WIND, N.N.W.—Fresb. with dull, cold weather. Yesterday was the worst day we ever remember in May, 4:4)t LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1856. A statement has recently been published, under the hand of Lord PANMURE, showing the amounts of the original estimate and of the reduced esti mate, the sums already voted, and the sums re maining to b© voted, on account of the Army Estimates for the year ending the 31st March, 1857. Without entering into the particular items, it is sufficient for our present purpose to state that the original estimate amounted in the whole to 34,998,5041., and the reduced estimate to 20,747,5741., showing a saving in 'this single de partment of 14,250,9301. sterling. Fourteen millions and a quarter ! Much may be effected with this enormous amount. And it, is desirable to consider in what mode it may be applied most conducive to the welfare and prosperity of the entire community at large. Fourteen millions and a quarter ! The sum is suggestive. It recalls to our memories a very important item in the weekly accounts of the Bank of England. It indicates the value of the notes which " the Old Lady" is permitted to issue against Government Securities, and the payment whereof is a condition precedent to the abrogation of the Bank Charter. If these fourteen millions were satisfied there would be comparatively but little difficulty in the final arrangement of the all important question. The providing means for paying off the debt has been the chief obstacle to a settlement. It has been a millstone about the neck of successive Financial Ministers, and the present Chancellor of the Exchequer has scarcely the energy to grapple with the diffi culty. But here are the means at once pro vided. The saving on a single item of ex penditure gives a quarter of a million more than is'required to effect this great desideratum, and to free the British Government from the shame of being perpetually begging from a private cor poration for assistance but too frequently reluc tantly doled forth. Of this sum 11,150,0001. is in the nature of a permanent advance, bearing interest after the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, but of which in terest more than half (180,0001.) is relinquished in consideration of the exclusive privileges en joyed by the Bank, that is to say of issuing notes payable on demand in London, or within 65 miles thereof, and that its notes are made legal tenders, except at the Bank itself and its branches, and exemption from stamp duties upon its notes. These are the avowed equivalents for the virtual monopoly, but there are others of even greater consequence, amongst which may be included the prohibition of all notes for less than 51., and of the extension of the issues of any old Banks, or of any new Banks whatsoever, no matter how unquestionable their solvency or ample the secu rity offered to the public for the redemption of the notes on demand. It is needless to expatiate ou the vast import ance to the nation of obtaini n g a perfect " free trade irk money," an d removing' every restriction on banking operations eithe r in town or country. It would be well worth not only the 180,0001. paid, but even ten times the amount ; and we believe that there is no person who has studied, and thoroughly understands, the question, who would not consider its relinquishment a cheap priee for the independence of the country, and even of the Bank itself—and believe that they would be mutually beuefitted by the change. We find other great Joint-Stock Banks realising larger profits and offering better dividends to their shareholders than the Leviathan, and we have little doubt that with unrestricted competition and better management, which would speedily follow the alteration, the proprietors of Bank Stock themselves would reap considerable benefit from the separation of Bank and State. But it is' the interest of the community at large that we are chiefly bound to look to, a n d there can be but little doubt how greatly that would be promoted by attracting new capital into banking operations. The establishment of a really National Bank, issuing notes of 1/., 2(., and 3/., secured on all the property and industry of the country, and receivable in payment of taxes, would be of inestimable advantage to the trade and commerce of the coun tY. It would liberate at least 30,000,000/. of gold now circulating from hand to hand, and dis charging functions which would be far better per formed by small notes. This would be just as advantageous as if a gold mine were discovered in the centre of England, and three hundred tons of pure and unalloyed gold extracted without ex pense or delay. The wear and tear would be saved, and the interest would go to the benefit of, and realise a handsome profit for, the Exchequer —a profit which would authorise either the abo lition or reduction of some of our most vexatious and onerous imposts. We are by no means advocates for paying off old debts at a time when the taxpayers are ex hausted by the enormous burdens they have had to sustain. In any other cause, we should offer an earnest protest against a course which would re-open the painful feelings occasioned by the GLADSTONE abortion. It would unquestionably be far better to create a new 3 per Cent. Stock for the amount due to the Bank. This could not be called an additional debt. It would be merely a transfer from one party to many others, and would be beneficial, as creating a greater diffusion of wealth, and leaving to the Bank a much larger amount available for its legitimate operations. It would also be equivalent to the creation of so much new banking capital for the use of the industrious population of the country, and of the mercantile and manufacturing in terests. The Bank would, however, most probably invest a considerable portion of what it was to receive, in the new loan on the same terms as the rest of the community. We have, therefore, alluded to the fourteen and a quarter millions saved on the army esti mates to prevent the Chancellor of the Exchequer from resorting to an excuse of which he might otherwise avail himself. If he shrinks from a loan to pay off the Bank, there is the money ready to his hand, and to what better use can it be applied than that above indicated ? which would liberate the Bank and the Exchequer from bonds mutually in j urious. To one sentence in Mr. M. GIBSON'S Peace Society Speech on Tuesday night we can heartily subseribe. The hon. member observed, that " the whole debate appeared to him to be of no practical utility, because the treaty had been rati fied and could not be altered ;—and it appeared to him that it would be sufficient to thank her Majesty for having ordered it to be presented to Parliament, and for having allowed it to appear in the Gazette." The Three Nights' Debates of the two Houses of Parliament unquestionably resolved themselves into little more than an orderly chat of a considerable number of educated gentlemen over a document of which they could not modify a syllable. More or less interesting it might be to hear what some score of sensible persons would say on the subject, but it had been the subject of discussion with all sens ible persons all the kingdom over, perhaps of many debating clubs also, and all these persons had as much power in the business as her MAJESTY'S faithful Lords and Commons. All subjects of the Crown etood on a perfect level with regard to the Treaty concluded for them by the Crown ; for each and all, Lords and Commons included, were alike powerless. The real favour on the part of the Crown, therefore, was its con descending to tell us what we have no practical business with whatever. The Treaty was the work of the Crown, so far as England was con cerned, a work which it carried on in concert with other Crowns, and in which the grand object ap peared to be to save all Crowns, even th© guilty one, from humiliation, whether nations were humiliated or not. There seemed, indeed, a show of concern about Italian peoples ; but the das tardly innovation of a crusade against the Belgian Press showed that all French Liberalism was di rected to conservation of Crowns. Yet what a humiliation that the EMPEROR of the French should tremble for himself and his infant before the pen of a poor Belgian journalist. It is interesting to think what would have been the result had the Press and Parliament of Eng • land been called on to shara in the ratifi catioh, of the Treaty. If we admit that the pro gress of negotiations in the great cause of Crowns and peoples should be bidden from the latter, yet by what anomaly in a constitutional country is no power over the ratifications reserved to its Houses of Legislature. In America all treaties must be ratified by the Senate ; why not in England ? Why should not Lord CLARENDON have carried on his part, knowing that, if he trimmed or erred in any portion of it, it would be certain of rectifica tion before it could pass. It cannot be alleged that none of the Daspots would treat with us on such a condition ; each one of them has treated with the United States, who insist on it, and fniticl no difficulty in doing Fo. I , : would probably e prevented the greater part of the mischievous omissions and concessions of the Treaty, and of the Protocols. There are few things complained of in either House of Parliament which C mut ORLOFF himself would not rather have yielded than hazarded their becoming occasions of earnest battle in the British Parliament, Hal the final • terms of the Treaty depended upon its sanction s how totally different would have been the character of the late debates. They have been actually little better than mere comments—in the sup posed case they would have had what Mr. GIBSON properly terms " practical utility ;" every speaker would have had an object before hire ; and the despots of Europe would have also had some chance of knowing the mettle of Englishmen. It cannot be doubted that if the Treaty could be supposed to have left Paris in its present form for the sanction of our Parliament, the whole Press of England and the whole House of Commons would have demanded the separation of the English nation from the list of the insolent threateners of the Belgian Press. It would have left Austria, Prussia, and France alone in that species of glory, and probably hare required the insertion of a clause asserting England's deterini nation to vindicate for Belgium what she claims for herself. But more especially, in matters concerning Russia, she would have required that the influence of the gun-boat flotilla and Crimean army should have been greater than the starva tion of the garrison of Kars. Even assuming the " Five Points" for the basis of treaty, Nico laieff, Bessarabia, and Circassia would have been themanaged e very differently. The neutralisation of Sea losE would not have been described by Mr. Gtans as a "series of pit-falls," and a little more effort would have been used to brine. Russia in th e South of Europe nearer to what she was in the time of. PETER the Great. How perfectly easy, for instance, to have said to Russia, "If you do not renounce the right to maintain an arsenal at I\Ticolaieff, or anywhere on any river ;owing into the Black Sea, and do not admit Co] mils to every town—why, there w e are at Kinbo urn and at Kertch, and there we . shall remain ; wo shall hold the keys of your river arsenals till the locks rust in your possession." , In Bessarabia, again, with the fear not only of he Cro wn , at of the people before his eyes, Count ORLoi 7 would have included the cession of Chotym rat} Ler than hazarded the demand that the Dniestq r should be the boundary of Turkey, and would certainly not have dreamed of giving less than oven Austria had asked. Above all, notwithstanding every excuse of the Government, no one dare have presented to an English Parlia ment a Treaty which allowed Russia to rebuild the Circassian forts, or which did not expressly stipu late for the independence of the Circassian terri tory. Lord DERBY would have remembered to some purpose the insolence of Russia in the affair of the Vixen, and absolute freedom of trade with the brave Mountaineers would have been secured by treaty. English electors would never have endured that the noble struggles which they had watched with such interest for years should be unrequited when such an opportunity offered. It would have been demanded that we should be at liberty to sell muskets and ammuni tion to freemen resisting the great subjugator, as well as to the CZAR and his serfs. Mr. GIBSON and Mr. GLADSTONE ought, in con sistency, to raise two issues in Parliament—one, that of secret diplomacy ; the other, that of the Belgian Press. The Peace Party have, we believe, long denounced secret diplomacy. It does not suit the plain common sense of Manchester men that the nation's servants should do its work free from the supervision and control of the nation. On this subject we have the pleasure of agreeing with them. Narrow as their views of foreign policy may be, even Lord JOHN himself would learn useful lessons from them as to the most advantageous mode of conducting actual business. Mr. GLADSTONE exhibited so fully the wantonness of the attack on the Belgian Press, showed by quotations from the laws of that coun try that they were far more stringent than our own, offering every facility for foreign potentates to prosecute any obnoxious journal, that we trust something will be done. The House of Commons, at least, ought to be called on to pass a resolution that, notwithstanding the Protocol to which Lord CLARENDON'S name is attached, this country would not submit to see Belgium coerced into the enactment of laws affecting the liberty of the Press. Or the same sentiment might take the form of an Address to her MAJESTY. Chemists teach us that for the due renovation of the ever-wasting human frame a well-ordered diet is essential; that for the formation of bone, mauscle, &c., food containing each of the various ele ments of our corporal substance must be provided, or serious mischief will ensue. It is on this prin ciple, in accordance with this established fact, provident breeders of poultry supply the prolific lien with cretaceous provender, and, we suppose, Lord M tyors of London Cockney citizens with veritable turtle-soup. Without the one, the breeder would assuredly have cgs without shells, to our discomfort and the deterioration of that popular luxury, egg-broth ; and, without the other, we would have what civic chemists will probably be good enough to tell us—citizens, we suppose, without a due modicum of fat—bare ribbed Cockneys, inclining to "lean and hungry war," and likely t 3 be dissatisfied with a patched up and inglorious peace. What favours this supposition is the well-known tranquilising—we may say sedative—properties of turtle. Taken in civic fashion, that delightful medicament not only qualifies the patient for aldermanic honours —fits him to do his spiriting (that is not the word, let it however pass)—but indisposes him to self-sacrifice and exertion, and shuts his ears against those calls to which less favoured patriots and philanthropists are but too apt to listen. So potent are those properties, that neither port nor sherry, hot and stimulating as they are, de prive it of its virtues ; and it is pleasingly compa tible with rivulets of claret and springs of champagne. On the other hand—fur the matter is not unat- tended with difficulties—wve have to account for the entertainment lass evening of her MAJESTY'S Ministers at the Mansion-house. No good citizen, it is well known, approves of taking his turtle vicariously, or is disposed to encourage its minute subdivision. Why were her MA.JEST'YS Ministers asked to share it ? They are allowed by a generous nation the means to get turtle of their own ; and no earthly reason, at least of which we are cognisant, exists to suppose they are such anchorites as to refuse to avail them selves of them. They are portly in person, sus pected some of them of the gout, and have just concluded an ignominious peace. What claims had they to be invited to a civic feast '? Nobody suspects them of over-sensitiveness to the calls of justice, or of over-promptness to discharge the exactions of high public honour. Their sto lidity is unquestioned and unquestionable. It is recognised at the Land's End ; zt is not denied at the house of John o'Groat. Poland presumes to mourn over it—Hungary to complain of it— Italy to sneer at it—the Colonies to grumble over it—Englishmen to execrate it. They need no LAT TURIN, MAY 6. Count Cavour, in answer to interpellations ad- dressed to him in the Chirnber of Deputies, declared that the negotiations now pending, on the subject of the affairs of Italy, imposed upon him a great reserve. He explained the moral and material advan- Cages arising out of the treaty of peace. The Italian question has been brought before the Con gress, and France and England have frankly adopted the ♦iews of Piedmont. Austria wished to consider it as non avenue, but this was rejected. The Italian question is henceforth an European one. The Minister declared, in conclusion, that the relations between Sardinia and Austria had not improved. The Piedmontese Government placed its whole reliance in the omnipotence of public opinion. BRUSSELS, WEDNESDAY. In the Chambers this day, the Foreign Minis ter, in answering the interpellation on the recent speech of Count Walewski on the press of Belgium, replied that that speech had not been officially communicated. When that communication should take place, the answer would be ready, and would be communicated to all Governments, firmly maintaining the rights of a constitutional and independent country. It was further asked whether any power had asked for any modifica tion of the laws relating to the press in Belgium. The Minister said he would answer with one " Never." The sitting broke up amidst immense cheering and enthusiasm. word—' HAMBURG, WEDNESDAY. An official notice has been received of the imm mediate arrival of an American squadron at the mouth of the Elbe. It is expected to cruise in the waters of the Belt.

The United States' mail steamer Arabia has ar rived with advices from New York to the 26th ult. She has brought $300,268 specie on freight. The Arago, from Southampton, arrived at New York, on the 23d nit. ; tho Arabia, hence, at Bos ton on the 25th ult. ; the French steamer Alma, from Havre, arrived at New York on the 24th ult. In the Senate the $3,000,000 Armament Bill had been twice brought up, and its *further considera tion was postponed. On the 24th ult. a resolution was adopted, call ing on the Secretary of State for information rela tive to the extent to which the transportation of labourers is now being carried on from the conti nent of Asia or any Asiatic islands to America, with other particulars relative to the traffic. On the following day a resolution was agreed to, instructing the committee on judiciary matters to inquire into the expediency of repealing the act of June 3, amending the naturalisation laws of 1813. In the House of Representatives nothing of im portance had transpired. It was generally believed in Washington that there would be no alteration of tariff during the present session of Congress. A letter from Washington, dated April 21, states that Mr. Dallas had written from England to a friend in Pennsylvania, saying that ho does not think it advisable to allow the use of his name as a candidate for the Presidency now that State has expressed in an almost unanimous voice its prefer ence for Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Buchanan had arrived at Philadelphia, where he was welcomed by the firing of a salute, and greeted with enthusiastic cheers from an im mense crowd that had assembled to receive him. At Washington preparations were making for a grand demonstration in his favour. We learn from Toronto that the Hon. Mr. Ross has resigned his seat in the Canadian Cabinet, on the ground that the Ministry had lost the confi dence of the Liberals. Steamers commenced running between Quebec and Montreal. We have later accounts from the West Indies. At Bermuda, on the 15th of April, the crews of her Majesty's ships Argus and Medea were reported free from sickness. had taken place. At Trinidad the weather continued very dry, and sugar-making was proceeding very favourable; but in many cases the canes were said not to be yield ing well. Governor Elliot was recovering from the serious attack of bilious fever under which he had been suffering, and, to promote convalescence, was staying at an island in the G u lf. Havannah advices of the 18th ult. contain no news of importance. Her Majesty's ship Powerful was the only vessel of war in that port. Advices from San Juan of the 16th ult. confirm the defeat of Colonel Schlessinger. He had been tried by court-martial on charges of treason and cowardice. Another battle was reported to have taken place at Arcopaca between a small force of Walker's and 200 Costa Ricans, in which the latter were said to be defeated, w ith a loss of 30 killed. It was also reported that Walker had '7OO men marching to meet the Costa Ricans. A letter from Tampico states that 400 troops would leave that city on the 11th of April for Matamoras. A British brig of war left Tampico on the 10th for Havanna. The Governor of Smyrna has left for Magnesia. The Porte is busily occupied sending troops into Syria to repress the disturbances there. The Circassian Deputies, who attract great at tention, are daily visiting the great dignitaries o. State. French and Sardinian troops are daily passing the Dardanelles, en route for Marseilles and Genoa. Two regiments of English cavalry have em• barked from Scutari on their way home. The 12th Lancers are preparing to return to India, and. will take the horses of a regiment of Hussars with them besides their own. The men of the Hussars are to come home. It is rumoured that SAleh Pacha and his steward are acquitted of the murder of the Greek girl at Varna, and a groom alone found guilty and condemned to death. TURKEY IN ASIA. ERZEROIIM, APRIL 8. The new civil governor, Vedgi Paella, arrived here on the 4th inst. He has the reputation of being a good governor ; but it is understood that he knows how to extort money—as is generally the case with his colleagues. Mijor Peel and Alr.Evans are at 011 i, to acquaint themselves with the position. They aro expected back in a week. Two English surveyors and two corporals are at Devi Boynu, preparing a plan of the strong position. CJlonelOriles keeps close in his house, doing nothing. Whether it be from pride or some other cause, he has not returned the visits of any of the respectable residents who have waited on him, and has intercourse with very few persons here. This exclusiveness makes us feel keenly the loss we have sustained in General Williams. An Aide-de-Camp of the Seraskier, who arrived here three days ago from Constantinople, informs us that the armistice is indefinitively prolonged, and that he considers peace to be certain. Feisullah Paclia, the Veely of Sivas, at one time attache of the Ottoman embassy in London, has been barbarously murdered in his palace, by four of his Georgian slaves. In consequence of ill usage experienced at the hands of their master, they vowed vengeance, and, having put him to death one night in his sl ee p, went straight to his chiaga (secretary), confessed the deed, and surren dered themselves prisoners. The murdered pasha had his peculiarities, but he was not a bad man at bottom. Accounts from Curacloa to the 4th of April re port that a large portion of the Dutch West India fleet had arrived from Venezuela. Mr. Bingham, English Minister residing at Caraccas, was about to attempt a settlement of the Ayes Islands diffi culty, existing between the Dutch and Venezue lan Governments. Our most recent advices from Persia are of the month of March. They state that a portion of the Persian cavalry had occupied Herat, and that the Shah was marching troops and forwarding the material of war in that direction, with a view to invade Candahar. The country between Teheran and Herat is suffering this year from dearth, and it is feared the Persian army will undergo great privations before it reaches its destination. Mr. Murray, with the whole of the mission, left Tabriz on the 11th of March, for Bagdad, via Mosul. An impression prevails that an Anglo- Indian squadron will soon appear at Bushir. The commercial advices from New York report that an active demand for money prevailed, which was readily met, with dealers at 7 to 9 per cent. The stock-market firm during the week, and closed buoyant, State stock and bonds being in good re quest for permanent investment. Sterling exchange closed firm at 91. to 9:? ; bills on Paris were quoted at sf. 171 c. to sf. 164-c. The demand for cotton continued active, but prices remained without change. The advices from the south were considered favourable ; in flour a decline of 371 cents. had been established, in consequence of the depressing nature of the European advices ; wheat had also declined 5c., with a limited demand. Prices for provisions were steady. The market for Scotch pig iron was unsettled, and lower prices had been accepted. English sheet-iron was firmer.. Freights continued dull, and to Great Britain lower rates had been accepted in some instances ; the offerings in all directions were light, and the supply of ton nage increasing. At New Orleans on the 24th ult. the Arabia's news was received. Mi l d n d a l r in k g et c . otton was quoted at 11 cents, with a • reights to Liverpool dull, at 9-32 d. for cotton. THE F.REIVCH ATTACK ON THE BELGIAN PRESS. The Pays contains a violent article against the Belgian press, and, availing itself of Count Walew ski's artful summing of what he said on the subject, in answer to his own carefully-prepared speech in the Congress, dishonestly represents that the Con gress voted a resolution that measures should be taken to put down the liberty (or, as the Pays phrases it, the " excesses of liberty") of the Press in Belgium. Tho plausible pretext put forward for foreign interference with the Belgian Press, is that certain journals in Belgium preach " murder, pillage, and robbery." This, everybody knows, is but a pretext, The real grievance is that facts, which the French Government suppresses by the strong arm of authority at home, are published in the French lan guage across th e frontier. Follow ing up the spirit of Count Walewski's oration, the Pays, after taking credit for the great mode ration and " patience" of the French Government, says, " But when the outrage assumes every day more and more monstrous proportions, the dignity of a government which is by its origin the emana tion and incarnation of the sovereignty of the peo ple, the dignity of the nation impersonated in the chief of the state, might render a more energetic attitude legitimate." Aft er thi s sa li ent sa ll y, the Pays, as if "scared at the sound itself had made," hastens to protest against too large an interpreta tion being given to it s wor d s, an d vows lustily that it only speaks its own personal sentiments. This common form of reserve is too transparent to de. ceive anybody. Every one knows that a French Government journal in these days has no per sonal sentiment whatever beyond the desire to act faithfully up to the instructions of the hour. All this hectoring about independence is simply ridiculous. The attack upon the Belgian press is an essay to put down a free press allover the world. that there was dissatisfaction with the peace, and the fi.eworks in the City, and the civic doctors deeming it politic to administer turtle, thought it but just that the Ministry, who occasioned the necessity, should furnish the excuse for turtle as well as assist at its administration ? We confess ourselves puzzled . ; but even if, as some sa y, th e turtle was meant as a bait for a baronetcy, we shall be delighted to find the precious viand was administered on principle.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 28th ult. states that the project is mooted of converting into permanent fortifications the defensive batteries and field works erected last year on the north side of the capital. The Government has sent officers to Prussia to study the constitution and adminis tration of the army of its neighbour, and to report particularly on the special arms of the service. The Russian Government has ordered the irregular troops in the Crimea to be disbanded. Major Bartolomei has just been appointed attach 6 to the Russian embassy at Constantinople. An official document emanating...from the Rus sian Minister of Commerce gives some details re lative to the celebrated fair of Nijni-Novogorod held in 1855. The war, having shut up a great number of places, caused business to flow towards ,khe market of Nijni-Novogorod, where the total of th 9 transactions amounted to 63,784, T 95 roubles. A quantity of raw cotton, brought from Buckhara and front Persia, figured amongst the merchandise offered for sale, and appears likely to replace Ame rican cotton in the manufactories of the Levant and of new Russia. The value of the te a so ld 5 amounted to ,659,500 roubles ; it was compose of two sorts, that in leaves brought from Kiachta, Sempalathisk, and Tchougoutchi, and that madeup into flat cakes. The merchandise brought from Buckhara and Khiva to the fair of 1855 am ounted to 934,500 r o ubles ; from Persia, Georgia, and Armenia to 1,953,015 roubles. The merchants of Khiva brought 67,000 pouds (the poud is about 33 2 . 31b5.) of raw cotton, and the Persia ns ones nearly 18,500 ponds. The prices obtain e d f or every kind of merchandise were higher than at the preceding fair. THE UNITED STATES' MINISTER. —Mr. Dallas, in a letter just received, says that the subject of the differ ences between England and the United States will be fully discussed in Parliament. He is led to believe that the discussion will not be devoid of acrimony towards tb:'s country, but is prepared to bear it like a philo sop,%er.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Last evening the perform ances at the above th ea t re , cons i s ti ng of "Norma,'' and the last act of " Il Trovatore," were for the benefit of Signor Tamberlik, who made his last appearance in Eng land (previous to his departure for Rio Janeiro) on the present occasion. The celebrated tenor, who was in ex cellent voice, and performed throughout the evening with even more than his usual energy and care, met with constant applause, and of that marked and cordial kind which betokened friendly regard for the man no le , s than admiration for the artist. Signor Tamberlik was rapturously encoredin the Trovvtore's song, with harp accompaniment, which, as everybody k.uowe, he .in k s most delightfully, and at the termination of the perfortn ances received the val e di c tory ovation to which hi s die- tiuguithed merits ao fairly entitled him.

At a meeting of inhabitants of the borough of 3,Tary lebone, held at the Gdoseeurn Hotel, on Monday last, the following resolution was passed : Moved by Mr. BIUNSMEAD, seconded by Mr. D'IF FANCER, and carried with only one disenticnt :—" That this meeting tenders its best thanks to the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P., for the means of recrea tion which he has provided for the inhabitants of the metropolis, by the performance of music by military bands in the parks on the Sunday ; that, as intimation has been given that every exertion will be used to put down this source of enjoyment, it is possible that attempts may be made to create confusion and disorder. The in habitants are therefore requested to join together for the purpose of counteracting any unseemly proceeding , that may be promoted for the object of depriving the inhabi tants of this metropolis of that same enjoyment which is sanctioned by the Sovereign at Windsor, and which is provided in almost all the provincial towns in which regimental bands are stationed. Sir Benjamin Hall has returned the following an swer "Office of Works, &c., May 7. " Sir,--I am directed by S:r B. Hall to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, and to ex press his thanks for the resolution which it conveyed to him. Sir B. Hall has no doubt that the admirabla order which has pervaded all classes on the occasions when the band bas played in Kensington-gardens be equally striking in the Regent's and Victoria Parks, and that the public will thus continue to chow how thoroughly they appreciate the recreation afforded them. The fact Hof 147,352 persons having assembled in Kensington Gardens and the Regent's-park last Sunday is a convinc ing proof that the inhabitants of the metropolis approve the course which he had pursued. " It seems to be implied by your resolution that at tempts will be made to create a disturbance when the band may play. In the event of such circumstances occurring, Sir B. Hall is quite sure that the well-dis posed portion of the community will exert themselves for the purpose of repressing any such unseemly proceed ings.—l have, &c., "Mr. H. Dixon:" " A. D. BERRINGTON. A meeting was held a few days since in tbe Tower Hamlets, when a similar vote of thanks to Sir B. Hail and Lieut.-Col. Dickson for having ordered a band to play in Victoria-park was ca.•ried unanimously. KENSINGTON-GARDE VS AND REGENT'S- PARK.

Although this popular resort has been open to the public since Easter, yet the amusements have necessarily been on a very limited scale, as the lessee always reserves his grand coup for the Whitsun holidays, when, in addi tion to the minor attractions, a grand vocal and instru , mental concert will be given, under the conductorship of Mons. Bosisio, who, during the recess, has devoted his talent to the production of several new musical pieces, and who will be supported by a very powerful band. A new ballet will be presented, from the pen of R. K. Philp, Esq., possessing very high claims to public ap probation on account of its comic incident, its great scenic effect, and choreographic display. Its title is " The Island of Roses ; or, War, Peace, and Plenty," and is to be worked out by performers of known merit. In the circus, the Ducrow family will appear, whose names are a sufficient guarantee for their excellence. I❑ the grounds will be found many important alterations, improvements, and additions, which will be recognised as dictated by good judgment, and calculateei to increase the enjoyment of the visitor. The panoramic represen tation of Berne, by Jones, and the re-embellishment of the Triumphal Arch of last year, give proof of this. The former possesses considerable merit, both for its truthful portrayal and its illusive effects. A substantial Swiss building, to be used as refreshment room, and occupying a portion of the base of the foreground, is so admirably worked up by the artist, as, at the first glance, com pletely to deceive the eye. The arch is now intended as an illustration of the advantages of peace rather than of the triumphs to be secured by war, We made allu sion some time since to the commencement of a large pavilion in the adjoining Ashburnbam grounds, intended for special fetes connected with charitable and educa tional associations. It is now finished, and will for the present be occupied as an American flower garden of great extent and beauty. The measurement of this build ing is 350 by 100 feet; it is capable of holding 25,000 persons ; and has 160 beautifully decorated windows ; and, after the removal of the flowers, will be made avail able for special galas. THE CRYSTAL PALACE-GRAND PEACE FETE. Her Majesty will be accompanied to-morrow by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Princess Iloyai, the Prince of Wales, the Dachess of Kent, the Duke of Cambridge, and other members of the Royal family, and will be attended by a numerous suite, who will be in military uniform. M. De Persiguy, the French Ambassador, and Baron Brunnow, Russian Plenipotentiary at the late Con• gress, with many other distinguished members of the corps diplomatique, will be present in the Ambassadors' Gallery. The Crimean soldiers who will form her Majesty's guard of honour have been selected from the various regiments who have returned from the war, and will form a body of not less than 500 strong. Among them are some of the most distinguished heroes of Inkerman and Balaklava. On Saturday the usual rule will be departed from, and the admission will be ls. ; notwithstanding which, the preparations made for her Majesty will remain, the fountains will play, and the band of the Royal Artillery will be in attendance. CANTERBURY MUSIC HALL.—This highly attractive concert and refreshment room continues to attract mime ' roue and respectable audiences, not only from the inha bitants of the vicinity, but from all parts of the city. Mr. Morton, the enterprising proprietor, spares no trouble or expense to obtain the highest amount of talent available ; aisd that his liberality is fully appreciattel is testified by the crowded appearance of the Hall, one of the handsomest and best-arranged in the metro polis, every evening. Amongst the performers may be mentioned the inimitable comic singer Sam Cowell, Herr Jongmane Mr. S. Jones, and many other celebri ties. The concerts are under the effective management of Mr. Caulfield ; and Mr. Harrowby very ably presides at the pianoforte. The refreshments are of a very supe rior quality, so that the best proviaiou is made for the gratification of every sense. We earnestly recommend those who have not already visited this agreeable place of amusement to repair their negligence at the first opportunity, and assure them that teey will not regret adopting our suggestion. MADAM TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—This establishment has been lately completely renovated in the decoratve department, preparatory to the coming holidays, which shows the praiseworthy and good judgment of the Messrs. Tussaud iu their endeavours to gratify their numerous visitors. Many objects of interest are in preparation, and will shortly be ready for public inspec tion ' • amo ng them, we understand, is a p ortra i t model of Marshal Pelissier. The musical department will also receive additions, both in the performers and new music, adapted for the occasion; in fact, the best means will be adapted to render this popular establishment as per fect as possible in every respect. CASE OF ARCHDEACON DENISON.—In consequence of the recent decision in the Court of Queen's 13,nch, a peremptory mandamus has issued compelling the Arch bishop of Canterbury to proceed against Archdeacon Denison, whose case is to be heard in the Court of Arches on the 27th inst. Considering what the archbishop had already done, it was impossible that the decision could be otherwise. But the friends of the Church cannot but regret that a question of so much solemnity as that in volved in this case should be brought into court under such circumstances. The archbishop, it is well known, is averse to the proceedings; but he has only hi m . self to thank for the inconvenience arising out of them. Had he followed the jedicious example of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and refused to reopen a ques tion already settled, the controversy would ere this have been at an end ; but having unwisely allowed himself to be entrapped by party manceavre into issuing the preli minary commission, he is very properly compelled to act upon its report. There is nothing now to prevent the case from being carried through all the tedious and ex pensive process from the Court of Arcbes to the Judicial Committee of Privy Council. Em n then the decision will be worth nothing in the matter of doctrine. 1 , . will only have gratified the Rev. John Ditcher, embarrassed the archbiShop, and perhaps ruined the archdeacon, un less he is well supported by the Churchmen who usually think with hien on theological subjects. THE MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY. (This Day.) THE CONTINUED ILLNESS OF COLONEL TULLOCH. The Board re-assembled at the usual hour: The Judge-Advocate•General asked Gen. Airey what course he intended to pursue with regard to his case; if be intended to call witnesses ? Gen. Airey asked if he was to understand that the Commissioners would not attend the inquiry ? The Judge-Advocate•General said that Dr. Balfour, Col. Tulloch's medical advisor, was present, and was prepared to state to the Board that, certainly, for the ❑ext ten days, Col. Tulloch would not be able to leave his room, and that a long periA must elapse after that before he would be able to appear before the Board. He asked Dr. Balfour if he had beard from Sir J. 111'Neil ? Dr. Balfour said that before answering that question he wished to make a statement to the Board. The Judge-Advocate-Gener a l said he believed Dr. Bal four wished to refer to a published report of a statement made by him (the J edge - Advocate-General) on Tuesday, that the suggestion to write to Sir J. M'Neil emanated from Dr. Balfour, when it was he (the Judge -Advocate- General) who suggested it. Dr. Balfour said that he wrote the same night to Sir John M'Neil informing him of Col. Tulloch's illness, but he had received no answer. Alter'some further, discussion, Dr. Balfour said he had the authority of Sir James Clarke and Dr. Martin to state, that after Col. Tulloch could leave his bed it would be at least two or three months before he could attend to any business. The President to Gen. Airey—Under these circum stances do you object to proceed at present ? Gen. Airey—Yes ; certainly. But before he gave big reasons for adopting that course he wished to know if he might expect the attendance of the Commissioners ? Sir G. Berkeley—Tnat's very doubtful. General Airey said—l deeply regret to learn that the Board cannot for the present have the advantage of pur suing the inquiry in the presence of either of the Cost missioners. Her Majesty's Warrant recounts that the conduct of some of the officers on the general staff of her army had been animadverted upon in the report by Sir John M'Neil and Col. Tulloch. I am one of the officers on the general staff thus referred to in her Ma jesty's Warrant. The Judge•Advocate•General, addres- sing me on Tuesday last, said it was the opinion of the Board that, in the absence of either or both of the Com missioners, I ought not to impugn the credit of the re port. In that view I entirely concurred. It waa to impugn the credit of the report, so far as it animadverted upon me, that I appeared before the Board, and since the general officers whom I have the honour to address are most justly of opinion that I ought not to con• tinue the performance of this painful duty in the absence of the Commissioners, I should have rejoiced if the nature of Colonel Tulloch's illness had been such as to justify the hope that an adjournment for a moderate time might give the Board the advantage of his presence in this hall, I have stated that it vine for the very purpose of impugning the credit of the re port, so far as it tended to animadvert upon me, that I appeared before the Board ; but the general officers whom I address will bear me witness, and the short hand writer's notes will confirm my assertion, that in performing this duty I have never for an instant de' parted from that tone of courtesy which I deem it ap propriate to maintain in the conduct of this discussion and I can say now that, it I could find words which will do simple justice to myself as an officer, without giving the slightest pain or vexation to the friends of Sir J• M'Neil and Col. Tulloch, those words, and those only, would I use. But can I find such words ? I declare the subject of description is such that every sentence coming to my lips would be checked by the thought that neither of the Commissioners is present to hear me, and to combat my conclusion. I desired a full and fair in• vestigation in the presence of Colonel Tulloch and his colleague, and I was most anxious also to ex amine Colonel Tulloch, under the firm impression that there were matters on which he could throw more light than any other man. It is not only of as important wit ness that Col. Tulloch's illness deprives me, fur this de• plorable event deprives me also, I will not say of an op• portunity, but of one who wouid endeavour to sustain the allegations contained in the report ; and I do really feel that as his presence is not to be replaced by that of Sir J. M'Neil, I cannot bring myself to go on without explanation and evidence which might by possibility g ive pain to an absent man. Therefore, deferring re spectfully to the view of the Board, which calla upon me either to continue my explanations or to leave the case as it stands as far as Col. Tulloch is concerned, I have come to the conclusion that the latter of those two courses is the one which, if not the more wise and the more prudent, is at all events the one best consorting with my feelings. All who have duly attended t i the purposes of this discussion on Monday and Tuesday last will see that there is much indeed which I should wish to say if could persuade myself to complete any explanation by' summing up the evidence already given before the )Bard ; but if there is much that I should like to add to toy address, there is, happily, nothing in it which I wish to withdraw or qualify; and now, disarmed as am, by the illness and the absence of Colonel Tullocht all I will venture to ask of the Board is this, that in considering their decision they will lendly revert to the evidence which has been given in the progress of this inquiry. The Board, however, will permit me to con• tinue my part in this discussion upon what was con nected with the organisation of the army,which does not tend to bring me into any kind of antagonism with Cols Tulloch. The President—Do you intend to proceed, General Airey, or not ? General Airey—No. Judge - Advocate.General—Will you state more diS• tiactly your reasons for not proceeding General Airey—l wish the Board to adjourn tempo' rarity till one of the Commissioners can attend. General Peel—Cannot you show the inaccuracies of which you complain in the report without the attend• ance of Col. Tulloch ? General Airey—lt is impossible for me to do so with out imp•agning the credit of the report. General Peel, to Mr. Commissary-General Filder -- Are you prepared to go on with your case ! Mr. Filder—No, I am in the same predicament as General Airey. I appear to impugn the correctness of the report. General Peel, to General Airey—lf Colonel Tulloch had never appeared, would you have raised the same ob jection you have now ? General Airey Colonel Tulloch had never aban• doned his original position as a Commissioner, and cocas here and examined witnesses, and animadverted on my statements, I could have gone on without him. Mr. Commissary-General Filder said that he should he able, to-morrow, to state the course he would pursue i❑ his case. The Board were about to retire, to consider what should be done in this emergency, when General Airey said he left his case in their hand 9, and did not decline to go on if they wished him. The Board then retired, and after a lengthened ab• sence returned into Court, when The Judgf—Advocate-General raid that the Board regretted the necessity of adjournment, but as it was necessary, they adjourned the Court till Wednesday next. Some discussion took place relative to Sir J. M'Neil being summoned as a witness, but the Judge• Advocate• General said, as he was a civilian, the Board could not compel his attendance. He should, however, be in formed of General Airey's request. The Court then adjourned at one o'clock, till Wednea day next. COLONEL TIILLOCH.—The following, is a copy of the cer,ificate of Sir James Clark and Mr. Martin as to Colonel Tulloch's state of health 1— "Eaton-square, May 6. "We certify that we were called to Cul. Tulloch yes terday afternoon, and have visited him again this morn ing. We find him labouring under such a degree of bodily and mental exhaustion, arising from long-con tinued mental exertion and anxiety, as to render him totally unfit to attend to any business. We are further of opinicn that complete bodily and mental repose is necessary for the recovery of his health._ " JAMES CLARK, M.D. " J, R. MARTIN." The gallant colonel has been thoroughly exhausted—an exhaustion as complete as that of the overworked men and horses in the Crimea in the performance of a task too arduous for any one man's strength. CHELTENHAM ELECTION.—The nomination took place se,terday. Frederick Munro, Esq., proposed Captain Francis William Fitzbardinge Berkeley as ,a fit and pro per personage to represent the borough of Cheltenham-la Parliament. Mr. Downing seconded the nomination. Captain Francis W. F. Berkeley then addressed the e'eetor4.

The nomination was seconded by Mr. George Parnage. A show of hands was then taken, which the returning officer, J. P. Bell, Esq., declared to b> in favour of Captain Berkeley.
