As noble a personage as any numbered amongs the patricians of England during more than the last two generations has but just now passed from the midst of us. When Parliament shall have met within a very few days, his place will be the first noticed as vacant, his name will be the first hon oured with the respectful and affectionate tributes of all parties alike —Whig or Tory, Liberal or Con servative —tributes of admiration not less earnestly accorded to his memory by her MAJESTY'S Opposi tion than by those intimate personal friends and Ministerial colleagues of the departed Statesman, some of whom have been alternately at intervals during more than half a century the leaders of her MAJESTY'S Government. And yet the distinguished nobleman, whose fair fame all parties in both Houses will thus delight to honour, was essentially himself, throughout his long life, though in no invidious sense, essentially a party man. As the NESTOR of the Whigs, ho was revered down to the moment of his demise by the surviving chiefs and the diminished ranks of that once powerful and, indeed, long dominant Party. A Whig of the old school the deceased Peer was so avowedly and undeniably that he carried about with him the colours of his political party in his very raiment. He was as recognisably Whig in his buff waistcoat and his blue coat garnished with its burnished brass buttons,es the blue-and-buff papering outside the Edinburgh Review yet adver tises the honest fact of itsbeing also still thoroughly Whig as of old. No new-fangled or modernised Whig in any way was the good and almost great man whom we are now lamenting. HENRY PETTY was a Whig as CHARLES Fox was a Whig—a Whig (as we have already expressed it) of the Old School —the champion of e very liberal measure of his time, the consistent and unflinching advocate from first to last of every principle of social and mercantile, of political and religious toleration. As signally illustrative of the amplitude of the scope of his liberalism, it would almost be sufficient of itself to point, in Lord LANSDOWNE'S instance, to the significant circumstance, that he almost alone, among the great Whig leaders of his age, was from the very outset a cordial and resolute up holder of the doctrines of Free Trade—thinking upon that head, from the very commencement, himself, as ADAM SMITH wrote and as WILLIAM ITUSKISSON spoke and voted. Exceptional this fact was in his instance in no particular. I t ma of y be regarded, on t he contrary, as sim P typical the clear and distinct prevision generally of his sound and long ripened judgment. Calmly and without any fretting whatever at delays in the r e cognition by others of truths he himself had years and years previously come quite fully to recognise, the late Marquis of LANSDOWNE was a man in very many respects long before his time. He was so, that is to say, exactly as in the in stance but just now particalerised. He was a Free Trader when nearly all the world besides—. including amongst that overwhelming majority his associates and intimates the Whigs--was Protec tionist. As an enlightened Political Economist ha has for sixty years stood in the foremost rank. As an upholder of the cause of fiscal, financial, legal, and leg islative reforms, he has never, during all that, lengthened interval, occupied, in the esti mation of his countrymen, a subordinate position. Yet he has throughout the whole of this long public life 'resolutely. m aintained that position w ith a and nea rl y , we might say, un very rare paralleled unSelfishneSS. Hi mse lf not without a mbition, he has, nevertheless, always disdained his own ad vancement. The interests not so much of his party as of his cause, as of the principles embodied in that cause and championed by that party, have been, invariably, unhesitatingly with him the foremost, indeed, the one paramount consideration. Again and again Lord LANSDOWNE might have been installed in power as Prime Minister of Eng- land. Again and again he has refrained from grasping that coveted responsibility, w h en placed Within his reach, time after time, by the confidence of his SOVEREIGN. Once, in the earlier part of his career, tie refrained —solely by reason of the same magnanimous dictate of self-abnegation—from assuming, what he then might quite readily have assumed, the next golden prize to the supreme prize of all in this country (the Premiership)—the Leader of the British House of Commons ! Himself, again, the worthy and noble descendant of that large-hearted and keen-witted Sir WILLIAM PETTY—son of a Romsey clothier, in the Days of the Commonwealth, founder of the fortunes of his house, and originator of the science of Political Arithmetic, the basis of the fiscal and financial systems since that age so wondrously elaborated—the departed statesman, less in the spirit of his father, the first Marquis, than in the spirit, we might suppose, of his ancestor the clothier of the days of the Commonwealth, declined a Dukedom ! Not a man amongst all his contemporaries during the eighty-three years of his honoured life but would have recognised in the garland of strawberry leaves a symbol honoured by, rather than honouring, the brow it encircled, had the ducal coronet been accepted in stead of being, as it was, declined by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE. Eighty-three years, marked by the love and re spect of all who approached him, lengthened out the span of Lord LANSDOWNE'S almost enviable exist ence. Sixty of those years have chequered with the interests of public life, the charms distinguish- ing at every turn the private life of this eminently refined and intellectual patrieian. Born at Shel burne house on the 2d July, 1780—it was in the midst of the flames and bloodshed of the infamous No Popery riots led on by Lord GEORGE GORDON, that wicked and most fantastic of crack-brained fanatics—Lord HENRY PETTY has survived for the enjoyment of a life of ease and honour, during a period of from eighty-two to eighty-three years (a strangely momentous period in the world's history !) breathing his last calmly and without7:pain on Saturday evening, the 31st of January, 1863, at his well known country seat of Bowood in Wiltshire. An accidental stumble, occurring less than a fort night since, while crossing the threshold of his house at Bowood from the garden-terrace, appears to have been tho immediate cause of death. It was not merely that the head of the marquis was cut by this fall, an artery was actually divided, the rupture of that artery resulting at the moment, of course, in a violent hemorrhage. Five days after the stumble the venerable statesman expired. Not struck down by any protracted or painful disease, but quietly sinking into death as into a sleep. Scarcely of age when he entered the House of Com mons, Lord HENRY PETTY, there took his seat first of all as M.P. for the borough of Caine. His chosen metier was Finance. His maiden speech was on the Irish Bank Protection Bill. During those first years of his career as a legislator, the daring young political athlete frequently contended there, in that conspicous arena of the House of Commons, with no less formidable an antagonist than Mr. PITT him self, then the JUPITER TOWANS of debate and the most potent master of the Science of Fi nance in the three kingdoms—in all Christen dom. On the impeachment of Lord MEL- VILLE, the young member for Calne, the future Marquis of LANSDOWNE, delivered the most brilliant oration he had then uttered, an oration which, in re gard to its effectiveness, he never afterwards sur passed. In his twenty-sixth year he became—after the death of PlTT—Chancellor of the Exchequer. At the period of his assuming office in that caps city, Lord HENRY PETTY stood as a candidate for I the University of Cambridge—coming off as con queror in that still memorable contest, in which he was opposed by Lord ALTHORPE and the now Premier, Viscount PALMERSTON. Home Secretary in Mr. CANNING'S Administration I —Foreign Secretary in the Cabinet of CANNING'S successor—the late Marquis of LANSDOWNE held offices in the four famous Ministries presided over at different times by Earl GREY, by Viscount MEL BOURNE, by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and by Viscount PALMERSTON. Always looked up to by the most distinguished of his colleagues as a man of enlarged intellect and of the soundest judgment, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE has been regarded all the while with implicit confidence in his liberalism by the People, and with equally implicit confidence in his loyalty by the SOVEREIGN. A true man, a wise admini strator, a sagacious statesman, a consistent Refor mer, a man of letters, an orator, pre-eminently a man of taste, open handed, open hearted, beloved, revered—Lord LANSDOWNE leaves behind him a reputation that will long be cherished with respect and affection, both of them unstinted. By the " Navy List" for January, 1863, we ind that there are upwards of one thousand ships of one denomination or other mounting from one to 131 guns. Among these a new class of vessels has re cently been introduced which bids fair, in due time, to supersede the others. This class has of late ab sorbed public attention almost exclusively. Hitherto hearts of oak were our ships, as jolly tars were our men, but now hard iron, and harder steel, are to form the future of our navy. Not only is the change from wood to iron working wonders in the quality of our ships, but exciting admiration at their size. Old "salts" shake their heads with scrutinising doubt at a novelty so " prodigious"—a tonnage too enormous to be "handy" in a rough seaway—but there the mammoth ships are, riding in beautiful symmetry, and steadiness of trim. Where will they find docks for repair ? That's the question we are now going to discuss, at the suggestion of a gallant officer, who has done good service in attending her MAJESTY and the Royal Family in many a perilous gale. Rear-Admiral the Hon. JOSEPH DENMAN has addressed a letter to Lord 12ALMERSTON ‘4on the Pressing Necessity for increased Docks and Basins at Portsmouth," which has now reached a third edition, published by Mr. RIDGWAY, Piccadilly. This is some criterion as to the interest which the public take in naval affairs, and the patriotic Admiral is not a day too soon with his pressing necessity for setting our docks in order. It certainly seems strange that our Admiralty should have overlooked so tangible a ne cessity—but the " Board," in their calculation, e- sel dom take the futu re into account, bein g quite r gardless of the maxim " look works by " dead reckoning," before you leap? , Not they indeed! The a system" reckoning," and the Board takes " observation' afterwards. Admiral DENMAN says that unless we now take time by the forelock during Peace, the remedy will be attempted too late, if commenced only afte r events shall have proved our deficiencies. And he is quite right. Docks and steam basins are the measure of the force we can maintain in a seagoing state, and if they have been proved to be inadequate 1 in a time of peace they must be still more so in a time l of war. Now, the harbour of Portsmouth has cepa , city sufficient to contain one half the British Navy. : It has docks too, built for ships of large burden, but not for such as are now brought forward with a tonnage so large, that one of our iron-cased _Frigates, as they are termed, would make three first-rates of days gone by, when NELSON swayed the oceans. The "meteor flag of England" must now have a home to repair to, other than on the deep, and that home is Portsmouth, with all its vast na tural capabilities. There is room enough to build any number of docks, spacious and deep, for ships of the largest burden—indeed it is not likely that for warlike purposes any depth beyond 32 feet will be required ; but, to make assurance doubly sure, why not construct some deeper still, say 36 feet, or thereabouts, for any state of tide, and steam basins to correspond. The first cost would be the last ; but cost what they will the thing must be done—not at Portsmouth alone, but also at Devon port, Chatham, and Pembroke—but Portsmouth to begin with, for that is the central port in the Chan nel. It should have gridirons to boot. The question of expense will no doubt be pleaded for delay ; but no expense can justify delay in a mat ter of such grave national concern as the maintenance of our superiority at sea. If we once lose that our independence is gone, and we cease to exist °as the home of the free and the last hope of the forlorn refugee. The present extent of our basins is very limited, being scarcely one quarter the requisite dimensions, while our docks are unfit to take in ordinary large ships, save at spring tides. Now we ought to have basins so capacious that half a dozen iron ships of the largest size could enter at all hours of the tide and find accommodation for im reed:ate and simultaneous repair alongside the steam basins and dockyards, and that without re moving their guns or machinery stores. They manage these matters better in France : " At Keyham the basins contain 12 acres, and can be entered by heavy ships at spring tides, and this is the whole quay accommodation that exists for iron-plated ships (or for screw-ships of the line) when fitted out for sea, for the two basins at Portsmouth, 9/ acres in the aggegate, from their shallowness, can never be entered by these ships, except when lightened, and then only at spring tides. Whereas at Cherbourg, though there is no natural har bour, yet the artificial basins of 48 acres supply immensely more quay accommodation than Portsmouth Harbour. They are accessible from the safe and convenient anchor age inside the breakwater every day, and six first-class docks which open into the basins can be entered, or quitted, every hour of every day. There is no flow of tide, nor can there be any sea in the very heaviest weather to affect large ships, while the extent of the basin is sufficient to contain more than 30 such ships, of which a large number would come in actual contact with the dockyard alongside the quay." Admiral DENMAN takes exception to the length of our iron ships making them so difficult to turn, as to expose them to being run down in action — the combination of speed and weight being irresis tible. No doubt, if the opponent were so much larger in proportion—but such a contingency may be avoided by dexterity of manceuvring, though not always. Still ships may be built too large for . warlike as for useful purposes. There may be too much of a good thing—take the Great Eastern for example, but not for copy, if you would keep your hand out of the exchequer. Admiral ROBINSON, the Controller of the Navy, s, eaking in reference to dock accommodation, says that a ship disabled in action being repaired with promptitude becomes equivalent to two in effect, against a disabled enemy. Hence the urgent ne cessity for docks and basins commensurate to our wants. In 1861 a committee of the House of Com mons, of which Mr. - WHITBREAD was chairman, as a Lord of the Admiralty, sat to inquire into a pro posed extension of Chatham dockyard, and made a report in which occurs the following :—" In the event of this country being engaged in a maritime war, the existing means for fitting out ships, ina dequate as they are to even the present wants of the navy, would render it wholly impossible to equip rapidly and safely such a fleet as would be required- Apart from all question of cost and inconvenience delay might terminate in disaster." Nor will it mend the matter to learn that the facilities possessed by other Powers are incompar ably superior to those afforded by the naval esta blishments of this country. The merchant service have some docks long enough, but all, with one exception, fall far short in the depth required. We are adding greatly to the defences of Ports mouth all around, and if we mistake not, some pre parations are now being ma-le for extending the harbour towards the foot of Portsdown Hill,whether for basins and docks time will prove. Admiral DENMAN agrees with Mr. COBDEN in his " Three Panics," from which he quotes freely, that there can be no possible doubt that our expenditure has been immensely increased by the defective system which governs naval affairs. And owing to the great and just objections entertained to the system of naval administration, a committee of the House of Commons was appointed last session, says the Admiral— "To investigate this subject, and to report also on the effect of that system on the Navy.' The enquiry arose from no personal attack or imputation, but those who had officially conducted our naval affairs were placed on the committee in great force. They identified themselves with the system they had administered, and treated the question as a matter personal to themselves. Thus it happened that the inquiry which was intended in the public interest to ascertain what were the defects of the system, was mainly directed to prove its perfection. "Every living statesman who had filled the office of First Lord of the Admiralty (several being members of the com mittee, and as such judge, jury, and witnesses in their own cause) was in his turn examined, and the evidence of First Lords alone occupies 315 pages of the blue book, con sisting of 636. Among the First Lords on the committee was Sir James Graham, who was the originator of the very system the value and results of which were under enquiry, and the determination to crush the enquiry was apparent throughout the proceedings. In the face of this immense array of official experience it was impossible for Members of the committee unacquainted with the Admiralty, but whose opinions might be unfavourable to that system, co struggle successfully. Mr. Bentinck, who was most conversant with naval affairs of those not connected with the profes sion, and was strongly opposed to the system, brought for ward in committee a motion to close its proceedings, on the ground that from the composition of the committee and other causes, 'no satisfactory conclusion could be arrived at,' and his motion being defeated, he absented himself from further attendance in despair. "One of the primary grounds brought forward as prov ing the effect of the system on the Navy' to be most inju rious, was the state of the dockyards with regard to dock and basin accommodation ; but those who were known to hold this opinion had no opportunity given them of esta blishing the facts in their evidence, and it is to be feared that the break-down of the enquiry (for no report was made, and the committee was not re-appointed) has only strengthened a bad system. It is of very serious concern to the House of Commons, when it institutes enquiries on subjects of such immense national moment, not to allow * them thus to be trifled with. "If no amendment, however, has resulted from this enquiry, and there is still reason to believe that naval affairs are conducted on a mistaken system, it would be a far worse evil to suffer the country to remain inade quately provided with resources as necessary as the ships themselves, for without them the ships we possess would be nearly useless." The Admiral concludes his patriotic appeal to Lord PALMERSTON, by suggesting that if Ports mouth be exposed to danger it would be far wiser to build our ships in a less exposed situation, such as Chatham, or in the Thames, and we heartily repairing r Pinogrtdsmamouatghodwosuhlidpsfi n a d n o d c c e u n p g a i t n i e o e n , e a n g o re u e gh wi i t n h but first it oust be enabled to do so, and the sooner the better.

ME SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1863. ~` LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AMERICA. (Per the Africa, via Roche's Point, 9.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, JAN. 22. The absence of all reliable information from the Army of the Potomac causes great anxiety. Among numberless rumours that prevail, is one that a terrible conflict has commenced, and that General Hooker is mortally wounded. The last intelligence received from the armies from the West, states that General Grant is making extensive preparations at Memphis for some impor tant movement iv a direction not yet made public. General M'Clernand is advancing up Arkansas River, with the intention of attacking Little Rock, the capital of the State. General Rosecranz is being heavily reinforced, to enable him to push to Shelbyville, or to give battle to the Corfederates at Murfreesboro', should they attack him there. The total loss of the Federals at Murfreesboro' is admitted by them to be 10,287 killed, wounded, and missing. The Legislature at Albany hasnot yet agreed upon the choice of a speaker. Great agitation prevails. The town is filled with rowdies from New York. Judge Bend, the Democratic candidate, has with. drawn. Gold advanced from 1, to -1 per cent. yesterday ; to-day it stands at 48 premium. Middling upland cotton, 751 e. to 76c. per pound. FRANCE. PARIS, FEB. 2. The Mondeur of this morning announces the nomination of M. Royer as First President of the Cour des Comptes. The Moniteur also says :—" Tne Emperor re ceived a deputation with the Address of the Senate yesterday, and observed, in reply;— «'I receive with thanks the Address by which the Senate gives its approbation to my policy. The expressions of devotion which it contains touch me sincerely. The unanimity displayed in voting the Address has also given me deep satisfaction, be cause it testifies a harmony which cannot fail to bring about happy results.' " The same journal further states that, according to a despatch received from Alexandria, the party opposed to peace is in the ascendant at Hue. The Annanite Minister of Commerce has given Admiral Bonnard to understand that serious difficulties will be encountered in the execution of certain articles of the treaty. The Admiral is taking measures to meet all emergencies. The Moniteur also contains news from Mexico to Dec. 27. At that date General Forey was still at Orizaba with the main body of the expeditionary force, collecting provisions and ammunition, and preparing to march towards Puebla as soon as the necessary resources should have been brought together. Le Pays believes that the debate on the address in the Corps Legislatif will be as pacific as that in the Senate. The tone and form of the address read on Saturday in the Chamber is very similar to that adopted by the Senate ; and after considering some paragraphs, Le Pays arrives at the conclusion, that no member sitting on the benches of the national assembly will hesitate to give it his hearty support. Le Constitutionnel of to-day, after stating the refusal of the King of Prussia to receive the depu tation with the Addresss, remarks that it is the first time that such a thing has happened in Prussia since the establishment of the constitution. The same journal cites a paragraph from Le Colonne, slating that, within the last few days, many hun dred bales of cotton have been disembarked at Bou logne by the steamers arriving from England, to the astonishrdent of the English visitors prome nading the quays, who were justly surprised that their merchants should send to France a raw material so greatly needed in their own country.

A grand children's festival was given by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess yesterday at their palace in Berlin, to celebrate the fourth birth-day of Prince William, their royal highnesses' eldest son. Their Majesties dined with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess on the occa sion, and remained to witness the entertainment which followed. The Bavarian Minister at the Court of Berlin goes to St. Petersburg in a few days on business connected with the marriage contract between the Princess of Leuchtenberg and Prince William of Baden, who are to be united in the course of next month. AUGSBURG, Jan. 28. In memory of the residence of Queen Marie of Naples at Augsburg, a silver medal has been granted to the female scholars in the St. Ursula Convent. The medal bears the inscription—" Souvenir of the visit of her Majesty Queen Marie of Naples in the conventual school of St. Ursula. Augsburg, Jan. 3, 1863." The nuns have received a copy of the medal in gold. - The Prince of Wales has - consented to inaugurate the Memorial of the 1851 Exhibition, designed by Mr. Durham, in the Gardens of the Royal Horticultural So ciety. The ceremony will take place on the sth of June next. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, Colonel Du Plat, and suite honoured the performances at the Adelphi Theatre with their presence on Saturday evening. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and Princess Mary honoured the Olympic Theatre with their presence on Saturday evening, and expressed their approbation of the entertainments. His Excellency the Italian Minister has returned to the residence of the Legation in Grosvenor-street, from the Continent. The Earl and Countess of Cork are expected in town to-morrow from Marston House, Somersetshire. The Earl and Countess Vane are expected in town in a few days. His lordship has taken a residence in Upper Grosvenor-street for the season. The Countess Dowager of Longford and Lady Louisa Pakenham have arrived in town from Brighton. Lord and Lady Egerton of Tatton come to town to-day from their seat, Tatton.park, Cheshire. Lord Ashburton continues at Paris too unwell to proceed to the 'loath of France or to bear the fatigue of being removed home. Although considered better, his lordship remains in very indifferent health. _ . Lord and Lady John Manners are expected in town on Wednesday, from visiting the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire. Lord and Lady Faversham come to town to morrow from Duncombe-park, Yorkshire. The Right Hon. Sir George Cornewall Lewis, who has been suffering from indisposition for some days past, is now, we learn much better. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, M.P., arrived in Whitehall gardens on Saturday, from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire, for the meeting of Parliament. Tne Right Hon. the Speaker and Lady Charlotte Denison will arrive at the right hon. gentleman's official residence at the New Palace, Westminster, this evening, from their seat in Nottinghamshire. PERORATIONS—Enumerated by a London Reviewer. Macaulay's first speech on the Reform Bill, one of the most highly wrought of all his speeches, thus terminated:— "The danger is terrible. The time is short. If this bill should be rejected, I pray to God that none of those who concur in rejecting it may ever remember their votes with unavailing remorse, amidst the wreck of laws, the confusion of ranks, the spoliation of property, and the dis solution of social order." Fox closed his speech on the state of Ireland thus:— " I shall now relinquish this subject, perhaps for ever, by repeating a sentiment that I have before thrown out during the discussion. I will not barter English commerce for Irish slavery. That is not the price I would pay, nor is the thing I would purchase." No illustration, however, can be better than the rival addresses delivered on the last night of the debate in December, 1852—the debate which cost Lord Derby's Government their office. The first passage quoted is the conclusion of Mr. Disraeli's peroration ; the second, that of Mr. Gladstone:— " This I know, that England does not love coalitions. I appeal from the coalition to the public opinion, which governs the country—to that public opinion whose wise and irresistible influence can control even the decrees of Parlia ment, and without whose support the most august and ancient institutions are but the baseless fabric of a vision." " You may refuse my appeal now—you may accompany the Chancellor of the Exchequer into the lobby—but the lime will surely come when you will look back upon this vote, as its consequences shall sooner or later unfold Ihena selves, with bitter, but with late and ineffectual repen. tance." By way of final illustration, the concluding pas sages of Bulwer's " Last Days of Pompeii," and of "Mill on the Floss," along with Mrs. Oliphant's description of Irving's death, might be instanced as worthy of study for their extreme rhythmical beauty. The New Viceroy of Egypt and the Cotton Supply. The subjoined interesting and satisfactory letter has been handed to us for publication : The Firs, Lee, Kent, Jan. 25, 1863.—My dear the month of November you were kind enough to submit to the genttemen forming the Cotton Supply Association a communication I was entrusted to make to them, in refer ence to a proposition on their part, soliciting the sanction of the late Viceroy of Egypt to be allowed to form an asso ciation for the purpose of advancing to the cotton cultiva tors of that country, with the view of extending the culti • vation of cotton in Egypt. In answer to this proposition, His Highness not only sanctioned the formation of the proposed association, but consented to give the moral guarantee of the Government for the p-iyment of the ad vances made to the Fellahs. Since that communication was made a change has taken place in the Government of Egypt The viceroyalty has passed into other hands. The present Viceroy of Egypt, his Highness Ishmael Pasha, has in structed me to lose no time in informing the association of his views as regards the question at issue. His Highness is fully alive to the importance of extend i❑g, as much as possible, the cultivation of cotton in his do minions, and no exertion on his part will ba wanting to that end. His Highness is also aware of the benefit to be derived by the Fellahs from a judicious advance of money to those not possessing sufficient means to extend their cultivation ; but his Royal Highness is convinced that these advances ought to be made by the Egyptian Government itself; and, in order to make them out of the revenues of the country, has merely determined upon introuucing a reform in the finan cial administration of the country, which—added to the strictest economy in every department of the Government —will enable him to carry his views into effect without re course to foreign aid. Under these considerations, I am instructed to inform the gentlemen forming the Cotton Supply Association that His Highness rescinds the sanction given by the predeces sor; but at the same time to assure them that he does so solely under the conviction that the object they have in in view of extending the cultivation of cot ton in Egypt will be more readily attained by the means we propose to adopt than by a company, which would necessarily be composed of parties inexperienced in the internal administration of Egypt. May I request the favour of your communicating the letter to the association, and apologising for the trouble I am giving you, believe me, dear sir, yours very truly, Thos. Bailey, Esq., M.P. JOHN W.

The Epoca of Madrid of the 27th announces that the rumour of General Zavala's probable accept ance of the Portfolio of the Marine, in consequence of General Bustillos' resignation, has no foundation whatever, and that Marshal O'll unell will con tinue to direct that department.

Calderon Collante , has, from motives of modesty, declined the honour of a title of Castille, which it was the Queen's in tention to confer upon him as a reward for his long services, THE DUKE OF ELLINGTON'S OPINION OF NAPOLEON I.—lt is very true that I have often said that I considered Napoleon's presence in the field to be equal to 40,000 men in the balance. This is a very loose way of talking ; but the idea is a very different one from that of his presence at a battle being equal to a reinforcement of 40,000 men. I'll explain my meaning. 1. Napoleon was a grand 14omme de guerre, possibly the greatest that ever ap peared at the head of a French army. 2. He was the sove reign of the country as well as the military chief of the army. That country was constituted upon a military basis. All its institutions were framed for the purpose of forming and maintaining its armies with a view to conquest. All the offices and rewards of the state were reserved in the first instance for the arm y. An officer, even a private soldier, of the army might look to the sovereignty of a kingdom as the reward for his services. It is obvious that the presence of the sovereign with an army so constituted must greatly excite their exertions. 3. It was quite certain that all the resources of the French state, civil, political, financial, as well as military, were turned towards the seat of the opera tions which N apo l eon hi mse lf s h ou ld di rec t. 4. Every sove reign in command of an army enjoys advantages against him who exercises only a delegated power, and who acts under orders and responsibilities. But Napoleon enjoyed more advantages of this description than any other sove reign that ever appeared. His presence, as stated by me more than once, was likely not only to give to the French army all the advantages above detailed, but to put an end to all jealousies of the French marshals, and their counter action of each other, whether founded upon bad principles and passions, or their fair differences of opinion. The French army thus h a d a un ity of action. These four con siderations induced me to say generally, that his presence ought to be considered as 40,000 men in the scale. But the idea is obviously very loose, as must be seen by a moment's reflection. If the two armies opposed to each other were 40,000 men on each side, his presence could not be equal to a reinforcement of 40,000 men on the side of the French army,—nor even if they were 60,000 men on each side, or possibly even 80,000 men on each side. It is clear, however, that wherever he went he carried with him an obvious advantage. I don't think that I ought to be quoted as calling that advantage as equal to a reinforcement of 40,000 men under all possible cirourastances.--L or g ,se an hopes miscellanies, .... MAGAZINE DAY Blackwood. The first article is o❑ " Progress in China,' , and continues the subject commenced before. In intro ducing the question the writer remarks that, "it would have required many cycles of Cathay to bring to the councils of the Court of Pekin the enlighen merit we have alluded to in our last number, if the population over which it ruled had not threatened to outstrip the Government in the adoption of European ideas." Then follows a detailed account of proceedings, and an interesting commentary on various plans that have been adopted, making on the whole a highly instructive paper. The spirit which animates the writer is certainly that of pro gress, and hence it is peculiarly adapted to its subject, concerning, as it does, one of the most adventurous feats of Englishmen in pursuing their course of conquest and extending their wide-spread com merce: As it has been said— In the days of Queen Victoria see they have borne her sway, From the far Atlantio islands to the Island of Cathay. The conclusion of this article is worthy of notice, and thus forcibly sums up its several arguments "England for years has spent wealth, energy, and pre cious lives in opening China to Western influence and civi lisation. To-day, her success is certain. The Govern ment and people of China both ask us to aid them in their hour of trouble, and in return they will assuredly grant us that access and commercial freedom for which we have so long laboured and so often fought. The portals of ignorance and heathenism are opening. Shall we, who are in the van guard of nations, hesitate? No—assuredly not I Our motto must ever be ' Forward ;' and will not all enlightened i.hristendom join us in wishing ' God s?eed' to those about to put forth in this fresh enterprise to the land of Cathay ? " The most brilliant essay in this periodical is un questionably that on " Henri Lacrdaire." It is a criticism on the life and works of one who would have been celebrated in any age or country, and whose career has been worthily set forth in the writings of his friend and colleague Montalembert. The arti.3l• b.foro ua t.dx.a up this theme in the right spirit, allowing for the partialities, perhaps for the prejudices of sect, in the true Christian idea of tolerance, and recognising the splendid gifts of intellect and imagination with that comprehensive recognition which makes thewhole world kin, and rejoices to find in its brother men a superior donation of heaven, un trammelled by the fetters of dogmas and the divi sions of creed. It is truly observed that "there are few of the leaders or servants of the public who interest the general mind so profoundly as the great preacher whose fame reaches the humblest as well as the most exalted, and within the reach of whose influence, more or less, an entire generation passes." This immense power, so often neglected, sometimes abused, is yet ever and anon, illumed acid immor talised by some master spirit, who rightly appre ciates his heavenly mission on a sinful earth, and strives to the utmost to bring nearer to their God the erring children of the Fall. Throughout the whole of this memoir here eloquently epitomised, the in terest never flags, but carries the reader on to wonder, to admire, and to regret the fitful career so earnestly maintained in its unity of seal, of sacrifice, andof devotion. Strange as it may appear Lacordaire was in early life an infidel, led away by the sophis tries of his infidel age he stumbled on the threshold of existence, but soon regained his footing and trod thenceforth undeviatingly the way of life everlast ing." He woke up out of his classic convictions into 1 Christian life, and as soon as he believed, with characteristic promptitude devoted himself to the service of religion." An interesting point here met with is the account of the trials in which he became involved in revolutionary Paris. Out of all these conflicts the young aspirant came out victorious. On one occasion when an " avo cat du roi" called him and his fellows the agents of a foreign power, Lacordaire cried "We are the ministers of One who is nowhere a stranger; of God." This impressed all who heard him, and when before the tribunal he again astonished his auditory by his combined simplicity and dignity. One passage is worthy of mention from its freedom and fearlessness:— "' I rise,' he says "with a recollection that will not leave me. When the priest in former days rose amid the people, something which excited a profound love rose at the same time with him. Now, accused as 1 am, I know that my name of priest is mute for my defence, and I am re signed to it. The people deprived the priest of that ancient love which they bore him, when the priest deprived himself of an august part of his character—when the man of God ceased to be the man of freedom. I never knew freedom better,' he continues, with a burst of professional enthu siasm, ' than the day when I received, with the sacred unc tion, the right of speaking of God. The universe opened before me, and I learned that there was in man something inalienable, divine, eternally free —speech I The message of the priest was confided to me, and I was told to bear it to the ends of the world without any one having the right to seal my lips a single day of my life. I went out of the temple with these grand doctrines, and I met upon the threshold law and bondage I ' " It is a strange thing that the first time Lacordaire appeared as a preacher he failed, and some one went so far as to say that he was a man of talent, but could never be a preacher. Some years after the walls of Notre Dame re-echoed to his eloquence, and the archbishop saluted him as the new prophet. The succeeding descriptions of this eventful lite art, worthily set forth, and bring us to the crowning point of his success, " the great victory which shalt immortalise his name," according to Montalembert, when he made " his monkish frock splendid with the eloquence of a voice worthy of the old renow❑ of the French pulpit," and finally gained his point and carried the day for his country and his religion. After the coup d'etat his work was over; he had to endure silence and inaction for speech and earnest effort. The bright faith of such a lite was pre eminently manifest in the time of death. His end is thus touchingly described by his friend : " It was from Soraye he came, in his dominican frock, to receive from the French Academy ' the noblest recotu 'Anse which can, in our days, crown a glorious and inde pendent life.' He sat one day only in that illustrious as sembly, where he appeared, as he himself said, as 'the symbol of freedom accepted and fortified by religion.' This last honour was the last public event which occurred in his life. He went tack laureated for his dying, and ended his life in Soraye, after a painful illness—so far as we are fib's to make out, for M. de Montalembert is indistinct in the matter of dates —in the winter of 1861. It is the first time that my body has resisted my will,' he said, with a half playful melancholy, in the midst of his sufferings, and died exclaiming, 'My God, open to me, open to me l' with a sublime simplicity. God opened t him, and his agitations were over. Whether on the other side of that wonderful gateway he m ght discover that his monkish frock was less worth fighing for than it appeared, who can inquire? He lived a lite lull of worthy labour and service, and doubtless found his reward." At the conclusion of this article some comparison is instituted between Lacordaire and Irving. It is stated that no two men could be more unlike, but both agreed in this, that something had to be done our of the common to rouse the sluggish heart of the time. Let us, exclaims the writer, "build the sepul chres of those prophets, whom our fathers, by their apathy and indifference drove into such a noble desperation. We too, doubtless, will do our share of the same work. Yet it is a kind of penitence of humanity for its ever-recurring mistakes, and misconceptions which prompts one generation to decorate the tombs ioto which the sins of a former:ge neration have urged and driven the not perfect, vet I , oble dead." " Lady Morgan's Memoirs" furnishes a pleasing paper for perusal, and " A Sketch from Babylon" brings to a triumphant conclusion that complicated and contused story. Some of the vices and follies of these latter days are ably exposed in the author's satirical vein, and a striking tale is compiled out of the wrecks and ruins of society and its erring members. " Caxtoniana " continues its thoughtful routine, and again considers " Motiv. Pow r." 'nem are some very entertaining and 4:tidying discourses and discussions met with in his !i,taluant. The last article . is called 6 4 Politics a , Home and Abroad." It, of course, enters upon ear sorts of topics past, present, and to come. The most delightful prospects appear before the writer in the vista of the picture, be slates • that "the gains and losses at the elections, since the last change of Ministry, show a net balance of ten seats in favour of the Conservative party," and from thence augurs the most propitious auspices "that the Conservative party may find its last difficulties vanquished before t quits its present position on the Opposition, nenches, and enters upon the pleasurable responsi lilities of office which so soon await it, and of which .. promises to have a long term." Certainly, t h is seems hopeful enough, for those who desire a change OM tillulstrrs, and time (July C4D prove Whether um no them) bright prophecies will meet with luifilment, or be overtaken with failure. The Dublin Unzversity. " The House by the Churchyard," which has long formed an attraction of this magazine, and interested by its exciting paged so many of its readers, is com pleted this month. It ends in 1. satisfactory man nery, only too well, it is ,to be feared, for real life, in which delinqueuts do not Bo readily meet the deserved doom of their iniquity. There are a great many charactersintroduced into this story, and some of them are very ably depicted. They are of all shades, too, so that any reader can choose his own style of favourite easily enough. For a specimen of old Irish life, full of stir, and replete with excite ment, this tale may long be referred to. There are some " Verses on the R9V. E. Coleridge," by Mrs. Norton, which refer to her sons. They are in no way remarkable for merit, but seem the natural expression of deep feeling, and express the sad state of one whose " task and hope are gone," as she mournfully exclaims. " Voltaire in London, Circy, Potsdam, Ferney—Death," concludes the career of this wonderful man. Great pains have been taken by the writer with his subject, and the result is satisfactory in affording us an insight into the life of one who is well worthy of notice and study. The accounts of his last hours are very im pressive, and there seems great force in the remark that the details of his last hours, as sketched in the Life of Condorcet, were not altogether authen tic, as they came from a prejudiced source. It is a strange thing that Voltaire died just one year be fore the great French Revolution, after which period ho would, of course, have received a majestic inter ment. However, this ovation was only delayed. His last words were addressed to his valet, " Adieu, mon cher Morand, je me meure." Thus rested at last the old poet-philosopher, " fatigued with glory," to use the words of Miguet. It is hardly necessary to add that he was refused burial in Paris, or that his body wee clandestinely conveyed at night by his nephew, the Abbe Mignot, for sepulture in the monastery over which he presided, where it re mained until July, 1791 ; when it was conveyed to the Pantheon, "The St. Denis of the Kings of Thought," accompanied by the greatest cosmopo litan assemblage that ever fo lowed the bier of a • great man, since Caesar was borne to the pyre in the Campus Martins of old Rome. "Little Flaggs, the Almshouse Foundling," is continued, and there is more incident met ,with in this instalment. It is evident that the unfortunate heroine is doomed to serious trouble in her future life, as there is some dark mystery going on in the interior of the " Halt ing Place." This story will most probably partake of the sensation style now so very prevalent. " The Life, Eccentricities, and t iterature of George Sand" is an article that contains some reasonable remarks on the character and conduit of that strange and gifted individual. After criticising some of her chief works, the following observations are made on her style :—'' It is profoundly to be re gretted that the finest productions of an author exhibiting her imaginative and eloquent powers in their perfection, were devoted to the upholding of unholy love, and to determined assaults on the bulwarks of social order and family happiness." Also it states that whenever this authoress consults the dictates of her better feelings and judgment she is sure to produce the happiest effects, " and all touched with such charms of a sweet and rich and glowing style as we rarely see from the pen of any other novelist." On the other hand, whenever she fixes her thoughts on any wrongs sustained by her self or any other gifted woman from talented and capricious men, " adieu to anything edifying, or consoling, or commonly moral in her next publica tion. Probably she has no ill intention, but her own or her friend's wrongs make her unscrupu lous, and she enters into details, and uses language which, coming from the mouth of a refined lady in a mixed company, would astonish many of her hearers." Tnis essay certainly maintains tie "juste milieu ;" and while it awards due praise to the merits, it justly censures the errors of one who so often has perverted her great powers to an unworthy end. " The Actual Posture of Irish Interests," is a suggestive paper which will afford lo,d for rake tion to those immediately concerned. At the con clueion we meet with-k e on the earl duct of the Government, who, " influenced by private considerations and a powerful clique, are standing in the way of advancement, by denying so small a boon es the Galway Subsidy." After discussing the question a litt.e further it adds justly enough that because one Government made the arrangement, another declines to confirm it, " though the Irish members of the legislature al most to a man of every party appealed to the Pre mier on the subject, and received a conditionally favourable reply ; bi,t the Post office authorities, the bankrupt experimentalists, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Radical retrenchment men have confederated themselves, and have been able up to this moment to withhold from the country its rights and arrest the most hopeful scheme ever devised for its commercial nd social welfare. All unprtjudided persons agree with us as to the justice of the claim, and the importance of the undertaking." ['here is a paper on " Modern Preaching as an art and an ialuence," which presents us with some suggestions of improvement that are worth consi dering, and it would be well if some high in autho- city in ecclesiastical dignity would consider them in the spirit in which they are offered. Fraser's Magazine. Fraser opens with an account of " Wand er ings in West Africa," which seems of late to have be come a fashionable locality for tourists and essay writers. Lady Morgan's autobiography receives a somewhat severe though not unjust criticism, in which comfortable anachromisms and solecisms are ruthlessly exposed in a manner little flattering to the lively old lady who liked to be admired even at eight 3 -five. Tee " White Republican," whose views on the great American struggle are pretty well known, gives us a paper on " Negroes and Slavery in the United States," in which of course the " domestic institution" appears in very favourable colours. We must coufe a our views as to the principle of " involuntary servitude" are un changed by his fascinating pictures, however true may be his assertion of the inability of the negro to take care of himself. It is undoubtedly a difficult ques tion, and one little likely to be soived by PLesident Lincoln's proclamation, butit is much to be regretted that the Southerners and their adherents chow 0 ° inclination to admit the desirability of change or the least intention to contemplate the most gradual emancipation. Our old acquaintance A. K. H. I 3• takes up the cause of injured authors, and attacks with due severity the impertinent interference of editors and collectors with our good ola English poets. It is certainly very tantalising to take up some modern volume of selections, and find our old friends whose every line is treasured as " house hold words," touched up by the hand of some pre sumptuous modern, whose taste is to be thought fat better than that of the grand old masters— " Whose distant footsteps echo Through the corridors of time." That enterprising traveller, Mbiti Frances Cobboo gives us a narrative of a day spent ou the gloomy shores of the Dead Sea; and the thoughtful and cultivated writer who adopt; the pseudonym of Shirley, pays homage to the abilities of Robert Browning. Though the reader may probably cLif" ter from his estimate of the poet (and more especially demur to the place assigned him above the Liureate), the criticism afforos some pleasant rota' mg.
