller of his own lampooner I] Mr. Humdrum Hayward, who has been making such a noise in the papers of late, about Monta lembert and the future of England. Future of England; quotha! Past of England, of Eng land passe, as the antidiluviau es-Secretary of the Admi ralty would say if he heard from the lips of the First Lord, tonight, the t.remendous tidings tha the Dreadnought is to be done away with. What the Dreadnought moored of Greenwich, that delightfully dilapidated old three-decker, the pride and glory of Blackwell whitebait eaters, the only .floating thing the Thames has in the shape of maritime respectability, or that give -us inland cockneys a sniff of the saltwater to look at—this to be done away with? Impossible ! Fact, nevertheless ; for though Wood isn't much of a con juror, it is presumed he knowsyshat he is talking about when he says that; and that's whatjte has Said to-night at the London Taverss. But don'ts' alarmed. "Dreadnought" is the word still. Although she is to disappear, she is to be replaced by the Camperdown, •of 600 tons greater burden ; so we shall have a line-of-battle ship half as big again to look at, and thereby be proportionably as much more superior as we are now in our acquaintance with such leviathans to ye den i zeus of the. merely mercantile Mersey, saying nothing of our poSsession of that unique monster of the deep, Scott Russell's stupendous stupidity. 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 marine failure of every sort ; but the great . failure of all is the failure in having foreseetkthat it must be a failure. Much of the capital suck in her construction will be clogged with 30 per cent interest before she can be floated, if floated she over be. When floated she can never bo docked, never be cleaned, in any part of the world except the Isle of Dogs, Loudon ; but to the dogs of a far distant part of the world she must go if anythin g happen her machi nery, as it assay readily be unde rs t oo d when it is known 'hat the 3d-toe block of metal forming the centre of her shaft has taken perpetual relays of men six mhiths 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 been the laughing-stock of many judges, and the crying stock of more, not since the builder's blow up, but for several months previously, ever since the design of the thing really became tangible ; and the uniform remarks of those who knew anything 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-box of uinepence half penny on the 26th of December. A 0. 1991 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 a', 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 , n of inlescribable two-legged curiosities who face each other across the pair of Parliamen tary t doles in the two houses. Of much the same' attenuated, wiry, dislosated anatomy; as restless in his attitude's as spasmodic, electric, galvanic, and voltaic in his gestures as Brougham himself, his visage is equally mobile as that of old Harry ; but, unlike the busy B.'s, it has one, and only one ex pression, namely, overpowering astonishment that he, Wood, should be Secrets, y of the Treasury, Chancellor of the Exchequer, President of the India Board, First Lord of the Admiralty, or what not. as the case nosy be. Now certainly, • under the circumstances, that is a most natural expression; and it does great'credit to Sir Charles' accurate appreciation of himself and the times. he lives in. It is a sentiment which the public fully reciprocate, only _ _ _ • . _ they can't be always indulging in and dwelling upon it, as he, much to the repute of his modesty and industry, seems to be everlastingly doing. Well, if that be the expre-sion of Wood's face at ordinary times, what must it be, what must it not be, ou such au extraordinary occasion as to-night ? Let any man iv o has ever seen Wood making a speech in his ordinary attire, feiskiag and skippin about, bending forward within half a feet of his feet, one moment, and throwing his head b Lek within half a yard of his heels, the next I —now haw-hawing like a tu•keY-cock, and then neighing like a filly at his own jokes, only a filly doesn't joke, though what else should make a herse 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-collar right up to the ears ; and then making, not one, but 16 speeches, at the head of . m public dinner table. All, that was a spectacle to be forgotteh_ouly with life by the lucky beholder. To-day, at the Savierp sale, a beautiful. woman sold for 16/.. Don't beesMooked—iiew. , patntivet , ' female, and net 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 Hoga.rth ; but if, instead of a beautiful woman, it had been Wood, in the figur e h e cu t to-night, such a production by such au artist would ha ve b r ought 1,0001., and been cheap at the money. However, as some learned author has some where profoundly remarked, appearances are often deceitful ; and, as another equally erudite philosopher has also sagaciously observed, we should not always judge by appearances. Despite his funereal comicality, or comical funereality, if there be such a phrase. Sir Charles really made a very good sort of chair man. He gallopped through the toasts as he used to do through the estimates in hi s hi gg l e dy-piggledy budgets, and before you wdl knew wh a t it wa s he was going to propose, he was calling upon you to drink it with three the rs, and was hip-hip-hurrahing hims e lf a t such a rate that nearly took the breath out of Toastm as t er Hi g gs with amazement. . If he didn't get on in this fashion he would never have got through to-night's business at all ; for, with the exception of that antique blazer and Salamairline devourer of combustibles Admiral Bowles, all the duty of spouting 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 Whig' as he is, brother-in-law of two Greys, uncle of three Russells, and cousin to nineteen Elliots, he took the highly constitutional and very Hampdeu-in-the-field-and- Sydney-on-the-s.:affold privilege of doctoring the toast list, that is, striking out certain toasts. Among them was, " The Foreign Sovereigns Contiibating 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 called Caligula, or some complimentary classic something or other of the kind, at the time when, as Victor Hugo says, as he alone can say—" Schinderannes became Caesar 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 700 f., We al contrived to have a sly hit or two at him, de claring with highly italicised 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 migliti soon see by going to Spithead ono of these fine days ; that our army are wallowing in luxuries,, equally full of food and fight, knowing no fear but the fear tt,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 on till we had grilled the last tallow-candle eater, or frog-eater 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. Therefore, shouted Wood, (and no non-sequitur was it either,) I give you " The wooden walls of Old England !" Rule Britannia, of course, was bellowed by the band, (Coldstreams _magnificent,) all the company joining chorus, Sir Charles pitching the key—very strong—and a stimulating rattle of subscriptions, to the tune of nearly 9031., rolling rejoicingly in, including ten guineas from M'Gregor Label, 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 maliue ' 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 teoth-acl , e P. S. Now that you have read all this circumstantial de scription of the affitir, perhaps it is as well to tell you the name of it, namely—the Seaman's Hospital Anniversary. Naval and Military intelligence. The Commander in Chief of the fleet at. Portsmouth and Rear-Admiral Sir M. F. Berkeley held a levee yes terday at the, Admiralty-house, which was attended by all the captains •of the fleet, with the object of finally arranging the movements to be executed at the review by the Queen. The fleet was joined yesterday ley the Am peine, 34, Captain H. CSa.ls ; the Pyledes, 21, Captain D'Eyneourt ; and the Harier, 17, Commander Derriman, from the Baltic; and the Archer, 14, Capt. i-leathcote, from Portsmouth harbour. The Victor, 6, despatch gun vessel, Commander De Horsey, was taken ant, of dock' yesterday, The Rodney, 90, •‘ pivot ship," Capt. son, bent sails yesterday morning, preparatory to going out to-day or to-morrow to Spithead. The Vulcan, 6, steam troop-ship, 'Commander Bowyear, had her com presses adjusted yesterday, preparatory to, going to Spit head. The weather yesterday was exceedingly fine, and the fleet looked grand in the extreme. All who desire to view its unbroken and deeply-striking proportiousshould see it as it now is, and steam through it. The General Screw Company's steam transport Cal cutta sailed for the Crimea yesterday morning with the Governmeet passengers previously enumerated in The Sun. The Golden Fleece and the Jason will sail this morning for the ewe destination. These three vessels will be employed in .the conveyance of horses and troops from the Black Sea to England. Toe prepara tions for the grand naval review at Spithead on the 23d instant • are causing cousiderable activity at South ampton. Nearly the whole of the accommodation at the principal hotels is disposed of, and the difficulty to procure sleeping apartments is already apparent. The Peninsular and Oriental Company are preparing the whole of their available ships for the purpose of convey ing the dire,ctors and shareholders and their friends to witness the display. These vessels will inc ude the screw steamers Alma, Sultan, Manilla, and Alhambra, and the - she' 1 ship s Euxine and Ripon. The Pasha of Egypt's small steam-ya Mustip'ia Bey, now lying at Southampton, will also leave fur Spithead. The Royal Mail Company are getting ready the Atrato and Tay to convey their directors an i shareholders, and her Ma jesty's mew steam-transport Himalaya is, under the superintendence of Capt. Engledue, Superintendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Csmpeuy, being provided with sleeping accommodation for 600 persons. This fine vessel will also be present dureig the review. Berths are also made up on hoard many of the ships in the docks for the use of the members of the mail com panies. Several announcements of the departure for Spithead of chartered steam-ships, at one guinea per head, are posted throughout the town. It is expected that between 20 and 30 steamers will leave Southamp ton on the day of the grand spectacle, carrying an im mense number of spectators. Tee directors of the Southampton Dock Company have agreed that on this eccasion no tonnage dues or other charges shall be made on steamers coming in to embark or to laud passengers. The passengers also will be embarked and landed free of charge. Tue company, however, require notice from all steam-ships not belonging to the port, in order that proper berths may be assigned to them. The Iwperatriz steam transport, Capt. Cox, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the eastward, with Russian (late) prisoners, as specified in The Sue of yesterday. She has embarked others at Portsmouth, and will take in more from Lewes and convey them to a port in the Baltic. Toe Lancashire Witch clipper, 1,300 tons, Capt. A. S Molison, belonging to Meeers. Dunbar and Co., sailed from Portsmon h yesterday for Hobart Town and Wel- lingten, New Zealand, with the following officers and men for the above poses Vlaj pr Blosse, 11th Regi tneut, in military cAnmand ; Dr. Bit ken, of the 74%, in medical charge ; 3 officers, 74 non-commissioned offi cers and privates, 2 women, 5 children, and 6 bugler, and drummers of the 11th Regiment, 1 officer, 85 non commi, , sioned officers and men, 2 women, and 6 childret: of the 12th Regiment ; and 1 officer, 251 men, 30 wo men, and 29 children of the 65th Regiment. The gun-boats Spey and Tilbury, which sailed from Wool etch on Wednesday evening forPortamouth, put in from stress of weather, and anchnrel during the night at Greenhithe, but left again yesterday. Two mortar ft , ats, Nos. 112 and 113, were yeterday received at Woolwich from Messrs. Scott Russell's. They are to go int basin to be rigged and fitted out. A new screw steam gun-boat, the Peacock, 2, with engines of 60-horse power, has been launched at Messrs. Pitcher's of North fleet, and forwarded to Woolwich, where she is to be docked and fitted for service. A telegraphic message was yesterday morning for- warded to ll,ptford and Woolwich dockyards from the Lords of the Admiralty, giving instructions for the im mediate suspension of any turther despatch of gun-boats and vessels thence to Portsmouth, the number intended for the ilaval review being complete. Orders have been received at Woolwich arsenal to prepare ammunition for the use of seven regiments of the line abour, to proceed to Canada. These regiments, it is said, are to be transported from the East to Ca nada, in the-Duke* , Wellineton. andotber Jarge ves sels of war, immediately after the grand naval review at ,Vortsmouth. Toe order for contintrieg the large establishment em ploy ed ak Woolwich arsenal has boon ..aatermanded, and fresh instructions have been delivered by the war authorities, by which it is decided that a reduction in the number of labourers working in the various depart ments inu,t be attempted. On or about the Ist of May nexi, 50 collar makers are to be discharged from the storekeeper's department ; 200 of different trades are to be pensioned and discharged from the carriage factory ; and 200 men and boys are to be discharged from the laboratory. A. circular has been forwarded from the Horse Guards to the'officers commanding depots at Chatham garrison, directing that the settlement of accounts of bread, meat, and forage for the army be transferred from the Com missariat to the War Department, and ordering that in future the forms directed to be kept are to be'sent to the examiner at the War Department, and the dupli cates to the office of the Accountant• General.
