Notwithstanding that we had anticipated and prepared for an immense circulation, the demand on Tue-day was at once so rapid that the whole of our first impression was exhausted within a few hours after we went to press.

The news from America is nothing remarkable, but it is worthy of notice how the tide of affairs is progressing. The Confederates are still maintaining their supremacy. Their successes at sea are some thing amazing, and all fresh news but bears evi dance to their indomitable energy and perseverance. The Federals are continuing their operations against Vicksburg, but it is evident that all their boasted advantages will turn out to be of no avail when they are put to the proof. The affair at Charleston is significant. We heard enough a little while ago of what• they were to do in that locality, but day after day goes by, and nothing is done. It is always the way with those who feel that they have no real security in actions to talk the more of what they can and will do. Experience, however, teaches very differently. The Confederates always shine in making the most of alverse circumstances, and also improving every advantage. Thus we learn that they have already turned to good account the capture of the Queen of the West, having captured with it the Ft deral steamer Indianola. The active spirit that is manifested is such enterprises speaks well for future endeavours, and is the best surety of a pros- perous fina!e to the long struggle. The real source o strength is in the belief of capability, and in this the Confederates have always enjoyed the advan tage. As we anticipated, the PRESIDENT has not allowed the Congress to separate so soon as was supposed. It is hopeless to try and serve some people, hence Mr. SUMNER has moved a series of resolutions, rejecting the proposal of a mediation, as suggested by the French Goverment. He goes so far as to regret "that foreign Powers have not I frankly informed the Southern States that the work in which they are engaged is hopeless." When w e are told in so many words that is " an unfriendly act" to mediate, it is evident that this apparent indignation is only a proof of weak. if we look at it in the right light. How, sense, can it be unfriendly in the name of common to try and stop bloodshed and suffering of no or; inary kind ? It is on l y the effort to keep up ap pearances, which, lik e a ll other efforts of the sort, will not avail when the fatal truth is known. With Lord LYONS' communications before us, however, stating that " the pay o f the army is six months in arrear," we draw a very different conclusion to what Mr. SEWARD would have us arrive at. It is a sad thing when people will shut their eyes to the truth. The aw'ikPning is only more hitter afterwards, and so it, will be with the Federals. Hod they openly agreed to the separation which must sooner or later take place, how different would every thing have been. Now they have ti:awn the eyes of all Europe upon them, only to show their inefficiency in war, and th,‘ir faulty arrangements in domestic matters. Nothing can surprise us nowadays, but it is et probable that before long we shall nes3 bear tidings that Mr. LINCOLN has beepeed to give up his vaunted independence of tone to wards those who only seek to do him a service, and through him to further the interests of the mighty) nation whose destinies he for the moment sways and of his dealings with which he cannot render us at all a satisfactory account. If ever nation has had inducements to transform itself from a monarchy into a republic, it is the Greek nation nowadays. Several months have now elapsed since, in sheer disgust and exhaustion, it threw off the yoke of its faineant King OTHO and its intriguing Queen AMELIA; and, to this moment, it has failed entirely in all its multifarious attempts to induce any one of the European Princes to accept the questionable boon of the proffered Sove reignty. England, Belgium, even France, to say no thing of divers among the scarcely recognised Prince lings of Germany, have in turn but looked askance at the vacant throne and the bauble symbols beside it. If ever that dolefully vibrated scrap of latinity might be justifiably quoted anew, it would be now —the dreadful " Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes." The dona now being the empty Crown and the long impugned and neglected sceptre ! The PRINCE ALFRED, Second sou of England and Heir Presumptive of the Ducal diadem of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, disdains to give the proffered allegianee one serious thought of acceptance. His uncle, the reigning Duke of the last-mentioned principality— the Serene Highness whom his Royal Highness is to succeed—does give the offered crown of Greece a thought, it is true—but his deliberation only leads to his rejection of it. The Prince of LEININ GEN son of the half brother of our gracious QUEEN--thinks no otherwise. When placed within his reach the opportunity has no temptations. The Prince of LEININGEN prefers to wear his epaulettes as a Captain in the English Royal Navy, to don the ermine and the purple, or at any rate to be lifted up on the shield of the Greek Sovereignty. The Second Son of Belgium arrives no less naturally or less promptly at the same conclusion. The Prince NAPOLEON still pre fers to cast a sidelong look to the chance of a diadem that may just possibly, he conceives, be picked up somewhere, somehow, sometime, in the midst of the Italian, or it might be even in the thick of the Polish confusion. And now what is the imminent possibility at Athens— the imminent possibility resulting from these re peated and certainly irritating refusals? Why— not that the Greeks, not that even Athenians turn from the thought of a King to that of a Republic ! Saith one of the last rumours coming to us from the Piraeus, "It is currently ,believed that CALERGI, one of the three new Dictators, will pass into King under the aegis of the Emperor of the FRENCH." From King Log, 'yolepped OTHO, to King Stork, surnamed CALERGI, it may really turn out that there is no wider a step there than is proverbially even between the sublime and the ridiculous. Every day the Polish insurrection gathers fresh strength and importance. It is no longer the un calculating and undisciplined outbreak of a few unarmed peasants—it is the organised uprising of an outraged people, resolved once for all to wrest their liberties from the grasp of their oppressors. The aspect of affairs has rapidly changed in the last few weeks, and whatever the eventual result may be, it is clear that there is no fear of an immediate Russian triumph, since the insurgents are taking steps which prove their confidence in their resources and their prospects. General LAN QIEWICZ is appointed Dictator of the kingdom, an office for which he would seem to be fitted, not only by his military talents and successful gene ralship, bat by his political sagacity and prudence. His old companion in arms—no less a celebrity than GARIBALDI—having offered him the aid of his dauntless sword, Gen. LANGIEWICI has though it more prudent to decline the offer for the time. While thanking, with due cordiality and gratitude, the generous chief, who had himself organised a successful revolution, and exercised the authority of a dictatorship, the Polish General pointed out to him the urgent need there was of pressing every class of Pole into the cause, and the risk of alarming some cautious or timid spirits by the sound of that ter rible name which is looked upon as the watchword of revolution. The prudence of this reply, if true, was not, we may hope, assisted by any personal jealousy. The dignified and patient attitude of the Poles has long excited the admiration of Europe, and it is doubtless wise to preserve the national individuality of the revolt, instead of allow ing it to be regarded by the lovers of order as merely a fresh development of democratic restlessness and insubordination. Such can scarcely be the case now. The efficiency and authority of the Polish Governments may bear comparison with the stern discipline of the CZAR himself. A civil Government has been appointed with regular official functions. An orderly sys tem of recruitment has been organised throughout the entire kingdom. Disobedience to the conscrip- tion is to be punished with death, but there will be little need to fulfil this threat when 100,000 recruits are impatiently awaiting their admission to the ranks, and are only kept in forced inaction by the lack of arms. This difficulty, however, is not likely to be of long duration. Arms are constantly being smuggled across the Austrian and Russian frontiers, and very recently a large quantity of arms which were being seoretly conveyed into Servia fell into the hands of the insurgents. All over the country a postal service has been established, which transmits intelligence with surprising accuracy and promptitude. Every landed proprietor is compelled to keep two horses ready saddled day and night for this service. Meanwhile the constantly increasing number of the resignations show that the wavering classes are beginning to join the revolutionary standard. The insults offered by the Russians to the national churches have en listed the Catholic clergy on the side of the insur gents. The resignation of the Archbishop of WARSAW, if the rumour prove correct, will, doubtless, be the forerunner of many another secession. It is reported, wo know not with what truth, that the EMPEROR would be glad to come to a compromise, and to restore the charter of Poland, for the inefficiency of his troops, in face of the insurgents, is becoming daily more manifest. Wholesale embezzlement is said to be going on in the Russian commissariat department, while the falsehoods published in the official reports afford a very convenient shelter to the defaulters. Meanwhile the European feelings on the sub ject have not changed. France and England are still warmly sympathetic, whatever their leaders may be. To-morrow is, strangely enough, appointed for a public demonstration in both countries. In the city o f L ondon a meeting is to be held under the preside ncy of the LORD MAYOR, expressive of sympathy with Pol an d, and recommending the Government to withdraw its countenance from Rus sia under existing circumstances. We shall reserve any consideration of the resolutions to be proposed at this meeting until they have b een duly advocated by the time respectiven of speakers,the meeting merely obs erv i ng t h at the the h jeet priate for the expression of the views of a free ' people. _ . _ In France, by a singular coincidence, the report of the committee on the patition in favour of Poland will be discussed in the Senate to• morrow, when the warm feelings of our excitable neighbours will find vent. The con clusions at which the committee have arrived are that the Government of the EMPEROR may be trusted to do all that is just, possible, and politic in favour of Poland. We trust it may be so, and that the joint remonstrance of France and England, who will possibly find it easier to advocate the rights of the winning side, joined to the ominous successes of an insurrectionary movement which has already accredited official agents to all foreign Governments, may bring the CZAR and his advisers to reason. The mutual distrust so widely spread throughout the Russian troops, from the highest officer to the humblest Cossack, shows that they are becoming sensible of the weakness of their cause. The general aspect of affairs, then, encourages the friends of Poland to hope that whatever be the termina tion of the struggle it can scarcely leave that once great and flourishing country in the darkness and desolation in which it has lain since 1832. FRENCH GALLERY, PALL-MALL, ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHS. A highly-interesting collection of photographs of the English, Danish, and Belgian Royal families has just been opened at the above rooms by Mr. Ghemar, the well-known photographic artist of the King of the Belgians. These portraits contain many of the first " Cartes de Visits" of the Pi incess Alexandra which were exhibited in England, and others of the Danish Royal f•:mily that are now shown here for the first time. They are all characterised by great force as well as delicacy. The most striking feature, however, of the collection is Mr. Gheinar's new in vented process by which he can expand cartes de visite to life size, and thus supply to portrait painters a veritable foundation for works of art. The specimens he gives of this process are all very interesting—especially those of the King of the Belgians and the Princess Alexandra, the portrait of the latter being reproduced by himself in chalk, and presenting one of the most charming ideas of the Princess which the public has yet enjoyed. On account of this portrait alone we warmly recom mend a visit to this collection. A subscription having been raised among the children of Windsor for the purchase of a present to the Princess of Wales, a very handsome Bible and Prayer-book were purchased and forwarded to Mrs. Bruce on Tuesday morning for presentation to the Princess. They were bound in ivory, with gilt and turquoise ornaments. In reply to the Vicar Mrs. Bruce says that she is desired by the Princess of Wales to ask him to convey to the chil dren her Royal Highness's thanks for the present, which her Royal Highness will always keep in remembrance o them, and of the brightest days of her life. The list of candidates for election into the Royal Society for the present session is closed. The number of names " up" is 45. FATHER MATHEW.—Mr. J. F. Maguire, M.P., is now engaged in writing a life of Father Mathew, which will appear in the autumn. A SERVANT'S CHARACTER.—At the Salford Court of Record, on Saturday, before Mr. J. Kay, judge, an action was tried in which Ann Butler, formerly a ser vant in the service of Mr. John Fairweather, residing at Merrion Place, Higher Broughton, sought to recover damages from that gentleman for giving her an unsatisfac tory character. Mr. J, Holker, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated that she was in the service of the defendant as cook, and he dismissed her on the ground of general misconduct and dishonesty. She was given into custody, but the charge against her could not be substantiated. The plaintiff then commenced an action against the defendant for false imprisonment, and the eause came on for hearing in that court on the 15th April, 1862. Before the plaintiff's case had been completed, a verdict was taken by consent for £6 is. so :as to carry costs, and the defendant's counsel agreed, on the part of the defendant, that the plaintiff should have such a character given her as would enable her to obtain another situation. It was understood between the counsel that if the case had gone on the plaintiff would, in all probability, have recovered a larger sum. Shortly after this action—on the 7th of May—the defen dant gave the plaintiff the following character a—" To all whom it may concern. This is to certify that Ann Butler served with me as cook from November, 1861, to January, 1862. I believe her to be honest, and a moderate good cook." With this character, the plaintiff endeavoured to obtain several situations, but could not succeed. Her solici tors applied to the defendant for one of a more satisfactory nature. Another character was given, not written by the defendant, but by some other member of the family, and, as it did not state that the plaintiff was " honest," it was not satisfactory. Plaintiff's solicitor then gave notice to the defendant that, unless a satisfactory character was given within a week, this action would be brought; and the appli cation not being replied to, proceedings were commenced on Dec. 22.—Several witnesses were called, who proved this statement. —For the defence, it was contended by Mr. J. Edwards, that the agreement to give the plaintiff a charac ter, on the occasion of the first action, was after the jury had given their verdict, and not before, and that the pro mise was fully carried out by the character given on the 7th May.—The Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £5, and the Judge certified for costs en the higher scale. THE REAL CAUSE OF THE OVERCROWDING ON THE DAY OF THE ROYAL RECEPTION.—Had the whole of the civic cavalcade been allowed to proceed as an escort from the Bricklayers' Arms to Paddington, it is fair to presume there would have been no extra crowding and painful delay at any point in the whole route. The confu sion evidently arose in consequence of the changing, de taching, and shunting. The narrowest and most crowded parts of the metropolis were those selected by a wise Government for taking on and detaching the civic escort; and :so there were, in places where to assemble a crowd is to put human life in jeopardy, additional attrac tions and causes of popular excitement. The Corporation, honourably jealous of their rights, as well as conscious of their power, had wellnigh withdrawn from the procession altogether, and the nation owes it a debt of gratitude for compelling the Ministry to submit, by the threat of a re fusal to take any part in the proceedings unless it could lead the way. If the Ministry had carried out their ori ginal plan, the probability is that there would have been a riot. But it succeeded so far in limiting the action of the Corporation as to place the Prince and Princess in danger, by compelling the civic escort to join with the Royal car riages on London-bridge and quit them at Temple-bar, the two most dangerous points in the whole line of the Royal progress. Next time the Corporation offer to conduct Royal personages through the City we trust it will be the fixed determination of the civic representatives to have the whole charge of the affair within metropolitan limits, or to leave the Ministry to work out the problem at their own cost, as they please. This can be reasonably insisted on, because the Corporation is the only public body in al Lon don possessing the materials of pageantry.—City Press. SUPPOSED MURDER.—Last Thursday morning the body of a woman was found in the furnace-room of a malt kiln at Whittlesey, in the Isle of Ely, burnt almost to a cinder. She was found to have her arm and two or three ribs broken. The body was identified as that of Elizabeth Brown, aged 37, the daughter of a labourer, by her keys and a ring she wore made of buffalo horn. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who was of dissipated habits, had been drinking all the night before at the George and Star publiehouse with John Green, a young married man, who left the house with her at half past 1 o'clock in the morning, and proceeded with her to wards the kiln. At a quarter before 6 in the morning Green was seen going to his own house. Suspicion at present falls on him. The inquiry was adjourned till Thursday next. TAKEN ABACK.—The learned teacher of a sun ' day-school in the North, was one day, lately, en deavouring to prove to the pupils the existence of a Divine Being, as illustrated by the peculiar adaptation of the structure of every animal to the country and climate it was destined to inhabit. After lecturing for some time upon this subject, he exclaimed, with much eloquence, " But why go to the icy poles or to the burning plains of Africa for examples to prove this important subject? Is not man himself an excellent example of the power and wisdom of the Divine hand ? Had he been born with a fleece upon his bask, it is true be might have been comforted by its warmth in the icy regions of the north, but what would have become of him in tropical countries, or under the equator ?" One of the pupils thinking the last question mo re especi ally directed to himself, answered, with evident simplicity, " They could clip him." —John o'Groat Journal. " GOLDEN BALL."—The obituary records the death at St. Germains, of Mr, Edward Hughes Ball Hughes, who has long resided in that suburban retreat. In the days of George IV. Ball Hughes, or Golden Ball, as he was called, was one of the leading dandies of a period which immediately followed that of Beau Brummell. Ball Hughes figured in the best society of London, among whom his fortune and favourable personal appearance made him a welcome guest. One evening at the Italian Opera the audience were disappointed at the non-appearance of the celebrated dancer of the day, Mademoiselle Mercandotti, who had unexpectedly become the wife of Ball Hughes. They departed for the continent, and from that time the Golden Ball was heard no more of in the circles of fashion in London.—.3lornin, .Pose. -Vorl-Ar zurt :Tr- Cirmlar 4` HER MAJESTY.

We have received Calcutta papers to the Bth ult. There is very little news, as will be seen by the fol lowing summary from the Bengal Hurkaru:— " The great local event of the last few days has beLn the departure of the Viceroy for the Upper Pro vinces. His Excellency left on the morning of Thursday last, end reached Benares on the evening of Friday. Yesterday a Durbar was held, and the din ner given by the railway authorities came off, at which the Viceroy was present. The Lieutenant- Governor joined the Viceregal party at Dina pore, and proceeded to Benares with it, in order to be present at the Darbar,:&c. He is expected to return to the Pre sidency about the 15th inst. The Bengal Council has latterly met only once a fortnight instead of weekly, and the session is expected to come to a close in this month. Sir C. Trevelyan seem to have got fairly to work, and various reports, more or less authentic, are afloat as to his policy. The income tax, it we may credit rumour, is doomed, but we are not so sanguine as a daily oontemporary appears to be upon this point. A report has been prevalent during the last few days that the Government in tended to pay off a portion of the 4 per cent. loan, but we havebeen unable to trace the rumour to anyauthen tic source. The spirit of revolt appears to be spread. ing on our North-East frontier, and what at first promised to be easily suppressed is every day pre senting new difficulties. It has been found necessary to organise a system of locomotion for the troops and material, and much delay and difficulty is caused in consequence of the coolies having ab sconded in a body. Every day lost in striking a decided blow adds fuel as it were to the fire already kindled, but the most strenuous endeavours are being made by the Government to obviate these difficulties." MR. SIMS REEVES.—We have authority to state that the report of this gentleman being seriously ill is altogether without foundation. Mr. Reeves sang at the National Choral Society on Wednesday evening, but was prevented from singing on Thursday night at St. James's Hall by a slight affection of the throat. That there is nothing serious, or approaching to it, in our great tenor's ailment, may be judged from the fact of his announcing his intention to sing this evening at the Monday Popular Concerts. NON-RESIDENT BOROUGH VOTERS,—Mr. Collins' bill, now before the House of Commons, proposes that in all cases the seven miles shall be measured from the boundary of the borough, so that a person may be on the Parliamentary voters' register if he resides within seven miles from any part of the borough. THE CONTEMPLATED CHANGES TN THE CIRCUITS. —The long-contemplated changes in the circuits are at last, we understand, resolved upon. The Northern and Midland circuits will cease to exist under their present appellations. The counties which they traverse are to be distributed among two new circuits :—The Lancashire cir cuit to go to Appleby, Carlisle, Lancaster, Liverpool, and Manchester; and the Yorkshire circuit with the assizes at Newcastle, Durham, and York, with those of Lincoln, Nottingham, and Derby, from the Midland circuit. The remaining places on the Midland circuit—Oakham, Leices ter, Northampton, and Warwick —are to be added to the Norfolk circuit.—lohn Bull. SUPERANNUATIONS AND CHARITIES.—Another portion of the Civil Service Estimates has been printed, and shows a decrease of £11,253 as compared with last year, the amount falling from £338,896 to £327,643. The principal vote is of £176,462 for the superannuations and compensation allowances of the public offices and de partments; the new allowances appearing now for the first time on the estimate amount to £12,038 a-year. The vote for the Dublin hospitals is to be the same as usual,—namely, £15,845,—the sum recommended by the commission of inquiry appointed in 1855. The Regium Donum is in creased from £39,747 to £40,278, there being eight new grants to ministers at £69 4s. Bd. each, making the whole number endowed 555. SUICIDE OF A TRADESMAN IN A CHAPEL.—On Saturday morning information was received by Mr. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, that Mr. Thomas Red man, aged 60, a tradesman at Deptford, had committed suicide in the Wesleyan chapel of that town. It appears that the deceased, who was a builder, was engaged in effect ing some alteration in the ceiling of the chapel, and left home as usual, shortly after six in the morning, to perform his work. About nine o'clock his son entered the chapel to assist him, when he discovered his father suspended from a scaffold pole by a strong cord, which he had tied tightly round his neck. On being cut down and medical assistance procured life was pronounced to have been extinct some time. The body now awaits an inquest. EMIGRATION FOR COTTON OPERATIVES. The Carlisle Relief Committee have at present under their consideration the subject of emigration for cotton ope ratives. A week or two ago some letters were received by the Carlisle Committee from Mr. Selfe, the London magis trate, suggesting that if any of the Carlisle cotton operatives would be suitable emigrants for New Zealand they should apply to Mr. Walcott for leave to participate in the £lO,OOO grant made for that purpose, and stating that he himself, as agent for the province of Canterbury in that colony, had in his hands the sum of £5OO, which he thought would be , better employed in assisting distressed operatives to end. grate, by paying their fare to the port of erabatcation and defraying the cost of their outfits, than if it were I frittered away in temporary relief. The Carlisle Committee I have had the question underdiscussion two weeks, but doubt I exists whether the cotton operatives of Carlisle would be suitable emigrants. At the meeting of the committee on Wednesday night, however, the Dean of Carlisle stated hat he had received applications from 35 heads of families, including 176 persons, all of whom were anxious to avail themselves of the privilege. Most of the wen on the list were described as labourers and weavers combined, some of them working as agricultural labourers in the summer and weaving in the winter, and others devoting much time to gardening. It was resolved to forward this list to Mr. Walcott, with a description of the qualifications of each, in order that it might be ascertained if these were suitable men. Until this answer is received no further applications are to be entertained. Towards the end of last year the inhabitants of Leipsic sent to Garibaldi a wreath in silver as a token of their admiration and sympathy. Garibaldi has written the following acknowledgment:—" Y ur wreath and the verses which accompany it—evidences of the sym pathy of the Germans with Italian affairs and with Italian liberty—have caused me much delight. All peoples have the same interests, and cannot be hostile towards each other. They clearly understand this truth ; facts prove it more and more every day, and when this truth is thoroughly under stood the liberty of Europe will be established. Receive my thanks and a shake of the hand.—GAßlßALDL—Ca prera, Feb, 16, 1863. M. Goat, tax-receiver residing at Londinieres (Seine-hforieure), has during the last season been amusing himself with a field sport, which would fill English sportsmen with indignation—the destruction of foxes by means o f t err i ers. A few d ays s ince he killed six old foxes, two males and four females, with their cubs, making together 24, and which number, added to the re sults of previous sport, wake 68 destroyed.

" HARRIS." THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will leave Osborne for Windsor and London to-morrow (Tuesday), crossing to Portsmouth in her Majesty's screw yacht Fairy at 11 a.m. It was uncertain at Portsmouth yesterday evening whether their Royal Highnesses would land from the Fairy on the Gosport or Portsmouth side of the harbour. Existing arrangements were for the Prinoe and Princess to land at the Royal Clarence-yard on the Gosport side, the route the Queen usually takes in her journeys to and from Osborne, but the Town-council and Corporation of Portsmouth had preferred a respectful re quest that their Royal Highnesses would honour the an cient town and the military and naval services, which it to a certain degree represents, by landing there on arrival from Osborne ; and, although no definite answer had been received, ,from the Sunday intervening, it was hoped and believed that their Royal Highnesses would include Ports mouth in the list of towns gladdened by their presence. To-day the Town-council hold a meeting to frame a suit able address for presentation to the Prince and Princess on their arrival. HEALTH OF PRINCE ALFREIL—Prince Alfred, we are glad to state, continues to progress favourably. His Royal Highness is expected to be fully restored to health very shortly, when he will proceed to England overland. Amongst the numerous inquiries after his Royal Highness's health was one by telegraph from the Emperor of the French.—Malta Times. It is understood that her Royal Righnees the Princess Christian of Denmark intends honouring with her presence the performances at the Royal English Opera, Covent-garden, this evening. Princess Mary of Cambridge, Princess Dagmar, Prince William of Denmark, and suite, attended the per formance at the Olympic Theatre on Saturday evening. We are requested to Ave that the Countess of Derby's party announced for Wednesday next, the 18th inst., is unavoidably postponed. The Earl Russell has been suffering front a cold since Friday last, and in consequence was absent from th € . Cabinet Council hold on Saturday. Itt all probability hi s lordship will ho unable to be in his place in the House of Lords at the meeting of the house this afternoon. His Excellency the Earl of Carlisle, who earn e over expressly from Dublin to be present at the espousals of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess oif will leave for Ireland at an early hour this morning to re sume his functions as Lord Lieutenant. -10 RD PALMERSTON'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.— Lord Palmerston, after visiting Glasgow and Greenock on the 30th and 31st of March, is to be entertained to a public dinner by the citizens of Edinburgh on the Ist of April.

The Pasha of Egypt and the Peninsular and Oriental Company, The following report has been forwarded to us for publication : " Cairo, Feb. 20. " Gentlemen,—l have the honour to report to ycu that your deputation, consisting of myself and Messrs. Allan and Olding, reached Alexandria in the Euxine on the 11th inst. " Immediately upon ow arrival we instructed Mr, Be thune (the Company's Superintendent) to communicate to the Government of his Highness the Viceroy the object of our visit, and to ascertain the pleasure of his Highness with regard to our reception. " The answer received from Cairo was to the effect that after our arrival at that place a day would be fixed for the interview, and we were at the same time required to state whether we sought an official or a private one. To this we replied by explaining the nature of our visit, leaving it to his Highness to deciie whether he would receive us at his palace or at the citadel. " Before leaving Alexandria we paid our respects to Mr. Colquhoun, her Majesty's Consul-General, and requested him to present us, but were informed by him that, though nothing would have afforded him greater pleasure than to do so, an engagement at Alexandria, which he could not defer, would prevent him from accompanying our party. He undertook, however, to mention our arrival, and the object of our visit, to his Highness, and recom mended that as he had already presented Mr. Bethune to him he would be a fitting person to undertake that duty for us. We accordingly proceeded with him to Cairo on the 12th inst., his highness having done us the honour to send one of his State carriages for our conveyance. " Upon reaching Cairo we were informed that his high ness had decided (no doubt as a mark of honour to your body) to give us a public reception at the citadel, and that the day which he had fixed upon was Saturday, the 14th inst. At 1 o'clock on that day we accordingly waited upon his highness at the place appointed, and were received by him in a most gracious, I might almost say cordial, manner. " After we had paid him the usual salutations, I read to him your address in English, and then handed it to Nubar Bey, his interpreter, who repeated it in Turkish. Ile lis tened to it with much apparent interest, at its close rtply. ing in a very lively manner ac iUllows:— " 'That be was fully sensible of the MID tOnlig, motives which had influenced the board et directors in sending out a deputation to to nvey to hint the address of congratula tion just read. He more highly appreciated the course which they had thus thought tit to adopt, because he was perfectly aware that they had taken the initiative in making Egypt the highway for the passenger and cargo traffic to the East, and that to them the country was in a great mea sure indebted for ha general commercial relations with Europe and Asia. These relations, created and extended by the Peninsular and Oriental Company, have largely contri buted to the development of the resources of the country which he had been called upon to govern, and to the pros perity of which he was resolved to devote all his efforts and energy. That in extending to the company assistance and protection he felt he should be best studying the interests of Egypt, and they might rely upon his assurance that the Government over which he presided would make it a duty to grant them every facility, which they might also depend upon receiving from himself personally. That the railway was not yet in the state of perfection which he could wish, but that the gentlemen of the deputation would, no doubt, concur with him in attributing this to the newness of the undertaking, and understand that at the commencement of such operations complete satisfaction in all the working details could hardly be expected. He was determined, how ever, to give his attention to that important enterprise, and to do all in his power to promote the comfort and rapidity of the transit. In conclusion, he begged to repeat that the company might always rely upon his support, and requested the gentlemen of the deputation to convey his best thanks to the Court of Directors for this mark of their attention.' " The above were, as nearly as we could recollect, the exact terms in which his highness expressed himself, and I can only add, with reference to his mode of doing so, that it expressed even more eloquently than his words the good feeling which he entertains towards the company.—l am, &c., " P. D. HADOW, Deputy Chairman. "To the Board of Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, London." HOW TO MAKE A BONFIRE. The bonfire at Aldershot on Tuesday last, which, in all probability, was the largest in England, deserves more than a passing notice. During the preceding week a strong party of the Military Train had been constantly employed in con veying to the brow of Caesar's Camp waggon loads of furze, fir branches, old refuse, and wood of every description, which, under the alternate direction of Col. Clifford and Major Hammersley, Adjutant Quartermaster Generals; Lieut.-C , :l. Lennox and Captain Ross, Deputy Adjutant Quartermaster Generals, and Captain Hale, 26th Regiment, were built up in the form of a cone, having a base whose circumference was 180 ft. and a height of 50ft. The plan, which was, we believe, suggested by a near relative of Ma jor Hammersley, was, as the result proved, so perfect that it may not be out of place to give a description of it. First, a very stout fir tree, 35k. long, was reared on end, sft. be ing let into the ground, and surmounted by four struts. Around this was stacked the stow er timbers and materials to a height of about 10ft, and to these succeeded fir branches, raising the whole to 15ft. Five lull tar barrels were now secured round the pole with wire, and the stocking (.1 fir and furze bavins was continued to a total height of above 25ft., the whole being pinned vertically with stakes. Four more full tar barre!s were here secured round the pole, and the top of the pile covered with a layer of hurdles pinned with stakes, forming a sort of staging !rem which to take a fresh departure. A topmast of 27ft. in length was now hoisted, and 7ft. of its length secured by wire to the lower pole. Again was the stocking continued, the material being passed up a series of stages erected all round the pile, and occasionally tar barrels were hoisted to the top by means of a purchase secured to the topmast. These were emptied, and their contents allowed to trickle through the inter;er ; 300 gallons were used for this purpose. When the pile had reached a total height of about 45 feet it was carried in, at ter the manner of a top of a sugar loaf, an empty tar barrel was placed on the topmasthead, and a topgallantmast, with a Royal standard nailed to it, was fixed to the topmasthead, the flag waving proudly at a height of 70 feet from the ground below, and at a total height above the sea of 670 feet. Seventy stout fir trees, about 35ft. long, were placed all round the cone, forming, as it were, an outer casing to the bonfire ; these were secured in their places by wires passing all round the pile, each pole being secured to the wires by holdfasts. The bonfire was completed by Monday evening, and was visited on Tuesday by thousands of the inhabitants of the country around, who took advantage of the occasion to examine the construction of a pile the like of which will not in all probability be again seen by the present genera- . tion, and which is calculated to have contained upwards of 42,000 cubic feet of material. A number of men armed with portfires were stationed at intervals around the pile at a few moments before the appointed time for lighting up, and pre cisely at 8 o'clock they plunged their portfires into the mass, which was instantly alight, and the flames rapidly running up the outside, the whole pile was in a sheet of flame in less time than it has taken us to describe the event. The scene at this moment was grand in the extreme. In the centre the flames, rearing their many forked heads to a height of about 70ft. or 80ft., were, owing to a fresh southerly wind, carried clear of the flag, which, brilliantly illuminated, ap peared to look down disdainfully upon the gigantic efforts for its destruction which were being made below. On the plateau forming the top of Csasar's Camp the eye rested on the bright scarlet unforms of some thousands of the troops, who had come up to do honour to the occasion, but on the other hand the steep, receding sides of the camp left a dark ness beyond, which appeared the more intense from the contrast to the now white heat of the blazing mass. For some time it was a matter of doubt whether the flag would be consumed, but gradually, as the lighter materials com posing the bonfire were burnt and the pile sank, it became obvious that the burning of the pole would be the only thing that would bring it down. Now was seen the advantage of the outer casing of fir-poles---they retained the mass in shape. There were no masses of fire tumbling off the top, nor did the cone get out of shape in any way, but it burnt fairly and regularly throughout. One by one the spectators dropped off as the night wore on, leaving only a few who anxiously watched the downfall of the central pole, is the hope of being able to secure even a fragment of the flag which had so gallantly held its own, but even that hope seemed doomed to disappointment, for at 12 o'clock the pile was still blazing nearly as fiercely as ever, and the pole, though out of the perpendicular, seemed likely to hold on to the last, but about 2 o'clock even its great thickness was not proof against the intense heat, and it tell, amid the cheers of the few spectators, who immediately commenced a general scramble for the bunting, each anxious to possess a relic of so auspieous an occasion. The remaining embers were now allowed to slumber undisturbed, and were not thial'y extinguished until about n oon on Wednesday, havin g been alight 28 hours. The weather during the afternoon of Tuesday became very clear, and it was confidently anti cipeted that had it continued the bonfire would have been seen over the greater part of Hampshire, Surrey, and Berk shire, including an area of about 2,000 square miles, but towards 7 o'clock a haze came on which completely obscured obj(cte a few miles off, and rendered other bonfires within a short distance almost invisible, CURIOUS CASE.—We read in a Dublin letter:— "The widow of Mr. Thomas Bradley, who latel) , died possessed of enormous wealth, followed her husband, after a few weeks' illress, yesterday, Her history was curious. She had a lover, whom she stipulated to marry, though his wife was then living, when they should be both freed from legal impediments by the death of their respec tive partners, and in default thereof Mrs. Bradley was to forfeit some thousands of her husband's money, for which she gave a bond. The gentleman, after Mr. Bradley's death, commenced legal proceedings to enforce this bond, the wealthy widow having consented to give her hand and fortune to the son of a peer, the lion. Mr. B. Both the rival suitors are deprived of the magnificent prize by the death of the lady, whose relations will now be likely to share the vast savings of Mr. Uradley." ACCIDENTS AT THE ILLUMINATION, From inquiries instituted at the various metro politan hospitals on Saturday, it would appear that there could have been very little less than one hun dred persons more or less injured; and although the tide of popular opinion appears to attribute these occurrences in the main to the City police mis matingement, it has now been ascertained that that portion of the metropolis under charge of the metro politkin pollee was not without its serious casualties also. The following are the reports upon the sub ject obtained on Saturday from the various hospi tals : ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S.—This noble institution, from ils close proximity to the great seat of pres sure and crowds of vehicles passing through the narrow streets of the City, all wending their way to the great point of attraction, London-bridge, had necessarily to take the lion's share of attention for the victims of any disaster which might happen in such a crowd within the limited confines of the City of London proper. With a praiseworthy foresight, therefore, throughout the evening, there was an avni able medical steff ready for almost any emer gency, and from the number of cases received be tween nine and twelve o'clock, they were kept in full occupation. In addition to the dt ceased per sons on whose bodies inquests have been held, there still remain in St. Bartholomew's Hospital the fol lowing, viz.:— JAn Honey, who was picked out of the heap of persons on the ground near Ludgate-hill, where come of the unfortunate females were killed, has very severe injury to the abdomen, from being trampled upon, but is now reported to be progress ing favourably. Rosetta Lsonc, who was knocked down in the crowd on Saturday and trampled upon, has a (lona - pound fracture of the leg, and ber case is a very doub , ful one. John Nicholls, broken leg. Edward. pp, a compound fracture of the ktnie. George Austin, serious injuries to the back.. James Taylor, broken leg. James White, injury to the head and legs. Thomas Dunkley, broken leg. Frederick Parsons, injury to the head. Wiiiiam Cooper, broken leg. Robert Nesbitt, broken leg. Anne Howkes, injury to knee. The wtio;e of the above, with the exception of Rosetta Lyons, are described to be progressing favourably. There were in addition, however, dur ing the evening of the illuminations, and on the day of the royal procession, at least between 30 and 40 persons taken to St. Bartholomew's, who, having been examined, notwithstanding some had evidently fractured ribs and serious bruises, preferred being conveyed to their own homes. A record of their re spective cases, and the nature of their injuries, is consequently a matter only known to themselves and their private medical attendants. GUY'S.—At this institution there are still x emain ing five persons suffering from very serious, if not, in some instances, fatal injuries. W. J. Harvey, a poor little boy, aged only eight years, and residing in New-street, Hackney-road, was taken by his friends to see the illuminations. In the crush near the Mansion-house he was draggod away from them and thrawn down. He was so frightfully trampled upon that his right hand a nd fore arm were completely smashed and torn to pieces, and his left leg also so crushed and fractured that amputation of both limbs was rendered indis pensable, and was performed almost immediately after admission. The poor child still survives the dreadful shock, but is in great danger. Mr. T. W. Walker, aged 46, silk manufacturer, of the City, but residing at Stamford-hill, has frac tured ribs and serious injury to one of his shoulders, through being forced down, it is believed, on or near London-bridge, and remains exceedingly ill in the hospital. James Dabbs, aged 44, coffeehouse-keeper, of Garden-row, Bridge-road, Victoria-park. Fractures of bones of one of the legs. A bad case. James M'Pherson, aged 30, butcher, residing in the Maldon-road, Kentish town, a broken leg. Margaret Cain', aged 49, residing in Highworth street, Edgware-road, a broken leg ; progressing favourably. There were several other persons with injuries of various kinds taken to Guy's on the night of the illuminations, who, having been attended to, were enabled to proceed to their homes. CHARING-CROSS.-011 the night of Tuesday there were Iteveral persons taken to this hospitai, suffer ing from injuries received in uhe crowds in t he vicinity of Pall-mall, the Haymarket, Regf,Jlt street, Charing-cross, and Whitehall. The most serious which came under the notice of Mr. Travers, he resident surgeon, were— Mary Co, hrane, aged 60. This unfortunate woman was knocked down in the crowd in Pal ma 11 East, and remains in the hospital with a frotnre of the thigh bone of the left leg. She is ilLscri bed as progressing favourably, but her age 10 natiolt against her. Thomas Wilson was received with an injury to the knee, but ultimately was conveyed home. Wm. Alien, of 28, York street, Wesiminster, was received with a fractured rib and injury to the hip and side, but after being attended to was taken to his own residence. Two females were brought in apparently lifeless from suffocation, but they subsequently turned out to be cases of hysteria, caused by the fright e nd pressure they had been subjected to in the crowd. At the Middlesex, St. George's, and Westminster Hospitals, there were some few cases of slight in' jury received and attended to, but none of anY serious character ; and St, Mary's University, and King's College Hospitals were fortunately exempted from any extra pressure upon their medical staffs arising from the Roy al marriage. ANOTHER DEATH FROM STARVATION• On Friday Mr. H. Rallies Walthew, the deputy coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at the British Lion public house, City-road, respecting the death of Emma Smithers, aged five years. John Smithers, of No. 26, President-street, St. Luke's/ stated, that he was an infants' shoemaker, and with his family lived in one room, for which he paid 3s. per week• Ile was only able to earn Is. 6d. per day when in health, but latterly he could not work. 1; eceased bad suffered from a cough, and had had a mixture from chemist. Witness had been compelled to dispose of his furniture and other articles for food for his family, who had suffered great privation, being without animal food for weeks together. They sometimes had dry bread and a little tea. He had had some assistance from the workhouse once , when he received a loaf and ls. from the relieving o fficer, who sent word that he must go into the etoneyard to Work, but he was unable to do so from ill-health. On Wednes' day morning last deceased was found dead upon the rem' nants of an old bed in the corner of the room. He believed that the deceased had died from want and starvation. He was not able to get his family food, and he had a reluctance to apply for relief. Jane Pool, a lodger in the same house, said that she w as called into the apartment on the morning in question, when she found the mother, father, and children lying upon an old bed upon the floor. There was no loud, nor any kind of firing or furniture in the apartment. Th e oe • ceased was quite dead, and had been so some bums, The body was in a complete state of nudity. Witn. ss went to Mr. Lake, Ihe relieving officer at St. Luke's W.i.shouse, who give her some assistance. The family had n :loved by the neighbours. of St. Luke' s , said when he h t, e hr i i e s a to e p h h ed er t\hVerahg,fu,se he found life exti nc t. T he body was perfectly naked, and in an extreme state of emaciation. The whole family were ill a fah:ishing cow' ditiou from extreme destitwion, without any comfort. 11.0 was of opinion that the deceased had died from starvation and the want of the common necessaries of life. The D e puty Coroner said this was the worst case of tli s " tress he had ever met with during the whole of his experi ence. It was to be regretted that the family had not gene to the workhouse, or that the parents had not made a pro' per application for relief, as the life of the unfortunate child might have been saved, The whole of the jury concurred in this view, an d re turned the following verdict :—" That the deceased, being" an infant of tender age, to wit five years, in charge of her parents, was found dead in a bed on the floor of a roam, and that her death was the result of exhaustion, arising from the want of food, which the parents were unable to provide for her through their extreme destitution." The jury then raised a subscription for the poor family, which was kindly headed by the worthy deputy coroner; at the same time several of the gentlemen empannelled volunteered to wait upon Mr. Lake, the relieving officer, to adopt some measures for the assistance of the family.
