Sweir On Monday a special court was held in consequence of * a requisition numerously sig ned, for the p ur p ose of con- Scotch' sidering what steps shou ld be taken b y the court in re- for bi ference to the office of President of Christ's Hospital, _ now vacant. The LORD MAYOR assured the court that he was no party to the requisition, but that, on the contrary, he had declined to give any opinion as to the propriety of summoning the members upon the occasion. He hoped, however, as he was a candidate for the office, that they would allow him to make a few observations on4he sub ject of the approaching election for the office. (Hear, hear.) He considered that if he hesitated to stand for the presidency of the hospital, he would cast a reflection upon himself as Lord Mayor. He had consulted the City Solicitor and the Town Clerk, and he had asked the opinion of several grave and experienced men, all of whom concurred in believing that he had no alternative. (Hear, hear.) His lordship then proceeded to quote from the records of the corporation from the commence rs snt of the institution to the death of Alderman Thomp son, the unbroken chain of instances in which the office had been held by members of the Court of Aldermen, and declared that upon public grounds alone, and in de fence of the rights and privileges of the corporation, he had determined in the most vigorous manner to resist the attempt at interference. (Cheers.) Deputy BOWER rose to move " that the office of 'pre sident of Christ's Hospital having for a great many years been uniformly filled by a member of the Court of Alder men, this court is of opinion that no reason exists for a departure from that precedent, and that the appoint ment of any other person, however exalted, to that honourable office, would be an infringement of the an cient privileges of this corporation, and prejudicial to the independence and interests of the citizens of Lon don." FHe thought the court was bound to make a show of o pposition, when such an attempt was made to take from the citizens of London a privilege which had existed for so many years. How it was, he would ask, that commercial men who had hitherto so admirably headed the institution, were to be interrupted as to their right of succession to the office Why had those who con ducted the antagonistic movement looked for a candidate elsewhere ? (Hear, bear.) Because they were anxious to monopolise the power of the president themselves, and knew that their candidate would not prevent their exer cise of that authority. But he thought that if the Duke of Cambridge saw, by a fair statement of the claims of the corporation, that his Royal Highness was made the instrument of an unfair invasion of their privileges, he would withdraw from so unseemly an exhibition. (Hear, hear.) Deputy LOTT seconded the motion. He agreed with the mover that the almoners, in conjunction with the treasurer, wer e seeking to have everything in their own way, and the election of the Duke of Cambridge would, he had no reason to doubt, effect that object by throw ing the duties of the office into their hands A glance at the list of the names of the committee of his royal high ness was a sufficient test of the motives by which it was -ought to influence the election. The governors who were governors by privilege were in fact mere ciphers in the Christ Hospital transactions. The donation gover nors exercised all the power. He did not consider the present a personal movement at all. (Hear, hear.) It was the commencement of a series of innovations, and he hoped it would be met by a resistance proportioned to the force of the mischievous object of the enemies of the corporation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ABRAHAM rose in no unfriendly spirit to move an amendment. He concurred in the opinions expressed by the mover and seconder, but the resolution in his opinion contained controversial matter which it might not be ju dicious to adopt under the circumstances. lie could not subscribe to the doctrine that the election of the Duke of Cambridge would be subversive of the ancient pri vileges of the corporation. The corporation could claim no exclusive privilege in an election of the (Hear, hear.) He would be sorry to see any person except the Lord Mayor in the chair at Christ's Hospital, but ho believed the best thing the court ctould do would be to engage in an immediate and active canvass for his lordship, and under that impres sion he proposed as an amendment, " That this court sees no r.s.ason for a departure from the long existing custom of appointing a member of the Court of Alder men to the presidential chair of Christ's Hospital, and pledges itself to assist the Lord Mayor in obtaining that office." Deputy CORTi EY thought the question ought to be re ferred to the consideration of the Court of Aldermen, who were well a-ble to judge whether their privileges were invaded by the act of bringing forward the Duke of Cambridge. Alderman SALOStONS said the court ought to give utterance to their opinion of what they had reason to consider to be an innovation upon their privileges. He was against any wanton or unnecessar as y change, and he spoke as a donation governor as well a governor by corporate privilege. Mr. W. JONES approved of the amendment, as a mode of avoiding personal matter and satisfactorily accom plishing the object the court had at heart. Deputy DAKIN and other members strongly supported the original motion, and Mr. ABRAHAM withdrew his amendment. The previous question was then put, as w as the amendment, but was soon after withdrawn, th e court having shown convincing proofs of their a pproval of t the e motion of Deputy Bower—which, upo n bein g pby Town Clerk, was unanimously and amidst acclamations agreed to. The court then adjourned. 8,000 , 100,000 „ 200,000 „ 2d. ~ 3d. ~ barley troth 1 10,000 „ 114 s. 6(1. per cwt. lid. ” The regulations under which the different articles are to be delivered in bulk by the Commissariat to each regiment and then distributed in detail will probably be left to Lord Raglan to determine, and his lordship will, no doubt, fix a limit to the quantity allowed to officers and men, in order that tie boon thus conferred may not be converted to other pufposes than the soldier's benefit. The importance of this precaution is pointed out in the Treasury minute, it being very naturally presumed that in the article of beer especially the predilections of our troops are likely to undergo no change from service in the East. The foregoing arrangement must give great satisfaction not only to those gallant fellows who will be directly benefited thereby, but also to their country men at home who will have all the more confidence in the triumph of our arms when they know that the " pluck " of our soldiers is sustained by a liberal Com missariat. Should the plan succeed with the expe ditionary force, as is expected, it will probably be ex tended to the troops ordinarily serving abroad ; but, as our policy is now to let our colonies not only govern but defend themselves, the diminished number of soldiers required for foreign service will enable us, without any serious loss to the revenue, to make suitable provision for their comfort. It is to the honour of the East India Company that they set the example in this respect, but the Treasury are entitled to commendation for this additional proof of their attention to the wants of the soldier, __ . ,__:. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 21. Capt. Austin, R.N., the Admiralty Superintendent of Packets at this port, has received instructions to survey the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Colombo, of 1,800 tons and 450-horse power, and report upon her capacity for the conveyance of troops. The Colombo is being coaled and prepared for sea, and may be made available for the transport service at two or three days' notice. In the event of her being chartered by the Government, the Sultan would be despatched with the India and China mails of the 4th of April, which are at present arranged to be taken out by the Colombo. It is expected that the 38th regiment will embark from this port in a faw days for the East by the Royal mail steamer Magdalena, which has been held at the disposal of the Government for the last fortnight. PORTSMOUTH, MAuca The St. Vincent, 102, Captain Scott, is progressing fast with her rigging. She has main and mizen topmasts up and fidded, and foretopmast slung ready for hoisting on board. The Caesar, 91 (screw), Captain Robb, is swinging at Spithead for the adjustment of her compasses. A survey has been held to-day upon the state of the Penelope, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain Lyster, with the view of snaking her available for further immediate ser vice in this emergency. The Gladiator, 6, paddle-frigate, has been brought to the steam factory jetty to-day to receive her new shaft. She is to be ready for commission by the 3d proximo. The Resistance, 42, troop-ship, Master Commander Bradshaw, hauled out of dock to the fitting-basin this afternoon to complete for sea. The Cuckoo, steam-vessel, arrived this morning from the eastward, with seamen and supernumeraries for the fleet. Some blasting experiments connected with naval ope rations were exhibited to-day at itat Island, in this harbour, in the presence of Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cockrane, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., of the Excellent, Captain Savage, R.M.A., Instructor in Fortification at the Royal Naval College, and other scientific officers. We abstain from minutely describing the object from pru dential motives. The Gorgon, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, Commander Cumming, completed the adjustment of her compasses to-day, and will bend sails to-morrow, preparatory to dropping out to Spithead, where the St. George, 121, Cmsar, 91, Prince Regent, 90, and Desperate, 8, re main at anchor. The 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Chester, paraded this morning, at 10 o'clock, in the Governor's field, within Portsmouth Garrison, in heavy marching order. Major - General Simpson went through the ranks and inspected the arms, accoutrements, and kits of the men. This regiment is in the highest state of efficiency, and eager for active ser vice. It is expected to embark shortly for Turkey. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 21. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship James Watt, 91, Captain George Elliot, will go out of harbour on Satur day. Her crew will probably be paid wages the same day, and she will sail on Sunday for the eastward. The hospital ship Belleisle, 24, Commander James Hosken, was yesterday moved from the sheer-hulk to the jetty, to be rigged by seamen riggers. The crew of the steam-vessel Conflict bent sails yes terday. She will go out of harbour to-day. Wind, easterly, blowing strong. - - COMPARATIVE REWARDS OF MR. COBDEN AND COLONEL THOMPSON. While freely acknovrledging the great and import.. services rendered by Mr. Richard Cobden —now of Rus. sian alliance notoriety—to the Anti-Corn-Law League, w e cannot forget that the vete ran reformer, Colonel Per ronet Thompson, was really and truly the prime mover, the prompter, and master-spirit of that movement. Colonel Thompson was a staunch repealer before Mr. Cobden commenced the agitation. He embodied His e spirit of the League b efore the Lea g ue existed. Anti-Corn-Law catechism, tracts, and other publications , furnished the arguments from which Mr. Cobden and others drew their irresistible appeals to the reason and common-sense of the country. Colonel Thompson was a platform speaker also. He took an active and public share in the movement, and was everywhere one of the most popular advocates of the cause. But, though pos sessing the principal merit, he left to Mr. Cobden the lion's share of the glory. Posterity will do Colonel Thompson justice ; but has he received justice at the hands of the pre sent generation ? So far is this from being the case, that we find Mr. Cobden at this moment in posses sion of an ample fortune, as the acknowledged re ward of his anti-corn-law labours, while, on the other band, the veteran Colonel Thompson has not only never been rewarded, but has been subjected to a species of persecution on account of the active and im portant part which he took in the same and similar move ments. His name has been omitted in the promotions, and he has been expressly declared disqualified from ne ap l - pearing "in any future brevet. " The gallant colo has in vain applied for restoration. No moral offence — no dishonourable conduct—no seditious practices are laid to his charge. He never followed the Chartist banner of any agitating demagogue. Yet, as the reward of his public services, instead of receiving a public donation of sixty or seventy thousand pounds, he has been degraded from the army list, and declared dis qualified from appearing in any future brevet. Of course the real mottves are not assigned. His disqualification is attributed to some disputed matter of form. Yet there can be no mistake in the case. The motives that ani mate the authorities in the Horse Guards are too appa rent. An indignant protest which the Colonel has recently published, concludes thus— " Not to leave any thin g uncertain, I wind up with say ii ig that my claim is for restoration to my place in the A rmy List, from which I conceive I have been unjustly IT moved in revenge for my public conduct on the Corn L. sws and the Queen's succession." And again, in anoth er letter, showing "H ow public se, , :vices are rewarded " " There is something very disa g reeable in being s upposed to &al in hints and insinuations. I therefore state distinctly miy belief, that I have been deg raded by orted the military authori- ties on false pretences, in v en g eance for having supp in. Parliament the cause of Reform and Legitimate Succes s' ion to the Throne, the only pre ventive for which in future will be to bring the Governm ent of the Army under a con stitutional minister, removable as o ther mini.sterits, in c the lud ing the governors of the Na v y , are, by majories o House of Commons." The nation ought to take up this matter. It is a dis grace to the country that Colonel Perronet Thompson should suffer persecution and injustice for fighting the battles of the people, while Richard Cobden, his disciple and copyist, and who has done nothing but blunder in everything lie undertook himself, should not only pilfer the glory but run away with the prize.—Seeta Referiner's ORICtf. .- • , - - 1',,,.. i 11 118 C. -->:-.)7. k" --}. , ./ e .,..,2. ........../.. , • . ~. -- • „ f . . .. z• . --------__ ----- -- -,...__•_e 7 ~ , • . . , ._-/- - 1 -- - e- - • • •-_-• /, . . . , .. .. . :...., , 1 1 11 / I .6" t k, - ....... „ t 0rt , 4 1.. ox,, .770.'14.1cr;,;,, it -.1',Lf5,.11 -:,..' -'.s r 4 .:' * ' glite pat . , ... ii i i... ...„ . . 41, / •e , o( AS WP :'‘, .

Dr. Power, 'member ft it, :ounty, soon after got an appointment undse:the Gsa iment, and a new election took place for Cork and. Vincent Scully because a candidate. Mr. Keogh' , !present at that election, and stated, among other things, that "So help him eod! no matter what the Ministry might be that should be in office, he should. oppose them until they had consented to grant the de mands of universal Ireland." That he put in as contain ing an oath on the part of Mr. Keogh. In reply to Mr. Keogh, Mr, Lucas stated that, to the best of his recollection, he cut those extracts out of the Nation, a Dublin paper, which, he believed, had copied them from the Cork Examiner. He had not referred to the Cork Examiner to see if they were correctly' quoted, but he had referred to a g entleman who had been pre sent, and he assured him the words were used ,by Mr. Keogh. Mr. Lucas then read an extract from - another speech made by Mr. Keogh, in which be stated that he would oppose every Government which should not grant Mr. Sharman Crawford's Landlord and Tenant Bill. He (Mr. Lucas) charged that, Mr. Keogh:: accolitance of office was a violation of those promises and pledges. Mr. G. E. H. Vernon—Do you know that, during all Mr. Keogh's political career, he was connected with the party which s are now in power Mr. Lucas—No, I did not. It was understood that Mr. Keogh wished to be attached to an independent party. Mr. Vernon—Was there not a vote of thanks passed at a meeting of the Defence Association to Lord Aber deen, the Duke of Newcastle, Mr. Sidney Iferhert, Sir J. Graham, and others, in which Mr. Keogh joined Mr. Lucas—Yes, and in that vote I most heartily joined, because I considered that the individuals named had done us great service by their conduct on the Ecele siastieal Titles Bill. Mr. Vernon—l do not wish to go into any party question, but I ask you was there anything inconsistent in Mr. Keogh taking o ffi ce under ouch men Mr. Lucas repeatd that he thought Mr. Keogh was not justified. In reply to Mr. Keogh, Mr. Lucas said it was the fact that the paper which he conducted (the Tablet), and several other Irish papers, opposed his election ; and, as far as they had the opportunity, they did all they could to prevent his being elected. N otwithstandin g this he was returned by ' a very large majority over his oppo nent. In reply to questions, by Mr. Butt and other hon. members of the coniunttee, Mr. Lucas said that the letter which. he had produced on a former day from Mr. O'Flaherty to Mr. Swift, M.P., soliciting subscriptioue towards Mr. Keogh's election expenses, and in which it was stated that among the subscribers was Mr. Sidney Herbert as a subscriber of 1001 he had got from Mr. •Swift himself, and that it was l o oked upon - by Mr- Swift as by no means a confidential communic ation, as Mr. Swift was but very slightly acquainted w.lith Mr. O'Fla herty, and did not seek the communic atioa--it -was thrust upon him. In reply to Mr. Bright, he said he did not bring any charge whatever against Mr. Sidney g ar b e d ; but he considered that his subscribing to Mr. Keogh's election expenses was a proof of Mr. Keogh's intention not to carry out his promises. How far Mr. Sidney -Herbert was aware of Mr. Keogh's oaths and promisms, lie (Mr. Lucas) could not of course say. By JYlx.Vernon—lie did not consider thatth conduct of the present Peelite party, towards the Roma a Catho lic Church in Ireland, was such as would just tify Mr. Keogh, or other Irish members, taking office in tder or supporting the government. Mr. Lucas then referred to and read some adv ertise ments from the Times offering doticeurs for Goveri iment situations. He knew 'nothing personally of tikooe ad vertisements; but he regarded them as collateral proof of situations being procured by members of 1)=11a:1:tent. for pecuniary considerations. Mr. IV. Ford, town clerk of Dublin, and a solicitor, was next examined. He said he was acquainted with the late Mr. Sheil for 35 years. He heard a converssv tion with reference to Irish membeta at which Mr.' Shen was present. That conversation had been partly detailed by Mr. Lucas on a previous day, to the effect that Lord J. Russell had made a great blunder, and could never again get the support of a Rosman Catholic, and that Mr. Shell replied, " Pooh ! M--(naming a Treasury official) holds the Irish members in the hollow of his hands." The witness now entered into several details of the conversation alluded to, and he said that he believed it was himself, and not Mr. ' Shell, who made use of the phrase in question, and that Mr. Shell assented to it ; and he (the witness)' said that he supposed the Government imagined " they hail the Irish members like g reyhounds in the leash?' Witness said that Lord John Russell must have been made to write the Durham letter, and Mr. Shell said lie had been in conversation with Lord John Russell a day or two before, and on Mr. Shell saying to Lord John Russell that that letter would give the priests all the power at the next election, and in reply to that Lord John Russell remarked that he had always found that the Irish members voted with the government, even though they were returned by the priests. By Mr. Butt—When he made use of the phrase as to 'lrish members being " heldilike greyhounds in the leash," he had no particu lar member in his mind. That con versation between Lord J. Russell and Mr. Shell re ferred to the then recent alterations in the Irish fran chise, and pot to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which did not come on till afterwards.

HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON. :or the' 'WOOLWICH, MARCH 21. The Lightning steam-vessel, Captain Sulivan, left this morning, at five o'cldck for Sheerness, preparatory toher proceeding to the Baltic. She is to be employed in lay ing down buoys where the navigation is difficult, and will be assisted in that service by the Alban, commis sioned at this port by Captain Otter. The Lightning had 12 buoys put on board at Woolwich. Her duties will be of no ordinary kind, as it is understood that the. Emperor of Russia has ordered all the buoys serving as guides to safe navigation in the Baltic to be removed previous to the arrival ob the British fleet. The Light ning and the Alban are preparing to lay down about 350 buoys, which will be taken out a few in each of the ships of war and war steamers proceeding to the Baltic. The Archer, 14, screw steam-corvette, Captain Heath cote, remains in the harbour here ready to join the Bal tic fleet, and is expe c t e d t o leave Woolwich for her des tinationin the course of the week. The Hope, hired steam-transport, left Woolwich yes terday afternoon, with the officers of the Commissariat and a large quantity of commissariat stores on board, for Malta. The Melbourne, hired steam-transport, is having coals put on board from the coal depot off Woolwich Dock yard. The John Masterman, No. 9, horse-transport, was brought down from Deptford to Woolwich on Saturday, and is now in the basin ready for embarking horses pro ceeding with the next detachment of the Royal Artil lery for service in the East. The Allipore, No. 8, horse-transport, was towed down the river yesterday from Deptford to Woolwich by the Rhadamanthus paddle-wheel steam-storeship, Master- Commander Belarn, and has also been taken into the basin. The Palmerston, No. 7, horse-transport, was towed down from Deptford to Woolwich in the afternoon, but too late to be taken into the basin on the same day. It is expected the Melbourne will embark the reserve battery of Artillery, under the command of Captain Barker, as that battery takes out no horses. ROYAL ARSENAL. The whole of the workmen belonging to the royal car riage department worked from seven o'clock a.m.to seven o'clock p.m. on Sunday last. Nearly 1,000 men are employed in that department in the construction of field, garrison, and ship gun-carriages. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Captain Mande's troop of Royal Horse Artillery ar rived at Woolwich to-day, their arrival being accelerated by an order transmitted to them, while on the march, to take the railway from Stafford to London. C a ptain Cleaveland's field battery, Bth company of the 12th battalion, has received orders to join head quarters at Woolwich, from Ireland, with the least pos. Bible delay. Captain Harrison's company, 6th battalion, has been placed under orders to proceed to Dublin on Tuesday, the 28th inst., to relieve Captain Graydon's company, Ist battalion. Captain Graydon's company, on being re lieved, will proceed to Portsmouth, to relieve Captain Bingham 's company, 12th battalion, the latter being under orders to return to head-quarters. DUBLIN, MARcil 21. The 21st North British Fusiliers (Lieutenant -Colonel Lord West commanding) was inspected yesterday at Richmond Barracks by Major-General Cochrane, pre paratory to its embarkation for Malta. The resultf the inspection was most satisfactory. and the high disci pline and fine appearance of the troops elicited warm commendation from the General. The 63d infantry re giment will he paraded for inspection this morning in the Palatine oquare of the Royal Barracks. A large (A.onl, the Morning Chronicle.) I The war might be short and decisive if all the great Powers were prepared to do their duty, and the with drawal of Prussia from the common cause still leaves an irresistible preponderance of force on the side of the Allies, if they can count on the assistance of Austria. But the sinister rumour of a declaration of neutrality to be adopted by the German Federation, indicates the possibility that England and France may have to bear the whole burden of the struggle ; and it is well that they are neither unprepared nor unequal to the task. The Cabinet of Berlin still affects to abide by the Protocols of Vienna, but that scaffolding of a building which was never, completed has itself long since been demolished. Three months ago, it was considered an important fact that the four great Powers were unanimous in their judgment as to the conditions on which a reasonable peace might be negotiated ; but there is no longer any question of negotiation or of peace, whilst the highest in terests of Europe demand that the disturber of the world shall be compelled to abandon his pretensions. The re presentatives of Austria and Prussia at Vienna shared in the summary rejection of the last counter-project proposed by Russia ; and when one of the members of the confe rence takes its stand on the ci•devant protocol,, it is not easy to repress a feeling of contempt for the affectation which refuses to recognise the change of circumstances. A ,few weeks back, Prussia approved of the terms offered by England and France on the part of Turkey. As the Emperor Nicholas, however, has refused to consider those proposals, neither the Porte nor her allies any longer tender them ; and it is an impertinence for an unin vited mediator to pronounce a judgment on a different issue from that which the belligerents themselves have selected. At present, no preliminaries of peace are under consideration ; and when, at some future period, negotiations are recommenced, they will be influenced by the fortune of war, by the actual state of affairs, and by the interests of those who, having shared in the struggle will have established a right to share the solu tion. The last consideration which will enter into the councils of the belligerents will be deference fo: the wishes or opinions of timid Governments, who were neither for nor against the cause of right— " -- Ma per se foro." When the Cabinet of Berlin announced the intention of maintaining the rank of a Great Power without incurring the corresponding risks and sacrifices, the singular revelations of the Secret Correspondence bad not yet transpired. But the intelligent people of Germany, long indignant at their political dependence on a foreign and detested Power, will now find, with in dignation, that, in re-arranging the map of Europe, the consent of Prussia was contemptuously disregarded by the Czar. While England was courted—while France was regarded as an enemy—and while Austria was de scribed, with patronising confidence, as an inseparable friend—not a single allusion was made to the wishes or interests of Prussia. At present, it must be admitted that events have justified the appreciation which the Emperor Nicholas had formed of his kinsman and ally ; but it seems scarcely possible that even the loyal and temperate representatives of the Prus sian nation will consent, without further assur ances than they have yet received, to supply the means for equipping an army, which will be use less, unless it be treaeherously employed. The neu trality of Germany, so long as it is strictly observed, can require no protection. Russia, for hor own sake, will not violate it ; nor can the Allies be suspected of meditating a wanton and futile aggression. A tax levied on the Prussian people for the purpose of garri soning the kingdom of Poland, would cause a dangerous discontent ; nor will the Western Powers tolerate any movement which may tend to render a larger portion of the enemy's army available at the theatre of war. The overtures made by Russia to England for the partition of the Ottoman Empire will also de serve attention at Vienna. The official assurances which the Austrian Government has repeatedly vo lunteered, of its implicit confidence in the promises of moderation contained in the Russian manifestoes, were never to be understood in their literal sense ; and it has now become impossible even to pretend to believe in the sincerity of those hackneyed pledges. The Em peror Nicholas himself, with all his indifference to diplo matic veracity, expressly limited his promises of non interference to the duration of the then existing peace. A war, as he frequently told Sir Hamilton Seymour, would cause the immediate dissolution of the patient ; and the question would then no longer turn on the means of preserving his life, but on the disposal of his inheritance. The case in which Russia avowedly in tended to seize Constantinople as a deposit has now occurred in the sight of all Europe ; and no statesman can even affect to think that a fresh manufacture of Vienna Notes would meet the present crisis. The con flict of right with hypocrisy is at an end—force is about to be met by force. In the impending struggle, Prussia may possibly stand aloof, though it will be at the cost of her leadership in Germany, and of her consideration in Europe. For Austria, however, the conquest of Turkey by Russia would be fraught with the most formidable and imminent danger ; and it daily becomes more evident that she has no alternative except complicity or resistance. Unless she can hope to extend her dominion to the Balkans, the expulsion of the Russian invader from the Lower Danube will be absolutely necessary to her own security and in dependence. There can be no doubt that the Govern ment of Vienna would infinitely prefer the existing territorial arrangements to any dangerous project of aggrandisement ; yet the Russian Emperor asserted that his Imperial ally was perfectly identified with himself in policy. If, indeed, Turkey alone were in the field, it is possible that Austria might acquiesce in the proposed encroachments of Russia ; but the Em peror Nicholas can scarcely expect her concurrence in a partition which is forbidden by England and France. She cannot fail to anticipate the success of the Turkish armies, when aided by their powerful allies ; and there can be no doubt that any blow inflicted on Russia would be as welcome at Vienna as at London or Paris. Yet it is an unworthy position for the Power most immedi ately interested in the struggle to leave the protection of its frontiers to the arms of strangers ; and, in the present case, neutrality is as dangerous as it is un dignified. The more nearly the forces of the belligerents are matched, the longer will be the struggle. it is cer tain that England and France will persevere until they have accomplished their purpose ; but several campaigns may possibly be required before the enemy is finally humbled. In the meantime, the Austrian Cabinet, with the power of deciding the, conflict in its hands, would be incurring the obvious risks attendant on a war in its immediate neighbourhood. The Western Powers would discountenance any insurrection against an ally, but they will assuredly leave a neutral Govern ment to protect itself. For the last year, every enemy of Austria, domestic or foreign, has been anxiously hoping that she would blindly throw herself into the arms of Russia ; and half the prayer would be granted, if England and France were left to fight the battle of European independence without any aid from Germany.

Selection, "La Figlia du Regiment" .. Donizetti. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of the Glocester re ceived visits yesterday front the Queen, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary. Her Royal Highness the Dnchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard and Lord James Murray, honoured the Princess's Theatre with her presence last Yesterday evening this national, patriotic, and con vivial society held its annual festival at the Freemasons' Tavern, to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Alexandria, where the heroism of the Highland troops was so conspicuously and memorably displayed. The society, which was instituted so long ago as the year 1778, has since that period directed its efforts to the pre servation of the martial spirit, language, dress, inusie, and antiquities of the Celt—to the relief of diAressed Highlanders at a distance from home—and to the general improvement of that part of the kingdout. 1 n following out these objects, it has not only succeeded in, redeeming from oblivion the poems of Ossian and other valuable remains of Celtic literature. but it has conferred incalculable benefits on the inhabitants of the north, in communicating to them, by the institution of Gaelic schools, the blessings of education. From it have proceeded many well-timed acts of liberality, which have exercised the very best influence upon a land where the presence of the romantic in scenery does not shut out the realities of poverty and distress. That excellent in stitution, the Caledonian Asylum, owes its origin to the generous benevolence, and its efficient maintenance to the support and countenance, of the society. It has been the parent, too, of many kindred associations, for promoting the social amelioration of the Highlands ; and in the principal dependencies of the empire branch so cieties from it are in existence, which not only afford all true Celts when abroad a rallying point round which they may gather, but secure to them also the means of preserving those associations and cherished remem brances of home which are the sources not only of do mestic virtue, but of genuine patr iotism. li upwardst a O r ny the x sn i o f o f rm l present ooa nd gentlemen,oicicigashi i o a n n d ehioersretaulwmoa costume. . l a vh,r ‘ o ‘ hm g e at gw l a i e ei lrl • ec i l i . i iy g n ' ‘ ' mv o ai f s_ filled with elegantly and well-dressed ladies. • The Duke of Hamilton and Brandon occupied the chair, and time having made sad havock amongst the veterans who have survived the battle of Alexandria, there were only Sir John M. Doyle, K.C.8., Major- General Sir John M. Wilson, and Captain Jay, present of those now alive who were in that great en gagement. Amongst the company were Lieut.-General Delamotte ; the Turkish Consul-General • Sir Charles Forbes, Bart. ; Sir John N. R. Campbell, K.C.H. ; Sir Wm. D. Ross; Colonel Fitzgibbon ; Norman Macdo nald, Esq. ; J. F. Campbell, Esq., younger of Isla ; Captain A. Macdonald ; Alex. G. Mackenzie, Esq. ; F. W. Caldwell, Esq. ; Alderman Finnis ; Charles Suther land ; Dr. Stewart Chisholm, R.A. ; G. Bain, Esq., the honorary secretary of the society ; and several officers of the 17th Lancers. The loyal toasts having been proposed and responded to with due honour, and the health of Prince Albert, the chief of the Highland Society, having been drunk with the warmest expressions of approval, Tho CHAIRMAN gave "The memory of Sir Ralph Aber crombie, and the heroes who fell with him in Egypt." In proposing this toast his grace observed that , incom petent as he felt to do justice to the subject, he could not but rejoice in having an opportunity in calling attention to it. Although many years had elapsed since the memorable action which they were met to celebrate, many of its heroes were still living, and amongst them was a gentleman who sat near him that evening. Great as was the loss sustained, the day was a proud one for those gallant soldiers who distinguished themselves on the occasion. He believed lie might particularly allude to the 92d, the 42d, and the 79th regiments, whose proud deeds did honour to the country to which they belonged. It would not be proper in him to expa tiate at this moment upon this interesting subject, as it was a singular circumstance that our enemies on the 0CC3.81011 referred to were now our friends and allies. They were prepared to embark in war, and he felt assured that the descendants of those heroes whose deeds they were now met to celebrate would always prove good to their scions. He felt the difficulty of speaking upon this theme, and therefore lie would not presume to detain the company, but would at once call upon them to drink, in solemn silence, the toast he proposed. Sir J. M. DOYLE, an officer who was present v.ith Sir Ralph Abercrombie, acknowledged the compliment. Other toasts, including the Army and Navy, fol lowed, and in due course Sir JOHN CAMPBELL proposed the health of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan of Turkey, observing that his Imperial Majesty was the most faith ful and ancient ally of this country. In proposing this toast, his mind naturally reverted to the ancient histdry of Turkey, and to the many changes which that country had undergone down to a recent period when its shores had been made the scene of anarchy and bloodshed ; but he was rejoiced to say that they could still corn gratulate her upon the proud position which she occu pied amongst nations. She had lately put forth re sources which it was supposed she did not possess, and as she was now at war in self-defence against the ambitious designs of an usurper, let them hope and believe that success would attend her efforts. The Sultan had in troduced many reforms into his dominions ; but, amongst all the proofs he had given of his enlig htened under standing and friendship for this country, there was none which appealed to their sympathies more forcibly than the protection and encouragement he had given to the zealous efforts of our religious societies to diffuse the blessings of the Gospel wherever they pleased. (Cheers.) The CONSUL-GENERAL of TURKEY, in returning thanks, expressed his regret that circumstances had prevented the attendance of the Turkish ambassador, who was at this moment engaged in entertaining some of the officers who were about to join the army in the East. He felt deeply the high praise which his friend Sir John Campbell had thought proper to bestow upon his imperial Majesty the Sultan ; and he could assure the company that it was a proud moment to him to have an opportuuity of expressing his feelings in presence of such an assemblyasthepresent. Every one of the Sultan's servants in this country had seen with the greatest and deepest delight the universal feeling of the British nation in the cause of justice and right ; and he hoped that the conduct of the Turkish army on the Danube had given a proof that the nation was not so degenerate as it was supposed to be—(hear, hear)—but that it was worthy of being associated with the English and French armies in the cause of justice. He hoped that the same victory and the same glory which had attended the battle they were now celebrating would also distinguish the united armies of peace which were about to be engaged on the same soil and on the same shore. (Cheers.) Amongst the other toasts which followed was " Pros perity to the Caledonian Asylum ;" and Sir Charles Forbes, in introducing it, made a forcible appeal to the benevolence of his countrymen to increase their efforts to support it. The juvenile hand of the Caledonian Asylum, and pipers, as also the pipers of the Duke of Hamilton, and of Lady Agnes Duff, were in attendance. The enter tainment was also enlivened by some excellent and ap propriate singing by Mr. Allen, and the dinner was I served in the best possible taste. TIM CHARGES OF CORRUPTION AGAINST IBISB MEMBERS. The above committee reassembled yesterday, Mr. Henley in the chair. Mr. Mowbray Morris, manager of the Times news paper, was the first witness called. Mr. Moore, M.P., called his attention to two articles which appeared in the Times of the 21st September, 1853, and 6th Feb ruary, 1854, reflecting very strongly on the Irish mem bers; and, in reply to questions by Mr. Moore, he said he was not prepared to state anything of the article of the 21st September, and as to the other he had not refreshed his memory on it. With regard to the article of the 6th February it was founded on a speech made by Dr. Gray, to which the attention of the committee had been already called. Mr. Moore—May I take the liberty of asking you on what portion of Dr. Gray's speech you found the asser tion in the article that "all the Irish members would take pay ?" Mr. Morris—l really can't recollect on what parti cular passage the article you allude to was written. Dr. Gray alluded to two cases of that sort. e justified you in stating that the wh ole of the Irish members,?st at the num bering 100 men, were g uilt y of such practices. Mr. Morris repeate d that he could not, ju moment, recollect the exact circumstances under which the article was written. Mr. Moore then said Mr. Morris had berett re er attend his t h e c ommittee another day, after he had alt his recollection by a reference to the Tinw Mr. Morris said, in any case, he should not be pre pared to disclose any of the secrets of the management of the paper. Mr. Moore—That is your opinion. It will be for the committee to decide that. It was then agreed that Mr. Morris should attend the committee another day, of which he should get notice, and he then withdrew. . Mr. Lucas was then called again ; and, after a good deal of discussion as to the mode in which be intended to show that an article in the Tablet connected Mr. Keogh with the inquiry the c ommittee was en I gaged in, The Chairman said the course they would. take was this—Mr. Lucas should state what he wished, and it it was found not relevant to the inquiry, the committee would strike it out. Mr. Lucas then entered into a statement respecting a speech made by Mr. Keogh at the Defence Association, and a speech by Mr. Keogh at Cashel, and other places, all strongly denouncing place-taking by the ' Irish members. Mr. Lucas read lengthy extracts from articles in the Tablet, bearing on the conduct the Irish members should pursue in reference to the subject of place-taking, and he now contended that what be had then foreshadowed had come to pass by Mr. Keogh himself having taken office. Ile then read extracts from a speech 'made by Mr. Keogh a t Athlone, 28th October, 1851, in which Mr. Keogh charged Mr. Lucas as being a calumniator, and in whi ch Mr. Keogh said he did not belong to the Whigs and he did not belong to the Tories, and never would ; and b e ‘i solemnly declared if there was a Peelite Government is office to-morrow, and that they were joined by the Whigs, he would not join them for any consideration, until they had made it a basis of their government to repeal the Ecclesiastical' Titles Act." That document he put in as a promise to take a particular line on Mr. ;venin; THE NEW BISHOP. The Rev. W. K. Hamilton, who has been appointed to succeed the late Bishop of Salisbury, was educated at Eton, and was afterwards one of the favourite pupils of the late Dr. Arnold. He entered at Christ Church, Oxford, took the highest honours in classics, and was chosen a fellow of Merton College, where he formed the acquaintance of the late Bishop Denison, an acqu aintance which subsequently ripened into an intimate and devoted friendship. He acted as curate to the late Bishop at St. Peter's Oxford, and on Dr. Denison's elevation to the episcopate, became his examining chaplain and Canon of Salisbury. During the fatal illness of the Bishop he was never absent from his bedside. He is said to possess considerable powers as a preacher, but is chiefly remarkable for the simplicity of his charac ter and the consistent p iet y of his life. It may safely be predicted .that he will tread worthily in the steps of his lamented friend and predecessor. The Bishopric was in the first inst'ince offered to the Rev. J. J. Blunt, Margaret Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge, and declined by him on the ground that, though still well and active, his increasing years might shortly deprive him of the means of dis charging the duties of an office the arduous nature of which wag entirely new to him. 1 Just published, in 2 vols. post Bvo., with a large coloured Map of the entire Russian Empire, price 245. cloth, TRAVELS IN SIBERIA.
