The object of this enterp ise is to take advantage of the impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise t .uties, ut der eir..umstances pecuilarly favourable, the materials b( ing obtained by a patent process in full ope ration, at prices very h ghly remunerative, as compared with the COB' of similar products in the or en market. 2. It is well known that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which amounted to £2O to £•cs per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con stantly lucre 4-Ing demand for the supply of 13Jolta, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and very remunerative business to a manufactory situated close to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plane, with the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. 3. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1862, It, is proposed to purchase at their actu cost, the under takiags of the ltttrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company. 4. 1h e works of the Ulmate or Ammonia Company were established in 1860, on t ., e Thames, at Grays, in Essex, for the purpose of working Ward's Patents for obtaining paper making materials from rags of mixed fabrics, and a valuable manure powder from the tea due. The patent process has proved, mechanically and commercially, completely success ful, and working by day only, the machinery produces 25 tons of paper-making material per we k, and about the same quantity of powder, containing about 15 per cent. of soluble nitrogen. estimated as ammonia, closely approaching in rich ness to the best qualities of Peruvian guano. 5. In 1852, a large mill for ma iufacturing into paper the fibrous products of the w .rks at Grays, in mixture with other materials, was erected on the Dartford Creek, by the well known engineering firm, Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Sons, with every recognised practical improvement in construction and ac m hinery. Driven by ste am p ower, a b undantly supplied with thi' purest water from an A r t es i an we ll , with coal and materials by water carriage, an d c h eap transport for the paper by rail to London, th e p ower an d economy of produc tion have prov(d highly advantageous as compared with mills located, the great mijority still are, on country streams, on which they are more or less dependent for mo tive power and tor water for working purposes. 8. The presei.t turn out of the Paper Mill is 16 tons or news and print ng papers per week made t) order, and the works were built so as to admit of the doub ing of the production, at an outlay very largely b e l ow th ecos t o f th e original under 7. The capital in actual cost and work;ng, funds of the Ulmate of Ammonia e.om pany, i5 L39, 0 00 0 0 TIl. cost of the Paper Mill is ....... The estimated cost of tie proposed exten sion, including increased cottage accom modation and contingencies 30,000 0 0 Add for inot ca se of Total .£II7OOD 0 working cap tat Total £135,10 0 0 R. To car r y ou t the intended purchase, to double 0 the scale of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the fullest extent the produc tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as a fund of credit, deemed highly d sirable for tue safe and profitable working of a Limited Company. 9. After providing for every ontingency, the net profits calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 36 tons of paper, and 25 to 30 tons of manure powder, perweek, will be from £2o,' 03 to £25,000 per annum, according to the condition of the mar kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent., n ith pros pects of considerable increase upon favourable developments of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the state of affairs in America, and other di turbing causes. A very large share of the capital has already been sub scribed by the present owners of the properties. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obta ned from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, or at the Offices of the Company. Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £ I per share.

Eight years ago this constitution was esta blished, but in 1858 Denmark was forced by the German D'et to withdraw the constitution, so far RS it related to Holstein and Lauenburg, and since that time these Duchies have been governed purely as adjuncts to the kingdom, and as forming part of the German Confederation. In all this the good faith of Denmark cannot be called in question, and the Germans who have broken up she unity of a small but geographically important State, by asserting their strictly legal rights, cannot com plain if Denmark is equally tenacious in retain ing what undoubtedly belongs to her. The Danes claim that Schleswig is entirely separate from Holstein, and that, es it forms no part of the Ger manic Confederation, neither the Diet nor any German State has the right to interfere with it. To retain Schleswig, which is more than half Danish, and to prevent the kingdom from being reduced to the Islands and Jutland, is the natural desire and the legal right of the Danish people. But the latest proposal of Lord Russell has been to sunder Schles wig from the kingdom, and to give to the Diets of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg the right of voting separate Budgets—in short to disintegrate the kingdom by making each part a separate State in the most important of all respects—that of finance. Lord Russell, in defence, says that as the Danish Government admits that Holstein and Lauenburg form part of the Confederation, there fore they should have separate Diets; and, conse quently, there remains only the question of Schles wig. " What I proposed,!; he says, " was that Schleswig should be united to Holstein, which the people of Schleswig have repeatedly asked, and wbich has also been demanded by a part of Ger many; that there should be an entirely separate Diet, and that the legislation and the votes of money should be kept separate." These were the modest demands which our Foreign Secretary addressed to a Sovereign State, and we new find that in spite of the ill success they met with both at home and abroad Lord Russell reiterates and defends them. Lord Ellenborough intimated an opinion that, as the differences between Denmark and Germany have been once brought within the domain of diplo• macy, they should so remain, and that England and France should not permit Germany to execute an act of invasion against Denmark. Lord Russell, on the other hand, declared himself opposed to an invitation to "go to war for the purpose of pre venting Germany carrying into effect laws which every State of Germany declares it to be the un doubted right of the Confederation to enforce." We trust that the German Powers will not give England and France cause to discuss this question more practically; but, in the meantime, we must protest against the doctrine that, because the Ger man States think certain things lawful orexpedient, therefore they have the right to enforce them in the King of Denmark's dominions, The question is a serious one for Germany, and it is to be hoped that her Princes and people will reflect on the course to which some enthusiasts would invite them. If they are encouraged by the language of Lord Russell to use violence to Denmark, they may fi n d that he has led them to misunderstand th e f ee li ng of England and of Europe. (Limited).

Hooker. This gallant officer, on his examination before the War Committee appointed to inquire into the conduct of last year's campaign in Virginia, confidently attri buted the failure of both M'Clellan and Burnside to take Richmond to the incapacity of those generals. According to Gen. Hooker, either of them ought with the army at his disposal to have effected the capture of Richmond. This confident witness now holds the post of Generalissimo of the Army of the North, and has an opportunity of proving the just ness of his conclusions in reference to the conduct of his predecessors by giving evidence of his own ability. He has, certainly, by implication, asserted his superiority to both of the disgraced generale, and must, in the language of the New York Herald, " make good his pretensions, or sink into irretrieva ble disgrace." It is probable that an opportunity for showing his strategical ability will quickly pre sE itself. After five months' rest, the army of the Potomac has quitted its cantonments. Those five months have not been lost on the troops, and the War Department of 'Washington must be even worse managed than we believe it to be if the army with which Gen. Hooker now takes the field is not in every respect as efficient as the most lavish expenditure in supplying its wants could possitly make it. Tne whole army is reported to be in motior, and as it has crossed the Rappahannock et fords either above or below Fredericksburg, it would seem that General Hooker proposes to take the same line of advance as that adopted in December last by Gen. Burnside. One New York journal states authoritatively that a portion of the Federal army had advanced to the rear of Fredericksburg, with the view of cutting off the Confederate line of com munication, and that the position in which Gen. Lee was thus placed offered him no other alterna.. tive than that of evacuating his position at Frede• ricksburg or fighting at a disadvantage. It is almost needless to say that Lee is much too skilful a general to allow himself to be taken in such a trap. The fact is that the War Department allow no authen tic information of the movements of the army to reach the press, and editors are obliged to devise all kinds of military operations in order to satisfy the craving of the public for news. In the columns of a Philadelphian evening paper a terrible battle has already been fought, in which, as a matter of course, the Federals were victorious. The following morn ing, however, brought with it the official contradic tion of the gratifying intelligence. At Richmond an opinion is prevalent that the Federal general is on the point of changing his base of operations from Fredericksburg to Yorktown, and that the move ments in the vicinity of the former place are merely intended as feints to mislead the Confederates. Although a change of base would in all probability be the best move Gen. Hooker could make, w e d o not believe that he could effect it with the slightest chance of surprising his wily adversaries. We do not think, therefore, that the present movements on the Rappahannock are intended to mislead. If, in deed, Gea. Hooker had at his disposal a sufficiently large force to admit of its being divided into two portions strong enough to act independently of each other, he might leave one at Fredericksburg and I when transport the other to the peninsula. Were he abl e to do this, he might compel the Confederate com mander-in-chief to retire on Richmond, and occupy the thSouthernPotomac, ,e r great as last summer.thet he samecap capital position But w tahs the held o ld r by threatened m f it is, could not be thus divided without considerable risk of its destruction in detail. It is more probable that Gen. Hooker has decided on advancing on Richmond with his whole force from Fredericks burg. If so, he must force a passage through those terrible lines which proved impiegnable to Burn side. If the winter months have afforded breathing time to the Federal troops, they have equally ena bled the Confederates to give additional strength to the entrenchments covering the approaches from Fredericksburg to the capital. It is said that Gen. Hooker's army has crossed the river without oppo sition ; but so did that of Gen. Burnside last winter. The notion that the Confederates were surprised by a movement which has been a long time in contem plation is too great an absurdity to be entertained even for a moment. The story that a telegraphic cable had been discovered connecting the Federal with the Confederate camp, ab‘. a , by which informa tion was transmitted from tne former to the latter, has proved, as might have beers expected, to be a canard; but although telegrams were not trans mitted between the two camps, we believe that the Confederates seldom lacked perfect information re specting the movements of their adversaries. The Federal Army has been allowed to cross the Rap pahannock because it did . not suit th e C onfederates to oppose its passage. Th e Southern troops have been at the trouble of constructing formidable en trenchments, behind which_ they can fi g h t i n com parative security, and under such c i rcumstances they would deserve to e called fools an d nut sol diers if they gave the b enemy th e opportunity of attacking them on an open pl a i n. lIERALD.—The conduct of the Government in the House of Commons last night was unpreee nted in the annals of Parliamentary history. Mr. Liddell brought forward the question of China in an elaborate speech of grea t ability, Mr. Baillie fol lowed, and pointed out in forcible tetms the dan gerous and reckless course of mischievous interven tion her Majesty's Ministers are pursuing in that country. The house was thin, as it o f ten is at eight o'clock. Many members, however, on both sides of the house, were in their places ready to take part in the debate; among the number were Mr. Cobden, Mr. Ferrand, Mr. H.

The Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs was in his place, but seetuzd glued to his seat. The Speaker put the question ; the 'lotion was negatived, to the utter astonishment of eve)), one present. Mr. Cobden then rose and rightly denounced the proceeding as being disres pectful to the house and discourteous to the hon. members. O; hers followed in the same strain. Mr. Layard excused himself by misstating the rule of the house, which misrepresentation was fully ex posed by Mr. S 'yn3our Fitzzerald. Lord Na.;:i gave notice that he would renew the quoition ons Moe day, on going into committee of supply. So the government have gained nothing by their rharp practice. There is not an instor.ce, we believe, oe record of a Government declining to defend so im portant a branch of their policy as in our relations with the Chinese. We fear, however, that rome thing was going on behind the scenes. The Govern ment whips were unusually busy-3 cunt-out had been planned—and as they could not with decency count out their Under Secretary of State, they pre ferred to let the debate close, rather than defend a policy which vitally affects one of our m os t im portant trades and the interests of 400 millions of the human race. We hope, however, that this in cident will infuse more spirit than usual into the debate on Monday. On Thursday morning Capt. Herkipe, command ing his Swedish Majesty's corvette Lagcrbjelke, now lying at the Motherbank, paid an official visit to the military and naval commanders-in-chief at Portsmouth, accompanied by the Chevalier Vanden berg, Royal Swedish Consul at Portsmouth. In the evening Capt. Herkipe, of the Lagerbjelke, and the commander cf the Prussian frigate Gefion, and the Chevalier Vandenberg were entertained at dinner at the Admiralty-house by Vice-Admiral S:r M, Seymour, G.C.B. Yesterday the officers of the two ships visited the dockyard, and displayed much in terest in the inspection of the Royal Sovereign and the iron ships now at the port. The Lagerbjelke has filled up with provisions and stores, and will sail for Carlscrona this afternoon or early to-morrow. The Esk, 21, screw corvette, was taken out of the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and will make her official trial of speed, preparatory to her com • mission, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay to-day, under the superintendence of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the Portsmouth Steam Reserve. The Curagoa, 26, screw, Capt. Sir W. Wiseman, will go out of harbour to-day to Spithead, where she will anchor to take in her powder and shell and complete her stores preparatory to sailing for her destination, the coasts of Australia, where Sir W. Wiseman will succeed the late Commodore Burnett as commanding officer on the station. The Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, Capt. J. F. B. Wainwright, will, 'According to present arrange ments, go out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Thursday next. We presume from this order that all is now pronounced perfect and fit for sea service. The Thunderer, old 84, now stripping in basin at Portsmouth for target practice, was valued before leaving Devonport at £30,000. Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Leander, Capt. Thomas Harvey, was taken for the final trial of her machinery to the measured mile off Maplin Sands on Thursday last, in charge of Capt. W. K. Hall, C.B„ of the Sheerness steam reserve. The machinery was in charge of Mr. Wootten, chief engineer of the ship. Mr. J. Dinnen, from the Admiralty, Mr.W. Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr. G. Bloxland, chief engineer of Sheerness dockyard, at tended to watch the results. The vessel attained an average speed of nearly 10 knots per hour, although the force of wind was from 5 to 6, and the sea was very rough. The trial was considered satisfactory, there being an entire absence of hot bearings or priming. The Leander will be inspected by Vice- Admiral Sir W. J. Hope Johnstone, K.C.8., Com mander-in-Chief at Sheerness, this day, immediately after which she will leave for Portsmouth and Ply mouth, en route for the Pacific, where she will hoist the bread pennant of Commodore T. Harvey, Rho has been appointed senior officer of the southern division of that station. The Columbines, 4, screw steam sloop, 669 tons, 150 horse power, commissioned by Commander T. L. E. H. Ward, has been taken into No. 4 dock in Sheerness dockyard to be examined, and have her bottom cleansed preparatory to proceeding to sea. The pennant was hoisted on Thursday by the Mas ter, Mr. Slader, and most of the officers have joined the ship. By direction of the Admiralty all the screw cor vettes, as well as the larger vessels fitting for the first division of the Chatham steam reserve, are to be supplied with an auxiliary engine for the pur pose of washing decks, weighing anchors, and other purposes. The iron troopship Tamar, 2,812 tons, 500 horse power, which is ordered to be sent from the Thames to Chatham to be placed in the dock now occupied by the Orlando, 46, 1,000 horse power, is to be fitted for the reception of 900 troops, 80 officers, and a crew of 220 men, including Royal Marines. She is to be supplied with two lifeboats, each 30 feet in length, four cutters, two gigs, one jolly-boat, and one other boat. As soon as the Tamar is docked at Chatham she will undergo a careful survey at the hands of the dockyard officials previous to being taken ever by the Admiralty from the contractors. The work in the shipwrights' department of Portsmouth dockyard is now being "pushed" again a little, and the result is that an order has been given to . enter a certain number of ship wrights, &c. On all former occasions there has been no difficulty in procuring any number of men from private yards in the north and other parts, but on the present occasion the men cannot be obtained sa readily as could be wished. A very sufficient reason is given for this. It is said that when the Government last wanted a largo number of ship wrights they were enticed from the numerous pri vate shipbuilding yards, employed for a short time in the royal dockyards, and then, when the Admi ralty had tided over their difficulty ruthlessly turned adrift. In the present instance the men know that, in leaving again the private for the Go vernment employ, they would be breaking up their homes and exchanging permanent situations for a temporary job, and they therefore naturally decline the bargain. Hands will no doubt be eventually obtained, but the supply will not come so readily to hand, nor will the material be equal to what has been formerly placed at the Admiralty's disposal. As a proof of the want of skilled labour in the ship wright department, the Duke of Wellington, sea men's depot ship at Portsmouth, is ordered to be completed fur sea as quickly as possible. Her chief requirements lie in the caulkers' department, and yesterday there were not more than three or four men and a couple of boys working with their caulk ing irons on board of her. A considerable amount of dissatisfaction has also been created among the shipwright apprentices by the issue of an official order affecting their position in the dockyard when they have served out their time of apprenticeship . The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. B. Rol land, to the Cossack ; Commander J. S. eirisl, sto the Curlew, vice Pakenham, promoted ; Lieut. J. Keats, to command t he Staunch, vice T moted ; A. J. Armstrong, Master, to t te Dauntless, for George M. Morris on, Master, to the M the Coastguard ; James H.

(From the limes' Correspondent.) - CONSTANTINOPLE, Tay 30. Never wit hin the memory of the oldest inhabi tants of Constantinople has there been witnessed such an enthusiastic manifestation as that which attended the return of the Sultan to his capital on Friday last, the Ist of May. It has produced such a sensation throughout the Empirz.., that I should be remiss in my duty if I did not attempt a descrip tion of the fetes and public ceremonials, which have been kept up without interruption for three conse cutive days. The accounts received from time to time of the Imperial progress, of the magnificent receptions of the Sultan in Egypt and in Smyrna, inspired the Government and the people with emu lation, and with a de3ire to outdo, if possible, in splendour and loyal demonstration all that had pre viously been accomplished. It was known on Thursday evening that th e Imperial squadron would anchor late at night off the Princes' Islands, and there remain until 10 o'clock the next morning, at which time it was offi cially announced the Sultan would make his solemn entry into the Golden Horn. The early dawn of Friday found the whole population of the capital astir, and in a fever of excitement and expectation. The streets, the public places, the surrounding pla teaux, and every point which from its elevation commanded the beautiful Horn swarmed with joyous multitudes in holiday attire. Every available craft between the Marmora and the Black Sea, com prising caiques, barges, steam tugs, and pleasure boats, was brought into requisition, and almost blocked up the entrance of the harbour long before the time appointed for the Sultan's entrance. At 10 o'clock the sound of a distant gun, quickly followed by successive reports, announced to the eager mul titude that the Imperial aqu adron had left its an chorage and was approaching the Golden Horn. As tte Imperial yacht neared this point, but while still it was lost to view, the temporary batteries at the Seven Towers took up the salute, which spread itself from point to point, keeping pace with, and accompanying, as it were, the slow movements of the yacht, until at the mcment that the Feizi Gaad showed her figurehead at the corner of the Serag lio-point, all the guns which had been placed in po sition, at the Old Seraglio, at Scutari, at the Ord nance Quay of Tophane, at the Galata Serai Bar racks at Pera, or the heights of Beshiktash, Dolma bagche, and Ortakoi, which all swarmed with cannon, poured out simultaneously a constant and well-sustained salute. The Turkish fleet, which is generally anchored within the bridges in the smooth waters of the Horn facing the naval arsenal, moved the day before, and formed an imposing line in front of the Palace of Dolma-ba gche, and in its collective force presented an imposing sight. As soon as the Im perial yacht came into full view they dressed ship, manned yards, and joined the land batteries in a deafening cannonade. Seen at this moment, the whole of Constantinople seemed in a blaze. In the mean while the Imperial yacht, followed by the Medjidieh frigate and the other escorting ships, proceeded at half-speed, hugging the Asiatic coast, until, coming round in a grand sweep, she cast anchor in front of the Imperial Palace. Ic was not accurately known whether the Sultan would land at the Palace steps or at Tophane. All doubt on the subject, however, was soon dispelled, for the State barge, followed by some palace caiques, with the Seratkier, the Capitan- Pasha, and the other persons of the suite, took the direction of the Mosque at Tophane, and it was known that the Sultan, in strict observance of his religious duties, before going to his palace, was pro ceeding to midday prayer to offer up a thanks giving for his safe return. The artillery ground at Tophane is one of the most beautiful public places of Constantinople. Ad joining the landing steps a triumphal arch had been raised, decorated with every description of arms and armour, both modern and ancient, arranged in panoplies. It was at this place that the Sultan landed, amid every demonstration of loyalty and en thusiasm. Here he was received by the Ministers the high functionaries of the State, the Church and judicial dignitaries (ulemahs), headed by the Sheik u'--Islam, and all the civil and military authorities. Without halting he proceeded to the Mosque hard by, while the glittering cortege went in procession to the Palace, there to await his presence at the levee (rikzab) which he was to hold afterwards. Early in the morning it had been intimated officially to Sir Henry Bulwer, as doyen of the foreign representatives here, that the Sultan would receive the diplomatic body at twelve o'clock. Accordingly, a little before that time, and previous to the return of the Sultan from Mosque, the Ambassadors and Ministers of the different nations, accompanied by a complete steff of secre taries and attaches, proceeded in gay uniform to the Palace. By the time that they had all congregated the Sultan left Mosque, and, escorted by a regiment of mounted Zouaves of the Guards and the Cent Gerdes in Spahis uniforms, rode from Tophane to the Palace, amid the eager and acclaiming multi tude. I was sufficiently near to see him ride into the Palace-yard. He was mounted on a magnificent white Arab, and was looking the very picture of conscious sovereignty and power. Shortly after his arrival at the palace he summoned the foreign re presentatives to his presence. Sir Henry Bulwer, in his name and that of his colleagues, addressed him a few well-chosen words, expressing the grati fication they felt at welcoming him again in his capital. In acknowledgment, the sultan, through the medium of Aali Pasha, made some graceful re marks, and laid some stress on the manner in which he had been received by the Consular authorities during hie progress. This terminated the cere monial of the day. But, brilliant as had been the proceedings of the day, they were eclipsed by the beautiful spectacle which was witnessed on that and the two l nights.

TlMES.—Partly from its intricacy, and partly from the comparative narrowness of the interests involved, the question of Schleswig-Holstein has never been much studied by the public of this coun try. It i s a su bj ect o f w hi c h pro f esse d po l i ticians have made much, and respecting which the press has accordingly been called at intervals to repeat facts and to pronounce opinions; but the explana tions have, we fear, been soon forgotten, and the public has alt oget h er om i tte d to f o ll ow t h e question through the weary disputations of later years. Yet, though people m a y no t care for the details of an interminable discussion, there is a strong sympathy for the gallant little State which has been engaged in so unequal a con t es t. This feeling is naturally increased by the alliance between the Royal Houses of Great Britain and Denmark, and hardly less naturally by the apparent recklessness of Lord Russell in abandoning the policy of this country and that which he himself formerly approved, in order to lecture Denmark and bid her yield all that her opponents demand. Hence our readers will hardly fail to take some interest in the debate in the House of Lords last evening. Lord Ellenborough thought the time opportune for a recurrence to the subject, inasmuch as it seems likely that the quarrel may come to a crisis within the present year. Indeed, for some time past the Federal Government of Germany has been threatening an armed interfer ence with the Danish Monarchy. We well know that the distance between the conception and the execution of an idea is greater with Germans than with most people, but it is not at all impossible that one of the two great Governments may, sooner or later, be induced to march a force into the Duchies. Should future difficulties give France or Russia the opportunity of appea r i ng as c h amp i ons of Den mark against its German foes, it will be impossible wholly to acquit Lord R usse ll of having aided in producing so untoward an event by his despatch of a few months since, and by the attitude he has assumed towards Denmark in the present discuss sion. As to the despatch, Lord Derby admits that it was written, not on the mere motion of the Bri tish Government, but as part of a diplomatic eorre • spondenee ; that the interference was not forced upon the contending States, bat was consented to by them; but it is not less the case that the lan guage of Lord Russell and the proposals he made were wholly inconsistent with th e f ormer po li cy o f this country, and even with his sown expressed opi nions. It is well blown that Denmark, acting under Russi a , advicethe has o W f h t h i s i n c o t u h n e t r i y a 8 , t a s f e w w e l y l e a a s r s o f d F o r n a e n c e e v e a r n y ( . l thing . to content the people of the Duchies, so far as this contentment was consistent with the inte grityconnected with the suecessAiosnnis. of the monarchy. of Denmark, though the unity of the kingdom was much impaired, endeavoured and Lauenbue fn o soon good de faithth e . questions applys ti o s were settled the King a constitution to all parts t e n i h p i o e p h u I common ssentiesi cgconstitution, man will den 3a 1 ) : nr d gn ominions.

Yesterday a detachment of the Ist division of the depot brigade Royal Artillery, consisting of 100 non-commissioned officers and men, under the com mand of Capt. Norton, with Lieut. Harrison, left headquarters and embarked at the Ordnance-what 5 0 V 7.. a- -- formly arranae eitainired arcades; ~liPerio.ll o .

The Roman Catholic, Greek, and Arke- S nian Churches in this suburb disticguished them selves by their display of loyal demonstration. Two days before the British Ambassador gave notice to his colleagues that it was his intention to illuminate the Embassy. They all accordingly followed his lead, and every Legation in Pera showed en illuminated front. The contagion was caught even by small unfrequented streets, many of which made desperate (fforts to attract the sightseers from the principal thoroughfares. The concourse of peo ple in the streets was not inferior, in point of num bers, to what is sr( n in Regent street on the occa rno sion of the Queen's birthday ; b u t h ere t h e calm :le . m anour of Orientals, which isc , a p u ti g ia h t t i, m m o , deoe ors lessnot by the Frank portion of the p 11-41 vent in the rowdiness which characterises a British mob. The canine race alone d.d not par take in the general rejoicing. These night scaven gers of Pera and rophane were driven from their accustomed haunts, and had to prowl in remote quarters in search of the freedom and repose which was denied them in their own. On the third night of the illuminations the Sultan expressed his intention of riding through the streets of Pera among his Christian subjects. No sooner was this known than the decorations of the two previous nights were restored, and considerable ad ditions were introduced to make them worthy of the occasion. At 6 o'clock the Sultan arrived in Pere, and was received by Fuad Pasha and Omar Pasha at the barracks in the Grande Champs des Torts, where he dined in company with them and the senior officers in command. Between 8 and 9 o'clock he made his appearance, preceded by a troJp of Zcutves of the Guard, and followed by a detach ment of the Cent Gardes. Ho rode his favourite white Arab. The expression of his countenance denoted considerable emotion at the reception which he met. Every window was crowded with persons eager to see him, the greater proportion of whom consisted of the fair sex, waving handkerchiefs and spreading showers of flowers and bouquets. He ex pressed his acknowledgment of these manifestations by bowing repeatedly right and left—a proceeding quite unprecedented on the part of a Sultan, and which, until now, was looked upon as an infringe ment of etiquette; and so pleased was he, evidently, at this reception that he actually rode a second time through the Grande Rue. At the door of Misseri's Hotel be was met by a body of English travellers, and greeted with a hearty British cheer, in return for which he smiled and bowed in the most gracious manner. I have endeavoured to give you a description of these beautiful fetes, but that which it ie impossible properly to describe—inasmuch as it surpassed any thing that I have previously witnessed—is the ex traordinary enthusiasm which attended them, and which was shared by all classes of the Sultan's sub jects. If he is wise in taking advantage of this feel ing he may achieve great things. On his accession to the throne the same manifestations but not nearly to the same extent occurred. His subsequent acts destroyed in a great measure the prestige which he then possessed. He ha; now another and a greater opportunity, but a renewal of disappointment in the public mind would irretrievably ruin his popu larity. It is said he has returned to his capital deeply impressed with what he has seen, and with a determination to inaugurate a new state of things. Over eagerness and haste in reform are sometimes as dangerous as inaction. It is to be hoped, there fore, that he will not press too rapidly the execution of ill digested measures, and try to bring about in • stantaneously what must be the work of time. He is assisted by taro advisers whose value he is now it seems disposed to recognise. Statesmen like Fuad and Alli would not discredit a European country. His opposition to their wise counsels created diffi culties and embarrassments dangerous to the stability of the empire. This opposition has given way, it is rffirmed, to a feeling of confi dence and favour. The finances bid fair to improve. The army and the navy, for purposes of defence, are in a better coudition than for a long time past. An inflexible exposure of the corrupt practices which prevail, wholesome reforms in the administra tion of the prov inces, retrenchment in expenditure, _ _ the adoption of means for the development of the vast resources of the empire, a reformed Judicial system, and the extension of equal privileges to all subjects, whether Christians or Turks,—these measures, if properly taken in hand, at a moment of extraordi ❑ary popularity, may, if persevered in, render this occasion a memorable one in the history of this country, and once more raise the hopes of its well wishers. SMOKING IN RAILWAY CARRIAGES. At the Marylebone Police Court, yesterday, a summons was heard in the absence of a person named Augustus E. Tamplin, for that he did, on the 4th April, unlawfully smoke in a railway car riage on the London and North-Western Railway, contrary to the statute, &c. Mr. Adam Rivers Steel, a solicitor, said—On the day named I was coming from Kilburn by the Lon don and North-Western Railway in a first-class carriage. Defendant was smoking, and I complained of it. He would not desist, and I spoke to the ticket collector at Camden, and he requested me to speak to the guard. On our arrival at the platform I did so, and the person gave the name of Augustus E. Tamplin, 107, Cambridge-street, Pimlico. He was smoking when I got in, and I said, " Do you know, sir, you are infringing the laws of the company ?" and he said "No," and another young gentleman said, " How is he to know that ?" I said, " He can't help seeing, for it is up in the carriage." He then made use of bad language. I said to them , " Do y ou young people think to make old people , and flooslsaiPd" They said, "Do you mind smoking p , " No, only the ladies ought to be thoughts coming of." up I! was only a few mornings ago , as I was but This siolmise theylad ieiesefnr,teraendda o a carriage, g t which o e, anothe k had no sooner got in than smokin g a so s r that they got out of the fryivgapnd a i t n suC t aCn : rr r ifeg.;e7b eed, fire.

I must say that when I travel in a first class carriage I i • nvariably suffer from headache through parties smoking, and perhaps it has been through a moral cowardice on my part that I have not taken the matter up as this gentleman has done. I won't specify any railway that this disagreeable practice is not carried out upon. It seems to me that these gentlemen of all others ought to be the parties to uphold the law and not break it. It has just occurred to me that en ono occasion I put my head into a first-class carriage and saw a gentlet..an smoking. I asked the porter if it was allowed, and received for answer, " Oh, sir, ho is a director." Mr. Cleather—lt is not allowed on our line. Mr. Yardley—lt is a fine thing for the directors and managers to be exempt from their own bye-laws. I think, Mr. Steel, the ladies ought to be obliged to you.
