GENTLEMEN,—The peace which has happily subsisted in Europe for so long a period, is now unfortunately disturbed, by the unprincipled and ambitious aggressions of the Emperor of Russia upon the Turkish Empire. These projects on the part of a great semi-barbarous military rower, evidently endangering not only the progress, but even the 'existence of civilisation in Europe, have compelled the British and :French Governments 0 adopt a combined resi , tance for the interests 'of mankind. In the force a out to he despatched for this p•irpose to 'the Beene of action, her 0 ajesty's Government have been pleased to require my humble military services, and which of course I obey with alacrity, in so sacred a cause. IN the fulfilment of this duty, I feel convinced that the great •nc,jority of my constituents (who have on so many occasions sus tz.ined me in the high position of their representative in Parliament), -win appreciate my feelings, sanction my conduct, and extend to me their indulgence. From the great armaments, both naval and military, about to be 'employed to accomplish the objects we all so deeply desire in this momentous affair, and which so vitally affect the welfare of this country in particular, I am led to the hope that my absence will be but of short duration; and fully persuaded of your sympathy, I have consequently obtained a pair with Colonel Herbert, of the Conserva tive party, whose military services have been also required. With heartfelt recollection of the very many years during which I - have enjoyed your confidence, and throughout which period I have zealously attempted to carry out your expressed desires, and hoping for a continuance of your much-valued approbation, I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, DE LACY VANS.

M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matr i cu lated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., dec. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its peruse. )18 particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary th a tall men should know , that there are principles of personal triftnagement which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con.equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in +he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant ernpirica, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES. — It is very probable the Emperor of Russia will get more than he bar gained for, and, more probable, he will meet with an interruption called a complete defeat. The forces of England and France will probably cut such a figure as will leave no doubt of the consequences of the affray. All countries look upon the issue with as much in terest as all classes feel in witnessing the unity of the skill of Eng land, France, and every other nation, as it is displayed by E. MOSES and SON in their magnificent Spring and Summer Attire, which evinces unparalleled experience aid inimitable business activity, and will ensure the most brilliant success for their City and West-end Establishments. The numberless novelties in materials and designs in Dress for all classes, and the most economical charges for Attire, Bespoke or Ready-made, will claim the attention of ladies and gen tlemen in every section in society. Whatever conjectures may have been made respecting the Spring and Summer preparations of E. MOSES and Sox, the most probable consequence is that they are des tined to be infinitely surpassed, for at no period of time and by no house of business whatever were ever collected such a Splendid, Fashionable, and Seasonable Stock of Clothing, Hats, Hosiery, Ladies' Di ess Booth and Shoes, &c., as at the Establishments of E. Moses and SON at the present time. An necessary information is gratuitously supplied by E.

The intelligence transmitted to us on Friday evening by our correspondent at Berlin was a cor rect statement of the result of the last appeal ad dressed to the Emperor of Russia by the Western Powers, which is now confirmed by the arrival of the Queen's messenger from St. Petersburg at a late hour on Saturday night. The Emperor him self is said to have left the capital for Helsinfors, in Finland, after he became acquainted with the nature of the summons, but before the actual ar rival of the courier who was the bearer of it. Count Nesselrode, however, was instructed to in form the Consuls of England and France, who are, in the absence of the two legations, the principal representatives of their respective Governments in Russia, that to this summons for the evacuation of the Principalities no answer would be given by . the Imperial Court. Nothing, therefore, now re mains but that last alternative which the Allied Powers have contemplated throughout these tran sactions, if their honourable and persevering efforts to restore peace, on the terms assented to by the Four Great Powers of Europe, unhappily proved ineffectual. The next step to be taken is that which will constitute the state of war between Eng land, France, and. Turkey on the one side, and the Russian empire on the other. The convention which is to regulate the military operations of the three Powers has already been signed at Constan tinople—we believe on the 12th of this month ; and These reinforcements will make the actual strength of the fleet at present at Wingo Sound, or en route thereto, amount to the following : Screws.

Ships, 32; guns, 1,516; men, 15,300; horse-power, 11,552. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 26. Another fine new heavily armed ship left this morn ing to augment the fleet under Admiral Napier—the Cmsar, 91, screw, Captain Robb. She weighed about seven o'clock under all plain sail, and left with a fine breeze from the westward. Her crew was completed by a draught of about 80 from the number (215) of Coast guard men and others brought by the steam-frigate Magicienne, 16, Captain Fisher, from the north of Ire land yesterday morning. It is expected the comple ment of the St. George, 120, at Spithead, will also be materially increased by the men thus brought, and that she will be the next ship to leave for the Baltic. Men being scarce, a number of vessels have been orde re d home from foreign stations, among the Meander, 44, from the Cape ; the Fox. 42, from the East Indies (she has been relieved) ; the Centaur, 11, from the Brazils ; and the Athol, Waterwitch, Myrmidon, Teazer, and Alecto from the coast of Africa. These, on arrival, will give upwards of 1,150 men for distribution, and mate rially strengthen the crews of the fleet, for all are, of course, good and experienced seamen. Some disagree able circumstances on board the Desperate have been brought under the notice of the Admiralty since that vessel hasbeen lying at Spithead by means of a " round -robin," which the Port-Admiral, Sir Thomas Cochrane, went off to inquire into for the second time yester day. The Conflict, 8, screw-corvette, Captain Foote, left Spithead last evening for the Baltic. The Hecla, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Captain W. H. Hall, went to Spithead yesterday afternoon, and will leave in a day or two for the Baltic, where Captain Hall's experience will be of great advantage. Much surprise has been expressed at "Nemesis" Hall taking so small a vessel, he being a captain of 10 years' standing, but the fact is that the Admiralty had nothing else in a sea-going condition to offer him when he ap plied. Sir James Graham regretted he had not a ship suitable to his rank and abilities to offer him, when the Hecla came into his recollection at the moment, and he said, "By the way, there's the Hecla, would you take her?" " I'll take a launch, Sir James, if' you will com mission her," was the prompt and gallant reply ; nor do we think the insignificant size of the ship will materially hinder so good and well-tried an officer from rendering valuable assistance in the fleet. The House of Commons has alr a ady shown, by its readiness in granting the su j plies, that it heartily approves of the resoluti m which the Government has reluctantly, bu: t deliberately, adopted. It is fitting, however, ti is It Parliament should have an opportunity of claim u ig its rightful share in the responsibility of the nat onal decision ; and tho response which will be re n dered to the appeal from the Throne cannot tie a subject of doubt. The two Houses would but ill represent the feelings of the country, if they ere backward in vindicating the cause of European . i ndependence. In the debates on the answor to the l A )yal Message, those who may differ in opinion fror a the Ministers will be able to explain their reasons i fr om dissenting from any portion of the policy iv: ai Leh has been pursued ; but .there is ground to ' hope that no attempt will be made to disturbitba tit eanimity with which it is desirable that the Addret o ;es should be voted. the Conclusion of such an agreement with the Porte, at a time when the Sultan is already at war with Russia, is in itself an act of positive hostility. From the moment, however, that France and Eng land resolve to take an active part in these opera tions, the magnitude of the political questions at stake, the extent of the theatre of war, from North ern to: Eastern Europe, and a just sense of their own dignity and of the cause which summons them to arms, must render these Powers the principals rather than the auxiliaries in the war, and call for such a declaration of hostilities, and such measures in the prosecution of them, as are adopted when the interests and honour of this country are most directly engaged. A message from the Crown, there fore will be brought down to both Houses of Parlia ment this evening to announce the final termina tion of diplomatic communications with Russia by an act tantamount to a declaration of war, and to state the unavoidable necessity of havingrecourse to hostilities to enforce those principles which her Majesty's Government have resolved to defend, with the active support of France and the cordial good wishes of the rest of Europe. This Message will, we believe, be taken into consideration by Parliament on Friday next, but the actual declara tion of war will probably be ordered at a Council to be held on Wednesday, and instructions will then be issued to the naval forces of the Crown to treat as enemies the ships and subjects of the State to which we are opposed. All trade and intercourse between the subjects of the two States will immedi ately become illegal, and liable to be punished by capture and forfeiture, except in as far as a time of grace or license may be granted by the Crown for cargoes or other property embarked and on the way to this country at the time of the breaking out of war ; and this period was extended in 1807, when war was declared by this country against Russia, to a fortnight after the declaration of hostilities. Prepared as we are for this declaration by a long course of negotiations and events, which have already kept the attention and the interests of the world in suspense for upwards of twelve months, it is impossible not to feel that there is something inexpressibly solemn in the near approach of that great calamity, which it is now our duty to meet. The spirit and the resources of this nation will, doubtless, bear us proudly through this trial; and to the abundant blessings which Providence has be stowed npon this country we trust that this one may be added—that the fame and power and liberty of England shall not in our hands wane or decay. But we should scarcely be worthy of these privi leges if we were incapable of looking steadfastly at the change which awaits us, and at the sacrifices which this contest may require. We have no right to presume that this war will be a light or easy en terprise. It is a struggle between the most power ful empires of the world, whose honour on both sides is deeply engaged in the result of it. It is a strug gle by the freedom of England, supported by the military force of France, against the ambitious ab solutism of Russia on the field she has long marked out for oonquest. The indirect consequences of such a war are even more complicated and doubful than those which are patent on the surface. We know not the effect it may produce on the political relations of Europe ; we know not the effect it can The great majority in each House jof Parliament concur with the Government in the ( mviction that war has, from the first, been unavoi d able, and yet fully approve of the strenuous effoi ,s which have been made to attain a peaceful soluti .c But even those who believe that the collision c o uld have been averted may conscientiously join h 2. a resolution that the whole strength of the n a tion shall be employed to carry on the contest - with success. Foreign States, whether enemies, alli e s, or neutrals, will appreciate the power which an :English Sove reign derives from the concert an C l co-operation afforded by the Great Council of the :nation. It is fitting that so great and seri k ma an under taking should be commenced with .clue form and solemnity. The reasons which have .e dto the rup ture of a long-continued peace, ale L( mgh familiar to all men, ought to be placed upon I record, while the general purposes of the conte: it ought to be defined. It is not a war of conques t on which we are entering, nor is it a war of religic nl. The Em peror of Russia, on pretexts which a 11. Europe de clares to be untenable, has forcil 11 y occupied a portion of the Turkish territory, and has persisted in retaining it, notwithstanding the c lifer of large concessions for the sake of peace. 3.tis to check the lawless ambition of an unprovo :ed invader, and to maintain the rights of the Ott comm. Porte, that England and France have enter .6 d the field. The Royal Message of to-day will, no. doubt, serve to explain to the world the mode r ation of the demands put forward by the Allies, as. well as their resolute purpose to enforce them. The Magicienne, 16, Captain Fisher, came into har bour to coal yesterday afternoon. It is supposed she will attend the St. George to the Baltic. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 26. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship James Watt, 91, Cap tain the Hon. George Elliot, went from the Hamoaze into the Sound yesterday afternoon. Her crew will be paid wages to-morrow, and she will leave for Spithead the same day. The despatch steam-frigate Magicienne, Captain Fisher, which put in here yesterday to embark volun teers for the eastward, left Portsmouth on the 4th inst, and called for Coast-guard-men at Cork, Bearhaven, Valentia, Ventry, Tarbert, Galway, Ballinakiel, West port, Black Sod Bay, Killala, Killibegs, Arranmore Island, and Lough Swilley, having run a distance of more than 1,400 miles. The weather, during the first portion of her voyage, was exceedingly boisterous and foggy, which detained her considerably between Bearhaven and Galway. At the latter port Mr. Kelly, commanding the revenue cruiser Amphitrite, was ordered to take the duty of pilot, for which, on the west coast of Ireland, he was well qualified. The Wild Wave Government contract sloop, from Liverpool, arrived yesterday afternoon, and proceeded to the Devonport dockyard. After taking in stores there she removes to the Royal William victualling yard, to ship bread and rum for the forces In the Mediterranean. PREPARATIONS FOI t WAR.

The Austerlitz, 100 guns, and the Conflict, both screws, passed Dover under steam and sail, about noon to-day, on their way to join the fleet in the Baltic. The Austerlitz saluted the port as she passed, but consider able delay occurred before the compliment was returned. LIVERPOOL MARCH 25, The Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria sailed this morn ing for Malta, via Kingstown, with a detaehaent of the 77th Regiment. She was to embark detachments of other regiments at Kingstown to-morrow, and then proceed to her destination. SHEERNESS, 111Anctr 2G. The Horatio, 24guns, screw:A team-frigate, Comman der Robert Jenner, left here - for Hull yesterday, at 9.40 a.m. Permission was given for the wives and fa milies of the ship's company 'to take a passage in her, and many availed themselves of this considerate grant. She is to be stationed at Hull for the instructio❑ of the newly raised volunteers for the navy in the great gun and cutlass exercise, &c. preparatory to their being draughted into seagoing ships. The Cuckoo, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Master Com mander George Brockman, left here yesterday in com pany with the Horatio, for Hull, Mr. Brockman having charge of the Horatio as Queen's pilot. The Cuckoo will return to Yarmouth to convey volunteers raised at that port for general service and for ships fitting in the rivers Thames and Medway. The crew of the Driver, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam sloop, Commander the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, were paid advance yesterday at her moorings. Captain-Super intendent Charles Hope superintended the payment. The crew of the Rosamond, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Commander George Wodehouse, were paid their advance yesterday. hardly fail to produce on the dominions and future condition of that empire, the decay of_whichhas proved, as had long been predicted, the first serious cause of European war. The whole question is surrounded with great obscurity, and mixed up with more uncertain chances than a statesman iikes to contemplate at the outset of such an undertak ing. Out of these elements, already sufficiently disturbed by the late convulsion of the continent of Europe, the Emperor of Russia has not scrupled to cause war to arise, by acts which bear the stamp of unqualified duplicity and violence. Looking , back on the whole of these transactions, it is im possible to entertain a doubt that his mind was made up that the time had come when his policy required him to proceed to extremities ; and whe ther Turkey struggled on with increasing difficulty, or pursued her course of regeneration with success, Russia was resolved to constitute herself the ar biter of its destinies. According to all the prin ciples of policy long established by reason and tra dition in this country and the rest of Europe, this movement brought Russia into direct collision with the other Powers, and all her attempts to disguise the results of her own insidious projects have been entirely vain. WOOLWICH, MARCH 25. The Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship, had her steam up to-day in the basin, at Woolwich dockyard, to test her engines of 450-horse power, originally made by Scott and Sinclair, of Greenock, for the iron steam-frigate first named the Greenock, but subsequently changed to Mel bourne. The screw was in its proper position when the trial took place, and the engines worked satisfactorily. She is now reported ready for sea, so far as the steam department is concerned, and Tuesday next is named for her being taken out of the basin and to Sheerness to be masted and rigged for sea. It is probable she will be taken to Chatham dockyard to be docked and coppered. The Hannibal was launched at Deptford on January 31, and some idea may be formed of the facilities possessed by this country in fitting out ships of war, when it is stated that this fine ship was taken into the basin at Woolwich on February 15, had one of her boilers put on board the same evening, and on March 25 had the steam-engines, of 450 horse-power, on board, and in perfect working order. The Archer, 14, screw steam-corvette, Capt. Heath cote, went down the river yesterday to try her engines, and they were found to work satisfactorily. She re turned to Woolwich in the evening, and to-day she draughted 10 of the newly-entered men from the Fis gard, flag-ship at this port, and left for the Baltic at 6 o'clock p.m., taking out with her several bags of letters. The crew of the Fisgard manned yards when the Archer left, and, with most hearty cheers, bade adieu to the first draught of seamen taken from those newly-entered under the 10 years' continuous service regulations. Twenty more of the fine young men on board the Fisgard are ready to be draughted into other vessels. The Hecate and Spiteful steam-sloops are again to be brought forward for commission, and the Jackall steam vessel has been taken into dock to be refitted. ROYAL ARTILLERY. The country at large having now the fullest evi dence of the truth before it, is, we believe, com pletely satisfied that it was impossible to recede, or to stand aloof, after Russia had poured her armies into Turkish territory ; and that the Governments of England, France, and Germany have subse quently exhausted every means consistent with honour to avert war. That is the ground on which the Ministers of the Crown are entitled to claim, and will probably obtain, the universal support of the nation ; and, strengthened by the efforts they have never ceased to make in the cause of peace, they will assume without apprehension the heaviest responsibility which it can fall to the lot of any statesman to bear. They cannot, indeed, forget that, after almost forty years of unbroken peace and rare felicity, we are entering upon an epoch of a different character, which, though it may raise the power and beneficent influence of England to a higher point, must be purchased by the dearest of sacrifices. They cannot but remem ber that in some respects the calamities of war are aggravated by the long interval of peace—that trade has enormously extended, that nations are become more dependent on each other, and that their hardships mint now be in propor tion to the benefits they have mutually conferred and received. This motive will doubtless tend to induce the Government of this country more espe cially to take the lead in the most liberal measures of commercial policy in war which have yet been acted upon by civilised nations. But, above all, the grand object we must all have in view is to bring this war, by energetic measures, to a prompt and successful termination. If that can be accom plished, the peace of the world will be the more secure from the proof we shall have given that this country, with all her commercial reputation, has not forgotten the use of her ancient weapons, and that France, with all her millitary glory, is not less earnest than ourselves, in repudiating the spirit of conquest, and in defending the !cause of peace. In this hope the people of England are prepared for war ; for this object they will wage it ; and, with entire confidence in the valour of her Majesty's forces, and in the justice of our cause, the united heart and voice of the nation will invoke the protection of Almighty God to— No. 8 company of the 11th battalion, and No. 1 and 2 of the 12th battalion, expect to be formed into com panies for working siege guns. DUBLIN, Manou 25. The Cambria will arrive in Kingstown to-morrow, for the purpose of taking on board the remaining companies of the 33d and 50th regiments, with which she will sail on Tuesday morning. A troop of Artillery will embark for Liverpool on Monday morning. A second troop will leave Dublin for Southampton on Wednesday. Their places will be supplied by a troop which will arrive from Liverpool on the latter day. The 63d and 31st regiments, underwent another in spection to-day, before Major-General Cochrane, pre vious to their embarkation for war service. A large body of volunteers, including several from the regiments now in garrison, have joined the 63d and 21st. Twenty rank and file from the 90th Regiment (now under orders for Bengal), have also volunteered, and joined the 63d yesterday. It is expected, however, that the order for sending the 90th Regiment to the East Indies will be countermanded. _ _ "Scatter our enemies, And make them fall." ( From the Morning Chronicle.) We presume we may now justly term the force under Sir Charles Napier " the Baltic Picet," for there is little doubt that the next despatch to Sir Charles Napier will inform him of that formal declaration which will give him the Royal authority to enter the Baltic, and ma k e war upon the common enemy to the peace of the world. Since the departure of Sir C. Napier, the Baltic force has been strengthened by the following additions : Gun Men' Commanders. --- Neptune sailing 120 070 Capt The Admiralty have advertised for immediate tenders for the supply of hay and oats for cavalry horses, to be delivered at the ports of Dublin, Kingstown, and Dun dalk. Several days ago we announced the refusal of the Russian Government to comply with the demands of England and France ; and the messenger who had conveyed those demands to St. Petersburg re turned on Saturday, with the official confirmation of the fact. Count Nesselrode formally intimated to the English and French consuls, that the Em peror would not return any answer to the ultima tum of the Allied Governments. The efforts of diplomacy are, therefore, finally exhausted, and no alternative remains but war. This country is deeply sensible of the evils which are inseparable from the rupture of peace ; but the defiance which has been thrown out by Russia will be accepted, not with levity or indifference, but in a spirit of cheerful readiness. The Government will appeal to the support of the nation with unhesitating and well founded confidence. Hutton, flag of 6r-Admira.l Corry. Erskine. Glanville. Monarch... Boscawen . sailing Capt.

'to so important a service is highly flattering to that offi cer , as he has been selected for the special ervice without any regard to his turn of duty, he being ti ie last field officer who served in that capacity abroad, In .ving only returned last year from the Mediterranean in the flag-ship of Sir William Parker. The fact of se le( sting Lieut.-Colonel Graham points out how very fey ,v among the field officers of the Marines are con sic lered eligible for active service. At this moment th ere is but one field officer (Lieut.-Colonel Pratt) at tiv thed to the fleet in the Black Sea, although the force of Royal Marines is between 2,000 and 3,000 men, wl iich is hourly liable to be landed in the face of a powerful enemy, without having a fair proportion of ofl icers, and no staff of any kind. It is, therefore, Ilichly necessary that officers of all ranks should be immediately despatched to reinforce the numbers both in the Baltic and Black Seas. ROYAL MARINES FOR THE WAR. Lieut. Colonel Graham, of the Plymouth division, has been ordered to hold himself in readiness to proceed to the Baltic by an early opportunity, to join the flag-ship of Sir Charles Napier, for the purpose of commanding the Royal Marines of the fleet, who may now hourly be ex pected to be brought into active service. It is expected that at least two other field-officers will be appointed to the Baltic fleet to assist Lieutenant Colonel Graham, and it is to be hoped that a proper and efficient staff will also be appointed, otherwise the number of company officers must be much reduced for the purpose of filling the ne cessary staff appointments, and which would have a damaging effect of leaving the companies without a suf ficient number of officers to command them ; as it is, the Royal Marines have less officers in proportion to the strength of the companies than any other corps under the Crown. The selection of Lieutenant Colonel Graham NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. It will be seen by the report of Rear Admiral Berke ley's speech at the Mansion House, on Saturday, that, as we stated, th e ga ll an t offi cer was ae earnest candidate ' for service in the Baltic fleet, and " ran a race " with Sir C. Napier for the chief command. A weekly contemporary states that on Captain Charles Hope attaining his flag rank, which he will do on the 31st March, if the Admiralty remove the name of Sir Bohn Franklin from the list as "missing," Captain Christopher Wyvill (1832) will succeed him as superin tendent of Sheerness Dockyard. The new secretary will be Mr. J. B. Luson. Commander William M. I. G. Pasco (1846), son of the late Rear Admiral Pasco, who was Nelson's flag lieutenant at Trafalgar, has been appointed to command the blue division of transports, and will convey artillery to the Mediterranean. He will hoist his pendant on board the Caduceus. The pay attached to the appoint ment is 1/. 12s. per diem. Commodore Adam's flag-ship for the coast o f Afrioa is not to be the Termagant, 24, screw, but the Sc ourge, 6, paddle, to be fitted at Portsmouth.

On Saturday evening a banquet was given by the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, to her Majesty's Ministers, and the invitations included the foreign am. bassadors and many of the leading members of the aristocracy. The Ministers present were in their official costumes ; the general company were for the most part similarly attired ; and as the room was graced with the presence of a large number of ladies, dressed suitably to the occasion, the spectacle was gay and brilliant in the extreme. The dinner itself was of the most choice and sumptuous character. After the re. moval of the cloth, The LORD MAYOR gave the health of her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, Albert Prince of 'Wales, and the rest of the royal family, which met with the customary enthusiastic response. The CHAIRMAN said, the next toast was one which had been received by the country during the last few months with great attention. They had been in the habit of giving " The Army and Navy " for 40 years past, with a feeling of satisfaction at the deeds they had achieved, and of gratification that those deeds had secured a peace which had lasted so long. But lie feared that peace was now drawing to a close. If rumour ~ p oke truly, he might call that a memorable day for England ; for he had heard it stated that that might be considered the last day of European peace. Of course, he was not in the secrets of the Cabinet: but still rumour with its busy tongue shadowed forth certain events ; and whether the rumour which he bad mentioned were. true or not, sure he was, that if they had to appeal to British arms, they would find the same valour displayed in the forthcoming struggle that had distinguished the British arms in past times. (Cheers.) He might con gratulate his fellow-citiaens and his fello w-countrymen on the fact that they had presiding over the army a nobleman w h o h a d di st i ngu i s h e d hi mself gallantly in the field —a nobleman whose wisdom was so established that confidence was reposed in all that he undertook. Ile alluded, of course, to Lieut.-General Lord Hardinge. (Loud cheers.) The wisdom and energy which was dis played in the military affairs of this country were no leas conspicuou s in the naval department ; and he rejoiced in being honoured on that occasion with the presence of a Lord of the Admiralty. He should, therefore, call upon the company, at this eventful period, to drink the " Army and Navy" with sincerity and heartiness ; join ing with the toast the names of Lieut.-General Lord Hardinge and Ad m i ral Berkeley. (Cheers.) The toast was mos t cordially received. Lord Hannnsoz—My Lord Mayor, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I beg to offer you my most grateful thanks on the part of the arrny for the honour you have conferred upon it. Deprecating as Ido every recourse to war which can be avoided, and lamenting to hear from your lordship this evening that this will be the last day of peace, I nevertheless have no hesitation in saying that I am proud to return thanks for the army, because I believe that the conduct of this country in endeavour ing so long to avert war, and its disinterested and honourable efforts to maintain the independence of our ally, and to resist a most unjustifiable aggression Upon him, justifies us in at length having recourse to arms, when no other solution seems possible, and peace is, r fear, hopeless. (Cheers.) Seeing so many of my gal lant brethren at this festive table, who are under orders to join the expedition to the East, I must beg leave to say to them, and to this assembly, that I have no doubt that the military operations will be conducted with great skill and energy under the command of my noble friend Lord Raglan. (Cheers.) That gallant offi cer was for many years the companion, side by side, of the great duke on many memorable occasions in war - and during 30 years of peace he was also the military secretary and confidential friend of his grace, and was highly-esteemed both by the duke and by the army. (Cheers.) The army, therefore, have the fullest confi dence in their chief, and Lord Raglan, animated by the conviction that his selection for the command is approved by his fellow-countrymen, will, I am sure, be ready to do his duty most faithfully and manfully. (Cheers.) I again, therefore, return you my sincere thanks for the honour you have done the army. (Hear, hear.) Admiral BERKELEY—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and , gentlemen, I own that I feel peculiar pride in having to . return thanks to you for my gallant companions in the navy ; but I may add that that pride is somewhat tine ; tured with regret--perhaps I might almost say with a touch of envy—that lam not going to join them. I myself put in my claims, though very inferior, against those of the gallant officer who has been appointed to command the fleet which has just left our shores. I ran the race honestly with him. (Hear, hear.) lam not sorry that he succeeded ; because, as I told those who consulted me, he is one of the few officers whom, sooner than be left behind, I would willingly serve under. (Cheers.) That gallant admiral will no doubt wait pa tiently for an opportunity ; but, when he strikes, he will strike boldly and hard. (Cheers.) I must add that the regret which I feel at not being allowed to serve is, I believe, shared by many other officers of the British navy ; and for myself I will only say further, that I should have liked, before my life closes, to have been associated with my gallant companions who are about to uphold their country's cause in the Baltic. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of her Majesty's Ministers" in an eulogistic speech, in the course of which lie said—But of this I feel sure, that when the die has been cast, and the sword once drawn, there will be neither hesitation in the Government nor abatement in the desire of the people of this country to carry the war on in the most determined manner, is order that we may have a speedy return of peace. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with the greatest cordiality. The Earl of ABERDEEN rose and said—My Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, in responding on the part of her Majesty's Government to the toast which has just been so kindly drunk, I have to express our acknowledg ment of the honour you have conferred upon us, and of the splendid hospitality which has been extended to us this evening. (Hear, hear.) My lord, it is in moments of national difficulty and anxiety like this that the sup port and goodwill of our fellow -countrymen become doubly valuable ; and at a time like the present you may easily believe that those sentiments are fully ap preciated by her Majesty's Ministers. My lord, in this hall, about a year ago, I declared that the policy of her Majesty's Government was a policy of peace. (Hear, hear, hear.) I repeated that declaration else where, and, indeed, on all other occasions. If our hope of maintaining peace has, however, been disappointed, I can say that it has not been disappointed from the want of any endeavour on our part to realise that policy. (Loud cheers.) Indeed, I believe that if this had not been the case—if the truth and sincerity of those decla rations had not been admitted—we should not have received that general assent and support throughout the country which it has been our good fortune to meet with. (Cheers.) I will not think it inconsistent if, even at this crisis, I repeat that declaration ; for, although it is too true that very shortly we may have to seek peace by other means than those which we have hitherto employed, still peace is our main object. (Loud cheers.) And, my Lord Mayor, it is, in pursuing this object, a great satisfaction to her Majesty's Ministers to be acting in concert with an ally from whom we have from the first experienced the utmost cordiality, truth, and loyalty. (Loud cheers.) I remember that my distingui shed (the expressing the am .hopet. ssa friend whom dor) joined peace; and I have no doubt th a t with n o m w e l e a e s t n y e a e r a r m i e n w of e preservingshall still pursue that object together, and by the same means. And although war may be carried on with vigour and energy, yet I think we must entertain a firm resolution to terminate that war as speedily as possible, consistent with national honour. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next gave "The health of the Fo reign Ministers," coupling with that toast the name of his Excellency Count Walewski, the ambassador of France. The toast was drank amidst loud applause. Count WALEWSKI then returned thanks in Prench. The following is a translation of this speech :—.MT Lord mayor, ladies, and gentlemen,---I thank you for the compliment you have just paid to the diplomatic carps. The presence here of the representatives of almo: it all the powers of Europe who have hastened to accept the invitation of the first magistrate of the Cit 7 of London, affords a striking testimony of the disposi tion with which the whole world is ready to meet the contest in which we are about to be engag e d. Last year I congratulated you in this same hall, with my right honourable friend the First Lord of the Treasury now present, on the maintenance of peace, W. desired, we hoped, we made the most sincere efforts that it might be maintained. (Cheers.) Unhappily all our efforts have been fruitless. But let me be permitted t o repeat here words which have found a great echo--the memorable words of my Sovereign the Emperor Napo. leon—" The age of conquest is past without return." (Cheers.) A war undertaken to defend the right, t o support the weak against the strong, and to maintain treaties, cannot, and ought not, to disquiet any one. The most fervent friends of peace ought themselves to look without fear upon such a war, for it can only have the effect of strengthening for the future the basis upon which rests the peace of the world. The intimate union which so happily prevails, not only between the two Go vernments of France and England, but between the two navies, and which, I am convinced, will equa lly pre vail between the two armies —(much cheering)—that union, which becomes more and more consolidated every day, is the surest guarantee which can be offered against the return of those lamentable events whic h " un happily marked the commencem e nt of this century. That union, which ex t ends, which manifests itself from one extremity of the world to the other, and the cor diality and the intimacy of which have not, I believe, any precedent in history —will gloriously inaugurate . the new era on w hi c h we are entering, an d w hi c h hag been so strongly characterised by the Sovereign whom I have the honour to represent. (Loud applause.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The Health of the House of Commons." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQ UER re p lied. the proceedings Several o th er toas t s followed, and terminated. DEAT H OF COLONEL GORDON, R.A.—Since the in quest which was held on the body of Colonel Charles Edward Gordon, who wa s found dead in a railway car riage whilst on his way to Aberdeen from this plac e , where he had been on a visit to his brother, Sir James A. Gordon, governor of the hospital, some information has been received which induced Mr. C. J. Carttar, the coro ner for West Kent, to issue his warrant for its disentomb. ment. A post mortent examination has been made this day (Friday) by Sir J. Liddell and Dr. Nisbett, the phy. sicians of Greenwioh Hospital, who discovered that death had been caused by injuries said to be inflicted by some intoxicated or insane person in the railway carriage. The body will be sent back to Crewe to re-open the inquest, at which originally a verdict of " died from natural causes " was returned. The body will be removed from the hospl. tal mausoleum this night (Friday).—Kentisli, Mercury. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—We have presented petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons, praying for an immediate examina tion, not only of the hay returned to us by the Victual ling-office, but of the whole of that which we had pressed for the Government, to the extent of about 4,000 bales, and which is now in our possession ; and we have like wise prayed that the men, about 20 in number, who were employed by us to press the hay shall be at once examined. This investigation, we submit, is due to public justice equally with ourselv es , an d we d o not shrink from the inquiry, but have th e most perfect assurance it will satisfactorily establish the fact that neither water nor filth nor any rubbish will be found in a single bale. We did not deliver more than 27 tons, nor offer more than 60 tons, but within three days of the first delivery, on finding that the unprecedented bad season of 1853 would render any one pressing hay liable to doubt and suspicion, we did voluntarily forego our anticipated ad vantage and declined to deliver more unless the Govern ment board would appoint an officer to inspect and su perintend the pressing of the hay before it left our pre mises ; to this effect we wrote to theVictualling Depart ment on the 25th and 27th Feb., and we acted upon it. On the Ist of March we had notice to take back the hay we had supplied, and on the 14th of March we had another notice from the Victualling Department, stating that the Board of Ordnance had been requested to ap point the inspector we suggested, and you may imagine our astonishment afterwards on hearing the dreadful and ruinous ex parte statements made which have been advanced against us. Yet the truth will ultimately prevail, and, as we have had the honour of supplying the Government with hay for nearly 20 years without a single previous complaint, we must be content to bear our unparalleled painful position until the present reproach be removed—as we know it soon must be.—We are, sir, your most humble servants, STURGEON and SONS. Gray's-hall, Essex, March 25. CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST.—A donation of 2501. was, at the meeting of the Court of Common Council, last week, voted out of the funds of the corporation, towards the expenses of erect ing this hospital, now just completed, at the Victoria park. This excellent institution, although so recently established, has been the means of relieving a vast amount of suffering ; more than 4,000 persons affected with the various diseases of the lungs and heart, so pre valent in this country , having received the benefit of the charity at the out-patient's branch in Liverpool street, Finsb ury. PHOTOGRAPHY AND WAR.—It is remarkable to watch the development of any new art, and to notice into what unexpected channels it takes its course. Photogra phy presents us with two very striking examples. At first it appeared as a philosophic toy, progressing from day to day, till at length it has become an instrument in the hands of the many, lending its aid to the every day purposes of art and civilisation. Hitherto its uses have been those of peace, now it appears likely to aid the ope rations of the warrior. It is understood that the Govern ment are about to attach photographers to the expeditions proceeding to the seat of war, both naval and military. Its importance in these respects is obvious ; and when once the authorities have tested its practical value, the results will assuredly exceed all that they expect. It ! is needless to point out the various practical purposes for which, in a military point of view, it may 1 , be made available. A despatch, illustrated with photographic views, cannot fail to convey far more accurate notions to the mind than a mere written document, however voluminous and graphic its descrip tion may be. Headlands, lines of coasts, forts, fort resses, dispositions of fleets, armies, face of country ' and military positio n s, may be instanta neous l y taken, and, if stereoscopically, with a model-lik e accuracy ' which would defy a verbal description to emu late. The rapid, instantaneous collodion process is the one peculiarly adapted for this service, and gun-cotton, though its explosive qualiti es h ave not been found so valuable as originally considered, will now, dia -1 solved in ether, in the form of collodion, still hold an important position in aiding military and naval warfare. It is hoped that the Photographic Society, with whom the Ordnance-office are in communication, will find out parties competent to undertake the duty for the Govern ment.—Journal of the Society of Arts. /77 C-( St. , for Lits ; ,vou iosa, ulia, port a the pool, eoted . .11 OM- 5 !ona liris •east bse p in a is- rig ), aro.
