A statement has recently been published, under the hand of Lltd PANWCTRE, showing the amounts of the original estimate and of the reduced esti mate, the sums already voted, and the sums re maining to be voted, on account of the Army Estimates for the year ending the 31st March, 1857. Without entering into the particular items, it is sufficient for our, present purpose to state that the original estimati., amounted in the whole to 34,998,504/., anc't the reduced estimate to 20,747,574/., shcrwrinF.r, a saving in this single de partment of 14.,250,9301. sterling. Fourteen millions and a quarter ! Much may be effected with this enormous amount. And it is desirable to consider in. what mode it may be applied most conducive to the welfare and prosperity of the entire community at large. Fourteen millions and a quarter 1 The sum is suggestive. It :recalls to our memories a very important item iii the weekly accounts of the Bank of England, It indicates the value of the notes which " th.f.) Old Lady" is permitted to issue against Governuneut Securities, and the payment whereof is a con dition precedent to the abrogation of the Bank Charter. If these fourteen millions were satisfied there would be comparatively but little difficulty in the final arrangement of the all important question. The providing means for paying off the debt has been the chief obstacle to a settlement. It has been a millstone about the neck of successive Financial Ministers, and the present Chancellor of the Exchequer has scarcely the energy to grapple with the diffi culty. But here are the means at once pro vided, The saving on a single item of ex penditure gives a quarter of a million more than is regruired to effect this great desideratum, and to free the British Government from the shame of being perpetually begging from a private cor poration for assistance but too frequently reluc tantly doled forth. Of this sum 11,150,000/. is in the nature of a permanent advance, bearing interest after the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, but of which in terest naore than half (1.80,0001.) is relinquished in consideration of the exclusive privileges en joyed by the Bank, that is to say of issniag notes payable on demand in London, or within 65 milQs thereof, and that its notes are made legal tenders, except at the Bank itself and its branches, and exemption from stamp duties upon its notes. These are the avowed equivalents for the virtual monopoly, but there are others of even greater consequence, amongst which may be included the prohibition of all notes for less than 51., and of the extension of the issues of any old Banks, or of any new Banks whatsoever, no matter how unquestionable their solvency or ample the secu rity offered to the public for the redemption of the notes on demand. It is needless to expatiate on the vast import ance to the nation of obtaining a perfect " free trade in money," and removing every restriction on banking operations either in town or country. It would be well worth not only the 180,0001. paid, but even ten ti me s th e amount ; a n d we believe that there is no person who has s t u di ed, and thoroughly understands, the questi on, Who would not consider its relinquishment a cheap price for the independence of the country, and even of the Bank itself—anl believe that they would be mutually benefitted by the change. We find other great Joint-Stock Banks realising larger profits and offering better dividends to their shareholders than the Leviathan, and we have little doubt that with unrestricted competition and better management, which would speedily follow the alteration , the proprietors of Bank Stock themselves would reap considerable benefit from the separation of Bank and State. But it is the in+erest of the community at large that we are chiefly bound to look to, and there cut be but little doubt how greatly that would be promoted by attracting new capital into banking operations. The establishment of a really National Bank, issuing notes of 1/., 21., and 31., secured oa all the property and industry of the country, and receivable in payment of taxes, would be of inestimable advantage to the trade and commerce of the coun try. It would liberate at least 30,000 3 0004 Of gold now circulating from hand to hand, and dis charging functions which would be far better per formed by small notes. This would be just as ad v antageous as if a gold mine were discovered in the centre of England, and three hundred tons of pure and unalloyed gold extracted without ex pense or delay. The wear and tear would be saved, and the interest would go to the benefit of, and realise a handsome profit for, the Exchequer —a profit which would authorise either the abo lition or reduction of some of our most vexatious and onerous imposts. We are by no means advocates for paying off old debts at a time when the taxpayers are ex hausted by the enormous burdens they have had to sustain. In any other cause, we should offer an earnest protest against a course which would re-open the painful feelings occasioned by the GLADSTONE abortion. It would unquestionably be far better to create a new 3 per Cent. Stock for the amount due to the Bank. This could not be called an additional debt. It would be merely a transfer from one party to many others, and would be beneficial, as creating a greater diffusion of wealth, and leaving to the Bank a much larger amount available for its legitimate operations. It would also be equivalent to the creation of so much new banking capital for the use of the industrious population of the country, and of the mercantile and manufacturing in terests. The Bank would, however, most probably invest a considerable portion of what it waa to receive, in the new loan on the same terms as the rest of the community. We have, therefore, alluded to the fourteen and a quarter millions saved on the army esti mates to prevent the Chancellor of the Exchequer from resorting to an excuse of which he might otherwise avail himself. If he shrinks from a loan to pay off the Bank, there is the money ready to his hand, and to what better use can it be applied than that above indicated ? which would liberate the Bank and the Exchequer from bonds mutually injurious. To one sentence in Mr. M. GIBSON'S Peace Society Speech on Tuesday night we can heartily subscribe. The hon. member observed, that " the whole debate appeared to him to be of no practical utility, because the treaty had been rati fied and could not be altered ;—and it appeared to him that it would be sufficient to thank her Majesty for having ordered it to be presented to Parliament, and for having allowed it to appear in the Gazette." The Three Nights' Debates of the two Houses of Parliament unquestionably resolved themselves into little more than an orderly chat of a considerable number of educated gentlemen over a document of which they could not modify a syllable. More or less interesting it might be to hear what some score of sensible persons would say on the subject, but it had been the subject of discussion with all sens ible persons all the kingdom over, perhaps of many debating clubs also, and all these persons had as much power in the business as her MAJESTY'S faithful Lords and Commons. All subjects of the Crown etood on a perfect level with regard to the Treaty concluded for them by the Crown ; for each and all, Lords and Commons included, were alike powerless. The real favour on the part of the Crown, therefore, was its con descending to tell us what we have no practical business with whatever. The Treaty was the work of the Crown, so far as England was con cerned, a work which it carried on iu concert with other Crowns, and in which the grand object ap peared to be to save all Crowns, even the guilty one, from humiliation, whether nations were humiliated or not. There seemed, indeed, a show of concern about Italian peoples ; but the das tardly innovation of a crusade against the Belgian Press showed that all French Liberalism was di rected to conservation of Crowns. Yet what a humiliation that the EMPEROR of the French should tremble for himself and his infant before the pen of a poor Belgian journalist. It is interesting to think what would have been the result had the Press and Parliament of Eng land been called on to share in the ratifi cation of the Treaty. If we admit that the pro gress of negotiations in the great cause of Crowns and peoples should be bidden from the latter, yet by what anomaly in a constitutional country is no power over the ratifications reserved to its Houses of Legislature. In America all treaties must be ratified by the Senate ; why not in England ? Why should not Lore CLARENDON have carried on his part, knowing that, if he trimmed or erred in any portion of it, it would be certain of rectifica tion before it could pass. It cannot be alleged that none of the Despots would treat with us on such acondition ; each one of them has treated with the United States, who insist on it, and found DO difficulty in doing so. It would probably have prevented the greater part of the mischievous omissions and concessions of the Treaty, and of the Protocols. There are few things complained of in either House of Parliament which Count ORLOFF himself would not rather have yielded than hazarded their becoming occasions of earnest battle in the British Parliament. Had the final terms of the Treaty depended upon its sanction how totally different would have been the character of the late debates. They have been actually little better than mere comments—in the sup posed case they would have had what Mr. GIBSON properly terms " practical utility ;" every speaker would have had au object before him ; and the despots of Europe would have also had some chance of knowing the mettle of Englishmen. It cannot be doubted that if the Treaty eould be supposed to have left Paris in its present form for the sanction of our Parliament, the whole Press of England and the whole House of Commons would have demanded the separation of the English nation from the list of the insolent threateners of the Belgian Press. It would have left Austria, Prussia, and France alone in that species of glory, and probably have required the insertion of a clause asserting England's determi nation to vindicate for Belgium what she claims for herself. But more especially, in matters concerning Russia, she would have required that the influence of the gun-boat flotilla and Crimean army should have been greater than the starva tion of the garrison of Kars. Even assuming the " Five Points" for the basis of treaty, Nico laieff, Bessarabia, and Circassia would have been managed very differently. The neutralisation of the Black Sea would not have been described by Mr. GLADSTo NE as a "series of pit-falls," and a little more effort would have been used to bring Russia in the s)„th of Europe nearer to wha t s he was in the time of. PETRA the Great. How to have said to Li If you do no t renounce the • per f ec tly easy, for insta nce, or any wher e Russia, ff, right to maintain a n arsenal at Nicolaieff, on any river flowing into the Black Sea, and do not admit Consuls to every town —why, there we are at Kinbourn and at Kertch, and there we shall remain ; we shall hold the keys of your river arsenals till the locks rust in your possession." Iu Bessarabia, again, with the fear not only of the Crown, but of the people before his eyes, Count ORLOFF would have included the cession of Chotym rather than hazarded the demand that the Dniester should be the boundary of Turkey, and would certainly not have dreamed of giving less than even Austria had asked. Above all, notwithstanding every excuse of the Government, no one dare have presented to an English Parlia ment a Treaty which allowed Russia to rebuild the Circassian forts, or which did not expressly stipu late for the independence of the Circassian terri tory. Lord DERBY would have remembered to some purpose the insolence of Russia in the affair of the Vixen, and absolute freedom of trade with the brave Mountaineers would have been secured by treaty. English electors would never have endured that the noble struggles which they had watched with such interest for years should be unrequited when such an opportunity offered. It would have been demanded that we should be at liberty to sell muskets and amrauni tion to freemen resisting the great subjugator, as well as to the CZAR and his serfs. Mr. GIBSON and Mr. GLADSTONE ought, in con sistency, to raise two issues in Parliament—one, that of secret diplomacy ; the other, that of the Belgian Press. The Peace Party have, we believe, long denounced secret diplomacy. It does not suit the plain common sense of Manchester men that the nation's servants should do its work free from the supervision and control of the nation. On this subject we have the pleasure of agreeing with them. Narrow as their views of foreign policy may be, even Lord JoaN himself would learn useful lessons from them as to the most advantageous mode of conducting actual business. Mr. GLADSTONE exhibited so fully the wantonness of the attack on the Belgian Press, showed by quotations from the laws of that coun try that they were far more stringent than our own, offering every facility for foreign potentates to prosecute any obnoxious journal, that we trust something will be done. The House of Commons, at least, ought to be called on to pass a resolution that, notwithstanding the Protocol to which Lord CLARENDON'S name is attached, this country would not submit to see Belgium coerced into the enactment of laws affecting the liberty of the Press. Or the same sentiment might take the form of an Address to her MAJESTY. Chemists teach us that for the due renovation of the ever-wasting human frame a well-ordered diet is essential ; that for the formation of bone, muscle, &c., food containing each of the various ele ments of our corporal substance must be provided, or serious mischief will ensue. It is on this prin ciple, in accordance with this established fact, provident breeders of poultry supply the prolific hen with cretaceous provender, and, we suppose, Lord Mayors of London Cockney citizens with veritable turtle-soup. Without the one, the breeder would assuredly have eggs without shells, to our discomfort and the deterioration of that popular luxury, egg-broth ; and, without the other, we would have what civic chemists will probably be good enough to tell us—citizens, we suppose, without a due modicum of fat—bare ribbed Cockneys, inclining to "lean and hungry war," and likely to be dissatisfied with a patched up and inglorious peace. What favours this supposition is the well-known tranquilising—we may say sedative—properties of turtle. Taken in civic fashion, that delightful medicament not only qualifies the patient for aldermanic honours —fits him to do his spiriting (that is not the word, let it however pass)—but indisposes him to self sacrifice and exertion, and shuts his ears against those calls to which less favoured patriots and philanthropists are but too apt to listen. So potent are those properties, that neither port nor sherry, hot and stimulating as they are, de prive it of its virtues ; and it is pleasingly compa tible with rivulets of claret and springs of champagne. On the other hand—for the matter is not unat tended with difficulties—we have to account for the entertainment last evening of her MAJESTY'S Ministers at the Mansion-house. No good citizen, it is well known, approves of taking his turtle vicariously, or is disposed to encourage its minute subdivision. Why were her MAJEST'YS Ministers asked to share it ? They are allowed by a generous nation the means to get turtle of their own ; and ao earthly reason, at least of which we are cognisant, exists to suppose they are such anchorites as to refuse to avail them selves of them. They are portly in person, sus pected some of them of the gout, and have just concluded an ignominious peace. What claims had they to be invited to a civic feast ? Nobody suspects them of over-sensitiveness to the calls of justice, or of over-promptness to discharge the exactions of high public honour. Their sto lidity is unquestioned and unquestionable. It is recognised at the Land's End ; it is not denied at the house of John o'Groat.l Poland presumes to mourn over it—Hungary to complain of it— Italy to sneer at it—the Colonies to grumble over it—Englishman to execrate it. They need no turtle, they are sedatived enough for Lord ELDON, and a good deal too much for the inde pendent press. Cretaceous provender would have been a boon, more especially to the Lord Chancellor and Sir G. GREY, whose Parliamentary eggs in capable of being cracked are successively squashed• Why then turtle—for turtle and a civic dinner are convertible terms ? It could not be appre hended—the supposition is monstrous—that Mini, stern were dissatisfied with themselves—that they never were, nor, by any possibility, can be. Was it that there was dissatisfaction with the peace, and the fireworks in the City, and the civic doctors deeming it politic to administer turtle, thought it but just that the Ministry, who occasioned the necessity, should furnish the excuse for turtle as well as assist at its administration ? We confess ourselves puzzled ; but even if, as some say, the turtle was meant as a bait for a baronetcy, we shall be delighted to find the precious viand was administered on principle. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING-, MAY 8, 1856, LATEST NEWS. TURIN, MAY 6. Count Cavoui, in answer to interpellations ad dressed to him in the Chamber of Deputies, declared that tie negotiations now pending, on the subject of tie affairs of Italy, imposed upon him a great reserve. He explaiael the moral and material advan tages arising oat of the treaty of peace. The Italian question has been brought before the Con gress, and Rance and England have frankly adopted the v ews of Piedmont. Austria wished to consider it as non avenue, but this was rejected. The Italian question is henceforth an European one. The Minisler declared, in conclusion, that the relations betveen Sardinia and Austria had not improved. The Piedmontese Government placed its whole reiance in the omnipotence of public opinion. BRUSSELS, WEDNESDAY. In the Clambers this day, the Foreign Minis ter, in answering the interpellation on the recent speech of Coint Walewski on the press of Belgium, replied that that speech had not been officially communicated. When that communication should take place, the answer would be ready, and would be communicated to all Governments, firmly maintaining the rights of a constitutional and independent country. It was further asked whether any power had asked for any modifica tion of the laws relating to the press in Belgium. The Minister said he would answer with one word—" Never.' The sitting broke up amidst immense cheering and enthusiasm. HAMBURG, WEDNESDAY. An official notice has been received of the im mediate arrival cf an American squadron at the mouth of the Elbe. It is expected to cruise in the waters of the Belt. The expiration of the treaty between Denmark and the United States, regulating the Sound dues, is said to be the mo tive for this expedition. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 28. The Journal de Constantinople, which had been sentenced to two months' suspension, has been pardoned. AMERICA. The troops at Adrianople having left that city, some disturbances connected with the hatti-sherif had taken place. The Governor of Smyrna has left for Magnesia. The Porte is busily occupied sending troops into Syria to repress the disturbances there. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The United States' mail steamer Arabia has ar rived with advices from New York to the 26th ult. She has brought $300,268 specie on freight. The Arago, from Southampton, arrived at New York, on the 23d ult. ; the Arabia, hence, at Bos ton on the 25th ult. ; the French steamer Alma, from Havre, arrived at New York on the 24th ult. In the Senate the $3,000,000 Armament Bill had been twice brought up, and its further considera tion was postponed. On the 24th ult. a resolution was adopted, call ing on the Secretary of State for information rela tive to the extent to which the transportation of labourers is now being carried on from the conti nent of Asia or any Asiatic islands to America, with other particulars relative to the traffic. On the following day a resolution was agreed to, instructing the committee on judiciary matters to inquire into the expediency of repealing the act of June 3, amending the naturalisation laws of 1813. In the House of Representatives nothing of im portance had transpired. It was generally believed in Washington that there would be no alteration of tariff during the present session of Congress. A letter from Washington, dated April 21, states that Mr. Dallas had written from England to a friend in Pennsylvania, saying that he does not think it advisable to allow the use of his name as a candidate for the Presidency now that State has expressed in an almost unanimous voice its prefer ence for Mr. Buchanan. The Circassian Deputies, who attract great at tention, are daily visiting the great dignitaries of State. Mr. Buchanan had arrived at Philadelphia, where be was welcomed by the firing of a salute, and greeted with enthusiastic cheers from an im mense crowd that had assembled to receive him. At Washington preparations were making for a grand demonstration in his favour. We learn from Toronto that the Hon. Mr. Ross has resigned his seat in the Canadian Cabinet, on the ground that the Ministry had lost the confi dence of the Liberals. Steamers commenced running between Quebec and Montreal. We have later accounts from the West Indies. At Bermuda, on the 15th of April, the crews of her Majesty's ships Argts and Medea were reported free from sickness. French and Sardinian troops are daily passing the Dardanelles, en route for Marseilles and Genoa. Two regiments of English cavalry have em• barked from Scutari on their way home. The 12th Lancers are preparing to return to India, and will take the horses of a regiment of Hussars with them besides their own. At Trinidad the weather continued very dry, and sugar-making was proceeding very favourable; but in many cases the canes were said not to be yield ing well. Governor Elliot was recovering from the serious attack of bilious fever under which he had been suffering, and, to promote convalescence, was stayinc , at an island in the Gulf. Savannah advices of the 18th ult. contain no news of importance. Her Majesty's ship Powerful was the only vessel of war in that port. Advices from San Jinn of the 16th ult. confirm the defeat of Colonel Schlessinger. He bad been tried by court-martial on charges of treason and cowardice. Another battle was reported'to have taken place at Arcopaca between a small force of Walker's and 200 Costa Ricans, in which the latter were said to be defeated, with a loss of 30 killed. It was also reported that Walker had 700 men marching to meet the Costa Ricans. A letter from Tampico states that 400 troops would leave that city on the 11th of April for Matamoras. A British brig of war left Tampico on the 10th for Havanna. The men of the Hussars are to come home. It is rumoured that Saleh Puha and his steward are acquitted of the murder of the Greek girl at Varna, and a groom alone found guilty and condemned to death. TURKEY IN ASIA. ERZEROIIM, APRIL 8. The new civil governor, Vedgi Pacha, arrived here on the 4th inst. He has the reputation of being a good governor ; but it is understood that he knows how to extort money—as is generally the case with his colleagues. Major Peel and Mr. Evans are at Olti, to acquaint themselves with the position. They are expected back in a week. Two English surveyors and two corporals are at Devi Boynu, preparing a plan of the strong position. Accounts from Curaqoa to the 4th of April re port that a large portion of the Dutch West India fleet had arrived from Venezuela. Mr. Bingham, English Minister residing at Caraccas, was about to attempt a settlement of the Ayes Islands diffi culty, existing between the Dutch and Venezue lan Governments. The commercial advices from New York report that an active demand for money prevailed, which was readily met, with dealers at 7 to 9 per cent. The stock-market firm during the week, and closed buoyant, State stock and bonds being in good re quest for permanent investment. Sterling exchange closed firm at 94 to 92 ; bills on Paris were quoted at sf. 171 c. to sf. 161 c. The demand for cotton continued active, but prices remained without change. The advices from the south were considered favourable ; in flour a decline of 37 cents. had been established, in consequence of the depressing nature of the European advices ; wheat had also declined 5c., with a limited demand. Prices for provisions were steady. The market for Scotch pig iron was unsettled, and lower prices had been accepted. English sheet-iron was firmer. Freights continued dull, and to Great Britain lower rates had been accepted in some instances ; the offerings in all directions were light, and the supply of ton nage increasing. At New Orleans on the 24th ult. the Arabia's news was received. Middling cotton was quoted at 11. i cents, with a firm market. Freights t© Liverpool dull, at 9-32 d. for cot ton. THE FRENCH ATTACK ON THE BELGIAN PRESS. The Pays contains a violent article against the Belgian press, and, availing itself of Count Walew ski's artful summing of what he said on the subject, in answer to his own carefully-prepared speech in the Congress, dishonestly represents that the Con gress voted a resolution that measures should be taken to put down the liberty (or, as the Pays phrases it, the " excesses of liberty") of the Press in Belgium. The plausible pretext put forward for foreign interference with the Belgian Press, is that certain journals in Belgium preach " murder, pillage, and robbery." This, everybody knows, is but a pretext, The real grievance is that facts, which the French Government suppresses by the strong arm of authority at home, are published in the French language across the frontier. Follow ing up the spirit of Count Walewski's oration, the Pays, after taking credit for the great mode ration and " patience" of the French Government, says, " But when the outrage assumes every day more and more monstrous proportions, the dignity of a government which is by its origin the emana tion and incarnation of the sovereignty of the peo ple, the dignity of the nation impersonated in the chief of the state, might render a more energetic attitude legitimate." After this salient sally, the Pays, as if "scared at the sound itself had made," hastens to protest against too large an interpreta tion being given to its words, and vows lustily that it only speaks its own personal sentiments. This common form of reserve is too transparent to de. ceive anybody. Every one knows that a French Government journal in these days has no per sonal sentiment whatever beyond the desire to act faithfully up to the instructions of the hour. All this hectoring about independence is simply ridiculous. The attack upon the Belgian press is an essay to put down a free press allover the world. Colonel Giles keeps close in his house, doing nothing. Whether it be from pride or some other cause, he has not returned the visits of any of the respectable residents who have waited on him, and has intercourse with very few persons here. This exclusiveness makes us feel keenly the loss we have sustained in General Williams. An Aide-de-Camp of the Seraskier, who arrived here three days ago from Constantinople, informs us that the armistice is indefinitively prolonged, and that he considers peace to be certain. Feisullah Pacha, the Yeely of Sivas, at one time attache of the Ottoman embassy in London, has been barbarously murdered in his palace, by four of his Georgian slaves. In consequence of ill usage experienced at the hands of their master, they vowed vengeance, and, having put him to death one night m his sleep, went straight to his chiaga (secretary), confessed the deed, and surren dered themselves prisoners. The murdered pacha had his peculiarities, but he was not a bad man at bottom. Our most recent advices from Persia are of the month of March. They state that a portion of the Persian cavalry had occupied Herat, and that the Shah was marching troops and forwarding the material of war in that direction, with a view to invade Candahar. The country between Teheran and Herat is suffering this year from dearth, and it is feared the Persian army will undergo great privations before it reaches its destination. Mr. Murray, with the whole of the mission, left Tabriz on the 11th of March, for Bagdad, via Mosul. An impression prevails that an Anglo- Indian squadron will soon appear at Bushir.

Although the noble duke's health has of late been satis factory, his grace is unable, from the inclemency of the weather, to take his usual carriage airings. The It; v. Mr. and Lady Adeliza Norman are staying with the noble duke. Thi Duke and Duchess of Hamil on, with the youth ful Marquis of Douglas and family, have left Nice hr Par is , in which capital the noble duke and duchess pur- Tose leaking a brief sojourn on their way to London for the seaso n .' Lord George The Du c h ess (Dow.) of Norfolk, accompanied by to town , from and Lady Adeliza Manners, has returned ona a short visit t o the Duke of Rutland, at Belvoir Castle, RUSSIA►. A. letter from St. Petersburg of the 28th ult. states that the project is mooted of converting into permanent fortifications the defensive batteries and field works erected last year on the north side of the capital. The Government has sent officers to Prussia to study the constitution and adminis tration of the army of its neighbour, and to report particularly on the special arms of the service. The Russian Government has ordered the irregular troops in the Crimea to be disbanded. Major Bartolomei has just been appointed attache to the Russian embassy at Constantinople. An official document emanating from the Rus sian Minister of Commerce gives some details re lative to the celebrated fair of Num-Novogorod held in 1855. The war, having shut up a great number of places, caused business to flow towards the market of Nijni-Novogorod, where the total of the transactions amounted to 63,784,T95 roubles. A quantity of raw cotton, brought from Buckhara and from Persia, figured amongst the merchandise offered for sale, and appears likely to replace Ame rican cotton in the manufactories of the Levant and of new Russia. The value of the tea sold amounted to 5,659,500 roubles ; it was compose of two sorts, that in leaves brought from Kiaehta, Sempalathisk, and Tchougontchi,. and that made up into flat cakes. The merchandise brought from Buckhara and Khiva to the fair of 1855 amounted to 934,500 roubles ; from Persia, Georgia, and Armenia to 1,953,015 roubles. The merchants of Khiva brought 67,000 ponds (the pond is about 33 2.31b5.) o f raw co tton, and the Persian s ones nearly 18,500 ponds. The prices obtained for every kind of merchandise were higher than at the preceding fair. THE UNITED STATES' MINISTER. —Mr. Dallas, in a letter just received, says that the subject of the differ. ences between England and the United States will be fully discussed in Parliament. He is led to believe that the di.eussion will not be devoid of acrimony towards this country, but is prepared to bear it like a philo sopher. Ile mentions with particularity numerous nets of marked courtesy extended to him, including those of the members of the British Cabinet, and regards these manifestations as expressive of a pacific disposition to wards this country.—Washington Correspondent of the New York Herald.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Last evening the perform ances at the above theatre, consisting of " Norma, ' and the last act of " Il Trovatore," were for the benefit of Signor Tamberlik, who made his last appearance in Eng land (previous to his departure for Rio Janeiro) on the present occasion. The celebrated tenor, who was in ex cellent voice, and performed throughout the evening with even more than his usual energy and care, met with constant applause, and of that marked and cordial king which betokened friendly regard for the man no less than admiration for the artist. Signor Tamberlik was rapturously encored in the Trovacore's song, with hare , accompaniment, which, as everybody knows, h e most delightfully, and at the termination of the perform ances received the valedictory ovation to which hi 3 dis tinguished merits so fairly entitled him. THE BANDS IN THE PARKS. At a meeting of inhabitants of the borough of Mary lebone, held'at the Colosseum Hotel, on Monday last, the following resolution was passed : Moved by Mr. BRINSMEAD, seconded by Mr. D'IF FANCER, and carried with only one disentient :—" That this meeting tenders its best thanks to the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P., for the means of recrea tion which be has provided for the inhabitants of the metropolis, by the performance of music by military bands in the parks on the Sunday ; that, as intimation has been given that every exertion will be used to put down this source of enjoyment, it is possible that attempts may be made to create confusion and disorder. The in habitants are therefore requested to join together for the purpose of counteracting any unseemly proceedings that may be promoted f or th object of depriving the inhabi tants of this metropolis of that same enjoyment which is sanctioned by the Sovereign at Windsor, and which is provided in almost all the provincial towns in which regimental bands are stationed. - Sir Benjamin Hall has returned the following an swer :-- "Office of Works, &c., May 7. " Sir,—l am directed by Sir B. Hall to acknowledge the receipt or your letter of yesterday's date, and to ex press his thanks for the resolution which it conveyed to him. Sir B. Hall has no doubt that the admirable order which has pervaded all classes on the occasions when the band has played in Kensington-gardens wi!l be equally striking in the Regent's and Victoria Parks, and that the public will thus continue to show ho g thoroughly they appreciate the recreation afforded them. The fact of 147,352 persons having assembled in Kensington Gardens and the Regent's-park last Sunday is a convinc ing proof that the inhabitants of the metropolis approve the course which he had pursued. " It seems to be implied by your resolution that at tempts will be made to create a disturbance when the band may play. In the event of such circumstances occurring, Sir B. Hall is quite sure that the well-dis posed portion of the community will exert themselves for the purpose of repressing any such unseemly proceed iugs.—l have, &c., " Mr. H. Dixon." " A. D. BERRINGTON. A meeting was held a few days since in the Tower Hamlets, when a similar vote of thanks to Sir B. Hall and Lieut.-Col. Dickson for having ordered a band to play in Victoria-park was carried unanimously. KENSINGTON-GARDENS AND REGENT'S PARK.

Although this popular resort has been open to the public since Easter, yet the amusements have necessarily been on a very limited scale, as the lessee always reserves his grand coup for the Whitsun holidays, when, in addi• tion to the minor attractions, a grand vocal and ir►stru mental concert will be given, under the conductorship of 'Mons. Bosisio, who, during the recess, has devoted his talent to the production of several new musical pieces, and who will be supported by a very powerful band. A new ballet will be presented, from the pen of R. K. Philp, Esq., possessing very high claims to public ap probation on account of its comic incident, its great scenic effect, and choreographic display. Its title is " The Island of Roses ; or, War, Peace, and Plenty," and is to be worked out by performers of known merit. In the circus, the Ducrow family will appear, whose names are a sufficient guarantee for their excellence. In the grounds will be found many important alterations, improvements, and additions, which will be recognised as dictated by good judgment, and calculated to increase the enjoyment of the visitor. The panoramic represen tation of Berne, by Jones, and the re-embellishment of the Triumphal Arch of last year, give proof of this. The former possesses considerable merit, both for its truthful portrayal and its illusive effects. A substantial Swiss building,- to be used as refreshment room, and occupying a portion of the base of the foreground, is so admirably worked up by the artist, as, at the first glance, com pletely to deceive the eye. The arch is now intended as an illustration of the advantages of peace rather than of the triumphs to be secured by war. We made allu sion some time since to the commencement of a large pavilion in the adjoining Ashburnham grounds, intended for special fetes connected with charitable and educa tional associations. It is now finished, and will for the present be occupied as an American flower garden of great extent and beauty. The measurement of this build ing is 350 by 100 feet ; it is capable of holding 25,000 persons ; and has 160 beautifully decorated window! ; and, after the removal of the flowers, will be made avail able for special galas. THE CRYSTAL PALACE-GRAND PEACE FETE. Her Majesty will be accompanied to-morrow by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Cambridge, and other members of the Royal family, and will be attended by a numerous suite, who will be in military uniform. M. De Persigny, the French Ambassador, and Baron Brunnow, Russian Plenipotentiary at the late Con gress, with many other distinguished members of the corps diplomatique, will be present in the Ambassadors' Gallery. The Crimean soldiers who will form her Majesty's guard of honour have been selected from the various regiments who have returned from the war, and w ill form a body of not less than 500 strong. Among them are some of the most distinguished heroes of Inkerman and Balaklava. _ _ On Saturday the usual rule will be departed from, and the admission will be is. ; notwithstanding which, he preparations made for her Majesty will remain, the fountains will play, and the band of the Royal Artillery will be in attendance. CANTERBURY MUSIC HALL—This highly attractive concert and refreshment room continues to attract nume rous and respectable audiences, not only from the inha bitants of the vicinity, but from all parts of the city. Mr. Morton, the enterprising proprietor, spares no trouble or expense to obtain the highest amount of talent available ; aed that his liberality is fully appreciated is testified by the crowded appearance of the Hall, one of the handsomest and beat-arranged in the metro polis, every evening. Amongst the performers may be mentioned the inimitable comic singer Sam Cowell, Herr Jongmans, Mr. S. Jones, and many other celebri ties. The concerts are under the effective management of Mr. Caulfield ; and Mr. Harrowby very ably presides at the pianoforte. The refreshments are of a very supe rior quality, so that the best provision is made for the gratification of every sense. We earnestly recommend those who have not already visited this agreeable place of amusement to repair their negligence at the first opportunity, and assure them that they will not regret adopting our suggestion. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—This establishment has been lately completely renovated in the decorat ye department, preparatory to the coming holidays, which shows the praiseworthy and good judgment of the Messrs. Tussaud in their endeavours to gratify their numerous visitors. Many objects of interest are in preparation, and will shortly be ready for public inspec tion ; a mong them, we understand, is a p or t ra it mo d e l of Marshal Pelissier. The musical department will a'so receive additions, both in the performers and new music, adapted for the occasion; in fact, the best means will be adapted to render this popular establishment as per fect as possible in every respect. CASE OF ARCHDEACON DENieoN.--In consequence of the recent decision in the Court of Queen's B nob, a oeremptory mandamus has issued compelling the Arch bishop of Canterbury to proceed against Archdeacon Denison, whose case is to be heard in the Court of Arches in the 27th inst. Considering what the archbishop had already done, it was impossible that the decision could be otherwise. But the friends of the Church cannot but regret that a question of so much solerunity as that in volved in this case should be brought into court under -uch circumstances. The archbishop, it is well known, is averse to the proceedings; but he has only him self to thank for the inconvenience arising out of them. Had be followed the judicious example of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and refused to reopen 3 ques tion already settled, the controversy would ere this have been at an end ; but having unwisely allowed himself to be entrapped by party man ceavre into iessouinpgentehrietporaeclit ininary commission, he is very prverly m upon its report. There is nothing now to prevent the case from being carried through all the tedious and ex pensive process from the Court of Arches to the Judicial Committee of Privy C En( n then the d-cision , 4,111 be worth nothing in the matter (;f doctrine. I a ill Duly have gratified the Rd,. John Ditcher, ere!arrassed the archbishop, and perhaps ruined the archdeacon, un less he is well supported by the Churchmen who usually think with him on theological subjects, THE MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY (This Day.) THE CONTINUED ILLNESS OF COLONEL TULLOCH. The Board re-assembled at the usual hour; The Judge-Advocate-General asked Gen. Airey what course he intended to pursue with regard to his cant 3 if he intended to call witnesses I Gen. Airey asked if he was to understand that tlas, Commissioners would not attend the inquiry The Judge-Advocate-General said that Dr. Balfour,' Col. Tulluch's medical adviser, was present, and waa prepared to state to the Board that, certainly, for the next ten days, Col. Tulloch would not be able to It 3 his room, and that a long period must elapse after tha t b€l.ire be would be able to appear before the Board. H 4 asked Dr. Balfour if he had beard from Sir J. WNeil It Dr. Balfour said that before answering that questiol L he wished to make a statement to the Board. The Judge-Advocate-General said he believed Dr. Bal four wished to refer to a published report of a statement t made by him (the Judge-Advocate-General) on Tuesday ; that the suggestion to write to Sir J. M`Neil emanatoi t from Dr. Balfour, whe❑ it was he (the Judge-Advocat e• • General) who suggested it. Dr. Balfour said that he wrote the same night to S 1 John M'Neil informing him of Col. Tulloch's illness, but he had received no answer. After some further discussion, Dr. Balfour said he had the authority of Sir Jame! 1 Clarke and Dr. Martin to state, that after Col. Tulloch could leave his bed it would be at least two or three ► months before he could attend to any business. The President to Gen. Airey—Under these circurar • stances do you object to proceed at present ? Gen. Airey—Yes ; certainly. But before he gave b reasons for adopting that course he wished to know if Li , might expect the attendance of the Commissioners ? Sir G. Berkeley—That's very doubtful. General Airey said—l deeply regret to learn that the Board cannot for the present have the advantage of pur suing the inquiry in the presence of either of the Com missioners. Her Majesty's Warrant recounts that the* conduct of some of the officers on the general staff of her army had been animadverted upon in the report by Sir John M‘Neil and Cal. Tulloch. I am one of the► officers on the general staff thus referred to in her M s— jety's Warrant. The Judge-Advocate-General, addre sing me on Tuesday last, said it was the opinion of tb Board that, in the absence of either or both of the Coin , . missioners, I ought not to impugn the credit of the re-- port. In that view I entirely concurred. It was to• impugn the credit of the report, so far as it animadverted: upon me, that I appeared before the Board, and since' the general officers whom I have the honour to address; are roost justly of opinion that I ought not to coos. tinue the performance of this painful duty in the , absence of the Commissioners, I should have rejoiced if the nature of Colonel Tulloch's illness had been such as to justify the hope that an adjournment. for a moderate time ►night give the Board the advantage. of his presence in this hall. I have stated that it visol fur the very purpose of impugning the credit of the re port, so far as it tended to animadvert upon me, that 1 appeared before the Board ; but the general officers whom I address will bear me witness, and the 'hurt nand writer's notes will confirm my assertion, that in' performing this duty I have never for an instant dr parted from that tone of courtesy which I deem it ap— propriate to maintain in the conduct of this discussion 7. and I can say now that, if I could find words which will do simple justice to myself as an officer, without giving' the slightest pain or vexation to the friends of Sir J.- ,11`Neil and Col. Tullocb, those words, and those culls. would I use. But can I find such words ? I d e clare• the subject of description is such that every sentence , coming to my lips would be checked by the thought that. neither of the Commissioners is present to hear me, anti' combat my conclusion. I desired a full and fair in vestigation in the presence of Colonel Tulloch his colleague, and I was most anxious also to ex amine Colonel Tulloch, under the firm impression that: there were matters on which ho could throw more light' than any other man. It is not only of an important wit ness that Col. Tulloch's illness deprives me, for this de plorable event deprives me also, I will not say of an or" portunity, but of one who would endeavour to sustain. the allegations contained in the report ; and I do mall: feel that as his presence is not to be replaced by that a Sir J. 111'Neil, I cannot bring myself to go on withouti explanation and evidence which might by possibility' dive pain to an absent man. Therefore, deferring re— • spectfully to the view of the Board, ,which calla upont ine either to continue my explaaations or to leave the, case as it stands as far as Col. Tulloch is concerned, I have come to the conclusion that the latter of those' ~ wo courses is the one which, if not the more wise: and the more prudent, is at all events the ones best consorting with my feelings. All who• have duly attended to the purposes of this discussion on Monday and Tuesday last will see that: there is much indeed which I should wish to say if '- could persuade myself to complete any explanation by gumming up the evidence already given before the Board ; but if there is much that I should like to a dd to ray address, there is, happily, nothing in it which. I wish to withdraw or qualify; and now, disarmed as I au], by the illness and the absence of Colonel Tullock all I will venture to ask of the Board is this, that is considering their decision they will kindly revert to the evidence which has been given in the progress of this inquiry. The Board, however, will permit me to con tinue my part in this discussion upon what was Con nected with the organisation of the arnay,which does not tend to bring me into any kind of antagonism with Col. Tu!loch. The President—a) you intend to proceed, General Airey, or not ? General Airey—No. Judge-Advocate•General—Will you state more dis• tiactly your reasons for not proceeding ? General Airey—l wish the Board to adjourn tempo* rarity till one of the Commissioners can attend. General Peel—Cannot you show the inaccuracies of which you complain in the report without the attend ance of Col. Tulloch ? General Airey—lt is impossible for me to do so with• out impigning the credit of the report. General Peel, to Mr. Commissary-General Filder Are you prepared to go on with your case I Mr. Filder —No, I am in the same predicament as General Airey. I appear to impugn the correctness of the report. General Peel, to General Airey—lf Colonel Tulloch had never appeared, would you have raised the same ob• jection you have now I General Airey —lf Colonel Tulloch had never aban• doned his original position as a Commissioner, and come here and examined witnesses, and animadverted on say statements, I could have gone on without him. Mr. Commissary-General Filder said that he should be able, to-morrow, to state the course he would pursue _ i❑ his case. The Board were about to retire, to consider what should be done in this emergency, when General Airey said he left his case in their hands, and did not decline to go on if they wished him. The Board then retired, and after a lengthened ab sence returned into Court, when The Judge-Advocate-General said that the Board regretted the necessity of adjournment, but as it was ■ocessary, they adjourned the Court till Wednesday next. Some discussion took place relative to Sir J. M'Neil being summoned as a witness, but the Judge-Advocate- General said, as he was a civilian, the Board could not compel his attendance. He should, however, be in formed of General Airey's request. The Court then adjourned at one o'clock, till Wednes day next. COLONEL TULLOCFL—The following is a copy of the certificate of Sir James Clark and Mr. Martin an to Colonel Tulloch's state of health " Eaton-square, May 6. "ire certify that we were called to Col. Tulloch yes terday afternoon, and have visited him again this morn ing. We find him labouring under such a degree of bodily and mental exhaustion, arising from long-con tinued mental exertion and anxiety, as to render him totally unfit to attend to any business. We are further of opinicn that complete bodily and mental repose is necessary for the recovery of his health. " JAMES CLARK, M.D. " J. R. MARTIN." The gallant colonel has been thoroughly exhausted—an exhaustion as complete as that of the overworked men and horses in the Crimea-- in the performance of a task too arduous for any one man's strength. CHELTENHAM ELECTION.—The nomination took place yeterdry. Frederick Munro, Esq., proposed Captain Francis William Fitzhardinge Berkeley as a fit and pro per personage to represent the borough of Cheltenham in Parliament. Mr. Downing seconded the nomination. Captain Francis W. F. Berkeley then addressed the e ector4. The hon. gentleman went through his political f tith, stating that he should vote for the ballot and other liberal measures. Sir Alexander Ramsay proposed Ed. G. Hallowell, Esq. The nomination was seconded by Mr. George Parnage. A show of hands was then taken, which the returcvg (1:: r, J. P.
