LordMELnoneaix'*happy-go-lncky remonctrance with any more energetic Ministerial colleague.-- 4i why can't you leave it alone ?"—appears to have accepted as a hint for a guiding been only partially principle by the leaders of her . Majesty's present Government. It is adopted unconditionally by them in regard to all the really G reat Powers in one very important public department, th ough i t is not in the least acted upon in another. It is is adopted unconditionally, that is t o say, (in regard to the really Great Powers) in the War Department, and not the least bit in the world in the Diplomatic Department. In the War Department Ministers, so far as w ar itself is in any way concerned, appear to have quite made up their minds to "leave it alone." No mat ter at what sacrifice of honour, of prestige, o? influence, of reputation —nn matter what may be tho provocatives to interference—no ter haw heinous or detestable may be the outrages perpetrated—Ministers have, at once blnnAlly and doggedly, made up their minds to 61 leave it alone." The atrocities perpetrated by Ru , sia in her Polish Provinces may bo such as absolutely cry to heaven for vengeance. No matter, " leave it alone." The horrors of a Civil War that has lasted now during several successive years in America—in that land peopled by our own kith and kin, squandering, there, blood, and lives, and treasures with appalling prodigality —the /horrors of this' most miserable war beyond the Atlantic may be quite manifestly deepening and multiplying deplorably. No matter—" leave it alone." The two great P owers of the Germanic Confederation, 'l \ r. . THE SUN, LOI\DON, THITRSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 18, 1864. two out of the Five Greatest Powers in Europe, may lawlessly band together their fighting men, horse, foot, and artillery, and may then in open violation of treaty rights, in defiance of the law of nations, advance beyond the frontiers of a lesser Power like Denmark for the purpose of carry ing out by brutal violence a moat flagrant scheme of territorial spoliation. No matter—" leave it alone." The heir apparent may have taken to wife but one brief year since the eldest daughter of the lesser Power thus infamously outraged. Mais n'impo:•te—it is no affair of ours—" leave it alone." That eldest daughter of Denmark, now the adopted daughter of England, may but one brief month since have brought an heir to the heir of the most constitutional and beloved of the long line of our sovereigns—no matter—we will show our loyalty, we will show our jealous regard for our own honour (implicated in this shameless invasion of Danish soil by the banded armies of Prussia and Austria) we will show our patriotic devotion fcr the maintenance of Eng land's fair fame, of her influence, of her re putation before the whole world, by letting things ran their course just as they may. We will "leave it alone." Denmark may be the victim of a most criminal adventure on the part of two Powers, either one of which single-handed would be a cruel overmatch to the invaded kingdom as an assailant. It is our impression, it is our conscientious conviction, that the invasion of the Danish soil is a proceeding precisely of this most execrable , character— no matter--we will " leave it alone." Prussia is one of the Great Powers—Austria is one of the Great Powers—together those two out of the Five Great Powers of Europe are surely very formidable—" leave it alone !" So is it, as a plain, bald matter of fact with regard to the Foreign Policy of England in the War Depart ment. If only the same exceedingly safe—rather contemptible perhaps, but perfeetly safe—policy (safeat least so far as immediate consequences go) could be recognizable in any way, could be adopted, could be acted upon, in the Diplomatic as rigidly' as it is thus being acted upon in the War Department ! There—in the Foreign Department par excellence—the presiding genius, having as strong as ever upon him the cacoetlies scribendi, will on no account whatever " leave it alone." He is for ever interposing, interfering, meddling, and muddling, ad 02 . finitu7n: certainly, judged by JOHN BULL'S palate, usque ad nauseam. Nothing will induce him to " leave it alone." He interfered between the People and the last real chance of a Reform Bill, four years ago, with his dog.ia-the manger Resolutions—and we know well enough what has come of it. Re know well enough that, precisely because of his Resolutions, ever since then we have had Reform quietly cushioned and shelved. Just exactly in the same way this inimitable Statesman, and diplomatist, and administrator, this upsetter of coaches, and malapropos propounder of Finality as a political principle, this inventor of a Foreign Policy that is next to no Policy at all, this great Ministerial MARPLOT who, after winning his Garter and his Earldom, can simper out to the nation "Rest and be thankful"—Earl RUSSELL to-day, in regard to Foreign Affairs, as y esterday in regard to Reform, just exactly with the self-same pertinacity and per versity, interferes only by a dead certainty to make bad worse. He meddles only to muddle. The results of his happy diplomatic interference are painfully visible, indeed, at this moment alike in Poland, in America, in Schleswig•Holstein. To• day, as we have said, the MARPLOT of the Ministry—to-morrow he may be regarded as the JONAH, and ma's , then be treated accordingly. On Tuesday evening Lard CARNARVON called at tention to a very important subject—the Beitisn claims upon the United States Government. The noble lord entered into the question at some length, and did ample justice to the case of those who were concerned in the affair. He said that his efforts were chiefly directed to icquiries concerning those who, on " vague suspicion," had been arrested, or subjected to great losses of property, and he ex pressed his opinion that the Government were bound on behalf of those persons to demand " ample compensation and redress," This is strictly true, and contains a principle in which all must concur who appreciate what ought to be the first thought of public men, and is always considered to be of primary importance to the Statesman and the patriot—the protection of our countrymen abroad. It is a sad state of things and a lamentable position of affairs if the Englishman, who boasted in the last generation that his " Flag had braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze," and was mighty to protect those who sought refuge beneath it, and that "on his empire the sun never set ;" yet he could visit any part of it secure from injury and shielded with an invincible panoply, must new be browbeat and insulted at every turn, and the flag of his country be powerless to save even himself from assault, or even at times to preserve his life. The cases recorded by Lard CARNARVON are enough to excite the strongest indignation, and to awaken the fears of all, if they are only studied with due attention. Who can deny that, according to the transatlantic reading of the case, ratified by our Government, " neutral rights are on the verge of extinction." The notable instances of infringement upon this principle, so strikingly manifested in the affair of the Saxon, and the capture of the Tusca looza, received due mention, and great stress was laid upon the suspicious circumstance of the instruc tions sent out by her MAJESTY'S Government, with an intimation that they must be strictly adhered to, being allowed by the arrest of the vessel, which the Governor of the Cape had previously refused to de tain, acting with proper spirit and a discretion which did him infinite credit. Surely it is not often that such transactions are brought under the notice of Parliament, as the details which bear re ference to these American affairs. The second part of Lord CARNARVON'S speech treated of the claims which the " United States Government made upon her MAJESTY'S, Government for damages alleged to be dons to American ships by the Ala bama and other Confederate cruisers." Here he animadverts upon Earl RUSSELL'S most unfortunate observation in his despatch con cerning the Alabama, that he waited until were aor the questi on cou ld b e ca ndidly considered. This was certainly as ma l a droit an admission as any that cou l d have been made, and ent i re l y did away with the impression of the noble Earl's previous de clarations th at his Government were not respon sible f or t h e acts of the Alabama. The noble Earl found it c onvenient when the harge was brought home to him i n the House to' express his dissent from the readi ng of his Btatricornn remarks could possibly the ssib y s p b e a e k p e u r t , but what other interpretation them ? Lord CAIUSARVoN enunciated some very important principles in respect to our inter• course with America, and i reputation fa re o f t he countryof t o if foreign th ey %it:e y would b e r at a ;e s and for the n eded dee the twhaeln they are likely to be :—" In the history of our in tercourse with America, I think our experience amounts to this, that the whole object of E ng li sh statesmen should be to limit these debateable ques tions. and never allow them to be kept open." There can be no more fatal error than the one into which Earl RUSSELL has fallen of " tiding over difficul ties," as Lord CARNARVON has forcibly expressed his mode of procedure. This is not the way to manage matters, or to gain the desired ob ject even, for it is well known that people always prefer to hear the worst at once, if only fairly stated and openly argued, than to be put off by the specious promises of fair seeming professions, which ultimately turn out to be groundless and illusory. Earl RUSSELL'S reply was about as unsatisfactory as it could be in every way, and as unworthy of the tone in which the Foreign Minister of this country should treat such subjects, as the subjects themselves were cha racterised by violence and disrespect for the recog nised rights of belligerents, the claims of neutrals, and the honour and good faith which should exist between nations, whether in peace or war. In the first place the House was informed that the captain of the Vanderbilt could do no more th express his regret. Was there evar such a mon strous assertion. Lord CARNARVON very properly inquired whether he had placed the guilty party under arrest. To this query the noble lord was compelled to say that he had no information. Ac cording to this new version of justice, if Lord RUSSELL saw a man commit a murder, and the miscreant expressed regret, he would suffer him to escape. Circumstances may differ in detail, but the fundamental principles of justice are the same whether an offence is committed on English ground or on the high seas, in the purlieus of St. James's, or on the eoast of Africa. With respect to the Tuscalooza the law officers of the Crown, as usual , are to take the blame. What would the noble lord do without these convenient scapegoats. They are to be responsible for all the sins of omission and commission with which the Foreign-office stands charged before the Parliament. If the Foreign Secretary sought to be a little less legal and a groat deal more just, how much better affairs would look for himself and others. The noble lord, however, doubtless irritated by the constant attacks made upon his conduct during the halcyon period of the recess, became aggressive in his turn, and after taunting Lord CARNARVON with urging him to make war upon America, he wound up by declaring that all laws which allowed warlike vessels to be fitted up for the Confederates were a scandal and a "reproach," and that they ought to be made more intelligible. Tais is doubtless the fulfilment of the threat or promise made in Scotland some months back; but Earl RUSSELL had better take heed before he attempts such a change as that con templated in the latter part of his speech. There is a limit to all things, and the day that sees him lay such a proposition before the House as that to to alter and restrict our laws to suit the Federal Government will seal the doom of the Cabinet of which he is a member. If he would escape an igno minious close to a long political career, let him avoid an act which would thus sully his fame as a states man, a Minister, and a patriot in the annals of his country's history, where his ancestors have held so honourable a position, and shone forth so conspi cuously in the cause of civil rights and the sacred claims of liberty. The Navy Estimates for the current year will be scanned with some curiosity after the promises of retrenchment, The lavish expenditure of the Admiralty, expenditure as profitless as uncalled-for, has long been a favourite subject of attack for mal contents and financial reformers. Even Admiralty officials find it difficult to defend the enormous dc mends which are made upon the public for work often inefficiently and awkwardly performed. There is, perhaps, no department of the public service to which the British public would be so little likely to grudge a liberal supply as the Navy, and it really seems sometimes as if the whole Admiralty establish ment reckoned upon this feeling. It is one thing, however, to pay money cheerfully for work well done, and another to pay for unfinished experi ments, for continual alterations, for building and rebuilding, for cutting down, and other vagaries constantly being gone through in our dockyards. In the estimates now published there is certainly a decrease, though but a slight one. The net expen diture of 1863.4 was £10,462,322 ; the net expen diture of 1864-5 is calculated at £10,169,022 ; thus leaving a net estimated decrease of £300,000. The principal items in which it is intended this reduc tion shall be made are the estimates for seamen's wages, victuals, and clothing, and for naval stores. On the other hand, there is a proposed increase for wages to men employed in naval works at home. The recent innovations op the old-established theories of shipbuilding have naturally made a great difference in the sums required for timber, masts, hemp, canvas, &c., and although there is also a reduction in the amount set down for armour plates, iron beams, and other similar items, this is due to the number of iron ships and gun boats now building by contract. We have no wish to find fault with this plan, which very probably will secure to the country better built ships at a less cost and in quicker time ; but it would be quite as well if our Admiralty, while thinking of eco nomy, turned over its old stores, and considered whether they might not be put to some profitable account. The removal of a few guns would lighten many of the old wooden vessels sufficiently to en able them to bear the weight of an iron belt just above and below the water line, which is the quarter where the protection is really worth having. The missiles of the present day will penetrate any ordinary armour plating, and if a shot is to go through a vessel, it may as well do so without the additional mischief occasioned by splintering through the iron. No vessel can bear the weight of an armour plating solid enough to defy the monster guns of the day; but a belt round the vici nity of the water-line might be made sufficiently thick to be of real service. There is no reason why our old wooden walls should be cast aside as unfit for further service, when a little management would convert them into a ready-made fleet, at hand in any emergency. In the present threatening aspect of foreign affairs, we can hardly tell how soon we may be called upon to put forth our naval power, and it is surely folly while preaching economy and efficiency to neglect such an important means of saving, since by its use we should not only avoid expense but delay, and be able quickly to equip a formidable fleet ready at any moment for the purposes of attack or defence. The retrenchment which is to take place in the seamen's wages, victuals, and clothing, owes its existence to proposed economy, which we heartily trust will never b© suff..red to be put into practice. At a time of perplexity and anxiety, like the pre sent, when the arrogant pretensions of the Federal Government threaten every day to involve ua in a naval warfAre, when the shadows of a coming war that shall convulse the greater part of Europe are darkening over us, it is surely most unwise, most impolitic, most preposterous, to take steps which must tend to weaken our navy prospectively and permanently. The saving effected by the reduc tion of 500 seamen, 1,5C0 men and boys of the coast guard service, and 2,000 boys of the number serving afloat, will make a very inconsiderable difference at the end of the financial year; but, it will produce Very marked and disastrous effects on the British navy. Unless the country has grown much more parsimonious, the Government much mere careful of the hundreds than even before, or the House of Commons especially censorious, £20,000 or £30,000 will make a very little difference in the estimates of 1865 6. But year by year the service will suffer from just the deficiency which it is hardest to supply. Not only the number of sea men will have been reduced, at a time when we ought not to lose a man unnecessarily, not only the valuable auxiliary of the regular service—the coast guard—will have been shorn of its usual propor tions, but the boys who are to supply our future navy, who year by year recruit the ranks of our able seamen with the most efficient material—men trained to the work—are to be diminished by a large number. This is beginning saving at the wrong end indeed. It reminds one of the old adage about being penny wise and pound foolish. In case of sudden alarm or emergency, the consequence will be that a large sum sill have to be paid to ignorant and perhaps incapab.e men hurriedly enlisted into the force without previous training or experience. It is in ways like these that the public money is wasted, and the public service brought into disre pute. Efficiency is the real economy, and .so long as we have a fleet or a navy at all it is no sort of saving to have it badly manned. Whatever other changes modern science may have effected, it has not succeeded ill replacing men by any other con trivance, and until such a discovery is made our authorities would do well to remember that there is no extravagance like misplaced economy, and that whatever may be the merits of monitors and Whit worth guns, it is upon our seamen we must mainly rest for the maintenance of our naval supremacy. WILLIAM DYCE, R.A. The announcement of the death of William Dyce in the prime of life will s h oc k t h ose who are not aware that the great artist has been in feeble health for a lor g time past. Mr. Dyce has been suffering for months from chronic bron chitis, but died at last from cancer of a most paintul and distressing nature. William Dyce was born at Aberdeen in 1806. His father was Dr. William Dyce, F.R,S.E., and his cousin is the Rev. Alexander Dyce, the weil-known editor of Beaumont and Fletcher, and Marlowe, and the Shaksperian Commen tator, author of th 3 Lives of Shakspere, Pope, Akenside, and Beattie. William Dyce took the degree of M.A. at Marischal College, Aberdeen, at the early age of 16, and it may be added that he was known through life as a polished scholar and able w r it er . I n d ee d, at the age of 2 2 , in 18 2 8, he wrote a paper on el ec t ro magn etism which obtained the Blackall prize at Aberdeen. After taking his degree he entered at the Royal Scottish Academy, and made his first appearance as a classical artist at one of the exhibitions. In 1825 he visited Italy, and for 9 months stud.ed i n R ome, return i n g in the following year to Aberdeen, wher e h e d ecorate d a ro om in his father's house in the arabesque styl e . I n 1827 appea red his " Bacchus nursed by the Nymph s o f N ysa, " which was exhibited at the Royal Academy, and in the same year he went again to Rome. At Rome Mr. Dyce imbibed those habitsof reverent and solemn study of religious subjects which distinguished him through life—witness his " Madonna and Child," pro duced in 1828. From 1830 to 1838 the artist lived in Edin burgh, but, finding small encouragement in his attempts at historical painting, he set hi mse lf to work at portrait pain t ing, and was successful, especially in the likenesses of chil dren. In 1835 he became an associate of the Royal Scot tish Academy, and in the following year exhibited his " Descent of Venus" at the Royal Academy, London. In 1838 Mr. Dyce left Edinburgh on being appointed superintendent and secretary of the new Government School of Design, at Somerset House. He obtained the office through a letter addressed to Lord Meadowbank, in which he advocated the improvement of the scnools of de signs belonging to the hoard of trustees for the manfactures of Edinburgh. Shortly after his appointment he was sent by Government to France, Prussia, and Bavaria for the purpose of procuring information on matters relating to his new duties, and his report (1840) led to the remodelling of the London Schools of Design. _ In 1839 he produced " St. Dunstan separating Evary and Elgiva" (Royal Academy). In 1840, " Titian Teaching Irene de Spilembergo." In DM he exhibited at the British Institution " The Christian's Yoke." In 1843 he prAuced " Jessica." In 1843 he resigned his appointment at the School of Design and was appointed Inspector of the Provincial Schools. In 1844 Mr..Dyce was elected A.R.A., and exhibited a picture of " KingJoash Shooting the Arrow of Deliverance," which picture made Mr, Dyce's reputa tion. . . When, on the invitation of the Government, the leading artists of England were asked to join in a project for deco rating the Houses of Parliament with frescoes, Mr. Dyce was associated with Mr. Maclise, Mr. Cope, Mr. Horsley, Mr. Tenniel, and Mr. E. Armitage. The picture which procured Mr. Dyce's engagement was that of the "Conse cration of Archbishop Parker in Lambeth Palace Chapel in 1559," which was exhibited at Westminster. Mr. Dyce's work in the Houses of Parliament has been the subject of very unpleasant discussion in artistic circles and in the House of Commons, on which it is not necessary to remark in this place. No doubt ill health prevented Mr. Dyce from completing his contract, but as soon as he found himself incapable of fulfilling it he returned the money which he had received on account. He had, how ever, done some noble work. His "Baptism of Ethelbert" in the House of Lords was universally admired. Then he was engaged to paint in the Queen's robing-room "The Legends of King Arthur." He engaged to d o this in eight years, and began his work in 1848. He has only done a few of the pictures—on the west wall a picture of " Religion ; or, the Vision of Sir Percival and his Company." "Gene rosily" was represented by King Arthur, unhorsed, spa red by his adversary, and Sir Tristam represented " Courtesy." On the north wall there is a picture of " Mercy," but th ere are great omissions on the walls —two paintings on the east and one on the north side, besides friezes on all four sides. Mr. Pyce has been engaged in ornamenting the royal palaces, Buckingham Palace, and Osborne. The late Prince Cousort invited Mr. Dyce, with Sir C. Eastlake, Sir E Landseer, Mr. Ross, Mr. Maclise, Mr. Uwins, Mr. Leslie, and Mr. Stanfield, to illustrate Milton's " COWLS." In 1846 Mr. Dyes exhibited, at the Royal Academy, "The Madonna and Child ;" and in 1847 he produced " Neptune giving the Empire of the Sea to Britannia," for the late Prince Consort. It is impossible to give any de tails of Mr. Dyce's work at length. H e was wade R.A , in 1848. The names of his pictures only need be givcn— " Oumia Vanitas ( 1849 ), the " Me e ting of Jacob a nd Rachel," " Lear and the Fool" (1851)," Titian's " C'nristabel" (1853), "The Good Shepherd" (1856), Essay in Colouring" ( 1857 ), " The M an of Sorrows,"First and " St. John leading home his Mothe r " (painted in 18 1 4 ) , and revised in 1851) ; " Pegwell Bay" ( a wonderfully fine landscape picture), and " George (one of the most deservedly popular i n th e Royal Acade m y Exhibition of 1861). Mr, Dyes has recently been known chiefly for his splen did frescies in All Saints', Margaret -street. To t his work M he devoted all his exertions for Herbert at Beme rton '' Many years, and h e has succeeded in producing an artistic work, kind, which will hand down it s author's n ame to posterity as one of the first a r tists in Eng land. Every Londoner knows this splendid work of art : in the centre the Madonna and Child, the Twelve Apostles , six on "the Lord en throned." each side, and, above all, un ique of it a oned."

The following is an extract from a report by General von Gablenz, commanding the Austrian troops in Schleswig. The report is dated : " Austrian Headquarters, Froerup, Feb. 10. "After the engagement at Oversee upon the 6th, and the exhaustive marches attendant upon the pursuit to Flensburg, in the most trying season of the year, it became necessary to grant the troops a few days of rest, and to bring them under shelter after several days of bivouac. " The Prussian Gaards division was to advance towards Apenrade on the 9th, at the same time occupying Gsvenstein, to reconnoitre Dilppel from that point. The quarters in Flensburg, vacated by this movement, will be occupied by troops of the 6th Corps. " Since the last engagements the public feeling in Schleswig is enthusiastic for Austria and the Imperial army. It was intended by the inhabitants of Flensburg to prepare a festive reception for the Austrian troops. " Seven waggons were sent from Kiel with re freshments fur the Imperial troops and the head quarters, and supplies were also forwarded to the headquarters by the Hamburgers. " The rural population, in spite of its apparent phlegmatic apathy, is willing to give assistance. The peasants were especially kind to the numbers of wounded, who were at first necessarily left without sufficient aid, as the medical establishment and field hospitals, left behind in the positions before theDan newerke, were unable to follow the extraordinarily rapid advance of the troops with the requisite speed. The wounded are now partly under careful treat ment in Nowmiluster, partly in Rendsburg and Schleswig. In the latter town the establishments have been given into the care of civilians. Professor Esmareb, of the Kiel University, with all the sur geons of that institution, hastened to Schleswig, and undertook the surgical treatment of the sufferers with as much readiness as skill. Saxon surgeons have also arrived from Rendsburg, where 15 of their number had volunteered for service in the hospitals. The superintending staff-surgeon of the army corps has further made arrangements for the engagement of civilian hospital nurses, and the arrival of field-hospital No. 12 is daily expected in Schleswig. " The spirit of the troops, in spite of all their hardships, remains excellent. The men bear fatigue cheerfully and without a murmur, and look forward to the coming engagement with courage and hope. They have shown themselves, without exception, worthy of the confidence placed in them. " Atter the engagement at Oversee, the com mander of the corps remarked touching instances of military comradeship. He met imperial soldiers carrying a wounded Dane, while a few steps further on were encountered Danish prisoners carrying wounded Austrians. "Snow has fallen incessantly for the last three days, and it is to be apprehended that the commu nication, already greatly obstructed, will be entirely interrupted in places by the heavy drifts." IMPORTANT NOTE OF AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA, VIENNA, FEB. 18 (Morning). The Presse of to-day says :—" A note of the Great German Powers to the minor States declare that they do not recognise the necessity of a federal reserve being stationed in Holstein. Should such a want arise the Great Powers would place at the disposal of the Diet a sufficient reserve for execu tion purposes." SPAIN. MADRID, FEB. 17. . The Madrid papers announce that a bill has been introduced in the Cortes authorising credit opera tions on the guarantee of the bonds given by the purchasers of national property. On Tuesday a special general court of the governors of St, Thomas's Hospital was held at the Terminus Hotel, London Bridge, Alderman Sir John Musgrove, the president, in the chair, to take into consideration a matter in which they have been brought into collision with the Court of Common Council in reference to a proceeding about to be in stituted in the Court of Chancery, at the instance of the corporation, touching the future site of the hos pital. The summons stated that the court of governors was convened to receive a report of the recent act of the Court of Common Council in using the seal of the Royal hoTihils without the authori . y of the governors, and in disregard of the formalities required by the Act of Parliament, and to authorise such proceedings as might be necessary to protect the rights of the governors. It appears that by an act 22d Geo. 111., c. 77, passed in 1782, and which embodied an agreement entered into between the corporation and the pre sidents, treasurers, and acting governors of the Royal hospitals, St. Thomas's among the rest, for their management, it was provided that the seai of the several hospitals should be kept by the Cham berlain of London for the time being, and that all leases, deeds, and other instruments relating to the hospital or their estates, revenues, or possessions, after the same should have been examined and signed by the presidents and treasurers and a com petent number of the aldermen and other governors, should be left at the Chamberlain's office from time to time for the seal to be affixed, with a docquot or writing explaining their purport, won which such documents should be sealed in the next Court of Aldermen or of Common Council which should first happen, without any reading, addition, examination, or alteration of the same. That being so the Court of Common Council, without the knowledge of the rest of the governors of the hos pital, affixed the seal of the hospital, at a recent meeting to a retainer to Mr. Nelson, the City Solicitor, to carry into execution the powers vested in the governors by the St. Thomas's Hospital Act, and they empowered him to make such application to the High Court of Chancery in the matter of the site as he should deem necessary or expedient. This act on the part of the corporation appears to have given umbrage to the rest of the governing body, and at meetings of the grand committee of the hospital, held on the 26th of January and the 12th of February, resolutions were passed expressive of regret that recourse should have been had to it, and stating that it is subversive of the constitu tion of the Royal Hospitals, as settled and esta blished by law. The solicitor to the hospital, Mr. Wainwright, has also been instructed to take such stops as in the opinion of counsel are necessary and proper, not only for rendering the unauthorised proceeding of the Common Council nugatory, but also for maintaining unimpaired the rights an privileges heretofore enjoyed by the hospitals unthr the act of 1782. After the minutes of the grand committee had been read, Dr. LEESON moved a resolution to the effect that the Court desired to express its full concurrence in the views of the committee in reference to the pro ceeding of the Common Council, and authorised the committee to take such steps as, in the opinion of counsel, were necessary to protect the gover nors and to maintain the rights and privi leges of the hospital, under the statute of Geo. 111. He also moved that Mr. Wainwright, the solicitor of the hospital, be directed on behalf of the gayer nors,to give notice to the charity commissioners of the proceeding which counsel had advised to be taken, and to apply for the commissioners' warrant to authorise such proceedings. He said that while they were in apparent opposition to the City of London, they all felt that it was not the Corporation of London as a whole, hut a certain party in it, who were taking steps in regard to the hospital which were objectionable to the views of the general body of the governors. A very erroneous opinion pre vailed that the hospital was indebted to the Corpo ration for a great part of its funds. In a report of the charity commissioners a full account was given of the disputes which in times gone by arose between the corporation and the donation governors, and which were supposed to be amicabiy settled by the act of 1782. Now, however, the donation governors were much in the position of the Danes in relation to Schleswig-Holstein, for an attempt was made to set the treaty aside, and it now be came a question whether this Royal Hospital was to be governed solely by the corporation, or whether the corporation was to be associated, as heretofore, in its government .by a number of large-hearted men of great experience and independent means. Mr. STEWART, a member of the Common Council, denied that the seal had been clandestinely affixed to the retainer by the Court of Common Council, and be questioned that they were precluded by the terms of the act from doing it in the manner they did. It had been imputed that it was the act of a clique in the Common Council, but he denied that any such clique existed. The corporation of London believed that the hospital was about to be re-erected in a wrong place; and all that they wanted to do es governors was to prevent that, in the public inte rest. There was a long list of noble-minded citizens who from time to time had given immense sums of money towards the endowment of that and other of the royal hospitals ; and the corporation, as the representatives of these men and in their own right as governors, were only desirous of doing their duty before the world in this important trest, and had no sinister parpose to serve. The PRESIDENT, in reply to Mr. Maudslay, said he believed the seal affixed to the document in ques tion was the seal of all the Royal hospitals. A GOVERNOR contended that by the statute the Common Council were limited to a ministerial act simply, and had no deliberative power, inasmuch as they were required to seal even without reading. Dr. LEESON said that this WdS the first occasion on which the seal of the hospital had been in used. After acme further conversation, in which Mr. Alderman Salomons, Mr. Johnson (the treasurer of Bridewell Hospital), and other governors took part, the resolution was put and carried with few, if any, dissentients, and the court adjourned. ROYAL COLOSSEUM.—Our readers, although Familiar with the prefix " iast season," to the an nouncements of this famous institution for some months past, will scarcely be prepared to realise the fact that it is no longer one of the sights of London, There are all sorts of rumours prevalent with respect to it. Some go to the length of demolition, others, on the contrary, speak of entire renovation, with new and special entertainments under the entire direction of the untiring acting managerMr,Ni In mo. Nothing, however, is yet possibly known as to the future, but it is to be hoped that an establishment which has afforded so much delight and gratification to many thou sands of our counrry folks and foreigners may be preserved for the greater number who knew it only by report, and cannot possibly realise the great interest which it possesses. With the disappearance of the Colosseum London will pre sent one feature the less.' THE WAR IN DENMARK,—Mr. Bentinck will, on Monday next, ask the President cf the Board of £rade " whether her Majesty's Government have re • ceived any confirmation of a statement which has ap peared in the public journals, to the effect that the Prussian authorities in Schleswig have extinguished all the coast lights in that locality on the shores of the Baltic ; and, if so, whether British shipping will not be exposed to great in convenience and risk in consequence of that proceeding ; and whether, in the opinion of her Majesty's Government, each a proceeding is in accordance with the usages of civi lised wartare, in cases where the safety of neutral vessels is thereby compromised•',' THE CONCIERGE OF PARTS.—The privileged of the concierge are bearable.
