LO:k:1)0N, THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1858 Everything really seems to be of a piece in regard to the mismanagement of the British army. Thirty thousand men are sent forth at the commence ment of hostilities with colours flying, and drums beating, and trumpets sounding, and a rabble of good honest stay-at-homes shoutingat their heels, as regiment after regiment march through the principal streets of London on their way to the Central railway terminus from which they are to fly on the wings of steam to the port' of South ampton. Then the authorities are entirely under the impression that not a single shot is going to be fired in anger. Now when the conflict has been actually gone through, when peace has come at the end of two years' carnage, and when the small number of survivors are coming home to us at last to repose after the toils and anguish of tbo fearful ordeal they have had to undergo in Camp and Hospital—the tables are suddenly turned with a vengeance ! Thirty thousand go forth in glory, when no glory has yet been won, when it is quite problematical whether any glory can be won And three. thousand—having won the glory, or having at least helped to win the glory—three thousand- gallant fellows bearing upon their breasts, emblazoned in silver, the heroic names of "Alma," and " Inkermans," and "Sebasto pol" —are brought back, absolutely as if they were in disgrace ! It actually appears to be decided that the Guards having left London in 1854 by the Waterloo Station are to re-enter it in 1856 by the station at Vauxhall. Going forth on the very vague chance T —(as " the pavers that thou were" blindly imagined)--going forth on the very v quo chance of possibly, by some rare accident, being afforded the opportunity of "reaping laurels," as "cut ting the throats of our fellow-men" is poe tically termed—the Guards are shouted at all along the Strand and across Waterloo bridge : as though they were a crowd of Heroes, instead of (as they then actually were) as a crowd of mere military adventurers ! Coming back with medals, and clasps, and ribbons, and soars, and empty sleeves, and wooden legs, and all the other ghastly or glittering badges of Honour—coming back bronzed and wounded , from the war, they are now-with a perfectly monstrous inconsistency—expected, as it were, to sneak into the capital of their native land by a side-entrance,• as though they were afraid of being - honted, and pelte , I with addles] eggi.and - brickbk's.

Cannot the absurdity be prevented in time, the huge and obvious absurdity of bringing them back again into London covertly by the side entrance of that station at Vauxhall'. The law for Lord PALMERSTON'S opponents seems to be the same as the law of the road— If they go to the left they are sure to go right, If they go to the right they go wrong. When they take up such left-handed subjects as repealing the Maynooth Endowment Act, or sic tarianising the National system of Education in Ireland, they can get majorities, but when they are so unquestionably= in the right as they were on Mr. WHITESIDE'S and Mr. MOORE'S motions they are defeated two to one. Probably on no two subjects that have been earnestly debated in this House of Commons has the sense of the country 'been mon against Mi nisters than on thequestious.of Kars and Mr. CRAMPTON. It should have been easy id both casestd havesecUred a triumph. Admitting to the full, and beinggladio admit the• cordial support which General WILLIAMS received from Lord CLARENDON i his letters putting fresh life and en thusiasm into the unaided garrison, it was yet beyond dispute that , the Cabinet allowed Kars' to . fall, and converted the Most splendid military • feat of English Generalship which the War pro duced into a defeati-sand; worse than that, into a .eonvenient loophole for the Russianisers at the , Paris . Conference.' If South Sebastopol, is to be henceforth an invincible fort ; if Niealaieft is to -send forth a " MosOito fleet" of gun-boats, and mortar-boats, and floking-batteries, more formid able than the fleet which rots in the harboUr of SebaStopOl ; if the cir - aasSian forts are to be re built,. and, the East coast of- the Black Sea to be again closed to European trade,-all this we owe to the starvation by the Allies of the garrison of KatS, a circumstance whidh Mild not have oc curred had Lard PALMERSTON willed otherwise. Nevertheless, just as a series of small defeats had shaken his poSition in Parliament, he gains an almost unparalleled Parliamentary - victory out of this military disgrace. Russia triumphs at Kars, and Lord PALMERSTON triumphs at Westminster, by a majority of 127. Two months run on, his Lordship who had triumphed were ho should not, is again beaten several times where he should not have been ; but again an egregious blunder comes to his rescue. The Conservatives see their opportunity and put Mr. BAILLIE forward ; but whether warned by experience that a great public wrong must, for Lord PALMERSTON, became a great Parliamentary right, or being disunited in their prospective plans, they withdrew Mr. BAILLIE'S motion. Mr. LI. G. MOOR; being an independent Member, determines to try the value of that hust ings boast in the House. Lord PALMRILSTON will give him no battle day, so he forces Ministers to a battle ; but all to give Lard. PALMERSTON another victory—indeed two—for on the motion for the adjournment on the first night's debate Ile cleverly took a division, which showed a larg o majority on that question for` Ministers, then made a merit of necessity, and con ceded an adjournment to the Member • for Manchester, to gain a final triumph the next night of 194 ? Never assuredly was a diplomatic business brought to a much more humbling result than the CLARENDON • MARCY dispute. Where MARCY was in the wrong he was allowed to wriggle himself into the right, and where Lord CLARENDON was in the right, he or Mr. CRAMPTON managed to get into the wrong ; and, as a finale, we receive back our dis honoured Ministers and Consuls, while the Ame rican Minister remains here with all the honours, minus that of taking his attaches with their black stocks in the presence of the QUEEN. When an unpopular peace was in progress, and after it was concluded, all the talk was that Lord PALMERSTON was soap to be cashiered, and— somebody—to step insomebody who had not been turned out in 1852 ; perhaps the Noble Lord who on that occasion, to please Prince ALBERT and. Austria, had turned him out. But here his Lordship is, rubbing on and joking with his DERBY Parliament making them, like Sir ROBERT PEEL, if they will piss wrong resolutions, put them right again in a few days slipping every now and then and seeming to go back, but recovering lost around again by a tre mendous leap, and looking about him more confidently than ever. And where are his oppo nents ? On what questioncan they raise a cry ? Religious gentlemen as they all are, they have tried the " Protestant" dodge, but the Protestants do not rely on them ; and unless something un foreseen . occurs, why may not his Lordship get through another session, and even dissolve Par liament at his own time ? Indeei it must be confessed that'the political temper of the day is just the one for Lord PALMERSTON. There is no active earnest party of any kind. The Voluntaries seem to be the only one which is advocating any great new princiile, but though they have made themselves a working party in the House, a Premier can afford to c , joie them with Church-Rates Amendments while it serves his purpose, and then to give 'them Sir CORNEWALL LEwis's cold shoulder without fedt of consequences. Church Reform may be Coquetted with pleasantly while in the hands of the Marquis of BLANDFORD. Law- Reform will nevt be a Cabinet-ou s ti ng q uestion, although one Al the most important of all practical objects. Finance— w3ll—when in, the nation thinks all, Chancellors ate very much alike. Administrative Reform has lost its terrors since the War; and, as to Parlia mentary Reform, the country is asleep, and when it is the House of Commons is sure not to disturb its slumbers. Apathy,' the breaking up of great parties, and the absence of great questions —we may add 12,000,0001. per annum of gold `from Australia—all seem favourable to the reign 1 1 i tli Et ' l i' d f „I 'ls y .Premier, the continuance of little !.eats WN: 5 0 , 0- andgreat victories, a n d o f p e ddling :f 4.

Sir ROLL:iII PEEL. It is something tut poses a purkilm7 L :.., .. , , 4",;16 ing power a command over a certain quantity of the necessaries and comforts of life. It is essentially a measure and'represen tative of value in other things—and there is no greater necessity that it should itself possess in trinsic value than that the yard of the draper, or the weights of the cornfactor should be made of the precious _metals. It was resorted to in order to avoid the barbarmis system of barter, and it has been continued for a long series of ages, without any effort at improvement. During the protracted war, in which England was engaged during the close of the last and beginning of the . present century it was round incapable of dis , charging its appointed functions. Our fathers were therefore compelled to resort to a more ex pansive agent.. By an inconvertible paper cur rency they were' enabled to develop° the natural resources of the country, and to maintain a strug gle unparalleled in the history of the world: The. fathers of Sir ROSE .T PEEL and Lard OVERSTONE acvired enormous fortunes by means of "'wkth less rags," without which their sons would not have had the opportunity of expressing their ; views in the Senate, and lacking down the ladder to which they owed their elevation. , But after the • 1/.' inconvertible notes had so completely fufilled their duty they were deliberately cast aside. The bullionist thedry was propounded. It was said that unless papey money or'" promises to pay" were convertible on,. demand, there could be no uniforpoity of -ralue— , that the nation required a stable currency, .in which its business could be , alviays -transacted with safety . and security: With this view the doctoring commenced, and how has it succeeded ? Hai() there not been far greater fluctuations in prices, and in the value of all descriptions of pro- perty,, greater derangement of trade, than at any former period when there-were undi 113ited issues of paper money ?' When has there been wilder' speculatiod, or' more terrible depression ? .:Tttto difficulties commenced in 181 d, when prepara tions were made for a return to cash payments, and from that time there have been periodical panics, increasing in intensity with the steps taken to avoid thorn. The gold has been lying idle in the Bank cellars, of no greater utility than an equal weight of rubbish,, while the people have been enduring the greatest privations. Silver was rejected corn could not be purchased, although a famine was impending, and all from the stringency of the unwise and impolitic enact ments that have been unequivocally condemned by every disinterested and unprejudiced witneis. All we ask is a fair and impartial inquiry into the operation of the law, an investigation similar to that of the Lords' Committee in 1848. Let the People exert themselves, and they - must obtain that greatest of all benefits, a circulating medium equal to the wants and exigencies of the country. It were well for Franco if there were a few more men in it, bold, able, and honest enough to play the part of public censor like Count MONTA LEMBEET. The letter of this distinguished noble man to that Imperial tool,. the Count DE MORN.Y, the President of the Corps . Ilgislatif, on the subject of the Imperial concession to the ORLEANS Family, we are sure will be read with satisfaction in our columnS this day, by every one in whom a blind partiality has not extinguished the sense of justice. With an inexorabls logic the right minded Count pursues the Imperial spoliator, and strips his conduct towards the ORLEANS Family of every vestige of justice or reason. If the ancient rules of. the Monarchy—he argues—so , strangely invoked by NAPOLEON 111., were of sufficient force to warrant the appropriation of the ORLEANS property as the property of the State, what valid warrant can there .be for de spoiling the State of any part . of it, or of course any equivalent for it? The law the Corps itegislatif were called upon to vote could afford no such warrant, or else the property was wrongfully confiscated ; on the other hand, , this " ancient right" was not applicable to the 11)yalty created by the Charter in 1830 ; and iu this case why is a part only of the ORLEA.NS pro perty to berestored to the family, and to the female branch only ? Urging with like force the unan swerable query—Why, if the property ought to be restored, was it not proposed to be paid in kind? Why tilt give back the property itself instead of an equivalent at the expense of the tax-payers? These are hard nuts for NA POLEON to crack (of , the Corps Llgislatif we say nothing, the great majority being merely' puppets, governed by the Imperial haud), and will add to the growing unpleasantness of his po• sition. The fact is, there never was a more un scrupulous and unwarrantable act committed than the spoliation of the ORLEANS Family, and this lame attempt at restitution must he ragtrded, we are afraid, rather as an act of selfish policy than the result of conscientious qualms or sentiments of pity. NiroLlio; treading on a soil labonr ing with conspiracy, looks forward to' a possible event, and is to all appearance prepating for a contingency, in which the interests of himself and • family may be concerned. Whether his aim is likely, to prove, successful or not, we will not ,undertake to 'say ; but "this much is certain—his " Concession" will have the effect of drawing universal attention to what we mint be permitted' to describe as,. perhaps, the most flagrant and heartless 'act of robber); that was ever committed by the ruler of a great civilised people. Thus do foul acts return "to plague the inventors" and perpetrators. Cayenne will hence forth become, if it is not already, a word of terror to others than-revolutionists. We recommend a perusal of the entire letter, for which , not a few to France will-be abundantly grateful.' THE ENTRY OF THE GUARDS INTO LONDON. We can positively state that, up to the present time, no definite arrangements have been made for the entry of the Guards into London.

Twenty tunes hp, might have returned to the head of affairs, but as he does not ap prove -of the policy of ministers, he does not wish to a,sso ciate.himself with them; and he remains at e distance; so much so,'-that in order to prove to those who consider him as an enemy of the ministers and as envious of their - position, lie 'had determined to take A small journey, and thus relieve the ministers of , the shadow which alarmed them. The idea was not unskilful. When present, he was accused of obstructing the ministers, whilst, when absent, the weakness of mints tors would appear in full daylight. Meanwhile, the Viceroy of Egypt wished to give marriage latea, and to. celebrate his accession to power. He sent numerous in vitations to. Europe, and also to Constantinople ; one of the letters was to Reschicl . Paella; betweeri whom and Said Pacha a coolness existed. He replied that he would consider; a second add more Pressing invitation followed, and he accepted. He acquainted the Sultan with his, determinaqoui and obtained 'his Majesty's consent, The Nlinistry apeedi!y heard of the proposed step, and uttered a cry of alarm. It reflacted that Said Pacha,- who was on ba I terms with the cabeacan of the Grand Via:r and with Feed Pacha, inight, with the aid df Reschid Paella,. compass its rum, and it was More alarmed at the proposed absence of ResChid'Paeha than it 'cluld possibly be at bia presence. Toe Ministers held a council, and finally hinted .to- the Sultan that this journey might perhaps Conceal . certain improper projects. The Sultan, who is ,good, but very weak,, ended by believing the suggestions of Mehemet and Fuad Pacha. Th'+ day of d-paqure drew near, and Reichid Pacha visited the Sultan to take leave. Toe Sultan gave him to understand that this journey was not agree able to hints, but he did not withdraw his authorisation, and Reschid:Pacha departed. The• e are the simple fact, of the case. It; cum ri,ot he doubted that the Sultan, more than ever discontented with his ministers, w.0u1.1 have preferred that Rescht4 .Pacha should remain here, for his presence may 'become necessary from one moment ti another ; but it is exactly that perplexed state of affairs which inspires Resehid with the desire of absent ing himself for the present tram power."

Much excitement prevailed in the Legislature at the passing of Mr. Cayley's resolutions in aid of the- Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. In proposing them Mr. Cayley showed that the whole of the works remaining to be completed on the Ist of April amounted, under agreement, to 316,0001., and would be finished in a few weeks. The cost of the work completed was 7,862,4001., or 1,184,764/. more than the estimated cost. The funds in the company's hands were—B shares, , 4300,0001. ; and B bonds, 400,0001. worth 85 per cent. The company had been obliged to lay out their money on auxiliary roads, which had reduced the funds available to pay contractors. The con- tractors had offered to give up their contract, upon payment for work done, at a valuation. All the funds of the company were required to finish the work from Slatford to St. Thomas, and, therefore, the proposition was made to allow them to issue preferential bonds. lie concludes by urgibg the necessity of completing the road, with a view to the best interests of the prtWince.

In the Council, yesterday, two messages were' re ceived from his Excellency the Governor, one trafis witting copies of correspondence which had taken place between the President of the Free State and Moshe,h, Great Chief of the Basutos, with regard to the boundary line. The President of the Free State in a letter to the Governor expressed his fears that a bloody war was impending between the Free State and the Basutos. He expre4s d his belief that a great cmnbination was being formed between the great Kaffir chiefs against the Europeans. . The Pr-:sicient also sta,..ed that he was about to expel a number of Zulus, who had squatted on the farms of: inhabitants of the state, who were becom ing very troublesome by their thefts, and who threat ened to cut off all communication with Natal. The Governor informed the Council that on receiving this information, and on account of the alarming rumours which had reached him from the frontiers of this colony, he had sent to Mauritius, requesting the immediate assistance of one regiment of her Majesty's troops, having failed• to obtain enrolled pensioners from England. The second message transmitted a bill f)r rendering more effective the services of arch military pensioners receiving pensions from the colony as shall be called out to assist in preserving the pubic peace.

NAPOLEON GREAT AT BAS'SANO. PAINTED BY T. J. BARKER. For a long time past this exquisite engraving has been about the most picturesque and conspicuous object in the windows of the printsellers. "Na poleon the Great re , iiking his Officers at Bassano" —engraved upon a grand scale and in the highest style of art by Charles G. Lewis, from the original painting by T. J. Barker, a masterpiece now in the possession of J. Garle Browne, of Leicester. By this time every body knows it surely by heart— this noble picture of a most noble incident. The celebrated incident of the young Republican Com mander-in-Chief, General Napoleon Bonaparte, coming one evening about sundown upon a most affecting group upon the battle-field--the dead body of a soldier over which his faithful hound piteously howled forth its lamentations. " There, gentlemen"—exclaimed the youthful hero, direct ing the attention of his staff to the occurrence— " that dog teaches us a lesson of humanity !" In portraying the whole scene the artist has revealed, we cannot but think, a really uncommon, amount of genius as an historical painter. The ,lovely. Italian landscape forming , the . background is not more true to the reality than the reedy foreground -where Napoleon's war-horse plashes amohg the water-flags and bullrushes. The entire comppsition of the picture, moreover, demonstrates, in a very remarkable manner, the artistic. capacity tat the, mind from which fhiS be'atitiful work of art has happily emanated.. Although the dog with his snout raised in the air,.,and his forepaws -extended over the corpse of his master, is A figure-' central figur in the picture—givin g it th e familiar advantage too of the old, and charming, and favourite pyramidal appearance—the most notable part of the prodtle; tion is, of course (as it ought to be), the mout4d. form of Napoleon the Great, pointing to the inci- Aent delineated, and uttering to the officers of his, staff his famous words of 'rebuke and admonition.. As for the authenticity of the anecdote itself, of - 1 that, we believe, there can be no - reasonable,.; doubt- whatever. It has been related againn and again, by historian after historian, and biographer after biographer. The only question at. all • about it, left in a manner undecided, even now appears to us to be the precise date and the actual locality at which the incident, really occurred as already related. The mos - - gene rally, received notion on the subject is the one, which has been here adopted by Mr. Barker, namely, that fixieg upon the Bth of September, 1796, as the time, and the batttle-field of Bassano as the place of the occurrence so often recounted, and here at length so touchingly commemorated. Aceording to the narrative written by Laurent de l'Ardeche, and illustrated by the pencil of Horace Vernet, the "date" was, on the contrary, nearly four years later on, namely, the 14th of June, Iboo, the " scene " being that of a much more famous battle-field, that of the great historic vic tory won upon the plains of Marengo. Napoleon being nearly thirty-one at the last-mentioned period, and scarcely twenty-seven at the epoch selected by Mr. Barker, _namely, that of his earlier triumph at Bassano. It should be remembered,- moreover, 'in regard to this victory of. Bassano, that it was but the ninth of those marvellous suc• cesses which were so soon to be multiplied in num ber'. and magnitude beyond the limits of very ready calculation. Gen. Bonaparte ,then a young liero Of twenty-six, already renowned by reason of hiaeapture.of Torilma(l9th Dec., 1793) and by his Defeat of-the Sections (sth O c t., 1795) had opened on the 9th of April, 1796, the first, and, perhaps, all things considered, the greatest of his Italian ,cainpaignti (wonderful though the succeeding cam paigns were in their general character)—winning on the 11th:of-April the battle of Mantenotte, on the' 14th that of Mille.sSitno, on the *lsth that of. Deg,O;`alid on the 21st that of Mondovi ; passing like a whirlwind on the 10th of May over the bridge of Lodi ; striking dOwn the Austrian ban ners on the 3d of August at Lonado, and on the sth at Castiglione defeating the veteran Wurm ser on the 4th of -September at Roveredo, and on the Bth (as already ob serve d) at B assano . Here the vivid brush of our eminent English artist has de picted him—as Napoleon appeared then, - very dif ferent indeed from the Napoleon of after-times— thin, sallow, his hair hanging in elf-locks down his shoulders, exactly as his features have been pre serVed to us in marble by the master hand of An tonio Canova. Napoleon -the Great it is we have before us iu Mr. Barker's noble painting—but Na poleon as a General, not as an Emperor. Napoleon somewhat as he appeared for the first time before the future arch-C.iancellor of his Empire, Duke awl Prince of Cambac6res. And that ? Listen how Cambacdrea describes him as he appeared then at their first interview—" A little, thin, sallow complexioned man ; his ill-arranged hair hanging down in curls called ore'illes de chien , in fashion at that time ; very badly dres s ed—hi s boots too short, his coat too long, his cravat horridly wrinkled, his hat bearing e vidence oflong service." Yet, C3ntin ties the Arch-Chancellor of the Hereafter, " Disfigured as he was by these shabby habiliments, I could not help remarking his white and beautifully-formed bands, and his mouth, which was inconceivably hand some, especially when animated by either a good natured or satirical smile. And then his eyes ! . . What eyes they w ere ! as b r illi an t as those of the lion or the eagle, at once gen le, firm, penetrating, and confiding . . . . expressive of sublime genius and magnanimity. He had altogether the -air of a sovereign in the garb of a beggar, or perhaps, I may say, lie looked like Jupiter when lie visited Baucis and Philemon. . . Superiority of intellect . was marked in every look and gesture : his appearance, in short, produced upon me an immediate and irresistible fascination. I was under a spell. I felt that I was in tile presence of a man who commanded my respect and admiration. Such, at least, is the im pression lie produced on me at first sight. Citi zen said my visitor, lam General Napoleon Bonaparte.'" And Mr. Barker has, in this noble picture of the incident of the Dog on the battle field of Btssano portrayed for us in feature, if not in garb, the young General Napoleon Bona parte, as depicted in marble by the chisel of Ca nova, and as described to Baron Langon by the voice of Cainbaeeres. And Mr. Lewis also, in his turn, has, with a most adroit and ingenious graver, admirably represented in black awl white what the brush of the painter has so glowingly deline ated in the historical original, at present in the possession of Mr. Garle Browne, of Leicester. Al together, we are in no way surprised to observe that the engraving is formally dedicated by the latter gentleman to " Those who pay homage to Intel lect''—for is' it not the portraiture of a great man by an artist of extraordinary ability ?—this glo rious picture of Napoleon the Great teaching a lesson of humanity to the future Marshals of his Empire, the Paladins of a later and greater Charlemagne. COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT ON THE DI: PERTAL CONCESSION TO THE ORLEANS FAMILY. Count de Montalembert has addressed the fol. lowing letter to Count de Morny, the President of the Corps Legislatif : " Monsieur le President,—Being detained 120 leagues from Paris by imperative family duties, which obliged me to a-k for leave of absence from the Corps Legisla tif, I feel the deepest regret that I cannot take part in tie c.mong debate on the bill relative to the grant of 60,000 f. rente to the Princesses of the house of Orleans or their heirs. " But I apprehend that my forced absence does not deprive me of the right to express my opinion upon this bill, and conformably with divers precedents which you will readily-find in the annals of the assemblies where we have sat together, I have the honour to address my self to ;you, Monsieur le President, to request you to make known that opinion to my colleagues.

BUCKSTONE'S ADDRESS. Any night or every night at the Ilayre:lrket, the pub lic give amule testimony of the estimaVon in which tbef hold the talented and enterprising lessee; but if one wished to behold him in all his glory, surrounded by troops of friends and overwhelmed continuously with plaudits and bouquets, one must go on the night of his annual benefit, and baying arrived betimes in order to procure a seat, be will see an amount and cordiality of welcome such as is seldom accorded to actor or manager. Mr. Thickstone treated his audience yesterday evening to a varied and strongly-cast entertainment. ask' spere's " Twelfth Night" wag drawn from the theatrical repertoire after a rest of eight years for the occasion, fol lowed by a new Spanish ballet and a dramatic sketch, in which Mr. Buckstone and Miss Fane were most suc cessful in amusing the audience. But benefit nights Are not occasions for criticism, and the public will no doubt be iotere,ted in hearing what Mr. Buclurtone bas to say for himself, which will be found in the subjoined lid dress, delivered by him with "due emphasis and discre tion," and amid thunders of applause "',Ales and Gentlemen,--It is now three years anal I had the honour of addressing you, on the occasion of my benefit, in July, 1853, when this theatre closed for three mouths, in order to make certain alterations and repairk n Of I then promised a new and enlarged stage, the eletairo the scenery, a thorough re-decoration, and, for the first time here, a Christmas pantomime. All these promises I have fulfilled ; N4hile the introduction of a pantomime has for three years been most successful, and which, when Christmas comes again, I shall continue to present, in our usual poetic and fanciful manner, aided by the masterly painting brush of Mr. Wm.

I have certainly added the Spanish ballet, but that may be ,called the-toe and heel of my shoe ;.• and when .the toes and heels of Perea Nene and her company are displayed, I am sure they are more likely to wear out the stage than your patronage and admiration. It is a common custom to make use of common phrases, and whether such phrases may convey the truth or not, we sometimes employ them so often that they at least wear the swrible4ce of truth.
