The Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited Liability under the Act of last Session, for the purpose of building a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hotel du Louvre, Rue Rivoli, Paris. Parliament having purchased a site for a new National G a llery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc cupied by the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, is in every respect one of the finest and most appropriate that could be selected in London for such an Hotel. capital, such und er t a ki ngs have proved The leading capitalists in E urope an d higAhslysuce investments essfut for America have united in promoting them, The Great Western Hotel is London, on the same principle, ha s proved to be a hi g hly remunerative investment ; the net profits in the last division were 31 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was at the rate of 25 per cent, per annum. The Shares have about doubled in value, and, although it has not bean in ope ration two years, it is too small to meet the daily applications for accommodation. The profits of the IMPERIAL HOTEL, from its superior situation and many other advantages, will be at least equal to the most lucrative undertakings of a similar nature. A Bill g i v ing powers to the Company, with re f erence to the site in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the House of Commons. An instalment of 2/. per share is required to obtain com plete registration with limited liability; but should th a t or he site not be obtained the depsit will be ret urne d to the tShareholders, le s a sum not exceeding 3a. per share on ac count of expenses.

The invalids, to the number of 125, were medically inspected by Second-class Surgeon W. J. Fyffe, M.B , from Fort Pitt, when those requiring further surgical treatment were ordered into the supplemental hospital at Brompton, and the remainder were taken to the invalid depot, St. Mary's, to be inspected by a Chelsea board. Nine in sane men, who arrived with the party of invalids, were admitted into Fort Pitt. The remnants of three companies of the 11th battalion, Royal Artillery, lately returned from the Crimea, were yesterday morning marched down to the Arsenal Wharf, Woolwich, and embarked on board two of the Diamond Company's Steamers for Sheerness, where they are in tended to fill vacancies in the corps. - - A number of non-commissioned officers and men be longing to the depots comprising the Provisional Batta lion at Chatham were yesterday selected by Colonel H.

The men so selected will be relieved from all other duty while they are under instruction, and on the completion of their training they will be draughted to other regiments where they may be required for the purpose of instructing the troops. An order from the War-office has arrived at Chatham barracks directing Captain W.

Should this determination be carried out the men belonging to that corps will not be disbanded now the war is concluded, but the horses and men will, as far as practicable, be employed in the dock-. yard establishments. PRINCg ALBERT AT CuLCHESPER. COLCHESTER, MONDAY EVENING. Prince Albert visited this town to-day for the purpose of inspecting the troops encamped in the vicinity. The stree,s of the borough were lined with well-dressed peo ple, and al? business was suspended, though shops re mained open, in order that the town might present as animated an appearance as possible. The Prince left tow❑ by a special train at 10 a.m., and arrived at Colchester shortly after 11. His Royal High ness, who was accompanied by Gen. Grey, Col. Phipps, Gen. Wetherall, and Lord Alfred Paget, was received at the station by a guard of honour, furnished from the 11th Regiment, and a detachment of the West Essex Yeo manry. At the suggestion of the Mayor of the town, a large body of horsemen were in attendance. From the railway station the Prince proceeded direct to the Town-hall, where the elite of the neighbourhood had assembled to witness the presentation of an address to his Royal Highness. To the address, which was read by the Recorder (Mr. C. G. Round), his Royal Highness raplied as follows : " Mr. Mayor and Gentleinen,—l am deeply sensible of the kindness and cordiality which has marked your eeceptio❑ of me on this my first visit to your ancient town. I have embraced with the greatest satisfaction this opportunity of becoming acquainted with a part of England which I had not before seen, and it is most gra tifying to me to find amongst the people of Colchester the same zeal for the true interests and honour of the country—the same loyalty and affectionate attachment to their Sovereign which I have found in all other parts of her Majesty's deminions which I have visited. To be the channel for conveying to the Queen the expns sion of such sentiments of loyalty and patriotism ►s as agreeable to me as I know it will be grateful to her Ma jesty's heart to receive them." With this the proceedings - at the Town-hall termi nated. They partook of a cold and formal character, a wish having been expressed, on the part of the Mayor, that the company should not give vent to their feelings by cheering on the Prince's entrance. The immense mass of people out of doors made ample amends, how ever, for this frigid propriety. The Prince, on leavinz the Town-hall, proceeded through Queen-street and Botolph-street, to inspect the „camp, over which his Royal Highness was conducted by Sir William O'Malley and other officers, The camp covers a large extent of ground, and contains a church, three school-rooms, quarters and mess establishment s for the various officers, and about 130 huts for the rank and file, together with two powder magazines, 20 hos pital huts, stables, lavatories, cooking-houses, &c. The regiments now quartered in the camp are the 11th and 88th and the following, militia corps : --The Essex Rifles, the West Suffolk, the West Essex, and the East Norfolk. The commanding officer of the whole force isMajor.General Gascoigne. Having concluded his examination of the camp, the Prince n ex t a dd re ssed himself to the real business of the day, the inspection of the troops, why were d rawn up in line in Wiverahoe-park, the 88th 11 , -gitnent being on the extreme right, the Essex Rifles on the left, and the militia regiments forming the centre. Major General Gascoigne was surrounded by his staff—Earl Ji-rnayn, Colonel Adair, Lieut.-Colonel Herbert, Captain Hamilton, and Captain Bulwer. The regiments on the Qround were commanded by the following officers : 88th, Colonel Maxwell ; West Suffolk Militia, Colonel Deare ; %Vest Essex Militia, Lieut.-Colonel Brice • EaFr ; Norfolk Militia, M a jor Sir E. Laren, M P and the Essex Rifles, Major Wallace. The long line of troops extended across the park,- and the fineness of the wea ther attracted an enormous number of persons to the spot. The Prince was received, on reaching the park, by Major-General Gascoigne and his staff, and, having ridden up and down the line, and received a general sa• lute, his Royal Highness took up a favourable position for observing the movements of the troops, which. were :performed in a very soldierly and satisfactory manner. -Nt the close of the evolutions, the Prince expressed his attisfacti , in to General Gascoigne, and at three o'clock 'is Royal Higline:qi, having taken leave of the officers of the camp, returned to Co'chest« r, and thence by special ' train to London. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Arms 21. I The official manager of the Tipperary. Bank ;writes to the Freeman's Journal to correct a miti. iappreliension to which hi s o wn li s t h a d g i ven r is e . the says, I. -have returned Mr. W. Kennedy and Mr. V. Scully as" directors, b ecause i n th e b oo k s o f ithe company they appear to have been such within !the last three years, and it was therefore necessary so to designate them in tho list without reference to the date of their ceasing to be directors. I I-think it right to add that these gentlemen dis posed of their shares, and. had the transfers regis tered in the books of the company in the, months of March and April, 1855, from which periods their uttnaes do not appear in the books of the com tray. The Freeman,, commenting in its commercial tiele on the newly-published list of contrilautories, "Upon-this list,- deducting thoSe who are manifestly insolvent; it would take a call of, say 1091. per,share,. to produce a 'sufficiertt sum, and the grand, guestioci is, how much would be' recovered' on such ' a call ? This, then, brings us to a still snore painful lilt, that bf those of 'the . former shareholders who within. three ears have either bona fide toi oolourably disposed of their . shares. For . the _latter,' if such .there be, phere is not so' much sympathy ; for, having enflea foured to reach the profit and avoid the loss, there is a pecies of poetical justice in their being caught. • It cali ains 15 narneo; 7 'of whom transferred their shares to Mr. .) . ;tryies Sadleir,. and two 'othera are twice transferred. There are but four Dublin names—James Bicnh KenL 14edy, 373 shares ; Wiiliain Austin, 373 shares.; James ttirling, 144 ; and Thomas Edwards, 44. The firs't two Ore evidently conversan t of the same lot of shares, and a, out•the same time---viz., DeCember 1853, and May, 1854 ; and the second name may. possibly be a share . 61 1 ker . or his clerk. There is a fifth name—tbat'ut. Mr. Thomas Hone—introduced in connexion with the last name in a very invidious manner, as having tra, , ferred the-e shares to Mr. Edwards in: October,, 1847, and it is the only case in which reference .is made to a transfer over three years. We infer readily that it bill be sought to make Mr. Hone liable for these sharks dy showing that the other party held them merely fir im, but this has yet to be establi , led, and it is at least ti i e claim aohbrti, eld i ce. sautryhte unjustifiable Itut biscsut t l ja o tati ariabnubepeii person rxestablished,istNooern.tpoHutfotobfenoeners forward it a easit n r:d d ae. incaution, and unjustifiable to put forward any name in this i s at way least while incautious .

The Arnold prize, for the encouragement of the study of history, ancient and modern, was some days ago awarded by the examiners to Mr. John Henry 'Bridges, Fellow of Oriel College. The living of South Stoke, near Arundel, in the diee3se of Chichester, is now at the disposal of the University, in consequence of the legal incapacity to present of the patron, who is a Roman Catholic. The Rev. Richmond Powell, M.A., of Trinity CoPege, Cambridge, has soli cited the votes of meir,bErs of Convocation, on the special ground that " only the sudden death of the late Duke of Norfolk prevented his legal appointment to the pre ferment." The Rev. G. Fereman, M.A., Chaplain of All Souls College, and late Junior Proctor, who had also been spoken of as a candidate, has announced his unwillingness to contest the election with a per-on pos ses,in,g the claims of Mr. Powell. Mr. Powell is, we believe, Vicar of Bury, near Arundel, a living of the annual value of 1001. . . A statute, containing a new scheme of regulations for the Bodleian Library, will shortly be brought before Congregation. We trust to be able to give to-morrow a summary of the chief provisions of the statute.

PROCLAMATION OF PEACE-110AX UPON THE PUBLIC. • In consequence of the appended declaration, bearing the appar-lit impress of authority, having been affixed at the City boundaries and other places of- prominence arour.d the metropolis, to the effect that yesterday an official proclamation of peace would bare been heralded at the undermentioned places, some thouiands of per sons, respectable and otherwise, whose credulity had thus been imposed ,upon, crowded the area in front of the Royal Exchalge, and who, notwithstanding the assurances of the police that the whole affair was a hoax, maintained each his positiin with the most obdurate de termination. At all the other points at which it was supposed this " herald ag" would have taken place, large assemblages of persons had also collected. ne following is the declaration : " V. R. " pEACE.-A PROCLAMATION EXTRAORDINARY WILL BE ISSUED ON MONDAY, APRIL 21. "A mounted herald, accompanied by a pursuivant. will arrive at Westminster at ten a m., where, prefaced by a flourish of trumpets, he will announce - to her Ma jes.tyls lieges the objects of his most important mission. Having so accomplished his assigned service, he will thence proceed to tho undernamed localities, where, at the time hereby specified, be will repeat the said procla mation in the aforesaid manner:-- _Elephant snd Castle 10.35 a,m.

Picoadilly circus Cbaring-cross 3 0 ~, "Fur Whoa of all whom this may concern, .iipy order." " By order" these pacific declaralloos were iieircroyed, and the police were for some time mystified, until a great clisturLance in the vicinity of the parks, acid the subse quent.apprehension of an individual, revealed that the whole affair was a• well-contrived, but badly-executed, " puff' for the wares of some tradesman iu Oxford street. An immense mob congregated round Marlborough street police-court about four o'clock yesrer•.ay . alter noon, in consequence of the capture of the individual who wa , presumed to he concer, ed in the hoax relative to the peace proclamation by Loyal authority, with which the inetrop ills had ben placarded, a pro ceeding that had urawn tboo.an.is of carious people to the different localities where it was announced the Royal Herald would deliver his effiaial information: A young man, who gave the name of Gaspar Collard, wearing a herald's tabard, profusely decorated with tinsel lions and unicorns, a blue velvet hat and feathers, and a'together made up in true theatrical style ; with mousta chins, long curly wig. &c., was charged with au assault. Joseph Davis, a groom, said he was in Hyde-park that afternoon, looking at the defendant, when he was struck by the defendant with his whip. After being struck the defendant, who was on horseback, attempted to ride over him. Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, inquired if the mob were following and hooting the defendant ? The complainant replied in the affirmative, but he was not one of them. Mr. Bingham (to defendant) —What have you to say ? Defendant—l am employ td by Mr. Grevill Potter, of Oxford-street, to read a proclamation at various places to-day, announcing to the public that it is his intention to give away portraits of the heroes of the Crimea, of many hundred pounds value. About 5,000 bi Is have been posted in different parts, and because I was behind the stated time and,the people were kept waiting, they became infuriated, and when I made my app-arance in Hydepark the cries were " Pull him off his horse ;" and I should bare been torn off. my horse _if the police constable (Saint, D 183) had not interfered. I only struck in self•defence, without assaulting any one in particular. I am only a servant acting under the in structions of another. Inspector 4w-ter—This sham proclamation has been the cause of great annoyance to the public. Thousands have assembled in - different parts, and tradesmen have been obliged to shut up their shops. Mr. Bingham—l think the defendant's conduct to say the least, very indiscreet, for he miz,ht have perilled both limb and life in going amog the mob. I shall not treat this as an assault, but only as _a piece of tom foolery, which I should advise the defendant not to re peat. In collecting a large mob by such ridiculous means you make yourself a small nuisance. You may go this time, but first take off that absurd dress. The defendant was then released. POLICE LYTELLIGENCE.-April 21. CLERKENWELL.—Benjamin, Allen Howard, who described himself as a merchant of Wisconsin, United States, was charged with having, on the night of the 18th of March, stolen from a bedroom at the Great Northern Hotel, King's cross, about 5601., the property of Mr. Stanisland, a solicitor, of Boston, Lincolnshire. The prisoner is a smart-looking Yankee, with a mous tache and beard, and wore elegantly-cut clothes and coloured boots, and had with him a quantity of most valuable jewellery, and a fancy stick with a gold horse's leg for the handle. Mr. Stanikiland said he resided at Boston, in Lincoln shire, and on Wednesday, the 18th of March, he came up to town, having in his possession about 565/., con sisting of three Bank of Eng and notes for 1001, the remainder being in B note'. He went to bed at the Great Northern Hotel at about half-past 10 the same night, takii , g the precaution of first locking the door. In the inortung, who n he left his bedroom, be felt in his trow-ers pocket, and then discovered that his purse and money were not there. He then cave information to the police, and having a certained the number of the notes, found that one of the prisoner's companion', of the name of Howard Ki- gston, had paid one of the 1001. notes to the Messrs Emery and Co., tailors, of Regent•street. There could be no doubt, that he had locked his door when he went to bed, but a man waS now not much more safe even if he locked his door. He (Mr. &anis land) should prove the passing of the notes for 1001. each and would then ask for a remand, as he had little doubt but that a great portion of the property found on the prisoner wowd be identified. Mr. J. It. Owen proved that one of the 1001. notes had been passed at Mr. Speeltran's, but the chief clerk, who could identify the man who passed the note, was unable to be present that day. The party who changed the note had the greater portion of the change in Awe rican dollars. The hall porter at Morley's Hotel produced a book, in which was an entry of " Hoskin, • Kingston, New York, 19th Feb., 1856 '" He FDAV, him write his name in the book. It is the practice of Americans using that hotel to write their tames in the book in case any of their friends should call. Sonietimes the prisoner called ; that was about a week after. There could be no doubt that Kin2ston and the prisoner knew one another, for they conversed and went out together. The prisoner, upon being asked in the usual way if he bad anything to say, replied "Nothing." Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner for a week. When the prisoner was searched there were found upon him two valuable gold diamond rings, one of them a rose coloured one; worth about 201. The prisoner was apprehended on board the Persia, American steamer, just as it was on the point of leaving Liverpool for New York. He bad on him a belt, con taining 115 sovereigns, 78 twenty-dollar piecer, 34 five dollar pieces, and other property of the value of 6001. There is a large quantity of property in the hands of the police ; and if hotel keepers and others who have been robbed will communicate their loss to Scotland-yard, they will be allowed to see the several articles. ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF Atine.—Tbe Tribunal of Correctional Police of Lyons three days ago tried a man named Dumas for belonging to a secret society, and having illegal possession of arms and ammunition. Al though he was known to have keen one of the employes of the Association Fraternelle, which in June, 1849, got up the insurrection at the Croix Rousse, and though he had been one of the principal members of a revolution ary society which planned a general insurrection for August, 1855, and who had been sent to,the neighbour ing departments to represent the Voraces, the Carbonari, Invincibles, and other secret sccieties, he for some rea son enjoyed the special protection of one of t he m ayors of the city, and through him got two of his children admitted to an hospital, and was allowed to keep a sta ll for the sale of liqueurs near the Pont Morand. It, bo w . ever, in February last, b eca me known that h e was an active member of a secre t p olitical soci ety called the Comite Europeen, a nd on searching his lodgings pro clamations of that society exciting to insurrection were fund, as well a , a p i,tol, te n h a ll cartr i dges, 44 caps, &c. The Tribunal sentenced him to two years' irnpri• sonmene and 16fr. fine. PREVENTION OF STEAM POILFE EXPLOSION.—The association withl shed in Mani heater r the prevention of steam-boiler explo-ions, has ju-t issued the following instructions to firemen. As they is-ue from a body of practical men, they are deserving the attention of all n'rties working (-team-engines throughout the kingdom. "Instruction-. —Where there are two furnace to a boiler, fire alternately, and at regular intervals of time. In throwing on fresh c gals , si real them evenly over tl bare, commencing at the bridge end. Large orals should he broken into pieces not bigger than a man's fist. Never allow any part of the grate surface to be un covered, nor allow the fire to burn too low. There should et be lees than four inches thickness of bright fuel on the bars when a fresh charge is trown on, Keep the liars free from clinkers. In case o' the water falling be -1 iw the bottom of the guage-glass draw the fires at once; out if the plates,of the furnace should have become red "rot-before this has beep noticed , and the fires cannotsbe !raven with safetY, at all events close the dampers; lint n no account attempt to let water into the boiler.. In uch cases, if the engine be not at work, it must not be started, nor must the safety-Valve, or any other valve, be opened. In short, the boiler must be left undisturbed till it has gradually cooled down." We yesterday pointed out to , conclusion of an article upon Lord Palmerston's systematic betrayals of the Liberal cause through. out Europe, a very remarkable fact connected with the campaign of 1854, namely, that the lamentable SebastoPol expedition was undertaken without the knowledge of Austria, and that it was undertaken at the very moment when that power was on the point of committing herself to direct hostility with Russia by taking the left of an advance which, from the magnitude of ti.• forces employed, would have in , vitably included the Russo-Polish territo ries wit lin its scope. nese facts have only lately come to our know ledge in a shape upon which we could place implicit reliance, and are now put forward, not in defence of Austrian tergiversation, but in inculpation of our own Glvernment 'for treachery to the common cause, We have good reason for believing that the Anti tria'n Government, upon 11 , arieg from the Times that it was the determination of the allied powers to carry the war into the Crimea, at once fell back upon their former dilatory policy, in the double conviction that they were themselves left totally isolated, and that not a single soldier of the expe ditionary armies would ever return. The letter conviction we fear hr s been but too nearly fulfilled, at least as far as the body of troops originally sent was concerned. Of course the enor mous power of England and France in a degree repaired the fearful losses ; but, alas, we fear that few of the galla n t army , e i t h er French or English, which landed at Old Fort are ever destined to re visit the shores of their native lands. We recur to this subject because we are aware that many or - Our readers may Le anxious to know why so monstrous a departure from the great ob jects of European independence should have been sanctioned by our Government, and so great an opportunity lost. We answer in a few words—by a reference to what we- said above—the movement iu advance, including the armies of four great powers, would have made 'Russian Poland the field of battle, and involved the English Government at once in a con flict, upon Polish ground, with a Sovereign "whose rights are," as Lord,Paltnerst,,ii asserts, " incon testibl e." ; • Every one knows that—call it selfish or other wise—the. Austrian policy has been, for i 0 years, that of giving up Gallicia as her contribution to the establishment of an independent kingdom of Poland. She knew well that the advance thus contem plated would have raised the whole Polish question. The same inevitable consequence was also patent to the Western Governments ; and we now see the fact that sooner than raise the question of Polish independence, they run the risk—too fatally fulfille&--of sacrificing their armies in the fearful conflict with famine and disease on - the fatal pla teau in front of Sebastopol. The foregoing considerations may be taken as a preface to the following painful extracts from the address of the officers of Cossacks of the Sultan to their friend and general, Zacnoyski, a melancholy record of disappointed hopes. "TO GENERAL COUNT zaniotsu, COMMANDING THIS POLISH DIVISION OF COSSACKS OF THE SULTAN. "General,-_ united under your command, although under a very humble appellation, we considered our selves as forming the nucleus of a future Polish national army, and were prepared to undergo fresh sacrifices for the sake of our country. We know well what cares and labours you have undergone, unceasingly and untiringly, in forming the Polish division. Your hopes and ours are now, we will not say destroyed, but suspended for a while, by the news of peace, which, while bestowing a temporary quiet upon Europe, fills the heart of the Poles with sadness, for it renders doubtful the cause of our nation—a cause which we alone serve." FIRE 'ASSURANCE. The following petition, besides others throngh different meinbers, was presented to the House of Commons last night by Mr. George Hadfie!d, M.P. for Sheffield. It bears the signatures of 17,056 members of the British etnpne MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY. "That while the returns of the London fire brigade show that even in London the neglect of fire assurance prevails to the extent of more than one-half of the pro perty, and there is reason to believe the proportion to be much greater in the provinces, the great obstruction to the extension cf thi3 prudent precaution is found in the enormous duty charged upon this method of providing against a sudden calamity. "That this tax, being 3s. per cent. per annum, with an additional duty of is. on the first year, while common assurances are Effected at the premium of ls. id. per cent., a duty of from 200 to 300 per cent. upon the price, becomes to a large extent prohibitory. "That inasmuch as the tax is charged upon fire as surance, while other descriptions of assurance are almost free from duty, it is exceedingly unfair and unjust. "That, being a tax levied only upon one class of her Majesty's subjects—the prudent-- while the improvident and careless go free, it is highly oppressive. " That, inasmuch as the destruction of property unin sured--leaving debtors without any property to meet their obligations to their creditors, and occasioning the sudden nun of many families, leads on to pauperism and crime, s. tax which obstructs and prohibits fire insurance is, in a great commercial country litre this, most im politic. "That, for these reasons, the principle of a tax upon fire assurance has been generally censured by the greatest statesmen and writers on political economy. ." That your hon. house has given its high sanction to the wholesome principle, that prudent habits should be encouraged and promoted, by parsing various measures, with that object, during the last few years, and especi ally by taking off, to a great extent, the duties on lire and marine assurance, by allowing the sums paid for life assurance to be free from income tax, and by exempting 'farming stock, agricultural produce, and implements of husbandry, from the fire assurance tax altogether ; thus virtually condemning such tax as inexpedient, unequal, and unjust. _ "Your petitioners therefore pray your bon. house to extend the benefit conferred upon the owners of agricul tural property to all classes of her Majesty's subjects, by totally repeali , g the duty on fire a. , suraoce. " And your petitioners will ever pray," &c. Sporting Intelligence. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

Webb Ward, Esq., the district coroner for Staffordshire. The inquiry had been adjourned for the purpose of Dr. Mooch ton, of Rn.eeley, making a post mortars 'examination of the body, and an analysis of the stomach and intestines by Dr. Taylor. Dr. Monckton, phyvicau, of Rugeley, was next examined. He said the appearances indicated bili ons diarrhoea. Supposing such diarrhea% to have been present, it might have arisen either from natural causes or from the administration of medicinal or poisonous drugs. The coroner then submitted to the jury a repor which be had received from Dr. Taylor, containing the result of his analysis of the contents of the stomach of the deceased. Thq report detailed at considerable length the experiments and tests whi c h h e b a d ma d e on t h e various portions of the viscera, the result of which was that he had been unable to discover any traces of poison which would produce the symptoms from which thelle ceaed suffered. The coroner, having briefly addressed t h e j ar y," theY returned a verdict that-tho deceased died frOm n atural causes. Immediately on the verdict tieing delivered, loud cheers burst from the friends of Mr. Ael. mall, who had aEsembred in comideralo ambit% 14 and around the tort. ~.. ..
