" Grim-visaged war" being banished from the earth, the adult unmarried members of the seve ral Royal houses are on the look out for suitable matches. The matrimonial market is active, and German Princes and Princesses are "looking up." The demand is considerable, but it is fully met by the supply, and old and young, who happen to belong to "the family" of Sovereigns, aro on the alert. Prince FREDERICK WILLIAM of Prussia at present occupies the English ground. His al liance with the PRINCESS ROYAL, aged 15 years, has been virtually arranged for the last five years, the ardent lover having commenced his dis interested courtship, when the fair J oung lady had attained the ripe age of ten years. His sister, the Princess Loma, has already been betrothed to the Prince Regent of Baden—the contrazt being rather rapidly decided on, in order that the doubtful honour of a Russian marriage might be avoided. As the feelings and affections of the parties are but little consulted in these matters it is more than probable that the Grand Ducal suitor may accept as a substitute the daughter of Prince AL BERT now aged 4 years, and that thus the con nection between the Courts of St. James's and of St. Petersburg may ba brought about, although in a more circuitous manner than at first contemplated. It is Germany that is chiefly concerned in these various matters. Her numerous petty Princes are always available for any chance. She thus continues to have a predominant German influence at every Court. It is thus that the ruling ( - A de is main tained, with Brahminictl tenacity—an exclusion almost as complete as that of the Hindoos them selves. Circassian slavery is not more complete than that of the unfortulte female victims, whose chains are not the less onerous from being richly gilded. For this they aro educated. The suitor, whose claims are favoured by the head of the house, must be accepted, however repug nant to the feelings of the victim. She has no more f ree d o m of choice than if exposed for sale in the market, and about to be knocked down to the highest, although by no means the fairest, bidder. It is by the various ramifications thus intro duced, and by which every reigning family . I Europe is closely connected, that popular rights have so long been withheld. Should there be any feeling of discontent, there is always some. Royal brother-in-laW or cousin ready to assist the unpopular sovereign, and to crush the expression of the popular will. The frogs in the fable could not consent to the supremacy of one of themselves, and they had ample reason to deplore the fatuity that led to the elevation of the " log" and "stork" dynasties. Not more so, however, than Most European states have had in reference to marriages, with which it is by a pleasant fiction, declared that the Peoples have no concern. All their business is to pay the stipulated dower ; and, in case of emergency, to be prepared to sup port a set of Princely paupers, expelled from their own countries by their quondam, subjects, irritated beyond further enduranc e . As we have already stated all the dynasties of the Continent are connected together by these complicated intermarriages. The claim of "con,- _7III4AUN; LONDON; MONDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1856. sinhood" can be urged by any German fugitive, ay s ikrmans are preferred for every public office to the citizens of the state in 'which the Royal Consort, male or female, belongs to the favoured race. Itis not merely the so-called "Great Powers," Austria, England, France, Prussia, and Russia that arothus connected, but all the second and third rate potentates, even to the petty landgrave whose domi nions are not equal in extent to the estate of a respectable English squire. By the rigorous sys tem adopted the evil is maintained, and so it will be until the people take the matter into their own hands, and provide an adequate remedy. It is the Royal Marriage Act which brings this country within the operation of the obnoxious prin ciple. That fatal enactment—framed in consequence of the spite of GEORGE 111. against his brothers— sacrificed the happiness of almost all his children, and led to the very limited number of his legiti mate descendants, when compared with his nu merous children, male and female. Something should be done to save the present Royal family from similar misery, and the only possible mode is by repealing the unjust and impolitic law. If anything is to be accomplished no time should be lost before connections are formed that could easily be dissolved, and which do not redound calker to the honour or happiness of the rising genera tion. Objections may be made to the change, but the Representatives of the people have the power in their own hands. Let them firmly deter mine not to grant a single shilling to any Prince or Princess wedded to a foreigner, or to make any allowance until that impolitic law which the people of Great Britain have had so much cause to deplore has been completely abolished. Such a rule will produce immediate and very satisfac-_, , tory results ; and we may then at length hope to see "England for the English," and not for the Germans—and get rid in time of the prevailing influence that has recently produced results so very injurious to the honour and interests of the United Kingdom. Exeter Hall has not taken much change out of its late tyrannical interference with the recreation and enjoyment of the Londoners. It has succeeded in obtaining the withdrawal of the military bands so kindly furnished by Sir BENJAMIN HALL. In the stead of these the people have got bands of their own, which they or their friends are, to a certain extent, content to pay for. That is the extent of its triumph on its own showing. This, however, by no means represents the precise state of affairs between the contending parties. The moral triumph is wholly with the people. In every respect the people have had the better. They have not had recourse to any dirty back. stairs work to effect their purpose. They have net slandered nor striven to oppress those whom GOD and man held them bound to succour and to bless. They have not made the noblest motives the pretence for the most tyrannical purposes. They have not fulmi nated Heaven's thunders on acts the LORD of Heaven when upon earth would have approved. They have not blasphemed the Divine mercy, and striven to shut out with sackcloth the light of Heaven's benignity. They have not raved from perverted texts, and sent forth crazy emissaries to stir up riot and confusion. The honour and the glory of all this is with the Sab batarians. The people have behaved manfully. They have vindicated so far their own rights and the cause of civil and religious liberty, and they have done so becomingly. How kmany camp meetings, we may ask, have been conducted, or have passed off with equal propriety to that which characterised the Imusic meetings in the Parks yesterday ? Apart from the rudeaess of a few lads in Hyde-park, the only disturbers of the peace yesterday were a 1 few fanatics, whose denunciations had a marvel lous resemblance to these of AlAwwor.ar, in the Hypocrite, and who, if -they had been paid by some inveterate infidel to make religion a public mockery and offence, could not have succeeded better. Yesterday, despite the rain and the humiliating circumstances, was a proud day for the Londoners. The vast numbers present, and that remained for hours, afforded sufficient proof of the overwhelm ing numbers forthcoming on a favourable oppor tunity, or in case of necessity. It was really heart-stirring to witness the patience and good humour with which the multitude stood out the strains of the not over-vivacious band on Prim rose-hill, and even where the music was better or better heard, the same resolve to vindicate the principle at stake, rather than particular enjoy ment in the music, not to be expected in such weather, was observable. The proceedings might be slow, but the Londoners gave proof they meant the vindication they involved to be sure, and that it may be so—that the right of the public to have recreation in their own Parks on Sun day afternoon should be maintained, it is necessary they sheuld go on taking it. That the total suppression of all music in the Parks was intended may or may not be doubted. •Ve are of opinion it was, though we should not be surprised to hear that Lord PAL3IERSTON purposely left a loophole of escape. The fact, as we take it, is, his Lordship's luck did not forsake him, and finding a loophole left he resolved to leave it open, and gave Sir G. GREY instructions accordingly. Else what meant his absurd declaration that the with drawal of the bands left matters as they were ? A.baurd, we say, because the people having been in possession of a boon were in the position of having been deprived of it by the influence of the Sabbatarians, who had no legitimate right to interfere, and further had to complain of a betrayal of their interests on the part of Government. Lard PAL: , ,IERSTON, before the deputation left, it would seem, became aware of the depth of feeling on the popular side, and was not displeased to see a way of escape. If the people brought their bands to the Parks, and the Sabbatarians took him to task for a breach of contract, it was open to him to urge that his pro• hibition only applied to the military bands, and these being withdrawn Government stood clear in the matter. However this may be, our advice to the population is, go to the Parks next Sunday, and the next, and the next in in creasing numbers, and if you maintain order and otherwise conduct yourselves as you have done, there is no power that dare interfere with your enj o y men t of your right. Government is not to be depended on. All the influence the Sabbata rians can to bear, and th a t can on ly b e effectually met and overcome by your continued presence in hundreds of thousands. Already there is confusion in the Sabbatarian camp, and your example is being fol lowed in the provinces. Mr. BAINES, who takes on himself to be the censor of all England, and who dared to di rect a parvenu sneer and an obscene slander against you, has now th e sat i sfaction of knowing that he has raised the E ng li sh spirit of the people of his locality, who have met hi s tyrannous dogmatism by the provision of music (commencing yesterday) in the Leeds Park (Wood house Moor) on Sunday afternoons, under the sanction and with the personal countenance of many of the magistracy. In your resolution—in your firm persistence in the course of duty, lies ~'. ~. .: the germ of liberty from Sabbatarian tyranny, and I the boon of much healthy recreation for the work ing men of many of our large towns. Every blow struck against tyranny in London redounds through out the provinces, and with these facts before you there is the strongest additional motive to perse verance. Let the Parks then present, Sunday after Sunday throughout the season, the cheering spec tacle of you, the bees of this vast hive of industry, coming forth into the pure air of heaven, and amid the glorious verdure of creation drinking in that enjoyment and those lessons of instruction which are needful to the moral and intellectual sustenance of over-tasked humanity. GOD'S tem ple is quite as good as man's, and may well be suffered to alternate with it as a place of public worship. THE GERMANS AND THE NATIONAL GALLERY. LATEST NEWS. BERLIN, SUNDAY, MAY 25.

EPSOM 110 I shall not preface my remarks on the racing about to be decided at Epsom by expatiating on the " glories" of the Derby Day, or by indulging in rhapsodies about " the sport worthy of a free people," or of letting my fancy run riot in the wild field of the imagination. That we are on the ad vent of England's Great Saturnalia, the Derby Day, is made manifest to us in a hundred wars. It appeared in the large and motley throng at The Corner yesterday, where peer and plebeian elbowed one and another in total oblivion to everything except the all-engrossing subject in their minds. It is now shown in the " curious characters in cut away coats," which we meet in the streets of Lon don walking in twos and threes, totally regardless of the moving traffic that surrounds them, and talking in confidential whispers about lame 'uns and roarers. They can't be mistaken, for their very appearance is of the turf, turfy. The great coming event, too, is shown in their carefully attended and neatly-clothed horses that are seen daintly picking their Way through the erowded thoroughfares en route to Surrey, compelling Cockneys to stand at gaze, and inspiring even the most indif ferent with a momentary interest and curiosity. If such, however, be the characteristics of the advent of the Derby in town, what must be the state at Epsom, the focus of attraction, the con flaence where the many streams of people from all parts of the country will meet and unite ? This question I can answer satisfactorily. Driving through the wide straggling street yesterday I was surprised at the Sabbath stillness which prevailed. Not even a policeman, a draggled list-seller, a leg weary foot-sore tramp, or any other " unclean thing" met the gaze. Presently the church-going bell sounded, and the inhabitants came out and trooped demurely to their Sunday devotions, cast ing a look of curiosity at me, and evidently regard ing me as a swallow, which told of the returning spring ; for I was there to remind them that their season of revelry and, if you will, devilry, had re turned. My travel-stained appearance, jaded horse, and mud-bespattered gig, however, only excited momentary curiosity, and were forgotten when the winding road and thick foliaged trees had hid me from their gaze. The downs, however, presented a different scene. There all was activity and bustle, and the note of preparation sounded far and wide. Workmen were busily employed in erecting booths, l whose skeleton outlines showed grimly through the morning mist. Gipsy tents were scattered at frequent intervals through the furze and far over the downs, whilst the usual motley group had congregated at the rubbing-house. Several pedes trians and equestrians were - waiting to see the horses gallop; and then there was Yorkshire Jack, portly and dictatorial, puffing huge volumes of smoke from his everlasting pipe ; and. there was Drewett on his pony that can go over everything. In fact, all the "early birds" were out ready to pick up the worms of intelligence. Cooking was proceeding rapidly in the Grand Stand. The lawn, too, looked green and fresh, the course stretched out like a rich green carpet, and, during the intervals be tween the rain, when Old Sol showed his bright gladdening face and drove the shadows rolling pell-mell into the valleys, the whole scone was gay . and picturesque. I obtained a peep at Cannobie, who cantered gently, but well, and is a magnifi cent goer. His trainer makes no secret of his con fidence. But lam anticipating matters. Haying had my preliminary canter I will no longer delay the start. Twenty-two events are appointed for decision during the two days, the added money distributed amongst the different stakes amounting to 1,275 g. Bravo Dorling ; your enterprise entitles you to a rich profit on your correct cards and a crowded stand. Right glad am I that all your Balcony stalls are lot. But the DERBY must be discussed. I have dal lied too long with the subject ; or, like the lovers, so beautifully described by Tennyson, - have coursed about The subject most at heart, more near and near, Like doves about a dovecot, wheeling round The central wish, until I settled there." The list of quotations which has been daily pub lished in The Sun has rendered the reader fami liar with the recent chops and changes in the bet ting. The rise of certain horses seemingly im pended the " fall" of others, and the position of Wentworth in particular seemed to be once much jeopardised. That the horso has encountered vio lent hostility is undeniable, but the fact is also in disputable that if he has been betted against heavily he must also have been backed heavily. Perhaps, indeed, few horses have received such constant and steady support, and the very fact of few of his partisans hedging testifies unmistakeably to the undiminished confidence which is placed in his chance. I admit that I ' am no through thick-and thin admirer of the horse, but the undoubted steadineSs with which he has been supported causes me to hesitate before I withdraw utterly all allegiance from him. His race at New market was unsatisfactory, although perhaps it afforded no trustworthy criterion of his ability. His appearance does not come up to the standard which I have formed of a Derby horse. He seems speedy, but should the ground be heavy his action will be materially counteracted. Despite the rumoured trial of Vandermulin with Bracken,' and the report that he would, after all, represent Lord Derby's interest, Fazzoletto—the "lame 'an"—maintains his position steadily enough. Still, too, it is asserted that since his arrival at Leatherlead he has done very little work. Ido not place much faith' in the adverse rumours which are circulated about him. So far as the running this year is concerned he is cer tainly the best public performer out, and I shall expect to see him sent to the post at least 7lbs. better than when he ran for the Two Thousand. Although his stable companion, Fly-by-Night, has recently been doing good work, and looks and goes well, yet, from the style in which the " talent" operate upon him, I shall be fully prepared for his absence on the Derby Day. All sorts of stories are tokl about Vaniermulin's trial, which some people assert took place at Hed nesford, and others on the Darby r..ce course. Vandermulin, it is said, gave Bracken 91bs. and beat him. No very extraordinary achievement if Bracken's public performances be taken into con sideration. Still, it is sufficient to strengthen the confidence which may be placed in the horse. He seems, however, not to be in quite such good force, and the " peppering" which he got from a certain gallant captain was calculated to startle his backers. Vandermulin is a fine animal enough, and his sup porters may have reason for their boast, that "the horse that beats him will win the Derby." - Cannobie has returned again into high favour ; and deservedly, for a horse in more superb, con dition is not - likely to go to the post. Notwith standing the report that he makes a noise, it has been proved that he cau stay,"—not behind, as his opponents sneeringly remark, but with the lead ing horses, let them go as fast as they like. Can naie's appearance convinced those who were out yesterday morning on the Downs that he will be a most formidable competitor. The confidence which is placed in Artillery is un diminished. Certain of an honest race, and a clever jockey, shrewd judges are determined to keep the horse on the right side cif their books. ' Artillery has much thickened and improved since last year, and has been most highly tried. If his number be not amongst the first three on the telegraph I shall commit a woeful error of judgment. I am disinclined to desert utterly my old friend Yellow Jack. I trusted him for the Two Thou sand, and for the Chester Cup, and a gamer cham pion I could not have selected. Although lam not prepared to see him win, I fully expect him to run forward. His stable companion, The Coroner, seems to be quite knocked out of the market. The betting with respect to Ellington and Bird in-Hand present's an anomaly. Ellington is at 20 to, 1, and the Bird at 30 to 1; yet the latter beat the former at Chester. In my opinion one Bird-in- Hand is worth two Ellingtons in the bush. Of the remaining outsiders I prefer Puck and The Prince. Although there does not appear to be any flyer in the race, and although there are not likely to be so many good horses amongst the competitors as in Bay Middleton's year, still the field is likely to comprise animals of much merit. To fill the fore most places I shall select CANNOBIE AND FAZZOLETTO. The next two in my estimation are ARTILLERY AND WENTWORTH. The minor items in the programme may be briefly dismissed. The Woodcote Stakes I assign to Lam bourn. For the Summer Handicap I select Game keeper and Blue 8011, and for the Manor Plate, Rip Van Winkle. Flacraw will win the Heathcote Plate. Atherstone ought to carry off the Beutinck Plate, and either Tester or Roving Betsy the Town Plate. Should Manganese start she will win the Cup in her absence Typee shall do battle for me. I shall not now refer to Thursday's events, the result of which will depend materi ally upon pre vious running. For the Oaks my present par= tiality is for Mincepie. May 26. A FRESIT MAN. THE SUNDAY MUSIC QUESTION. HYDE- PARK. The number of people who yesterday visited Hyde park and Kensington-gardens was by no means so consider able as had been generally anticipated, a fact which was probably owing to the invitation given by placard to those interested in the Sunday Band Question to assemble on Primrose-hill. But however this may have been, it is in conteatible that the visitors to Hyde-park werenot at all in excess of the numbers to be seen there on any fine Sunda Ifternoon during the summer, although there was doubt less a greater preponderance of the working class element than is usually observable. It had become known that a band was to be provided by individual effort, and about half-past three a body of Ger man musicians made their appearance, and took up a posi tion north of tbeSerpeutine, near the enclosure at the back of the Royal Humane Society's receiving -house, where they were greeted with cheering by those near the spot, and closely hemmed in by a crowd of several hundreds of per suns ere they bad well pitched their music stools, or got their instruments in order. They first played " od save the Queen," which met a loyal response from the bystand ers; and then they gave "Rule Britannia," which was also loudly cheered ; other airs followed, and the whole per formance was well received by a shifting but not over nu merous audience ; for the greatest number of people assem bled in the immediate neighbourhood of the band at any one time did not exceed 1,200 or 1,500 persons. It must, in fact, be admitted that the experiment of a non-official band is to a great extent a failure. There were many thou sands of people in the park and gardens, without doubt, but they sauntered up and down the gravelled walks, or circulated round the Serpentine, or placed themselves ander shady trees, in pleasant pic-nic faihion, and, in short, while to all appearances thoroughly en joying themselves, they cared little for the efforts of the band, who, finding_themselvee not to be that centre of attraction which they had, in all probability, expected to become, shifted their position to a more open spot, near the firework enclosure, but without drawing dny greater number of people around them than before. The band was a very good one, and the music generally of a character to please the popular and, perhaps, not over-discriminating audience ; but there being no platform for the accommoda tion of the musicians, who were closely packed in the middle of a crowd, the effect which, under more favourable circumstances, they might have produced was, in a great measure lost—in addition to which they were greatly infe rior, numerically, to a regimental band. There was an expectation on the part of some that the police would interfere, and stop the band from playing, but no such interference took place. Not more than two or three policemen in uniform were anywhere to be seen, and everything went on quietly enough until the band quitted the park at six o'clock. _~_ PRIAIROSE 'HILL. Yes terday afternoon, in accordance with public announce ment by means of placards extensively circulated through out the metropolis, a demonstration in favour of the re establishment of Sunday bands in the public parks took place at Primrose-hill. Four o'clock was appointed as the hour of assembling, and long before that time the summit of the hill was co vered by a dense mass of people, the majority of whom were exceedingly well dressed, and appeared to belong to the respectable class. s; and, at the same time, thousands were to be seen wending their way through the avenues of the Regent's-park. and in every other direction, towards the' spot selected for the expression of opinion on the Sun day band question. It is computed that by four o'clock at least 60,000 persons had assembled on the hill, but the ominous aspect of the heavens, and the subsequently heavy shower of rain which succeeded, not only soon thinned the ve at assemblage on the hill itself, but stopped the career of those who were on their way to the scene of demonstra tion, and compelled a retreat to every available place of shelter. Bat for this circumstance the impression prevails that at least from 150,00) to 200,000 persons would have assembled; as it was, many thousands, among whom were a large number of well-dressed females, stoically remained. Shortly after four o'clock s well-appointed band of 20 performers, attired in a similar costume to that of the Crystal Palace band, and who, as we understood, had been engaged by the National annday League, made their ap pearance, and, on reaching the summit of the hill, were re ceived with a general burst of cheering from the vast assembly. A circle was immediately formed, and a picket of the Guards, stationed on' the hill to protect the com bustible materiel for ihe fireworks already arrived there, very kindly lent one of the artillery waggons for the use of the committee and the shelter of the band. A member of the committee of the Working Men's So ciety of London, who were all distinguished by a small slip of blue ribbon attached to the button-hole, addressed a few observations to those assembled, congratulating them that, although the Government had not thought fit at present to favour the people with the re-introduction of the mili tary bands in the parks and Kensington-gardens, yet that they had very wisely and most considerately not chosen to interfere with the rights and expressed wishes of the people in providing their own bands. There was no interference with them on the part of the police. It was felt by the Go vernmenfthat the people would in this instance be their own police, and he urged upon all assembled to prove to the Government that they were worthy of the confidence reposed in them. (The sentence was received with ap plause.) The speaker then read the following, which had been extensively distributed in a printed form amongst the people : " NOTICE—The committee for the public demonstration in favour of the Sunday bands, finding it impossible for human voice to reach so large an assembly, have resolved upon the following means of obtaining the opinion of the meeting : At five o'clock precisely a union jack will be raised on the top of the hill, when all persons who are favourable to the accom panying resolution will raise their hands : Resolution, 4 That the people now in public meeting as sembled consider the music in parks, established by Sir Ben jamin Hall, to be au innocent and healthful recreati in, regret its sudden discontinuance, and hope it may be speedily re newed.' " The second demonstration will (if necessary) be in Hyde park on Sunday next, June 1, at four o'clock. The band then commenced, amidst the most profound silence, playing, as an opening, "Martin Luther's Hymn.' The ballad of " Annie Laurie" followed, then the "Hun dredth Psalm'," some lively music, and, as a finale to the first part, immediately prior to the hoisting of the union jack, "Rule Britannia." Several attempts at B,p• planse were made, but it was checked by cries of " Order, order," emanating from the vast body of the assemblage. At five o'clock, on the conclusion of " Rule Britannia," the flag was hoisted, and at the same moment nearly every hand i in the vast concourse of persons assembled was raised in approbation of the resolution they hal had submitted to them. The band csntinned to play until six o'clock, terminating their performance with "God save the Queen." The people then dispersed in the greatest order. SUNDAY BEGREATION FOR THE PEOPLE. GLORIOUS DEMONSTRATION AT LEEDS. Yesterday (Sunday) in conformity with an announce ment made during the week by a committee formed for the purpose of giving the working-classes of Leeds the opportunity of breathing fresh wholesome air on Wood house Moor (one of the most salubrious places in the neighbourhood of Leeds) a very efficient wind instrument band played a selection of music from two until half past four o'clock in the afternoon. About 20,000 well dressed and respectable-looking people attended, and evinced, not only by their pleasant countenances bui also by the orderly manner in which they conducted themselves, the happiness they enjoyed. Several ma gistrates and many of the leading inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood were present—Mr. Edward Baines (the same gentleman who proposed three groans for the Queen some years ago) was not present, but the representatives of his paper were, and they will no doubt inform him that though he and other sectarian and narrow-minded professors of religion may, for a while, have influenced the Prime Minister of-England to put down a great moral principle is his own native town, they have brought about a demonstration in fa vour of innocent amusement; on the Sunday, which it would otherwise have taken years to have accomplished. Let it then go through the length and breadth of the land that Leeds has taken up a great movement, which will be followed throughout the kingdom. So long as , the people conduct themselves with order and propriety there is no doubt of sucee--s. Many thousands yesterday enjoyed the pure atmo sphere with their, wives and families on Woodhouse Moor, who would otherwise have been poring over the columns of the Leeds M ercury, in the ale house. The Sabbatarians attended in small numbers, and the Rev. Mr. Aitken held forth to e small knot of them. We question the propriety of Mr. Aitken's conduct in plac ing his rostrum so near the orchestra ; if he wanted to ',pout, why did he not go further away ? Most pro bably he wished to make his audience larger than it really was. Not the slightest accident or irregularit) occurred, with the exception that one of Mr. Aitken's iiteners was caught in the act of taking his next neigh bour's pocket-handkerchiefs ! The people conducted themselves most admirably. Next Sunday two bands are engaged, and a committee has been appointed for the selection of the music to be played. Thi people are determined to follow the example set by her Majesty the Queen, and to enjoy music on the Sunday afternoon in their own park (Woodhouse Moor being a place of public resort.) The immense assemblage dis persed soon after half-past four, and when Mr. Edward Baines and his family would go over the moor in hi " hired Sunday cab" (as is his custom morning and even ing to his dissenting chapel), he would observe (whilst lac was breaking the Fourth Commandment) that the people had quietly dispersed to their several homes, or to attend a place of Divine worship.

RICHARD MAINE. Metropolitan Polico-oface May 23,1856. THE GREAT IYROUGHT-IRON OUN LIVERPOOL, SATURDA.Y._ The continued expqriments with Messrs. fall's immense wrought-iron gun, under the Mr perintendence of Captain Vandeleur, of tl e Royal Gun Factory, Woolwich, were of th e most important and interesting description. Th e p comprised nine roun Is, all w ith p o wd e r &largo °r 251 b. The first round, with a ball weighing 2821 be was fired against a target (at a distance of I ` 2o yards), composed of an iron plate, 3 feet 9 ineb e ,; by 3 feet and 41 inches in thickness of se h forged iron, being exactly similar to the .plate! which encase the fl oa ti ng b a tt er i es , a nd whics aro considered impregnable. The plate Is re : fixed against nine balks o f ti m b er , e ach 1)3 1 , strutted by strong pl a nk s , an d the o ' ll° l buried in a bank of sand. The plate where the bP struck was shattered to pieces, the ball itself broke° to fragments, and the timber behind splintered ink chips. One fragment of the plate, weighing a" ti cwt., was carried 80 yards beyond the targetl another, weighing more than 1 cwt., to a distance o 220 yards, and one of the huge balks of timber launched on end to the distance of 100 yards. 9 plate which formed this target, and which weigh upwards of a ton, was manufactured at the Mers e i Works in less than 7 hours. The remainder of OP experiments on Fridaay comprised the firing a t i target, formed of a barrel surmounted by a flag st ' l and placed at a distance of 2,000 yards. The fir' round aimed at this object was with a ball 2 821) weight, and at an elevation of 6 1-3 d degree ,) The shot was in good line, but carried rather t l far. The recoil was 2 ft. 8 in. The second row; was at the same elevation, and with:the same weig ht of ball. This went very close to the target, and ,y recoil was 2 ft. 9 in. In the third round the fell rather short, but was very close to the tergl recoil 2ft. 3iin. In the fourth di sc h arge the hi' alighted within a yard of the target ; recoil, 2ft. li' ) In the fifth the ball fell 10 yards short, and t vl4 , yards to the left of the target ; sixth, 10 Yom` over the target, and a little to the left ' • s even:i so near that to the range party the ball appea r to strike the mark ; eighth, apparently file Ya r o short and a little to the left. The last disco r .:, on Friday was at long range, at an eievatri of 124 degrees, and it is estimated that the carried to the istance of about 5,000 yards. Ti t concluded what Major Aitcheson, who was prel described as " the most splendid practice whie,h,, bad ever seen." The experinient on this ana„' 4 previous days were pronounced by the mil" a ' gentlemen present as'eminently satisfactory. To-day (Saturday) the experiments were resuow: in the presence of an immense concourse of er, i tors, including the whole of Messrs. Horsfalei workmen (nearly 1,000), who had been gran t , a holiday for the occasion, and conveyed int, special train at their employer's exPen se 4 tae ground. 16 rounds were fired at the tars with comparatively light charges, and ra t ', for the purpose of display and amusement t h t for serious test, the capabilities of the „out' h nA g f ng been satisfactorily demonstrated on before the gentlemen from the Ordnance DeP s i went, ' and again on Friday. . One of the mos t ; 1 markable and gratif ) ing features connected w r the experiments, in a military as well as a °p tific point of view, consists in the fact ti notwithstanding the number and rapidity 0 1 discharges, the gun presents not the slightest sca,, or mark from the friction of the cast-iron WI The windage, we were informed, too, by s° l3l° e the military officers present, is very m all, be'', only about 13 100ths, instead of the ordiaa 2-10 the. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The " fourth-rate Paris dealer," Herr Miladler, is now in London. As an Englishman who has to pay for the maintenance of English institutions, I demand that this Coburg represen tative of English connoisseurship on the Continent at I,OUO/. a year be called upon to produce the " dingy and bedaubed Bolognese copy' which Mr. Morris Moore has repeatedly declared that that German did his best to fasten upon us, some years ago, as an original and important work by Cor reggio. No one can venture to deny the fairness of Mr. Morris Moore's proposal, that a council of men of acknowledged connoisseurship and character be appointed to pronounce upon the merits of that work. 2 Previous to the hanging of the daub, which Puna neatly dubbed " The Adoration of the Magi, but of nobody the " Herr Mill:idler loudly boasted in Paris that ho had: secured for the Eng lish National Gallery a first-rate Paul Veronese. Since he learned what sort of reception this " first rate Paul Veronese" had met with here, ho as loudly repudiates all connection with its purchase, and transfers his share of glory to Sir C. Eastlake, whom lie declares to be wholly responsible. At the same time Herr Miladler is " enclianti, s that the ignorant fall upon him in the English journals." The old apothegm about " honour " amon g " gen tlemen " of a certain craft appears to find little favour with German nominees and incanables, when responsibility can be shirked at the expense of an associate. Herr Mindler's presence at the National Gal fiery affords one of the most flagrant instances yet experienced of the pernicious influence exercised by Prince Albert. It is a standing insult to every Englishman of spirit, and renders England au ob ject of reproach and derision to the world. Yours obediently, May 25. N. T. WALTER. MORE ROYAL VISITS. We understand the Prince of Prussia, father 'of Prince Frederick William, at present the guest of her Majesty at this Court, may be expected to visit this country in the course of a few weeks.

Yacht racing open boats, cutters, and gigs will all compete, and a large number of prizes are to be given. The waters of the haven will afford ample room for the sport. CONVEYANCE OF THE ARMY FROM VIE CRIMEA.— On Saturday the Lords of the Admiralty communicated to Lloyd's that the following fleet of merchantmen bad been chartered by the Government for the purpose of expediting the removal of the British troops from the 'Crimea. All of them are first class vessels, with most ample accommodation, and have undergone special sur vey :—Lady Valiant, White Eagle, Rajasthan, Edward, ewer de Linn, Man g erton, Acadia, Sultana, Blanche, Pedestrian, ThomasHankey, jun., Mary Ann, Ner• wood, Calliope, Tudor, Heroes of Alma, Golconda, Alma, Rhoa Sylvia, W. Jackson, and Typhoon. COURT-MARTIAL.—At a general court-martial, held at Camp, near Sebastopol, on the 7th day of May, Private James Lithgoe, 47th Regiment, was tried on the follow ing charge :—For having at Camp, Sebastopol, on or about the llth (hey of December, 1854, deserted to the enemy, from tho head-quarters of the 47th Regiment, and for not having returned until on or about the 18th of April, 1856, of which charge the Court found the prisoner guilty. Sentence—the Court having found the prisoner guilty of the charge preferred against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, and hav ing received evidence of his previous convictions and of his general very bad character, do now adjudge him, the prisoner, to be transported an a felon for the term of his natural life.—Approved and confirmed by W. J. Cod rington, General Commanding. CANTERBURY HALL.—The enterprising lessee, Mr. Morton, announces a grand morning concert for Thurs day next at this well-conducted establishment. He has all the materials for affording great entertainment to the audience ; and, judging front what he provides at his ordinary meetings, we cannot doubt that be wid amply succeed in his new attempt. The programme is exceedingly well chosen—the artistes pains-taking and efficient—the hall beautifully fitted up—every conve nience afforded to the visitors, and "the creature com forts" supplied perfectly unexceptionable. With such elements of success the experiment must produce au spicous results. We, however, hope that the public will not take our word, but judge for themselves. If they do, we know that our verdict will be confirmed without a single dissentient voice. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY.—On Saturday last, the 24th inst., at about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, a fatal accident occurred to the keeper on the railway gates, across the highway frpm Deping to Stamford, at the Tallingtou station of the Great Northern Railway. It appears that a pilot e ngine was coming down the line, over the crossing, and the gate-keeper, believing that the engine could not pass without striking the, gates, inched across the line to close them, but, unfortunately, having dono so, he was unable to get out of the way of the engine, which knocked. him down, and killed him on the spot. The unfortunate man was immediately con veyed to the Cavendish Arms Inn, Tallingtou, where an inquest was held before Mr. William Edwards, coroner, and a verdict in accordance with the above facts was returned. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIPE'S SISTER.—A report has just been issued by the House of Lords on the marriage law question with respect to marriage with a deceased wife's sister. The committee discuss the question at considerable length, and present the several aspects in which it may be viewed. They are of opi nion that the statute of William ,against marriages within the affinities specified has tailed in its object. They believe' that the marriages prohibited by the law are carried on to a considerable extent, but in con sequence of the secrecy observed no return can be obtained. The committee do not recommend any legislative enactment, either permissive or prohibitory, on the subject, but leave the question, with the re- , port and the evidence, to the wisdom of Parliament. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Lyons journals contain long details of the triumphal entry of the division of General de Failly into that city on their return from the Crimea. They were met at some little distance from the city by M. Vaisse, senator and administrator of the department, accompanied by the mayors and other public functionaries ; the members of the Council- General ; the Chamber of Commerce ; and the other constituted bodies. Marshal de Castellane with his staff and a numerous escort were also pre sent. All these high personages had assembled under a large tent erected for the occasion. When the head of the division appeared, General de Failly halted in front of the tent, and in a few ap propriate words expressed his thanks for the recep tion given to his men by, the city of Lyons. M. Vaisse replied in suitable terms, assuring the general and his brave division of the warm feel ings of the inhabitants towards them. The Marshal then took up his position in front of the tent, and the division marched past amidst shouts of " Vive l'Empereur !" " Vivo l'Armee !" Many of the officers and soldiers marched with difficulty from fatigue and the wounds which they had received. The general carried a large crown of flowers and laurels, all the officers had bouquets in their hands, which had been presented to them, and most of the soldiers carried flowers stuck in the muzzle of their guns. A public subscription has been opened at Lyons for the purpose of giving a grand banquet to the officers of the division, and also fur giving an entertainment to the men. A correspondent Writes from Carlsruhe, It is with great pleasure that I inform you that his Royal Highness the Regent of Baden is about to proceed, in a day or two, to England to pay a visit to Queen Victoria. In compliance Nyith the pressing invitations of her Majesty, his Royal Highness in tends making a stay of some length at the court of England, where he will meet Prince Frederic Wil liam of Prussia, and t*e part in the family rejoic ings and festivities on the occasion of an approach ing liappy event. His Royal Highness, who is per fectly conversant with the English language and litera ture, will make a long tour through our beautiful island and the sister kingdom, and without doubt he will be everywhere received, not only as a sovereign, but as one of those rare and accomplished individuals who combine the character of the ruler and the accomplished gentleman —as one to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude for the uniform courtesy and protection which he affords to all our countrymen who visit his dominions, and more especially his beautiful city of Baden-Baden, where by his liberality every facility is given to the regular per formance of the English church service, which he fre quently attends in person. Similar advantages are con templated here, as soon as there shall be a sufficient number of English residents. In mind and person he is a striking resemblance of his celebrated ancestor Charles Frederic, in his time known as the Nestor of the Ger man princes, but still more so, by his admiration for the laws and institutions of England, in consequence of which he was the first German prince who abolished 'servitude, and laid the foundation for constitutional go vernment. His Royal Highness intends during his tour to visit the seats of learning, the principal manu facturing towns, and to gain an insight into the immense progress of the arts and sciences as exhibited in our commercial, civil, and military establishments."

We have received files of papers from Sydney to the Ist of March inclusive. We take the following from the Sydney Morning Herald of the lat of March : "The western escort arrived this morning with 1,614 oz. 6 dwts. 22 grs. gold dust. This is more than the usual average. The increase no doubt arises from the new diggings at the Ophir, which has been sold at the Tambaroora, Sofala, and Bathurst. " The advance in the exchange will cause a much larger quantity of gold to be forwarded to Sydney. Many of the diggers are holding for higher rates. "The market has been extremely dull, little o ff er ing, and scarcely any received by post and private hands. The demand will be greater for shipment to England. " The report of gold having been discovered at New Caledonia , is proloably correct. I have little doubt that not only will it be found in large quan tities there, but likewise at the Feejee Islands. During a residence in those islands I saw in the beds of the mountain creeks sand very similar to the black sandl of the Ovens gold-fields. I compared them on my arrival in Sydney, and found a very trifling difference. " The quotations are without alteration. " Exchange, 3 per cent. prem. PRICHS.

TEE CARLTON CLUB. One of the larc•est meetings ever known at the Ca, ton Club took place on Saturday—the Marquis of S 3, bury in the chair. Above 300 mem b e rs were presrei The object which attracted so c o ns id era ble a body Conservative party was the resolutions moved by '" Ranelagh to the following effect That this club was established for political prirpoc "2. That the political principles on which this club established are entirely adverse to those advocated by present Government. " 3. That the active presence in this club of gentle who have altered their political views, and been norf of the present Government—to which Government Conservative party have been in direct opposition --- '? jurious to the int ,rests of the Conservative party, and is variance with the principles upon, and for which, club was established." It appears that the gentlemen, to whom this nOt l 4 , if carried, would immedi a t e ly ,a pply, are t h e Des Wellington, Master of the Horse ; the Earl of H ar row.. Lord Privy Seal ; Sir R. Peel, Lord of the Adroira l ,t and Lords Sydney and E.

He expressed a hope that they sv ,. ° l4 hereafter return to their party, bat till then abstain entering the club: Col. B. Krrox seconded the motion. Mr. G. BENTINCK then moved an amendment, tiler,' port of which was to include all members of the club had held office under Lord Aberdeen's Governm e nt. a , argued that the coalition of th ese p ersons with Ll r e Russell's followers in D ec ., 1852, with the success -I 'ol ject of ejecting Lord Derby, was a sufficient bar to il ti being considered Conservative, in the sense in wh ic , Carlton was establi s h e d, an d t h at t h ey oug ht to b ea r volved within Lord Ranel ag h' s reso l ut i ons .

The noble earl alluded espe c ';,,,a those who during Lord Derby's Government '" l u members of the Carlton not scrupled systemat ic :0 6 °, - write in the newspapers against it. This obNe' b . co"; produced an exploilion of cheers, which by t he- e eti 6 tinuation and violence made it evident that the ° 1 applied the words to some particular person.
