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 a: 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 ia 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 Coffipany, with reference to the site in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the House of Ciunmcni. An instalment of 21. per share is required to obtain com plete registration with limited liabi ity; but should that or the site not be obtained the deposit will be returned to the Shareholders, le-s a sum not exceeding 3s. per share on ac count of expenses . Applications for Shares may be male in the annexed form, addressed to the Brokers, Vessra. 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 Comp any . ' This Deposit will be carried to the credit of the instalment of 21. per Share payable after allotment, and will be repaid in the event of the application not being acceded to ; and no further call will be made until the agreements for the purchase of the site have been settled. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained of the Brokers or the Secretary. H. DAVIDSON, Secretary.

SCOTTISH WIDOWS' 11 1 U,Nli LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Fnum'ed A D. 1815. HEAD OFFICE --No. 5, St. .-tudrevv-square, Edinburgh The Assured or Members are the only arties interested in the Funds of this Institution, which now amounts to uuwards of THREE MILLIONS STERLING. The Society's claims to public confidence and sapped arc grounded mainly on the sound and equitaWe principles of its constitution, and im the care and success with which its operations have been con ducLed from their co -amenceinent up to the present time. While the Premiums are not hither than those require i by many other Offices, the Society does not pretend to compete with those which bold out the attractions of cheap rates, whether as being the lowest which are compatible with safety, or as being based on what is termed the " HALF-CREDIT SYSTEM." There being no Proprietary, however, those of the Assured who by the terms of their policies are entitled to participate in the Profits of tbe•SoeletV, are the only parties who derive benefit from the rates being* more than what are found from time to time to be required to meet the a , itual risks; and the result of past allecations of Surplus P , /At, 'has been such that in the ease of all the earlier Policies, which have become claims within the last few years, the amount, pail to thy representatives of deceased Members have been MORE THAN DOUBLE THE SUMS ORIGINALLY ASSURED. In eases where family provision is the s , 6# object this result cannot fall to be considered as of the most satistactorY nature ; while in other instance--, where the part:es are desirous securing benefit from the Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the Bonus to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death, the alternatives practicable under the laws of the office ha. e been com mensurate in degree. In many cases, in consideration of an aban donment of the reversionary clai r s or Bonus Adillams ahead , de clared, such parties have either re , eived lure; payments in PRESENT CASH, or have been LONG AGO , NTIRELY BELIEVED FROM FURTHER PAYMENT OF PREMIUM, the Policies still remaining ent tied to pariici pate in future allocations of the profits. _ _ Illustrations of the ,olication of BantlS on either of the footings above referrel to are co', tuned in the Society's Prospectuses, which, together with Forms o; Propot;al, Ste , may be had on application at the Head Office. or to any of the Agents in tlr three Kingdom..

In such a controversy hp had no disposition to engage ; it was, however, his duty to defend his constituents against -ilograve and seri mist' Charges brought against them. He then pro 7 ceeiled to consider the constitutiMal 'aspect. of the slavery question, contending that .the power of C ngress to make all needful rules and regulations in reori to the'territories and other- property of the United States- extends to the public domain on'y; "and not to the domeStic affairs or institutions of the territory.'

On the motion 'of Mr. Humphrey Marshall, the Committee on Foreign Affairs was instructed to in quire into the expediency of de3laring the 'engage ment Of American vessels in the Chinese coolie trade to be illegal and A. sufficient cause of forfeiture to the ca.ptors of the ship engaged therein. It was resolved on this subject, on the motion of Mr 'Pringle, bf New York, that the President be requested to communicate what information he may possess in regard to citizens of the United States being engaged in the slave trade or the transporta tion in American ships of coolies from China to Cuba- and other countries with the intention of placing or continuing them in a state of slavery or servitude, and whether such traffic is not, in hiA 'opinion, a 'violation of the spirit of existing treaties, rendering theiie engaged in it liable to indictment. for piracy, and espeJially that he be requested to communicate to the House the facts and circum stances attending the shipment from China of some 50) coolies in the Sea Witch, of New York, aves sel lately wrecked on the coast of Cuba. • The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says :—" I understand that the English and French Ministers declare that troops will 'be landed frpin tiv,ir respective squadrons off Central America to aid Costa Ri ot against General Walker.

The first annual meeting of the sharsholder3 in this company took place nn Saturday at the King's .A.rn-s, New Palace-yard, Westminster; R. A. &alley, E N ., i n the chi.r.- Mr. W. ELLIS, the sicretary, read the report, At hich stated that 3,094 shares having been paid upon, the com plete, registration of the company with limited liability had been certified, and her Maj Isty ha'l graciously given permission to adopt the present title of the company. The deed of settlement was signed by 123 shareholders, representing 3,023 shares, and there were 12 share holders, representing 71 shares, who had n o t yet s i gned the deed. The building, under the superintendence of Mr. Horace Jones, the architect, was almost ready to receive the roof ; the gardens hal been tliormghly drained, and the entire grounds had Evsurned a new a improved aspect. The entire preparat:on4 had been nuclei taken by Mr. Damson, whilst the nurieal director, M..ms. Julien, was now on the Continent making arrangements for the coming season. The committee hieieved that the amount of capital contemplated in the ptosuectus would be sufficient, whilst the profits which had been eaten iated to accrue were less than might really be reckoned upon. The report having been adopt,,clt The CHAIRMAN said that wheni Parliament be had nrecired the app=ointment of a ominittee of pubic w(.rks end gardens, and from this c nunittee suggestions had emanated for obtaining VictOria-park, Primrose hill, and other places for the recreation of the people. The great increase of population iii the metropolis and in the large towns called for additional means of amuse ment and healthy recreation, and he therefore had great pleasure in giving his assistance to this undertaking, which he had no doubt would prove - beneficial to the Public and profitable to the shareholders. He thought, however, that it would be desirable to appropriate ene day in the week to the admission of the working classes at a reduced charge. The Chairman and Sir Henry Webb, Bart., were ap pointed trustees of the company. The committee of ma eagement were elected directors for the ensuing, year,„ and.a call-was ma4o{ - ,4/. per share, payablic:l3sl.the 4 . 111 , of May. This was unanimously agreed to" by the share holders present; and thanks having - been - voted - to the ~c ommittee of management andto the chairman, the business terminated. (Froin'th,e Times of this day.) The..-Treasury 'Presents` its Estimates to the House of Commons as a small tradeSman presents his little bills. In a country towna good'customer aievei knows what he has, to pay ; there is- always . squaething.'ailditional. The - account once opened, it becomes a sort of wound which it would be to close ' the door once op e n e d td t h e v ill age carnenter'brbuilder, he haunts the house for ever, like a rat or a ghost ; your- morning slumbers are disturbed by, the noise of falling tiles, and you vat: your dinrier to the sound of eternal hammering: The job is always half-done and when in a fit .of disgust you tell ,John to get that man's bill and. dismiss him, lie can't get it, and he •can't dismiss him'; the roan has something still on band, and before: he nialte§ up his account he has to wait for the account of some other man, of name unknown, whom he employed in some incomprehensible work of detail—a lock or a pipe,, or nobody knows what: So it fared wirh the celebrAed Mr. Briggs, and so it happens to the House of Co7mnons. 'There is DO end to the bill, an d th e h ouse th a t vo t es mil lions upon Millions without a grudge is asked for a few thousands more, in the same. peddling spirit with wh'cli a petty tradesman, whose yearly bill has jut >en paid in full, as WAR fondly imagined, bothers one about as. 641. for extra work.... There . .was. a. -good deal of' confusion in the Ditimates, as we have gone over them alrealy, but we were not prepared.for the further cl,n fusion in the series . of Estinitv es,No. VII., which aredeviatedto "Mix cellaneous, Special, and Temporary Objects," ano are to come before the house to-night. Frain these-- it would appear that the public accounts are like: a lady's letter—a series of postscripts stretch ing to infinity, small by degrees and beautifully lesS. It was bad enough that we should have the Pont:office accounts mixed up -in three different series of et4n,rotes—first of all in those of the it've nue dep:irtuients, then in those of the navy, lastly, in those of the public dep,rtments generally ; -and perhaps. our readers will nut be able to comprehend by what strange process these accountssliould come to 'be so divided. It must therefore be explaiped that in the first vote we have an estimate fur the working of the Post-office, in the seiaand an esti mate for the packet service, wile in the third we have a separate estimate of .the sum required for the postages of . the navy and other public depart ments. There is something in this last item that shows a genius tor confusion in the Treasury, the cost of postage for the navy, being charged neither to the debit of the Admiralty nor to the credit of the Post-office, but to a third account, called " General Expenses." And then there is a fourth account still required for the superannuation al lowanees of the Post-office, while in the report of the Postmaster-General and in the, accounts of public income we have a fifth statement of postal returns. All this, is very absurd, and the worst of it is that the same vicious system pervades all the Esti mates. If we take up any one item it random, it is impossible to state what is the total sum which is devoted to it, and in how many different papers it is stated. The army.ata navy medals, for example —who shall compare the Estimates of last year with those of the present year, and tell whether we shall discover the final vote for it under the head of the Army or of the Navy, of the Mint, or of the "Temporary Objects" which have given •rise to these remarks ?.• . . The sum which is demanded in these Estimates amounts to 450,0001. The various charges that go to make up this total are paltry enough,: but the more' trifling these charges are the greater right have we , to co mpl a i n th a t they were not included in the origual accounts. They are the last feathers that break the public patience; they illustrate a system which, when it comes to these details, is too ridiculous and too troublesome to be borne. Here, for instance, are a number of votes asked for rati ons commissions—for St,tute Law, for Common Law, for Chancery, for County Courts, forCivilSer vice, for Lunacy in Scotland, for Endowed Schools in Irelat.d. Common sense surely requires that the expenses of these 's,)minissions should be classed under the exp :us us of the Public Departments, and the EndowedSchoon Commission under the E 'met catioual grant. Who can tell us what is voted ' annually for Education and Science ? We have just mentioned one item ; there is a further su , n in the present estititatee-for Professors at Cimbridge t in the Army Estimates we heir of so much for Wool wich, in the Navy Estimates of so much for the Greenwich Observatory, and so on, a few poun-ls here and. a few poutuls there. ILre, ag an, we are asked fur 5001. fur Via Lunacy Gmninission in Scot lend ; in the Esti:nat s No. I[., .for the " Public Departments," 1,3101, is asked for the ‘• contingent expenses of the dornini-sioners in Lunacy," and ten times that sum is pail, besides, out of the Con. solidate I Fond. Is it monstrows to expect that all these sums should be classed tog.Aher, and that we should know at once what' is required under any one 1103.41 of service? Here, ton, we nave sums d T ;mantled for - Battersea Park, for Chelsea embankment, for Windsor improvements, for Embassy-houses, for Consulate buildings, for Ughthouses, for the Irish National Gallery. It is,difficult to understand why these votes are not classed under the heal of " Public Works," or something else more appro priate than the stupid heading .of • Tempotary Objects." For the police at Ahlershott 7,500/. is wilted ; why.wais not this asked under the head either of " Police" or of the "Army?" It will be observed-that we 01 - tiect principally to the l man-I. ner of Stating - the accounts, but we have equally gond grounds for objecting to some of the charges themselves. What, for instance, is the meaning of this 7,5001. for the police at Aldershott ? Cannot the soldiers he made to take care of themselves ? The heroes of discipline, the creatures of drill, re quire a .lot of policemen to keep them in order ! It is a specimen of how all our public departments are managed, not one of them being self-sufficient, but every one requiring to be patched up by auxi , Nary departments and reported upon by extempore commissions. Throughout these Estimates we find the same absurd want of unity, and the same Wasteful expenditure. Under the Patent Law 'Amendment Act, it is stated that 8,400/. is re quired for "fees to law officers of the Crown in England." The sum is enormous, and, .even were it reasonable, it surely belongs to a different page of the national ledger. It will be further found that under the same act 4,5221. is to-be voted for " compensations." The Patent Clerk to the At torney and Solicitor-General gets wade:- this head sum greater than the half-pay of an Admi ral, double that of the general clerk of the Eucum bered Estates Commission, and equal to the com pensation allowed to the Lord-Advocate for Scot land. The Attorney-General and Solicitor-Gene ral for Ireland get - between them 2,0001., and we are puzzled to knew why these gentlemen, together with the Lord-Advocate, should not receive suffi cient salaries, stated once for all, and whether these "compensations" are to be continued to the subsequent holders of their offices? We are very sure that the public will not long endure to have its financial - statements in 'mit inextricable confusion. It would be a disgrace to the petty tradesman who,e transactions seldom get beyond. the column of shillings, or to the publican • who chronicles small beer in chalk on the back of a.shutter,. if his accounts were thus involved in con fusion. It is not simply a disgrace—it is criminal. that in the first mercantile country in the world the accounts of a Government which expends nearly 100,000,4 M/. a-year—a sum - easily written irk figtints, bit which no imagination can grasp— should he kept in such a manner as to make it im passible to ditteover what is our expenditure, and to e*Pose the country most certainly . to. all the evils ofjohb::ry and peculation. (Prom the Morning Advertiser of this day.) The month of May, the chosen season of sonnets and lioft vows, being at hand, this country, yet shaking from: the rude blasts of war, is to be treated with.l , e'iolding a wooing in high places. The old walls of Windsor are to witness a gay betrothal. A young Prince, of tht; " chivalrous and most consti• tutional dynasty of Hohenzollern," comes a-clurt ing the Princess Royal of England. How full of joy to overflowing must be the heart of every Englishman on this auspicious occasion 1 Who more welcome to Great Britain, in the interesting character of a suitor, than the youthful nephew of sn trusty and well-beloved an Ally as the renowned King Cliquot ! The delightful possibility, especi ally—the thought, enchanting for a patriot, that through this intended marriage, the sceptre of Great Britain might, perchance, on some future day,.pass into the hands of a Hohenzollern —this idea is so overwhelming that we may well be ex. cused 7 i.f.; in the fulness of our feelings oh thisAsub ject, we are enabled to set forth, in proper terms, the claims the Prussian Prince has to our esteem and 'admiration: -• • . - His claims, in fact, are of the Meal 'varrona -and . the choiCest description. Whether we look to the satisfactory political ConditiOn of the kingdoni this young Prince expects hereafter to rule ; or whether • we consider the principles of Liberalism is; which he .was:edncated by his father ; whether we regard the ideas of constitutional freedom he has imbibed from the . courtly entourage at Berlin ; .or whether. we contemplate his intimate relations with the im perial UmilY of the meek and much-abused empire of Russia—in all and every, respect this princely Suitor must recommend himself highly to the affec tion and syinpathies of the people of England. Indeed, look at , the honours and noble-properties he inherits. . Is he not the eon. of..hini whom the people of Genitally have designated the "Grape shot Prince ?" • Look, again, at the principles, moral and political, that have been instilled into him. He has been duly ;tutored by a monarchic Cate rills, which inscribes massacre, , espionage, ' theft of public dricuthents; unfair duelling, and other "noblo acconiplishments,":in .the decalogue of her morality. Regard the constitutional school in which lie was reared. He comes from a Court whose ruling principle has been a series of coup d'etats. Look at the . astounding popularity of th e dynasty he represents. He belongs Co a royal family whose sovereign heal, as well as his own father, ,have thrice, within a few years, had narrow escapes from.the retributive bullet. Look at the dynas t c he offers to. his bride. • He is the eventual heir to a kingdom, the population of which can only he kept dOwu by the bayonet, by strangling the Press, and by the iron gripe of the police.

Scarcely hati he attained the age of eighteen when in the train,of his father s in the south-west of Germany,, he ha I. t ► feed 'fits eyes on the spectacle of fusillades, floggings, and imprisonments, by which the flower of German democracy was decimated and. tortured. Lastly, look at the friendships this same young Prince cul tivates at the present moment, and to the military rank he occupies in a country neighbouring to his own. We 1, thebti:n Icy lie most delight.: in is that df the young Grand Dukes of the Muscovite Court; and among his military title's is that of " Colonel of the Bth Regiment of Russian Hu , sars !" Such are the promising circumstances connected with the character, position, and prospects of our expected guest. And with these unrolled before us, can there be a doubt of the advantages that would accrue to this country by being united to the noble house of Hohenzollern, through the ties of matrimonial contrac t, and the law of inheritance ! Can there be a q testion whether Frederick Wil liam Nicholas ought, or ought not, to be received with open arms.to the hearthstone of an English Palace ? Wl . y, through the projected alliance with a Prince of the Court 'of Berlin, Great Britain would again become re-linked to the Coum of St. Petersburg. The holy alliance of despots, momen tarily broken through by the late war, would thus be re-established in a wanner most firm and durable by these marital means. Are we -not, then, to congratulate ourselves on this new guarantee for our cherished "free institutions ?" Are we not to rejoice that Frederick William IV., and Alex ander If., assisted by Leopold of Belgium, will make up, henceforth, a choice of advisers and Crown councillors for the Government of the British Isles ? But enough of this. Let us now address a word in earnest to those with whom the fate of the Prin cess Royal will depend. The Royal child—for such she still is, though the duties of the woman are already to 'be imposed upon her—is, no doubt, little aware what desti.ry may await her when mounting, if she ever does, that throne of Prussia, whose rotteuxess is now unseen by her infantile eyes. Tile Royal Princess can scarcely he supposed to understand what feelings animate the people who are, even now perhaps, pointed out to her as her future su'ijects. The life of the daughter of Queen Victoria has hitherto passed along in a placid stream of security and ease. Nothing knows she of the Revolutionary storms that shook the Prus sian throne—nothing f the ghastly scenes of March, 1848, when th• King, with uncovered head, was conipelle4 by the people to do penance before the corpses of his sill jects that he had slaughtered, whilst a Queen of Prussia lay swooning in terror, only to awaken to tears an•l lamentations. Tile ' Princess Royal kn )ws notliins,. of the hideous sacres performed by .he fa , her of her expected' Itusletnil,—uothing of the consequent conspiracies against the hate.il H'llso Of H of the Republican sentiments that have destroyed or undermined the bigot. loyalty of populations, once the most obedient in all Germany. Under these circumstances, we ask—ls it in con formity with national policy thus to embark the daughter of Queen Victoria in the frail vessel of the Prussian dynasty, and to trust her to a sea, which, however apparently calm at present, may any moment be lashed to fury 1 y the storm of popular indignation ?"- I- it . • possible that, to suit certain poll i,:al schemes, the innocent and amiable Prinees4 R .yal should he offered up a sacrifice to kingly statecraft ? We fear greatly it will be so ; for, all the minutiae of the marri.ige appear already arranged and pre concertet At Berlin, at least, we are told, the young Prince has astred permission from his Royal uncle to proceed on his - wooing errand to the Eng lish shores ; and Frederick William IV., it is re port° I, has granted his consent in a solemn cere monial, being surrounded by his whole Court asset bled for the purpose in the Palace. Thus, it seem, this matritnonial union may be almost considere as an accomplished fact. In the meanwhile, a invisible hand is writing on the Palace-walls of Berlin the doom of the h muse of Hohenzollern and perhaps hut few years may pass over before the Mene . Tekel will receive its terrible fulfilmen4 (From the Morning Herald of this day.) The naval review at Spithead, on Wednesday, next, will be an event rematkable in the annals (3.+, naval displays. We are not surprised that it shook challenge sa much interest ; that Lords and Com• mons vie f tr the means of bing present at it, will an anxiety and emulation appareu tly proportionatd to the show itself, although foreign to our national gravity.

Then Jack, with his imperturbable smile and his perturbable quid, will be more looked up to for ad vice and. consolation than the leaders of the Trea sury or opposition benches ; and the wheel which turns others down will turn him up. But a truce to these reflections ; they will undoubtedly occur to those of our readers whose lot it may be to wit ness this imposing spectacle, if they have not oc curred already. The chance of seeing for once in their lives—for once, as never such an occasion may happen again in • this generation—the means which this country commands for a naval war, will un questionably allure every one who can by force, favour, importunity, or pay, steal a sight from Spithead. Sir Charles Wood stated that from members of the House of Commons alone and from those who had some claim upon the Admiralty app} plications had been made in such numbers„ . he doubted whether the whole of the unemployed ships.in her .Majesty's navy would .suffice for their gocomiterd4tioa. If the sight-s'eaing tiropetisities'of Cabinet Ministers, grave Peers, learnedsenators, and all the assembled staidness and sobriety of England have been thus quickened at the pro ! Knot, That may be expected from trailer mortality, to whom these very sight-seers tbk the Q.lepp,_ the Court, and the notables—Pare rst traction enough, without the accessory of the re. view It befitted the glory of Solomon to pre:lch against vanity ; but it would require many Sqlo monsio preach down this. Henceforth, theref Ore, we shall expect to hear less clever and sharp witti cisms against those sights and those .sigiit-seera whose supporters numbered among the less in tellectual and tl as dignified ranks of dur coun. trymen. The cumm Lod-piA amusements :of th• town may now challenge more indulgence, when Lords and Commons ask for a holiday to go'out to gaze upon a pageantry with all the eagerness o choolboys. We do not condemn them ; far from it—the oc casion is worthy much cariosity ; and we would be well content if a far greater number of our country men, or indeed half the world, could take a holiday for such an occasion, and be present at thespectacle. A well-appointed army is no wean indication of the civilisation, the resources, the power of a ,nation. But a navy is more ;—for, as the mastery of the sea longer in acquiring, and lean epitome of empire when acquired, so a great and compact navy actually afloat is the long result of indomitable perseverance, prudence; and energy, and is an epitome of all the mechanical skill, the science, the artificial tend na tural wealth of a people. It is that 'which gold cannot buy ; it cannot be created at the nod of the most powerful despot, it is not a matter of three, six, or nine months' training ; it cannot be levied by conscription • it cannot start into being at th e bidding of the most consummate genius, or under the immediate agencyif the most unlimited means. Such a fleet as will be gathered together at Spit-- head on Wednesday next, so built, so appointed, and so manned, 'would require more than a gene ration to replace, if it were sunk beneath the sea, and more than many generations in any other quarter of the world. - Many will treat this assertion as an exaggera tion, we doubt not ; many who haVe been accus tomed to witness the extraordinary mechanical contrivances of the present day, and to believe that everything is possible to human industry, will re gard this remark with a smile of incredulity. They will appeal to our dockyards and our railways, and to those immense material results of human skill and invention which rise up with such extrnOrdi. nary rapidity around ult.- But ipetween tho screw,; timber, and cordage which go to the formation of a navy, between the mere ships and all that ig re quired to the due and perfect control, use, awl manning of them—and not less the very spirit that seems to stir and breathe in them—vast is the dif- ference. The very traditions of a navy, the seope and elbow room which it has enjoyed for years—the defiant.air with which it has trod the deep —never vailing its flag to any one ;—all these are essential to its and character as they are; invaluable—as they are untransferable. As weal might Messrs. Giissell and Peto, backed by 7 a . hundred banking houses, build up Oxford or Cam_ bridge in Gower-street or Homerton, and fancy the copies were like the originals, or his Holiness the Pope set up the old consular dignity at Rome, and delude him - self into a belief in his experiment, as, any nation, any potentate, suppose that he cbulA create a navy at his own bidding ; build the ships he may, catch the crews, apply all the help of modern skill and practice ; .but to possess such a navy as England now possesses, much more than all this is.required. - That thing is not to be done—at least in summer's day. No; not by the stoutest or the strongest, the most audacious or the most ambi tious. The world has seen the greatest plans for territorial empiresuccessfully laid by the shrewdest genius of the 17th century it has seen the most mighty and disciplined armies, headed by generals of the most consummate skill, set on foot by Louis XIV. ; it has seen a later attempt, when Napoleon 1., out of the Sans-culottism of Paris and the pro . vinces, raised from year to year ve terans—heroes—the very marrow of soldiers, without a parallel, except in those of Hanni- bal. But a navy raised by one man, whatever his skill, wealth, power, or activity, it has never seen—and it never will. Yet the trial hag, been made more than once ; it was made by Riche;. lieu; it was tried by Louis XIV. ; Napoleon, more sagacious than either, gave up the attempt, for be knew well that the excellence and strength of a navy did not depend only (iu the outward material of which it is composed. - He knew that even by laud money is not the sinews of war, as is trivially said, when the sinews of men's hearts and arms are wanting ; still more by sea, where the mere per sonal braver) of man against man, though indis pensable to victory, is, perhaps, one of the smallest of the items in the sum total of Such a review, then, as this at Spithead is some thing more than a pageant ; it is an epitome of our history, of our power, our wealth, and our indus try as a nation. So will it be regarded, if not .by Engtishmen, by many a foreigner who will be pre sent. They may, and they_ will, speculate on the means and causes which brought into existence so great and so unmatchable an instrument for de struction. They may also—we hope they will— reflect that, whilst thus having a giant's strength, we have neither the intention nor the will "to use it as a giant" unless compelled to it. NO MORE aiIIIIIISSIo\S Iv THE ARMY WITHOUT PURCHASE. The following is the letter which is now addressed to candiJates for commissions. It renders the pros- pect of those who expect to go in without purchase quite hopeless : "Horse Gnarls, April 16. " Sir, —I am directed by the General Cominandirg•in- Chief to desire that you report yourself at the office of the G .vernor of the Royal Military College at Sandhurst at 10 o'clock on the mornirg of the 22,1 inst., for the purpose of undergoing a further examination in Latin or French arid algebra. You are, however, distinctly to understand that, in the event of your passing satisfac torily, that circumstance will give you no claim to he anpcinted to a commission before it may come to your turn in reference to your standing with other candi dates on. the list ; but the General ComrnandingireChief will be happy to bring you forward if you can pur chase, when ho can do so consistently with his other en gagements. " You are required to produce to the College autho rities a certificate of confirmation, and his lordship deems it highly expedient that you should also take %lib you the ' memorandum' or paper of instruction which was issued to guide you in your studies, in order that if any question should arise as to the course in which you are to be examined, the professors may, upon reference to the paper, be able at once to decide the point.

BUTTER ADULTERATED WITH FLINT STONE.—Astound ing as Vie anuouoceinent at the heading of this paragrapk is, it is neve' th. Las true. Butter is aculterated with flint sti e.. This hearties, and wick.d fraud is especially prac tied iu the low kinds of butter usually sold in large mann factoring towns to the poorer and industrious population The flint stones are ground and then chemicatly manipu lated, until they are reduced int-) a soluble substance, which is known by the denomination of "soluble silica?, When this latter preptraticn is dissolved in water it be comes a stiff gelatinous body, somewhat resembling strop jelly. This oily is mixed to a considerable extent with butter of low quality, to which fresh salt and colouring matter are added. The product of this villmious adults ration is a compound which resembles a very good looking dairy-made butter. But it has not the firmness or bright appearance of genuine butter, and is devoid of the richness and wholesome qualities of the latter. W e have seen this gross adulteration at the laboratories of the Northern Analytical College, Sheffield, and we are credibly informed that Professor Calvert, of Manches ter, has detected this fraud recently and frequently. Such is one phase of the adulterating system. It is a near approach to, if not a verification of the poor man "asking for bread, and having ,a stone given to him." If such unprincipled s ophistications are not soon done away with by stringent laws and public condemnation, it will end in our better halves treating ourselves and friends with luxurious gastronomic entertainment% in which flint stones, lime, sloe leaves, and sand will form the chief ingredients of the family spread ; and we shall , be enabled to ask our particular friends to. come and take a cup of sloe tea, with a little "toast and flint," and diarrhoea included.
