The all-important question of the currency was brought forward last night in the House of Lords by the Earl of EGLINTON in a very temperate and able speech. The chief object of the Noble Earl was to elicit the views and intentions of the Go vernment on the interesting topic, and to ascer tain whether any move was in contemplation, and in what direction it would probably be made. Some little information was obtained, but, we re— gret to say, of a very unsatisfactory character, merely tending to show that it was the intention of Ministers to shelve the entire question for an indefinite period, or, as the Duke of ARGYLL ad mitted, "to tide it over" sine die. They thought an inquiry into the operation highly desirable " at the proper time and in the proper mode," and would await the result of such investigation be fore any revision was attempted in the present arrangements. But no intimation was given as to the time for that inquiry ; and it is manifest that unless there be a very considerable pressure from without, nothing will be done during the present session., and that the country will be com pelled to endure unnecessarily for an addi tional year, the incubus that has so long paralysed its industrial energies, and ren dered its legitimate trade and commerce little better than gambling speculation—not depending on sound calculation and prudent caution, but on blind chance, in matters over which the parties can exercise no possible control, and wherein they have no data to direct their course.

Although we do not agree with all the conclu sions arrived at by Lord EGLINTON, it is impos sible to deny the accuracy of his statements, or that he fully and clearly established the only point for which he at present contended—viz., the propriety, nay, more, the imperative necessity, for immediate and stringent inquiry into all the ramifications of the subject. That is re quired on every side, by bullionists and anti bullionists, by the most strenuous advocates of monetary restriction, and the supporters of free trade in money, by those who desire the per manency of the monopoly so unwisely granted to the Bank of England, and others who wish for a really national bank, the obligations whereof, in notes of convenient denominations, should be the only legal tender throughout the length and breadth of the land. All concur in the opinion expressed in the Times of the 26th of October last, to which we have repeatedly referred, " that a re-discussiers of the whole question in Parlia ment cannot be arranged too soon." The Govern ment stand alone in trying to evade the consi deration of the matter, and even Lord Gun - , an ardent disciple of the JONES LOYD school, who only thought the act imperfect " because it did not carry to their full extent the principles on which it was founded," was "quite at a loss to understand the line now taken by her MAJESTY'S Government." The community at large will participate in the astonishment of the Noble Earl, and will, we trust, be prepared to supply the necessary stimulus to induce it to enter on a more creditable and politic course.

The continuance of the War was urged as an excuse for avoiding that, as well as every other question that could by any possibility embarrass the Govern ment or disturb its attention from what was par excellence the topic of the day— the vigorous and energetic waging of the con flict in which we were engaged, until the pride of Russia had been humiliated, and her power re -duced to dimensions consistent with the security and well-being of Europe. But that pretext, which we have already proved to be futile and unavailing, no longer exists. If we are to suffer the evils of an improvident and impolitic peace, there is certainly no reason why we should at the same time endure a grievance to which only war could reconcile the nation. Our Government must not at the same time "blow hot and, cold," and require the country to submit to sacrifices, only tolerable from a strong and overwhelming sense of duty, when it has damped its ardour by accepting terms and conditions wholly inadequate, and far beneath what it had the power to enforce and the right to expect. Among other matters touched on by Lord EGLINTON, in his very clear and able speech, was the absurd prohibition of 1/. notes, which saved the credit of the Bank of England, and indeed of the country, in 1825, and against which no reasonable objection has ever been preferred. It requires not the examples of Scotland and Ire'and to show that these worthless raga are invariably prefeired to gold wherever there is a joint circu lation. There never was any feeling of distrust against these not - es in England. As Lord - Asn- BURTON declared, " their credit for all domestic purposes was perfect." They never were resorted to fox any political purposes, and however much , the people might be misled in other respects, they are far too wise to quarrel with their bread and butter, or to make an onslaught on that which in tured the working operative that groat desideratum, "a fair day's wages for a fair day's work." The people of Ireland are not less excitable, or less inclined to net on impulso,• than their English brethren, and yet there was no example even in their palmy days of agitation of a political run for gold, or of any the slightest inconvenience arising from the smaller denominations of notes. The liability to forgery is another bugbear, that should long since have been dispelled, from prac tical experience. There can be no reason why 11. notes should be more liable to forgery than those for 3/. The crime, so far as Bank paper is concerned, is almost unknown in either of the sister kingdomq, and, indeed, there is far greater probability of the circulation o 2 base coin than of spurious paper. In fact, while the former is ren dered every day more threatening from the im provements in electrotyping, &c., the latter be comes almost impossible, if ordinary care be exerted in getting, up the bank note. . Let the monetary reformers, then, exert them , selves in earnest, and the evil will, speedily be redressed.

It has been the test of patriotism, and the criterion of ability. And how many of these reputations—military, maritime, diplomatic, administrative— having been weighed in the balance, have been found wanting?_ gather, we should say, perhaps, how many have not ? How many " shining lights " before the struggle commenced with the crossing of the Pruth by the Russians, and the mustering of the Allies at Varna, how many who were " shining lights " before then, have not (since those incidents transpired) paled in the glare of this grand European conflagration ? Scarcely half-a-dozen altogether—viewing them (states men and warriors alike) indiscriminately. Scarcely half-a-dozen we sty altogether. Why, those great reputations almost at the first blast of the war-trumpet went down like a pack of cards built up only to be tumbled into ruins at a whiff ! or at a vibration ! The London Gazette bad scarcely given the official announcement of this righteous War against Russia having commenced, when— just to begin with—the boasted ABERDEEN Coalition, the Ministry of All the Talents, the Cabinet containing within it the creole de la create of living Administrators, suddenly collapsed —collapsed shamefully, instantaneously, ignomi niously.

LATEST NE WS. The Russian Minister of Finance notified on the sth inst., at St. Petersburg, that a treaty of peace having been signed, the merchant vessels of the Western Powers will be admitted. to Russian BERLIN, TUESDAY, APRIL 8. Lord LiorcaN seems to labour under an errone ous impression with regard to the Crimean Com missiOners. With whatever expectations in cer tain quarters they were sent out, their mission was neither to exculpate nor inculpate him and his fellows in error or Eisfortune—but to ascer tain on what foundations the charges preferred against him and them rested—to get at the truth, so far as they were able, and report accordingly. It may be, and doubtless is, unpleasant to be in culpated by their Report, but as yet the public have no reason to believe that that Report is otherwise than honest ; and it would, therefore, be wiser in the Earl to confute, if he is able, the allegations on which it is based, rather than throw oat insinuations of foul play against them, which no one will believe save on the evidence of sub's stantive facts. The allegations on which their Conclusions are based may be false, but that is no reason why their integrity should be ques tioned. They have given that evidence, the questions asked and answers returned, with the names of the witnesses to the public, and it is for the Earl to show that that evidence is false, for there can hardly be two opinions as to the fairness of the conclusions the Com missioners have drawn from it. Take, for instance, the hutting of the, horses, to which the Earl more particularly addressed himself yes terday. He is chargedwith neglecting to provide cover for the horses in proper time, the result of which was the loss of by far the greater portion of them, and much needless suffering and mortality in the army—in other words, with not having caused the hutting to be commenced before the end of January or the beginning of FebruarY, nor to be completed before the middle of March, when it was of little use. Is there no evidence fairly to countenance this charge ? We say nothing as to its quality. Undoubtedly there is. There is the evidence of several Commanding Officers of regiments. The Commander of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade informed the Commissioners that the first lot of horses was got under cover, he though', about the end of January. Colonel DOHERTY, commanding the 13th Light Dragoons, stated that " we commenced butting the horses on the 26th of January, and completed it on the 22d of February." Colonel DARBY GRIFFITHS, command ing the Scots Greys, contrived, it is true, 4 ,0 get some of his horses under cover at an earlier period ; but that was by employing five French soldiers, at his private expense, in hutting. - What did be say ? Why, that he entertained apprehensions so early as November of what actually occurred, if something was not done to protect the horses ; and, on suggesting the propriety of that some thing being done to Lord LucaN, was threatened with arrest. Is there not here presumptive proof of the fair dealing of the Commissioners ? We should like to have seen a little less disposi tion to insinuation and mere quibbling in the Earl's attempted defence. If the charges pre ferred against him are false, he would lose itothing by a more frank, soldierly explanation. Why should ho be so anxious to have his case considered and decided upon apart from the others ? A civilian would think his innocence—if innocent he is—would only be rendered more palpable the better the opportunity given him to vindicate it. But, proceeding with the Earl's defence—it seems rather odd for .hisa to object to a comparison be tween the losses - of the Commissariat and the losses of the cavalry, because of the greater ex posure of the cavalry horses, when the charge against him is that he neglected to provide against that exposure. It certainly was creditable to him that be saved the mules to which he refers ; but what bad that to do with the loss of the horses? We like better his confession that " the construc tion of stabling of that sort was novel to him," whatever we may think of, his opinion that every body else connected with the Cavalry was equally ignorant. But why threaten Colonel GRIFFITHS in November with arrest for daring to suggest to " him " the propriety of setting about hutting? That certainly does not warrant the supposition that his Lordship's ignorance was of a convertib'e nature, nor tend to suggest any anxiety for tlle fate of the horses on his part. His Lordship, it is true, alleges that the Heavy Brigade was shifted about from day to day in opposition to his remon strances, but he adduces no proof of this important statement. He will do well to do so. As for the alleged period of hutting, Major SaurE's ordt r of the 29th of January, written under Lord LIICAN'S directions, that when an hospital hut has been erected for each regiment, "the whole atten tion of commanding officers may be devoted to the drawing of timber for completing the hutting of horses," certainly goes to corroborate the state ment of the Commissioners.

There is, at, present,-_•a little hue and cry after thieves : a very notorious one, General Wikinski; Minister of the Interior, has already been dismissed. But they have appointed 'in his place a Mr. Mouchanoff, late Chief Inspector of Schools, who will fill both these situations, and who is a man inimical to the'customd and literature of the country. Count Andrew Zamoyski has been charged to superintend the construction of a bridge at Warsaw.

(From, the Times of this day.) The Persians have taken possession of the island of Karak, on the Persian Gulf. The War Minister of Persia had just died. The steamer Hammonia had arrived at Mar seilles, from Const tntinople, with 268 invalids. The weather is bad. VIENNA; APRIL '7. It is stated that the Austrian army in the Principalities has already begun to withdraw from those provinces. HAMBURG, APRTL 7. A large majority of the assembled Burghers have rejected, on the third reading, the project of the ConstitutioD. It is but natural that those evils in the state of Italy to whickWe havo called attention' should in terest the Italian Power which has not long ceased to suffer from many of them. The King of Sardinia;..tiefore he ettered on a war with Russia, had fought a - long battlnaVith foes nearer borne. The domination of, .Austria and the privileges of the priesthood were clearly seen to be the chief Ira- Pediment*. to, prosp4rity both in Piedmont and the States of the peninsula. By a course of polieyboth ;bold and cautious the Sardinian statesmen freed their country from these obstacles. They have given their Sovereign the - right to speak in the name of the whole Italian race, and have insured him allies who will listen with the fullest sympathy to his remonstrances. We have heard with great plea 'sure, therefore, that the state of Italy has been formally brought .before the Conferences by the 'Sardinian Plenipotentiaries. To a reported ex clamation of-the French Emperor, of " What can one do for Italy ?" Count Cavour has answered by a memorial which states the principal grievances of Italy in generali as well as of the individual States. The Milanese and Venetian territories, the Papal States, the kingdom of Naples, all suffer from . different forms of the same malady. Despotic go vernment and priestly interference ruin and taint everything from the Alps to Sicily. No improve ment hastaken place during long years of peace ; on the contrary, the Governments are every day be coming more narrow in their principles, more rigid in their discipline, more relentless in their resent:- ments. The,' Safdinian statesmen have -there -fore felt that. the time has come when the whole matter shOuld be discussed and a remedy applied. No one can believe that the present state Ofthine,s is permanenq and, if reforms be. not adopted, there can be no alternative but fresh convulsions, succeeded by even more grinding . tyranny. Con fident in her position, Sardinia has resolved to speak out, and it is difficult to form too high'a no tion of the boldness which animateathe State papers put forth '.by ;her: Plenipotentiaries. Certainly neither the statesmen of liberal England nor derim cratic France have ever inveighed in such 'plain terms against the corruptions of any foreign Go vernment. Things are indeed called by their right names in the Sardinian memorials, which, if re sponded to by the allies, must be the commence ment of a new period in Italian history. Taking it for granted that there must be fora . long time to come,e. struggle between the Liberal and. Absolutist principles in Europe, Sardinia is anxious to range herself and her sister States on the side of freedom, as represented by France and England. Austria she considers as only tem porarily and by chance the opponent of the Czar. The Emperor of neatly disjointed provinces and dis cerdant nationalities can only rule by the fall supremacy of the autocratic principle, and by that cunning refinement of it which is expressed iu the Maxim, "Divide sand_ govern." The Sardinians therefore believe that the 'Western Powers will do well to encourage such an amount of national in dependence and political liberty in Italy as will unite in some degree the various States, and. place them for the futtire on the same side which Sar .dinia has taken in the lite conflict., The matters brought before the Conferences relate to every part of Italy, but the chief_ importance is given to the deplorable condition of the Papal territories. ' Nothing that a Protestant Assembly iu Edinburgh or Belfast could say of the government of Pops Pius IX. would go beyond the diplomatic repre sentations which a Catholic and Italian State now makes solemnly in the presence of Europe. It is urged that the temporal supremacy of the priesthood is an evil which human nature can no longer bear; that even the govern ment of the sword is better than the govern• went of the surplice ; that the ecclesiastical ruler of 3,000,'000"of Italians is only kept on lti throne by foreign troops, and would again be driven forth if ,his subjepts were released for a week from foreign repression. The character of the priesthood is spoken of in severe language, and i's incapacity for its high functions boldly declared. Then comes the practical part of the matter. The allies are invited to deliberate on the reconstruc eion of the Roman Government. Sardinia totally repudiates the position that temporal power is ne cessary for the Pope so that he may fully exer cise his spiritual authority. She considers that his functions might be wisely restrained to ecclesias tical matters, or, if his rights as a temporal Sove reign be deemed inalienable, it might be insisted that he . should entirely distinguish between his duties as head of the Ctiurch and his duties as an Italian Sovereign ; and that, while ecclesiastical posts are held by Cardinals and Bishops, all that concerns the population which is subject to him should be committed to responsible Ministers, chosen from the laity, under the safeguard of new and salutary laws. 'While Rome is held by French troops the Lega tions are under thecontrol of an Austrian General. This section of the Papal territory formed part of the kingdom of Italy, and at the downfall of Nape leen received with reluctance the old system. As the people are bitterly opposed to the Papal sway, which has condeMned them to years of foreign occupation, Sardinia proposes that they should be at once released from it, and dissevered from the States of the Church. The territory so constituted should be placed Under the government either of an hereditary House or a Viceroy nominally depen dent ou the Popei but appointed under conditions sanctioned by the allies. Austrian occupation should be strictly prohibited, the Code Napoleon . introduced with such modifications as Might be necessary, and the administration by the clergy entirely abolished. These measures Sardinia con siders of the higheet importance and 'necessary for theyeace of Italy. look to it, that he employ the opportunity afforded him for &fence with discretion. The public want justice, neither more nor less, and will have it, so far as they are able. With respect to Naples the Plenipotentiaries are very outspoken. They look on the state of that kingdom as'a disgrace to the Italian name, and suggest the interventi on o f th e a lli es , an d ie es tablishment of, guarantees- for a just adminis tration. The case of • Poerio is alluded to by name, and he is declared to be the victim of a Government which seeks to crush all that is noble and healthy in Italy. When Sardinia comes to speak of the direct Austrian dominion .it is, of course, necessary to proceed with caution. The Plenipotentiaries state that circumstances will not ',allow them to discuss the separation of. Lombardy and Venice from the Austrian empire. Any change in this direction must arise from the even tualities of the future. However, they assert that thOse PrOvitaces form part 'of Italy, and are inse parably united ;with their ; own country and the rest of the Peninsula. They Complain of the poll .tical proscriptions which have taken place, and the unsatisfactery- nature of the so called amnesty. The obstacles interposed between Lombardy and Piedmont are Mentioned.' High duties,,it is said, are placed orr'Piedmontese productions, and pass ports are with difaculty Obtained by Austrian sub jects, and needlessly scrutinised, when a Sardinian would cross the frontier. The discontent. which prevails in the Austrodtalian States is• noticed, and declared to be the effect of an oppresSive Government. For all thefid %*;1 , 4nis,Sardinia asks redress. Some acknowledgment of a national unity in Italy is considered by the statesmen of Turin to be the first step id insuring prosperity and peace. A 'Customs' union, it is alleged, would 'develope the resources of the country ',.and facilitate that inter communication Which is so much wasted. Material improvements *quid follow the removal of politi cal 'oppression; ; 'rhe. whole state of Italy is recom mended to the core of the Plenipotentiaries now assembled in Paris, -- who are reminded that the Congress of Vie n n a did not scrnple to interfere in the affairs of,every nation, and to settle questions relating but little-to the war which then ended. We ha v e l a id 'before the public this sketch of the questions which have grown out of the late con flict, believing that they will not possess less in terest than the terms of the pacification itself. We cannot but be surprised and g ratified at the courage with'ivhich a small State has ventured to appeal for justice:in the face of Europe. .A spirit and a language almost new in diplomacy seem to augur changes which . may astonish Old World statesmen.

Intelligence from Constantinople, to the 27th ult., has been received by the Tagus. It is stated confidently that Lard Stratford de Redcliffe had been recalled, and that Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons had been appointed his successor. It seems that, in several towns of Asia, mani festations have been made hostile to the reforms recently decreed ; at Aidin, especially, the Chris tians have been maltreated. It was said that'the cavalry repressed a disturbance by the Turkish population *t Ismid. The prisoners who were exchanged against the. Russians taken at Kinbourn had arrived at Con stantinople. They gave some very -interesting details about Odessa. The French line-of-battle ships Trident, Ma rengo, Jupiter, lona, and Hercule had arrived in the Bosphorus from Toulon. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. There was to have been a sitting of the . Plenipo tentiaries to-day, but it has been put off till to morrow. The Moniteur announces the reception by the Emperor of congratulatory letters from the King of Prussia, the King of Saxony, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and the Duke of Nassau. The Patrie says, it is stated that Count ,Orlolf has received communications from St. Petersburg informing him that his presence is necessary there, in order to assist at a grand diplomatic council which is to take place at the end of the month. The Patric adds that be will be replaced at the Paris Congress by M. Titoff. Important despatches have arrived from CoU stantinople which may affect the deliberations of the Congress touching the final settlement of the Principalities' question. A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, in the Independence Beige of yesterday, states that 16,000 hectolitres of wheat were sold at Marseilles by auction on the 12th of last month, and 60,000 hectolitres of corn and 40,000 barrels of flour on the 23d. A letter from Marseilles, sth, states that the English steamer Caradoc is expeted every day from Alexandria, to which port she went to take on board the Marquis of Dalhousle, ex Governor- . General of India, who is on his return to England. BOURSE, April 7.—The following were the elof.- ing quotations : Cash. fr. S. X 4 of Mout/ .

" According to a telegtapbic despatch from Ga latz," says a Vienna letter, " the Austrian war steamer Castalone, which directs the labours of the vessels charged vv:tli the clearing of the Sulina mouth, had arrived there, and all the necessary preparations have been made to commence at once their labours. On the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d March terrible storms took place in the Black Sea. The commerce between Turkey and the Principalities has experienced much ani mation. The same has taken place between Ger. many and the countries of the Lower Danube. Zollverein goods are carried by rail to Vienna or Pesth, where they are embarked on the Danube. They take only ten clays to go from Pesth to Giur gevo (Bucharest station) or to Galatz. On Monday next will open the weekly line of rapid steamers from Pesth to Galatz iu connection with the Lloyd steamers, which go from Galatz to Constantinople. These passages are so organised that the journey from Pesth to Constantinople will be performed in eight days. RUSSIA. A St. Petersburg e nrespondent, writing to the Cologne Gazette the day before the signature of the treaty, says : "There is nothing here but enthusiasm for the much' longed-for peace. People care little about its terms, but only want to know that it is signed. Russia will take a lesson from her political and economical expe rience, and hasten to supply what is lacking in her re sources. These are, first, the progress and development of the useful arts ; and next, a better organisation of the army. The Emperor is working energetically for both objects." POLAND. WARSAW, March 21.—The country awaits with anxiety the issue of the Conferences. We have not yet lost'the hope that after the English, French, Turks, and Sardinians, our turn will also come. Doubtless, we shall no longer fire great guns and hazard the little that rema ins to us to please the foreign newspapers, as we did in 1816 and iu 1848; but if you will act frankly with us, we are all ready. If, on the contrary, you conclude peace without making any alteration in our present posi tion, I cannot answer for the consequences. In thn official world every order his for some time had a military tendency •, drugs for 300,000 men have been ordered for the military stores of this country alone. Is this a hoax, to make people believe that we are ready for a subsequent war ? For it is generally believed that everything that is done here is immediately known abroad. There are no regular troops at Warsaw, and very few in the kingdom of Poland ; the service is entirely per formed by the militia, who perform. it very. unwill ingly, their service having already exceeded the period for which they considered they were en gaged. The new recruiting is going on with great rapi dity ; it amounts, in our little kingdom alone, to 30,0Q4) men. Some officers of distinction believe that it is not thought in Russia that Cronstadt can resist the new English armaments. Russia laughs in its sleeve at, the foreign newspapers and speculators on the ex changes who call its weakness and impotence gene rosity and disinterestedness. Before Europe they put on the mask of magnanimity ; before their countrymen that of astuteness. They say that they are breaking up the Anglo-French alliance for their own interest, and that they will join France either against England or, what is more likely, against Austria. There is nothingnew here but a new set of officials. Nothing in the system is changed. On the contrary, the Russian language . vrhic4 had formerly been LITERATURE. Things not Generally Known. By John Timbs, F.S.A.-- Bogue, Fleet-street. This is a.very entertaining and useful volume, taking its'pflabe among the'cleverly-compiled books which stimulate the mind of the comparatively un• informed, and refresh the memory of those who have learnt so much that they have, forgotten great part of their acquirements_ It gives laconic and clear information on five hundred various subjects of remote curiosity and universal interest. It 'en deavours to explain to Mrs. John - Bull the com plicated items of that frightfully heavy housekeep ing bill of hers, the. national debt ; and it relates to Master John Bull the full and particular ac count of his " horn book." It. enlightens regarding the sun, moon, and stars of the "solar systent, and tells us the 'origin of ;.those three ominous ,planets of the pawnbroker's system. We glean froth it something shout the delicate " maids of honour" which we devour at Richmond, and the acrobatic " pancakes" which we 'permit to leap into our mouths on Shrove Tuesday. It gives the origin of "cant," which, in our obstinate igno rance, we conceive to be of much older date than is here stated. It has something to say about the " woolsack ; " louse.,,of Lords, and might have said Much: more had it diverged into any telligence respecting the woolgatherers hovering about it. It discourses of the " circulation of, the blood" and of "bank notes"—a synonymous pro cess with many .of us. It mentions the " variety of hawks":- apd:deals, with the " origin of solici tors." Altogether, the work is'well worth its cost, and we would have it iy lug on every table where intel lectual and scientific gossip is preferred to frivolous vapidity or taciturn dulness. The Martins., 1-- No. XVII. By Charles Lever. Godfrey Martin, of Cro' Martin, dies at Baden —according to the latest instalment a this vera cious hidoiy-r-leaving everything in most dire confusion. The pstate of the absentee, indeed, appears to be on the eve of vanishing, ike fairy gold, in the grasp of its inheritor. Captain Mar tin having gambled his possessions away long ago, helter-skelter, pell-mell, higgledy-piggledy, into the clutch of the vulgar little Jew usurer, Herman Merl. Excellent Master Scanlan tries hard to get some good to himself out of the ill-wind blowing do*n the fortunes' of his some time patrons, those said Martine, of Oro' Martin. .In vain—honest Maurice whistles down that, wind—for " Mary" as his wife, and for the agency 'of the " property" as "his fee simple. .1%/lea.nwhile Kate Hendersoia seems to evade quite - as effectually the advances of her true lover Jack Massingbred. The last we hear of Kate is that having escaped from the durance of Lady Dorothea's companionship, she arrives " at fionae," only to be insulted-by her abominable old linux of a paterfamilias. Disgusted with her re ception she goes in quest of Mary Martin; and the next number we conjecture will, show us the two heroines of the story comfortably domiciled toge ther at the cottage, in readiness for the inevitable 'eclaircissement consequent on the discovery in Mr. Barry the benevolent stranger, of Mary's long-lost father, the eld3r brother of poor dead Godfrey, and, as such, the rightful owner of Cro' Martin—to the amazement of the Captain, to the dismay of Lady Dorothea, and to the signal discomfiture of Messrs. Merl and Scanlan . The New Quarterly Review and Digest of Curren Literature. Bosworth and Harrison. The Netvl2 actrterly has now reached its eighteenth number, and seems rapidly making its way, not only as a cheap, but, also, a high class, organ of opinion on. critical matters. As usual a useful "Retrospect' of the .Literature of the Quarter" leads the way. This- is followed_ by a dip into History and Biography. " The Confidential Cor respondence of Napoleon Buonaparte with his bro ther Joseph," and ." A Narrative of the Siege of Xtrs," forming the subjects of able articles under the former head, and " Recollections of the Table Talk of Samuel frOgers," of a pretty stringent and amusing one, undpr the latter. Books of travel and of science, in fair proportion, pass also under 'review, "A Personal Narrative of a Pil grimage to El Madinah and Mecca," a work which furnishes matter for amusing and instructive com ment. Poetry and works of fiction have their turn, as also statistics in relation to " The Military Forces and Finances of Russia, Austria, Prussia, France, and England," a subject of stern reality, , ably handled in an original article by that distin guished statist and financier, John Macgregor, Esq., M.P. The signing of a treaty—the estab lishment is another matter—of Peace does not de prive this article of a powerful interest, and its perusal may; therefore be safely recommended. Articles on subjects of a " Miscellaneous" nature include " PoptilarMusic of the Olden Time," and ." Passages selected from the Writings of Thomas Carlyle," both entertaining and instructive. A review of the French and. German literature of the quarter makes up the contents of the April number of this very promising Quarterly. The Eclectic Review.--L-The 'more prominent fea tures of the April issue of this high-class periodical are a comprehensive review of " The Life and Times of Salvator Rosa," an able article on " Bible Truth and its Opponents," and a very interesting notice of "Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Dr. Wardlaw," by Dr. Alexander, who appears tohave executed his task with much ability and success. The reviewer not unhappily describes Dr. Wardlaw as "of middle height, and vigorous and active frame—the forehead -high, though not very troal, the featureS - regular; eyebrows bushy, lips sweet but firm, and the general expression dignity and seriousness combined with cheerfulness and bone volence. His intellect excelled rather in analysis than in finding matter to be analysed, was capable of prompt, vigorous, and long action, aid was ever controlled and kept diligently at work by a will swayed by , conscience. . . . He possessed a naturally elegailt and cultivated taste. Dugald Stewart was his philosopher, Cowper his poet. He occasionally wrote poetry . . . sometimes satirical, never with malice, and always on the right side. He was ready at repartee." A review of " Ferguson's Handbook of Architecture" may .also be mentioned.' Altogether the present is a good, if not beyond an average, number of this well-known Organ of the Congregational body.

The grand naval review and sham fight at Spithead halt been postponed for a week, in order to allow time for the arrival of even a larger number of first-class ves sels. The day is not yet positively fixed, but we believe we may state with confidence that the 231 or 24th instant will be decided upon, PORTSMOUTH, Aran 7. ••• A grand naval promenade, pre'paratory to the coming • naval review, by her Majesty, the Houses of Perna ,nent, &c., has taken place to-day. This has been done by 11 of the screw line-of battle ships, and 17 screw and oaddle-frigates and sloops, which we yesterday reported as being at Spithead, together with a number of attend ant smaller vessels--such as the Black Eagle, Vivid, Eire Queen, and Lightning. The Senior Sea Lord of the Admiralty, Rear-Admire the Right Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, in order to witness the - proceedings of the day. He went to the dockyard and viewed the scene of the steam-boiler explosion of Sa- turday evening, the particulars of which calamity we, reported yesterday. At eight o'clock this morning the ,hips at. Spithead, crossed topgallant and royal yards, uninoorecl ship, and lighted fires, and at nine o'clock they were prepared to weigh. At about a quar ter to ten, Admiral Berkeley went out in the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle to Spithead, the Commander.in-Chief going in . : the Fire Queen. The latter, after a short ' visit to Admiral Dundas's flag-ship, the Duke of Wel- Linton, proceeded on board the Arrogant, 46, screw frigate, Captain Lyster, Sir George's flag, red at the fore, being hoisted there, and at the same time struck ' ln board the victory. 1 1 The, gun-boat divisional ship s C o l ossus, S anspare il , And Brunswick, screw two-deckers, the Belleisle, hos pital-ship, and the Meander, 46, sailing-frigate, took ao part in the proceedings of the day. At half-past 10 the ships of the line were ordered to weigh, leaving' the steam-frigates and sloops at an .thor until such time as the liners should have cleared the anchorage. The - latter went away in two divi -ions, one headed by th 9 Duk e o f Wellington, and. the other by the Royal George 102 ; the whole pre ,:eded by the Arrogant and Bl ac k Eagle. At half-past 11, the frigates and sloops went away in obedience to .ignal, headed by the Retribution, flag-ship of Rear- Admiral Baynes. The order of sailing was in two ines or divisions ' the spectacle being v er y magnificent. ' The course was beyond the Nab light-ship to a die . 'ance of about 10 miles. The ships were out of sight ~ out for a very, short time. At about half-past one. - the fleet came in sight again, the Duke leading the )ort division, and the Royal George the starboard ; - hese ships being abreast. The ships returned in the order in which they went away, the first ships of the two lines being i Port Division. Starboard Division. Duke of Wellington _l3l 1 . Royal George 102 ,t Orion •• • - 91 I Nile- 9l - James Watt. Hogue 60 1 Edinburgh And then the other li n e- o f-b a ttl e s hi ps , f r i gates, &e. i , The Commander-in-Chief in the Arrogant took tation in the centre of the two lines, and as the flees Approached Spithead on their return, he steamed between he two divisions in most beautiful style, and led therm up. The spectacle at this moment was really splendid, • he great ships and the small ones keeping their stations in their divisions with as much precision as could the troopers in a squadron of cavalry, the effect being height.' . cried by the gay colours of flags of the signals hoisted , ,y the Arrogant in reference to the order of the ships' , moboring, &c., and ivhich signals were repeated by the Duke, Royal George, and Retribution. Steam was the noving power of the fleet, although one or two of the ilder built ships had to borrow the aid of their canvas to enable them to keep their places. The part the gun-boats took in the display was 1* ninor one as compared to what they are intended to eke at the review itself. Two divisions of them steamed After the fleet a part of the way, and the other two divi -ions "ent to the westward, being exercised in sailing is t line, &o. The first return of the advanced Baltic squadron has taken place to-day in the arrival at Spithead of the- Cmiar, 91, screw, Captain Robb, which came up as the' fleet was making uplor the anchorage 6 She reports ither &hips as on theirroad here. SHAM ATTACK OF STEA bi OUN-BOATO ON THE TOWN OP COWES. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) sE COWES, APRIL 7. During the whole of this day a number of large ships: ' if war have been steaming up and down the Solent, and , oetween three and four o'clock this afternoon twelve I screw gunboats steamed down from Portsmouth, a nd „n o .vhea directly off our, town commenced blazing o ff at it .vith their heavy g uns in such a way as , if th ey had 'seen shotted and properly pointed, would have soon ~• cidened our streets and thinned our population. `. After half-an-hour's firing, having effected their object, they hauled off for the night and returned to Ports• mouth. . NAVAL ARRANGEMENTS IN THE BLACK SEA. Our Paris correspondent yesterday quoted a very fair -ketch of the terms of the treaty of peace from the pinione of Turin. The number of armed vessels which Russia and Turkey are to have in the Black Sea for the purpose of police and' defence of the coasts is not to es- -; ceed ten for each Power. (rhe number was accidental omitted in eur impression of yeAerday.) The statement, we have every reason to believe, is quite correct. Turkey, of course, may have as large a fleet as she chooses in the Sea of Marrnora and the waters Constantinople, and may exercise it in the Mediter• ranee!). It is obvious that ten vessels for each State is the minimum number of ships required in a sea of the magnitude of 'the Burin° t 3 prevent its coast becoming • the refuge of pirates, and to secure the safety of the commerce of all nations in its waters. The presence of the Consuls of England and other Powers in the ports of Russia will be the best guaraa• tee that this slight armament will not be exceeded.- - Morning Post.
