'Two 1 - days before the British Ambassador gave notice to his ebacolleagues tssy. that it. was his intention to illuminate the Embassy. They all accordiegly followed his lead, a n d every Legation in Pere showed an illuminated front. The contagion was caught even by small unfrequented streets, many of which made desperate efforts to attract the sightseers from the principal thoroughfares. The concourse of peo ple in the streets 'web not inferior, in point of num bers, to what is seen in R egen t- street on t h e occa sion of the Queen's birthday; but here the calm de• which is esu g ht more or Ices i nnanour of Orientals, • by the Frank portion of the pipulation, does not tied vent in the rowdiness which etiaiticterises a British mob. The canine race alete did not par take iu the general rejoicing.. These night scaven gers of Pera and l'ophane were driven from their accustomed haunts, and had to prowl in remote quarters in search of the freedom and repose which was denied them in their own. On the third night of the illuminations th . e.Sultan expressed his intention of riding through the streets of Pere among his Christian subjects. No aguner was this known than the decorations of the`Ao previous nights were restored, and considerable - 0- i ditions were introduced to make them worthy of the occasion. At 6 o'clock the Sultan arrived in • ~. Pera, and was received by Fuad Pasha and Omar Pasha at the barracks in the Grande Champs des Morts, where he dined in company with them and the senior officers in command. Between 8 and 9 o'clock he made his appearance, preceded by a troy of ZoOves of the Guard, and followed-by a detach ' ment of 'the Cent Gardes. He rode his favourite white Arab. The expression of his countenance denoted considerable emotion at the reception which he met. Every window was crowded with persons eager to see him, the greater proportion of whom consisted of the fair sex, waving handkerchiefs and spreading showers of flowers and bouquets. He ex pressed his acknowledgment of these manifestations by bowing r atedly rightar ft—a 1,0 proceeding lute unpre ented on th 3kof a Sultan, and Which, unt . ow, was lookki upon as an infringe ment of etiquette; and an pletll'ad was he, evidently, at this rece i 'on that he actually rode a second time throughi .'

On his accession to the throne the same manifestations butnot nearly to the same extent occurred. His subsequent acts destroyed in a great measure the prestige which he then possessed. He has now another and a greater opportunity, but a renewal of disappointment in the public mind would irretrievably ruin his popu larity. It is said he has returned to his capital deeply impressed with what he has seen, and with a determination to inaugurate a new state of things. Over eagerness and haste in reform are sometimes as dangerous as inaction. It is to be hoped, there fore, that he will not press too ralpidly the execution of ill digested measures, and try to bring about in • stantaneously what must be the.work of time. He is assisted by t tvo advisers whose value he is now it seems disposed to recognise. Statesmen like Fuad and Aali would not discredit a European country. His opposition to their wise counsels created diffi culties and embarrassments dangerous to the - stability of the empire. This opposition has given way, it is effirmed, to a feeling of confi dence and favour. The finances bid fair to improve. The army and the navy, for purposes of defence, are in a better coudition than for a long time past.

Eight y ears ago thi s c ons ion was esta blished, but in 1858 D enmar k w forced by the German D'et to withdraw the constitution, so far as it related to Holstein and Lauenburg, and since that time these Duchies have been governed purely sus adjuncts to the kingdom, and as forming part of the . German Confederation. In all this the good faith of Denmark cannot be called in question, and the German s w h o h ave b ro k en u p the unity of a small but geograp hi ca ll y important State, by asserting their s t r i ct l y l ega l r i g hts, cannot com plain if D enmar k is equa ll y tenac i o us in retain ing what undoubtedly belongs to her. The Danes claim that Schleswig is entirely separate from Holstein, and that, as it forms no part of the Ger manic Conf e d era ti on, ne i t h er th e Diet nor any German Stat e h as t h e r i ght to i n t er f er e with it. To retain Schleswig, which is more than half Danish , and to prevent th e ki ng d om f rom being reduced to the Islands and J u tl and, i s t h e na t ur al desire and the legal right of the Danish people. But the latest proposal of Lord Russell has been to sunder Schles wig from the kingdom, and to give to the Diets of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg the right of voting separate Budgets—in short to disintegrate the kingdom by making each part a separate State in the most important of all respects—that of finance. Lord Russell, in defence, says that as the Danish Government admits that Holstein and Lauenburg form part of the Confederation, there fore they should have separate Diets; and, conse quently, there remains only the question of Schles wig. " What I proposed," he says, " was that Schleswig should be united to Holstein, which the people of Schleswig have repeatedly asked, and which has also been demanded by a part of Ger many ; that there should be an entirely separate Diet, and that the legislation and the votes of money should be kept separate." These were the modest demands which our Foreign Secretary addressed to a Sovereign State, aid we new find that in spite of the ill success they met with both at home and abroad Lord Russell reiterates and defends them. Lord Ellenborough intimated an opinion that, as the differences between Denmark and Germany have been once brought within the domain of diplo• macy, they should so remain, and that England and France should not permit Germany to execute an act of invasion against Denmark. Lord Russell, on the other hand, declared himself opposed to an invitation to "go to war for the purpose of pre venting Germany carrying into effect laws which every State of Germany declares it to be the un doubted right of the Confederation to enforce." We trust that the German Powers will not give England and France causeago discuss this question more practically; but, in t f, meantime, we must protest against the doct because the Ger man States think certain in ful or expedient, therefore they have the right to enforce them in the King of Denmark's dominions. The question is a serious one for Germany, and it is to be hoped that her Princes and people will reflect on the course to which some enthusiasts would invite them. If they are encouraged by the languageuse violence to Denmark, of Lord Russell to they may find that he has led them to misunderstand the feeling of England and of Europe. . _ vernment would have risen to reply to the able speech of Mr. Liddell. The Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs was in his place, but seemed glued to his seat. The Speaker put the question ; the motion was negatived, to the utter astonishment of every one present. Mr. Cobden then rose and rightly denounced the proceeding as being disres pectful to the house and discourteous to the hon. members. Others followed in the same strain. . Mr. Layard excused himself by misstating the rule of the house, which misrepresentation was fully ex posed by Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald. Lord Naas gave notice that he would renew the question on Mon day, on going into committee of supply. So .tlie government have gained nothing by their sharp practice. There is not an instance, we believe, on reccrd of a Government declining to defend so im portant a branch of their policy as in our relations with the Chinese. We fear, however, that some thing was going on behind the scenes . Th e Govern. meat whips were unusually busy—a c )unt , out had been planned—and as they could not with decency count out their Under Secretary of State, they pre ferred to let the debate close, rather than defend a policy which vitally affects one of our most im portant trades and the interests of 400 millions of the human race.

Netier within the memory 1-.)f the oldest inhabi tants-of Canstantinerle has there been witneFscd such an enthusiastic manifestation as that which attended the return of the Sultan to his capital on Friday last, the Ist of May. It has produced inch a sensation throughout the Empire, that I should be retnissein my duty if I did not attempt a descrip tion of the fens and publio ceremonials, which have been kept up without interruption for three conse• cutive days. The accounts received from time to time of the Imperial. progress, of the magnificent receptions of the Sultan in Egypt and in Smyrna, inspired the Government and the people with emu lation, and with a desire to outdo, if possible, in , plenclonr and loyal demonstration all that had pre viously been accomplished. It was known on Thursday evening that the Imperial squadron would anchor late at night_ csiT the Princes' Islands, and there remain until 10 o'clock the next morning, at which time it was offi cially announced the Sultan would make his solemn entry into the Golden Horn. The early dawn of Friday found the whole population of the capital astir, and in a fever of excitement and expectation. The streets, the public places, the surrounding pla teaux, and every point which from its elevation commanded the beautiful Horn swarmed :w' , r . • :, joyous multitudes in holiday atti r e . Every -- • craft between the Marmora and the Black Sea, com prising caiques, barges, steam tugs, awl pleasure boats, was brought into requisition/and almost blocked up the entrance of the herb/ long before the time appointed for the Sultan's 4ttance. At 10 o'clock the sound of a distant gun, quicyli followed by successive reports, announc*Pkaeager mul titude that the Imperial squatrori..l4 left its an chorage and was approaching ikhrGolden Horn. As Vac" Imperial yacht neared this 'point, but while still it was lost to view, the temporary batteries at the Seven Towers took up the salute, which spread itself from point to point, keeping pace with, any if ccompanyirg, as it were, the slow movements RIM Messrs.

The object of this enterp ise is to take advantage of the impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise unties, un der circumstances pccuiiarly favor', able, the materials being obtained by a patent process in full ope ration, at priers very h ghly remunerative, as compared with the Cost of similar products in the of en market. 2. It is well known that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which amounted to .620 to £ , 5 per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con stantly incre t•ing demand for the supply of Books, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing I 'apers, 4 ensurea a large m!4 . very remunerative buaineso.te a;- Mann f stators - Situated eta - In .to tits-metropolis, erected on the most eeient.ills plane, with . the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. 3. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1862, it is proposed to purchase at their actual cost, the under takiogs of the Ettrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company, 4. Ine works of the Ulmate of Ammonia Company were established in 1860, on t-e Thames, at Grays, in Essex, for the purpose of working Ward's Patenta for obtaining paper manurekig.ials from rags of mixed fabrics, and a valuable powder from the res t due The patent process has proved, mechanically and commercially, completely success ful, and working by day only, the machinery produces 25 tons of paper-making material per we k, and about the same quantity of powder, containing* ~b out 15 per cent. of soluble nitrogen, estimated as ammonia, closely approaching in rich ness to the best qualities of Peruvian guano. 6. In 1842, a large mill for ma , tufacturing into paper the fibrous products of the w,:rks at Grays, in mixture with other materials, was erected on the Dartford Creek, by the well known engineering firm, Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Sons, with every recognised practical improvement in construction and machinery. Driven by steam power, abundantly supplied with the purest water from an Artesian well, with coal and materials by water carr i age, and cheap transport for the paper pe by e rail to London, th e power and economy of produc tion hav proved highly advant ageous as compared a ith mills located, as the great majority still are, on country streams, on which they are more or less dependent for mo tive power and for water for working purposes. H. The present turn out of the Paper Mill is 16 tons of news and print ng papers per week made t) order, and the works were built so as to admit of the doubing of the production, at an outlay very largely below the cost of the original under taking. 7.

Herkipe, command ing his Swedish Majesty's corvette Lagerbjelke, now lying at the Motherbank, paid an official visit to the military and naval commanders-in-chief at Portsmouth, accompanied by the Chevalier Vanden berg, Royal Swedish Consul at Portsmouth. In the evening Capt. Herkipe, of the Lagerbjelke, and the commander of the Prussian frigate Gefion, and the Chevalier Vandenberg were entertained at dinner at the Admiralty-house by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.B. Yesterday the officers of the two ships visited the dockyard, and displayed much in terest in the inspection of the Royal Sovereign and the iron ships now at the port. The Lagerbjelke has filled up with provisions and stores, and will sail for Carlscrona this afternoon or early to-morrow. The Esk, 21, screw corvette, was taken out of the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and will make her official trial of speed, preparatory to her corn • mission, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay to-day, under the superintendence of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the Portsmouth Steam Reserve. The Curagoa, 26, screw, Capt. Sir W. Wiseman, will go out of harbour to-day to Spithead, where she will anchor to take in her powder and shell and complete her stores preparatory to sailing for her destination, the coasts of Australia, where Sir W. Wiseman will succeed the late Commodore Burne , as commanding officer on the station. ' The Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, Capt. J. F. B.

We presume from this order that all is now pronounced perfect and fit for sea service. The Thunderer, old 84, now stripping in basin at' Portsmouth for target practice, was valued before leaving Devonport at £30,000. Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Leander, Capt.

She is to be supplied with two lifeboats, each 30 feet in length, four cutters, two gigs, one jolly-boat, and one other boat. As soon as the Tamar is docked at Chatham she will undergo a careful survey at the hands of the dockyard officials previous to being taken over by the Admiralty from the contractors. The work in the shipwrights' department of Portsmouth dockyard is now being "pushed" again a little, and the result is that an order has been given to enter a certain number of ship wrights, &c. On all former occasions there has been no difficulty in procuring any number of men from private yards in the north and other parts, but on the present occasion the men cannot be obtained sa readily as could be wished. A very sufficient reason is given for this. It is said that when the Government last wanted a large number of ship wrights they were enticed from the numerous pri vate shipbuilding yards, employed for a short time in the royal dockyards, and then, when the Admi• ratty had tided over their difficulty ruthlessly turned adrift. In the present instance the men know t t hat, in leaving again the private for the Go vernment employ, they would be breaking up their homed and exchanging permanent situations for a temporary job, and they therefore naturally decline the bargain. Hands will no doubt be eventually obtained, but the supply will not come so readily to hand, nor will the material be equal to what has been formerly placed at the Admiralty's disposal. As a proof of the want of skilled labour in the ship• wright department, the Duke of Wellington, sea men's depot ship at Portsmouth, is ordered to 'be completed for sea as quickly as possible. Her chief requirements lie in the caulkers' department, and yesterday there were not more than three or four men and a couple of boys working with their caulk ing irons on board of her. A considerable amount of dissatisfaction has also been created among the shipwright apprentices by the issue of an efficial order affecting their position in the dockyard when they have served out their time of apprenticeship . The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. R. Rol land, to the Cossack ; Commander J. S. Hudson, to the Curlew, vice Pakenham , p romoted; Lieut. J. s • Keats, to command the Staunch, vice Temple, pro moted ; A. J. Armstrong, Master, to tie Cossack ; George M. Morriso n, Master, to the Dauntless, for the Coastguard ; J ames H. Lawrence, Master to the Pembroke, for the Coast g uard ; James Boddie, ad ditional, to the Ter ror for the Nettle, promoted to acting engineer; and Andrew Hindmarch, assistant engineer, to the Colossus, vice Brown, discharged the service at his own request.

To carry out the intended purchase, to double the scale of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the Julie .t extent the produc tive power of the works at Grays, and to provid e the necessary Working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as a fund of credit, deemed highly d, sirable for the safe and profitable working of a Limited Company. 9. Alter providing for every , ontingeney, the net profits calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 36 tons of paper, and 25 to 30 tons of manure powder, perwcek, will be from £20, , 00 to .£25,000 per annum, according to the condition of the rnar keta, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent., vt ith pros pects of considerable increase upon favourable developments of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the state of affairs in America, and other di-turbine= causes. A very large share of the capital has already been sub scribed by the present owners of the properties. Prospectuses and forms of applic ition for shares may be obta ned from the Bankers, Brok , ,rs, Solicitors, or at the Offices of the Company. A pplisations for shares must be made in the form annexed to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of I per share.

Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, whi It can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

MITII, Secretary. ; TlMES.—Partly from its intricacy, and partly from the comparative narrowness of the interests involved, the question of Schleswig-Holstein has never been much studied by the public of this coun try. It is a subject of which professed politicians have made much, and respecting which the press has accordingly been called at intervals to repeat facts and to pronounce opinions; but the explana tions have, we fear, been soon forgotten, and the public has altogether omitted to follow the question through the weary disputations of later years. Yet, though people may not care for the details of an interminable discussion, there is a strong sympathy for the gallant little State which has been engaged in so unequal a contest. This feeling is naturally increased by the alliance between the Royal Houses of Great Britain and Denmark, and hardly less naturally by the apparent recklessness of Lord Russell in abandoning the policy of this country and that which he himself formerly approved, in order to lecture Denmark and bid her yield all that her opponents demand. Hence our readers will hardly fail to take some interest in the debate in the House of Lords last evening. Lord Ellen borough thought the time opportune for a recurrence to the subject, inasmuch as it seems likely that the quarrel may come to a crisis within the present year. Indeed, for some time past the Federal Government of Germany has been threatening an armed interfer ence with the Danish Monarchy. We well know that the distance between the conception and the execution of an idea is greater with Germans than with most people, but it is not at all impossible that one of the two great Governments may, sooner or later, be induced to march a force into the Duchies. Should future difficulties give France or Russia the opportunity of appearing as champions of Den mark against its German foes, it will be impossible wholly to acquit Lord Russell of having aided in producing so untoward an event by his desptch of a few months since, and by the attitude he has assumed towards Denmark in the present discuss sion. As to the despatch, Lord Derby admits that it was written, not on the mere motion of the Bri tish Government, but as part of a diplomatic corre • spondence; that the interference was not forced upon the contending States, bit was consented to by them ; but it is not less the case that the lan guage of Lord Russell and the proposals he made were wholly inconsistent with the former policy of this country, and even with his own expressed opi nions. It is well known that Denmark, acting under the advice of this country, as well as of France and Russia, h as w i th i n the last few years done every thing this ngto content th e peop l e o f the D uc hi es, so far fcothnetemntomnaenrethwy.as Acosnssiosothenatswtihthe questionsthe i nte g r i t connected with the succession were settled the King of Denmark, though the ' of kingdom much impaired, eudeavou u re n d itT no th d e faitoa was a constitution to all parts of good dominions.

That there was P . oeT.—The achievement which M'Clellan, Pope, and Burnside have successively failed to accomplish is now about to be attempted by Gen. Hooker. This gallant officer, on his examination before the War Committee appointed to inquire into the conduct of last year's campaign in Virginia, confidently attri buted the failure of both M'Clellan and Burnside to take Richmond to the incapacity of those generals. According to Gene Hooker, either of them ought with the army at his disposal to have effected the capture of Richmond. This confident witness now holds the post of Generalissimo of the Army of the North, and has an opportunity of proving the just ness of his conclusions in reference to the ductief his predecessors by giving e v id ence o f ow n ability. He has, certainly, by i mp li cat i on , serted his superiority to both of the disgraced geherale, and must, in the language of the New York Herald, " make good his pretensions, or sink into irretrieva- i ble disgrace." It is probah:e that an opportunity for showing his strategical ability will quickly pre sent-itself. After fire months' rest, the army of the Potomac has quitted its cantonments. Those five months have not been lost on the troops, and the War Department of Washington must be even wot , , managed than we believe it to be if the army which Gen. Hooker now takes the field is not in e respect as . efficient as the most lavish expendi e in supplying its wants could possitly make it. Tne whole army is reported to be in metier, and as it has crosaed the Rappahannock at fords either above or below Fredericksburg, it would I seem that General Hooker proposes to take the same line of advance as that adopted in December last by Gen. Burnside, One New York journal states authoritatively that a portion of the Federal army bad advanced to the rear of Fredericksburg, with the view of cutting off the Confederate line of com munication, and that the position in which Ger. Lee was thus placed offered him no other alternae tive than that of evacuating his position at Frede. riaksburg or fighting at a disadvantage. It is almost needless to say that Lee is much too skilful a general to allow himself to be taken in such a trap. The fact is that the War Department allow no authen tic information of the movements of the army to reach the press, and editors are obliged to devise all kinds of military operations in order to satisfy the craving of the public for news. In the columns of a Philadelphian evening paper a terrible battle has already been fought, in which, as a matter of course, the Federals were victorious. The following morn ing, however, brought with it the official contradic lion of the gratifyi ng intel li genc e. At Ri c h mond an opinion is preval en t t h at t h e F e deral g enera l i s en the point of cha ng i ng hi s b ase of oper a ti ons from Fredericksburg to Yorktown, and that th e move• meats in the vicinity of the former place are merely intended as feints to mislead the Confederates. Although a change of base would in all probability be the best move Gen. Hooker could make, we do not believe that he could effect it with the slightest chance of surprising his wily adversaries. We do not think, therefore, that the present movements on the Rappahannock are intended to mislead. If, in deed, Gea. Hooker had at his disposal a sufficiently large force to admit of its being divided into two portions strong enough to act independently of each other, he might leave one at Fredericksburg and transport the other to the peninsula. Were he able to do this, he might compel the Confederate com mander-in-chief to retire on Richmond, and occupy the same position held by the Southern Army when the capital was threatened by M'Clellan last summer. But the Army of the Potomac, great as it is, could not be thus divided without considerable risk of its destruction in detail. It is more probable that Gen. Hooker has decided on advancing on Richmond with his whole force from Fredericks burg. If so, he must force a passege through those terrible lines which proved impregnable to Burn side. If the winter months have afforded breathing time to the Federal troops, they have equally ena bled the Confederates to give additional strength to the entrenchments covering the approach( s from Fredericksburg to the capital. It is said that Gen. Hooker's army has crossed the river without oppo sition ; but so did that of Gen. Burnside last winter. The notion that the Confederates were surprised by a movement which has been a long time in contem plation is too great an absurdity to be entertained even for a moment. The story that a telegraphic cable had been discovered conneeting the Federal I w ith the Confederate camp, and by which informa tion was transmitted from the former to the latter, has proved, as might have beets expected, to be a canard ; but although telegrams were not trans mitted between the two camps, we believe that the Confederates seldom lacked perfect information re specting the movements of their adversaries. The Federal Army has been allowed to cross the Rap pahannock because it did not suit th e C on f e d erates to oppose its p _ as sage. The Southern troops have been at the trouble of constructing formidable en trenchments, behind which they can fight in com parative security, and under such circumstances they would de serve to be calle d fools and nut sol diers if they gave the enemy the opportunity of attacking them on an open pl a i n. HERALD.—The conduct of the Government in the House of Commons last night was unprece dented in the annals of P arliamentary history. Mr. Liddell brought forward the question of China in an elaborate speech of great ability. Mr. Baillie fol lowed, and pointed out in forcible terms the dan gerous and reckless course of mischievous interven tion her Majesty's Ministers are pursuing in that country. The house was thin, as it often is at eight o'clock. Many members, how ever , on b ot h s ides of the house , we re in their places ready to take part in the debate; among the number were Mr. Cobden, Mr. Ferrand, Mr. H. Seymour, Lord Naas, and Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald. Mr. Disraeli had only left the house for a moment.

The artillery ground at Tophane is one of the most beautiful public places of Constantinople. Ad joining the landing steps a triumphal arch had been raised, decorated with every description of arms and armour, both modern and ancient, arranged in panoplies. It was at this place that the Sultan landed, amid every demonstration of loyalty and en thusiasm. Here he was received by the Ministers, the high functionaries of t he State, the Church and judicial dignitaries (ulenzahs), headed by the Sheik u'.-Islam, and all the civil and military authorities. Without halting he proceeded to the Mosque hard by, while the glittering cortege went in procession to the Palace, there to await his presence at the levee (riktab) which he was to hold afterwards. Early in the morning it had been intimated officially to Sir Henry Bulwer, as doyen of the foreign representatives here, that the Sultan would receive the diplomatic body at twelve o'clock. Accordingly, a little before that time, and previous to the return of the Sultan from Mosque, the Ambassadors and Ministers of the different nations, accompanied by a complete staff of score taries and attaches, proceeded in gay uniform to the Palace. By the time that they had all congregated the Sultan left Mosque, and, escorted by a regiment of mounted Zouaves of the Guards and the Cent Gaides in Spahis uniforms, rode from Tophane to the Palace, amid the eager and acclaiming multi tude. I was sufficiently near to see him ride into the Palace-yard. He was mounted on a magnificent white Arab, and was looking the very picture of conscious sovereignty and power. Shortly after his arrival at the palace he summoned the foreign re presentatives to his presence. Sir Henry I3ulwer, in his name and that of his colleagues, addressed him a few well-chosen words, expressing the grati fication they felt at welcoming him again in his capital. In acknowledgment, the Sultan, through the medium of Aali Pasha, made some graceiul re marks, and laid some stress on the manner in which he had been received by the Consular authorities during his progress. This terminated the cere monial of the day. But, brilliant as had been the proceedings of the day, they were eclipsed by the beautiful spectacle which was witnessed on that and the two s uceessive nights.

Tamplin, for that he did, on the 4th April, unlawfully smoke in a railway car riage on the London and North-Western Railway, contrary to the statute, &c. Mr. Adam Rivers Steel, a solicitor, said—On the day namedl was coming from Kilburn by the Lon don and North-Western Railway in a first-Class carriage. Defendant was, moking, and I complained of it. He would not desist, and I spoke to the ticket collector at Camden, and he requested me to speak to the guard. On our arrival at the platform I did so, and the person gave the name of Augustus E. Tamplin, 107, Cambridge-street, Pimlico. He was smoking when I got in, and I said, " Do you know, sir, you are infringing the laws of the company ?" and he said "No," and another young gentleman said, " Ilow is he to know that?" I said, "He can't help seeing, for it is up in the caryiage." He then made use of bad language. I said to. them, "Do You young people think to make old people fools ?" They said, " Do you mind smoking?" and I said " No, only the ladies ought to be thought of.
