A. GI AND BAZAAR will be held on WEDNES IAY, the 4th of June, and Two following days, by the kind per mission of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in the beautiful grounds of the TOXOPHOLITE SOCIET y, in the REGENT'S PARK, on behalf of the HosPr rAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BROMPTON, for the si ?ecial purpose of promoting the Fund to carry on this National and now extensive Charity, which is entirely sus tained 1 )3,- voluntary contributions. In am kouncing another Bazaar, the Committee beg leave to express their deep feeling of gratitude to the public for the generous patronage extended to the Bazaars held in former Years. The profits realised by them augmented so considera bly the fund by which the Hospital was built that but for these el forts the New Wing, which is now fully occupied, could h: we scarcely been commenced. The ) pressure of the times, however, with the heavy in crease 3f responsibility occasioned by the accommodation given t o 130 additional patients, and the opening of the Senator ium at Bournemouth, are considerations so important that the Committee appeal to the friends aid patrons of this valuabl a Institution with unusual earnestness to support them b y their presence at the Bazaar, and to prepare for the effort such articles of work as they may consider suitable, including paintings, drawings, &c. Donations also of music, minera' is, botanical specimens, manufactured goods, models of rase sanism, architectural and fancy designs, specimens of coins, birds, insects, books and other publications, authors' antogr aphs, autograph letters from celebrated man and wo . men, aiginal poetry, tales, flowers, &c., or pecuniary aid, forwai 'dad to the Hospital, will be gratefully received and ackno wledged.

SEASON Will COMMENCE on SATURDAY, the 10th of May. Om resuming the performances which have been suspended dur ing the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's Thi iatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and the. public, that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for this establishment that high position it so long maintained ; awil he trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more ' pr osperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour sold support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to be **; Iterainded were for so mas z y j eorse sooorded to a britliant and • Successful management- • ' `-•-• 1847, of many of those performers who ed to the Opera House was th 3 coni ng and arduous struggle to maintain the .1 house ; and it was not till the wealth of lour successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled retire from the contest. • From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a Permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient home. He has received liberal encouragement from every side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support from a quarter where the refinements of art and taste never fail to find a patron, ho is now enabled gratefully to announce the immediate resumption of performances. At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English Public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present season. Her Majesty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its situa tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and Interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera. In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some happy accident of construction a result has been attained that science has failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re zaotest recesses of the vast edifice. ^r; ✓~' . The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy Of the former repututiou of the Theatre, and of the just ex . Pectations of its distinguished supporters. In consequence of the late period at which it was resolved Open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is aped they will even now be found, are not yet fully coin • pleted ; and negotiations are in progress from which impor tant accessions are expected.

So far from it, Mr. Marcy et. pressed to Mr. Lumley his satisfaction with that despatch, and desired that he might be furnished with a copy of it, in order that he might show it to his colleagues. The undersigned must also farther observe that Mr. Marcy, in the same despatch, has misconceived the mean. ing of an expression used by the undersigned in making an offer, above referred to, that any man who might have been enlisted within the United States should be ithmedie ately discharged and sent back. The reference there mad to _British law was merely inte n d e d t o i n di cate t h at if per sons had been enlisted under the c i rcums t ances suppose d. such enlistment would have been at var i ance w ith B r iti s h, as well as with American law ; but th e un d ers i gne d did not. mean that respect would not bo paid, in the discharge of men, to the Iri iciples of the law of the United State; alone, should that law appear to have been violated in a single case. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• which reached them from the United States, that it would be difficult to prevent the execution of the contemplated arrangements from being attended by circumstances which might give rise to discussions between the two Govern ments. It was seen that, however strict might be the order of her Majesty's Government that nothing should be done ih contravention of the laws of the United States, and how ever Ecrupulow her Majesty's officers in America might be in obeying those orders, yet a misconception of the precise bearing of those laws might lead some of those officers un intentionally to overstep their limits, while other persons, 'either from honest zeal or for the sake of gain, or from a desire) to entrap her Majesty's officers, might do things at Variance the provisions of those laws. Her Majesty's Government, therefore, being most anxious that nothing should happen to disturb the good understanding between the two Governments, and being desirous of showing unequivocally their respect for the laws of the United States, at once, and of their own accord, determined to give up the further prosecution of the arrangements in question, and they accordingly sent out to Canada and to Nova Scotia on the 22d June, 185, orders to discontinue all further proceedings in the matter of enlistment for the Foreign Legion. . . A fortnight after these orders had been sent out, the undersigned received from Mr. Buchanan a note, dated Jelly 6, alleging that th e ne ut ra lity l aws o f th e United States had in many instances been violated by punch's tak ing steps, either with or without the approbation of the British Government, for the purpose of engaging or enlist isg within the United States recruits for the British ser vice ;- and Mr. Buchanan, in the conclusion of his note, stated that " the President would he much gratified to learn that her Majesty's Government had not authorised the proceedings complained of, bat hut condemned the conduct of its officials engaged therein, and had visited them with its marked displeasure, as well as taken deci sive measures to put a stop to conduct contrary to the law Of nations, the-laws of, the United States, and the comity which ough' ever to prevail in the intercourse between the two friendly Powers." The undersigned, in reply to this note, expressed to Mr. Buchanan, on the 16th of July, the regret of her Majesty's Government if the law of the United States had been in any way infringed by persons acting with or without au thority from her Majesty's Government ; and he stated that any such infringement of the law of the United States would be contrary to the wishes and the positive instruc twos of the British Government. The undersigned went on to explain his reasons for be lieving that n 9 person authorised to act for the British Government had violated the law of the United States ; and, in conclusion, he stated that the request of the Pre sident that decisive measures might be taken to put an end to these proceedings had been anticipated by the spon taneous act of her Majesty's Government, who had, a fort night before the receipt of Mr. Buchanan's note, sent oat orders to put an end to the arrangement for enlisting within the North American Provinces persons who might come there from other places. Mr. Buchanan, in reply, said, in a note dated the 18th of July, that he should feel much satisfaction in transmitting to his Government the note of the undersigned. So strong appears to have been the impression on the mind Zif Mr. Buchanan of the satisfactory nature of this communication, that when afterwards he received a de spatch from Mr. Marcy with renewed instructions to ad lii reply to the general statements of Mr. Marcy's de spatch, the undersigned must repeat that her Majesty's Government gave the most positive orders that no man should be enlisted or engaged within the territory of the United States, and that the neutrality laws. of the United States should bo strictly and scrupulously respected. But Mr. Marcy now contends that this was not enough, and though in conversation with Mr. Crampton, on the 22d of March, 1855, he said that he could not object to any num ber of persons going to Nova Scotia, to be there enlisted, provided the Neutrality Laws of the United States were not infringed, be now argues that the enlistment in Nova Scotia of persons coming thither from the United States was a violation f the policy of the United States, and that not to respect, that policy was an offence on the part of G. sal Britain against the sovereign rights of the United States. Now, in reply to this, the undersigned begs to observe, that the policy of a nation in regard to its internal ar rangements must be sought for in the laws of that nation; and what those laws forbid it must be understood to be the policy of the State to prohibit, and that what those laws do not forbid it must be understood to be the policy of the State to allow. In every State, whatever may be its form of GON•ernment, there is a sovereign power that sovereign p )wer may impose upon the subjects or citizens of such State what duties, obligations, and restrictions it may think fit, and it is a necessary conclusion that when the sovereign power puts a limit to its enactments, whether of Oligation or of prohibition, it means to leave its sub. jects or citizens free in regard to all matters not within the en. ct Dents of the law. This principle is ' indeed, admitted by Mr. Bnchanan's n o t e of the 6th of July, aherein he lay 4 it down that the neutral policy of the United States is defined and enforced" in the statute of 1818. Different c nintties have different laws in regard to the enlistment of their subjects and citizens in the military and naval service of other States, and these laws vary ao cording to the different policy of these countries with re. spect to such matters. In Great Britain the law not only prohibits recruiting or enlisting within the British dominions for the service of any foreign State, without the permission of the Sove reign, but it goes further, and prohibits any subject of her Majesty from so enlisting, even elsewhere, _without the royal permission. The policy of Great Britain hence ap pears to be to prevent British subjects from'entering at all into the service of foreign States without the permission of the Crown. The law of the United States appear to be different. Her Majesty's Government understood, and that understanding is eenfirmed by Mr. Bachanan's note of the 6th of July, that the law of the United Stateionlyforbide enlistMents. recruiting, and contracts or engagements withinthe'United States, and hiring or retaining persons to quit the United States with intent to be enlisted elsewhere, but it does not forbid citizens of the United States, who may have used their natural right of quitting the United States, to enlist into the service of a foreign State when they have left their own country. The sovereign power of the United States might, if it had chosen to do so, have followed its citizens with a prohibitory enactment beyond the territory of the United States ; but it has not thought fit to do so, and the just and inevitable conclusion is that what it might have forbidden, but has not forbidden, it has designedly allowed; that is to say, in other words, that it is the policy of the United States to prevent foreign enlistments within the United States, bat that it is not the policy of tie Unite States to forbid the citizens of the United States to enlist, whin out of the United States, into the service of foreign etal es, if they should choose to do so. Such being the state of this matter, it is obvious that the British Government cannot justly be charged with any disregard of the United States, nor with any disrespect to their sovereign rights, by taking into the Queen's military service any parsons who, having come from the United States, freely and without contract or engagement, into a British territory, might there be willing to enlist. The I oat questions at issue between her Majesty's Go vernment and that of the United States are, whether the Br.tish Government ordered or contemplated any vidation of the neutrality laws of the United States ; whether, if the British Government did n ot or d er or contmplate such violation, those laws were nevertheless violated by persons acting with the authority or approbation of the British Government ; and lastly, whether if any violation of the law of the United States did take place, sufficient satisfac tion has been given by the Government of that country. In regard to the first point, the British Government nei ther ordered nor contemplated any violation whatever of the laws of the United States, but, on the contrary, issued the most positive and repeated orders that those laws should not be infringed by any,persons acting under their authos. ritr. dress remonstrances to the British Government on the subject of the recruiting proceedings, he abstained from acting upon those instructions, and withheld Mr. Marcy's despatch containing them from the knowledge of her Ma jesty's Government, obviously because he perceived by its date, July 15, that it was written long before the note of the undersigned of July 16 could have been received by Mr. Marcy, and because he cmcluded that wlvn that note should have been received the Government of the United States would be satisfied with its contents. For a con siderable time this conclusion appeared well founded. On Sept. 5, however, Mr. Marcy addressed a note to Mr. Crampton, not alleging that fresh subjects of complaint had arisen since the receipt in America of the British or ders of the 22d June, but going back to the same transac tions to which Mr. Buchanan's note of the 6th of July had adverted, and renewing all his original complaints, as if no notice had been taken of his former representation, as if no regret lesol been expressed, and as if no measures Lad been. adopted to put au instant stop to the proceedings out of which his complaints had originated. A communicatiosi so much at variance with what Mr. Buchanan's note of the 18th of July had led her Majesty's Government to expect might well be received with some feelings of surprise, inasmuch as they believed that they had given to the Government of the United States every satisfaction which one Government could reasonably ex pect to receive from another in a case of this kind. The undersigned, however, on the 27th Sept., replied to Mr. Marcy's note, answering the allegations renewed in it, and repeating that her Majesty's Government had no reason to believe that any of her Majesty's servants, or any agents duly authorised by them, had disregarded the in junctioas to respect and to obey the laws of the United States. _ In regard to the second point, Mr. Marcy alleges tha notwithstanding the orders of the British Government officers and agents of that Government did within' the United States do things which were a violation of the neu trality laws of the United States ; and Mr. Marcy specifi cally makes this charge against her Majesty's consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York. With respect to Mr. Crampton the undersigned has to stiev that Mr. Crampton positively and distinctly denies the charge brought against him ; he declares that he never hired, or retained, or engaged a single pers.. within the United States for the service of her Majesty, and that he never countenanced or encouraged any violation of the law of the 'United States. The charge brought against Mr. Crampton is mainly founded upon evidence given by Stro bel on the trial of Hertz, and on the so called "confession of Hertz himself. One of these persons, Strobel, was , in con seq.:Junco of his miscondu c t, oisinissed from ewployment by the Lieut.-Governor of Nova Scotia, at Halifax, and afterwards applied to Mr. Crampton, and endeavoured to extort money from him by a threat, which was of course disregarded. The undersigned has the honour to transmit as inclosure to this note documents which sufficiently prove that both Strobel and Hertz are wholly unworthy of cre dit. It is impossible for her Majesty's Government to set the assertions of such men as these against the declara tion of Mr. Crampton, a man of unquestionable honour. The undersigned must, indeed, remark that the whole rr iceeding in regard to the trial of Hertz was of such a nature that, whilst her Maj esty's Minister and herMaiesty's Consuls might be, and indeed were, inculpated by the evi dence of unscrupulous witnesses, that Minister and those consuls had not any means or any opportunity of rebutting the charges which were thus incidentally and indirectly brought against them. _ Nevertheless the Government of the United States still considered this answer unsatisfactory, and on the 13th of October, Mr. Marcy addressed' another despatch on these matters to Mr. Buchanan, which was communicated to the underAgned on the let of Nov. In that despatch Mr. Marcy renews his general assertions that her Majesty's officers in *maxis& . had violated—the—law& of_the.lTnited States ; he refers to his despatch of the 15th July, which Mr. Buchanan had abstained from communicating on the supposition that the note of the undersigned of the 16th July had finally settled the question at issue, and he states that the said despatch of the 15th of July indicated the satisfaction which the Government of the United States believed it had a right to claim front the Government of Great Britain. • This despatch of the 15th of July, which was not com municlted to the underigneol by Mr. Buchanan till the 2cl of November, concludes by saying that " the President is disposed to believe that her Majesty's Government has not countenanced the illegal proceedings of its officers and agents since its attention was first directed to the subject, and will consider it alike duo to itself and to the United States to disavow their acts and deal with them in such a manner as their grave offence merits," but that, " as re cruiting for the British army, in the mode alluded to, is still prosecuted (as ho believed) within the United States, by officers and agents employed for the purpose, the Pre sident instructs Mr. Buchanan to say to her Majesty's Go vernment that ho expects it will take prompt and effective measures to arrest their proceedings, and to discharge from service those persons now in it who wore enlisted within the United States, or who left the United States under contracts made hero to enter and serve as soldiers in the British army. This, then, is the satisfaction which, as late as the 13th of October, Mr. Marcy declared was that which the Go vernment of the United States demanded. With regard to her Majesty's Consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York, they all equally deny the charges %%hie' have been brought against them, and they declare that they have in no way w h a t ever i n f r i nge d th e laws of the United States. With respect to the first part of this demand, her Ma jesty's Government deny that any illegal proceedings wore, so far as they knew, committed by its officers or autho rised agents, and therefore they have none to disavow, and no officers or agents to deal with as offenders. With regard to the other points specified by Mr. Marcy, the un dersigned on the 16th November, deeming it respectful to the Government of the United States to do so, entered into a detailed, and, as he had hoped, a satisfactory reply to the arguments and statements contained in Mr. Marcy's despatch of the 13th of October. In that reply the under signed stated that the most material point, that of the alleged recruitin 7, had been already disposed of; for, nearly four months before the date of that despatch the recruiting arrangements and proceedings had been abandoned by orders sent by her Majesty's Government ou the 22d June; and that the second part of the satisfaction required it was not in their power to give, because no person had to their knowledge been enlisted within the United States, or left the United States under contract made therein to enter into service in the British army. And be further added that if it could be shown that any men had been so enlisted, they should immediately be discharged and sent back to the United States. - - With respect to Mr. nowcroft, her Majesty's Consul at Cincinnati, the undersigned has to observe that legal pro ceedings against that gentleman are still pending. As to the origin, character, and nature of those proceedings, the undersigned might have much to say; but, us they are still pending, ho abstains from doing so. He must, how ever, be permitted to remark that it would, at all events, be inconsistent With the phinest principles of justice to assume as cstali hod, charges wl it:3h sr., still the subject matter of judicial investigation. The accusation against Mr. Mathew, her Majesty's Con sul at Philadelphia., rests entirely upon assertions made by H e rtz. Those assertions aro positively denied by Mr. Mathew; and her Majesty's Government can scarcely be lieve that the Government of the United States, with the knowledge which it will have obtained of the character of Hertz, will hesitate to concur with the Government of her Majesty in giving credit to Mr. Mathew. With respect to Mr. Barclay, her Majesty's Consul at New York, he declares that ho neither favoured the al leged recruiting ner participated in it, nor was informed of the hiring, retaining, [or engaging any man for that purpose. The undersigned thus showed that the satisfaction claimed by the Government of the United States had long since been gi , en as far as it was in the nature of things possible to give it, and, in addition to the satisfaction asked for, he expressed the regret of her Majesty's Government if aiything had been done by any person, authorised or un authorised, which could be considered an infringement of the law of the United States. Her Majesty's Government cannot but accept the denial of these gentlemen as more worthy of belief than the as sertions and evidence of such men as Hertz and Strobel. But Mr. Marcy considers that the conduct of Mr. Barclay in the affair of the barquo Maury ought to be an additional reason why her Majesty's Government should recall him. Upon this the undersigned must observe that Mr. Barclay received information on oath from persons in the service of the United States, leading to the belief that the barque Maury was fitting out with designs hostile to British interests, and at variance with the neutrality laws of the United States. It was Mr. Barclay's bounden duty to communicate that information mithout delay to her Majesty's Minister at Washington. Mr. Barclay did so, and his direct action in the matter was then at an end. Mr. ezamptou submitted this information to the proper authorities of the United States in order that they might determine what proceedings, if any, it might be right to and d uc n h optrboyeemed r. take thereupon. The officer s of the Un ited States consi dered the prima facie easeaognaitnhsetirtlipearMt.sury to be suffi cientn proceedin gs gn d by them, proceed ings to call wore. for,eordily instituted Barclay, whose conduct in regard to the Maury was in strict performance of his duty, and received the approval of her Majesty's Government. It might naturally have been supposed that the corres pondence would here have ended. Regret had been expressed for any infringement of the law of the United States, if any had taken place, notwithstanding the positive and repeated orders of her Majesty's Government to the contrary. The satisfat;iiuu rho o•rorntnont of the - United States. after mature deliberation had demanded, bad either been spontaneously and by anticipation granted, or had been shown to be impracticable because there was no man in the British service whose enlistment, or contract to enlist, had, to the knowledge of her Majesty's Government, taken place in the manner specified by Mr. Marcy in his despatch of the 15th of July, and whose oischarge, therefore, could form part of the satisfaction indicated by Mr. Marcy. Her Ma jesty's Government, however, expressed their readiness to give that satisfaction also, if any case should be established to which it could apply. With regard to the last point, the undersigned must re fer to the offers of satisfacti on , an d to theexplanath already made, and to the repeated expression of sincere hs,eranMdajteostYth'seiGr o r v e e i t r e n r m a t e e n d t , directions,i , co ntr contrary h t o e r t e h h e s i r intend regret of been any infringement of the laws of the United States. The undersigned has now had the satisfaction of com municating to the Government of the United States the statements and declaration of her Majesty's Minister tt Washington, and of her Majesty's Consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Now York, as to the conduct imputed to them. The Government of the United States had been led to suppose that the law and the sovereign rights of the United States had not been respected by her Majesty's Govern ment, and relying upon evidence deemed to be trustworthy, they believed that that law and those rights had been in fringed by British agents. If such had been the case, the Goveinment of the United States would have been entitled to demand, and her majesty's Government would not have hesitated to afford, the most ample satisfaction, for no dis credit can attach to the frank admission and complete re paration of an unquestionable wrong. Her Majesty's Go. vernment, however, unequivocally disclaim any intention either to infringe the law, or to disregard the policy, or not to respect the sovereign rights of the United States, and the Government of the tasted States will cow, for the first time, learn that her Majesty's Minister at Washing ton, and her Majesty's Consuls at New Yor k, Philadelphia , anti Cincinnati, solemnly affirm that they have n o t com mitted any of the acts that have been imputed to them. The Government of the United States will now, also for the first time, have an opportunity of weighj,ng the decla rations of four gentlemen of unimpeached honour and in tegrity against evidence upon which no reliance ought to be placed. The undersigned cannot but express the ear• nest hope of her Majesty's Government that these explana tions and assurances may prove satisfactory to the Go vernment of the United States, and effectually remove any misapprehension which may have hitherto existed ; and he cannot doubt that such a result will afford as mush pleasure to the Government of the United States as to that of her Majesty, by putting an end' to a difference which has been deeply regretted by her Majesty's Govern ment ; for there are no two countries which are bound by stronger ties or by higher considerations than the United States and Great Britain to maintain unbroken the rela tions of perfect cordiality and friendship.—The under signed, &c. (Signed) CLARENDON. Her Majesty's Government were, however, disappointed in the confident expectation which they had entertained that this further explanation would prove satisfactory, for on the 29th of January of the present year Mr. Buchan_a; communicated to the undersigned a despatch from ' 3l • Marcy, dated the 28th of December preceding, ented recapitu lating the complaints of the Government of . t States, and making a demand in the way .°111„. satisfaction... different from those which were mentioned Mr. Marcy's note of the 15th of July, and which w ere sa fie i f s e fa r d despatch of the 13th of October as the ctio . n whic in h s the Government of the United Statesbelieved itself en titled to claim. This demand consisted in an application for the recall of her Majesty's Minister at Washington, and of her Majesty's Consuls at Philadelphia, New York, and Cincinnati. It will naturally be asked whether any new ground had been found for this demand, or whether any new event had happened between the 13th of October and the 28th of December, in which these officers of her Majesty had been concerned. Nothing of the kind had ta k en place, and the accusations made against their offi cers in Mr. Marcy's despatch of the 28th of December rest u pon statements which were equally within the know ledge of the Government of the United States on the 13th of October, when no such demand was mado. Before the undersigned proceeds to reply to Mr. Marcy's note of December 28, he must notice an erroneous con struction which Mr. Marcy has there put upon a passage in a despatch of the 12th of April, 1855, from the under signed to Mr. Crampton, which was communicated to him by Mr. Marcy. The passage is as follows :—" I entirely applove of your proceedings as reported in your despatch No. 57, of the 12th ultimo, with respect to the proposed enlistment in the Queen's service of foreigners and British subjects in the United States." Mr. Marcy assumes, and argues upon the assumption, that the meaning of this passage was, that the enlistments of the persons mentioned, and which were approved of by her Majesty's Government, were to take place within the United States ; whereas, the sentence, according to its obvious meaning, relates to foreigners and British subjects resident in the United States. Tho word " It" has reference to the place where they resided, and not to the place where they were to be enlisted ; and if any doubt could arise on this point that doubt must have been removed by the concluding passage, which adverts to the neutrality law of the United States, and says that her Majesty's Government would on no ac- I count run any risk of infringing that law. This construc tion of the passage under consideration does 110 t appear to LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1856. PUBLICATIONS.

[A. part of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday.] The Board re msembled at the usual hour. Mr. Assistant-Commissary General Crookshank asked the Board to call upon the Adjutant-General or the Quartermaster-General to pro.duce Lord Raglan's letter, containing an expression of his lordship's disapprobation cf that conduct for which he (Mr. Crookshank) was placed under arrest by Lord Lucan. The Judge-Advocate-General asked Mr. Crookshank to state in which department he expected the letter could be found. 'Mr. Crookshank said be did not believe such a letter was in existence. Lord Lucan had expressed a belief that it wa , , and he (Mr. Crookshank) wished it to be produced if it were in existence. The correspondence in connection with his arrest paised between Lord W. Panlett and Mr. Filder. The Court cave no intimation of their intention to comply with Mr. Crookshank's request. Sir R. Airey was sailed on to retsume his statement, but before doing so asked Colonel Tulloch if the notes of the evidence of Colonel Wetheirall, handed into the board in accordance with his (Sir• R. Airey's) request, were the original notes of the evidence given by the gallant colonel before the commander in the Crimea I - Colonel Tulloch said he believe& they were. The evi dence was taken by him, and c‘r:as in his own hand writing. Colonel Wetherall's evidence was mixed up with that of Colonel Gordon's; and when the evidence was sent to the latter for correct ion, he re-wrote it, sending back only the copy. Sir R. Ailey—Where are the original minutes! Colonel Tulloch—Colonel Gordon has got them. Colonel Gordon said he had never had any other do cument in his possession than that now produced. The Judge-Advocate General-14eneral Airey wants the original minutes taken by the Commander in the Crimea. Colonel Tulloch said he could niot sea why this appli cation was persisted in. Colonel Wetherall and Colons Gordon could both be called and ec.uld state if there was anything wrong in their evidenet% He would make search for them, but his belief wari that there were none others in existence but those produced. Gen. Airey—The object I have in asking for the pro duction will appear hereafter. In reply to a question from the .3-ridge-Advocate-Gene ral, Gen. Airey said it was difficult to point out the bpwaisisicages par ticular passages in iu t i h xe e d r u eport i to le. They we P re w to t he w h objected, e of sentences in the e found in sentences, whole of the London his o f the answers 37 t h page, were Prampu parts rnths i their aeentdi e bitsn beingaij report, to the end of the sixth line He proceeded to say that befor z : given to the string of queries scut Tul t o e stated t to him by the Com lr rd in r ix i i n o l n i nearrsy, Sirreport, J.l‘ ,4 l: h N i e i l e i l in a nd some epectsiffered had that mad e t h a p e th t a h t: :d spo report e before mate rially from that which had been J Parliament ; a nd the very first sentence of Commissioners had completed w ould be found in the archives of the Secretary The rep or t Secretary at War's department, and he believed it Conte' sion upon t he conduct of h imself rd Lorded noanimadver sion Lucan or any other officer. That prelimin ary took all the p oison out of the report, he thou g ht, queries, and h e therefor© ga ve himself litt l e more th e m. Ho then proceeded to point trouble about Commissioners had been led into out that the misapprehensions i n reference to the duties and p owers o f the Quart ter -General's office by misconceptions as t o er-Mae the signature o f checks and returns, and went counter into details with a view to show how the system looked, and the nature of the mistaken opinions which prevailed. (Sir R. Airey) s p eciall y appointed C,,i. He Wetherall as sub distributor of stores, in order to avoid undue,apearance of formality ; an d, in order to take additional care,p he gave instructions that no re q uisitions sho uld be refused with out especial reference to him, and the Assistant Quar termasters were ordered to go to the Commissariate Stores every day, in order to make themselves ac quainted with wh at there was available for the troops ; and the conseque nce of this was, that articles which he ' did not find in the returns of the Commissa riat in Store keeper, the As sistant-Quartermaster foun dthe stores. He bad e ver y reason to believe tha t the sub departments had been administered in accordance with the spirit of t he g eneral instructions. li e believed that the chief su fferin g s of the arm y arose out u p of the difficulty th at was experienced in brin ging bales of goods from the sea t o a ca mp pitched ' ` seven miles off. (Sir R. Airey quoted extensively from th e evidence of several officers in support of his statements.) The great wants w ere, however, labour and transit, and as the sufferings of the men increased the dificienc ies in those respects were felt in p ro p ortion, and in ord er to show that he took every means to get rid of official routine, he mentioned that, by the regulations of the War-office forms were issued with twenty-four blanks to be filled up before a man could obtain a great coat which forms however were thrown aside and another ' issued with Lord Raglan's consent with but one blank in it to be filled up before signed by him (Sir R. Airey). Regulations for warm clothin g were issued faster th an the men could fetch it. The failure of transport and the overworking of the men were questions which did not touch his peculiar responsibility. He emphatically disclaimed the possibility of any two individuals, whether civilians or military men, coming to the Crimea in the middle of March, and be able to arrive at a fair report or opinion upon what could or could not be done by the army there, placed as it was in a position of difficulty—beyond all human conception—and in the middle of winter. Sir Richard Airey concluded his statement with an elaborate panegyric on the conduct of the la's Lord Raglan during the time he commanded the army in the East. The Judge-Advocate-General—Do you intend to call witnesses to-day, General Airey ? General Airey—Yes. The . Committee ajourned for half an hour. On the re-assembling of the Board, Sir Ri • chard Airey, in reply to a question from Sir W. Rowan relative to the army lauding in the Crimea . without their, knapsacks raid, that the phy sical state of the men was sack that it was consi dered better they should land in as light rnarchingpler as possible. Ou the voyage across t h e Bl ac k Sett the men died fast from cholera, and they were thrown over board .to an alarming extent. As this was the first night of the army's bivouacking in the enemy's territory, it was considered desirable by Lord Raglan that the men should substitute a blanket and a change of clothes for the knapsack. In Bulgaria the men had suffered so much from heat that their knapsacks had to be carried for them. The Commissioners conclusions with refer ence to the sufferings of the men from want ,of their knapsacks were founded in error. Inquiries were made every day as to the state of the men, and reports were each morning laid before Lord Raglan. Col. Wetherell was then called, and examined by Sir R. Airey—He said that his evidence was taken in a conversational manner by the Commissioners in the Crimea, Col. Teillech writing down as much as he pleased. He certainly did see it afterwards, but he did not sign it. The printed evidence in the blue-book was not the evidence he gave before the Commission ers, but the written document produced contained something of what he said: The first time be saw his evidence in a .collective form, ..was yesterday in • that room. He had no recollection of the Commissioners offering him his evidence for correction, and none that he remembered had been made in it at his directions. The evidence in•the blue book did no t contain the whele of his evidence given before the Commissioners in the Crimea. Many explanations which he gave to account for delays were not printed.

(Loud cries of "No, no I" " Hear, hear," teed movement.) Mr. READ spoke warmly in favour of the motion. 'He would not say that the event about to be commemorated was the termination of a glorious war; but it was cer tainly. a glorious peace. (Cheers.) The question was, whether what had just taken place was an _honourable termination of a great struggle t He contended that it was, for everything had been by means - of it put upon such a footing as must lead to lasting good (fleets. -He could see why the con dderation of the subject shou'd be adjourned.

Mr. HOPOOOD differed from Alderman Sidney as to the construction likely to be placed upon the 'language and meaning of the address. There was nobody, who would not receive gratification at finding that the hor rors of war were at an end, and to express that sentiment in an address to the Queen would be a- singular way of toadying to the Ministers. Mr. Ross said, the treaty was a glorious one, and would be remembered to the credit of the age. He de possessed the Wonderful material of her greatness in full vipur, but that very display betrayed by its contrast - tits wretched mismanagement which this country had so much reason to deplore. The peace. would, he readily admitted;be:a subject fit for congratulation if it were a scribed the effects of the war as having greatly exceeded the general expectation in the destruction of the alarm ing power of Russia and the accomplishment of perma nent benefits for the world, an f he believed that Turkey would, if England did make more haste, appear fore most in the race of religious liberty. Mr. JONES said he trusted the Court would be unani mous upon the subject. It bad been the practice of the Court to address the Crown on the achievement of peace, and the present was an occasion of sincere congratula tion on what was the greatest of all blessings. Sir P. LAURIE supported the motion. The worse the war was conducted the greater would he the necessity for peace. He looked upon peace as a great blessing, particularly when it put an end to mismanagement among the other desperate evils attending it. (A laugh.) Alderinan CUBITT said he was anxious fer peace in common with his fellow-subjects, and he was surprised to hear, as he did sometimes hear, that the peace just ratified was a sham, a rotten peace. (Hear.) He had read the treaty, ,He had read all the protocols with great attention, and everything was as clear to hiniPas if 1 he had been present in the room in which the confer ences had been held. The treaty was founded upon most equitable principles. He would not call the peace a glorious peace. That was not the word, for the word " glorious," applied to one side, meant " degrading" upon the part of the other. (Cheers) It was a' fair arbitration of all the difficulties which surrounded the conditions of those principally interested, end which were likely to arise. The allies went into the war with an avowed object. They sought no aggrandisement, and they required of Russia what was necessary for the general security, and they obtained it. Nothing could be more fair than the spirit with which the important coeferences were carried on and the unanimity which' "marked their termination. (Cheers.) Alderman COPELAND said the proceedings of the Court were premature. There were some explanations nebessary as to the circumstances of the treaty. His friend (Alderman Cubitt) said that the treaty was a fair arbitration. Had the award been made I (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) It would be agreeable to ascertain some thing about the commissioners appointed to regulate as to the important business of the navigation of the Da nube and other essential matters before the Court came to a detormi-ation, such as that which seemed to have a majority of supporters in Court. They should think of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. (Rear, and " No, no !") The Court might rely upon it that there would be num berless disputes among the commissioners. (" No, no ) Why, he would ask, if the allies had a right to be offended with Russia, had they not asked the Emperor to settle the bilt ? (Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") Ho must deolare in conclusion, that never was there a peace which was looked upon with such apathy as the peace which had been described as just ratified. Mr. BESLEY did not understand why peoplp casilled at the propositions. He had read the treaty and the pro tocols, and he was compelled to confess that Lard Clarendon bad .praved himself, in the whole of the nego tiations, a much greater man than he bad ever sup posed his lordship to be. (Roar, hear.) There was uo doubt of a secure peace ; he would not say a lasting peace, because who in the present state of t he world could expect any great permanency t But he looked upon the mention of arbitration as most propitious to the great interests of humanity. (Hear, hear.) He would support the motion, but he would watch the ad dress, so that not a word would appear in it in favour of the bungling of the Government. Alderman ROSE said Alderman Copeland had asked why Russia had not been asked to pay the bill ; but the question was, whether Russia, if she had been able to pay the bill, could have stopped the war. (Hear, hear.) He argued strongly in favour of the motion. Alderman KENNEDY'S proposition was then put and unanimously agreed to, and a committee having pre pared the address, it was unanimously and amid loud cheers agreed to. ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES. The correspondence relating to the conduct of Mr. Crampton, the British Minister at Washing ton, has been laid before Parliament. There is nothing in this large volume that has not already been substantially communicated to the pulelic through the columns of The Sun. We therefore confine ourselves to the reproduction of the last despatch from the Earl of Clarendon, which closes the correspondence : No. 84. TAR EARL OF CLARENDON TO MR. DALLAS. Foreign-office, April 30,1856. The undersigned, &c., had the honour to receive, on the 29th of January, from Mr. Buchanan, Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at this Court, a copy of a despatch dated the 28th of the pre vious December, addressed to Mr. Buchanan by Mr. Marcy, Secretary of State of the United States, containing observations on a despatch which the undersigned had di rected her Majesty's Minister at Washington to communi cate to Mr. Marcy. Mr. Marcy's despatch was in continua tion of the discussion which had bcon some time pending between the two Governments, on the subject of the con duct, which was alleged by the Government of the United States to have been pursued by certain of her Majesty's °floors in giving effect to the intentions of her Majesty's Government to receive into the military service of the Queen any persons who, corning from any quarter into her Majesty's dominions, might there be willing to engage in that service. The undersigned has hitherto deferred replying to Mr. Marcy's despatch, net only because it was more consistent with the respect which her lAiajesty's Government enter tain for the United states, thoroughly to inquire into the allegations contained in it, but also because it was just and right towards her Majesty's Officers whose conduct was impugned, to put them in possession of the charges brought against them, and to give them that opportunity of expla n.tina and defence which was then fur the first thou af forded them. The undersigned, before he adverts to Mr. Marcy's last despatch, must express his deep regret that the Govern ment of the United States should have deemed it necessary to continue a controversy on a question which Mr. Buch anan considered at the time would be finally settled by the note of the undersigned of July 16, 1855—a note which Mr. Buchanan said he would transmit with much satisfaction to his Government. The undersigned had, indeed, hoped that that note, together with his subsequent communica tions of the 27th of Sept. to Mr. Buchanan, and of the 16th of Nov., through Mr. Crampton, to the Government of the United States, would have been accepted by a friendly Government such as that of the United States, as a satisfaction for any offence which that Government might have been led by circumstances to think had, though unintentionally, been given. For what has been the course of the transactions which have given rise to this correspondence ? On the breaking out of the late war between the Western Powers and Russia, the British Government was informed that many persons resident within the United States— some natives of the continent of Europe, and some natu ral-born subjects of her Majesty—were desirous of entering into the military service of Great Britain. The British Government, believing the information they had received on this matter to be well founded, took steps to avail themselves of this disposition, and gave directions that any persons presenting themselves within the British North American Provinces, willing to enlist and found fit for service, should be engaged for the British army. But her Majesty's Government gave the most positive orders that in making arrangements for this purpose nothing should be done to infringe in any manner whatsoever the neutra lity laws of the United states. It was not doubted that such arrangements might be carried into execution without any violation of those laws, because those laws prohibit enlistments or engagements only within the territories of the United States ; they do not forbid citizens of the United States or residents therein from leaving those territories, nor do they forbid such citizens or other persons from engaging or enlisting in mili tary service elsewhere, when of their own free will and without any previous contract or engagement they may have left those territories. The intentions of the British Government, and the ar rangements made to carry those intentions intoesecution were not concealed from the Government of the United States. • Those intentions and arrangements were frankly stated by Mr. Crampton to Mr. Marcy in a conversation on the 22d of March, 1855, and the only observations which Mr. Marcy made in reply were, that the neutrality laws of the United States would be rigidly enforced, but that any num ber of persons who desired it might leave the United States, and get enlisted in any foreign service. Up to this point, therefore, there was no misunderstand ing as to the purpose of the British Government, and no difference of opinion as to the legality of the course which that Government intended to pursue. 4 But the British Government soon found, by accounts 0 r 0 ' ' - -.'"" r' Fellow of the College of Physicians, late Senior Physician to the Royal Infirmary for Diseases of the Chest, ice.

Yesterday a special CJurt was held in consequence of a requisition numerously signed "to consider of an ad drss to her Majesty upon the definitive treaty of peace between the Allies and his Imperial Majesty the Empe ror of All the Russias." Complaint was made by several aldermen that they had not received summons to attend so important a meet ing of the Common Council, and by several Common Couecilmen that they had not received summons to at tend upon the interesting occasion of the proclamation of peace. The Town-Clerk said that all which was sanctioned by practice and precedent on both occasions had been done, and it was loudly asserted that the difficulty was solely occasioned by the separation of each Court from the other, and could only be removed by their complete union. (A larch.) . Ald(rrnan and Sheriff KENNEDY said—l have reason to be proud of the position in which the kindness of my fellow-citizens has done me the honour to place me, and which has given me the privilege of taking a leading part in the ceremonial of the proclamation of peace, and in now being their representative to deliver the senti ments which I believe they feel on the present imp )rtant occasion. el preparing a address to the Throne curve-.- mg our con,ratnlatien= to our beloved Sovereign. (Hear, hear.) Let rae ref rto the history of the two years past, and see what are th - subjects of congratulation. We can never forget the ekp.'ession of " having drifted into the war," which marked the most anxiou3 solicitude on our part to avoid it. Every resource of explanation and solicitation was exhausted--no spirit of aggression existed on our ; art—no thirst for glory and no lust for acquisi tion—the one object now attained was all we sought— the maintenance of the integrity and independence of, the Ottoman empire. (Hear, ln ar.) Nor was the war ho result of our resistance to aggression. The Ottoman Government, with a spirit whicn can never be too much admired, defied the overwhelming force of their oppo nent, and on their own responsibility declared war, and marched their army to the protection of their frontier. Nor is it solely the grand principle which we have as serted. We have substanteti guarantees—the destruc tion of the Black Sea fleet, the capture and overthrow of the standing menace, and the Sea of Azoff swept; Kertch, Yeniteale, and Yinbourn taken and held;; the Black Sea neutralised ' • the Danube opened ; and equal rights granted by the Sultan to his Christian'subjects ; for triumphs which speak to the future, and give us a glorious pledge that the aggression which has been i n brooding preparation for a century has been effectually met and disposed of. A mere word will sometimes re cord a history • and if you refer to the .53d chapter of gibbon you will find a learned discussion on the word "Sebastopol," which will show that the very name was intended to convey the avowed f ,et , hat the fortress was meant as a .tanding menace to indicate the advancing. policy of Russia. 'This is not the arena for the discou sion of the conduct of those who carried on the war. The object of the war not being conquest we have eb tained all that we were bound to ask. The Russian frontier, for the first time in history, has receded. Half a million of men, the flower of the Russiau army and navy, have perished ; the first aggression was signally repulsed, and the invaders driven out of the Turkish territories. Since that event the Allies have been the assailants, and every assault has terminated iejeriously to Russia, while the poor compensation of the acqui,i tion of Kars was by no means a triumph to the Russian arn,y, which was desperately repulsed on the last occa sion they ventured to attack. The result of the war and the exhau:tion of men. and means have thus read a lesson to the most encroaching and domineering Power the world ever saw, that it must no longer look to war for the promotion of the prosperity of its people. The alderman then directed the attention of the Court to the fact that England was taunted with the vice of being unprepared for war ; that while France was able to pour in her most capable leaders to the seat of war from Algeria, England was prohibited by the fatal interposition of routine from transferring from her territories in the East to the scene of notion the persons best qualified to accomplish the great objects of the war. He trusted and believed thatan amend rent in thatrespect would spring from onr recent experience, and that the project of placing the right men iu the right places would supplant the pernicious action of the old system. He spoke with admiration of the terms in which the procla mation of the thanksgiving was expressed, alluded to the prediction of Napoleon, that Russia was to be checked by the union of England and France alone, and earne-tly hoped that the union which at present so harmoniously existed between those two great nations would render the proclamation of any future peace unnecessary. He then briefly adverted to the conduct of the German States, and their present position and weight in the scale of European Powers. He expressed confidence in the great future prosperity of Turkey and in the spread of Christian enlightenment there, and he conclude', after warmly approving the articles of the treaty against pri vateering and the amelioration of war as respected neu trals, by moving,— " That a loyal and dutiful address of congratulation be presented to her Majesty on the auspicious event of a defi nitive treaty between the allies and his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of All the Russia, for the restoration of peace and the maintenance of the integrity and independence of the Ottoman empire." (Cheers.) Three Common Councilmen rose to second the motion of Alderman and Sheriff Kennedy, but it was deter mined 'ov bhe vote of the Court that the honour should be conferred upo❑ Mr. Rowley, who, as chairman of one of the principal committees, was considered to be enti tled to the distinction. Mr. ROWLEY then rose and said the hon. alderman who introduced the proposition bad given such admirab reasons for desiguating the peace a glorious event that he would do nothing more than merely second the mo tion. - _ _ Mr. GREsHeu said he neard wILII eurprlse the grouud upon which the motion for the address was sustained. He, as a matter of course, felt grateful to Providence for peace ; but how any one could call the peace which had just been proclaimed a glorious peace he could not comprehend. He condemned the whole conduct of those who had carried on the war for the palpable de• fects in the system of preparation and administration ; and be considered the abaudonmentof Rare to the enemy to be a test of their most cruel treachery. He thanked God, but he did not thank the Government , for the peace. (Laughter and cries of "Hear. ) He did not think that any glory was achieved by the siege of Sebastopol, and he was decidedly opposed to the idea of presenting an address of an humble and cringing character to such men as the present Government was composed of. Deputy DAMN deprecated the language used by Mr. Gresham, which he said was not justified by any obser vation used by Alderman Kennedy. The effect of the late war would be to teach the Emperor of Russia and his people no longer to directothefr energies to war, but to the arts of civilisation and peace, and the mover w as perfectly justified in desoribingthe nature and quality of the lesson which bad been given to the aggressor. Alderman SIDNEY was quite at a loss to know why such a subject should engage the attention of the Court. He could not see why her Majesty should be addressed upon such a matter. It was well known that the Queen was relieved from all responsibility by her Ministers, so that the Court were about to go to her Majesty to praise the very persons who had not proved that they merited approbation. He a p prove d the appointment of a day of thanksgiving fee peace, but if the address meant anything it meant that the Court applauded those who advised the war and conducted it. (Cries of "no, no.") The matter would have kept very well for a week or a fortnight at any rate, and they would then have the opportunity of hearing th e l uci d statements of Lord Clarendon in the one house, and Lord Palmerston in the other. (" Hear, hear," and " No.") He wanted to know whether the country had the blessings of peace. The war bad cost 100 millions of mon e y, an d 50,000 lives, and he wished to know whe ther the peace which had been spoken of was one on which the country ought to be congratulated ? (Disap probation, and cries of "Hear, hear.') H e b e li eve d it was a peace which settled no principle. The main features remained to be settled yet by commissioners. (" Hear, hear," and "No, no.") He had heard members express great dissatisfaction at the war, the conduct of the war, and the termination of the war. No one re ioiced more than he on the restoration of peace ; but never had a war been undertaken in which England was so deeply humiliated. (" No, no !" and ."Hear, hear.") The review at Spithead the other day was an exhibition of great power, and showed that England ...dUit I . ; _ ti over• :ay 16 illiata Ir. S. WM. stop, ilad- land, ..... ----- rirTG 112, tro Z:2M
