LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1856. Mr. WHITESIDE'S motion, respecting the fall of Kars, has been rejected by a very decided ma jority. No less than 303 Honourable Gentle men voted in favour of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment, while 176 endorsed the formidable bill of indictment preferred against them. Several causes however led to this result. There was, as we stated on Monday, a serious division in the Derbyite Camp. Many of the party considered the attack premature, and that it might more judiciously be made a portion of the charges against the Ministry, when the entire conduct of the war, and its most lame and impotent conclu sion were brought under the consideration of the House. These "neutrals" arrayed themselves under the flag of Mr. KER. SEvmEn—and num bered, including tellers, 54 votes, which, on the division, made a difference of 108. Had they supported the original motion the majority would have been reduced from 127 to 19, a, matter on which the Cabinet could not greatly have prided itself. But there was something more than mere numbers to he taken into account. All the argu ments adduced on either side were in favour of the Opposition. The brilliant oratory and con clusive reasoning of Mr. WHITESIDE, Sir. E. BULWER LYTTON, and Mr. DISRA.ELI remained unanswered, as it was unanswerable, while the Ministerialists either attempted to shift the blame to other shoulders, or made appeals ad. miser', cordiam, praying for a plenary amnesty for acknowledged offences. Sir JAMES GRAHAM made a very powerful speech in favour of the motion, against which herecorded his vote. With the single exception of Lord PALMERSTON not a single wen • ber attempted to justify the Government, or the chief. delinquent, Llrd STRITFORD DE REDCLIFFE. The main object of the motion, which, as Mr. DrsneEEl truly declared, was not intended to occa sion an immediate overthrow of the Administra• tion, was thus accomplished, and Lord PALMER STON may find that such a victory is far morn to be deprecated, than a succession of defeats similar to those to which he has become " case har dened," and is comp tratively indifferent, inas much as they do not involve the surrender of the sweets of office--to the emoluments and patronage Rh ereof even the most patriotic and unselfish members on both sides of the base are by no means insensible. We care not whether the entire conduct of the War from the alpha to the omega, the beginning to the end, is to be Considered as a wiaole, or whether that portion of it relating to the War in Asia be solely takan into account ! In either ease the judgment must be adver se to her MAJ,ESTY'S Government, and to the secret and unconstitutional influences that control its deci sions. That the fall of Kars, and the acquisitions of Russia in Asiatic Turkey, materially affected the position of the enemy at the Conferences of Paris, and enabled her to claim, and to obtain far better term; is indisputable. It was, vir tually, the set-off against the capture of Sebastopol, and the operations in the Euxine and Sea of Azoff. It maintained the prestige of Russia with the Asiatic Courts, one of the first fruits whereof was perceptible in the diplomatic difficulty with Persia. It enabled the aggressor to retire without humiliation, or loss of substantial powers, one of the objects, to the attainment whereof all the efforts of " Germanism" were directed. It virtually led to " The Precious Treaty," the in auspicious peace, which England should mourn in sackcloth and ashes. And all this might have been avoided, if General WILLIAms had, in duo time, been recognised by the English Governmemt, and obtained a credit of some 5 0,0001. or 60, 000'., scarcely more than the amount squandered o u the Naval Review and the quasi rejoicings, i n which the great body of the people will not particip.ste. As the Right Honourable Member for Bucks truly declared, the sum that might have been contri buted for a successful railway speculator, the sum that every hour we are called upon to contribute for some meritorious but obscure instance of meri torious conduct, would have sawed Ktrs. But neither men nor money were forthcoming. The Government acted, not merely as if the conquest of Sebastopol was of primary importance, but as though the fate of Kars was a matter cf the most perfect indifference. And that, although the ABERDEEN Ministry, with which they take especial care not to identify themselves, had not been affected by the gross negligence respecting the War in Asia, which was the first move in " the House that JACK built" for his own occu pation, but which became the pleasant residence of some of his quondam. colleagues. Tha debate just concluded has been but one of many that must arise. For the time being Ministers have achieved a triumph ; but it is one on which they cannot pride themselves, and which must greatly conduce to that point to which all minds are now directed—a speedy appeal to the country—and the verdict of the Grand Inquest of the Nation on all the events connected with the conduct of the War, from its very commencement to its ill omened conclusion. Reform or Revolution, one or the other, is now —it will not be so long—at the option of the despotic rulers of Italy. There is a limit to human endurance, and that limit there is every reason to believe has been arrived at by the Italian people. According to general precedent, their oppressors are the last to remain in igno rance of the danger impending over them. That danger, however, is none the less imminent, and it is to be hoped the Governments of this country, Sardinia, and we suppose we must arid France, who do recognise it, will be prompt and energetic in their endeavours to make the Governments of Rome and Naples share their convictions. It is no ordinary yoke under which the people labour, Ind no ordinary wrongs they require to have righted, or will most infallibly avenge. Cities for years in a state of siege, with foreign as well as native mercenaries and cut-throats in occupa tion, their every action controlled, liberty of speech and thought, even liberty of motion, look, caste, and domestic privacy denied them, subjected to daily and hourly arrests with or without the shadow of a just cause—every prison crowded with their best and noblest, a spy or a bravo in every nook and behind every bush—no honest man's life safe—such are the chief items of the unholy catalogue. Terrible, if not anticipated by the concession of good government, must he the expiation. It will not be the Austrian or French Armies of occupation, nor both united, that will resist the revolutionary torrent ; and whatever be the case with Austria, it will hardly be from France further materials for resistance will be forthcoming. The French soldiery will be wanted at home. For our part, we look with apprehension on the prospect, not because of any misgivings as to how such a revolution is likily to affect us, but from regard to humanity, aid from a sincere devotion to well-ordered liberty. If good govern ment is to be had without revolution, we would not have the chance of getting good government risked by revolution. Good government is too priceless a treasure for that. Worthy of every sacrifice—it is worthy of reasonable forbearance —of abstinence from the rigid exaction of.puni tive justice. Had, however, it must be, and we trust the interference of England and Sar dinia may prove of a nature to' obviate the neces sity of a revolution to attain it. Tf the Court of Rome has not lost all claim to a nputation for sagacity, it must on their representationi, and under all the circumstances, b prepared to recog nise without much difficulty the necessity of secularising the Government of the Roman people, and of the organisation of a Ministry worthy of their cpnalenc3, so as to render the POPE independent of, foreign support, and do away with a spectacle scanialous to all Christen dom—a Christian Pontiff reizninz temporally only by the grace of foreign bayonets. As for Naples, that pitiless baboon FERDINAND has shown himself sensible, as one-headed tyrants usually are, to fear, and, one way or other, it is just pos sible he may be sufficiently work3d upon to empty his prisons of political pris )Hers, cut dowu his armies of cut-throats and spies, and suffer his people to breathe a little of the air of liberty. If France and Austria be wise they will furnish him with to the full as strong motives fur such a con cession as Sardinia and England. Meanwhile, ternp its ftwit. "GERMAN PASTE." Our English glory is confirmed, our triumph ratified, A little English gold has gone—a few brave men have died ; But " Articles of Peace " are signed, and form a painted ca;e. Where, like tlto "Happy Family," all nations lose their rage. 'Tis curious to watch the "Bear" bow down with courtly stoop, And let the gallant eagle strut around him " cock-a-whoop ; " 'Tisstrango to see the Lion stretched, like lamb ou flowery plain, While Russian Rat •,s and Austrian Cats are playing with his mane, 'Tis whispered tht re's a secret in the mixture of their food, Some potent chart, a that cunningly affects their real blood ; And shrewd men h: we suspicion that the " secret" is a taste Of that mysterious e( )ndiment well known as "German Paste. ' So satisfyin,?; does it , Drove, so soon it yields onou;h, It seems a pity that o nr "stores" ail not contain tht3 stuff; That English man and English steeds, on Baleklava's waste, Could not havellad thei rlives saved by a little "German Paste." Perhaps John Bull may ask to know how this same etuffis made, Perhaps he'll find that this same stuff affords a Royal trade. Perhaps at last his ge swine and honest roast•beef taste Will" stop supplies" for bills of fare made up of "Germ au Paste." MARCO. COC'ET CIRCULAR.

The Li-erpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices of American were 1-161. per lb. in favour of the buyer, but other sorts remained unchanged from last week's rates. The sales wera estimatel at 8,000 bales, comprising 100 Pernam and Maranham, 63d. to 61(1. ; 200 Egyptian, 7d. to Bid. ; and 2,000 Surat, 4id. to 41d. per lb.

His Excellency, who is staying at the Ship Hotel, will proceed to town by the 12 o'clock train. The Colonial Produce Markets this week have been rather more active, and most of the principal staples have commanded firm prices. Sugar has been in fair demand at fully previous rates, and of coffee there have been moderate purchases at full values. Tea has remained dull, and at the public sale a large quantity was taken in. Rice has been firm, especially the fine sorts; in cocoa no change of importance has occurred, and rum has met with fair inquiry. Pepper and cloves have been rather cheaper, saltpetre has tended downwards, and co chineal has been at previous quotations. In cotton a moderate business has been done. Tallow has continued dull. FRANCE. Our letter from Paris, dated yesterday evening, had not arrived when our afternoon edition went to press. PRUSSIA. i3ERLIN, APRIL 30. The Shuts Anzeiger, of last night, published the text of the treaty of peace. We have received further telegraphic informa tion to-day of a fresh outbreak having taken place at Nablous on the 15th, in repetition of what had already occurred there on the 4th. It is stated that the energetic conduct of the Pasha and of the consuls in Jerusalem, to whom applications for assistance had been made, had succeeded in quel ling the disturbance ; oa this occasion oue life only has been lost. The business of the Bank of London progresses satisfactorily, as will be seen from the following summary of the eighth monthly balance-sheet : Dr. To paid-up capital, 300,000/. ;to amount due by the Bank on current and other accounts, 1,076,4721. 17s. 21. Cr. By Government and other securities, bills discounted, cash on hand, ikc., 1,376,472/. 17s. 2d. The market for public securities has been rather unsettled, some heavy sales having been made upon the expectation that the Bank return will show a further deficiency in the stock of bullion. An attempt has been made to " hang" the mar ket, but this was only partially successful, an influential dealer having appeared as a pur chaser of stock. Consols for money have been 92 A, 924 I, and 92k 1. The account prices have been 921 1, and since 921 s. Thu New 3 per Cents. are about 911 /, and the Reduced 91 to 914. Bank Stock has been quoted aslow as 210. The March Exchequer Bills are 5s to Is. discount, and the June 9s. to 4s. discount. East India Bonds are 10s. to ss. discount. The Russian Minister here gives a grand dinner to-day in honour of the birthday of his Imperial master, the proper anniversary of which, however, fell yesterday, and was duly kept at Charlottenburg. All the ministers, the corps diplomatique, the supe rior officers of the Court and the army, and the commander of the 3d Regiment of Ilu,s,ars (of which the Emperor is Colonel), are to be pre sent. Almost the whole personnel of the Russian Embassy has been changed of late ; all the former membere, with the exception of the Minister him self, have received other appointments, and it is expected that Baron Budberg will also, ere long, be appointed to Vienna. The Empress Mother is expected here in the middle of May to stay for a fortnight in Potsdam, and then repair to Stutt gard and Wildbad. Count, Munster, who has been absent from his post as Prussian military attaché at St. Petersburg during the past winter, has lately returned thither. On the 23d inst. he passed through Warsaw on his way back. About a week back Memel was at length visited ngain by a Russian steam frigate, a sight 'the iNlemelers had not seen for sonic while. The Rus sian.deterinineci to draw ample attention to the fact of the flag's re-appearing off that coast by saluting the town in due style. In Foreign Securities there is very little anima tion. Mexican Bonds are heavy in consequence of no remittance having arrived, and the quotation is 22 to 221. Chilian 6 per Cants. are 104, Rus sian 4i per Cents. 941, and Sardinian 5 per Cents. 95. Spanish Securities are firmer, the Threes being 441, and the New Deferred 214 -g. Turkish 6 per Cents. opened at 97i, but they have since been 96:1, while the 4 per Cents. are 1001. Dutch 21 per Cents. are 631 THE ROYAL ACADEMY. (This Day.) Yesterday her Majesty, according to annual cus tom, honoured the Royal Academy with a visit, for the purpose of inspecting the collection of paintings displayed upon the walls of the three principal apartments. To-day we had the satisfaction of attending the " private view," and of there and then sauntering round the gallery, catalogue in hand, noting whatever appeared to our judgment most notable in this Exhibition for 1856, the eighty eighth since the date of the Academy's inauguration. To-morrow the yearly May dinner will be given to her Majesty's Ministers and other guests of note, with the President, Sir Charles Eastlake, as chair man. And—the aroma of the banquet having evaporated during the intervening Sunday—the public will be admitted as usual on the morning of the first Monday in the vernal month of flowers, to a less substantial feast than the one now in pre paration for our administrators and acade micians, and yet one withal worthy of gratifying the fastidious taste of a more intellectual gourmand than Lucullus. More anon, we shall (be sure of that) have to say of the present season's collection in detail. At present we can only speak of it cursorily in generalities. Among those who do not exhibit this year, are artists of no less import ance than Mulready, and Maclise, and Egg, and Eastlake. Among the exhibitors, the one who disappoints us most of all, perhaps, is the young artist who gave such large promise last spring, by his limning of the artistic procession, a picture, it be remembered, which was immediately purchased by the Sovereign. Ward delights us with another glimpse of the Great French Revolution. Landseer has another wonderful painting of a Newfoundland Dog, dedicated to the Royal Humane Society. Sant almost equals, his exquisite Samuels by his, lovely portraits of two of the very beautiful chid-, dren of his Graca the Duke of Argyll. Stan. field portrays with as magic a p3ucil as ever the hull of a nameless ship weltering upon the rolling waves, far away at sea, a picture called "The Abandono I." celebrates the abominable peace in a manner many will consider hardly less abominable, namely, that, of course, of those astonishing retrograding-innovators the Pr&--Raphaelites. L'Enfunt du Regiment, from the hand of the same youthful geniut, appears, however, to our mind, a picture in its way perfectly, exquisite. Hunt, who is second only to Millais, astounds every visitor to the gallery with his parti• coloured painting of the " Scapegoat," a production some laugh at, while others stand before it lost in admiration. Webster contributes a thoroughly Eng lish picture—a picture as truly national, and, let us add too, as marvellously natural as any ofHo. garth's—in his masterly cottage interior illustra tive of the dear old game of childhood, " Hide and Seek." Everybody who looks at it smiles upon it a panegyric better than any words could possibly pronounce. Young O'Neill, with his view of " Market Day," gives larger promises than ever of following, not unworthily, in the footsteps of Wilkie—and reveals, we cannot bu' think, very remarkable powers indeed as a humorist. Lance, too, in a lower walk of art—what a fruit piece he feasts our eyes with—a painting calculated if possible to extend rather than merely to sustain his unique reputation. Linnell's pastoral version of " Summer Crops"—Solomon's laughing group of "Doubtful Fortune,"—Boddington's de licious little peep of a "Bright Day on the Thames"—Robert's wonderful interior of " St. Peter's on Christmas Day"—R elgrave's green forest vista troddenhy "Little Red Riding Hood" —Uwins's " Gleaners leaving the Stubble Field"— Poole's " Conspirators," Goodall's " Cranmer," and Frost's " Graces"—such are among a few of the other picture's appearing to us, on our first visit, to be especially noteworthy. As for portraits, the rooms are, as usual, hung with them in profu sion. But, then, we can hardly find it in our heart to quarrel with their multiplicity, remembering how many of them aro invested, by mere association, with peculiar interest! Are there not among those portraits—life-like effigies of such men of mark as Charles Dickens, and Thomas Carlyle, and Richai d Owen, and Samuel Warren, and Austin Layard, and other living celebrities, in science, philo sophy and literature ? Enough, however, in this hurried survey cf the Gallery immediately after our return frum the Private view of it during the course of this present afternoon : sufficient having already been remarked by us to show tliat, notwithstanding our exceeding regret at the absence of such men as Mulready and Maclise from among the chief exhibitors, we are dis posed to regard the present exhibition, as in seve ral respects something above the average of the Royal Academy collections. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, 2il ult. The Government of General Canaanfort has been considerably strengthened by the surrender of Puebla on the 221 of March last. This packet brings no remittance for the dividend fund ; but it is hoped that things will soon return to a more regular course. The Ecuatorian Commission of Agency yesterday received a further remittance of 2,905/. Us. 3d., on account of the dividends on the foreign debt of the Republic.

GUTHRIE, F.R.S.—We regret to :An nounce the death of that distinguished surgeon, Mr. J. Guthrie, which took place yesterday morning, at hie residence, Berkeley-street, Berkeley-square. Mr. Guthrie was born in 1785, and commenced at an early age, in the army of his country, a career which con ducted him to the highest places in his profession. His various permanent contributions to the healing art, chiefly in the form of lectures, contemplate almost eve ry form of lesion to which the human body is liable ; bat his chief attention was directed to the eye and its diseases. The Ophthalmic Hospital in King William_ street, Strand, was founded by Mr. Guthrie at a time when the special study of distinct branches of surgery was leas usual than at present, and having been esta blished almost entirely by his dire crions, received for forty years the aslvant.sge of his s'seady support. Mr. Guthrie was for many years one of the examiners of the Royal College of Surgeons, and several times became president of that eminent corporation. His death was not unexpected, having been preceded by several months' illness arising from an aft action of the heart. He leaves ons son, Mr. C. G. Guth' ie, and a daughter. - WELLINGTON COLLEGE.—We are authorised to state that, owing to the unfavourable sta to of the weather, and the little appare..t prospect of as change within the next 24 hours, her Majesty has been p:eased to command that the ceremony of laying the first stone of the Well ington College, and the military review, which were to have taken place to-morrow (Saturday), the 31 inst., be postponed until a day, hereafter to be is arced, in the first week in June. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.---A singular accident happened to the Simla steamer, which went t. the naval review last week. As she passed the station of the middle buoy in the Solent the buoy was found to be mis,ing. The Simla arrived off Southampton without anything appa rently the matter with her; but while at anchor she did not swing with the tide. Soundings were made, and it was found there was plenty of water to enable her to giving. A diver was sent down to examine her, when he found the chain of the middle buoy coiled round her screw. She is unable to proceed to the Crimea until she is docked in consequence of this accident. THE FRENCH OFFICERS AND THE NAVAL REVIEW.— Her Majesty's ship Porcupine, Lieutenant Commander G. M. Balfour, was placed by the Government at the disposal of th e French Admiral during his stay at Ports mouth. After taking the Adinirai from the French corvette to the royal yacht, she carried during the whole of the review the officers whom the Einp,rir of the French had deputed to repre3ent him. The P^rcupine kept close to the Victoria and Albert. Our eallant allies expressed themselves highly gratified with the grandeur of the spectacle and the excellent arrangements on board, which enabled them so well to appreciate it. rim SUN, LOMDCEN9 P 11113401 XVINNII46 .

Mr. Assists., t-Comniiisa,ry General Crookshank asked the Board to call upon the Adjutant-General or the Qoaiterrnaiter-General to produce Lord _Raglan's letter, containing an expression of hii lordship's disapprobatio n cf that conduct for which he ('Jr. Crookshank) Wa g/ placsd under arrest by Lord Lucan. The Judge-Advocate-General asked Mr. Crookshank to state in which department he expected the letter could be found. Mr. Crooksi;ank said he did nut believe such &letter was in existence. Lord Luella had expressed a belief that it wa., and he (Mr. Crooksbank) wished it to be produced if it were in existence. The correspondence connection with his arr es t p asse d b e t ween Lord VV• Panlett and Mr. Fader. The Court nave no intimation of their intention 0 comply with Mr. Crookshank's request. Sir R. Airey was called on to resume his statement, but before doing so asked Colonel Tulloch if the notes of the evidence of Colonel Wetherall, handed into the board in accordance with his (Sir R Airey's) reques t, were the original notes of the evidence given by the gallant colonel before the commander in the Crimea ? Colonel Tulloch said he believed they were. The ef t dence was taken by hi m , an d was i u hi s o wn ha" writing. Colonel Wetherall's evidence was mixed uP with that of Colonel Gordon's; and when the evidence was sent to the latter for correction, he re-wrote it, sending back only the copy. Sir R. Airey—Where are the original minutes ? Colonel Tulloch—Colonei Gordon has got them. Colonel Gordon sail he had never had any other do• current in his possession than that now produced. Tho Judge-Ad voco.te General—General Airey wants the original minutes t a k en by th e C omman d e r in t"" Crimea. Colonel Tulloch said be could not sea why this cation was persisted in. Colonel Wetherall and Colonel Gordon could both bs called and could state if there w as anything wrong in their evidence. He would wa ke search for them, but his belief was that there were 130 0 others in existence but those produced. Gen. Airey—The object I have in asking for the pro' duction will appear hereafter. In reply to a que,tion from the Judge-Advocate-Gen e, ral,' Gan. Airey said it was difficult to point out the pc ticular passages in the report to which he objecte d ' from their being mixed up with passages which we re unobj,ctioeable.
