The Congress has Molest concluded its le - tours for the time being, and it is more than probable that the several Plenipotentiaries will before the end of:the, week have started on their homeward journey% It is only, however, a temporary ar rangement, for several C entnissions have been appointed, the reports whereof may give rise to considerable discussion and cliff3rences. It reported, on. the authority of a generally well informed contemporary, that the important ques tion of the fiee navigation of the Danube has beet, referred to a Commission named by all the Powers represented at the Congress. That there is a similar Commission as to the domestic govern ment of the Danubian Principalities, and the arrangement, of - the new- frontiers, save that Piedmont has been excluded from taking any part therein. And. a third to consider the pisi tion of the Christian subjects of the Porte. These ire matters that will require consider able titne and labour before satisfactory solu tions can, be , arrived at, even suppos i ng that all partiesare 4tettitted by a bona fide determina• tion to act in a straightf o rward and equ it a bl e manner. As, ^ however, we cannot help feeling very seriou s donAti nit that part of the case, we should not l '' e -gr!ma.r surprised if serious diffictil ties should arise,}e„quir.ing new Conferences, and possibly leadin g , to. fresh tilities. - com plications and hos - lions , It may be premature to discuss the te rms o f the Treaty - until th e y h ave been offiejaii Y commu nicated to the public. But the necessity has been occAsioned b y the' unjustifiable and unco nititU_ Coma' mysteryobServed, and the attempt to d e . pr;re the --. .ritish=• Parliament of one of its most imp?rtant , functi ons . It is ridiculous to say that .the People, who so cheerfully and liberallyprovided for all the enormous expen diture occasioned by . the War, have no right to interfere in the- terms and elnditions on which it has been terminated. Before any ratification on every part of th e case, an d the part o f E ng l an d, all its multifariOns details, should be subtnitted both Rouses; and the studial n-glect of that imperative a -0y must be regarded as a gross and enwarrantable.insult to the co-ordinate branches of the Legislaturean attempt to degrade them, and to unduly extend : the powers and prerogativet, of the Crown. Sufficient has, h owever, leaked nut to enable u. 4 to know that the •Stipulatioas already agreed on can net by any p be agreeable to the English People.

We have already seer, that the greater portion of the work for which the Conferences were inaugurated has been transferred to Commissioners, and it is impos sible to say what may be the results of their labours. Scarcely anything has been finally set tled, save that France and England are to relin quish their irresistible claims to indemnities for the expenses of the War, and that Austria and Prussia have been suffered to regain the posi tions which they forfeited by their own culpable misconduct. ,t 4 nf Meanwhile there is great discontent in many parts of Turkey. The standard of revolt has been raised, and both Christians and Mahomedans are alike discontented at the changes that have taken place. The former have been deprived of the highly-prized exemption from military service. A rigorous conscription will be forced on them to which they had never hitherto been subjected, _ and this by way of being a privilege and a favour, just as great a one, by the way, as the press gangs offered in the olden time to our seafaring men. They will also be deprived of the privilege of selecting their own spiritual rulers, who are henceforward to be nominated by the DIVAN. The Mahomedans are equally disgusted at being compelled to servo side by side with Christians in opposition to their religious principles. The result will be a rancorous hatred springing up between the rival sects, that will render them ex ceedingly formidable to each other, although by no means so to any enemy against whom they may be opposed. While matters remain in this unsettled state, will it be possible for England to relax her pre parations or to receive the benefits of a real peace ? We fear not. We fancy that the heavy expendi ture will be continued for an indefinite period, until all outstanding difficulties have been over come; while we can derive no possible benefit from any course save that of a renewal of the War, after having surrendered all the advantages so painfully acquired. Well may the people of England be dissatisfied ; well may they look with disgust at what has taken place, which has given nothing to England save, perhaps, a Prussian husband for one of her Royal Princesses, and the possibility of the future government of the country being transacted under a German viceroy. Ali' this may occasion joy at Coburg, but it will excite disgust and indignation in every English breast. A commemorative monument is about to be erected in the county of Durham, in grateful re cognition of the many eminent services done to the State during a long life-time by the late distinguished Marquis of LONDONDERRY. By a curious coincidence, and one in itself sufficiently significant, within the very same week during the course of which the public meeting was convened in the Town-hall of the city of Durham, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of raising a substantial testimonial of respect to the memory of CHARLES WILLIAM, third Marquis of LONDONDERRY, 'there was given upon Chilton Moor, within the limits of the sarne shire, by the Lefict of that Lamented nobleman, a banquet of a peculiar kind, and one in many respects quite unexampled in its magnificence. A monster dinner, at which no less then three thousand stalwart Pitmen were regaled upon good old English fare by a lady at once their Mis tress and their Hostess, the present Marchioness Dowager of LONDONDERP.Y. " Itnagine,r says a local journal in recording the circumstance of these remark tble festivities, "Imagine a bill of fare to the extent of eight fat bullocks, fifteen sheep, a ton of plum-pudding, a ton and a half of bread, fifty barrels of strong beer, and a hundred bushels of potatoes." Imagine it indeed ! It is like a banquet in the land of Br - olylignag. It was some thing worthier than this, however. It was seine thieg better than an occasion for so much guttling Lnd guzzling by three thousand sturdy fellows, , eated at thirty tables in a large hall, some two hundred feet by seventy is its dimen- It was an evidence of good-will etween employers and employed, of genial nterest on the one part and of grateful Lttaeliment on the other, of a perfectly amiable and satis:actory understanding between a conspi cuous representative of Property and three qiousand substantial representatives of hearty and honest Toil quite delightful to con template in these days of Strikes, and Tiffs, and Squabbles between Maters and Men, residues may he of the lamentable ferment provoked a score of years ago by the abuninable Tomtny-shops of the ever-detestable and thoroughly iniquitous fruck-system. It rejoices one's heart to pause awhile over the particulars of a gathering like that brought about by the munificence and bene volence, the frank and hospitable magnanimity of 1 1 generous and gentle-hearted woman such as the Lady of Wynward, the Hostess of Chilton Moor, the owner of the Durham Collieries, the Mistress of these three thousand Pitmen, FRANCES , INIT'z Marchioness o f L ONDONDERRY. It was n perfect kef3pinn moreover, with the whole festivities, that the lady-hostess herself should take a personal and conspicuous share in the en tertainment ----,that she herself, with her own lips ;not through any spokesman, however nearly rebated, net even through the mouth of her son tha Earl VANE, then at her left hand, presiding over the meeting as its Chairman), bid her guests w , elcome, and by a few earnest words coming directly from her heart, and going straight to the irs, evidence her conscientious recognition of the, heavy responsibilities weighing upon her in ilel capa,eity as the appointed guardian of their I brielnghts: of th e i r energ i es, of t h e i r p h ysical well and of their social happiness.

His personal prowess wa; frequently displayed elsewhere, but never more conspicuously than during the famous battle of Fuentes d'Onore (May 5, 1811), when, as the classic Historian of the War himself records, " General CHARLES STEWART, joining in the charge, took the French Colonel L A.MOTTE, fighting hand to hand.' (Narrna's Perlin. War, book xii. ch. v.) An in cident celebrated no less pointedly by the Euro pean Annalist, Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON ()fist. Eur. ch. S. 92.) As for the diplomatic achieve ments of the late Marquis Of LONDONDERRY, they, too, are inscribed in imperishable characters upon the tablets of history, those memorable and romantic annals which recount the Down rall of the Great NAPOLEON. It was—AusoN himself tells us in his record of the events which matked the close of 1813—it was by reason of " the able and courteous deals of Sir CHARLES STEWART" afterwards Marquis of LONDONDERRY, aided by those of General Count Pozzo DI BORGO, that BERNADOTTE, at a most critical juncture, was "retained during the campaign in a course in conformity with the objects of the alliance." (Hist. Eur. ch. lxxix. S. 42.) It was through Sir CHARLES STEWA RT'S personal remonstrances that, at last, during that same momentous campaign, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of SWEDEN, that same tricky ex-Jacobin, ex-Frenchman, ex every thing 'good, bad, and indifferent, BERNA DOTTE, was at length induced to bring his troops on the 16th of October to Landsburg, and on the 17th to the heights of Beitenfeld. An important occurrence at that period, and one which was actually brought about by a letter of remonstrance addressed to the Crown Prince by Sir CHARLES STEWART, then accredited as the British Plenipotentiary in the north of Germany— a letter " penned with respect, but militaryfrank ness, and breathing a warm but not undeserved spirit of patriotic iadignation."—(Hist. Eur. ch. lxxxi., s. 48.) A letter so bold indeed and out sp-Acen in its language that BERNADOTTE, in the true fashion of a Gascon, could not help resenting it a short time afterwards by thus gasconading with a vapoury flourish as they encountered—" Com ment, General STEWART ! quel droit avez vous de m'ecrire ? Ne rapellez vous pas que je suis Prince du Sue le, un des plus graads generaux de Cage Et si vous etiez ama place, que penseriez vous si quelqu'un vous ecrivait comme vous in' avez eorit ? " In fine, it was in consequence of tho vigilant and sleepless watchfulness of the English Military. Plenipotentiary, Sir CH ARLES STEWART (who again employed very successful and most energetic remonstrances to the end that BERNADOTTE might not play false to the Allies at a juncture of extraordinary emergency) that the PRINCE ROYAL of Sweden was, in spite of himself as it were, compelled at last to abandon alto gether the project of allowing DAYOUST and the garrison of Hamburg the opportunity for escaping try means of a capitulation. "And thus," says ALISON in recounting this latter circumstance, " the same eminent and patriotic officer, who, by his moral courage on the eve of the battle of Leip;ic, had gained for the Allies the decisive advantage of bringing the PRINCE-ROYAL'S army up to the charge on that eventful day, now rendered to his country the not less important service of preventing a capitu lation which, by restoring twenty-five thousand veteran troops to the standards of NAPOLEON, might have entirely changed the fate of the War next spring in France."--(Hist. Eur., ch. lxxxii., s. 39) Sueb, in brief, are among the more conspicuous achievements recorded in regard to Sir CHA R LES STEWART, afterwards third Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in his twofold position as a Soldier and as a Diplomatist. The Peaceful Labours which marked the latter portion of Lord LONDONDERRY'S lifetime are—we cannot but think it—yet more memorable, yet more remarkable, yet more eminently entitled to some public tribute of grateful and honourable commemoration. They were achievements so re markable, and we believe we do not exafNerate when we add, so entirely unparalleled as the achieve ments of a single individual, that they elicited s'.me years back from no less important a person age than Sir ROBERT PEEL, speaking authorita tively as the Prime Minister of England, a pane gyric in every way very notable. What were a few of these home enterprises, of these purely pacific and industrial achievements ? They in clude the digging out of a Harbour upon a barren and rocky coast, and the building up of a Town now numbering within it very nearly five thousta.id inhabitants—the town and harbour of Seaham, henceforth Lord LONDONDERRY'S most enduring monument ! They include, moreover, these peaceful labours towards the close of his career, the daring project of an entire Railway —a passenger line—t work unexampled before or since as the undertaking of a single individual, as an enter prise from first to last his own pri tette property—the railroad for goods and pas sengers now uniting Siahain with Sunderland. Besides all this, the princely originator and promo ter of these gigantic undertakings had to conduct the working of a Colliery Property known to be the largest anywhere in the possession of a single family, a property extendieg over an area of some 12,000 acres, producing upon an average 1,000,000 tons of coals per annum, and neces sitating the disbursement every year in wages alone, exclusiveof contracts, of no less a sum than 135,0001. sterling. With an earnest view to the social and intellectual well-being of the thou sands of " families" thus employed in connection with the Harbour, with the Town, with the Col lieries, with the Railway, schools have been erected, churches endowed, everything that in genuity could well devise or munificence rapidly accomplish, Durham has witnessed, long since slat on foot by the late Marquis, and very re cently in several instanced happily completed by iris relict the Mtrchioness Dawager of LONDON j'ERRy. Hence—remembering all these things, remembering the exploits of the Soldier in Holland and in the Peninsula, on the Heights of Busaco and in the hand to-hand en- C muter of Fuentes d'Onore ; remembering the brilliant successes of the diplomatist in 1813 in :egard to the eve of Leipsic and in reference ta' the garrison of Hamburg ; above all be aring in mind his "more beneficent and, in every way, more remarkable achievements of a pacific character—the town and harbour of Seaham, the railway from Seaham to Sunderland, the col lieriea, the schools, the churches, those products at once of daring enterprise and personal munifi cenc—we cannot but deem the late lamented Marquis of LONDONDERRY one who, in truth, "deserved well of his country " in very many particulars. We cannot but regard his memory ''s an object very worthy, indeed, of a public raonumeutal couimemoration.

PARIS, APRIL 16. The sittings of the Congress terminated to-day. The members were occupied with questions of de- tail in reference to-- 1. The free navigation of the Dinube ; 2. The iuterior r'gime of the Principalities, and the arrangement of the frontiers ; 3. The situation of the Christians in Turkey. For these purposes three commissions are ap pointed : 1. A commission, named byall the Powers repre sented at the Congress, on the subject 01 the Danube ; 2. A commission*, named by all the Powers ex cept Piedmont, on the frontier question ; 3. A commission, named by all the Powers, with the addition of delegates from the Divan, to consider_ the position of the Christians. PARIS, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 8 A.M. The Moniteur announces that the Congress of Paris has terminated iti labours. The closing sitting was held yesterday at the Hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. After the signing of the treaty, the Plenipo tentiaries had still to occupy themselves with different questions of a nature to consolidate and complete the work of peace. The ratifications will Ise exchanged at the end of the month. Immediately after the promulgation of the general treaty the protocols will be published, and will make known the labours of the Congress in heir detail. INSURRECTION IN BULGARIA. PARIS, APRIL 16. A telegraphic despatch announces that an in surrection has broken out at Belgradchick, in Bul- garia, near the Servian frontier. A Bulgarian, formerly an officer in the Russian service, professes an intention to expel the Turks in the name of Russia. He is at the head of two or three hundred men. OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. SEBASTOPOL, April I.—The wintry weather, which was ex.eing its retarding influence on many mat ters in the camps when the last mail left, has not yet ceased, notwithstanding the advanced period of the season. The extension of the armistice has been ffirmally announced in General Orders. No date for its duration is mentioned ; the suspension of hostilities is to continue until further orders. The French have constructed an enormous salte a danser in the Balaklava valley, between the Fe dioukine heights and Canroberes-hill. It is in a convenient situation to be approached, near the Woronz.Zroad as. it turns to ascend towards the position of the Sardinian encampments and Ka mara. The opening ball is to take place to-night, and invitations have beer . l issued to all the English ladies and English officers in the Crimea. Crlonel M'Murdo has returned in good health and resumed the command of the Land Transport Corps. Among the recent arrivals is -also M. Soyer. He came by the Ottawa, three days since, after a very stormy passage from Constantinople. It is ru moured in the French camps that the Russians have received news of the peace negotiations having been brought to a favourable conclusion. 1 ra. 11.4 93; Krt , olei- , 11, It, 88 ; O 1; Compta, R 85 11, 75 't) 77.

A large amount of tonnage has lately arrived, but the whole has been freely taken up. PALoIITTA, March B.—lndigo has been in goOd in quiry, and there has been some competition for snveral lots at an advance of about 6d per lb on the October price. Raw silk basalso engaged good inquiry, conse quent on the news from home and China. In imports a fair amount of business has been done in mule Twist, coloured cottons, grey shirtings, and jacco nets. The market continues inactive for all other de scriptions of cottons, woollens, and metals. The pacific aspect of politics has made no great effect In the. money market. In the Bazaar supplies are pro eurable as reported in our last review, on more reason able terms than those of the Banks. Government Se curities have slightly improved, and are readily dis countable at 5 and 6 per cent. per annum. The Bank of Bengal has reduced 1 per cent, on discount of Go vernment acceptances. Exchange.--After the departure of the last mail, the exchange had ice up a little ; but it has since taken a downward tendency, and• it is now difficult to procure first-claSs (six Months) paper at better than 2- , 2-id to 2s 2ii-; and these rates are not likely to be maintained, as far as we can judge from present appearances. Freights, on the first news of peace, were fur some days almost at a stand still, but after a while some transactions were entered into which established a de cline of 103 to 15s per ton. Lately some heavy arrivals have made shippers hold back again, and at closing business'is very bull at our quotations. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, APRIL s. —Said Pasha has during the, last few days been rushing about the country in the most fanciful manner. His Highness first started from Alexandria at the utmost speed of the railway to look at his new toy, a palace on , the banks of the Nile, which he has purchased from one of his nephews for 150,0001. sterling; thence he proceeded to the barrage of the Nile, where he is erect i ng extensive fortifications, which can never be of any use ; then he came down the Nile to Cafr-el-Ais, whence lie summoned, by electric telegraph from Alexandria, an accession of troops to the 2,000 cavalry and infantry he al ways takes about him. At Cafr-el-Ais he expressed his intention of going to the great fair of Tantah, in the Delta, which was then taking place, but changed his mind, and went down the Nile to Atfeh, where some measures are finally to be taken for the deepening of the canal. From Atfeh he re turned to Cafr-el-Ais, and went to Tantah, where he spent a couple of days, and had the dancing girls to perform in his presence. Suddenly he gave orders to take down all the tents, and, mounting on horseback, he started in the direction of the railway station, where prepara tions were hurriedly made to receive his highness, but he said he was not going by the railway, and proceeded down the line. The train started, and soon overtook his highness, who immediately called out to the engine -driver to stop. The viceroy dis mounted, and, on the plea of unwillingness to dis turb the passengers, his gets on to the locomotive, sits on the coke, and i 5 now in Alexandria. The working of the railway between Alexandria and Cairo is often interrupted by Said Pasha's hasty movements and the constant conveyance of his troops. Delays and disorders frequently occur, and the only reply that his Highness makes to any observation on the subject is, that the railroad is entirely his own—that he must be served first, and the transit afterwards. Several robberies of specie and of goods have again occurred, and the com plaints of the lack of system and vigilance are loud and frequent. The Alahmoodich Canal being closed to navi gation the railway is almost the only means the I merchants have of bringing their goods to Alexan dria, and though the charges are enormous, no care is taken of their property. Last week a train that was bringing to Alexandria 20 trucks, with 1,100 bales of cotton, caught fire, and the whole was com pletely destroyed, the cotton being placed on tile :rucks without any precaution to save it from the sparks of fire from the, engine. Lord Dalhousie, late Governor-General of India, arrived at Suez, in the East India Company's steamer Feroze, on the 2tl inst., and will proceed to Europe, on the 7th or Bth inst., in her Majesty's steamer Caradoc. SPAIN. • TH 141 INSURRECTION AT VALENCIA. The Madrid journals of the 9th and 10th of April contain details of the insurrection at Va lencia. In the morning of the 6th, whilst the munici pality was proceeding to draw for the conscription, a numerous body of insurgents rushed in, crying : " Down with the authorities ! No conscription 1" and, amidst threats of death to the members of the municipality, proceeded to break the urns. The alcade, M. Eszribe, who attempted to restore order, was fired at several times, and was mira cu l ous ly preserved by a se r j ean t of? the civil guard. The insurgents were head e d b y fi remen and national guards, but were fur the most part labourers from the railway. After expelling the mayor and his colleagues from the building, the insurgents pro ceeded to the Plaza San Francisco. Th captain general, hearing of what had taken place, published a bando, but as it produced no effect, be marched against the insurgents at the head of a column of 200 infantry, 50 cavalry, and 4 pieces of artillery. The insurgents, who were in the balconies and windows, received him with a sharp fire, which caused .hiin some loss, and he fired his cannon against them ; but the insurgents resisted despe rately, and bands of them spread over the city and attacked several guard-houses. After three hours' combat, in which the cavalry took part, the insur gents were dislodged from the houses, and were compelled to retreat. The number of killed and wounded on both sides was about 40 ; and it is now said that amongst the slain were six —not, as at first stated, three—soldiers and a lieutenant. This account difrars in some respects from the following, given in a B arce l ona paper, the Pro gresso, of the 10th. This paper says that the in surgents erected a barricade in the Calle de Carni cores, and that 300 of them defended it with such energy that it was not carried without "„real both amongst them and the troops. It says also that their rallying cry w as " Vive Espartero Vivo liberty !" General Villalonga the captain general of the city an d province, published, on the 7th, an addiess to the National Guard, exhorting them to co-operate with the troops in preserv ing order. On the Bth a military commission was instituted, and 130 insurgents captured with arms in their hands had been taken before it. The greater part were sent to the fort of Murviedo; the others were detained to be otherwise dealt with. Troops arrived in the city from Barcelona on the 9th, and others had been despatched from Madrid. T;te last telegraphic accounts published in the !gazette announced that tranquillity continued, bu t that groups, displaying considerable agitation, persisted in remaining in the streets. The (gazette publishes the decree, dated the 9th, which, as stated by telegraph, removes General .Viga longa from the captaincy-general of Valencia; and another which appoints General de Zebala, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the post, with the powers of a special commissioner of the Govern ment, Marshal O'Donnell, Minister of War, being charged with the administration of the foreign de partment during his absence. A report was cur rent in the capital that the troops of the garrison of Madrid had been kept in their barracks owing to the fear of disturbances ; but the Epoca says that it was not true. A grand review of about 39,000 of the garrison and National Guard of Madrid had been ordered. MADRID, APRIL 15. The garrison of Valencia has been reinforced. A Council of War takes cognisance of the per. sons who have been arrested. The operations of the Conscription are to be pursued to-clay without interruption. Tranquillity is re-established. The Cortez have approved the law on the retire ment of Ministers. T:3 TH9 EDITQK 01' THE RUN. Sza,—Among 'the- items which on Ilist Monday night eassed—te—ewellethe majority in support of awarding a three - thousaud-peunds' premium to jobbery, and mime -I*On:rent at, ;the Natioual Gallery—for, - audacious as it may appear, our profligate and servile House of Commons has awarded to the, purchasers of the "Adoration of the Magi," out of th e t axes extorted from an oppressively taxed people, an increase.of 3,0001. above the estimates of last. year, a fact known to but few—there is one .item of that majority, I say, upon which .I wish to offer a few remarks. That item is Mr. William Stirling, a member of the Select Committee on the National Gallery of 1853. On the 6th of May of that year the committee adjourned from the House of Commons to the National Gallery it self, for the express purpose that I might be challenged to point out in detail upon the nine pictures which, in my public letters, I had alleged to have been injured by the authority' and with the approval of Sir C. Eastlake during the immediately preceding vacation, the damages which I had denounced. I was the only person thus questioned. My attacks upon Sir C. Eastlake were not, as it has been mendaciously intimated, "anonymous;" mendaciously, for to affect ignorance of me on this question is men , tacity. In every instance since 1850 my attacks were authenticated by my own proper signature and address. I reiterateil them with redoubled emphasis throughout my evidence. Was that evi dence "anonymousrWbether they were "un worthy" attacks we shall presently see. Before the committee Y replied un reservedly to upwards of five hundred questions upon the cleaning, some if which were of so invidious, so disgrace ful a nature, that at last a member, prompted, perhaps, by the manifest disgust of the public present, remembering that there was such a virtue as decency, suggested that the examination should assume a less questionable character. Ou the 13th of May, after my second and last examina tion on the, cleaning, the seine Mr. William Stirling, who now votes in . support of Eastlake and Vandalism, Ger manisni and daubs, accosted me near the western door ( f the Rubens-room, and volunteered the highest compliments upon that evidence. He went so far as to say that I had made out my case ; and to cap all, As for old Uwins," said he. " h e ' s an ass. " Mr. Uvrins is a Royal Academi cian. Nor was this the only time that Mr. Stirling so ex pressed himself. I may here mention, incidentally, that my evidence on the cleaning extorted from other members of the committee, commendation as explicit as that of Mr. Stirling, with the same, or a similar, refrein in hondur of Uwins. • Among those members were Messrs. Raikes Cur rie, Wm. Marshall, Lord Elcho, and Col. Mere, the chair man. Lord Elcho pronounced my evidence on the clean ing, but for one exception, " perfect ;" while Col. Mare, with more rtedateness,. as became his years, though not less emphatically, passed a general encomium upon it; and, strange to relate ! "seized upon Lord Elcho's.' "im perfection" as the "great toe" of that evidence. At a later period of the inquiry, the chairman virtually, and Lord Elcbo literally, begged of me not to "kick Sir C. Eastlake---because he was down ;" not to " kick" that "thorough gentleman," Mr. Vernon's "gentleman above all sordid considerations," who pockets the people's money while conscious of being incompetent to discharge the duties for which he receives it ; but of whose " talent," Jupiter - , or that as "mysterious influence" to whom Cupido —not he of Jupiter and Venus—in daily orisons mumbles, "ti baeierd dove' vuoi," has decreed it "presumptuous" 1 even so much as "t o spea k!" As though the fellow countrymen of Sydney, and Hampden, and Milton, and Cromwell, were sunk so low as to accept as law a Royal certificate of merit ! I resume Mr. Stirling. Mr. Stirling's commendatory remarks upnn,my evidence on the cleaning were uttered at the sixth meeting of the committee. That " select" body met, publicly, 25 times. The result of the examinations on the cleaning was, that out of a hundred and fifty-four decisions delivered upon that subject, exclusive of my own and of those of the par ties impeached, one hundred and forty supported my charges. Among the witnesses were seven Royal Acade micians. With the exception of Mr. Uwins, who main tained (Uwins' Evidence,: 3,174-80) that "if the glazing had been removed from the ' Rebecca' Claude, it was very mach for the benefit of the picture," and that "really Canaletto's erode of painting water was so absurd, that if it was all robbed.. out, it would be so much the better," with this solitary exception, the Royal Academicians examined also: endorsed my charges, For even Sir C. Eastlake himself, although, as a Trustee, he had " resolved that the pictures evinced an improved appearance" in consequence of the cleaning, never theless, as a witness, found it expedient to con fess (Eastlake's qq, 4,590-2, 4,718 23-4-5) that som e of them had been ." ill and tastelessly °leaned," and ware "now out of harmony:" that "the softness of outline in others might have been destroyed by over-cleaning ;" that all " do very much want some of the dirt they bad before;" that "if you were to take a little dust and rub over the picture of the `Annunciation,' he had no doubt it would be much improved"—for " dirt" gives "gusto," &e. six six other Ac a d em i c i ans p h rased their sense of their Presi dent's achievements thus : ," injured to the extent of the original work of the master being rubbed off ;" " rawness and want of tone very disagreeable ;" "geoial and plea 'sant warmth very much damaged •;" " distinctive attri butes of the master gone ;" " scumblinge, and even paint rernoved,7.so much so as to destroy the whole harmony of the picture ;" "scrubbed to such an extent that the paint is taken off altogether;" "now all raw and disjointed;" " nothing can ever remedy" the damage ; " feetures re membered 'formerly, reineved by the late cleaning ;" " very much shocked indeed at seeing the alteration th t had taken place ;" " harmony and t , ne destroyed ;" "frightful alteration;" " tort n red —in tist sly that, speak ing candidly ;" "DONE Poll," See.* I h ave quoted thus freely from Royal Academicians, not that I value the opinions of other witnesses less, but because Royal Acade micians, at least, will never, be suspected of prejudice in my favour. On one 'occasion Sir C. Eastlake recounted to the CormuLtee that he had had "a hunt ihreugh Han. surd." This was to fasten upon this lute Mr. Mums a mean sentiment which at a former ex troinatiou it had ~sited his purpose to impute to him. "It is a very labo rious undertaking," said Sir Charles, '` to hunt even through Hansard, but I think it right to say that I have searched in vain for anything of the kind in the papers." (Eastlake's Evid. q. 6,575.) E qua ll y ." l a b orious " and equally successful would his search be were he "to hunt" through my public letters for expressions more damning to himself—more "violent," if he will—than those flung in his teeth by his own colleagues and subordinates. I have now established that, subsequently to Mr. Stir ling's commendation of my evidence ou the cleaning, nothing occurred to warrant the slightest modification of his opinion. A man's vote should be the genuine reflex of his conviction. Under what category, then, shall we place Mr. Stirling's vote oldest Monday night ? Is it not sng gestive of a lamentable analogy to his friend Herr Maud ler's " Careggio ?" but' with this advantage on th e s id e o f the German, th a t it i s less discreditable to possess such a " Correggiei," then to have given such a vote. With respect to Mr. Stirling's ignoble and underhand, yet obvidus attack upon me, I shall have sufficiently, punished him by positively declaring, that, substantially it was a direct contradiction to the sentiments which he once expressed to me in my own room, and which he has repeated elsewhere. His inability to perceive how Herr Miindler's attempt to sell us a daub, at the p , ice of a Cor reggio, should affect that "vaulting" German's eligibility to a post of 1,0001. a-year at the National Gallery of Eng land • his rebuke t o M r .

A j o k e —t o ra i se " a laugh " could from an obsequious audience. Just imagine yourself fiord Palmerston, face to face with the Pediment of the Parthe non ! I will confine myself then to what you can under stand. t . You can undeestand that on the 22d of April you asserted in the Rouse of Commons, that. "no appoietinents had hitherto taken place with respect to any eft - hse at the N.l, tional Gallery, and that "the whole of the arrangements were still under the consideration of tie, Government ;" and you can understand th at at the vary time you were uttering those words you knew that the whole of the ar rangements were completed, yell yourself havieg ord e r e d the " ~rants" for all she appOintinente to be made out, as they now stand, a month before. Your own Treasury Minute of the 27th of March convicts you. I eight like wise quote your admissiou on last Mon , ley night that upon succeeding Lord Aberdeen, you bad " no hesitation in con curring" with that " antiquated' imbecility's" " previous determination, that Sir. C. Eastlake should be ditecter," though that ado:ageism is partly false ; for you did " hesi tate" while " concurring." The consummation of a job so audacious made even you pause. You can also understand that, on the 22d of June, your Secretary of the Treasury —the same who, on the first of August, when defending. your " arrangements" and " ap pointments" of the 27th of Afareh, stigmatised the entire people of the British Empire as beneath the purchaser of the " Adoration of the Magi" in the appreciation of art, for "undoubtedly, if any Eqglishinan had been equally eligible," said he, " he would have had a prior claim ;" you can also understand, I say, that your Secretary of the Treasury, by your orders, again denied those appointments. What manner of men can they be who twice thus submit to be publicly repudiated, passes my understanding ! Your mind may be so perverted by the prescriptive evasions of office, as not to realise the true characters of such denials. In Ethics, their nomenclature is short and startling. Su c h denials degrade the country which, presumptively, y ou represent. i n a public letter, not " anony- On the 27th of August, mous," which I know you read,l suggested that the " pil lory for Ministers who adulterate truth" should have pre cedence over Commissions of Inquiry into all other adultera tions.:' Your covert, but ill-disguised, attack upon me on Monday night, I accept as the reply to that suggestion. That attack, aeain, was virtually a defiance of fact through out. It is fafse, Lord Palmerston ! that you believe Sir C. Eastlake "undoubtedly fit to hold the office entrusted to him." Your "individuals with-whom personal resent ments have greater influence than the interests of truth or the welfare of the community," your "disappointed com petitors" was levelled at me—a slander as gross as your "anonymous" told "unworthy attacks." Search the Treasury, and show, if you can, the% directly or indirectly I have sought this Directorship. " Competitor !" I ac cept the term as th e involuntary recognition of a dent. The Treasury, it is said, has been beset by secret appli cants for that office; and I know that Germans and semi- Germans have been the round of the town begging fur tes timonials —even from an Eastlakee--to shed a ray of light upon their blushing merits, and I know that such testimo nials have been printed for ." private circulation." But such'men do not make attacks upon officialism, even "ano nymously." They fear detection. Secret beggars for office, presumptively incompetent in " virtue" of their calling, dread retributton. They bide their time. Like the fox in the fable, they lie in wait to purloin the prize won by nobler animals.'' No man of spirit would be other than a public candidate for a public office. A man of refine ment might shrink even from that, and wait to be called. It was a compound of insincerity, vulgarity, and insolence, to insinuate as a motive, "disappointed corapetitorshie," except against rejected and incompetent applicants, convicted of "anonYrnoUs attacks." Had you the feelings of a gentleman, or the spirit of a man, where you offered the affront, there you would make re t rac ti on , B ut I give you credit for neither. I have delayed this apostrophe, that contempt, not indigestion, might speak. Your attack on the Press-04 the 1 : twayalcue wawN. BERANGEkS LATEST.

H. w. H. GRAND SURREY DOCKS AND CANAL COMPANY.—At the ordinary meeting of the Grand Surrey Docks and Canal Company, held on Monday, the profit of the year 1855, viz., 9,9231. 6a. lld., added to a balance from 1854 of 2,945/. 19s. id., made a total of 12,8691. 68., which was thus appropriated:—To reserve fund and ex penses of mud raising , . 2,0001 , and to dividend of 4 per 'tent. 6 ,0841., leaving an undivided surplus of 4,7851. 6s. The meeting recorded this'as a more secure cure than that of increasing the dividend in the prospect of an Immediate enlargement of the capital for the extension of the docks, for which purpose the directors stated their intention of shortly issuing a portion of the news per cent preference shares. TURKEY. - - CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3.—The news of the conclusion of peace, although by no means unex pected, did not fail to make here the impression which the news was calculated to produce. Every one begins to turn his attention to the consequences of the great news ; and the thought of these conse quences has considerably modified the feelings with which the news of peace was received by the dif ferent fractious of the motley population of Constan tinople. 'line Turks took the news of peace very quietly. As for the British army, no doubt, the idea of home makes many a heart beat fast ; but to say that peace is generally popular would be incor rect. Last week 500 recruits for the Turkish Con tingent were embarked for Kertch. They form part of the 2,500 men which, according to the standing arrangements, have to be supplied yearly to make up for casualties. It is but fair to state that the Turkish Government behaved very well in this respect. Not only did the men come forth at the appointed time, but they were all provided with new clothes and were picked men. The men themselves seemed in excellent spirits in general ; the Contingent, which was in the beginning viewed only with horror, is now rather popular. Tile letters sent by the ofiliers and men of the Turkish Con tingent have given such a satisfactory account of their gate that the Turkish soldiers begin to per ceive that they can only gain by the change. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received our advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The d ates are: Calcutta, March 10; 13 , -anhay, March 19. The following is from the Bombay Times of March 19: The past fortnight has been newsless. Lord Can ning reached Calcutta on the 29th of February, and was immediately sworn in Governor-General. The Marquis of Dalhousie left on the Gth, carrying with him a larger measure of respect and regard than has perhaps ever before attended a retiring Governor-General. The Sonthal insurrection has closed ; 14,000 Son thals have sought and fouud work on the railway passing by their hills. Peace and prosperity universally prevail. Everything continues quiet in tile kingdom of Oude. The troops hive tendered their services to us to a man. A portion of them for a short time hesitated, under the apprehension that they might he compelled to shave ; on being assured that the bushiest of beards were no objection, they enrolled themselves at once. The villazers seem to experi ence equal astonishment and delight at receiving prompt and punctual payment for everything re quired from them for the public service, and at be ing permitted to give or to withhold whatever they please. We have heard nothing within the last month in reference to the proceedings at Herat, or threatened hostilities with Persia. The capture of the former is matter of supreme indifference—war with the latter about as unlikely a thing as can be conceived. The money market is somewhat tighter than it was a fortnight ago. There is an improving tone in our markets for most descriptions of grey goods. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, March 18.—Our money market during the last fortnight has become slightly tighter, and the banks in consequence have not reduced their rates of interest ; but it is generally supposed the present pressure will be o n ly t emporary. G overnmen t S ecur ities have given way in value. Imports—The demand for cotton piece goods of al most every description is very fair, and at prices more favourable than have prevailed for some time past. There is little doubt that this state of matters will be further improved on the termination, a week hence, of the linlee holidays. Grey Shirtings of 40 inches have advanced 1 to 2 annas per piece, and are in good inquiry; the same re marks apply to 45 in, 71 and 81b , .; all other descriptions remain at former quotations, but are in demand. Grey Madapollatns have slightly advanced, and all descrip. tions are in good inquiry. Grey Jacconets are also in fair inquiry. Grey Long Cl )ths are in moderate inquiry, without any improvement- in prices. Grey Dome ties are very dull of 1./tie. In Grey T Cloths all descriptions are in good demand. Cotton Yarn—A fair amount of business has been done, and prices have advanced on both water and mule, excepting on 40 of the former, and 50, and 90, and 100 of the latter, which remain at former quotations. Dyed orange and Turkey red are both dull of sale. Woollens—Although ladies' cloth is in moderate in quiry, the market generally is dull. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The market has been tolerably steady. The arrivals of the new crop have been free, with the excidion of Broach, Surd, and Jumb , sen, which are coming in :mull lots. Our present quotations are— For Broach, Rs 99 to 100; Oomrawutte, Rs 98 ; Dho papers"—might pass for boldness, did we not know hoW you can cringe —did we not know how you can saerikte • nation's interests and a nation's honour—how you can squander a nation's- treasure and a nation's blood-1 2 0f you can carry on a war of " connivance" for the extinction of right and liberty everywhere, to propitiate " influences" which every Engdshman, not a Germanised sycophant, re' pudiates. Already the Czar's " Manifesto" flouts us for the mischief and disgrace you are hatching for us. I leave it to the Press, to the " anonymous newspapers," to s ettle their account with you. Some of them have already taken up the gauntlet. I trust that the rest will not be so lost to self-respect and to their own beet interests•as not to fol• low snit. To "swallow the leek," from you; were bar ness indeed. Reflect upon this, Lord Palmerston, that those " anonymous newspapers"—the Press of England—' which you hold so cheap, have only to issue their fiat to hurl you from that position whence you insult and debt both them and the nation ; and that it rests with the " an nymous newspapers" to keep you, during the brief space that remains to you, what you have before been a " disappointed" intriguer for place. 27, Soho-square, April 13.

PAHPERISH IN IRELAND.—A return moved for by Mr. Grogan, M.P,, shows that in the year ended on the 29th of Sept. last, the total number of paupers relieved in the 51 unions of Ireland amounted to 30,692, of whole 30;162 were relieved in the workhouse. The total number relieved in the year 1854 was 27,120.

One vessel (in American) has been wrecked in the inime• diate vicinity of Deal. Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning signals of distress were observed from a vessel off Kingsdovvn (about three miles from Deal), and a boat i mme di ately put off to her assistance ; but it was then too late to be of any service, as she was fast drifting on to the shore. In a few minutes afterwards the vessel was blown right'on to the beach, to the north of Kingsdown church, on her larboard side, with her starboard broken in. As soon as she struck the captain ordered her masts and rigging to be cut, which was quickly accomplished. Ref name is the Blanchard, Captain Lawrance, of Yarmouth, United States, 598 tons register, from Charleston for Bremen. Sbe is laden with cotton. She bad on board (in addition to 9 men before the mast and the captain and mates) a man, woman, and child as passengers, the whole of whom have been saved. It appears that she left Char leston on Good Friciay, an,l has experienced very indif terent weather. She was off Dover on Sunday night, wa , i riding w i t h two anchors down, when one of them parted, and she drifted about until she struck on with nce, have been endeavouring to get out the cargo, b u t i t is so swollen that it is with difficulty they . approach her. The Blanchard is a fine strong-built vessel, about 8 or 9 years old, but it is believed that the next tide will break her up. The wind is still blowing strong from the east-by-north. The water is out on the rnan.hes in this district, and it is reported that consider able losses have been sustained by the graziers, and that many 'ewes and lambs have been lost. PUBLIC HEALTH.—A numerous meeting of noblmen and gehtlemen was held on T ues d a y last, for the purpose of electing two'medical officers of health for the parish of St, George, Hanover-square. It was generally be. heved that there were 30 candidates for these appoint merits, Liu:- eventually only 10 went to the poll. Dr. Aldie numbered 55 votes, and Dr. Druitt 47. The chair- Man, the Rev. H. Howarth, announced the result to the successful candidates, who thanked the vestry for the selection which they had made. Her Majesty the Queen has signified her intention to visit this popular place of amusement this evening, when the new drama of " Like and Unlike," in which Mr. Webster, Madame Celeste, and Mr. Wright f have won golden opinions from all sorts of people, will be per. formed ; to be followed by two of those pieces peculiar to the Adelphi, in which Mr. Wright puts the visible faculties of the audience under such severe contribution. This will be the second time within a brief period her Majesty has honoured the performance of the new draina with her presence, a fact reflecting the highest credit on the enterprising proprietor and manager, and the dra• matic corps. ROYAL CKEMORNE GARDENS. There is nothing which money can procure that is wanting to testify the gratitude of the enterprising lessee to his kind and liberal patrons. Mr. T. B. Simpson has spared no expense and no exertions to render the en tertainments of the very highest order, and to insure that every visitor shall go away not merely satisfied, but delighted, with what-has been accomplished for his amusement. lie' is now about to make a farther move ment in the right direction, by giving to his Sunday visitors•the advantages of an excellent band, thus judi-• ciuusly following the precedent set by the Government at Kensington -gardens. I A very large outlay has been made annually in increase ing the interest of nese gardens by the best landscape gardening, by a succession of beautiful flowers, by archi tectural embellishments, rural arbours, classic sculptu• ary, , ncif nt vases, talented paintings, and artistic deco- rations, and though on every Sunday the sun has scarcely yet ere every avenue, nook, and corner becomes brilliant with innulierable illuminative features, yet it has been evident that there was one thing wanted to in crease the pleasure of the multitude, and render their Sabbath recreation complete, which. one thing English nustom and English authorities had not sanctioned. Fortunately a new era has commenced,' and a liberal policy beicg in the ascendant has determined that the eleva'ing strains of inn6ic shall be enjoyed by the poorer • and the many as well as by the richer and the few. This boon to the public Mr. Simpson has for some time been desirous to grew-, but be waited to see the Grlrertiment experiment fairly tested ; and conceiving that on buuday iat the stamp of public approbation was uurnistakeably set upon it, he no longer hesitates to give on every Sunday afternoon not only music, but music of the best etutracter that can be obtained. The pr . - grarinnes will be arrange d from B,lections and composio• tmos by the most talented ancient and modern_ masters. W e have on many occasions alluded with much pleasure to former spirited efforts of the lessee in reference to the public; we are desirous not to omi.: a record of the pre sent, which we think is a move in the right direction. gWe understand the new pavilion in the Ashburoham. round is in a very forward state, and that its enor mous size, peculiar construction, and decoration, will render it au object of great attraction in itself, indepen- • dent; of the uses for which it is designated. • This is as it should be, and it requires no extraordinary claim to vatic:nation to predict that Mr. Simpson will receive the legitimate rewards of his zealous auctindefa tiguble efforts to gratify his visitors. • ..A4 f:"1 kilos.
