CITY, Two o'CLocit In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the demand was moderate. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, including 1,000 bales on speculation and for export. Tho Railway Share Market was active, and prices were higher than on Thursday. The Bank of England Return, completed for the Week ending 10th May, is rather more favourable; but there is a further slight decline in the bullion. The falling off in the other securities and the in crease in the reserve of notes is considered encou raging features. A large portion of the late arrivals of specie having been sent into the Bank of England, au increase is expected next week in the item of bullion.

Mate that the financial world was still occupied in the formation of a bank ; for which numerous pro jects had been presented, but up to that date no thing certain had been done by the Government. The commercial position of the Porte has become much easier, with a sensible diminution in the priees of the necessaries of life. Many speculators who had monopolised these articles of consumption had lost considerably by their trans actions. The rates of exchange are also easier, and the value of foreign money has fallen, while the. Government paper currency is readily taken at improved rates. The population, in many of their small dealings, prefer the latter to foreign coin, which augurs favourably for the institution of a bank of issue. Letters from Alexandria mention that some fur ther communication has been made by the Govern blent relative to the projected " Bank of Egypt,' quoted on the London Stock Exchange: It appears that on the arrival of the Consul-General of France in that city a renewal of the protestations on the Part of the financial community was made to the - Viceroy against the title of the Bank in question. After some negotiations the Egyptian Government Published an official circular, to the effect " that this new Bank, notwithstanding its title, enjoyed 11 0 special privilege granted by the Government., A. telegraphic message from Rome states that the duties on all imported manufactures have been con siderably diminished. The official return of the exports of bullion from the Port of London for the week ending Thursday last is as follows : 18,238 Ozg. 5001. 587 Ozg. ... 8,500/.

Syers, Walkerand Co.'s creditors, the committee of inves tigation, with one dissentient, stated that, in their Opinion, the estate would only yield 3s. in the Pound. A Mr. Warner, however, thought that 6 1; or 7s. might be realised, consequently four in spectors were elected who ware to examine and manage the affairs of the firm, and report thereon 'within four calendar months.

Colonel John Kinloch, lospectgr-General of British 2 Foreign Legions, visited the quarters of the two com panies of the 3d Jager Corps, stationed at Devonport, at .9 o'clock this morning ;at 10 o'clock hA wa s i n Ply. I .mouth Citadel, and at two this afternoon he was at the 2 head-quarters of the corps at Maker Heights, near 2 Mount-Edgecumbe. Colonel Kinloch informed the men that he had been d►rected by the War Secretary to state that in consequence of the disorderly conduct which prevailed in some of the companies the whole of the 3d _ Jager Corps was to be disbanded. They were, however, expected to obey orders up to the last moment of their 2 sera ice. The Government had determined to give each 1 marl 12 months' pay, and provide them with free pas- aag es either to Germany or America. Excepting a small ad'eance to purchase necessaries previous to embarkation 4 , tin ) whole cf the pay would be given to them on arriving at th e place of their destination. It is stated that some ji days since the officers were informed, by a written cum- u intnication, that they would receive three months' pay 11 When the corps was disembodied. A general Court-Martial was held to-day at Govern ment-house, Mount Wise, on Sergeant Collins, belong ing to Captain S. Von Scuartzenhom's Company No. 3, stationed at Drake's Island. He is accused of personal acts of insubordination on the parade at Maker towards the Commander of the Forces in the West, Major- General Eden, and towards his own commanding I °Meter, Colonel Bowles. The sentence is not yet pro inulgated. The prisoner is confined at Maker Heights. The men of No. 6 Company who refused obedience to C aptain Axel Von Jessen, at Bovisand, have not had their arms restored to them, but continue under arrest in the Citadel.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY). FOURTH DAY. This morning the court was more crowded than upon any previous day, there being an immense number of the medical profession present. Earl Grey was again present, arriving before the court opened. Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, was amongst those upon the bench. The first witness called was— George Bates, examined by Mr. Edwin James.—l was once a farmer. lam nothing now. I have known Palmer eight or nine years. In October and Novem ber last year I used to look after his horses and boys. I had no stipulated salary ; some weeks I had two sovereigns, sometimes one. I lodged in Rugeley, and paid 6s. 6d. a-week. I knew deceased. I saw him at prisoner's house in September. I cannot recollect the date. I dined there with. them. After dinner the subject of insuring my life was brought up. Mr. Sergeant Slice objected to this course of exa mination. Mr. Edwin James and the Attorney-General having said a few words as to the purport of the evidence to be given, the objection was allowed. Witness in continuation—l recollect Cook's death. I remember the inquest. I know Ward, the coroner. I saw prisoner upon the Bth of December. He gave me a letter. I think this is it. He also gave me one to France, a dealer in game at Stafford. I was to get some game from France. It was a basket. I did so, and according to prisoner's orders I directed it to Ward, the coroner. I gave a man threepence to take the game. I went to the Dolphin at Stafford, where I saw Ward. He was in the smokeLroorn. He came out into the yard, and I gave it to him. I called him out because there were others in the room. I came back to Stafford and saw Palmer and told him what I had done. About 12 upon the morning of the itth December I was sent for to the prisoner's house. I found him in bed. He said he wanted me to take a letter to Ward, and I was not to let any one see me give it to him. He said, "Go to Ben and tell him that I want 51., that he had ne small change." Mr. Edwin James—Who is Ben ? Witness—Mr. Palmer's assistant, Thurlby. The witness, in answer to further questions, said Palmer told me to look into a drawer and see the amount of a bill there. I did so, and saw the amount of the bill. It was a fifty-pound Bank of England note. I left it there. It was before I took the letter to Ward. After finding the note I went to Thurlby's to borrow the five pounds, and I got a note on the Bridgnorth Bank, which I took to Mr. Palmer. After that I went down stairs from Palmer's room ; he was sitting up in bed, with the writing materials beside him. I remained down stairs about half an hour in the yard or kitchen. When I went up again Palmer aked me what was the amount of the bill in the drawer I took, and I believe it was the amount I have mentioned. Then he gave me the letter to take to Stafford. I delivered the letter in Stafford, near the railway station. I gave it to Ward, and he crumpled it up and put tt in his pocket ; be did not read it in my presence. I think I told Ward from whom I had brought it, and then I returned to ilugeley, and saw the prisoner the same evening. I told him I had given Ward the letter, and he did not make any rem ark. produce tetanus. In respect of generaibonitulsions not absolutely tetanic (without premonitory symptoms) but producing sickness and vomiting, would not, I think, end in tetanus. Ido not know if convulsive shrieking would produce tetanus. Dr. Todd, examined by the Attorney-General, said— I am a physician at King's College Hospital. I have lectured upon tetanus, and I agree with the last wit ness. I have seen cases of idiopathic tetanus, they come from no external wound, , out from constitutional causes. I think the term tetanus ought not to apply to poison cases. The first symptom of tetanus is stiffness of the jaw. There are no intermissions, but there aro diminu tions, but no subsidence. Acute cases will terminate in 3 or 4 days, but chronic ones will continue for 19 to 22 days. Tae locking of the jaw is the first symptom. Epilepsy will produce convulsions, and epileptic con vulsions arc tetanic in form. Epileptic convulsions are soon over ; they are not parsiAent. I should say that apoplexy would not produce tetanus ; but if there was an effusion of blood upon the brain, that might produce tetanic symptoms. The spasm extends to the heart in cases of strychnine. A medics' practitioner would not. I think, have any difficulty in distinguishing tetanic from other convulsions. I have heard the examination about the spinal cord, and think that if disease had been in existence it would easily have been detected. Sir Benjamin Brodie, examined by Mr. E. James—l am surgeon of Guy's, and have had many cases of tetanus during the years I have been there. I have heard the symptoms of death described. This idiopathic tetanus generally commences with a stiffness of the lower jaw. The contraction of the back and muscles is an after symptom generally much later— affects the extremities in a less degree than the back and trunk. In ordinary cases it generally lasts for three or four days. I have heard of one case terminating in twelve hours; but then I think the early symptoms had been overlooked. I never knew that the ordinary symp toms lasted a few minutes, then subside and then return after a lapse of 24 hours. I have never seen the effects of strychnia in human life. In my opinion Cook's death did not arise from either descriptions of tetanus. I never heard that sore throats caused tetanus, or from any syphilitic affection at all. I never knew of either epilepsy or apoplexy producing tetanus ; it is always continuous. I may as well state that, from what I have heard of the description of Cook's death, I do not think that the symptoms arose from any disease at all. (Great sensation.) I refer not to the particular symptoms, but to the course symptoms took. Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—l recollect being shown one case of idiopathic tetanus, but doubted if it was one. By Mr. Sergeant Shee—Considering the rarity of the case, would you from an opinion from an opinion from the statements which you heard from a country prac titioner and a chambermaid ? Lord Campbell interfered, and said he did not think such a question should be put. Sergeant Sbee—Which would you prefer, the cham bermaid or the practitioner. The Court ruled that such a question should not be put. Sergeant Shee—Have you heard of cases where syphilitic poison has caused convulsions? Wituess—Only when it has reached the bones of the head and caused disease. The Court then adjourned for a few minutes. On the re•assembling of the Court, Application was hero made that the depositions of Dr. Bamford might be put in, as he was too ill at pre rent to attend. Tim learned gentleman read, an autho rity as a precedent for such a proceeding. Sergeant Shee had not the slightest objection to such Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—l'almer had four brood mares and four yearlings, and a three-year old. I cannot tell their value. I heard that one sold for 800 guineas. I cannot say whether soy were in foal in November. The stables were at the back of the house, and the paddock was also there. The stables were in it. It comprised about 20 acres, and was fenced in with hawthorn. I remember a male called the Duchess of Kent slipping her foal, which couldnot be found. Goldfinder's dam was there. On one occasion I made a re mark to Harry the groom about the state of the turf. I never saw dogs in the paddocks. I attribute the cutting up of the turf to the galloping of the horses. I have seen a gun where the corn was kept. I have not used it. I know now the person who came to me in Sep tember is Inspector Field. I cannot tell whether he saw Palmer. He was a stringer to me at first. I never saw him but once, and I don't know him now. I re member seeing Gillard, a sheriff's officer, in the yard of Palmer's house when I went down after looking at money in the drawer. Re-examined by the Attorney-General—The time the turf was cut up, was after hay harvest. I cannot say how long it was before Cook's death that I made the remark about the turf being cut up. Mr. Thomas Curling sand—l am a surgeon at the Lon don hospital. I have turned my attention particularly to tetanus. I have published a work on that subject. Tetanus causes a spasmodic affection of the voluntary muscles of motion. There are only two sorts of disease, idiopathic and traumatic. There are ethers, but not true tetanus. The idiopathic is a primary disease. Traumatic tetanus arises from injuries. Idiopathic tetantis arises often from cold or exposure. I never saw a case of idiopathic tetanus. I have seen 20 cases of traumatic te tanus. The disease first manifests itself by stiffness about the jaws or neck, and a clagging pain at the pit •f the stomach ; in many cases the muscles of the back are affected. The patient is liable to paroxysms, and as the disease goes on those paroxysms become more frequent and more severe. When this occurs the body is drain back—in some instances forward, then there is a diffi culty in swallowing and breathing during the paroxysms. The disease may end two ways—the patient may die somewhat suddenly from suffocation, or enclosure of the windpipe or glotis, or the patient might be worn out with the paroxysms and then he would gradually sink and die. These are the general symptoms. The locking of the jam is constant from tetanus from wounds—it is almost constant. I may say a constant consequence. It shows itself early. There is also a peculiar expression of the countenance—generally throughout, which is not peculiar in idiopathic or traumatic tetanus. My observations are with reference to the latter. There is a contracted con dition of the eye-lids—the rising of the angle of the mouth, and there is a contraction of the bowels. The lower extremities are affected, and sometimes, but rarely, the upper extremities. The muscles mostly affected are those of the trunk. The muscles of the extremities are affected at various periods of the disease, but generally at an advanced peri ;d. I have never known or read of tetanus being produced by sore throat, nor from a cer tain disease. I Lord Campbell asked whether it was necessary to proceed with that investigation ? The Attorney-General said yes. The prisoner has given us notice that that would be one of his defences. Mr. Sergeant Shoe explained. The Attorney-General said he could only anticipate that course. a proceeding. Lord Campbell said if the Attorney-General wished the depositions of Dr. Bamford to be read, and Sergeant Shee did not object, the depositions might be read, but ha would not give any opinion on the point. The Attorney-General asked the witness, Dr. Todd, if he had keen Dr. Bamford lately ? Dr. Todd—Yes, yesterday; he was : then too unwell to attend. Another medical gentleman attending on Dr. Rim ford, having been sworn, stated that be had seen Dr. Bamford that morning, and he was too unwell to at tend. The depositions were then read and the cause of Cook's death was attributed to apoplexy, a certificate being given to that effect by Dr. Bamford. Dr. Todd then said—l have heard the depositions of Dr. Bamford read, and I cannot agree that the de ceased died from apoplexy. There were poisons which will produce tetanus. Those poisons which contain strychnine and brucia. The smallest quantity of these poisons that would kill would perhaps be half a graip, but I should not like to give a quarter of a grain. Half of a grain might produce death, but a grain certainly would. Half a grain would kill a cat. I have given it to animals in solution. A large dame would act in about half an hour. The symp toms would consist in strong convulsions. There would be violent jerking arising from the spasms. Death would be over in a quarter of an hour, or half an hour, if a dose sufficient to destroy life was given. There would be a marked distinction between that caused by strychnine and tetanus. I have heard the description given by Dr. Bamford of Cook's death, and I don't think he died from traumatic tetanus. I have seen a case of a person suffering from an overdose of strychnine. There would be a stiffness of the limbo, and the other symptoms that have been described. I ael of opinion from what I have beard that Mr. Cook's death resulted from tetanus produced by strychnine. Cross-examined by Mr. Grove—There are cases of every degree of convulsions—running from the mild 1 form into the tetanic form imperceptibly—but then there would be a difference in the muscles affected. The wit ness was then examined on the scientific effect of strych nine ma the human body, and also with reference to a work he has published bearing on the point, but which WaR devoid of interest to the general reader. He wae also examined with reference to the evidence of other • medical men on the effect of this poison. Witness continued—A speedy examination of the spinal cord immediately after death was imnortant iu a pathological point of view. Morbid appearances of the death are produced, sirnilating the appearance of disease before death. The signs of decomposition would be easily recognised. Granules upon the spinal as described, I think, were not likely to pro duce tetanus. I am not aware of any cases , were small granules on the arachnoid have produced tetanus. I think the cause of death from strychnine to arise partly from a difficulty of action in the respiratory organs, and partly from general nervous excitement. I think :there is a difference of opinion with reference to that, or whether the animals .experimented on died from asphyxia. I think the word " suffocated" is used loosely in the medical works. If an animal dies of asphyxia the heart is full of blood. I can't remember whether in my experiments on animals with strychnine it did not take effect for an hour or so after adminis tration. Cross examination continued—l think it very ur. likely tetanus should arise from that. I know of no such a case. In a case of traumatic tetanus, after the disease has taken a fatal turn, death ensues from 24 hours to 3 or 4 days. The shortest period might be 8 to 10 hours. The exact time cannot be precisely ascertained. The disease is continu ous. I have never known an interval of 24 hours between the attacks. From the description of Mr. Jones, the symptoms in the deceased were dif ferent from traumatic tetanus I have ever seen. There was here a sudden onset of the fatal symptoms. In all cases the disease would be preceded by the minor symptoms of tetanus, which gradually develope them selves into the more serious and fatal symptoms. On the Monday night I should think there were no symp• tomms in the deceased of either idiopathic or traumatic tetanus. There is also hysteric tetanus, hysteria combined with spasms, but I know of no instance of its being fatal, or of a male suffering from it. Nux ' vomica, in its two forms, will produce tetanus. No other poisons will produce it. I have never seen any oases of tetanus resulting from poison. Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—l have known spasms arise from a disease of the spinal cord. A disease of the nerves proceeding to the spinal cord might produce tetanus. I agree with Dr. Watson that in four cases out of five traumatic tetanus begins with lock-jaw, and that it frequently arises from slight causes, such as a blow from the lash of a whip under the eye, though the skin was not broken—the cutting a corn, bite of thefinger, &c. Traumatic tetanus I don't think could occur within a quarter of an hour after an injury. I know of .no such a case. Lord Campbell objected to the cross-examination being conducted from printed books. Cross-examination continued---I know of a case where a body being opened after death from tetanus, and sy philitic symptoms were discovered. It was not my case. The man was out of the hospital half an hour. I don't think it likely that a syphilitic sore, even if ex posed to wet or cold, would produce tetanus ; neither do I think any excitement would produce it. The con tractions of epilepsy are trot continuous for five minutes together. I do not know of a case of convulsions attri butable to no particular cause, but occurring violently Re-examined by the Attorney-General—l should ex pect to find the heart rather empty of blood, and rather contracted after the use of strychnine. Dr. Daniels, of Bristol, was called, and said,—l have retired from practice, and have seen a great many cases of tetanus. I agree with the medical gentlemen who have been examined. I have seen two cases of idiopathic tetanus, and one of which terminated fatally. The symptoms were not so severe as in the case of traumatic tetanus. I could not trace those causes. I agree with the statement of the prisoner's witnesses as to the causes of ordinary tetanus. I have heard a description of Cook's symptoms. They were distinct from the symptoms of the cases of tetanus I have seen. I agree with Sir Benjamin Brodie as to the points of distinction. Tetanus begins with uneasi ness in the lower jaw, followed by spasms of the muscles. I don't think the clenching of the hands is the effect of ordinary tetanus. I have seen a great many cases of syphillis. I never remember a sore from such a course produce tetanus. I do not consider Cook's symptoms were either apoplexy or epilepsy. In my judgment Cook's symptoms could not be referred to idecepathic or trumatic tetanus. Cross-examined by Mr. Groves—l am not aware of excitement or irritation proceeding from vomiting or tetanic convulsions. I have seen the bodies of persons who bad died from suffocation. (We shall continue it in our third edition.) The following are assigned by M. de Bazancourt as the reasons which led to the non-exezution of the plan of campaign proposed by the Emperor of the French in the letter to his Majesty, which we published yesterday : "If the Emperor renounced with regret the idea of his visit to the Crimea, it was also with profound griet that the army, which attended his arrival with impa tience, learned that the hope was to be given up. When Commandant Pave brought the Emperor's instructions from Paris, events had hurried onwards ; and already there appealed the germ of those differences which afterwards rose amongst the commanders of the allied troops. " The plan of operations was, according to the orders of the Emperor, communicated to the generals•in-chief ; but General Canrobert, by a presentiment which s , ron after was realised, (lid not shut his eyes to the difficul ties which were about to arise; and, in consequence, he despatched the following private despatch : " The three generals•in•chief are about to be called on to assume the offensive against the exteri , lr army, their point to proceed against being Simpheropol and Bakshi-Sergi ;• but, in these grave cireunastance,, I can not help deploring here the absence of a generalissimo, some man of great authority, high position, and suffi ciently old experience to dominate everything.' "That will always be in every army the essential point, as from the want of uuily in the chief command must always result delays, hesitations, and differences. That, it cannot be denied, was the great stumbline• block in the way of the Crimean expedition ; it existed always, at every moment, creating obstacles and delays, and throwing insurmountable difficulties around the expedi tion. "Lord Raglan had a decided dislike to the plan of operating on the exterior. At first he desired, in con cert with Omer Pacha, to operate by Eupatoria ; but the disadvantages of that movement were so evident, so incontestable, and so clearly enumerated is the plan of campaign, that the Allied Generals were constrained to yield to the just observations of the French General. "Then arose in the council a new difficulty—the road from Alouchta to Simpheropol appeared to Lord Raglan too exposed, and he considered that from Baidar to Baltshi-Serai preferable. But it was evident that Lord Raglan yiwlded from weariness of discussion and not from conviction; and the consequence was, that at each instant, and in every question of detail, the tacit oppo sition of his mind made itself felt without his intending it. "In face of the terrible and doubtful chances of a general assault, and of the perpetual menace of the north side of the town, which our attacks could not attain, and which would always escape from us, General Can robert, after so many disappointed hopes and so many unexpected and unfavourable events, attached to the projected operation so great an importance for the suc cess of the campaign that he did not hesitate to make the sacrifice of himself to what he regarded as the capital point of the situation. "In order to arrive promptly at a successful result, he proposed to Lord Raglan to give up to him (the EnglisbfGeneral) the supreme command, and he entreated Omer Facile most earnestly to follow his example and to act under the orders of Lord Raglan. "His lordship was for an int•tant astonished at this proposition, for tnere was in it a self-denial for the public good often difficult for even the mobt elevate f minds. It was, beside-, a heavy responsibi ity, the sudden weight of which, perhaps, terrified the English General. He at first refused, then hesitated, then accepted, and after wards demanded that the French troops should under take to occupy and defend the English trenches. "That strange proposition could not be accepted. The development of our lines already demanded for daily guard a large number of troops ; and it was ti ,, t poe bible, without serious inconvenience and an increase of daily loss of life, to augment the number. The Eug- !ishtrenches could alone be occupied by the En g lisTe Tue general refused. Front that moment there were no menus of coining to an understanding. Two conferences, toe first of which lasted nearly seven hours, could u,t vanquish the repugnance of Lord Raglan. The first blow sustained by the good relations which until then had existed between the two generals-in-chief was the recall of the K each expedition ; and the refusal of Lord Raglan to co-operate with the plan of attack proposed to him by General Canrobert was the last. In conse quence or this refusal, the position of the general-in chief of the FreLch army with respect to the troops whom he commanded, and to the chief of the allied :Limy, became almost untenable. " The resolution of General Caurobert in this circum stance was speedilytaken, he did not hesitate to sacrifice hia.self for the public welfare, acid to descend of his own freewill, and in the interest of the common, weal, from the elevated rank to which he had been raised by his Sovereign. It General Canrobert kept the real cause of his sudden determination secret, by ascribing it to his ill-health, he stateet the truth to his Sovereign. He thus writes to the Emperor on the 19th of May : " Tile little relative effect produced by the numerous and excellent batteries of the allies against Sebastopol ; the non-attack of our external lines by the enemy ; the re-opening of the fire, an aggressive measure which had appeared very probable, and on which I had founded hopes of a success more decisive than that of Inkerman ; the arduous difficulties which I have experienced in pre paring the execution of the plan of campaign of your Majesty, now become nearly impossible by the non co-operation of . the chief of the English army ; the very false position towards the English in which the latter has placed me ; the sudden recall of the Kertch expedition, to which, I have since discovered, they attached a great importance ' • the extraordinary moral and physical fatigues to which, for nine months, I have not ceased to be subjected; all these reasons, sire, have produced in my mind the conviction that I ought not to direct in chief au immense army, whose esteem, affection, and confidence I have been enabled to obtain. From that moment my duty towards your Majesty and towards the country was to demand my being replaced by the general for whom, in his intelligent foresight, the Emperor had confided to me aletter of the Commander-r e and who united the conditions of capacity, mural autnority, habit of conoucting great undertakings, wish the energy necessary to bring to a fortunate and serious result the vast enterprise with which the death of my predecessors and the will of the Emperor had charged me. The soldiers and the officers are all well acquainted vith the warlike qualities of General Pelissier,; they will give nim all their confidence, and the co-operation of us all is secured to him ; and I know that your new general-in-chief has the strongest faith i❑ his success. Your Majesty will allow me to observe that my name is too well known to the troops, whose confident affection has never ceased to do me honour, for me under exist ing circumstances not to remain in the midst of them, iu order, in their fatigues and danger 4, to net them a❑ ex amble of devotedness to the service and glory of the En perur and of France. I, therefore, request your Maje-ty to allow me to command a simple division in this fine and heroic army, whose conduct has conferred and will continue to confer so much honour on France.' " To the Minister of War he wrote thus : " The army which I leave to my successor has come omit of the rude and perilous trials it has had to undergo, toiler of ardour and conffleuee than ever. It is a glory for France, and has never ceased to be to me a source of consolation from the devotednews which it has show* towards me up to this day, and it is ready to ace nopiish the greatest undertakings which may be enjoined for the glory of the Emperor.' "After General Canrobert hall despatched by tele graph the communication recoried above, he requested the presence of General Pelissier in his tent, to whom tie confided his intention of lay ng down the chief com mand. Tue language uf General Canrobert greatly ha pressed General Pelissier, who in vain attempted to shake his resolution. General,' exclaimed the latter, lim plore you not to carry out your intention ; later you win bitterly regret having done so.' General Canrobert simply replied, 'To have performed my duty can never become to me a subject of regret.' He them described to his successor the position in which he was placed, and the difficult relations which existed between him and Lord Raglan, and which rendered his further presence at the head of the French army almost impossible. General Pelissier listened to his late commander with emotion, and once more requested him to delay the execution of the plan he had decided on. 'The despatch has left,' replied General Canrobert, and he handed to his successor a copy of it. General Pelissier read it, and then, in silence, shook the two hands of General Canrobert, and the generals separated. "The next day the following telegraphic despatch reached head-quarters : CRYSTAL PALACE—CONCERT DAY, FRIDAY, MAY 10. —Admission by season tickets only, 3,447. On Thursday Prince Metternich entered his 83d year. Next month the veteran diplomatist will take np his residence at a beautiful villa at Johannisberg, upon the Rhine. GRAND CONCERT AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The first of the long-announced series of grand concerts, sup ported by the principal members of the Royal Italian Opera Company, took place yt eterday, and was attended with such immense success as induces us to augur fa vourably for the result of the entire enterprise.

THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN PROPOSED defatigable support which has seconded my efforts during BY THE EMPEROR. i the different trials that we have passed through. For my own part I have asked of the Emperor, and now demand of our new commander•in•chief, not the honour of the command of an important corps•d'armile, to which the Emperor bits appointed me, but that of resuming the command of a division.' The emotion created by the latter words was intense, and was increased when Gen. Pelisier recalled the signal services rendered by Gen. Canrobert to the army and to his country. The inter view then came to an end.' " MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) COVENT GARDEN.
