Hurst and Blackett, successors to Mr. Col burn. Among the subjects elucidated in these volumes will be found :—The Personal History of the Prince of Wales, with Notices of his principal Friends, public and private—The Career of the Princess of Wales at Home and Abroad—rhe Last Great Eur opean Coali ion against Napoleon—The Visit of the Sovereigns to England— The C.induct of the Princess Charlotte—Sherida n at Carlton House—The Private Negotiations of the Mar quis Wellesley and Mr. Canning—The Secret Policy of the Cabinet—Russian Intrigues— -Prc ceedings ofViscuunt Castlereach and the Duke of Wellington, &c. . JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN.—BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY," &C.—This remarkable story will doubtless become the most popular novel of the season. 'John Halifax,'" says the Spectator, "the author has made a considerable advance upon her previous works. The great source of interest is an im proved and masterly execution, employed upon more substantial matter. Every character is consistently conceived and very truthfully delineated ; the incidents, the scenes, the still life, are painted with a power that sustains the attention of the reader." "The story," say- ;s the Athentrum, "is interesting. The attachment between John Halifax and his wife is beautifully painted, as are the pictures of their domestic life, and the grow ing up of the children. The strife between the two brothers when they discover they are each attached to the same object is vigorously drawn, and the conclusion of the book is beautiful and touching." ADVKRTiggMENT.

The 22d Protocol gives an instance of suclean extempore interchange of feelings and opinions. Greece," Italy, above all Naples, receive their share of admonition and rebuke, and are lectured according to tlieir several demerits, Bat per haps the severest lesson was reserved for a State which for the. lash five and twenty years has given very little trouble to European diplomacy, but has made a most gratifying advance in all the arts of peacc i , and internal improvement. - When 'people speak of the-future condition of the Danubian Princi palities they call them by way of auspicious anticipation the " Belgium 'of Eastern Europe."' Possessed of a moderate an -I tempered freedom, lying in a po4ition which makes her use ful to every Power and forhtidable to none, Belgium has claims on our respect and forbearance which the possession of nuttier ous armies and large territories does not always extort. But Belgium enjoys freedom of the press, and therefore Belgium is the object of fierce derninciation and menace. Its newspapers' contain doctrines distasteful fo'reign Governments,, especi ally.to.Franoe, and the writings which appear under the s,bel ter of her free constltutiOn; arq treated by Count Walewski I as little. less than s cosos, .which nothing but the magnanimity or his'' Government pi - events her, from pushing to the uttermost.. „This the never ending cenfliet betweenClov4mments' which absorb the State into themselves and Governments which,aalthough at the head,aro `not the whole of their country. We had always supposed tat,' as= betvieen nations, t& Government of - one eauntry could know nothing and recognise nothing beyond the Go vernment of another, and we hear now for the first time of a AietinetteitikUlootao.a.istrdlill 4st*sien fievritak. and his people. With the Government of i;elgium count Walewski says he ha s no groun d o f complaint whatever. It has striven to mitigate the excesses of a press which the law does not permit it to control. But to Belgium herself Count Walewski employs very different language. "We should regret," he says, " to. be obliged to make Belgium com prehend • the strict necessity for' •'modifying a legis lation which does not allow its Government to fulfil the first of international duties—that 'of not assailing or allowing to be assailed the internal tranquillity of neighbour ing States." This is indeed new and startling language. What is it, in fact, but saying that no Government can be tolerated by his own except one which leaves to its subjects no freedom of action, and thus, by the only possible means, precludes them from compromising the internal tranquillity of neighbour ing States We have happily got rid of the Holy but Count Walewski seems disposed to revive the absolutist Propaganda of .1815, and to insist- that the neighbours of France shall adopt au absolute Government, as the only gua rantee they can give that they will not interfere, by writ , ing, by speech, or by action, with the existing. institu tions of France. If th e grea t POwers will only join Count Walewski in his , denunciations, they will, he thinks, so strengthen the hands of the Belgian Government, that it will be able to exercise the required influence over the press. In other words, the French Minister solicits the mem bers of the Conference to enter into a crusade against a free press and liberal institutions, and thus to give in Belgium the victory to the friends of reaction and priestly domination. The war is over, but Count Walewski invites us to a new cru sade, to hunt down and root out whatever has been left on the Continent of individual liberty and public freedom, and to avail ourselves of the reunion of monarchs to curtail the rights and privileges of peoples. As we happen to live in a land which has not yet been sub jected to this corrective discipline, where the nation still counts for something, and the Government, though strong, is neither omniscient nor übiquitous ; where man is neither trained to submit to degrading compliances nor to measure his speech and writings by the pattern prescribed to him from above, we venture respectfully to dissent from the doctrine bid down by Count Walewski as to the duty of sovereigns to coerce the Belgian nation, in order that by snob coercion they may silence the Belgian press. There is but little' liberty anywhere ; let us, at any rate, respect that remnant of a stormy past—that hope of a happier future ! If the Belgian press exceed the bounds of legitimate criticism the tribunals of the country are as oeen to the Emp eror o f th e F renc h as to the mean es t subject; and, if that justice cannot from any cause be obtained, it is far better that some inconvenience should be felt than that the sword should be drawn against a feeble State, unable to resist, and yet ashamed to submit to the .dictation of its powerful neighbour. Moreover, when Count Walewski protests so strongly against the anti-Inape rial tone of the Belgian press he ought to remember that a portion of it, with equal impartiality, adopted the cause of the Emperor of Russia, and that there would not have been the least difficultY in setting up another newspaper in Brus sels to support the cause of the dynasty of Napoleon. Two centuries ago the immortal author of the Provincial Letters, in one of the noblest passages ever penned by the hand of man, pointed out the absolute incompatibility between violence and truth. " Argument," h e says, " may b e overcome by stronger argument, and force by greater force, but truth • and force have no relation—nothing in common, nothing 'by which the one can act upon the other. They dwell apart, and will continue to do so till the end of time." When will the continent of Europe pro ducestatesmen wise enough to comprehend these maxims, wise enough to know and feel that reason must be combated with reason, and force with force ; that the empire of truth over the human mind must depend upon its feelings and con victions, which the sword can neither make nor unmake ? A government founded on public opinion needsno such means to support it ; a government founded on violence should seek as soon as possible to emancipate itself from the odious neces sity of supporting one 'violent act by another.. We have ter minated one crusade against a Power full of ambition and violence ; let us not commence another against men whose offence is that they are too free for the repose of their neigh bours, and too much devoted to. law to submit to its arbitrary curtailment.—Times. THE TREATY OF PEACE. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) Disgraceful and dangerous as are the terms of peace con tained in the body of the treaty, yet we postpone for the pre sent the continuation of our analysis of them, for many of them sink into insignificance in comparison of the subject which we treated yesterday—that of the surrender of the right of search. m b e a e r n i t i p m r o s toe code,o l e b d y for m a i t n h t e s s n t g ti w m h e i e i h n her she his u an d d th h a a t s g a l toi E . be came the mistress of the seas, has been coolly signed away by Lord Clarendon, in direct violation of the laws and consti tution of Great Britain. ti We resume the su bj ec t b y g i v i ng some further corrobora ous of the law of the case, and some additional historical details. We yesterday recalled the two " armed neutralities" of 1780 and 1800, when Russia vainly entered into a • conspiracy with otbe • •• • mai itime nations to deprive England of this most ancient right of seizure of enemies' property on beardof neu tral vessels. We shall now • more particularly speak as to the conduct of the neutral states shortly after those occasions. In 1788 France p ro p ose d to the youngA • American Republic a treaty, in accordance with the doct • lanes of the armed neu trality, which the United States signed. But in 1794 they signed a treaty with E ng l and in which they stipulated for the old law, that of th e r i g h t of search and• property on board of neu t ra l s. They were, sei therefore, zureofenemies' in the predicament of having signed in one seise with one power, and in another sense with another. When war broke out between England and France, the Americans, being neutrals, allowed the British to seize French property in their vessels, but refused to allow France to seize British property. Franco was indignant, and protested, not against the in. terpretation of the treaties permitting England and forbid ding France to search neutral vessels, but on the ground that she had a treaty with the United States which ua her the rights of the most favou re d nat i on, and that tEngland was thus more favoured than herself. The following are per tions of the American no :o of 1798, addressed to France on that occasion : Before the treaty with Great Britain, the treaty with France existed. It follows, then, that the rights of Great Britain, being neither diminished nor increased by compact, rema in precisely in their natural st a t e, which is tos ene mies' goods. .. . The complaints of th e F had seize rench re ference, amongst other things, to the abandonment by the A mer icans of their natural rights in no t maintaining the pre tended principle of the modern law of na ti ons, that free s ma ke free goods, and that timber and n ava l stores are ships contraband of war. The necessity, however, for the strong and express stipulations of the armed neutrality itself, byall these ma the various powers that joined it, showed that xims were not in themselves law, but merely the stipulations of compact; that by the real law, belligerents had a right to seize the property of enemies as against friends." After the first armed neutrality had been put down b England, Russia, herself becoming a belligerent, enforced a y e right 4. search against Denmark. The following is o, claration : "Denmark, with its accustomed weokuess and prefer. ring even an ideal gain to the considerations of sound policy, has refused to consent to our just demands; therefore, all ships are to be stopped and searched, even thos e under convoy." This law, however, dates back front the very earliest period. In the " Consolato del Mare," compiled in the 12th century, in chapter 273, the maxim is laid down: " If the captured vessel is neutral property and the cargo the property of enemies, the captor may compel the mer chant vessel to carry the enemy's cargo to a place of safety, where the prize may be secure from danger of recapture." It appears in our earliest treaties. We find it in the t rea t y of 1561, between England and Sweden, in Cromwell's time, and it is repeated in that of 1670, between England and Den mark In both it is stipulated that— " If the goods of an enemy are found in such'ship of the confederate, that part only which belongs to the enemy shall be made prize." As to the law, we once more quote from Sir William Scott (case of the Maria) : " The right of search is clear in practice, which is uniform and universal on the subject. The many European treaties which refer to this subject refer to it as pro-existing, and merely regulate the exercise of it. All writers upon the law of nations unanimously acknowledge it, without the excep- tion of Hubner himself, the great champion of neutral privi leges. In short, no man in the least c on versant in subjects of this' kind has ever, that I kno w, breathed a d oubt of it." As to the policy, we repeat the words of Lord Whitworth, quoted yesterday : " If this principle (the cession of the right of search) is once admitted, protection is extended over all the enemy's commerce. All that is required is to find some one neutral state, however insignificant, sufficiently friendly to our ene mies to be willing to lend her flag to cover their commerce." War would necessarily be rendered interminable, and fleets as useless for the future as for the two last years. This parting with our maritime power, however, shocking as it is, sinks into insignificance in comparison of the man ner in which it has been effected, and of the precedent thereby established. It is not merely that we have parted with a right on which our power depended—that we may now break up the Spit head fleet for firewood, and take down Nelson from his column —it is that an ambassador has dared of his own autho rity, and without the consent of Queen, Lords, and Commons, to sig n away the integral laws of England at the dictation of an enemy. , HOUSE OF LORDS. TALBOT'S MOMS. The further lwaring of this ease was resumed to-day, anti the,followiugyitgesses were ealled..orchehalf of the opponents of the tilt :- Tho noble and learned lords in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lora St. Leonards. Thomas Quirk, h shoemaker, .was the first witness galled He said—l am a t cquainted with 'Maria Mooney, who resided with Mrs. Talbot. After`Mrs. Talbot had left Mount Talbot I had a eanyksation witltMaria Mooney about Mrs. Talbot, *la she spoke most hi,t,thlY of her. By Lord Si;; beollaxds —Maria Mooney told me that there was no truth lithe reports,about Mullan. •Exiunination.caubinuedr--Sh e offered to be sworn upon a one pound note that there was no truth in them. ' Cross-exanfined-Ll'saw the Man. Carrick once in reference to this matter, and signed a paper on that occasion. Mr. John Paget said—l am a member of the bar. Mrs. Talbot's sister is my brother's wife. Mrs. Talbot is about 37 years of age. My acquaintance with the family coat:- mane:3d in 1813, and has continued uninterruptedly np to tha present time. I have,had frequent opportunities of geeing Mrs. Talbot. On the.2d August, 1852, I first heard of the Charges against Mrs. Talbot. I was not at that time aware, ,where Mrs. Talbot was. I took steps to discover her retreat, and eventuallyi found that she was residing in the neigh bourhood of Windsor_ with a lady ,same Fiveman or. Ten cant. I first saw Mrs. Talb o t i n November sin that, year, at the White hart at Wiridior, ice company with a gentleman named Long,' soliciter at Windsor. - My biother and his wife were present, and Mrs. Talbot returned to my house,- where she remained : , for about two days; After that she went to my fatheu , s • house, in 'Leicestershire, with my brother and his wife. In consequence of these matte's I went to Dublin, amid ascertained that the writ of inquiry in Mullan's case had been executed. I understood that Mr. Worthington, a proctor there, was icstructed to act on behalf of ItiTs. Talbot. I was instr4r4tal in employing a 114:leskyssouotekthoN.,palibibo4C-Aulity:44l4r . _ all the matters connected with thil unfortunate affair. Mrs Talbot remained at my father's house till August in last year. Mr. M g Jauslaad discharged the legal expenses in the Consis toHal Court, and my brother and myself will defray the ex penses here. It appeared to me that Mrs. Talbot's mind from 1852 became entirely shattered and disordered. Previous to her marriage I think she was a person below the ordinary range of intellect, although an accomplished person. She was of her six sisters least endowed with intellectual powers. The last time I saw Mrs. Talbot was in November last, at the railway station at Leicester. Up to that time, I think, her intellect was impaired. I wrote a pamphlet, and I addressed a copy of the book to each of the members of the Legislature. When I sent the book I had no idea that these proceedings would have been instituted. By Lord St. Leonard/I —I have seen Mr. and Mrs. Talbot. constantly together in July, 1851, when they were in London, j They appeared to live on amicable terms. Cross -examined—Mrs. Talbot, during her residence with my father, associated with the family. After the decision of the delegates I addressed a letter to Mr. Justice Torrens, which was published, as well as my brother's letter to the Lord •Lieutenant of Ireland. Letters were also sent to the members of . both houses of the Legislature. Copies •f my correspondtitce with. Mrs. Tennant, which I believed to be confidential, were forwarded to Mr. Adair, the petitioner's attorney, and I was examined as to it in Dublin. . Mrs. Tertius Paget examined—l am the sister of Mrs. Talbot, who was married on the 2d January, 1845, and was married some time after my sister, in 1850. After my sister's wedding trip she settled at Summer-hill. I ob served during my residence with my sister upon the shock ing set ef women servants by whom she was surrounded. Mullen always seemed to conduct himself in a most re spectful and proper manner towards her. I first heard of these painful circumstances in connection with my sister in May, 1852. I first saw her after she left Mount Tal of in the ensuing November, at the White Hart, at Windsor. My sister's altered manner was most peculiar. At first she was calm, then she became excited. She asked for her child, whom she supposed was in heaven. She was in the habit of searching throughout my father's house for her child. On one occasion she said to me, "If my husband' would but have listened to me I could have explained all." The Rev. Robert Gage was the person through whom we ob tained a clue to my sister's residence at Windsor. Wo had some difficulty in obtaining an interview with her. I ascer tained that my sister was most cruelly treated at Mrs. True man's. She was locked up, and not allowed to go out. Mrs. Trucman is a foreigner. I saw my sister, about two months ago, at a friend's house in Leicestershire, Her mind was then weaker than it was six months ago. My sister, during her residence with her husband, was neglected very much, and was not allowed to have any money. Mr. Talbot at this time kept three hunters. My sister never complained, but I remarked that she was most niggardly supplied with clothes. My sister's conduct as a wife was most exemplary. Cross-examined—My sister is at present at Ryde. She was staying at Hampton-court with Lady Hertford. Mr. Thomas Tertius Paget was then called. He said--I am a banker at Leicester, and husband of the last witness. I have known Mrs. Talbot both before and after her marriage. As far as I have observed Mrs. Talbot's conduct was most correct. She app ared to be devoted to her husband. The female servants about Mrs. Talbot were of the lowest kind, I was quite struck by their appearance and demeanour. (Mr. Paget corroborated the statements of the last two witnesses as to the weak condition of Mrs. Talbot's mind.) Cross-examined —Since the decision in the Consistorial Court, Mr. m'Causland has refused to allow Mrs. Talbot to reside with his younger daughters. Mrs. John Paget examined—l am the wife of Mr. John Paget. I saw Mrs. Talbot, whom I knew as a girl, in Nov,, 1852. She was in a very wild s t a t e . H er manner was most strange. I slept in the room with her when she was in Leices tershire. This witness was not cross-examined. Mr. Paget, senior—l am a magistrate of the county of Leicester. Mrs. Talbot, during her residence at my house, acted like the most perfect lady. Mr. Sergeant Wraugham said this closed the evidence os his side. Mr. Denman, in the absence of Mr. Mereweather, declined at present to call any witnesses. Mr. Sergeant Byles said that, with the permission of their lordships, he would call a few witnesses, to contradict what some of those on behalf of the opponents to the bill had stated. The statement which had been made by Hester Keogh (now Leonard) id the court below was produced and read, with the view of showing that the evidence which she gate yesterday (Tuesday) was incorrect ; and Mr. Adair, the peti tioner's solicitor, was recalled, and deposed to certain discre pancies in the testimony given by her on the two occasions. Mr. Adair, iu his cross-examination, said he was not able to say whether or not Hester Keogh's signature was written by her or by himself. If Hester Keogh had sworn that she had not signed the document, he should say that be had signed it himself. Lord St. Leonards, having examined the document, said there was no doubt that the signature was in the handwriting of Mr. Adair. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham then addressed their lordships in opposition to the bill. He said the question for their decision was not whether this unfortunate lady had been treated as if she had been guilty of adultery, but whether she was actu ally guilty, and also whether the petitioner was entitled to the relief which he sought at their hands by the infidelity of the lady towards her husband. The most remarkable por tion of this most remarkable case was, that the greater per-• tion of the evidence which had been brought forward in Dublin had not been produced in this house, and an equally great pro portion, which had never before been heard or, had been adduced at their lordships' bar. He was entirely taken by surprise by the evidence which had been given, as the case had assumed a new aspect. Nothing had beau(heard of a circumstance which, it was alleged, took place on the 19th May, 1852, and which formed part of the charge against this unfortunate lady. The mon Finnerty and Halloran were the two solitary witnesses upon whose evidence the verdict before the sheriff was returned, and neither of them had appeared at the bar of their lordships' house. Ho felt placed in a most awkward position, in consequence of the case which he had come there to meet having vanished altogether; and a large body of evidence previously wholly unknown to bum having been' substituted. Although the evidence of the Rev. Mr. Ser geant and Mr. Purcell were unknown to the other side Previous to the adjournment of the house, there was evi dence which they had introduced, aid of which they must have been aware. He alluded to that of Carr and Deegan, who spoke to the truly incredible story which they alleged to have witnessed in the stable at Mount Talbot. These witnesses were thrown in as a make-weight by the other side, who began to distrust their case. Those diffi culties which had arisen from the sudden intervention of new evidence had been carried out to the utmost point by the still fresher testimony which had been given before their lordships since their reassembling, to account for the diffi culties ho bad to encounter. Their lordships were asked to believe that a lady married to a man, apparently of suitable station, had at once forgotten all the duties instilled into her during her childhood, by prostituting herself to her own ' groom in the most reckless, the most disgraceful manner; that that lady was guilty of the grossest conduct in every room in the house, in tho most lascivious and wanton manner, and that with a man who was proved to have been suffering from a loathsome disease throughout the whole time of the all ged improper intercourse. According to all the evidence, this lady, who it was stated was forgetful of the duties of a wife, forgetful of the duties of a woman, was a most affection ate mother. Was it to be believed that this poor woman would have placed her child, on whom she doted, in a cot con tiguous to the bed on which she was locked in the embraces of adulterous intercourse with that man, Mullan ? This case appeared to him full of improbabilities. They were told, on one hand, that Mrs. Talbot abandoned herself to the em braces of Mullan, while at the same time she conducted her self with the utmost cunning towards those of her intimate friends, who were constantly in the most familiar intercourse with her. Her friendsh td spoken of her purity of mind ; and he would ask their lordships was it credible that a woman like Mrs. Talbot would have prostituted herself not alone in the rooms in her own house, but the dirtiest of dirty stables with her own groom ! Th e i r lordships were asked to believe that Mrs. Talbot bad elevated her groom to the enjoyment of her favours. Was it not most improbable ? When amongst equals the display of affection was easily discovered, was it not far more easy to have observed the criminal conduct which was said to have existed between Mrs. Talbot and her man-ser vant by those who were her intimate friends? There were no less than nine witnesses who had spoken to the familiarity which had existed between Mrs. Talbot and Mullan, and two had sworn to direct acts of adultery. The fair fame of that lady depended upon the decision of their lordships, who would be governed by the surrounding circumstances of the case,, The learned sergeant had not concluded when the house adjourned till Friday morning at ten o'clock. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. -April 30. (Before Mr. Creasy, in the Second Court.) William Wheeler, the landlord of the Queen's Arms Public house in the Caledonian-road, surrendered to take his trial on an indictment, in which he was charged with indecently assaulting Fanny Cracknell, and also with committing a com mon assault upon her. Mr. Ribt•a appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Ballantine for the defendant. The prosecut;ix a very modest -looking girl, 17 years of age, stated that she now lived with her father at No, 9, park_ place, Clapham. She had been barmaid at the Queen's Arms public-house, in the Caledonian-road, of which the defendant was the landlord. On the night of the 16th of March she Went to bed between 12 and 1 o'clock, and when ehe went rip stairs the defendant . was servin g , in the bar. She had nothen in bed long-perhaps an hour or three-qn irters, When she was awoke, by some one leaping over her. It was the defendant. He was dresse'd, with the exception of his coat.. Hp dig not say anything to her at 'first, but after she had' heen awake a few moments he asked her if she would allOw Mtn` tbisleep with her?: She replied, ' 4 ' certainly not." lie then ,endeavoured to. pull dawn the bed-clothing, ;and cortimitted'aii act of indecent hsiault upon her, which' she describ,gl.- . - Silo tried to keep him away as well as she could. He endeavoured to place his hands in the bed, and did so once: lie then 'went to the deer, and returned. 'when he Said Mrs. Wheeleil was belqw stairs and; it was all; right, or words to that effect ; He tallied about coming into her room( on the following bitht ; and to get rid of him Uteri she consented that he slionld do so; She was not a b ou t t o l eave, but she thought she would promise her . consent for the following night, havtme, Ken he had so insulted her, made up her mind to toll her mistress and leave on the following morning. Whey she gave•this promise be went altay. About I o,cloek next day she left the house and went home, to her father. `'Mr. Itibton said he had no other witness. 1. 31r,;;Ballaritiue, in his address fOr the defence, said juries were too apt,- perhaps, to be led away by.a story of thi4ind, told 6i h pretty, modest-looking girl ; but these were cases Which juries should divest of All sentiment, and. investigate them to see if there might not be some reason to think, that perseas whb were • c h arge d w i t h t hi s sort of offence had ;not acted entirely without encouragement. He , ,commentfd on• the eVidencirof the prosecutrix; and asked if the jury couti sa - v; thatthe defendant's conduct had been entirely unpro• yoked ?

The deaths of 1,048 persons, namely, 533 males and 515 females, were registered in London in the week that ended on Saturday. The number is almost the same as that of the preceding week. In the corresponding we ki of the ten years, 1846-55, the average number was 1,029. But the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population ; and, if the average now stated is raised proportionally, it be comes 1,132. The present state of the public health ap pears, from a comparison of results, to be not unfavourable. A reduced rate of mortality from diseases of the zymotic class aff,rds another satisfactory indication ; for the deaths arising from these were last week 194, while the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 231. Typhus is the most fatal in this class at the present time, that disease with com mon fever numbering 58 cases. Hooping-cough was fatal to 34 children, croup to 14, scarlatina to 21, measles to 26; also small-pox to 9 persons, diarrhoea to 12. The - mortality from pulmonary diseases is very near the usual amount at this season, the deaths from them last week having been 196, while the corrected average is 192. Of the 196 deaths, 169 were caused by bronchitis and pneumonia in equal proportions, the former chiefly amongst the old, the latter chiefly amongst the young. Phthisis (or consumption) carried off 139 persons, the average being 159. Last week the births of 915 boys and 916 girls, in all 1,861 children, were registered in London. In the ten eorres poniing weeks of the years 1816.55 the average number was 1,541. The mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.i75 in. Ott Sunday and Monday the mean reading was above 30 in., but from the former of these days it continued to fall throughout the week. The highest reading was 30.17 in., on Sunday. The mean t emperature of the week was 48.5 deg., which is 0.6 deg. - above the average of the same week in 38 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average till Fri day, when it rose 7.5 deg. above it, and it continued nearly as high on the following day. The highest reading of the thermometer in the week occurred on Friday, and was 73 deg ; the highest in the sun on that day was 93 5 deg. The lowest in the shade in the week was 30'6 deg., on Monday the reading was nearly as low on Wednesday ; the range in the week was 42'4 deg. The mean dew-point temperature was 38'3 deg., and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 9.9 deg. The tem erature of the water of the Thames rose to 54'2 deg. on Saturday ; the mean of the week was 60.9 deg. The wind blew genefally from the south-east and east till Saturday, when it was .in the south-west. There was -no rain till the end of the week, and 0'27 inches fell, sporting Intelligence.

BRIGHT, M.P.—We learn, with regret, that the hopes lately held out of Mr. Bright's speedy restoration to health were not well foneded, and that it is now certain a lengthened period of repose and abstinence from business of any kind will be necessary before the hon. member will be able to re sume his Parliamentary duties. fiIDEATH or MR. R. M. Fox, M.P.—Mr; Richard Maxwell Fox, M.P. for the county of Longford, died at St. Leonard's-on-the-Sea on Saturday, the 26th ult., in his 41st year. He was educated at Winchester and University College, Oxford, and married in 1835 Susa n Amelia, daughter of the late Admiral Sir L. Halsted, G.C.B. He was a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for Longford, which he had represented in the Liberal in terest in the present and late Parliaments, having been first elected in 1847. He was a Liberal of a somewhat advanced school, but never took a prominent part in Parliament. Ci - t - mp, iSebastopol, April 15. Sunday broke with a cloudless sky--a day completely suited for the grand military spectacle which was to take place; Few, however; hail been informed of the event, and English bat-ponies were more scarce than usual at such scenes. By 10 o'clock in the morning the initiated feet; began to l eave our positiOn for the northern heights by tin co routes, viz., over the Inkernaan-bridge and causeway, Over Traktir-bridae, and over the Sardinian-bridge. The first and third were flee to horsemen and,",foot-passengers d i'ring the entire day, but the,Trak.tir was closed, by order of the French,. between 10. and '1 o'clock, to all who did not accompany the allie,-1 commanders and their staff. Tao road I took was by the newly-repaired woodeu Inker man-bridge, which leads to the carmenay,' at the end of which the Ruesians to this day keep an advtipce picket in side a small earthen 'ambuscade. ' - Following the track which leads to khe north-east, I ascended through steep ' wooded glens ere and ,there swept, by batteries almostconcealed. iii'flae brush wood, in roar Of% the Spur Battery on the Conical-hill and the most advanced. Russian telegraph to Mackenzie's Farm. OU arriving at this. point General Luders, the Russian commander-in-ohicf, his aide-de-camp Major Wohruian, and his chief. of the etaff (actiag), Gen., Nepoquvitchisky, a Pole, followed by n numerous staff, several Russian carriages, ono captaining- the wife of a asp ;taiit cf lancirs (Tinian), and also the wife of .a lieutenaat, of;the staff, were in the act of leaving the Tinktir-britigf to, meet their gueets and escort thorn back to t 4,, head-quarters: of the 11th division. The gttard attending them on the occasion consisted of nine Cossacks of the oriniea,diesiad in scarlet, holding long red lances ; 28 gendarmes dressed iu bright blue, riding on grey horses; and. 20 Cossacks of t l he Dan, with long spears. mouated on their rough shaggy posies. On this Is ntege arriving within view of the bridge a salute was fired by our allies. This salute was repeated by the Russians from their grand battery—Nos. 44, 45, 46, and 47—the moment the cavalcade appeared in sight returning. An ither Lail hour brought them to the head- [ quarters of the 11th Division, wheio they were receiied • b'Y LiaatenatiOesineral_reFialey, his three aides-de-ea rn p —Lieutenant Yarottky,. Prince Cothouben, and Captain Tcbernaief, Colonel on the Staff Sabler, a young engineer of the Gaard, several other staff olicers. and a guard of honour —three deep, drawn up in line-120 strong, fur nished by the 21st Regiment, being the first of the 11th .Division. On arriving at this point the band played a national ai , the guarepresentaal arms and cheered. Mat shal Pelissier, who was riding a superb black charger, with long bang tail, the trappings being of gold ant the holsters and saddlecloth of leopard :kin, headed the processi on , taking off hi s coc k e d h at on the occasion. Behind him was General Luders, who likewise rode on a black charger, bearing an Astrachan black saddlecloth, having the Em peror's cipher on each corner. This noted soldier is by birth a German. With his helmet on he appeers about 40, but when I was nearer to him afterwards, in the mar quee, he struck me as being about 50 years of age. His hair is short and thin, and of a greyish tinge. His figur e is stout, alth oug h h e i s a b ove the middle height. On his breast he wore six medals or crosses, and five stars ; and here I may mention that the Russians appear to be deco rated for everything. Most of the soldiers wear from five to eight , r lers ; some I saw with sixteen ; and they all were rewarded with a Silistria cross and a Sebastopol cir cular medal, the ribard being the same for both. After General Luders there fellow:CI in line Sir William Oka, riugton, who was dressed, as all his staff were, in a plain blue frock coat, with cocked hat and sword, General Della Marmora, Sir Hugh Rose, General Windham, &c. Then cause the different aides-de-camp, among whom I noticed Captain Ponsenhy, Hall, and Earle, the whole winding up with several officers, English French and Sardinian, who were not on duty, and therefore ought not to have been there—an escort of the 11th Hussars, about 15 in number, a like n-unber of the Chasseurs d'Afrique, and the Russian escort I have before mentioned. "By this time the Russian troops had formed up in close columns of companies, each containing 75 men, three deep, with the exception of the last two, which were only two deep. Each of the ten battalions had its standard, its baud or bugles, its twa small banners, and consisted of 10 companies or 700 men. On the right was a complete field battery of eight guns, with eight ammunition waggons. The horses were in capital condition, and the whole of the fittings appeared to be in good order. As the comman ders-in-chief rode down the line, followed by a crowd of horsemen, each band and bugles struck rip, the soldiers presenting arms and cheering. After this General Luders, with his guests, took up his position in front of the mud huts quite close to the ruins of Mackenzie's Farm, so as to allow space for the 7,000 infantry to wheel and march past in open column, with sloped muskets, at a quick pace. Each battalion consisted of live companies —four of them being three deep or 150 strong, the sth company (Chas seurs) being only two deep or 100 strong. These Chasseurs do not wear any different uniform, bet are armed with a rifle which carries 1,200 yards. Heading the division rode its general, Veselitsky, who has only one arm, and staff; then followed the general commanding the let brigade, Major-General Grotenplo, and his staff. This brigade consisted of the 21st (Selenginski), and 22d (Yakulski) regiments of the line ; and as the four battalions, each 700 rtrong, marched past to their bands, which were brigaded together, one could not help being struck with the soldier like appearance of the men, the manner in which they swung their arms, and the air of defiance with which they strutted and pointed their feet to the ground. The 2d (Chasseurs) brigade, which had an acting brigadier, was foliated of six battalions, each 700 strong, not including officers aid seneonts, and consisted of the 21st (Okhotsk), and 22d (Kamtschatka) Light Infantry regin:.• its. The office: commanding the second battalion had a broken arm. As this brigade passed, one could not help being struck with the large proportion of cavalry officers, who commanded not only battalions, but likewise companies. On inquiry, it transpired that they were officers who had volunteered to serve at Sebastopol with infantry. How different from our army. A Russian staff officer, who spoke English besides five other languages, having among other tutors had an English one —Mr. Percy Beresforti—told me that the officers suffered terrinly at the sieve, far more in proportion than the men or our officers at Alma ; and certainly the best proof of the truth of his statement was the scarcity of regimental offisers at this review of the 11th Division, and what there were being very young. As the battery of artill er y w hi c h belonged to th e Ilth brigade of the 4th artillery division went past, ono could not help thinking hoar it is that we can never bring into the field more than six and nine pounders, and yet at Alma and Eupatoria the Russians nut only had 32-pounders, but succeeded in taking them away in their retre a t ; f or , b e it remem b ered, at the former action we only captured two guns, and we never made use of any artillery but six-pounders. At this moment, out of the whole of our 86 gnus in the Crimea there aro only 8 that come under the head of field artillery—viz., four 18- pounders and four 32-pounder howitzers. On this occasion the guns were drawn by four horses and'the two-wheel ammunition carts by three ponies abreast. After the ar tillery came the 9 red Cossacks, 28 gendarmes, double ran k, 20 Cossacks of tb.3 Don, and four troops—each 30 strong— of Cossacks from the Oural. The gendarmes are only armed with a sword, but all the Cossacks have spears. One pecu liarity in the review connected with the officers was, that none saluted except the mounted commanding officers of battalions, and that all the senior company officers marched in the centre instead of on the right, as with us. I have omitted to mention that GeneralOtchakoff, chief of the 4th corps d'arinee, accompanied General Luders. ' The moment the Cossacks had gone by the four comman ders-in-chief rode to the marquee close by to take luncheon, and as by this time (2.48), the review having lasted fifty minutes, they had been nearly four hours on dusty ground I have little doubt that a glass of champagne was most refreshing. Witnessing this curious scene, I noticed two Russian ladies in a carriage, one English lady, Mrs. B:ine, on horseback, Sir Colin Campbell, Lord William Paulet, Generals Garrett, Barnard, and Cameron, several staff, infantry, and artillery officers, and rather a large number of Highlanders. The moment the commander-in. chief had entered the marquee a crowd of Russian soldiers and.mounted officers gathered round to listen to the three Russian bands, each about 60 strong, which played ad mirably, and to look on at some dances got up by four Russian soldiers—a clarinet, tambourine, and pair of cymbals being the orchestra. One of these four, a Cos sack, stood beautifully on his head, the others dancing round him. This feat was repeated twice after luncheon before Sir W. Codrington. Inside the marquee, about 48 feet long by 15, which was white tipped with green, there were three tables—two rectangular ones, and between them in the centre, a small horseshoe table. At the centre of this table sat General Luders, having on his left Marshal Pelissier, and on his right Gen. Della Marmora. Next to Marshal Pelissier sat Gen. Codrington. At the two other tables there sat Gen. Windham, Sir Hugh Rose, and all the staff. Sir Colin Campbell was asked in, but as he had to come to the review uninvited he declined, until at a later time he was again sent for, when he made his ap pearance, apparently much to the delight cf Gen. Ludt rs. The marquee was lined with crimson ; in the centre, round the pole, were bright-barrelled muskets, which the Rus sians always have. At one end was a shield, inatle out of swords, with the spread eagle in the centre ; and at the other end a similar shield, made out of bayonets. The tables were made of deal planks, covered with white table cloths- There were no chairs or benches, only camp-stools. As the different toasts were drunk the bawls outside played suitable airs ; but it always struck me that the soldiers cheered at the wron g " time, although their guides were four fellows placed close to tile mouth of the_tera. All the eatables cud di inl.:ables came from B rkshi-Sergi, . 1 9 , where General Luders lives, and also the sa ars _t a. who wore black coats and white waistcoats,, Alexander's Pelissier, in proposing tho Emperor 11 health, alluded to the bravo armies that were r e e n rv am \‘ le e s ro b: l i i t l are now friends. Two different kinds of b t the table—the black ration bread and the white bread, like cake. After the company had risen cigars were handed round, and several officers who had been partaking of a capital luncheon just outside, at the end of the marqu ee, fi om the remains, together with others, were invited in. It was close upon 5 o'clock before the allied commanders again mounted their horses, when Gen.Luders an d Mar shal Pelissier, who wa s smoking, led, followed by G enera l Della Marmora, Sir Hugh Ross, Gen. Windham, &c. - Sir Wm. Codrington and his aides-de-camp keeping in rear among the escort, which was th e same returning as coming.

There is little to notice, and commercial matters re• mai ued substantially the same. Intelligence from Demerara is to the Bth instant. The Court of Policy had been much engaged in the discussion of the Bill to Amend the Militia Ordinance, but, owing to its objectionable clauses, it was with drawn, in order that an entirely new bill might be brought in. A deputation from the town-council of George Town, accompanied by an American gentleman named Allen, the representative of a water company in New York, had been exploring for the purpose of discovering a source for supplying the city with fresh water. The explorers were of opinion that an inexhaustible supply of pure fresh water might be obtained from the upper basins of the Laluni. Business among the merchants was dull, and freights were low and produce scarce. The exports for the fortnight are—Sugar, 957 hhds., 49 tierces, 269 barrels, and 243 bags ; rum, 820 puncheons, 119 Wide., and 47 barrels ; m o la sses , 260 puncheons ; cotton, 135 bales. Bxrbadoes intelligence reports that several plantation fires had taken place during the fortnight throughout the island.
